Great variety of flowers and plants to choose from. Price is cheaper than retail shops. There’s a helpful guy who helped us to find the matching base for the flower pots we are buying. He also taught us how to take care of the plants we bought. Payments can be made by NETS, which is a plus point. Great service. By Casey Lau |

Friendly staff who let me stroll around the nursery. Not pressurised to buy their plants and stuff. Varieties of plants to choose from, once in a while discover an exotic one. Not exactly the cheapest around but there are some plants cheaper than nurseries along with Thomson. The only complaint, if any, is hoping they introduce free delivery for over a certain amount of purchase instead of $40 delivery fee regardless of the purchase amount. By Arthur Lim |

Convenient location to MRT. Good selection of healthy-looking plants. Was very happy to find both pandan and curry leaf plants here. Staff were kind enough to wash off the soil at my special request. They accept credit cards as well as cash. Gorgeous Orchids. By Kate Ryans |

I have been buying plants from Chin Ling Nursery for quite some time now, and I have always enjoyed the overall shopping experience with them. The nursery itself has a great variety of plants that are very well taken care of by the amazing staff, all of whom are very friendly and approachable. They also have excellent knowledge of plant-care, which I truly appreciate, and this includes the delivery guys too. I have visited some other nurseries, but I always still do prefer buying my plants from Chin Ling Nursery. Thanks for all the beautiful plants, that now surround my house. I will definitely be back for more. By Nusrah Hay |

Great plants and prompt service! Found them online through their website, which has a wide variety of plants, herbs and other gardening essentials. Ordered 7 herbs online. Placed the order late at night and was pleasantly surprised when they delivered the next morning itself. the plants were healthy and beautiful! Was concerned about the health of one of the plants because it looked slightly blackened. Happy to say that their staff was prompt to reply to my email and replaced the plant within a few hours! Strongly recommend and would definitely buy from them again. By Akshata Mohanty |

Review 2 |
Good reliable place to pick up plants, seeds, and gardening supplies. they also deliver. At the time of this writing, delivery is free with $150 purchase or more. Please call to check. You can also drive in to pick stuff up. Staff is friendly and very helpful. No pressure picking out your plants, they want you to pick the plant that speaks to you! The staff is also very knowledgeable and if they don’t know the answer to your question, they’ll refer to someone who does. Too often you get a non-committal or made-up the answer in Singapore when staff don’t have an answer. Thoughtful service where they carry big bags of plants to your car and also lay out newspaper before they load stuff in the car. By Joe Ng |

This is a truly world-class brand, the best place to buy stuff for home. With the best reasonable prices. And also they have good offers in the restaurant. The showroom had a few good entrances and exits, it’s almost like playing a game within a different showroom. You’ll definitely find what you like. When you’re about to move and you need ideas, IKEA is always a great place for inspiration and making your vision happen. By William W |

IKEA Tampines is my preferred IKEA in Singapore. Shopping and display aisles are spacious, making it pleasant hen exploring the store. It is also worth pointing out that the layout is way less confusing than that at Alexandra. Free parking and new roads have made IKEA Tampines increasingly accessible and appealing.

Newly opened nursery in Simei. Finally, one that’s near home. It occupies the plot of land opposite Moriah-Bible Presbyterian Church. Parking is available within the compound. Easily accessible by public transport too. Nearest MRT is Simei MRT station. You can take a 20 to 25 mins slow walk from MRT. There’ll be more plants next week. By Anna Ng |

One of the best nurseries in Singapore! We were looking for a proper tree and they had a ton! The uncle that was helping us is a walking encyclopedia for plants. He could name every plant and their characteristic s and how to care for them at the drop of the hat, surer kind and friendly too. We were really impressed! The farm is very well maintained and each plant is properly labelled. Well worth a trip from the city! By Sue Wen |

A wide selection of plants at very reasonable prices compared to the typical florist or commercial nursery. There’s more of a wholesale vibe here.

