My favorite plant store in town! The owner is so knowledgeable and kind and the store is always immaculate with a wide variety of plants in great condition. I have purchased from Plantify several times and will continue doing so! Even though I love going to their store because of the ambiance, I absolutely love that they offer in-town home delivery. I can order off their very easy-to-use website and get my plants same day in many cases- the delivery service has been a godsend during the pandemic! I have gotten some rare/hard to find plants from here, and they are always in great health- you can tell the owner knows what he’s doing. They also have a nice selection of pots, including some locally made! I love that they are supporting local artists by giving them a venue to display their goods💕💕 I cannot recommend this store enough to my fellow plant lovers!
The selection of plants is amazing. The customer service was poor. I asked the owners if they had variegated string of hearts similar to size of the other string of hearts and he said “larger size is very expensive. His comment implied that I couldn’t afford to purchase an expensive plant. Also while standing in line seeking assistance regarding planters, he looked directly at me and didn’t say anything. I stood there while they acknowledged other customers around me. I finally asked for help and was given help at that time. When it was my turn to check out, he said “if you don’t mind sliding over I can check out another customer,” because his partner was planting my plants. The people behind me were clearly still looking around and talking amongst themselves. It was very rude and passive aggressive / micro aggressive. As a black medical student, I didn’t appreciate his lack of good quality customer service and implicit biases related to my income. I definitely won’t be shopping there again. I’m only here temporarily so it doesn’t matter, but anytime someone spends $65+ on two plants you definitely want to be treated with respect while shopping.
For background, Im a plant enthusiast and have over 25 plants in my home. I take pride in caring for our plant babies. I didnt have great luck with my first purchase but the owners are incredibly helpful.Pros: owner was incredibly nice and answered my questions. I ordered two plants for pick up and the owner let me pick out which plants I wanted.Con: my rik rak didnt do too well when it got home. The owner issued a refund after I sent a picture. Hoping it will make a full recovery but appreciate their customer service.
If you’re debating getting a plant, stop debating and go get some from here. This store is just as gorgeous as their photos on Instagram and their website. The plants are stunning and the shop is SO welcoming and organized. The owner is even nicer and clearly knows his stuff. He was ready to help a novice or a plant expert. I ordered through the website and went in for pickup and the owner went above and beyond to help me. Two of the plants I chose he said were on he small side so he gave me two for one (I thought the size was perfect for the price already so talk about above and beyond customer service). I also wanted a suggestion for a hard to kill plant for my husbands office and the one he suggested was already hung up in a beautiful display and he took it apart so I could have that specific one. I will definitely be back soon and recommend you go find a new leafy friend here.
This is one of my new favorite stores in CU. As soon as you step through the door, you get all the happy feels.I brought home a fiddle leaf and pothos, both are thriving and healthy.The staff is very knowledgeable, the store is stunning, and the selection of houseplants is amazing. Could not recommend it enough!
Highly recommended! I traveled to Champaign for a meet up with family and stopped here for a plant for my sister. Beautiful, healthy plants, fabulous selection and impeccable service. The shop is clean, bright and airy with a positive energy. I purchased two medium sized succulent plants with matching pots. The shop packaged them for me so nicely! If I lived in Champaign I would buy all of my plants here. I hope others will support this business. Thank you, plantify, my sister loved the gift. I wish I had bought a matching set myself!
Very few plant shops will repot your plant for free, and hand mix the soil right in front of you. The owner will even show you the root system of the plant while repotting and explain care. The best part is the wide array of affordable and decorative planters the shop carries in addition to its diverse and healthy plant selection. I will always recommend this business!
Plantify is a breath of fresh air in the plant scene in the Urbana Champaign area. The owner and his family are very nice people and genuinely interested in the hobby. The friendliness puts every other plant store way below in rating. People come to buy plants because plants make people happy. When you go to this store, see the beautiful plants and interact with the people, you feel happy. That’s a win win in my book!

2022-04-26Excellent customer service! I sent an email of what was needed for a staff appreciation gift, Long responded within 5 minutes and met all of my requests. Even with short notice for a large order he was quick to put everything together and was very knowledgeable about the plants, costs, and turnaround time. Will definitely utilize Plantify in the future and 100% recommend to anyone!

2022-05-22These guys are excellent! Good variety of plants, knowledgeable team members, aesthetic shop, and great customer service! If they had hangout space, Id visit more often just to chill in all that natural light. But I guess thats what the Champaign public library is for.

2020-10-04I have bought two plants so far from Plantify , which I dearly love & have turned out Wonderful.They are very special people, taking pride in plants, and help new plant owners understand how to care for their new plant. Interesting side note* if you are to buy plants from this beautiful place, they will repot the plant you bought from them Free of Charge. They also offer a variety of pots to choose from at reasonable prices & there plants are reasonably priced as well.

2021-12-29I bought a number of plants almost a year ago, and they have thrived. Longs guidance was very helpful, as I was new to houseplants at the time. The prices are great too, especially for the quality of plants you get. My favorite store!

2022-02-07This place is wonderful. It’s an aesthetically pleasing shop with a great selection of plants and pots. They also sell some other item which are really neat and great for gifts. I’ve bought many plants from here and they are always healthy. They have a nice selection of pots for the same prices you can find online too!
