plant/flower markets
Around Taiwan, it (tillandsia) is mainly seen in plant markets, advertised as an easy plant to care for, though it is often quite expensive.
Hi,
Here we often say "flower markets," so I wonder if it amounts to "plant markets" to you. Thanks.

In the UK we would say "nurseries" or "garden centres" for permanent establishments that sell plants to the general public. A "plant market" would be a temporary arrangement held, say, weekly, with many different stallholders present. A "flower market" would be a similar arrangement, but purely for flowers (usually cut).
