Exotic plants are usually inaccessible or extremely difficult to procure. What further complicates the business of exotic plants is the handful clientele most of whom may not be very well versed with the management needs of these exotic plants.

The exotic plants featured on the website include Heteropanax-Multihead, Camellia, Cycas Multi, Ficus, Multiroot, Nolina, Maple, Loropetalum, Adenium, Zamioculcas among others. They range from anything between 1000 to Rs. 35,000 and have a niche client base.

The website www.gardenesia.com , offers everything a plant lover looks for, from flowering bulbs imported directly from Holland, to Bonsai trees and lucky bamboo grown locally at Gardenesia's nurseries.

Also, the website has most versatile online seed store in India, featuring all manner of local, imported and rare seeds.

Websites like Gardenesia are doing booming business of buyers, who prefer to circumvent issues of long transport and compromise over quality. "It's not easy to exotic plants online and if one does, most people do not have any idea about what the plant is about and what kind of climate customers who have a green thumb and an eye for beauty. It saves them the hassle of commuting and our products are of good quality," said Sandeep Chaudhary, Founder, Gardenesia.

The exotic plants business is usually confined to big corporate, sample flats of real estate developers, hotels and homes of the rich and famous. We plan to break that barrier by delivering these plants to the doorstep of our customers and provide them quality services.

We take special care in not only procuring these plants but also their travel over long or short distances. Our customers are at the liberty of examining the plant delivered to them and then making a full payment only after they are satisfied, "added Chaudhary.

The exotic plants featured on the website include Heteropanax -Multihead , Camellia, Cycas Multi, Ficus Multiroot, Nolina,Maple, Loropetalum, Adenium, Zamioculcas among others.

This is equally applicable on nurseries which sell these plants as they are more keen on big bucks rather than sustaining a long term relationship with their client. The website also offers gardening tools, pots and planters.
