Houseplants in Canada

Updated 4 November 2026

In Canada a small houseplant in a 4-inch pot costs about CA$4 to CA$21, a plant in a 6-inch pot about CA$30 to CA$45, and a large ficus or olive tree about CA$64 to CA$119. Prices depend on the plant, the pot size and whether the pot and soil are included. The quickest way to get current offers for your plant and city is to describe what you need in a BlaBlaPrice request.

Importing plants from abroad

Plants for planting that enter Canada need a phytosanitary certificate, and some need an import permit, according to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency's requirements. These rules come from the federal Plant Protection Regulations. If a seller ships from outside Canada, ask for the certificate before you pay, and do not buy a plant that cannot be legally brought in.

Winter care and light

Winter in Canada runs from December to February, with short days, so light is the main thing to plan for when you buy in November. Care guides written for Canadian homes cover watering, light, humidity and winter care. Ask the seller which light the plant needs, and choose a spot near a window before it arrives.

Pot size, units and delivery

Canadian listings give pot size in inches, such as 4-inch or 6-inch, and plant height in centimetres, so ask for both. Sellers offer a single plant or a set, and some include planters and soil. Ask how the plant is packed for delivery between Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary and Ottawa, and whether repotting is included.

What to write in your request

Give the plant type, the size, the pot and the number of plants. Add whether you want repotting, your delivery city and your budget in CA$. If you want an easy-care plant for a dim room, say so, and the seller can suggest a suitable one.

On BlaBlaPrice, buying is free. Describe the plant in your own words in the chat and add a photo if you have one. The AI asks for missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Canada, and shows the prices and businesses it finds. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own offer, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide with whom to exchange them. You can also send the request link to local sellers yourself. For related items see Home and garden or Home decor, or create a request.
