Yeah! Every now and then I find something good but no one seems to take care of them!

@@spacecaseandherplants Timing there is everything. I bought this most beautiful little dieffenbachia there for only $4. It's soil was super dry, but it's leaves still vibrant. Loved it so much, I went back to rescue another, 4 days later. It had not been watered, so was pretty beat up, but for $4, gave it a whirl. It's been a couple of weeks now, plant #1 is doing great, but the most recent rescue is on its last leaf, despite the same level of care. ☹️🌱 But I won't bin it until it's totally dead.

@@laurieparis2203 oh yeah you have to go all the time because you never know what you'll find on any given day! I found a raven zz the other day for $8!

@@spacecaseandherplants WOW! I've been wanting one, saw a nice one at Lowe's literally yesterday, but it was $20, so it stayed there! Hope they will be coming here. I'm in Walmart at least once a week for groceries. Some days the plant corner cries louder than others! 😊

The Walmart that I live closest to overwatered so badly

Yeah! I could not believe how puny the plant was when I opened it!

Even if the grower split the basket, half Cebu & half green $15 is easier to take than $89.

Agree! Now that I have discovered other retailers I realize how over priced they are!

I agree but I do like Amanda's RU-vid videos but her plant prices are unbelievable. The Large Cebu Blue is $150 on her website 😬😬😬

To be fair, you could've gotten that plant for less than half that price if you hadn't gotten the white pot! I've bought a few times from Planterina, but I ONLY shop sales and bundles! Also, Planterina has no middle man, that's why their prices are what they are!! I watch her videos and she states it in many of her videos! I would def ONLY shop sales!!

Planterina was very affordable when they first opened. They've gotten quite a bit more expensive especially during mid and late 2020. The quality is still there though. Definitely worth shopping sales and only grow pots. Adding the pottery really brings the price up

Oh noo! I purchased a scindapsus pictus exotica from them and found a hanging basket at the grocery store in the same week! Couldn't believe it happened to me again lol. I didn't even know they would do refunds! The last order I got was extremely messed up as well. Thank you so much for watching!

Definitely a plant that deserves to stop you in your tracks!

@@spacecaseandherplants honestly? I think I would've tackled someone if they had so much as reached out to touch it before I got there..... but don't tell anyone. 🤫😂😂😂😂

Those coupon deals they send out are always so tempting! Especially when it's free plant with purchase. Unfortunately, I haven't had the best experience with the plants being well packaged. Thank you so much for watching!

you should from etsy! I get like 80% from random sellers and I haven't had any issues

Agree!

I haven't seen one anywhere else since either! Walmart or otherwise. You got lucky that day to find 3! Thank you so much for watching!

Whoa what a good find! Thank you so much for watching!

Thank you so much for watching!

@@spacecaseandherplants did ya one better and subbed Love this channel. Seems to just be in the infancy of its life and already pretty well done

Thank you so much!

I'm glad you were able to find one!

You're definitely not silly for going nuts over plants! Thank you so much for watching!

Thank you so much for watching!

The only trick to finding a really nice plant that a big box store is to go all the time. At least in my experience lol. You never know when they are going to get some gems in! Thank you so much for watching!

It was such a lucky find!! I hope you find one soon 🤞🤞

I always check on the off chance that I'll find another amazing plant. Thank you so much for watching!

Ahhh definitely checking for a Peru next time! I found a philodendron brandtianum there recently. It looked really bad though so I did not get it. Kinda regret it lol

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

You're not the first one that's actually pointed that out! All three were sold as Cebu Blue. I'm doing research on them! I think it's nice for watching!

The blue tint is also a light thing, higher light more blue (I think)

All 3 are cebu blue the blue tint varies by lightning it's not a blue plant. I have the same one from Walmart, mine is now 5 feet long had it for 2 yrs

Thank you for the info!!

Yeah... I was confusing when I saw this. Why the Cebu Blue not blue 😅. You right, I think those big one is Eppin Green

Yep....I was thinking the same thing

Totally agree with Sabrina. The Planterina version is the real ‘Cebu Blue’. Over the next few years if you keep all the plants you’ll see the difference very clearly.

No kids, the leaves on Cebu Blue when they are juvenile, as it ages they go green. She's still in the win column.

Thank you so much!