What to Look Out for When Choosing Plant Nurseries in Singapore
Products
One of the first things you should look out for when choosing plant nurseries is the products. Check out the products in the nursery, and check for the health of the plants and the other items you might need for your gardening needs. Are the products of good quality, durable, and readily available consistently?
Staff
The staff of the nursery is another important factor when choosing a plant nursery. Are the staff knowledgeable, and are genuine in helping you even if it means directing to competitor’s range of products which might suit your needs better?
Customer Service
Doing well as a business means providing quality customer service to get customers to keep coming back for the service provided. Poor customer service can be a huge turnoff for potential customers, even if the nursery offers an excellent range of products.
Gather Plant Nursery Information
Deciding on the right plant nursery for you is not easy, so it is important to gather any plant nursery information you can find, be it online or from family and friends.
Visit the Plant Nursery in Person
Unless the plant nursery is online-based, there is no reason why you shouldn’t make a trip down to the physical plant nursery to see and touch the plants. By being present at the physical store, you get to experience the level of customer service and also touch and feel all the plants to determine their suitability, adaptability and health.
Inspect the Plants
Be a critic and inspect the plants at the plant nursery. Don’t be afraid to touch and investigate the plants to ensure that there are no pest issues, weeds, or disease. Keep in mind that whatever you bring home to your garden can infect your garden, and you definitely don’t want that to happen. A reputable nursery will keep the interests of consumers in mind and only provide healthy plants with a good chance at thriving in your garden and no chance of causing an infestation or disease.
Online Plant Nurseries
Who wants to travel to the physical plant nursery when they can simply browse and purchase plants from the click of a button. However, do be wary of the promises and fire sales from electronic retailers. Do your research on reputable and trustable online plant nurseries and ask around for recommendations.
Know Your Options
Know what you want before stepping into a plant nursery. If you’re unsure of what you’re looking for, do your research online on what type of plants suit your needs. You want to be somewhat knowledgeable about plants so that if the staff of the plant nursery tries to trick you into buying the plant by saying things that are untrue, at least you have some basic knowledge about plants and not blindly following and listening to whatever the staff recommend to you.
Plant Nurseries’ Methods of Growing Plants
Plant nurseries grow plants using different methods, which ranges from open fields and container fields to tunnels and greenhouses. In open fields, plant nurseries grow shrubs, herbaceous perennials, and decorative trees. On container fields, plant nurseries grow shrubs, herbaceous plants and small trees, which are usually grown for the purpose of selling in garden centres.
Keeping Houseplants Alive
While the general rules for all plants are similar, these rules will differ slightly depending on the environment that you are going to put your plant in. Taking care of plants the correct way will ensure that they live their lives to the fullest.
Choose the Correct Pot
Water drainage is extremely crucial for your plant. Ideally, the pot you put your plants in should have a hole in the bottom in order for excess water to drain out of the soil and c accumulate in the tray underneath the pot.
Plants Need Space to Grow
Plants need space to grow properly. If their roots run out of space to stretch out, the plant will become top-heavy, and the roots would not be able to support the amount for foliage on your plant. This might result in your plant withering and eventually die.
Use Good Soil
Soil is another crucial aspect if you want to take good care of your plants. You need to think about what type of potting soil to use if you plan to report your plant from the container it came with to another pot. Scooping out the soil from your garden isn’t enough. Instead, you should purchase a new bag of potting soil. Depending on what type of potting soil you buy, these soil contain the necessary nutrients and fertilisers that will help your plants stay healthy, strong, and most importantly, alive.
Watering Your Plants
Believe it or not, more water does not necessarily mean it’s better for your plants. If you water them too regularly or too much, they can wilt and die.
Watering plants is tricky, giving the right amount of water to your plants isn’t as easy as it seems. Your plants can either drown in too much water or suffer and die from too little water. To determine whether or not your plants need water, feel the soil that is nearer to the edge of the pot. If the dirt feels crumbly and dry, it’s time to water your plants. If the soil still feels damp, the time to water has not come just yet.
Expose Your Plants to Light
No matter if it’s natural sunlight or artificial light, as long as there is light, your plant can photosynthesise and feed themselves. However, it’s still recommended that your plants get natural sunlight once in a while as they still need the sun to thrive. Put your plants near the window, and not hide them in a dark corner with minimal light coming in.
Conclusion
Plant nurseries are a great place to get plants for your garden, both physical and online stores. With online plant nurseries, you do have to be extra careful when choosing your plants and do beware of deals that seem too good to be true. Finding the perfect plant is never easy, but if you keep searching, eventually you will chance upon your dream plant.
