Plant delivery services in Singapore
With so much greenery around, it’s no surprise that Singapore is often known as the Garden City. But our busy schedules, coupled with the remoteness of many plants and nurseries, often mean that few of us have green fingers. How do we keep up with such a time-intensive hobby, especially with all those emails and to-do lists?
Well, thanks to these plant delivery services in Singapore, you only have to lift your finger to hit “order”. Whether you’re thinking of beautifying your workspace with some air freshening plants, intending to be self-sufficient with your own vegetable garden or just looking to start a new hobby, these will help you achieve your green dream.
1. Chlorofeel – Grow plants indoors without sunlight

As we learned in school, plants can make their own food using water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide. However, with the recent rainy spells and monsoon season coming up, our beloved plant babies might start to get a little hungry, especially with all those dark skies.
Luckily, Chlorofeel’s Chlorolight ensures that your plant will be kept well-fed, no matter rain or shine. It’s available in various sizes, with prices starting from $148 for a 60cm Chlorolight.

Besides their Chlorolight, Chlorofeel also stocks up on rare varieties of tropical exotic plants, such as the Monstera Thai Constellation ($125.80) and the Alocasia Frydek Variegata ($127.50).
Delivery: Weight-based, contact them for more information. Shipping is done fortnightly, typically on a Saturday.

2. Kokeball – Specialises in mossball plants

If you haven’t heard of kokeballs, let us introduce them to you. They’re derived from the Japanese art of kokedama, where bonsai plants are grown in moss-covered balls of soil. Kokeball has little plants such as ferns whose roots are first packed in the soil, before being enveloped in moss and finally wrapped in yarn or twine.
They’re designed to be placed in a saucer or small bowl but can be suspended as well. Available from $30 for a variety of plants, such as the money plant and White Nerve, prices can go up to $58 for the beautiful purple Oxalis Kokeball, with its unique triangular leaves.

If you want to learn to make your own kokeballs, sign up for their 2-hour workshops (from $75). Participants can choose between the popular Swiss Cheese or air-purifying Sweetheart kokeball to customise, before taking them home.
Delivery: $10 delivery fee

Got green fingers but the Singaporean dream has got you too tired to water your plants every day? Check out Toh Garden’s collection of self-watering pots (from $50), which will ensure that your beloved plants are kept well-hydrated at all times. All that is needed is to ensure that the topsoil is extensively watered and the reservoir at the bottom is kept full.
How these pots work is ingenious – as the plant releases water from its leaves, it draws up water from its roots. In turn, more water is drawn up from the reservoir under the soil, helping to keep the soil damp.

They are also known as an orchid specialist, with over 200 varieties for sale – including more affordable ones like their mini dendrobiums ($8) or rarer varieties like custom orchid hybrids.
Delivery: $25 delivery fee with $100 minimum spend. Free delivery above $200.

7. Pick A Plant – Air plant specialist

Unlike other plants, air plants, also known as Tillandsia, don’t need soil to survive. Found naturally on elevated structures, they use their highly evolved root structures to absorb water and nutrients directly from the air. Don’t be fooled by their almost otherworldly appearance though; they are close cousins to the pineapple, with both belonging to the same family of plants.

If you’re looking to land yourself one of these highly unique plants, Pick A Plant stocks an extensive variety of them. Prices start at $4 for beginner-friendly options and can go up to $65 for more exotic species, such as Tillandsia Diguetti, which is highly sought after by collectors.
Delivery: $20 delivery fee with no minimum spend. Free delivery above $200.
