Join me on a little tour of all the free plants I have found or received! From snapped-off branches spotted on the ground to friendly neighbors and family sharing wealth... there are so many ways to grow your plant collection and garden for free, check out what these plants looked like when I first found them, and what they look like now, months and years later, and for the most part fully grown in.
If you have any questions or comments please write me a message below, I love chatting with you all. Tell me about your favorite free plant find!

Beautiful group of plants. My daughter doesn’t understand why plant lovers collect free plants. Love this!

@FreePlantsForever Год назад

Thank you! It's a funny plant lover thing isn't it? Something nice about a free plant or a rescue.

I have a jade plant that started as three inch long plant that I picked up at the high school where my daughter went. We were registering her as a freshman. She is now in her mid-40’s and the plant is as tall as her. I also have lilacs and mission figs that I got from a friend. She got from her mother when she married and brought cuttings with her when she moved here. She believes the original plants would be at least 100 years old if they still existed. Now there are housing developments where they used to be. It is interesting to trace them back. If anyone is interested, there is a catalog called The Rare Seed Catalog that sells seeds with histories like that. It’s fascinating.😊

I love hearing stories like that! Heirloom plants! Fun as well to hear about your daughter and the Jade plant. When they are happy they can live for so long and grow huge! My good friend has a grapevine that her late grandmother brought as cuttings from Armenia to Lebanon to LA over many decades. It now thrives in my friend's garden and is a magical piece of her homeland. 💚

you've renewed my interest in succulents. imagine the retail cost of you're yard now! great job!

Glad to hear! And yes, a little patience to let everything grow in has been very beneficial to my wallet 😅

Iam off to home depot today for patio stones but now i will scanning the floor in the garden center.thank you so much.never would have thought of this.i always thought those on the floor were dead.

@FreePlantsForever 24 дня назад

Yes! Always look on the ground, especially for succulents as there are always broken succulent pieces to be found at my Home Depot anyways!

What are the tall orangy - pink plants in your front garden, they are gorgeous. You went around them a few times but didn't mention them, I'm guessing they weren't free but they are something very different I'd like to see if I can find them in Western Australia. Thanks for sharing your garden, I enjoyed seeing your placement of the succulents. Lovely garden.🌹

@FreePlantsForever 11 месяцев назад

Oh I think those are the Euphorbia Sticks on Fire... and I did actually get them for free! I got several from a large plant my mom was trimming back, and another from a neighbor who was also clearing out her garden. They go that beautiful orange pink when exposed to lots of direct sunlight. If they are in the shade they turn completely green. They are also known as pencil cactus. I also love them because the gophers do no eat them due to toxic sap. Always wear gloves and long sleeves when handling this plant as the sap can cause bad skin rash and blisters. I bet they would do really well in Western Australia, I believe they are native to the Southern African region.

Your garden is so impressive. Love your channel. I found a broken watch chain plant and I put it in soil and it’s taking off.

@FreePlantsForever Год назад

Thank you! And great to hear about your watch chain, they break so easily, but also propagate so easily too 🎉

I currently have over a dozen succuelent pups growing and 2 small catcus babies from some freebies I got at the HD. I hit the jackpot the other night brought home about 8 leaves found on the ground at HD, hoping a few will start making some pups. Succulents have become a fun addiction!! I live right next door to HD, Its hard to not want to go there all the time!

@FreePlantsForever Год назад

Amazing, it’d be dangerous if I lived so close to Home Depot! It really is a fun hobby once you start doing the free plant thing.

Beautiful collection of 😢plants. That’s a lot of free plants. How do you water all of them? I love to prop but don’t have neighbors like yours and never find much at Home Depot or Lowe.

@FreePlantsForever Год назад

Most of my plants are drought tolerant and don’t require too much watering. We do have a timed drip irrigation system in the garden for the drier months, and everything else just gets the hose once or twice a week. As for finding free plants, take a look on Craigslist or Facebook for either plant swap groups or people getting rid of plants on Marketplace. You might be surprised how many people are giving stuff away.

@GDSavingThePast Год назад

Amazing garden and created mostly with free plants. Wish I could grow a garden like that here in Colorado but this area in zone 5 with heavy clay soil and very dry is a tough place to grow anything.

@FreePlantsForever Год назад

We have a lot of heavy clay too, I've been researching plants that help break it up - Sunflowers are apparently are fantastic in clay - good for Summertime color!

@TWILIGHTR0SE Год назад

I'm in Colorado on eastern plains and our garden is mostly in containers, lots of buckets collected on trash day, fabric pots, and garden boxes made from free pallets. Just use containers and you will find success.

@GDSavingThePast Год назад

@@TWILIGHTR0SE Thanks for the tip. Do you leave those potted plants outside over the winter or move them inside

@barbarasmith3967 Год назад

How can I pay postage to you for some of your mom’s or neighbor’s succulents? Bought a new home and starting a succulent garden.

@juliekeil8791 Месяц назад

Hi there, I am curious how is that area by the street watered? How much water it gets? Thanks

@FreePlantsForever 24 дня назад

Great question. We have drip irrigation installed, which waters the plants on a timer, but they are also very drought tolerant so we often turn the water off for the winter and spring months and let mother nature water them. We could also hand-water with a hose if needed, but the drip does the job even better.

@brendamaun5455 Год назад

I'm in PA. Would most of these need to be houseplants for me or would any winter over??

@FreePlantsForever 24 дня назад

Most of my succulent and aroid plants are not frost-resistant, so they would have to be brought indoors for the winter. There are some succulents, such as sempervivum, which can tolerate colder weather, but most of my plants need to stay in temperatures above 40 degrees.

@anthonylewis62 11 месяцев назад

i have the worst luck with monstera plants, i wont ever get another one, they always die on me,

@FreePlantsForever 24 дня назад

Sometimes they just thrive on neglect! But they also require a lot of light. Mine do best in my bright, Californian patio.
