The difference between indoor and outdoor plants is one thing businesses, landscapers, or plant retailers need to know when buying wholesale plants. Here is a practical guide to understanding the difference between the two and why they matter when you place a bulk order.
Growing Conditions and Requirements
Indoor plants are chosen to grow well in artificial environments such as constant temperatures, indirect sun, and low humidity. For example, pothos, snake plant or peace lily. They are made to withstand the toughest conditions in any home, office or commercial space.
On the other hand, outdoor plants are selected for their hardiness to survive seasonal changes of temperature and light exposures from direct sunlight and wind or variable temperatures. This consists of shrubs, trees, bedding plants and perennials used in the gardening area of a shop or for plant landscaping on outdoor areas such as gardens, patios and fenced yards.

Appearance and Function
People usually favour indoor plants for their aesthetic attributes such as having voluminous greenery, small sizes etc. and some even offer clean air properties too. They are also ideal for desks, lobbies and other indoor spaces where a touch of green is desired. Most are also low-care, needing just sporadic waterings and indirect sunlight.
Outdoor plants are important as they add beauty to your garden and also serve other purposes. Trees provide many functions outdoors, such as privacy, shade and defining a space or they deliver seasonal colour or edible fruit. Outdoor plants tend to be larger so they need more room in order for them to flourish.
Packaging and Delivery
Wholesale indoor plants are usually shipped in somewhat smaller pots and safe packaging to prevent damage during transportation. Outdoor plants can be pot grown in bigger containers or for larger trees and shrubs they may need to be dug bare root and can handle more aggressive handling.
Care and Maintenance
Most indoor plants require a schedule of regular watering, but not too often and some feeding here and there (some pests are unique to the environment found in houses). If grown outdoors, plants may require more attention seasonally like mulching, pruning and weather protecting so obviously choose what is best for you.
Choosing What’s Right for You
Think about the use. Make sure that when ordering wholesale, your end use is considered. When it comes to offices, retail spaces, or homes, most often indoor plants are the top choice. Outdoor varieties would be equally impactful and much hardier for landscaping, public spaces or garden centres.
Understanding the difference between indoor and outdoor wholesale plants helps you choose wisely so your green investments succeed – no matter where they are planted.
