Our Promise

We promise to deliver exceptional plants, sourced worldwide, with tailored solutions and expert guidance for both individual plant enthusiasts and businesses seeking to create vibrant environments

Our Story

My journey with plants began with a modest collection of succulents and cacti, a passion somewhat constrained by limited space. The limited options available sparked an idea: to create Root Houseplants, a haven for plant lovers like myself. I envisioned a shop offering an exhaustive range of plants, coupled with a service that fostered plant education and a welcoming space for everyone.

In 2017, we took our first step, launching Root online. By April 2018, we were bringing our passion to the community with our first market stall. Since then, we’ve been privileged to deliver over 10,000 online orders and establish two thriving brick-and-mortar stores in Liverpool and West Kirby. But we didn't stop there. We've also branched out, providing bespoke plant solutions to commercial venues across the UK, including stylish restaurants and productive office spaces. I'm incredibly proud of the recognition our family-run business has received, including features in The Times, The Spruce, Ideal Home, Living Etc, and Liverpool John Moores University.

More than anything, I feel privileged to run a business that seamlessly blends my passion and knowledge for plants. The heartfelt testimonials from our happy customers are the true measure of our success, making every step of this journey worthwhile. Root Houseplants is more than just a shop; it's a community built on a shared love for all things green.

Meet the team

Lisa

Lisa

Lisa is the owner of Root Houseplants; she loves plants and pups. Lisa loves Aroids and Hoya; if she had to pick some favourites it would be her Philodendron 'Florida Ghost' and Hoya curtisii. When she's not in the shop she'll most likely be at home with her sausage dog Bubs, or watching cooking shows in her pyjamas!

Hannah

Hannah

Hannah started off as a customer at Root, she talked with Lisa about her plants, her favourites and those she wished to own. Her love of plants and her enthusiasm shone through. When there was an opportunity to employ a new staff member, Lisa knew Hannah would be perfect for the role.

Jonny

Jonny

Jonny has worked at Root since May 2023. His love for plants was inherited initially from his grandparents and parents, but really took off once he moved into his own place, where he started picking up small plants and was fascinated by watching how they grow and change over time.

Here's some of our customer reviews....

I have shopped in person before and love the atmosphere of the shop. Recently I ordered online and had a small issue with the order. I must say customer service (spoke to Chris) has been excellent. Quick, friendly responses and I received an amended order in under a week on a day that worked around me. Would definitely recommend and shop here again as I can see how high the standards are and how much Root values customer service and satisfaction. Thank you very much! I’m very happy with my plants 🌿

Visited Liverpool in June and found Roots! Bought a satin pothos which has grown drastically and still a healthy, happy plant. The person who served me was very knowledgeable and gave the best care pictures. 100% recommend for all plant lovers, just waiting for more plants to come in stock online and order all the way from the northeast. Thank you!

We recently hosted a plant potting workshop with Root Houseplants as part of a resident event, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The plants were freshly delivered, in excellent condition, and beautifully presented — our residents absolutely loved it! Chris was incredibly responsive and easy to work with throughout the whole process. Highly recommend Root Houseplants for anyone looking for quality plants.

I have always experienced the greatest quality plants at fantastic prices, many of which are hard to find rare plants! The service really is the best, from receiving plant care emails on the specific plants that I have purchased to my absolute delight on opening the securely packaged treasures a few days later, to the exceptional customer service I have received especially from Chris who I was in contact with recently. I am so happy to recommend Root Houseplants to anyone who wants the strongest and healthiest plants together with details on how to care for them.
