    It’s really funny when you announce that you won’t be picking up any plants today, just there to get some sphagnum moss. Then the opposite happens. That was really funny 😀

    Thank you for taking us shopping with you! Since my daughter moved from Washington to Idaho I shop alone, so it's fun to feel like I have a shopping partner lol. Im definitely jealous of your big box stores... the ones here don't have much. 😊

      of course! I love to see what's available and showing the plants. I just need to stop buying them lol. We do have a great selection here so very lucky!

    What i love about this type of videos is that I learn more about plant names and how they are potted and prices.
    I love how lush houseplants are being sold in there compared here in our country. Appreciated..

    A friend of mine just had to throw away a Sodiroi that had mosaic virus but was sold as variegated, and now I think everything that you don't usually see a variegated form of has mosaic virus 😂 really hope that that isn't the case for your Orbifolia and that it is just a unicorn of a plant! 💚🦄

    The variegation looks a little strange, keep it away from the other plants in case it's mosaic. But then again I'm no expert. Really hope you got lucky with a variegated one!!

    I got my standard peace lily for $12 at Walmart and a lady told me they were going to have to throw it away by the end of the week if no one bought it. Nothing wrong with it and it has been my most rewarding plant! It has tripled in size since I bought it at the end of February!! Now I need to be on the lookout for a platinum mist peace lily cause that is just gorgeous

    My heart broke when you left that calathea Freddie 💔 😆 I think I commented before already, but I lost a lot of my prayer plants to thrips. Before I had 8, now I only have 4. Today is my birthday, so I hope they arrive today-instead of just replacing the ones I lost, I decided to get some extra. After the package arrives I think I’ll have…12 prayer plants? 13? Maranta, calathea/goeppertia, and ctenanthe.
    Thank you for taking us along on this journey! I hope you find your string of dolphins! 💐

    The elephant ears is a Colocasia black beauty! The smaller leaves are green but the more mature ones turn black if they have the right light exposure. I love my Colocasias collection they like to be always humid so I put them in a self watering pot in a chunky mix and they thrive!

    They are all beautiful plants!! I always get sidetracked by the plants too when at big box stores!!
    Be careful with the spathiphyllum because I've heard it's very toxic to pets. I have a friend who cuts the "flowers" off because even the pollen from it is toxic.
    It's worth checking into.

    It's so funny how these stores very from region to region. My stores don't have half this inventory. I haven't really seen anything "new" in months, sadly. I did just get my import certificate so I'll be checking that out soon!

    • @plantsbymelissa

    I like the Zebra plant, because the pattern matches very good with the pot. 😁 I think the Orbifolia could have a mosaic virus too. So please be careful and sterilize if you cut something off from her and use the scissors for another plant.

    Looking back on this video and I noticed a couple of times that you mentioned Njoy/Pearls & Jade. Are they the same plant? I thought they were 2 different types of pothos. Building my pothos collection so I want to verify before I buy both. :)

    That's so weird to me that plants come together with ceramic pots, baskets etc. What if I don't like the pot they come in?! :D In Poland, Europe plants come in nursery pots only and then you buy ceramic pots separately, there's a wide selection

    Bromliad and syngonium are not a good mix!! Syngonium are thirstier plants while bromliads can go longer without water. They really shid research before potting together. On plus side, u cud repot separately an have 2 plants!

    The planters at Lowe’s are cute, but I’m tired of the fact they think we care more about them than the plants. Cute little tags about Living Trends, but nothing at all about the plants and their care. The Lowes and Home Depots nearest my home in San Antonio do not have anywhere near that many plants. I’m envious!
