The Best Plants You Can Order Online

Cut flowers are synonymous with Mother’s Day but they don’t last as long as a live plant — and live plants are especially trendy right now with many self-proclaimed “plant moms” out there. While many moms would love to receive a potted plant they can enjoy for months or even years, figuring out where to order live plants online can be tricky.
