I can tell you're in California because everywhere else , they don't even carry plants this time of year! All of the garden supplies are on clearance or gone.
I was at Home Depot and bought a cool cactus that I thought had a bloom on it. I got home and saw glue on the plant and realized the bloom was glued on! Then the tag said “everlasting faux bloom.” And some of the other plants there were straight up spray painted! Why can’t people just appreciate the natural beauty of plants!?
I can't believe I just watched an entire video on pots and I was so rivited! This is my favorite gardening channel! Oh yeah I recently scored on some greats plants on offer up. I bought this lady's entire gardening collection because she was moving.😀👍
I loved both the pots videos. Kevin is such a natural in front of the camera, and he feels like a friend just sharing stuff with you. I'm a complete fan!
I'm about to do a sewing video on how to make fabric grow pots out of the legs of jeans. I need some for my herbs and I think they'd make great gifts for Christmas. Hope this works!
I’ve been going to a thrift store called UNIQUE...which is the same thing as Savers out in the west coast. I found a bird cage hanging planter for three bucks plus a 25%discount! I later painted it with gold wax and it looks AMAZING!
My go to for houseplant pots is to hit up a local thrift store and buy up whatever brass decorative pots they have around. Brass is pretty soft and its easy to drill drainage holes in it. I also find it looks really nice with the green of the houseplants.
I live in Chula Vista/Bonita and recognized your mission to Plaza Bonita. I Just purchased 4 raised beds from your shop! So stoked! Newbie to gardening but have been watching tons of your videos!
If you guys have an "At Home" store they have clearances every season on seasonal color pots I got a huge one that holds my soil for $12. I'd love to see you go to Home depot and Lowes in your area and see what you find
My wife runs the yardwork business that we started together seven years ago. Most of the pots I have now were "found" buried beneath the weeds in people's overgrown yards. I always ask if they want them hauled away, and usually they say yes!
I thought of starting a small business of hand painting pots I did a sunflower design and it was very nice. Hopefully I’ll start it soon! ☺️ love your videos!
These days I love the flea market type antique stores for pots too - maybe converting some things that weren’t originally used for plants into cachepots. I went on a cast iron kick earlier this year and realized what a horrible idea that was when I moved recently😂
As usual helpful and informative. I especially appreciated the end of the video where you showed the pots with plants in your home. For some reason they looked much smaller when you were considering purchasing them so it was great to see that they were really nice pots in your home. Thanks for all your helpful tips. Really great.
I have definitely found cheap pots at Goodwill's and at restore (habitat for humanity consignment store) (but restore is a hit or miss as things go fast and it's based on donations) in the dtla areas I assume sd might be similar but GW is definitely the more consistent and better place to look :)
I appreciate this channel so much. You have a solid knowledge, no nonsense approach that I truly appreciate. I bought 2 of the humidifiers you suggested and I'm very pleased with them. A lot of the UA-cam creators don't care about budget, but you do and that is so helpful. Thank you for your advice!!
I love those pots. I get most of my pots at either Home Depot or Lowe's. For some reason I can't find any terra cotta pots anywhere and it's been that way since the pandemic.
Stores that are specifically for houseplants or gardening in general. Will always have pots. The one near me is a local non chain business. So they have liver prices
Thanks, Kevin... your house looks great. I am super cheap when buying pots.. and I have been looking for the entire 8 months I’ve been quarantined. Items found = 0. I am about to take a pottery course! But your consignment store finds were impressive!
Every year in the spring, I buy ceramic pots with drain holes from my local (Oceanside) Rite Aid. They are not huge but are great for my herb table. Plus I love the different shapes and glazes and they are a great deal.
I also love the fact you're using multiple plants in pots. I love to propagate my plant and sometimes I have too many water cuttings that would take up an enormous amount of room if I gave them all separate pots. So I have some gorgeous Arrangements of all these different cuttings from Wandering Jew deposit those 2 philodendron spider plants Etc all growing in the same pot looks like a little garden!
