Plants are all the rage these days, so we’re going to share with you one of our favorite places to shop for them. In Chinatown, Rainbow is easily one of the best plant stores in LA, whether you’re in the market for indoor varieties like succulents or ready-to-plant fruit trees for your outside garden. The selection is impressive, the prices are incredible, and the service is second-to-none. You’ll never want to buy plants from anywhere else!
Los Angeles boasts one of the largest Chinatown districts in the country, with shops, restaurants, street vendors, and a rich heritage that locals and tourists alike have enjoyed and respected for decades.
Walking these streets is a delight for your senses, as you smell the delicious aromas of authentic Asian cuisine, see all sorts of unique, handmade items for sale, and hear shoppers chatting excitedly about their purchases.
If you consider yourself a plant aficionado, definitely make plans to stop by Rainbow next time you visit Chinatown.
Located in the historic Dynasty Center, this mom-and-pop plant and home décor shop has been going strong since 1994, and it's just as popular today as it was nearly 30 years ago.

Both inside and out, you'll be up to your ears in plants of all different varieties.
Luckily, Rainbow offers almost as much décor - both for plants and the home in general - as actual plants. Additionally, they even sell clothing and other items!
The inventory is impressive, and the service goes above and beyond.
The shop owners will tell you exactly how to keep your plants not just healthy but thriving - they're even known to help revive customers' plants that have seen better days.

Between the plants, pots, and upkeep supplies and materials, building your indoor or outdoor garden can rack up quite a hefty price tag - but not at Rainbow.
Visitors rave about the shop's affordability almost as much as the quality and quantity of the selection. You'll only have to worry about finding a place for all your new plants!
Visit the shop’s website or Facebook page for information, including current business hours.
