I live on the west coast in California and the plant sections at the Home Depot's here are like 1/6 size of yours there! I am so jealous! I always get encouraged after your videos to go see what they have and then it's like 2 rows and that's it, haha. It's so sad. I am living vicariously through your plant shopping videos!

@denisej.9936 21 день назад

I’m glad to see you check the outdoor plants at Home Depot. Last week at my local HD, I found (and bought) a Cyperus alternifolius, or umbrella palm, which was a popular houseplant in the 1970s. Earlier in the summer, I found large Rex begonias being sold as perennials. And, I found 4” pots of Birds of Paradise for about $5 each. Both were being sold in the outdoor portion of Home Depot, instead of in their indoor greenhouse area. Great video!

Went to Home Depot just for some wall mounts and was just strolling through the plants and found an incredibly variegated PPP. And i mean like half moons of pink leaves.

@davidreid8835 22 дня назад

Teddy Bear vine, that’s a new plant for me and one I liked a lot. Hmmmmm … . Yesterday I purchased 3 tiny Ponytail Palms that I will give to friends and family after they’ve grown a bit bigger. Just wondering, has anyone heard of a plant called Pregnant Onion? Not long ago I bought a couple plants at a farmers market where the seller had labeled them as Ponytails. After looking at them a while I became suspicious about that identity and soon figured out that they were actually Pregnant Onions. Oh well, not a big deal but I much prefer Ponytails. Live and learn.

That black-striped Canna, at the end, is a hybrid called ‘Cleopatra'. Not sure if it’s a hybrid, cultivar, varietal, or what. lol. Speaking of Canna, another thing I’ve found lately is they do GREAT in semi-hydro. Outdoors, too. Of course I’m in SoCal so most ppl would have to bring them in in winter. But like, if you ever have a larger batch of DIY Pon, as I made, or even just a little extra bit of LECA (it doesn’t even need to be a massive container), it’s a perfect match. Canna tubers will grow partially or completely submerged, as long as the foliage is out in the air. So they make water roots quickly and adapt very well to semi-hydro 😊

Hi Melissa, are you very sure about the ID of the Philodendron Summer Glory? I bought that plant at my local Lowes without an ID label on any of those at the store. I kind of thought it is Summer Glory when I searched the internet, however an online vendor who sells a lot of Philodendrons said he thought my plant is P. Glorious.....not Gloriosum mind you. Glorious is a cross of Gloriosum x Melanochrysum. Was the plants you looked at have an ID label? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I have traveled to 3 local Lowes and there are so many great houseplants. I found a P. brandtianum and a good size Monstera deliciosa (for my sister) both for 1/2 price: $10. And I bought a P. rojo congo which you helped ID for me in your video. I have been looking since I bought it on sale for 7.00 and did not have that on my list of possibilities. I thought may be erubescens. Sometimes they are on the 1/2 price rack! Thanks for a great video. It is so fun shopping for plants!

@finnster6582 23 дня назад

How long do you wait when you buy a new plant before you report it to your mix? ❤ From a big box store.

@plantsbymelissa 21 день назад

It depends! Sometimes I get really lazy with repotting. It depends on the plant too because some can stress more easily. I have several in their original mix still that I need to repot. I usually give them a little time to acclimate :)