I love watching your videos, Kevin!!! Could you please make a video about gardening while disabled? You mentioned your mother has a disability, and so do I. I would love to learn any tips you have. Thanks for all of your content! Listening to your voice is very relaxing.
Thank you for bringing awareness to consignment stores. I know it’s not predictable, what options they’ll have. But they had some surprising options. 🤗 I love that bigger raised pot you used for the palm. 🥳
Hi Kevin! I think you did great on the pots especially considering the sizes. The plants you chose look really good, too! I especially like the one with the palm in it. Our Walmart hasn't had pots for a long time. Fred Meyers, Home Depot, Lowe's and thrift stores might be good choices..... I hope you will do a tour of your house when you've got it fixed the way you want it. Thank you so much for sharing!
Ok so last month while on vacation, was my first time hearing about or stepping inside of a "Smart and Final!" My brother had me looking high and low for beef tamales that are only sold at that store. Found them and shipped them back home for $124 😳. Nothing at all to do with pots but, cool story huh? 🤪
You can paint the DT ones, if you don’t like the color. Make paper clay ornaments with a mold and attach them. Then seal. Have you tried ROSS and Ollie’s for pots?
SO happy I just found you. You are the best!! Question: what tip of pot did you put under the last pot with the plant in it from Walmart? The pot was the raised one from the consignment store? Also, SO glad you informed about some plants (like ferns) that are okay without a drainage hole. I did just order the diamond tipped bits to drill some holes in pots that do need them, thanks to you. Really love how you break everything down in simple ways and make gardening seem approachable and not daunting. Thank you!
I really like your pot picks, good prices for what you got. I have gotten some good prices on pots from Costco, but how they worked out was a little hit and miss.
A little far for you to travel, but here in Doncaster, England I usually get my pots from our local garden centre which always has a 50% off section...always good quality and I can get big pots for half price , although I always end up buying two (or three ;-)
I was wondering, too. I live in Germany and we have Garden Centers with plants (indoor and outdoor) and pots all year round 😉. Also, our hardware stores have attached garden centers so we have a lot of choices and prices are moderate. But I envy THAT conseigment store, looks great!
@@epicgardening I believe Armstrong Garden Center would be a contender for the local equivalent to this -- they definitely had a 3-50% off section for certain plants cycling out of their typical seasons (airplants being a good example) Also, I they have a huge selection of pots, but I have no idea if the pots there are worth it or not
sometimes Home Goods could be an option. for the past few years from all places RIdeAid has placed their garden section items on sale around Labor day and pots are usually 1/2 off. and sometimes not to underestimate - Lows has pots on sale.
I just bought a bunch of houseplants at a 70% off end of season sale at a garden center, and was stoked to go out to look for nice pots for them. Found NOTHING. About to try the local Goodwill and thrift shops-thanks for the tip.
I really like the black marshall's pot. I need some more pots but I can't bring myself to shop at those big places instead of second hand. For extra free pots, I use yogurt containers lol.
I recently found enormous round plastic pots - I think around 20" for only $11.99 each. Just wanted to pass along that information. They come in a few colors such as light green, and teal blue. Just got them this past month at Home Depot in person. There are some matching but smaller also for a lesser price.
I remember osh kosh.lol but what I remember and miss even more is OSH The garden home store.. man they had the best stuff and the employees where ACTUALLY helpful! Dang I miss them
We got a great large pot at Ace Hardware last fall. It is glazed with hole in bottom. Very nice. This store is in Claremore, Oklahoma. They always have things others don't have.
Walmart here is just getting in the garden stuff to include nice, big pots. It'll probably be a couple more weeks until they get all the new inventory out. FYI
I am more in No. California, I go to grocery outlet during growing season and they always seem to have some nice very large pots for great prices. Nothing fancy, but like I said great prices.
One of the best places in north Houston to find good prices and a large selection of pottery is Houston Plants and Gardens (near I-45 just south of FM1960 for the locals). Another place I used to find a good variety is at HEB (my favorite Texas grocery chain). I rarely go to Walmart when looking specifically for pots and Target tends to be overpriced.