Yeah I've received plant with NO roots at all! It seems to be fresh cuttings that were stuck in a pot. And the pot was completely messed up when I received it. Their deals are tempting though! Thank you so much for watching!

Yeah the prices of the Cebu are all over the place!

That is a great video idea! Next time I don't mind owning 3 of the same plant I'll do it lol I did the same thing and cut some of the long vines, propogated them and potted them up. Thank you so much for watching!

If you have long vines without leaves and it's growing lots of aerial roots, it needs trellises or a moss poke to grow on. If you give it a pike ir even a wooden plant to grow up on those aerial roots will attach to it and will start to put out leaves. There are a lot of videos showing how to do this.

I never have good luck at Walmart either but I started checking the other ones near me and they all seem to stock different plants. I keep seeing people find Hoya Compacta hanging baskets but I haven't been lucky enough to find one yet. Maybe one day lol. Seems like you have to go everyday at times! Thank you so much for subscribing!

I always have to stop myself from buying plants too!

lol.. she got scammed..

I agree. The Planterina plant is a true Cebu Blue. It has the soft blue bloom on the leaves. The others are green epipremnum. They have darker green, larger leaves than a Cebu Blue.

All 3 of these were sold as Cebu blue. Thank you for letting me know. I didn't know at the time that people would sell plants as something other than what they were!

I found some great hanging baskets at Kroger! Still on the hunt for Hindu rope. Grocery stores have some hidden gems!

Check Lowes in the next week or so. Our Lowes got Hindu ropes last week

Wow! What a great find!!

Thank you for sharing!! I'll check them out!

I'm glad you had a great experience with planterina! Yeah, a few people said the same thing about the Cebu. All I know is that they were sold as Cebu blue

Thanks for the heads up! I'll check the roots asap. Thank you so much for watching!

Hahahaha! It's not that scandalous lol I don't think 😳 Thank you so much for watching!

Nice! I'm glad you found this helpful!

What a good deal!

A lesson I have learned the hard way! Thank you so much for watching!

Tell me about it! The one that I featured in the video didn't do anything for a while and suddenly it started exploding with growth. Now it grows so fast that I'm always having to cut the vines since they're always touching the floor. Wishing you luck!

@@spacecaseandherplants Did you find that it started growing during the winter months or Spring? I think mine started growing during the winter. I think it was because my house has central heating and it love showers.

That's a pretty good deal! I think if I saw another one at Walmart I would buy it too lol thank you so much for watching!

The Walmarts here never have good looking plants either so I was shocked to find a good looking cebu blue! I have purchased other plants from Planterina that I love! Thank you so much for watching!

This video is very informative. Yes, I think Pranterina's cebublue is over priced too though, it has better bluish-grey tint, compare to other two.

Hoya linearis is on my wish list! I'm so glad yours is doing well!

I just purchased a couple of plants from Steve's Leaves for the first time and they were amazing! Great plants for decent price. When plantarina does free plant with purchase it's always tempting!

@@spacecaseandherplants I was tempted of the 4 inch Calthea White Star with free Anthurium plowmanii because never seen one in my area and its a good deal because I like them both. But Im kind a bit disappointed with the Calathea because its a tiny plant compare the photo on the website🙄. Good thing my Anthurium is producing lots of babys around so it evens out😁. But I would not purchase the big expensive plants on Planterina. Too pricey🥴

I've been seeing the Cebu a little more often at Lowe's. I hope it becomes more readily available! Whoa you have 5 that's awesome!

@@spacecaseandherplants Yes, here, too. They are available occasionally but they’re in small pots. I think they’re four inch pots. And they do not look very inviting.

@spacecaseathome Please don't get me wrong. What they did is not right. Absolutely not right. (if that's what happened) I still not buy to their website anymore. I did not like what they did to you.

Wow!! I would be so excited if I saw a Hindu rope at Lowe's!

Found one Hindu rope hoya @ Lowes for $10 in a 4inch ceramic pot with 3 5" plant🤗. But nothing in my other Lowes🤔

Hahaha yeah I was wondering why I was getting all these comments all of a sudden 😅 I'm going to have to start checking out the Walmarts near me to see if I can find some good deals!

