- I still can't believe it either... This years houseplant shopping challenge we go and check out my local convenience store to see how many plants we can get for $50 or less. I was not expecting the kind of plants we came across, I knew these convenience stores would sometimes surprise me, whenever I would go and check out their indoor plants, but this blew me away. You can imagine that I pretty much failed this plant shopping challenge. lol
Last year we did a similar plant shopping challenge at big box stores like Ikea and Home Depot, where I got about 5 different type of houseplants. You can check that video out here: • Plant Shopping at Big ...

I was so shocked with the crazy amount of beautiful plants I found at this convenience store. If you were shopping here, which plants would you have taken home?! 😁
OMG! would have gotten that piper ornatum in seconds!
@@1992pita riiight 😅 I’m seriously considering going back and getting it
I definitely would of gotten the Houlomenia can’t spell, but it is gorgeous when it gets big. Nice nice haul, that little shop is a diamond. 😀💚
It is homalomena
thanks for the video. I am going down there tomorrow!!!
Whoever does the buying for this store is KILLING IT! They must be a fellow plant enthusiast who keeps us on the latest, trendiest, plants. Such a fun video!
The periodic gasps at each plant is so relatable haha
Bwahaha. I couldn’t help it. 😅
@@CrazyPlantGuy What a selection and at a convenient store. 😲😊
That would be a "dangerous" convenience store to live near!! 😅 Love it!!
Riiight. Goood thing it’s about a 12 min drive from me 😅
No convenience stores like that in Alabama I have to drive an hour to a nursery or 45 minutes to Lowes but that store near you is impressive for sure. I’m envious. That would be a several hundred dollar cart full for me! I’d have to pass on that allocasia I have a hard time with them $100 is a lot ona plant that I would most likely kill 😢 I’ve managed to keep my Hilo beauty alive and growing
The owner of this convenience store is clearly “one of us”. 👯♂️🪴🧙🏼♂️🧝🏼♀️🌿
True that, lol
Clearly
This store is a sleeping gem!
It appears the store is a way for the owner to satisfy his plant obsession.
Beautiful variety of plants, the owner knows what he does ! But some plants are a bit expensive !
When you know you FAILED, YOU JUST GET ONE OF EACH 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 🥰
Bwahaha. Riiight. At that point you’re like whatever let’s just get one of each. 😂
@@CrazyPlantGuy My husband says " do you have one ?? Then get it !!" Look Christian, when you get to be 60 and have a health scare are you really gonna want to sit there and say to yourself " I almost died, how long am I going to wait to get that plant that I love" ??
Why do I get the feeling he is going to go back after he cut the video, crazy plant guy 🤣🤣🤣👀🤫
That store has more varieties of plants than the nurseries and box stores in my area. WOW! Even common plants I've bought most online.
Your excitement is so great to watch. Forget the budget 😂
OMG! That convenience store has more rare plants than most plant nurseries here in Arizona! I'm so jelly!
My local convenience doesn’t even have bananas, let alone plants 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Bwahaha 🤣
😂😂😂
I'm dead on this comment...but can totally relate. The convenience stores I'm near sells live worms & live crickets, but the only plant would likely be marijuana out of someone's vehicle..lol!!🤣🤣🤣☠️☠️☠️
I live a major city and I don’t even have a convenience store, just a million coffee shops around me.
You definitely hit the jackpot. There’s about ten of them I would walk out with and FORGET the budget!!!💚🙃
You picked up some great plants. I was surprised you passed on some of them. You are better man than I.
I love that you don't cut out your decision-making process when choosing plants! I feel like an idiot going back and forth so much, but it's so important to bring home the right plant. 🥰
We are going over budget for sure 😂😂😂 love it 🥰😂😂 typical plant parent speech 😜🤣
Best convenience store EVER!
Haha for some reason I think you went back to get more plants, I won’t blame you. What a great plant store, thanks Christian for taking us.
literally obsessed! in my 41 yrs on this earth I never gave a second thought to plants. Literally laughed at my new neighbour for the amount of plants she has in her house and balcony. And just one day out of no where I learned about the calming and air purifying properties plants have and now im obsessed! Clearly others are too as there are channels like this!!! i have discovered an entire new youtube world LOL
Your excitement and indecision was so charming to watch. It was lovely to see that despite all the beautiful plants you already own, you are just as excited as the rest of us!
I love how you gasp at all the plants 😂 that’s a true crazy plant person!!!
Plant enthusiast always fail. I go and I just wanna look and see what they have. I did that Friday and came back home with perlite, orchid bark mix, 2 trio star calatheas, Prince of Orange, and one Dottie calathea. 😁
Yup! :D same
Always happens to me too 😂
Me three 😂
and I thought buying shoes was hard. great choices, Christian!
Kid in a toy store "I want that purple sword 💜😋"!!!
Them “where did you find your wishlist plant”
CPG “ at a convenience store”
Them what….
