Explore Our Full Plants Range

Choosing the right plant usually comes down to three things: your light (bright, indirect or low), how often you realistically water, and where the plant will live (indoors, covered outdoors, or open sun). Below is a high-level guide to the main plant families we stock, so you can browse with more confidence. Over time, we’ll continue building deeper guides for each sub-category.

Indoor Plants for Apartments and Home Styling

Indoor plants are a core focus for Inner West living, where greenery often needs to thrive in compact spaces and mixed lighting. Our indoor range includes beginner-friendly foliage through to larger statement plants, with options suited to living rooms, bedrooms, entryways and offices. If you’re unsure what suits your space, we can help match plants to light levels and your maintenance style.

Succulents and Hardy, Low Maintenance Plants

Succulents are ideal if you want a tidy look with low watering frequency. Most prefer bright positions and well-draining soil, making them great for windowsills, desks and sunny balconies with some protection from heavy rain. We stock compact options for small spaces as well as more unusual forms for collectors, and they’re a popular choice for easy gifting.

Ferns and Soft Foliage for Shade or Indirect Light

Ferns are a great option for shaded patios, bathrooms and indoor areas that don’t receive direct sun. They tend to prefer consistent moisture and can add softness and texture to a space. If you’ve struggled with plants drying out, ferns (placed correctly) can be a strong starting point—ask us for guidance on positioning and watering rhythm.

Palms and Feature Plants for Impact

Palms and larger feature plants create immediate impact in bright rooms, covered outdoor areas and courtyards. They’re often chosen for corners and larger pots where you want height and movement. Many palms are straightforward when light and watering are consistent, and they’re also popular for office greenery where you want a premium, clean look.

Orchids and Flowering Plants

Orchids are a classic Sydney gift plant and a great choice if you want flowers that last longer than a bouquet. They suit bright indoor positions and reward simple, consistent care. We carry orchids across seasons and can share quick tips on placement and longer-term care, including how to support future flowering.

Hanging Plants and Hanging Baskets

Hanging plants are ideal when floor space is limited. They’re popular across Newtown and the Inner West for balconies and small courtyards, and they can soften hard edges on patios and pergolas. When choosing hanging plants, consider wind exposure and how easy it is to water safely—our team can recommend trailing varieties that suit your setup.

Climbers for Privacy and Green Coverage

Climbers help create privacy, shade and structure by covering fences, trellises and balcony screens. Some are fast-growing for quick coverage, while others are slower and more controlled. If you’re trying to green up a boundary, we can help you select a climber that matches your sun conditions and won’t overwhelm your space.

Australian Natives and Native Edible Plants

Australian natives are well suited to Sydney gardens, especially when you want plants that can handle seasonal heat and variable rainfall. They’re also a strong choice for pollinator-friendly planting and a more local, natural look. We also stock native edible plants for customers interested in sustainable, productive growing—ask in-store if you’re planning a native-themed garden bed.

Herbs for Kitchen Gardens

Herbs are one of the easiest ways to grow something edible at home. They suit balconies, sunny windows and compact courtyards, and they reward regular harvesting. We stock popular culinary herbs and seasonal options, and we can help you choose combinations that work well together based on your available light.

Fruit and Citrus in Pots or Gardens

Citrus and fruit plants are increasingly popular in Sydney as more people grow edibles in small spaces. Many citrus varieties can thrive in pots with enough sun, consistent watering and regular feeding. If you’re new to citrus, we can help you choose a variety that matches your space and how hands-on you want to be.

Terrarium Plants for Compact Indoor Displays

Terrarium-suitable plants are great for small indoor displays and gifting. They typically prefer stable moisture and indirect light, and they’re a good option if you want greenery in a compact format. We stock plants suitable for terrariums and can guide you based on whether your terrarium is open or closed.

Carnivorous and Rare Plants

For customers who like something different, we regularly stock carnivorous plants and rare collector varieties. These lines can be limited and may change seasonally depending on availability. If you’re building a collection over time, it’s worth checking back regularly—or asking our team what’s arriving soon.

Seeds and Growing from Scratch

If you enjoy growing from the beginning, we carry seed options across seasons. Success usually comes down to timing, light and basic setup. If you’re not sure what to start with, we can recommend beginner-friendly seeds suited to the time of year.

Potting, Gifts and Local Delivery

We can help finish your plant purchase properly with potting support, pot upgrades and gifting options. Potting services are available in-store, and we stock locally made eco-friendly 3D printed pots (made in NSW) across multiple sizes and a wide colour range. Gift wrapping and handwritten cards are available, and local Inner West delivery is offered for eligible items.
