    This is my favorite type of video. I get to drool over the plants without fear of spending any money since our Home Depot and Lowes don’t have any type of house plants except the lost basic.

    Wow, liking the video right when I press play ….. some would call it lunacy, I call it dedication.❤
    Just sat down with my coffee and finished another video, then this video played automatically seconds after you posted!! I needed this because I went to a local nursery here in New Orleans yesterday where I found some wishlist plants and I can now easily compare prices without having to go first! Now I’ll know where to hurry to very soon and I’m hoping to snag some price cuts for the season change! But at the same time I think I could negotiate some of the prices at the nursery considering most of the plants will unfortunately need to be rehabbed from the looks of them. 🙃
    Thank you from my plants heart, can’t say my wallet will be saying the same by the end of the day! 😂😂

      aw thank you so much!! haha glad I could share! I was missing filming at these stores so I'll have to go back again later this month and film again and go to the other ones. It was nice to see what's available and the prices of everything. Hopefully, you can snag some good finds you wanted for a good deal and not have to rehab too many of them 🥹🌿

      @ you are so very appreciated for all that you do and I can honestly say so much of my plant knowledge and experience comes from you. I usually am not a fan of most ‘big box store’ videos however yours are the most tolerable because you take your time and show the most popular plants. I find a lot of creators spend so much time on the most common, every day plants that are almost always there.

    Hey, little correction here: Alocasia Tandurusa was not "re-classified". It simply wasn't described at all, up until 2023. Last year it was finally described as Tandurusa, because that's how the locals in Sulawesi Indonesia have known it for years. It comes from "tanduk rusa", meaning "antlers", because the foliage looks like deer antlers.
    The whole "Jacklyn" confusion exists because someone poached the plant and slapped their own name on it, pretending that they discovered a new species. The internet didn't know better and went along with it.

    Here in Little Rock, our Home Depot and Lowes are at best plant killers. They do not have anyone who can over see the plant material. I have seen a whole tables of dried out Colorado Blues, Dwarf Albertas Spruces, Etc. , only to get thrown out. Their tropical section is equally ignored. It borders on criminality.

    My Schlafera was just puttering along in a four inch pot and I decided it had been in it a while so I repotted it in a six inch pot. Then it finally started growing, past the shelf above it so I moved it to my living room. It’s not under a grow light (for now) but it’s grown a foot since I moved it. Daily it’s putting out new leaves. I may have to repot it next spring.

    I think your purchase of the Tortum is excellent. A beautiful and unique plant you should name it Dr Who because it sounds like the term Tardis. Could the Tortum have the ability to conduct time travel like the Tardis? That would be a great superpower for you; you could eradicate thrips!!! Wonderful! Enjoy your new plant.

    Maybe a little off topic here. Got six tomato plants this last spring from my local nursery. Four of them died within 3 weeks. Could not find any more at the nursey stores in the area. So I went to Menard's. Bought four of their tomato plants and hoped for the best. Cut to the chase, those 4 plants were fantastic and produced until the first frost. Guess I'll be doing Menard's next year for my tomatoes!

      @@donnahollaender okay same!! I am now down to 132 🥲 washed all my plants once a week, pick the best day for you! Their life cycle as an adult goes about 45 days. So it’s best to be cleaning them for over that amount of time to kill the nasty larvae😵‍💫
      1. Spray them off with water
      2. Neem oil, I used the “neem oil concentrate; by Harris” mixed the amount needed with water. Spray them down and let them sit at least 30-45min (that’s what I did).
      3. Spray off with water again.
      4. Spray with Castile soap, hydrogen peroxide, & water. Soak those suckers and let it sit again at least to 30-45 min.
      5. Repeat.
      Been doing this every Saturday or Sunday since September 3rd. And so far I haven’t seen a single bug for a good few weeks. Knock on wood. I just started to lessen the time to sit/soak. I bumped it to 25min each round. It is very time consuming but honestly worth it. I’ve lost a few and I definitely butchered SO many into wet sticks.
      A lot of products I’ve used were recommended from Melissa! She’s a saint!🫶🏻
      I’m sure you will find a way to get them out ! You got this!!!!!🤞🏻✨

      Before I buy a new plant from a store I go through all the leaves and stems 2-3 times, non-plant people must think I'm weird the way I look at that plant for like 10 minutes 😅

      @oppgard I look them over too especially after I got one covered in mealy bugs. Poor plant. I also always completely take the soil off them because I bought a plant once that had nothing on it but later it was covered in mealy bugs. They had to come out of the soil

    I just started watching you a few weeks ago, and didn’t realize you were also from Savannah! This was definitely a pleasant surprise considering I just got into plants and felt like I wouldn’t have been able to find many exciting plants in my area. 🥹
