You know I like you if I go out of my way to show people how amazing you are. You. You Plant Shop. I'm talking bout you. I love this little gem of a shop. I can always find something there, even when I'm 100% not looking for a single thing. I really love how they hit all the price points, from $4 and up, you can find something that is ok for your wallet. I love that the folks who work there have always been friendly and really knowledgeable. Every plant I've gotten from here has thrived and done very well, I highly recommend!
Since I've (unbelievably) never reviewed Plant shop Chicago, doing so on Earth Day seems apropos. I love this shop. I was skeptical, because succulents aren't my thing. But they have a lot more than succulents, thankfully. The first time I stopped in was back in December. I felt bad because it was near closing and though I'd only planned to go in for a minute, I ended up staying a good 10 past closing. Ozzy was cool though, and I ended up with two new plants, as well as a couple pots. Their plants are gorgeous and really well cared for. I got my monsters from here and it's doing well! When I come in here I eye the pothos but haven't picked one up yet. I got a few gorgeous pots here, too, and one super adorable owl pot that I am looking forward to getting our aloe plant comfortable in (ok, one succulent, but that was a mistake!). Can't go wrong by making a stop here. Street parking only, which may be pay parking in some areas (like on Elston), at least at some parts of the day. The store is filled with plants without feeling overwhelming crowded and these folks know their stuff.
If you like to collect Cactus and succulents then it's worth checking out this plant store. They have a nice selection of some unique species like their Gymnocalicium mihanovichii with buds and blooms and I got an Agave lophantha Quadricolor for a good price. They also have plenty of tropical houseplants that are not commonly found in big box stores. Beautiful ferns with nice aroids, some unique aglaonemas and philodendron.
The staff and team at the Plant Shop are great and knowledgeable. I bought my first big Monstera plant last year and sought their help in repotting to a bigger pot and get it to grow upright as it was getting heavy. I called ahead and spoke to Chance who explained best hours and days to drop off the plant. I brought it in last Saturday and Ozzy and Chance were there to further assist. Ozzy helped in recommending pot size, proper soil and various ways to stake the vines to help it grow upright. I was in no rush to get the repotted plant back and they said to have it back in a few days. To my wonderful surprise, Ozzy repotted it on the same day and I was able to pick it up next morning. I'm so happy with my new repotted Monstera and hope that I can continue to keep it thriving. They also had 15% off that weekend and I left with an adorable Peperomia. Thank you Plant Shop for your continued help ! You guys are great !
I decided to delve into becoming a plant owner, and I wanted to go somewhere I felt confident I would receive expert guidance on the execution of my plan to hopefully not unwittingly cause the execution of my plant!! I received great advice, and now we have a wonderful little plant in our home to hopefully succeed with for years to come. Thanks, Plant Shop!
This little shop is hipster hip! The line was longer than at Trader Joe's when we went to "check out" our Bird of Paradise (our lovely Gretchen). It was an arranged marriage, but true love in the end. This was one of the few shops in Chicago that had this gorgeous tall beauty. We snatched her and she was worth every penny
I've been using curbside pickup to get my plants, but I couldn't resist going in the store today. Plant Shop Chicago has a great system in place for social distancing. You wait by the front door for an employee to greet you and they will place you on a waitlist if there are more than 5 people in the store. The waitlist is online and allows you to see your place in line. It also sends you a message when it's your turn. I was able to sit in my warm car while I waited, but they also had a heater outside for anyone that wanted to wait there! Finally being able to go inside the store was a wonderful experience. They have so many unique plants and the staff are so friendly and helpful. They carefully package up your plants for safe transportation too. I left with 5 plants today, but I know I won't be able to resist getting more!
I love this local plant shop so much! I originally came here looking for a rare Raven ZZ Plant in 2019. I was so thrilled to find one after months of searching and so started my love with this shop. I have since gotten about 5 new plants from there and love the uniqueness of every single one! Prices are higher than you will find a Lowes or Home Depot because it is a local small business with some rarer options in store! Such a wonderful atmosphere, great staff, and wonderful sense of community.
I just stopped by this place based on yelp reviews and it did not disappoint! There was a great variety of house plants and I left with about 6 of them. The person working there was genuinely nice and very knowledgeable of the plants I asked about. He even offered to carry the plants to my car. Great spot if you're looking for house plants! And if you're a plant newb like myself. I plan on calling them whenever I have questions
Best plant store ever. They have so many varieties of unusual plants! It's so much fun to go there. The cacti are amazing and if you buy a plant there they will plant in a new pot for you. Very professional. They know their stuff.
I visited the plant shop Chicago for the first time today and I LOVED IT!!! Upon walking in you are greeted with the most homey warm vibe ever, and an array of aesthetically pleasing plants. Also can we talk about how amazing the music playlist is! Anyway, I went with the purpose of buying some new plants and getting some questions answered for my school project, Elena was so patient and knowledgeable with answering all of my questions on pests in our area and teaching me about basic plant care.
Parking is pretty easy around the shop as there's free parking right across the street! This plant shop is a little smaller than the one I previously went to, but the plants did not disappoint! I felt like this shop had more succulents of varying sizes, which I really appreciated because I'm a sucker for succulents! They even have tiny baby looking ones which were soo cute. The plants here are a little pricier than plants sold at big chains, like Home Depot, but I believe they're pricier for a reason. All the plants are very well kept and cared for. They even have a little section where they show you the plants they are currently caring for that aren't even ready to be sold yet! I really appreciate that because you can observe the growing process and you know the plants are greatly cared for. They also have a back section with food, fertilizer, and other tools for gardening and whatnot :)
Plant Shop Chicago is AMAZING! THIS IS A MUST STOP PLANT SHOP for plant lovers! The staff is always so helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. PSC always has amazing plants and selection of accessories in stock ALWAYS. They have a great variety of tropicals, cactus, and succulents. PSC makes their own cactus soil mix and tropical soil mix which they mix in house daily. It is AWESOME soil. They have a lot of different substrates available in store such as perlite/pumice, coarse sand, gravel/lava rocks, etc. The vast array of substrates available at PSC are great for top dressing for plant staging, propagating plants, seed growing medium, or just making your own soil mix at home. PSC always has terracotta and different cool pots in stock as well. Also they sell amazing hot sauce, cool T-shirts, and offer free sweet stickers and Topo Chico on site as well. They have a loyalty program where you get $5 back for every $100 you spend. They just started shipping nationwide; so check out their website and order some plants. You won't regret it! The owners Ozzy and Juan are such great guys who love what they do; PLANTS!!! They are very active in the plant community and it is AWESOME!!! PSC does a lot of charity fundraising for the less fortunate, current issues affecting our nation, and much more via plant events/shows, live plant auctions, food and supply drives, and more. PSC is a huge advocate for of the Cactus and Succulents Society of Greater Chicago. PSC does weekly/bi-weekly Sunday live plant auctions via Instagram Live which they sell really cool plants. If you are a plant lover; you have to watch a Plant Shop Chicago Live Auction. It is awesome! Make sure to check your lag watching the PSC IG Live Auction so you don't miss out on the plant of your dreams or someone might snipe you when the timer goes off! PSC definitely are plant influencers and plant trendsetters in the community. They throw awesome plant events/shows like their annual summer block party, plant swaps, beer release/houseplant showing parties, and much more. Plant Shop Chicago is definitely the coolest plant shop out there! Plant Shop Chicago; thank you for all you do and more!

