Amazon is a surprisingly good spot to shop for indoor plants, particularly if you look for those sellers with the highest ratings. Plus, as well as Amazon's houseplant selection, you can buy all of the accessories (the pots, the compost, the misters) in the same space, too, which will help you save on shipping costs.
