Buying plants online can be a fun and convenient way to add to your garden or houseplant collection. However, there are also some disadvantages to consider. If you're interested in buying plants online, here are some basic pros and cons to be aware of:
Wider selection
Certain areas of the world have a much higher concentration of rare and beautiful plants. While you might not have many local opportunities to purchase from a wide selection of plants, buying plants online offers you a world of possibilities. You can find some more common options at better prices, and more exotic and uncommon varieties not sold nearby.
Order from experts
There are myriad options for online plant sellers who are experts in their field. If you are interested in a particular type of plant, like begonias or aroids, you can easily find the best possible selection sold by professionals who know every detail about the product. Smaller nurseries and retailers who specialize in certain plants are much easier to connect with, learn from and buy from when shopping online.
Every plant is unique
One of the joys of plant shopping is choosing the perfect plant from among the group. Each plant is a bit different, and even when cultivated and grown to exact specifications, the plant you order online will never exactly match what you might find on the website. Buying plants online has a necessary element of surprise, which can be fun—or frustrating, especially if you value the ability to find the perfect specimen.
Travel damage is common
Unfortunately, even the most carefully packed and shipped plants can sustain damage in transit. When ordering online from a seller far away, you always run the risk of receiving a plant that's been stressed or damaged by the journey. While most plants bounce back and adjust to their new homes within a few weeks, some more delicate varieties are more susceptible to harm on the way to your door.
Buying plants online can be a fun and rewarding experience. However, it's important to understand the inherent risks and downsides. Keep these tips in mind when shopping for plants online.
Welcome to Long Island Living at its best! The South Shore of Suffolk County is a suburban area that runs along the shoreline of the Atlantic Ocean. Homes in this area consist of primarily residential properties. This area tends to be diverse in culture and income as it varies by hamlet, village or town. Residents along the South Shore have access to many beaches, parks and recreational activities. I pride myself on my honesty, integrity, hard work and personal service. My first career was in education, starting as a teacher then finishing as a guidance counselor and achieving my Master’s and two PD's. In 1986, I began my real estate career. In a sense, I am still an educator and offering guidance; this time I am outside of the classroom educating my clients on the selling and purchasing processes; which have become so complicated recently and guiding them safely through the confusing and ever-changing real estate market. It is very satisfying to me to help people with not only the greatest financial asset in their lives but their greatest emotional asset; where they celebrate holidays, raise their families and live their lives. I take the needs of my clients very seriously and as a result, I am proud to say, over 90% of my sales are the result of referrals and recommendations. Primarily, my areas of service are the Townships of Babylon and Islip on Long Island’s beautiful South Shore, near pristine beaches and wonderful boating, yet only 55 minutes from Manhattan; truly the best of both worlds. I'm a graduate of the Real Estate Institute and am certified as a Senior Real Estate Specialist. I also hold a license as a Notary Public. Please feel free to call or visit so I can help you fulfill your real estate dreams.