Ozzy and his business partner are amazing humans. I reached out to Ozzy inquiring if they would be able to provide 300 mini succulents for an event, and they worked with me and my team to achieve our vision. The succulents were healthy, and everyone loved them! We got them for a great price and delivered on time!!! Plant Shop has been a wonderful addition to the local business community in the Northwest side of Chicago! read more

What a lovely, lovely store. I've been bitten by the house plant bug, and decided to stop by Plant Shop Chicago after finding them on Instagram. This is the perfect little spot to take your time & look around at the aesthetically pleasing plant selection. The staff is also super helpful if you have any questions about anything as well. The staff will also pot your plants if you purchase soil. The owner also mentioned they do educational workshops (follow them on Instagram @plantshopchicago to keep up to date on event info and shop inventory). I've been treating my plants like my babies & watching them flourish. All I can think about it is to keep going back to Plant Shop to continuously grow my plant collection one by one! read more

I can't say enough great things about this little corner shop. First of all, the staff were so kind and knowledgeable and not at all judgy! Ashley totally helped me out by walking me through what I needed to do to save a fiddle fig that I rescued from the alley garbage can. I also heard another staff member answering questions and helping another shopper. Secondly, they are practicing wonderful Covid-19 precautions, so I felt safe shopping there. I've made a commitment to support this business and I'll be buying all my gifts from Plant Shop Chicago! read more
Super cute plant shop that just opened in Mayfair Park! The owners are very friendly and have tons of knowledge on each specific plant. I was nervous and assumed everything would be expensive, but there's something for everyone's budget. The range is around $3-$35ish which is pretty much the same as larger stores. I like the fact that this store is local and you can always pop in and ask the owners a question. Definitely a great addition to Mayfair Park and I'm hoping I can actually keep my plants alive now! read more

I came back from visiting my brother in Brooklyn, totally impressed by his rotund & kingly airplant. Located nearby plant shops, stopped by here one afternoon after seeing their instagram page have one of my wishlist plants, stephania erecta. I spent more time than I expected because there were so many cute plants, several others that were on my wishlist. Picked out an aucampiae lithops and some pumice. Friendly and helpful service. Definitely would recommend! read more

As someone who is terrible with plants, this place makes it so easy to buy and care for my plants. They know exactly how to care for any plants in the store and all of the plants I've gotten from here have thrived when I brought them home. They also have the friendliest staff and owners. Novice or experts welcome here! Every experience is a great one and I only wish I had more money to spend on plants here. read more

Monstera and Fiddle leaf and Cacti oh my!!! What's not to love about this place? The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. I have been here at least 5 times since they opened and can't get enough of this place. Huge windows allow the plants to get tons of natural light and stay healthy. Definitely check this place out, you won't be disappointed. read more

Full of lots and lots of cactuses! I was a little disappointed in the selection. I felt like there wasn't much of a variation of plants. I'm assuming prices were significantly high because, well it's Chicago! As for location, it's a bit of a drive. About 25 minutes out of the downtown area. Shockingly, I did not come home with a new plant. But definitely an Instagram worthy place! read more

I LOVE the plant shop Chicago. Super quality plants that you can tell are VERY well taken care of. I'm a new plant mom and the girl who works there (sorry didn't catch her name) was super patient with me answering all my questions and teaching me about basic plant care. I went to home Depot for a snake plant and it came with little spiders :( I wish I had gone to plant shop instead. During Coronavirus they are closed but I messaged them asking for some re-potting tips and help with my spider and fungus gnat issue. I'll update my review with any feedback. For now, I'm extremely pleased with their love of plants. read more
