Where to Shop for Aesthetic Indoor Plants in Singapore (by Area)

Kinfolk vibes incoming.

Indoor plants have taken root (pun intended) as a ubiquitous form of décor here in Singapore; and it’s easy to see why. They bring a touch of nature to a concrete space, create a calming atmosphere, and give you a sense of satisfaction whenever a new leaf sprouts.

Whether you’re a plant parent or simply an aficionado for aesthetics, this one’s for you. From tiny cacti to tall greens, lush foliage to artificial plants that require zero maintenance, here are indoor plants shops to check out.

1. The Nursery Singapore: popular and exotic plants

The Nursery Singapore may initially look like any other plant shop from the outside. But a closer look reveals a showcase of a horticulturalist’s wonderland with popular and exotic plants such as Japanese bonsai, olive trees, and lemon trees.

Their plants have made their way into many residential and commercial properties, and you might have even snapped some Instastories of them at the famed Cafe Kitsuné that opened its first outlet in Singapore in 2022.

Founded by two brothers from a family of horticulturalists, The Nursery Singapore has a team of experts ready to advise you on the best plants and planters for your home based on natural lighting conditions and interior aesthetics.

Should you decide to transform your home into an indoor green space, they also provide site evaluation (“BESPOKE plant service”) to point you in the right direction. Curation of plants and custom installation services are also available.

4. Littlebotany: for novice plant shoppers and air purifying plants

Originally a hobbyist account on Instagram to showcase the owner’s collection of ornamental plants, Littlebotany evolved into a group of plant enthusiasts who decided to share their love for horticulture by starting a business. Together, they champion urban gardening and encourage movement towards an eco-friendly lifestyle.

Littlebotany carries a wide range of plants across their 3 locations as well as their online store. For easier perusing, these are split into categories such as the mini ‘Air Purifier’ plants which are said to absorb toxins in the air and keep the air in your home clean, Aroids and tropical plants that can (literally) take the heat.

And while online stores are certainly convenient, sometimes you just want to see the plant in person before making a purchase. To help with that, Littlebotany has since installed eco-friendly plant vending machines in Suntec City, Waterway Point and North Bridge Road – whichever’s the nearest for you!

And if you’d like to cultivate your green fingers, Littlebotany also conducts monthly botany and pottery workshops where participants can walk home with a plant and an essential kit at the Newcomer’s Workshop. After all, the business itself is living proof that small beginnings matter!