@@spacecaseandherplants I went in one tonight and no plants were marked down, even though some absolutely needed to be. I did, however, find several bottles of liquid cactus plant food, one pump bottle of all purpose liquid plant food, AND 3 bottles of SuperThrive, all clearanced for $1!!! I was stoked to get them. SuperThrive is like $12 for a small bottle. I also found the terrarium care tool kit containing a wooden handled brush, tweezer, rake and shovel for a freakin' dime!! I bought a dozen of them and left about that many behind. I'd seen them before and in my own plant care maintenance kit, I keep brushes, tweezers, and small scissors so I figured I could use these too for freakin' ten cents.

Thank you!

Awesome!

The one from Cactus Club is definitely my favorite too! It's the perfect size and I think the price was really good for it. And it grows so nicely. They seem to have it on the website regularly. Thank you so much for watching!

They always do some irresistible deals!

I really wish she would mention the pricing on her RU-vid videos 😐

I've only seen it at Walmart the one time. But I see it at Lowe's pretty regularly now. I hope you find one!

That's great!

It is so upsetting that they are mislabeling plants on purpose,most likely hybrid,we have them at my local shop ,blue gray beautiful,the last two look nothing like ones I have seen.Still they are very pretty but they should state that is a hybrid

They are the exact same plant...all are cebu blue the blue tint varies by lighting

Thank you for sharing your experience. It seems like a lot of people have a not so great time ordering form them :/ thank you so much for watching!

Walmart is very hit and miss with their plants. Being in California, It hope you get lucky! Thank you so much for watching!

Oh no! Were you able to get a refund?

A few other people have made that comment as well. I feel like it's the lighting? In my opinion all three have the silvery blue color to them

Yeah, unfortunately I didn't know that before I purchased all these plants. Lesson learned! I'm still happy to have them since they are still very pretty. A few other people have also pointed out that Planterina is the only one that sold me an actual Cebu blue! Good to know. Thank you so much for watching!

How are you able to tell???

Is planterina a one person business? They seems pretty huge to be run by just one person

@@spacecaseandherplants Yeah, I guess you are right, it is not a one person business, but it is still a small business and not in the same size category as the multi billion company that Walmart is. That's what I meant.

While I absolutely champion purchasing from small businesses, (which the gov't defines as up to 1500 employees, 🙄) if that small business practices involve taking advantage of their viewership by price gouging the hell out of them, why should we continue to support that? I get where you're coming from about the unfair comparisons, and I think you're 100% correct about that, but there's no way I'm shelling out $60 over market value for a China pot with a small, easily propagated plant. Also, this is just one example of their offerings. It leaves me distrustful of Planterina, whoever and whatever that is, and sullies Amanda (whom I love and adore and hope she's taking care of her personal mental health) because she benefits from these shady practices, whether or not she's in direct control of those decisions. I'd rather purchase from an Etsy seller who got the plant from big box to resell and needs those profits to feed her family, if that made up narrative even holds any weight. With all that said, each of us should be able to spend our money wherever we want without being shamed, but you can see how a little knowledge goes a long way in deciding what is a "fair" or "good" price.

I would have bought it too! The Walmart one is doing great! The other 2 I ended up potting together and they have just been in the background being forgotten unfortunately

​@@spacecaseandherplantsdid it get blue at all?

I've gotten that comment a few times. It was sold as Cebu blue and I didn't know that there was a different plant out there being sold as Cebu. Now I know what to look for when buying one. Thank you so much for watching!

@@spacecaseandherplants We call it "tibatib" here in the Philippines. It can mutate to produce some yellow variegations but very rare even in the wild. Just keep it. It looks great when grown next to a true Cebu Blue. Their different colors pop.

That's not a bad price at all for such a large one! Thank you so much for watching!

Interesting.. why do you say the one from cactus club is not Cebu Blue? I know I got super lucky at Walmart finding that one!

@@spacecaseandherplants the leaves looks darker more like dragon tail .... it just what I see behind the screen , but you can tell if it has silver-blue or darker than the other two

I'm glad I was pronouncing it correctly! Thank you!

I agree! I made this exact same mistake with another plant on their website. Had to learn my lesson the hard way!

The prices are fair and the product is good. The plant she got from planterina is a cebu blue. The other two are not Cebu Blue. They are just regular epiprenums. I am very particular about my plants and I will pay the extra from reputable sellers to ensure I get the real thing. Watch the video again and you can see from the colour of the leaves that second plants are not the same as the one from Planterina.