I almost bought that black patterned pot today at TJ Maxx but got a black and white patterned one the same size and style. My go to for pots are TJ Maxx, Homegoods and Marshalls.
Living in Virginia here. I bought a few fiddle leafs back in August (ish). When I tell you I have been searching HIGH AND LOW for 9 inch pots for months I am not exaggerating. Walmart, Marshall's, Ross, Home Depot, Lowes, TJ Maxx, World Market (they had a few but they were $45), Home Goods. I've given up. Will start my search again in the spring :(
I get all of my pots from the garden/plant store that is near me. It’s called Mullhalls and it’s amazing if your in the Omaha Nebraska area. They have an amazing year round selection of not only everything you need for a houseplant, but they have a vast selection of houseplants and herbs year round. And everything is very reasonably priced as well. It’s also the only store I can find 5 inch terra-cotta pots.
Try the big box stores (Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Lowes, etc) again in March/April. It would be interesting to see when the seasonal garden items comes back in.
You can check small-local dollar stores, mine usually have pots year round but, 9 times out of 10, they’re plastic which I personally don’t mind. I found some 9” pots for $1.39 each with 3 drainage holes. They’re also usually gray, terra-cotta color or greenish blue
I absolutely adore woven baskets they are my favourite...probably made in Vietnam, China, India....those prices are such a rip off. They are beautiful though 😊
I find spring is the best time to shop for pots and planters at Marshalls, TJMaxx and Ross. This time of year, the stores are stocking up for the holiday season. During the rest of the year, I will shop at IKEA and thrift stores.
You can make your own hypertufa pots and quikrete pots. Please do a video on how to make these inexpensive pots that you can customize. Amazon has some cool concrete molds you can use to create various geometric pots.
I like the plain terra cotta pots from Home Depot for consistency, however, I am a sucker for your palms pot! I have a couple of large ones in that shape and I also love the olive jar shapes. Large pots! With iron stands. I like the way terra cotta and clay ages, even if painted. I also keep all of my plants on stands, because the large black beetles climb terra cotta to lay eggs and their children are grubs. Grubs chew right through roots. It's a hobby for me to find the pots and stands I like. And by the way, I am in Arizona, so terra cotta works...
I just went to Dollarama this week. I think it's unique to Canada, and getting expensive, but I got 4 big plastic pots, 8-12" in diameter, $4-5 each, for the small amount of space that I have, and I'm quite happy with them. They're getting peas, carrots, beans, and hopefully cantaloupe. And plastic plants do have their place. My brother gave my grandma fake flowers one year because she's allergic to the real thing, they still live on her dining room table. They are also zero maintenance.
For little ones - I use two tin cans together. The one on the bottom is for the water. The one on the top is for the plant and medium and I hammer nail holes through it for cotton wicks, water level indicator stalk and watering. Glue a tube for watering through, above one of the holes, glue the tube for the water level indicator above another. Then I crochet a pot shaped cover to hide them both inside. It's great for baby plants. The larger tins (usually with mushrooms or potatoes in) are probably better than the baked bean tins. I am yet to find out whether they will, in time, start to rust but I like the straight up and down of them... Get more on a shelf! And you can make them different heights if you're good with hacksaw and tinsnips (and if you're careful with your fingers). So if you're a bit 'crafty' - don't be getting rid of those empty tins!
I think in general, most stores consider pots as seasonal...I don’t, but whatever. You will find most of them when early spring hits (Ross, Marshall’s, or TJ Maxx tend to be the cheapest). I just tend to “stock up” then even if I have no plant to put in the pot. If I don’t end up using it, a plant in a pot always makes a good gift :)
I've had a similar problem. I decided to root my spider plant shoots. Getting enough pots at this time of year. Tired my nursery, Gardeners Supply, and the company that makes the pots. Everyone is out. I did locate another type, but they're bigger than I like.
If you go to Rite Aid store at the end of the spring season, early summer, they reduce the price of pots and other garden supplies by 50%. I got some nice pots there at a great price.
