Big Plants Chicago - Chicago, Illinois

Over the past few years, I've purchased around 8 large plants from the Succulent City, both for myself and as gifts! They were all extremely healthy and I received wonderful care instructions upon delivery or pick up. These are the most reasonable prices I've found in the city, and the owner makes the purchasing experience super easy. We tell everyone about this place and could not recommend it more!

Highly recommend Succulent City!

The owner, Marcus, is so knowledgable about all things plant related. You can tell from talking to him that he is passionate about his business and plants.

He is super communicative and quick to respond to any and all questions. He took the time to send me videos and extra info on plants I was interested in, the entire process was so easy end to end.

Marcus/Succulent City just delivered a beautiful pothos and snake plant and spent extra time giving me tips (useful tips that even a newbie could understand).

My photo skills aren't the best but these plants are both beautiful. You can get nervous buying something online, esp plants, but these are healthy and happy - hopefully I can keep them that way!

This shop was sooooo awesome!!! The owner was super friendly as well & immediately helped me up with my stroller. He also taught my son cool facts about cacti as I blacked out in the succulent section 🙂‍↕️🌵 That was very nice.

The plants were so beautiful & healthy. Such an awesome variety & so many rare wishlist plants in store also. I had to stop looking before I spent $100 on plants when I only went for one 😂

I can’t wait to go back. Thank you!!! 💕

Great little plant store, always something different and worth stopping in regularly! The owner is very knowledgeable and excellent about finding something for you if you are looking for something specific. Great place to get your medium to large plant too--FARRRRR better quality than box stores!!! We also got our first Monstera Albo cutting here back at the height of the market when you couldn't find them anywhere--she's thriving!

I have purchased several large plants and a few smaller ones here - they are thriving! They were all extremely healthy and I received wonderful care and watering advice when taking delivery or picking up. I get constant compliments from guests and visitors and the purchasing process couldn’t have been easier. The owner is knowledgeable, kind, and always willing to answer questions. This is a GREAT spot to grab a new plant, big or small!

I first purchased a succulent in 2019 from Marcus, in a backyard pop up plant sale, and have been a customer ever since! It’s been such a pleasure to watch his business expand over the last few years, but his customer service, care, and expertise has not wavered as he’s grown.

I’m always so thankful for the conversations Marcus takes the time to have at each plant pickup to make sure I have all the care info needed, and truly, his prices are the best I’ve seen around Chicago!

My house is scattered with plants from The Succulent City, and will continue to be filled with them for years to come. My sister is even having me scoop some plants to bring to Philadelphia with me next month for her new apartment, as she knows the quality and price is unmatched.

Thank you, Marcus!

Bought a boobie cactus online here- arranging the pickup was easy, the cactus looks great, and I got great advice on repotting it! Definitely returning for more plants in the future.
