Traditional House Plants

Westside Nurseries has a large selection of tropical house plants year round. Our greenhouse provides the perfect environment to ensure healthy, lush growth regardless of season. Every home offers a different microenvironment. Whether it’s a warm, humid room or a drafty, low-light corner, you’re sure to find the right fit. Some indoor plants are tough enough to survive just about anywhere.

Choosing a plant with compatible light requirements to your home will help ensure a healthy, happy house plant. Ask our tropical experts for advice and we can assist in making sure you get the right fit for your needs.

Cacti and Succulents

Cacti and succulents are excellent choices for the inexperienced. Thriving in dry, arid conditions, these fun plants require little maintenance. They are well-suited for bright, dry, or warm homes and their ability to store water in their leaves or stems allows them to survive longs periods of time between waterings, making them the perfect choice for the forgetful waterer.

Even though they have water-storing abilities, watering is an essential part to how well your cacti or succulent grows. Overwatering may result in rootrot or stunted growth, but under-watering causes shrivelling in the leaves and stresses the plant.

Resilient and unique, cacti and succulents are a fun way to add life and character to any space.

 Tips for success:

  • Use a light-weight, well draining soil
  • Place in bright, indirect light
  • Consistent but minimal watering
  • Allow plant to dry-out between waterings
  • Slow growing plants. Do not re-pot often