I picked up a couple of pots at my local Ace Hardware in early October. Best part, it was Bill the Owner of that particular Ace that helped me find what I needed.
Before Home Goods the chain was "Garden Ridge" and I could walk in and get a flower pot or cache pot anytime of the year. I needed some pots in September and Home Goods had liquidated most of that merchandise and was already setting up Christmas. I did find a couple things on clearance but was over all disappointed. I am just living with nursery pots and terra cotta until spring now. Maybe I will check out Marshalls. Thanks for the shopping trip!
Pro tip: If it's October or later, big box stores are TERRIBLE to find pots at (and probably terrible in general) :P
:P
Very accurate assessment!
NOW I CANT STOP SAYING :P :(((
Can you you get more involved with CALADIUMS and ALOCASIAS🌿😀
I can tell you're in California because everywhere else , they don't even carry plants this time of year! All of the garden supplies are on clearance or gone.

Yeah I gotta do a vid on that, so crazy :(
Really?! Who thought of that? They need a kick in the pants.
@@acolley2891 I read that as "a kick in the plants" 😂
@@meowedith haha me too!
Wait until you see what it looks like when it blooms for real. Way cooler than a dried straw bud
Always thrift stores first! Sometimes they are just $0.50 each and can be painted for that price!
Thift stores is my go to too
Going to do thrift next!
And lots of thrift shops donate to charitable organizations, which is an added bonus to the savings.
I always start by thrifting if I'm not looking for a particular item. I have lots of mismatching pots.
What kinda paint is good?
I like to go to IKEA, Joann, and Michaels for my pots. I’m also into upcycling cans and baskets or sewing fabric or rope cache pots
Was at Kroger yesterday, and they had a huge rack of succulents on sale for 25 cents each. The pots they were in were worth a lot more than a quarter.
WOW
I saw that at my local kroger too! I got 4 of them and they were in decent condition minus one being super root bound
I can't believe I just watched an entire video on pots and I was so rivited! This is my favorite gardening channel! Oh yeah I recently scored on some greats plants on offer up. I bought this lady's entire gardening collection because she was moving.😀👍

Nice finds! I've been struggling to find some deals, I'll have to try out some consignment spots.
Omg I just LOVE that orange pot with the desert art 🏜😍
Ace Hardware, Green Acres, and thrift stores are my favorite places to find pots👌👌
I’m surprised by the deals at the consignment shop! Very nice, your aesthetic is pretty consistent and warm. Great 👍🏻
Wow surprising finds! I normally get mine at Lowe’s. They’re super cheap 👍🏻
I'll do them next!
@@epicgardening awesome 👏🏻 hope you find some good deals
Hilarious! He said ”Here we have rip-off number 1!” when he was in Targets. 😂😂😂😂 I appreciate this video.
The pots at target are so overpriced! I have a bunch of houseplants but I’m always nervous to re-pot them. Loved the Oshkosh reference too haha 😂
Yeah the Target are insanely overpriced...
I LOVED the Oshkosh jeans and overalls for my kiddos. Brought back some good memories.
Agree ,target high priced
Thanks, Kevin... your house looks great. I am super cheap when buying pots.. and I have been looking for the entire 8 months I’ve been quarantined. Items found = 0. I am about to take a pottery course! But your consignment store finds were impressive!
Good luck with the class
Now that sounds fun! Plus, you will be surrounded by items that YOU made with your own artistic expression. 😊👍🏻
Good luck making your own! :)
Yes, I’ll go shopping with you virtually 😊👍
Every year in the spring, I buy ceramic pots with drain holes from my local (Oceanside) Rite Aid. They are not huge but are great for my herb table. Plus I love the different shapes and glazes and they are a great deal.
Thank you for these videos! I struggle so bad with finding inexpensive pots that actually have drainage holes...
The best place to get cheap pots is Tuesday Morning. Excellent selection and always worthy quality.
