Where Can I Buy Rare Houseplants Online?

In general there are many small and big rare plant shops with stores on Ebay and Etsy as well as individual sellers, so keep an eye on there. I would head there as a first port of call to find rare houseplants for sale.

Tip: If buying from Etsy use the local filters to buy from your region or country, plants do not like to travel too much!
