What Do Our Residential Interior Plant Services Include?


Our services cover every stage of your project, from the first visit to ongoing care. A dedicated designer assesses your space and lighting and builds a custom plant plan; our technicians then handle installation and recurring maintenance.

Here is how the process works:

  1. Free on-site consultation to assess space, light, and design preferences.
  2. Custom design proposal with species matched to your rooms.
  3. Professional installation of plants, containers, and decorative elements.
  4. Scheduled maintenance visits for watering, pruning, and health checks.
  5. Quick plant replacement from our greenhouse stock of 10,000+ exotic plants.

Why Do Chicago Homes and Apartments Need a Specialized Approach?


Chicago's urban residential spaces present real challenges for indoor plants. North-facing windows along Lake Shore Drive and River North limit light, while dry HVAC air in high-rises stresses humidity-loving tropicals. Older buildings in Wicker Park and Logan Square add dry, radiator-heated winters. We select shade-acclimated, low-humidity species and set maintenance schedules accordingly.

Recommended Plants for Chicago Residential Spaces

Low-light performers such as pothos, ZZ plants, snake plants, and Chinese evergreens thrive in indirect light, while peace lilies and dracaenas tolerate dry high-rise air. Fiddle-leaf figs and birds of paradise suit brighter, south- or east-facing spaces.

Ongoing Maintenance and Subscription Care Options

Our subscription maintenance program covers watering, fertilizing, pruning, and plant health checks on a schedule that suits you. Any declining plant is quickly replaced from our own greenhouses, a hands-free approach popular with busy Chicago residents and condo owners.