I also love the fact you're using multiple plants in pots. I love to propagate my plant and sometimes I have too many water cuttings that would take up an enormous amount of room if I gave them all separate pots. So I have some gorgeous Arrangements of all these different cuttings from Wandering Jew deposit those 2 philodendron spider plants Etc all growing in the same pot looks like a little garden!
Pots are life
I love watching your videos, Kevin!!!

The consignment shop pots are really nice.
They are!
500 v
Could I ask you, where is this Consignment store ???
Good choice especially the ones from consignment store.
I had a pair of Osh Kosh overalls when I was like.... 3 or 4 lmao. They were my absolute fav.
I was just sitting on my laptop, looking up new planters! got some 6" plants yesterday and had no pots. Thank you for the inspo!
Thank you for bringing awareness to consignment stores. I know it’s not predictable, what options they’ll have. But they had some surprising options. 🤗
I love that bigger raised pot you used for the palm. 🥳
I love consignment classics! Before the covid they had events a time or two a year where they serve wine while you walk around looking at the store.
I still remember you broke a pot in Marshall's last time

I suggest you try thrift stores and dollar stores. Due to limited space, in my area, they are on display seasonally ( ie April to August )
You can paint the DT ones, if you don’t like the color. Make paper clay ornaments with a mold and attach them. Then seal.
Have you tried ROSS and Ollie’s for pots?

Love this!
Honest. I like that.
Thrift stores. Random if you find anything but I have found some nice pots. Usually smaller ones.

For little ones - I use two tin cans together. The one on the bottom is for the water. The one on the top is for the plant and medium and I hammer nail holes through it for cotton wicks, water level indicator stalk and watering. Glue a tube for watering through, above one of the holes, glue the tube for the water level indicator above another. Then I crochet a pot shaped cover to hide them both inside. It's great for baby plants. The larger tins (usually with mushrooms or potatoes in) are probably better than the baked bean tins.
I am yet to find out whether they will, in time, start to rust but I like the straight up and down of them... Get more on a shelf! And you can make them different heights if you're good with hacksaw and tinsnips (and if you're careful with your fingers).
So if you're a bit 'crafty' - don't be getting rid of those empty tins!
Hit or miss, but thrift stores are petty good for pots/price. Also, think ahead and Big Lots at the end of the season are great for 50%-70% off.
I think in general, most stores consider pots as seasonal...I don’t, but whatever. You will find most of them when early spring hits (Ross, Marshall’s, or TJ Maxx tend to be the cheapest). I just tend to “stock up” then even if I have no plant to put in the pot. If I don’t end up using it, a plant in a pot always makes a good gift :)
I've had a similar problem. I decided to root my spider plant shoots. Getting enough pots at this time of year. Tired my nursery, Gardeners Supply, and the company that makes the pots. Everyone is out. I did locate another type, but they're bigger than I like.
Plant verigated creeping fig around the base of your palm tree. Will hold more humidity for the palm I love multi planting my pots. No bare soil.
If you go to Rite Aid store at the end of the spring season, early summer, they reduce the price of pots and other garden supplies by 50%.
I got some nice pots there at a great price.
I picked up a couple of pots at my local Ace Hardware in early October.
Best part, it was Bill the Owner of that particular Ace that helped me find what I needed.
Dollar general has some cheap pots there. I live close to one and I occasionally get pots from there.
Before Home Goods the chain was "Garden Ridge" and I could walk in and get a flower pot or cache pot anytime of the year. I needed some pots in September and Home Goods had liquidated most of that merchandise and was already setting up Christmas. I did find a couple things on clearance but was over all disappointed. I am just living with nursery pots and terra cotta until spring now. Maybe I will check out Marshalls. Thanks for the shopping trip!
Oh wow, had no idea :)
yep. walmart's garden section was wiped out and only had Christmas stock. huge bummer.
My Home Depot, 1/4 mile from my house, has a huge supply of pots at great prices. I'm in Northern Cali
I would love to see you repurpose other household items for plant pots! Old vases, bowls, mugs
