shopping for plants,real and artificial online.

Usually I prefer buying plants from plant nursery as I see the condition of leaves, flowers and overall general health of the plants before buying.  As the beautiful year is coming to an end wanted to add some Little new energy to our window gardens. And this really was tiny winy but addition to my surprise!!! 

Earlier purchase were ok, as I understand shipping packaging real plants is difficult and the seller also has to bear these extra costs because buyers always compare prices for plants on ground level. Why don't we consider shipping packing also costs a substantial amount of money.

So tempted with the year end sales, ordered few artificial plants and some tubers of adenium plants online. Adenium plants are costly and exotic plants and we can buy in a price range from 650 Rs to 1100 depending upon the size and amount of flowers growing on the plant with container.  As far as I have bought my artificial plants a stalk ranges from 150 Rs 250 Rs to a bunch of exotic roses coming up to Rs 450 and more. 

So with the tempting sale of beautiful colour flowers I ordered the adeniums from different online sources on Amazon and Flipkart. With the affordable rates we could get really tiny winy tubers, I have planted these with hope and love, wishing they grow well in my window garden.

They are quite limp and tiny. The packaging was good and large allowing the tuber to breathe. 

Review of Artificial plants online shopping - These also are small size,but I guess the sales boost up was tempting so I usually avoid adding plastic but inclined as our windows don't receive much sunlight directly,so only Bougainvillia flowers grow. Cactus grow well and my favourite Rubber plant and swaying palms are happy!

Important tips for shopping real  plants online -

1) Read the description carefully, photos are misleading.

2)See the reviews written on Amazon and Flipkart before ordering plants online.

3)Always remember the seller has to add shipping and package costs so the product May be a little bit on higher side price than purchased on ground level. 

4) Do you have the time and energy? Here again don't forget when you go to plant nursery you spend travelling money and time, and also you have to carry the weight of plants bought. I am hence inclining more towards online plant purchase.

5) If the price is shockingly low, the plants are not in good condition or are really small in size. Paying a little more cash can get you good healthy plants. Because small size plants have more risk of dying and less chances of survival.

Tips for shopping artificial plants online -

1) Cheap price artificial plants online are not large size and have artificial look with their quality and colours.Pay more to buy good quality realistic looking plants.

2) Read the description well and check the mentioned size. Take a measure tape and see how much size the buyer has mentioned in the description.

3) Feeling really guilty to have added plastic to my home.  I may give these away.... If you don't have a green thumb and are not good at growing real plants buy succulents and cactus and indoor ornamental plants. These require less care and are happy with some love and neglect.

4) Read reviews before purchasing artificial plants online. It's good that you can now see photos in reviews so you understand well that product.

5) Climbers creepers, silk roses are really good in price range from 350 and more. They are worth it to add some auspicious feng shui energy to your house and office if you don't have time to grow real plants. Good affordable rates some beautiful English roses are with us since many years.

6) You avoid spending precious time and travel money to shop for artificial plants, and now we have a wide range of realistic looking plants available online. 

7) Photos can be misleading so be prepared to get light coloured flowers, a pink plant instead of red, a smaller size stalk, and cheaper silk flowers sometimes loose colour on washing. So the colour is not stable over longer period of time. 

Hope this helps you with future online plant purchase. Happy Gardening from Rizwana!
