It's always difficult to walk out of this store without too many new plants! The selection is great and the staff are always welcoming and knowledgeable. The variety and health of their plants is exceptional and they're always willing to share their expertise. They even repotted a couple of plants I bought there years ago when I didn't know how. I just wish my place were bigger so I could grow more of their really cool plants! read more

Exotic Plants is located on Fulton Blvd, just South of Arden Way. It's much larger than it looks at a glance from the outside. They've been in business since 1972 (having relocated several times) and "offer premium indoor plants, decor, and services, including expert interior scaping" according to their website. The staff are friendly and their tropical plants are beautiful! It's a great place to shop for Monsteras and such. They had a nice variety of pots on our most recent visit. Plus, they offer workshops and events like "Fall Moss Art Workshop" and "Holiday Wreath Workshop". Prices are reasonable for the high quality items available for sale. read more

This store was so gorgeous! Truly all art pieces. I was able to meet the store owner, Kifumi, and she was wonderful. They have events and workshops in their beautiful store. I purchased a beautiful bonsai and orchid piece. I am so pleased with them! Truly show stoppers. read more

We love a good plant shop, and this place was great with a specialty in bonsai. I purchased a bonsai as a gift for my husband. Although the staff weren't that helpful (I guess the owner is the real expert), he was friendly enough. There's a space in the back for creating plant art, and everything looks lush and taken care of. There's also a big tent in front that looks like it can hold larger events. it's a very unique place for the area! read more

Houseplants here looking F-A-B. Me holding hanging houseplants and doing the scrutinizing slight lean-back as if they're fancy handbags lol. Very neat to see some really uncommon ones. There's a considerable variety of hoyas here in particular. Oh and hello there humungo monstera Thai constellation and monstera albo (which individually may or may not cost an arm and a leg). Even from a window-shopping perspective this nursery gives off small-space botanical garden vibes. Compared to big-box counterparts, this nursery is more of the quality-over-quantity type. Each houseplant really does look like it's receiving a good amount of care and I wouldn't be surprised if serious houseplant collectors in the area drop by here regularly to see what's in store at the given time. If you want to expand your houseplant collection with special additions or just want to stroll around in an orderly jungle (oxymoron kinda?) of happy houseplants then this place is worth a peek! read more

After driving past this place forever, we finally stopped in for the holiday craft fair and terrarium making class. This place was amazing, such beautiful plants ranging from affordable, small ones to expensive huge well established ones. Nice array of indoor and outdoor pots. Beautiful moss art. I'll be back more prepared for some purchases. Great class, very well taught and we had so much fun! Very reasonable price for the material offered and provided. If they offer other classes in the future, I'll be back! read more

I love this place. As soon as I went in, someone greeted me and asked if there was anything I was looking for in particular. I said I was looking for air plants. The air plants were near the register. They didn't have many to choose from, but I enjoyed looking at them, especially the gigantic one that was about the size of 1 gallon water jug. I only visited for a short time, yet I was inspired. I love their wall art of living plants in the back room. It's like stepping into an art gallery. One thing I'm going to try to mimic is their propagation wall. Shortly before this visit, I started to propagate my prayer plant. Two days after placing stems in water, I noticed roots beginning to grow out of them. I was super happy. When I saw Exotic Plants' propagation wall, I was excited. I'm thinking to do something similar but less extensive. Though I didn't buy anything, I would definitely return here. The employees were friendly. read more

Exotic Plants - Begonia and staghorn fern kokedama - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Sacramento, California

I was in Sacramento about 3 weeks ago for work and saw this exotic shop and what drew me in were the Yelp Reviews and the artwork on the exterior of the building. I was so excited that I had to show my best friends over FaceTime. One lives in Davis and the other in Fresno so I took screenshots of some of the plants that caught my eye on the FaceTime. I bought one for my friends and myself. It was so full of gorgeous plants but felt very well organized. It was also aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The staff was super nice and helpful. I wanted something that best fit the needs for my friend Victoria who loves having to baby her plants and water them as much as possible. I on the other hand needed a plant that loves to be neglected. I ended up getting her and I a Goldfish plant which could handle being babied or neglected a little. I also got myself and adenium desert rose which really needs to be left a bit more to its own devices and thrive from being neglecting a bit. The staff really was willing to have that conversation to help guide me buy the plants. Unlike when you go to Home Depot or something where the staff probably only has minimal knowledge of the plants they're caring for, usually improperly. The staff here definitely knew what they were talking about. I want to go again when I'm in the area again. read more

