🌿 Why buy houseplants?

Houseplants are much more than just decoration – they improve the indoor climate, purify the air and help you relax. By filtering pollutants and producing oxygen, they create a pleasant and healthy atmosphere in your home.

If you want to improve your quality of life , it is well worth it to buy houseplants. In our online shop you will find a large selection of hand-picked houseplants in top quality – easy and convenient to order from home.

🌱 What to look out for when buying plants

✅ Check root quality: A healthy houseplant can be taken out of its pot with a firm root ball – this shows that it is well rooted and robust.
✅ Repot straight away: After buying, it is advisable to put your new houseplant into a larger pot with nutrient-rich soil. This allows the roots to develop optimally.
✅ The right location:

Bright, indirect light is ideal for most houseplants.
Sun-loving plants tolerate direct sun but should be gradually accustomed to the midday sun.
✅ Matching planters & accessories: As well as houseplants, you will also find stylish flower pots, hydroculture accessories and planters for indoor use with us.

Buy Alocasia online at zimmerpflanzen.ch

Alocasia is one of the most popular houseplants and delights with its unique foliage. The large green leaves have long stalks and come in different varieties with individual variations. Whether colourful, small or unusually shaped – there is an Alocasia to suit every taste. This plant is also known as elephant ear, alocasia or arrow leaf.

The variety of Alocasia: exotic plants for your home

If you would like to order an Alocasia online, you will find an impressive selection of these tropical beauties in our shop. Each species has its own charm, but all of them originate from the tropical and subtropical rainforests of countries such as Australia, India and Laos. Their tropical origin makes them evergreen, so they keep their lush foliage even in winter. Alocasias bring a decorative look to any room and impress with arrow-shaped, heart-shaped or oval leaves with smooth or incised edges. Some varieties also stand out with high-contrast leaf veins.

Colourful leaves – more than just green

Although Alocasias usually have green leaves, we also offer varieties with exciting colour combinations. You can choose between light, medium or dark green varieties or opt for unusual leaves in white-green, silver-green, blue-green or even purple-green. These colourful houseplants add special accents and combine wonderfully with other tropical plants.

Alocasia care: how your houseplants thrive best

For your Alocasia to flourish in all its splendour, the right care is crucial. As a tropical plant, it needs sufficient warmth, even in winter. It prefers bright locations, but without direct sunlight, as too much light can discolour the leaves.

Regular watering is essential: the soil should neither dry out nor be too wet. Ideally, water the Alocasia once or twice a week, depending on room temperature and humidity. When the top layer of soil has dried slightly, it is the right time to water.

Nutrients also play an important role. During the growing season from March to October, occasional fertilising is recommended. Take care not to overdo the dose, as too much fertiliser can lead to leaf discolouration or leaf drop.

A little tip for your Alocasia

As Alocasias develop large leaves, these can droop under their own weight. A stem support helps keep the plant upright and ensures it stands securely.

Buy Calathea online at zimmerpflanzen.ch

Would you like a houseplant with stunning foliage? Then a Calathea is the perfect choice for you! These plants are characterised by their large, decorative leaves, which come in a wide variety of species and shapes. They are also easy to care for and improve the air quality in your rooms, as they have air-purifying properties.

The variety of Calathea species

Buying a Calathea online is simple and convenient. In our range, you can quickly find the Calathea variety you like best! Pay particular attention to the unusual leaves, which can vary in size and number.

The shape of the leaves also plays a decisive role. Most varieties have roundish to oval leaves with different tips: pointed, round or blunt. For those looking for something special, there are also species with elongated leaves. Many Calathea fans combine different varieties to emphasise the diversity even more.

A look at our range shows how varied the leaf colours are. Calathea leaves are often multicoloured. For example, the Orbifolia variety has silvery-green stripes, while other varieties offer white-green foliage or green upper sides with purple undersides.

Care and characteristics of Calathea

Caring for your Calathea requires a little attention, especially with regard to its origins. This plant originally comes from tropical regions and therefore needs warmth all year round. Avoid leaving the Calathea in unheated rooms in winter.

The light conditions are also crucial: the location should be semi-shaded to bright, but not sunny. Avoid direct sunlight, especially at midday from spring to autumn, as this can damage the leaves.

Your Calathea is delivered with a suitable pot and the ideal soil. As soon as the pot becomes too small, you should repot the plant to encourage its growth. Make sure to water regularly – the soil should be evenly moist but not wet – and fertilise it occasionally with a suitable fertiliser.

