In Stardew Valley, you can obtain Decorative Plants by purchasing them from Robin, Sandy, Pierre, or the Traveling Cart. You also have the chance to win one as a reward in the Crane Game at the Theater. Alternatively, you can get the Furniture Catalogue, which grants you Decorative Plants at no cost.

The Furniture Catalogue costs 200,000g and is not an early-game item.

Different Types of Decorative Plants

Stardew Valley has four types of Decorative Plants: House, Seasonal, Freestanding, and Hanging. While Seasonal Plants undergo visual changes corresponding to the in-game season, the other three variants maintain a consistent appearance throughout the year.

It’s worth mentioning that you have the flexibility to place all Decorative Plant types outdoors, except for the Hanging variant, which must be indoors.

Decorative Plants in Stardew Valley don’t necessitate watering. However, if they are of the seasonal variety, you may lose them during specific seasons, particularly in Fall and Winter.

House Plants aside, the best decorative options are Small Plants, Manicured Pines, Indoor Hanging Baskets, and L. Light Strings. If you have enough resources to play the Crane Game multiple times, the Exotic Tree is also an excellent ornament to target. But if you’re looking for the cheapest option, use Grass. The good thing about Grass is that it can decorate both indoor and outdoor areas in warm seasons, giving them a unique rustic theme.

Tips for Decorating Your House with Plants

For a lovelier decoration, consider these tips:

  • Place tall plants in front of windows. The light will pass through the plants, creating a dreamy look.
  • Add plants as partitions. If you need separate areas in a room, split it with baskets and trees.
  • Install a Torch behind Decorative Plants. This will light them up at night without cluttering the aesthetics.
  • Use Decorative Plants on your farm. Add some cozy furniture and adorn it with plants for a unique farmhouse look.
