Most Convenient: Amazon

Available at Amazon

You can order just about anything from Amazon these days, including live houseplants at affordable prices. The retail giant even has its own plant shop where you can find everything from assorted succulents to houseplants like this snake plant. There are also potted and un-potted styles, too. This snake plant is super easy to care for, and it comes housed in a 6-inch pot. It is well-priced at $18 and has free shipping. Many other options also have Prime shipping, so you can enjoy faster and free shipping.

Best Value: Walmart

Available at Walmart

Kitchen appliances and entertainment systems may come to mind when you think of Walmart, but it's also an excellent place to shop for cheap plants online. From large trees to small plants, the retail giant sells them all at a great value, and most are available for free delivery or in-store pickup. The only catch is that not all of the houseplants are for sale in every state, so be sure to read the fine print before you get too attached to a particular one.

Best Quality: The Sill

Available at Thesill

This online plant retailer has a wide range of affordable smaller plants (and some more expensive larger ones). For example, you can find high-quality indoor plants like this small parlor palm in a grow pot for as little as $38 (not including shipping). Keep in mind that if you select a larger size or add a decorative pot to your order, the cost will start to go up.

Best Basic: Wayfair

Available at Wayfair

When it comes to buying affordable plants online, there's no better place to shop for the basics than Wayfair. While it's certainly not a plant specialty store, the large home retailer offers a surprising amount of indoor live plants, from fiddle leaf fig trees to hanging ferns. You can shop a variety of potted houseplants while you browse the website's additional decor and furniture.

Most Stylish: Terrain

Available at Shopterrain

You may have stumbled upon Terrain while wandering through Anthropologie, but did you know the brand's garden essentials and plants are available online, too? While some of the houseplants can get a bit pricey, there are still plenty of affordable options to choose from, including this colorful prayer plant.

Most Unique: Etsy

Available at Etsy

Sellers around the world offer all sorts of cheap plants through Etsy that ship straight to your door. You can easily filter through the results by price and plant type in order to find the one that's perfect for you. For example, this 20-inch-tall peace lily is available for as little as $19 and comes in a 4-inch container made from sustainable, plant-based materials.

Best for Beginners: Bloomscape

Available at Bloomscape

For high-quality houseplants that look just as good when they arrive at your home as they do online, head to Bloomscape. The brand offers many different varieties with prices starting at $39, which includes the decorative containers the plants arrive in. Each plant, including this hedgehog aloe, comes safely packaged with your choice of pot, along with clear instructions on how to best care for it.

Best for Gifting: The Bouqs Co.

A houseplant can be a meaningful gift, and The Bouqs Co. is one of the best places to find gift-worthy potted indoor plants you can ship to someone you love.
