I'm comparing the pros and cons of ordering plants online versus buying them in person. Online stores often have a wider selection, but I wonder how well plants survive shipping and whether they arrive in good condition. If you've bought plants both ways, which experience did you prefer, and what should buyers look for before placing an order?
Do you buy houseplants online or from local garden centres?

I realize this is from a while ago, but I wanted to share my experience. I’ve ordered a few plants online and had mixed results — some arrived perfect, others were a bit beat up. The key for me was checking the seller’s packaging reviews before buying. Anyone else found a reliable way to tell if an online shop packs well enough?

I usually order house plants from a local shop that packs them well and ships quickly. They arrived in perfect condition, even during winter. You might check their selection for a reliable option.