Tips for caring for your Calathea

If the leaves of your Calathea are dusty, you can simply wipe them with a damp, soft cotton cloth. Rinsing them in the shower is not necessary. Be careful not to damage the leaves, even though they are robust.

Buy Monstera online at zimmerpflanzen.ch

Are you looking for a houseplant with impressive foliage? Then a Monstera is just right for you! The Swiss cheese plant impresses with its large, characteristic leaves and grows almost monstrously. Order the right variety now and look forward to fast delivery!

Monstera: our diverse selection of species

In our online shop, you will find an extensive selection of different Monstera species that will show themselves at their best in your home. You are sure to find the ideal variety for you. To make your decision easier, we have summarised the most important selection criteria for you.

A decisive criterion is the growth form, which shapes the look of the plant. We offer Monstera both as a bushy plant and in a climbing form. Bushy plants grow upright and loosely, which is why it makes sense to give them a plant support so that they keep their shape. You can let climbing varieties grow on trellises or cultivate them in a hanging pot so that the shoots hang down freely.

If you want to buy a Monstera online, you should also take a close look at the leaves. Large, glossy leaves are characteristic of this plant, but they differ in colour, shape and size depending on the variety. Classic varieties have full, heart-shaped leaves, while unusual varieties feature lobed or delicately perforated foliage.

Monstera: care and characteristics at a glance

Most Monstera varieties are easy to care for, which is a real advantage in hectic everyday life. To keep your plant healthy, it needs a location that is warm all year round, as it originally comes from the tropical regions of South and Central America. In winter, the Monstera should therefore be kept in a heated room.

A bright to semi-shaded location is ideal for lush growth. However, the Monstera does not like too much light, so you should protect it from direct midday sun. Nutrient-rich soil also promotes growth. Your Monstera is delivered already in a suitable pot with carefully selected potting soil. After a while, you should repot the plant into a larger pot.

As a tropical plant, the Monstera should always be kept moist. Regular watering is necessary, but waterlogging in the pot should be avoided to prevent root rot. Occasional misting with water can also be helpful, as the Monstera comes from regions with high humidity.

Final tips on Monstera care

The Monstera can also grow in the shade, which makes it ideal for rooms with north-facing windows. Even though the light there is not optimal, its lush growth is simply slowed down a little naturally. Nevertheless, a shady location has hardly any negative effect on the vitality of the Monstera.

Buy Philodendron at zimmerpflanzen.ch

The Philodendron is one of the most popular houseplants and delights many plant lovers with its fascinating foliage. Thanks to the remarkable variety of growth forms, leaf shapes and leaf colours, you can choose your perfect Philodendron in our online shop!

Philodendron: the species you will find in our range

Most people choose a Philodendron because of its attractive leaves. The plant develops particularly large leaves with striking veins, some of which grow on long shoots. The leaves are usually green, but some varieties stand out with more colourful foliage. You can even order Philodendron with orange-green or white-green leaves online. Depending on the variety, the leaves are either plain or variegated, and the leaf veins often stand out in a contrasting colour.

With good care, the Philodendron produces strong, robust foliage. The leaves are glossy and usually heart-, arrow- or egg-shaped. Most varieties have smooth, unbroken leaf edges, while some varieties are more strongly pinnate or "incised".

If you are looking for a Philodendron for your home, choose it according to the space available. Bushy varieties take up more space in width, while other varieties, such as the columnar Philodendron, tend to grow upwards. We also offer climbing varieties that also thrive as hanging plants.

Characteristics & care: important information about Philodendron

The Philodendron originally comes from the tropical rainforests. To give your plant a good home, it needs warm temperatures all year round and adequate watering. The soil should always be moist, but without waterlogging. High humidity is not strictly necessary, but regular misting with water can be helpful.

Make sure your Philodendron has enough space to grow. Some varieties naturally reach heights of several metres, and the climbing varieties in particular tend to climb. Philodendron is also known for its fast growth and can quickly fill open "gaps" in your home.

Although the Philodendron is rather small in its natural environment, it has adapted to shady conditions. It is therefore ideal for rooms with less light, such as those with north-facing windows. However, protect the plant from direct sunlight, especially the intense midday sun, as this can lead to yellow leaves.

Tips for a healthy Philodendron

As the Philodendron develops large, glossy leaves even without fertiliser, dust can settle on the leaf surface. This can easily be wiped off with a damp, soft cloth. Smaller plants can also be carefully showered. Remember to repot your plant occasionally and give it fresh soil.