I have passed by Exotic Plants since they were at their old location, but never had the courage to step inside! I thought that it would be way too advanced for a basic plant-keeper like me. But now that I have been there a couple of times, I have discovered that there was absolutely nothing to be intimidated about! The staff are super friendly, knowledgable and helpful. The plants are in great condition. There are some unique pots scattered throughout the store. You can buy individual substrate components to make your own blend, which I love. They even sell crystals and gorgeous ready-made terrariums that would make great gifts. It's just a fantastic store (though my bank account may disagree) and everyone who is interested in indoor plants, succulents, bonsais, and orchids should take peek! read more

Great new location with the most gorgeous plants for indoor, outdoor, arrangements and tropicals. Upon entering its as if you've been transported into a secret garden of the most beautiful and tropical plants. All the staff is very helpful, giving advice and offering to help with any plant tips. The owner Kifumi is so kind and has a wealth of insight on plant care and arranging. Definitely if you are looking for any type of specific or specialty/exotic plant I would bet you could find it here. They will even come to your home or office and give you a free consultation as to what type of plants will grow in your space. Absolutely love Exotic Plants. read more

I cannot say enough about this place. They used to be located near World Market and recently moved to a bigger location on Fulton Ave. The second you walk in you are welcomed with a friendly attendant and a beautiful aura of nothing but happy and healthy plants that are inviting themselves to go home with you to live. I spent a good 30 minutes just walking around the inside. There is an outside are which at the time housed mostly the succulents and at the time Christmas items. I came in on a rainy day and was greeted by Andrew whom was super sweet and very knowledgeable. I walked away purchasing a cebu blue pothos which will be a perfect addition to my already large collection of plants. I look forward to returning to EP and purchasing my next plant. read more

So. . .I love this place. Not only because of the beautiful plants but the sweet owner, Kifumi and her awesome staff. I was here for Yelp Elite event a couple weeks ago and while there, one of the staff members let me know they were having a similar event today (Sept 28th) so I invited my sister to join me. It was her 47th anniversary There was food and music, tutorials and of course. . .beautiful plants. I came across one of the prettiest flowers I've ever seen, a bromiliad/bromeliad. I had to get it. I also bought a croton since there was a BOGO sale. I love them both. I don't have a green thumb but I love plants. I've always been afraid to buy plants out of fear of killing them. .until I came here. The Kifumi and the staff were provided so much information on how to care for each plant and let me know that if I ever had any questions or concerns, I could call them for help. So I decided to take a chance and I bought two plants. If this goes well, I'll be back because I've seen a few more I'd love to have. Thank you Exotic Plants. I had fun today!! read more

I am blessed to live so close to Exotic Plants. The first time I went here was for their 50th birthday event and it was amazing. It's so fun to see what new events they have coming up. My boyfriend and I are beginners when it comes to plants and the customer service has always been amazing when we stop by. They have always been super helpful and our plants have been thriving. Definitely recommend Exotic plants over anywhere else! read more

I visited Exotic Plants a couple of years ago for a Yelp event and just fell in love with the place! I recently stopped in to get some Mother's Day gifts and I am still obsessed with this place! It's like walking into a hidden tropical paradise right in Sacramento! There are so many varieties of plants and I could spend way too much time here. From rare plants to succulents, they have it all! They are a bit pricy, but you do get what you pay for! The owner Kifumi is so sweet and she makes incredible moss artwork that she sells in her store as well! I ended up walking out with great rare plants for the moms in my life and even a Venus Flytrap for my daughter! Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. I would not buy my plants in Sacramento anywhere else! read more

