      The croton's....if you over water them by a drop....they will 🪦. I finally gave them a try for the 3rd time. So far, so good and they love bright light.

    For the store alarms, check your purse and clothes for security tags! The ones they put in purses are just tiny plastic rectangles like an inch or two long and they hide them in the pockets. I was setting off alarms too and it was a security tag in my new purse!

    Hi Harli, I do love to plant shop at my big box stores because they do get some really cool plants, and I agree with you, I love boston ferns, but I kill them too, and the china doll I also love but those also die on me. Oh I really like that Diffenbachia Reflector and those leaves look so cool. Oh one of my favorites are the purple passion, i have one but have been looking for another one to add to this one and make it fuller. I also really like Crotons and had one of those golden ones and another one that had beautiful colors and a third one with great colors and they all died, the golden one was with me for over a year then it started to die and got some spider mites. I wish I could figure out what I was doing wrong and if I could get another one and keep it alive. Thanks for a really fun video Harli, I hope that you have a beautiful day, sending love and hugs, bye! 🤗💜💜

    This past fall I managed to snag a Baltic Blue at my local Lowes for $1.50 from the clearance rack. The poor thing was in such a sad state I almost passed. I'm glad I didn't because it bounced right back after I got it home and in a new pot. It seems they're a bit dramatic when they get dry in my experience. Sometimes I'll walk by and the thing looks like it's about to give up on life and a good soaking brings it right back.
    In January I gave it a hair cut and wrapped and pinned some of the vines. I got 15 cuttings that all took root in water that I transferred to soil about 2 weeks ago, so far 9 have pushed new growth and the roots are already pushing out of the drainage holes in the bottom of the 5" nursery pot I put them in. On the mother plant several nodes that were pinned have started rooting and there's new growth popping up all over the place which is really filling the plant out.

    Sorry, I have to repeat what already is in a comment below. It is a Panther, not a Reflector.
    Reflector is more expensive, usually about $35 on Etsy. BUT there was a chance to get it for $6.99.
    About a month ago Smith's grocery had a new line of plants called "Select HP Collection", and for a first introductory week a nice tropical plant in the nice ceramic cover pot was just $6.99, I don't know what they wanted as a regular price because everything was sold right away. There were many Reflector plants.
    Smith's is just a local name for KROGER in Utah.
    I can not tell you is a marketplace or regular Smith's getting better assortment but I have found many collectible plants there.
    Happy grocery shopping to all of us.

    That one without an ID, I'm pretty sure it's a variety of Aeschynanthus (or possibly a Nematanthus, they can look similar). Maybe Aeschynanthus radicans? That would make sense since it was next to the Codonanthe as well, they are both in Gesneriaceae. My favorite family because they have beautiful flowers indoors, even here in Salt Lake where I am!

Also about the croton: I don't know why mine is doing well but it is. I don't know much about them. I have it in a pot without drainage because I think they want a lot of moisture. It does well under a grow light or at an east facing window (at least mine has done well in both locations)

    I got a golden croton in a half dead arrangement planter from Lowe's in the fall that I took apart to save and prop as my winter project. My sister was like "Croton's are cursed they always die!" I put this kid in plant ICU in by sunniest window in a plastic planter with the "Don't look at him, don't move him, and only do a half turn when watering." Like I don't even carry this plant to water him he just has a matching saucer under. Being in the plastic planter made it super easy to figure him out. For the first month I lifted it every time I walked past to feed the cat I'd check the pot to see if it was light. I found it needed water every four days and I also looked at it every time I was cleaning up the kitchen at night cause the moment you see a leaf lightly droop water that kid. It's like a Ficus don't mess with him and he's happy and just know he's one of those problem child plants that you gotta keep in your line of vision of daily tasks. This kid was a stick with two leaves and now he's sipping on Liquiddirt like he's on a counter top cruise ship...

    I love my aralia balfouriana variegata. It’s a great plant and cheap. Easy to grow and grows fast.
