Houseplants

We have greatly expanded our selection of houseplants for this season—we have dozens of different kinds of houseplants, each of which is guaranteed to add warmth and tranquility to your home. If you’re looking to add some natural beauty to your home’s interior, Brady’s West is definitely your destination for all things green. We have small and large houseplants as well as those in hanging baskets. We also carry a large variety of pottery and potting soils for potting your new houseplants. We will even pot your house plant with a purchase of pot and plant! Keep in mind that the overall size of your houseplant is impacted greatly by the size of the pot in which it is planted. So, even though a houseplant has the potential to reach, say, 10’ tall, if planted in a smaller pot, it will not reach this height.
