If you are shopping for houseplants or looking for some nice planters, Hortology<\/a> is one of the best places to buy them online.<\/p>\n

You can certainly go to a local garden centre, but Hortology offers you the convenience of shopping from your couch. You can also access a much wider variety of plants and pots from an online store.<\/p>\n

Read on for my full review of the Hortology website, including details of what products they sell, their shipping and return policies, and what their customer service is like.<\/p>\n

Who is Hortology?<\/h2>\n

\"Who<\/a><\/p>\n

Hortology is an online retailer in the UK specialising in houseplants, indoor plant pots as well as outdoor planters.<\/p>\n

They also sell plants and planters for businesses and commercial spaces, plus plant care essentials like plant food, watering cans and other accessories.<\/p>\n

Hortology\u2019s mission is to help green up living spaces. Their mission statement states, \u201cWe believe in the power of plants to lift the spirit, calm the mind and clean the air.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hortology was launched in 2016 and today it is one of the biggest online garden centres alongside other well known names like Crocus, Primrose and Dobies.<\/p>\n

Which Products Does Hortology Sell?<\/h2>\n

Hortology sells three main types of products: plants, pots and plant care accessories. Here\u2019s a more detailed breakdown of their product categories.<\/p>\n

Houseplants<\/h3>\n

Hortology has a dizzying variety of houseplants, a much wider selection than you\u2019d find at a local garden centre.<\/p>\n

Whether you want a hanging plant or a desktop succulent, a low-maintenance plant or one that\u2019s safe for your pet<\/a>, they have them all.<\/p>\n

The website makes it easy to narrow down your search to exactly the kind of houseplants you want. You can choose based on the type of houseplant (palm, foliage, succulent etc.), houseplant style (tall, small, trailing, trendy etc.), features (air cleaning, low maintenance, shade tolerant, pet-safe etc.) and room (living room, bedroom and so on).<\/p>\n

You can also click on the A-Z list<\/a> and browse through their entire selection.<\/p>\n

Indoor Plant Pots<\/h3>\n

You can shop for plants and the pots to go with them on the same website. Similar to plants, there\u2019s a wide variety of options to choose from when it comes to the material, size and style of indoor pots and planters.<\/p>\n

This is where the intuitive layout of the Hortology website comes in handy. Instead of wasting your time browsing endless pots, you can select pots by colour, size, shape, material and style. Each category has plenty of options.<\/p>\n

For colour, you can choose modern white and neutral pots, go with brighter, red & pink or yellow & orange pots, or create a cosier feel with brown and terracotta pots.<\/p>\n

Pot sizes include options for mini plants like succulents, small, mid and large pots, as well as XL and tall plant pots. There\u2019s also a category of pot sets<\/a> if you want to get multiple matching pots.<\/p>\n

As for materials, you can choose from metallic, ceramic, cement and natural plant baskets.<\/p>\n

Outdoor Planters<\/h3>\n

Outdoor planters are also available by size, shape, colour and material. Options include plant baskets, matching planter sets, planters for tall plants, and outdoor plant bowls.<\/p>\n

Plants & Planters for Businesses<\/h3>\n

Most businesses require extra-large plants and pots that can be difficult to find at local garden centres. The advantage of shopping at Hortology is that you can get a wide variety of business plants and planters, and you don’t have to worry about transportation.<\/p>\n

Hortology does pallet deliveries for large and bulky orders.<\/p>\n

Plant options include hydrocare plants, office plants, desk plants and tall plants. Planters include decorative pots for maximum aesthetics, XL and tall planters and smaller office planters.<\/p>\n

Plant Care Essentials<\/h3>\n

Hortology also sells products and accessories to help you take care of your plants. The plant care essentials are divided in four categories.<\/p>\n
