How much does [short-term] indoor plant hire cost?

Short term event plant hire

Short-term indoor plant hire cost can be tricky to pin down—but we’re here to make it simple.

Whether you’re styling a property for sale, planning a conference or exhibition, or setting up a wedding venue, hiring indoor plants can completely transform a space—fast. Plants bring instant atmosphere, soften hard edges, and add a sense of freshness and life that’s hard to match.

But how much will it cost to get that look, especially for a short-term or one-off event?

The short answer: from $650 for a basic setup 

At Advance Plants, our short-term indoor plant hire starts from $650. That base package typically includes:

  • 6 x 1.5m plants in decorator pots

  • Delivery and collection within a 5km radius of Brisbane’s CBD (on weekdays)

  • Professional installation and styling by our team

This starting price is designed for smaller activations or intimate events. For larger spaces, complex designs, or more premium requirements (like green walls or specific plant types), we’ll provide a customised quote to suit.

What’s included in that cost?

Unlike buying a few random plants from the hardware store, short-term plant hire is a full-service offering. You’re not just paying for the plants—you’re paying for:

  • Expert design advice based on your space and event needs

  • Flexible delivery and collection—we’ll work around your bump-in/bump-out times

  • Professionally maintained, camera-ready plants in clean, modern pots

  • Peace of mind—we handle everything from setup to pack down

Why choose short-term plant hire?

When you hire plants for an event or temporary installation, you want them to look perfect—no yellowing leaves, no leaning pots, no dry soil. Our plants are maintained by professional horticulturists year-round, so what you get is always lush, healthy, and styled to suit.

Plus, we’re locals. As a family-owned, Great Place to Work certified team, we pride ourselves on being reliable, friendly and flexible—which means fewer things for you to worry about during your event or staging.

So, what’s next?

If you’re planning something on the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast or in Brisbane, we’d love to help. You can browse our catalogue, or get in touch for a tailored quote based on your location, timeline and event size.

Need it quick? No problem—we’re used to working to tight turnarounds.
