TL;DR/The Short Version: Cute little plant store in Little…read moreItaly. Nice selection but nothing too exotic. The Long Version: Given the name of the store, I expected more strange and unusual plants, but I had actually taken a look at their website before coming in, so I knew they didn't have Conophytums or other exotic Mesembs, but I still wanted to stop by to take a look. They may have had some unusual non-succulents, but I'm not particularly familiar nor interested in those types of plants, lol. The store is nicely arranged and staff were pleasant. They welcomed me as I entered and let me know they were available if I needed anything, but I was left to browse on my own, which I prefer anyway. I enjoyed looking around. They had several Curly Bonnie Spider Plants, and I admired how they were so compact and curly, while mine at home is a bit unruly with some straight leaves poking out, lol. They had some pretty pots, but they were a bit pricey for my budget ($14 for a small 2.5 inch pot). Plants looked well cared for. Street parking only. Review #119 (2025)

I wanted a cute plant with the pot .. and realized the pots are hand made and ceramic. It's a small local shop in Ottawa and it was super fabulous. The service was alright.. not very welcoming at first and they were pretty annoyed to see a customer and took a while to get help. The actual pot is a lil pricey but the plants are decently priced. The pot was like 42$ and plants varried between 5-13$ I got the Pink lady / callisia it was so beautiful and fell in love with it. Had to get it .. overall it a beautiful place but maybe get your pots / ceramics somewhere else as they're quite expensive !!

TL;DR/The Short Version: Small little plant store tucked…read moreaway in an industrial park. Friendly staff. Good variety of plants. The Long Version: House of Plants is a small plant store. They also sell their plants online and their website is up-to-date with their current inventory, so if it's not online, they don't have it. This is unlike some other stores where they don't post everything they have in-store, so you might find items in-store that are not posted online. The store is hidden in an industrial park, so you have to go looking for it. Unlikely that you would just drive by and see it. I recently got into plants so I was poking around Google Maps looking for plant stores and found this store that way. They have a good variety of plants and I like how they group plants that can tolerate low light and they indicate which plants are non-toxic to pets. Their plants are all in relatively good shape in contrast with plants at big box stores which sometimes are in poor condition. Their plants are more expensive than big box stores and large greenhouses like Robert Plante Greenhouses, which is to be expected. For example, they had Fenestraria Rhopalophylla (Baby Toes succulents) for $16.99 whereas they are $12.99 at Robert Plante and between $4.99-$9.99 at big box stores. However, I would say their prices are comparable with other small plant stores in the city. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Free parking available in the strip mall parking lot. Review #80 (2025)

UPDATE: Management finally emailed me back and completely refused a refund. They claimed that total…read morecore liquefaction within 4 days is just an environment change issue, that their heavy, un aerated peat mud mix is perfectly fine for flytraps, and that the completely brittle, brown, dead String of Pearls roots I photographed are just naturally small. They tried to sweep this under the rug by offering a partial $60 store credit trap instead of a refund to my card, hoping I would walk away losing $85. I have rejected their credit and filed an official dispute/chargeback with my credit card issuer for defective goods. Do not trust their health guarantee. I am incredibly upset and disappointed by my recent experiences at Robert Plante Greenhouses. I bought 4 pinguiculas, a venus fly trap and a string of pearls throughout August 22, 26, 30 and September 6. All of my carnivorous plants i bought from them developed crown rot within 4 days. Their website explicitly guarantees that their plants are sold in good health, but their carnivore plant stock is plagued by a systemic nursery infection. I bought four separate Pinguiculas (Weser, gigantea, moranensis and a emarginata) and a Venus flytrap across a couple of trips spanning three weeks, and every single one of them collapsed into black, mushy crown rot exactly 4 days after bringing them home. The fact that this happened to multiple plants bought over a 3-week span proves they are neglecting their inventory and keeping an active water-borne outbreak alive on their benches. A healthy plant does not turn to rotting mush in 96 hours under proper care, ruling out any home environment issues on my end. I tried repotting them two days ago to save them and my weser and moranensis completely fell apart in my hands because the core was entirely liquefied. My emarginata was a total goner and had to go straight in the trash, and the other most recent one my gigantea from Sept 6th is in critical condition after hacking the rot off. To make matters worse, a staff member gave me completely wrong care advice for the p. emarginata telling me to leave it dry for 2 days. It was in a tiny nursery pot so it just completely shriveled up and died immediately. On top of that, their soil mix is a joke. They put a light dressing of rocks and perlite on the very top of the pots to make it look airy to a buyer, but underneath it is completely sandy, compacted silt and heavy peat with barely any perlite. Their premade carnivores soil i bought was so compacted that it turned into a heavy, suffocating mud that completely drowned out and choked the flytrap's roots. On top of the carnivorous plant department's massive issues, the variegated String of Pearls I purchased was sold with completely dead, dehydrated roots and immediately turned into a shriveled mess. I paid $7 for basically one strand of dying pearls with brittle, dry, thread roots that were dead on the sales floor long before I bought it. I have lost a total of $146 because this business sells pre existing liabilities, gives the wrong advice for specific species, and sells packages of garbage soil. I have reached out for a refund or replacements and hope management makes this right. I strongly warn others to avoid their compromised stock. The photos attached are all separate pinguiculas bought on separate days showing the black center rot and the compaction under the top soil, and my Venus fly trap is basically dead. I also included a picture of the tray i made trying to save them but almost all the leaves have brown rot, it also includes the mix i made for my pinguiculas so you can compare to what they sell, but obviously they were already compromised when i bought them so i had no chance to save them and my p. weser after it collapsed all the leaves are rotting.

I thought they just sold seeds and gardening supplies. However, my sister-in-law who knows I'm crazy about plants right now found a video on YouTube showing this store's newly renovated plants section. So I had to check it out. They have a lot of stuff. They have books about plants and even cute crocheted/knitted plants too. I came with 2 goals in mind. The first was to find a small terra cotta plant pot saucer (about 2" in diameter) and the second was to look at their indoor plants. I found the saucer, but it was $2.29 for one. I can get them at Dollarama for $1.50 for 3 but they are a bit bigger, like 2.5 inches. So I'm going to hold out for now. I might just end up getting the bigger ones to save some money. I enjoyed looking at their plants. They had Lithops, my favourite plant, but only green ones and reddish/orangey ones, which I already have. I'm looking for purple ones or colours I don't have already. They also had Fenestraria Rhopalophylla (Baby Toes) for only $9.99, cheaper than at most other places, but they weren't in good condition, so I passed. They had lots of string of pearls which were in excellent shape though. I found it odd that some plants were thriving while others were in rough shape. Anyway, I had fun poking around the store. I'm going to return with my husband to check out their organic vegetable seeds. He's in charge of our backyard vegetable garden ;) Lots of free parking available in their private parking lot. Watch out for potholes. Lots of pot holes on the road leading up to the store and in their parking lot. Review #82 (2025)
