Live Plants in Portland, OR

Bring something alive home. Our live plant shelf at 439 SE Grand Ave rotates constantly with one-of-a-kind houseplants from local Portland growers — everyday favorites like pothos, snake plants, and spider plants alongside collector finds like Philodendron Billietiae, Hoya Crassipetiolata, and Scindapsus 'Exotica'. Every plant is an individual: the photos here show a representative example of each species, and the plant you take home will have its own shape, size, and character.

What You'll Find on the Plant Shelf

The mix changes week to week, but you can usually count on trailing plants (pothos, hoya, tradescantia, string of pearls), statement foliage (monstera, philodendron, croton, rubber tree), prayer plants and calathea (peacock calathea, stromanthe 'Triostar', fishbone ctenanthe), easy-care starters (snake plant, dragon tree, parlor palm), and terrarium-sized picks (nerve plant, creeping fig). Most are 4-inch starter plants priced between $10 and $30 — an easy add-on while you're furniture shopping, or a reason to visit all by themselves.

Pet-Friendly and Low-Light Options

Each listing notes pet-safety, light needs, and watering in plain language. If you share your home with curious cats or dogs, look for pet-friendly picks like hoya, parlor palm, spider plant, prayer plant, and peperomia. Short on sunlight? Snake plants, parlor palms, and pothos handle lower-light Portland winters better than almost anything else.

Why Buy Plants In-Store Instead of Shipped?

Live plants shipped in boxes arrive stressed — cold-shocked in winter, cooked in summer, and always jostled. Ours never ship at all. You pick the exact plant you want off the shelf, healthy and acclimated, and carry it home the same day. That's also why our plants are in-store pickup only.

Common Questions

Do you ship plants? No — live plants are in-store pickup only at our Portland showroom. What you see online is a representative photo of the species; come pick out your exact plant in person.

Are the plants really one-of-a-kind? Yes. Our plants come from local consignors in small batches, so availability changes constantly. If a plant shows sold out online, a sibling may already be on the shelf — it's worth a visit or a quick call.

Do you have planters and pots too? Yes — our decor collection and home accents include planters, vases, and stands, and our faux plants collection covers the spots where a live plant won't thrive.
