Exotic and rare plants

In the Exotic and Rare Plants category at Deco Garden, you will find species that are hard — and sometimes impossible — to find in standard nurseries in Israel. The plants arrive directly from certified suppliers in the Netherlands, the country that has led the global plant industry for decades.

Some of the plants in this category are rare tropicals — aroids, philodendrons, alocasias, and monsteras in varieties not seen on the local market. Others are non-tropical but are unique and extraordinary in their form, color, or rarity.

The inventory is limited and rotates — each shipment from the Netherlands brings a series of new species, and sold-out items do not always return. If you see something you like, don't wait.

A plant that has been imported from a distance needs a short acclimatization period. During the first week or two:

• Place it in a well-lit spot, but avoid direct sunlight
• Avoid overwatering — the soil should dry out slightly between waterings
• Do not fertilize in the first few weeks — let the roots settle
  

Specific care instructions are attached to every product in this category — be sure to read them before the first watering.

Deco Garden is the most affordable online nursery in Israel — and this holds true for exotic plants as well. We don't add unnecessary middlemen: the plant travels from the grower in the Netherlands to your shipping box, without an expensive physical storefront in between.

Our inventory of exotic plants is updated with every new arrival. Follow us on social media to be the first to know what's arrived.

A tropical plant is one that originates from rainforests and humid areas near the equator — alocasias, philodendrons, monsteras, etc. "Exotic plant" is a broader term: any plant that is unconventional, rare, or not common on the local market. You will find both in our category.

Yes. The plants come from certified suppliers with decades of experience in international shipping, and they undergo an acceptance check by us before being shipped to the customer. A short period of acclimatization at home is natural and expected.

Some are, some are better suited for those with a bit of experience. On each product page, you will find an indication of the difficulty level. Those with basic experience with houseplants will do just fine with most plants in this category.

Of course! Contact us via WhatsApp or phone with the plant name, and we'll be happy to help you with the growing process!

The plants arrive in plastic nursery pots. If you want to upgrade to a decorative pot — we have a large selection of pots and planters in the shop that you can add to your order. We recommend leaving the plant in its nursery pot for at least the initial stages, because it is designed exactly for that: plant preservation, drainage, and optimal soil aeration.

So how do you combine it with a beautiful planter? Simple — place the pot as is inside the planter. No need to replant, no need to touch the roots. And if tomorrow you want a planter with a different design — you take it out, put it into a new one, done.

Choose a planter whose opening is 1-2 cm larger than the diameter of the nursery pot, and when the shipment arrives, simply place the plant with its nursery pot inside your new planter.
