The Sill

No matter the size of your abode, a few plants can transform a place from dull to vibrant. While not everyone can have a vegetable garden or large verdant patio overflowing with bougainvillea, almost anyone can add a few select plants to their interior spaces to liven things up and purify your air.

The best news for the almost-hermits out there? You don’t have to haul yourself to a big-box store to buy plants anymore. Companies like The Sill, Bloomscape, and even Amazon will deliver all the ferns and monstera you could desire directly to your door. Without further ado, here are 15 of our favorite indoor plants you can order right now.

And for more plant inspiration, check out our full list of the best places to buy plants online here, and picks for planters of all sizes and styles.

Add some color

These fun plants boast ever-changing leaves with purple, yellow, red, and pink hues that are sure to brighten up your space.

Calathea Medallion in a Medium Dolores Planter

Available in four different medium-size pots, this Calathea Medallion plan thrives in medium indirect light so it works well in apartments without a ton of sunlight. We love the round leaves with brilliant markings that resemble a medallion.