@@TheRealSabrinaDeep I will meet you 1/2 way, epipremnum pinnatum is a jungle weed, the "Cebu blue" is from the Cebu province in the Philippines, it has that distinct blue tint, in botany its called "glaucous" and if it isn't that gray/green/blue color its not the Cebu varietal. No e. pinnatum should be 90., but the other two are obviously not the glaucous varietal. The Cactus Club one is definitely just a standard e. pinnatum, and the walmart/costa one looks like they might have crossed them to speed up production. would costa do that? definitely.

@@notverynotoriousg5674 Very interesting. I was looking into it more after I left these comments and I did come across an e. pinnatum that was also just called blue or a blue variety. I wondered if this is where the confusion was coming from because some articles did suggest that the blue could just be a cross of the two. Great information to know!

@@TheRealSabrinaDeep I should have added I have a cebu blue and it doesn't grow well, mine was lopped off an immature plant, not the best way to get cuttings. At the same time when I have seen the actual cebu varietal it looks like the plant from Planterina, not very full, and I'm wondering if its just people taking cuttings of cuttings so fast the plants don't have time to mature. I have noticed the same thing with trendy philodendrons, only you hack up baby philodendrons and they turn into "immature" plants, they don't grow like the regular plant.

Oh yeah most of the time when I buy something at Lowes or home Depot they are suuuuper wet

I'm so sorry your plants didn't arrive in good shape. I'm always tempted to make another purchase when they have such good deals. I wondered the same thing..she should check in on quality control. Or listen to the bad reviews. Thank you so much for watching and sharing your experience!

The first plant I purchased from plantarina arrived in great shape. So I made another order this time for four plants. And they all arrived completely messed up! They were completely out of the pots, soil everywhere, tons of broken stems. This was the order that I had purchased this Cebu Blue from. Not sure if I'll purchase ever again. But their discounts and sales are very tempting!

The shipping is not their fault. Im sure if the plant is damaged they will replace it. Reputable nurseries always do. I purchase most of my plants from Holland (I live in Spain) and some arrive perfect and some arrive late, destroyed and/or dead. They always replace them. You get what you pay for and Space Case got a cebu blue from them and its a nice size for the price. The other two plants are not cebu blue's .

I ordered for the first and last time from planterina a few months back and the plant I received barely had roots. The plant started dying within days, luckily they gave me a refund but I was so disappointed. Still love Amanda's videos but maybe they need better quality control.

Oh no! I had another disappointing experience with planterina as well. Did your order arrive messed up?

@@spacecaseandherplants There was a deal to purchase one plant and pick 2 free plants. I purchased a large Hoya Gracilis. After the plant had time to acclimate to it's new environment I decided to change the soil to my hoya mix. When I did this I found that the plant was actually small not large! The pot was full of soil with a small plant that was in a large grow pot. I had planned to repot the plant in the grow pot that it came in, but that might have led to root rot so I repotted it into a small grow pot. The two plants that I got "free" were wish list plants that I am pleased with. This was the first time that I purchased a large plant from Planterina so I don't know if this is standard. Your experience made me decide to take a break from the Planterina email list and from purchasing plants there. Thank you for sharing your experience!

Nice!

I'll look into it! Thanks for letting me know!

Planterina seems to be very hit and miss. I've purchased very good plants and very bad plants! I had a plant arrive with absolutely no roots in really bad shape. Thank you for sharing your experience and thank you so much for watching!

I didn't know that they were different before doing this video. They were all sold as Cebu blue. But now I know there is something else out there being sold as Cebu blue pretty regularly. Thank you for letting me know!

@@spacecaseandherplants ohh yes gotcha! I’m lucky where I live the nursery’s are very honest. I’ve never bought from Walmart the town here is too small for one! None of the less they are all gorgeous plants!

I hate when something I bought full price gets marked down soon after! I hope your plant arrived in good shape at least! Thank you so much for watching!

Oh no! I'm glad they gave you a refund for the plants at least!

Hahaha that's how I always feel grabbing a wish plant! Like where is the swarm of people I have to fight off 🤣

Only $4! What a deal! Oh yeah the plants are always over watered. But if you can find some good stuff it's usually at a cheaper price!

Another Walmart win story? When I scored my Manjula pothos from there. It was so funny, it had a Golden pothos stake in it which I knew it wasn't! Love when I find mislabeled plants.
