Three plants from the Bloomscape Tough Stuff collection on a table

The Spruce

One thing we didnt love was the lack of communication after placing our order.

We only received our shipping notification the day it was meant to arrive.

But since the planter was packaged so well, this wasnt a huge deal.

Bloomscape undoubtedly triumphs in providing customers with ample care information.

Before you buy, you might see fast facts about the plants to determine if theyre a good fit.

We tested theTough Stuff Collectionand were able to learn about all three included plants before buying the set.

The brand also provides support to buyers long after the greenery leaves the nursery via its care blog.

With its simple categories, browsing Bloomscape is a cinch.

Buyers can shop for indoor plants ranging from extra small to extra large.

While theyre included in the brands XS side range, we were taken aback by their small size.

We also ordered aMoney Treeand were much more pleased with this plants size.

Co-founder Jon Ewing toldGardenCentermagazine that the company aims to be a horticultural resource rather than simply a marketplace.

While expensive, the orchid was much larger than expected, so we didnt mind the high price tag.

We were excited to see that the flower was packaged well.

Its only grown and gotten more beautiful weeks later, so we are more than happy with the delivery.

Lively Roots blog features plant education and inspiration tips to help stoke that lifestyle component.

It also sells potted, hanging, green, and flowering varieties sized small through extra-large.

These were reiterated on the checkout page, which we appreciated.

While the flowers did come potted, we found the design rather simple and industrial.

Otherwise, were confident youll find your next bloom here.

We liked that the care instructions are clearly listed in the product description for each product.

The shipment itself also comes witha comprehensive care guide, so even beginner plant parents can thrive.

In addition to succulents, we also decided to order an array of cacti and houseplants.

We were much happier with the packaging of these plants.

The cacti also had a warning label, which was a nice touch.

For all shipments, we loved the constant communication via email about when the plants would ship.

However, for the selection of succulents and affordable price, we love Leaf & Clay.

We only included brands and sites that exceeded our expectations and made the plant buying process seamless.

However, large selections can also feel overwhelming.

Thats where helpful filters come in.