As a Plant Mom, I love this place. The owner and her staff were so nice and knowledgeable on all things plant related. What's nice is that they are passionate about their work and their plants. The passion is reflected in their plants as every single one of the plants is healthy and beautiful. I especially love the gorgeous orchid selections they offer and the succulents. In addition to being a retailer for your plant needs, they also offer classes on floral arrangements, plant rentals, plant maintenance and other services. The price is a bit higher than the big box stores but you pay for what you get. If quality is what you're looking for, then this is the place for you read more

My BF and I were in the area shopping and enjoying my day off when he pointed over at this little plant shop nestled in a strip mall that I would have never noticed until now. He had been here before and reminisced on how as a kid, his parents would often bring him to this shopping center and buy clothes at the "Tower of Clothes" and shoes from the "Tower of Shoes". Apparently, the "Exotic Plant" store was also here for 47 years! Although the young man at the shop didn't remember the Tower stores at all! LOL! Now, where was I? Oh yes, back to the present! When we entered this place, my interest in all things botanical ignited immediately! We entered a miniature rain forest, jungle and garden all in one. I had to inspect each plant and flower on display. Every specimen was healthy, beautiful, and unique! I'll admit I'm far from having a green thumb, but couldn't resist the strong impulses on trying to dye my thumbs green if necessary! After exploring the shop in length and finding out that they were having a 20% discount on all plants and pots, we had strong incentive to make several purchases. The young man we spoke to was very helpful and knowledgeable, as we asked for advice on how to care for our plants. I can only hope we will be good parents to the newest members of our ever evolving back yard! We were also informed that this plant shop of 47 years, will be moving to a new and larger location sometime this month! 1525 Fulton Ave. Sac, CA. 95825. Can't wait to check them out again soon! read more

Exotic plants is such a special place. It's a relatively small specialty plant shop. The prices are decent for these exotic and unique plants and if you are looking for something special that you can't find anywhere else, this is the place to go. I saw so many unique and beautiful plants here, I wanted to bring many home but sadly most of them were out of my budget. The prices do seem fair though. There are also lots and different art pieces tied together with plants in this store to look at and purchase. read more

Super friendly storekeeper , knowledgeable, and had a spin-the-wheel for a free goodie or discount. I ended up getting a free plant :String of Turtles!! I will be coming back because there are plants you don't usually see and the vibe of the place was great There's also a take a cutting, leave a cutting wall as a cool collect-them-all. read more

Friendly staff, had a wishlist plant that was a little rough but they didn't have another so they gave me a discount which I definitely appreciated. Otherwise it's a pretty good shop, most everything looks well cater for. The orchid display has been neglected, I almost got a zygo but there was no price and it was D R Y with 2/3 inflorescences dead so I passed on that. And the only healthy paph was not one with mottled leaves and when I spend that much on an orchid, it's gonna be one I want not just the healthiest one they had, ykwim? They had several with mottled leaves and spent inflorescences. They had a really broad selection, I saw several begonias and alocasias, calatheas to cacti, divas to set-it&forget-it types. They had some mid quality pottery but I didn't look at the prices because meh. I got an adorable little AV mini that I'm sure will be adorable once it's cleaned up a bit. Overall I'd say 3.75 so we'll round up to read more

While in Sacramento we've decided to check this place out. They're own parking lot was a plus. Staff was friendly and answered all of our questions. They're selection is ok. They're plants looks healthy and well taken care off. They're a bit pricey but I like the idea of spinning a wheel for a discount. They're moss art works was amazingly done. We will definitely come back here. read more

I had never heard of Exotic Plants before attending a swig and dig event there. I will say the shop is beautiful and almost feels junglish since they have many trees there not just plants. They have some pretty cool moss art around the store worth checking out. The swig and dig was a blast I learned a lot and the staff was super friendly I would highly recommend that event. This store has a ton of plants for sale if you need that perfect gift. The prices are a bit more expensive but you know the history of the plant, know it has been well lived, and they will teach you how to care for it and give you follow up advise when you need it..that is worth the few dollars more. They also have rentals for weddings, businesses, home staging and more. Come in and support a local business the owner is living the american dream! read more

I'm obsessed with this place! I recently relocated from NYC to Sacramento during the pandemic. I've been extremely disappointed with how expensive yet low quality the hipster plant shops all over midtown are. Exotic Plants is nothing like those - they have rare plants, basic plants, cactus, you name it - but most importantly they are all healthy! They also always have great discounts and promotions too. The shop keepers are always so nice and helpful too. I'm glad I found my plant shop in Sacramento! read more

As new plant parents we went by to check out the selection and were so surprised by the rare plants we found! There was a sign on the door that said 20% off the whole store so we got excited. It was pretty large with a selection of everything from 2" plants to trees over 7 feet tall. We migrated to the indoor house plant and found all sorts of alocasias, ferns, snake plants, oyster plants and cacti. The price point was a pretty good deal for the size of the plants. A large African mask alocacia with about 18 growing leaves was only $20! The 2" plants came out to $3. My husband is a bonsai lover and they had a great selection of small bonsai, he left with an African boxwood for only $7! The girl working was so helpful, gave us lots of great tips on care for the plants. They are moving to another location next year and we can't wait to check it out! read more

Exotic Plants is my go-to place for healthy, happy plants! The owner, Kifumi is so kind and really has a passion for plants and arrangements. You have to go into the store at least and check out the moss art that she creates - it's hard to convey how stunning it looks through photos! Every single plant I've gotten here has been healthy and thriving, my first plant here was a small pothos and it's been about two years - still going strong! All the plants in the store are strong and thriving and her team of plant experts are always happy to help with any questions and give advice on plants to choose! If you're looking for different types of plants, including exotic orchids and more - this is the place to go. The store is clean and well-kept, and the plants are gorgeous! read more

Exotic Plants is my new favorite plant store! This hidden treasure should be yours too. Located at the Alta Arden express way, at Howe ave., this treasure of a store is in full bloom. They feature a variety of beautiful flowering plants, to some unique greenery. The orchids are stunning. They are luscious, colorful, and ready to plant themselves in a new home. I found myself stopping in, in hopes of finding a welcome home gift, for a new baby arrival for my sister. I was pleasantly surprised by the lovely array of colorful plants. I love that they also offer ceramic pots, which made the plant selection that much more fun! I loved color coordinating my plant selection, with a beautiful pot, to match my sisters home decor. The customer service is impeccable, and the staff knowledgeable about everything they carry. They were very helpful answering my questions about the care and feeding of the plants. More importantly, they were knowledgeable about the safety of the plants, making my selection even easier. Buyers tip- we all love ordering flowers and plants from a florist, going to Exotic Plants is much more personal, and supporting local businesses like theirs, is a great way to help keep these wonderful people growing and thriving. read more

Selection was pretty good, definitely was more of an exotic plant section (which I am so grateful for!), but if you are looking for good beginner house plants try somewhere else. The customer service was amazing, and the pricing was reasonable. I got a 4 inch cebu blue for $20. I was on the hunt for water lettuce and happened to mention it to the employee helping me and they pulled some from the back for me!! Exceptional place! read more

The staff at Exotic Plants were so helpful when my 84 year old mom was trying to find a gift for her friend who cannot garden anymore. We thought a terrarium might be a good gift so she could have plants inside her house now. I had suggested some unusual plants like a butter wort that have lovely flowers similar to an African violet. The staff at Exotic Plants were so kind and customized a beautiful cylindrical glass bowl with different types of bog plants that would complement the butter wort. We were so pleased. They explained about the traits of each plant and even packed the bowl in a protective cardboard box for us to transport the lovely creation. Highly recommend Exotic Plants. read more

Oh my God, I get so many compliments on the two matching plants, with the matching planters, that I got here last month. I knew I liked having plants in the house, but I was really surprised at how many other people noticed them and have remarked on them. Sure Sure, you can get your plants at cheaper places like Walmart and Target, but the selection will be limited, and nobody is there to help you figure out what is actually going to grow in your home. Many of the plants at Exotic Plants are also fully grown, if that's what you want, which you won't get at big chains. For fun, here's a picture of my tiny dog and my new plant. read more

Great place. Excellent prices, and a really great selection of plants you usually don't find in hardware stores.

They are always so knowledgeable about which plant would work best. Their plants always look great when you take them home:)