This store is crazy. I've never seen anything like it in the UK. I'll have a pint of milk and one of each plant 🪴
Like a kid in a candy store 💛 your excitement made my day!
Thats my kind of convenience store! The owner is clearly a plant lover too! Plants are at easy access but hey you may have to move a few to get the icecream or dog food you need. Lol!
Ps. I can't believe someone selects plants like i do, I also look at every one to get the "right" one!
everyone does that...
I know right! I also spend way too much time selecting the perfect one to take home
Wow, I can't believe the selection at this convenience store! Super fun video
This, weirdly, fed my desire to go plant shopping. Beautiful plants there! I just bought a Hilo Beauty last week (for 5 euros)!
That’s a fantastic pice to pay.
You’re so adorable when you get excited about plants. True joy is amazing to see and lifts my spirits
Your love for plants is so palpable!! That full lemon lime maranta (05:34) was just divine. I live in London Ont and feel like I should drive there just to get one...lol
Yeay for supporting small businesses!!!
I would have gotten the stingray, the syngonium feeling one with the green band (Unidentified), I would have scoped the hanging monsteras and that massive begonia! :D
When u have lapped the little store so many time but I can't decide so....another lap hahahahahhah 😩🤣
Lol I laughed at this too. It dawned on me that this is how I must look when trying to choose a plant. Only difference is no one witnesses me on YT. Ha.
After watching this video, i went to the convenience store and snagged the last Alocasia Cuprea! The store was so cool and the owners were so friendly and we talked about Crazy Plant Guy haha. So in love with my new plant, thank you Crazy Plant Guy!!
Haha that’s awesome. Glad you manage to score the last one. Great store and great people for sure. 😁
I love how each and every plants are so beautiful and healthy. But WHY SO EXPENSIVE OMGGGG!!
What an awesome store to have access too, some of these plants are really hard to find.
Getting dizzy from the fast camera moves......totally worth it to hear the joy and excitement in your voice. What a magical store...get your groceries and wish list plants in one spot!
Go back and get the purple sword! I always fail. 😂
The store has more variety of plants then Lowes or walmart here in Ohio. Plus I would have put my budget aside so many wishlist plants
All my wish plants in one spot !!! How much gas do yo want to spend ?? Get them all now !!!!
This was sooooo my experience yesterday! So many rare plants are hitting the market! I found a rooted full starter plant of PPP for 75! And found an epic philodendron goeldii and monstera Peru each for 25! ♥️ I was so excited, skipped round the shop to compare and pick :D
(Seattle, WA, US)
Where did you find them? I live in Tacoma, might head up there!
I got a decent sized Peru for $20 in Tucson last week!!!
@@Alleycat041 Molbaks in Woodinville! They just upped their game with a Rare and Unusual section :D
I love this episode, purely because of the joy of finding some amazing plants and the indecision that plant buying does to us all, shown in your character. I would definitely have bought the Hilo Beauty, the Cissus Discolour and the Homalomena feeling guilty for how much I spent but then as soon as I find places for them at home that guilt disappears and then thinking what plants I want next, LOL.
I NEED that maranta! Thanks for all the shout-outs of the stores so we can support local business!
Every time you do one of these videos I run over to Parliament street! Last year I bought staghorn ferns for $5! The prices have really gone up!
I totally understand you!! That's what happens to me too when surrounded by so many" want to get" plants!! By the way in Greece were I come from an Alocasia Cuprea that size costs only 14,00€ pretty expensive plants in that convenience store.🤗
I get all in a frenzy when there’s so many to pick from 😅
Oh. I WISH there was a convenience store with all of those gorgeous plants near me!
Filipinos watching are drooling over the maranta. It's hard to find ones that are lush and flawless, especially at that price. The schismatoglottis is pretty common and cheap here, as low as P200. The leaves can grow really big too. It's been raining daily here for a week now and my walichii seems to be putting out a new leaf almost everyday.😄 It loves the daily shower it gets.
The way this was filmed showed how distracted and enthusiastic you are around plants!!!
“Just pick a plant. Just pick a plant!”
A conversation that I’ve definitely had with myself. Haha!
Your excitement when you spotted different plants got me all excited too! I love the fact that you found these great plants at a convenience store! Wow. :)
Love how you already decided you're going over budget! 😂 I would too. You never know when you'll find another!
I love how excited you get.
Man, you hit the jackpot over here at this store!! Who knew a convenient store would have all these spectacular plants! What would I buy!? Geeze, as much as ai could!! Def that $94 plant, she was beautiful!! Excellent store!! Can I send you my money, then you could grab my plants and mail em to me!! Shoot, I wish!! There are sooooo many to choose from!! Its amazing to see all of these beauties on the shelves!!
When he took a deep breathe, I thought he was going to talk about the ice cream.😳😂
Hahahaha😀😂Me too
It is the Cissus discolor that I would have taken at home ! 🥰
I was tempted. Looked so beautiful and full too. 😁
I would've taken a Cissus also...passed on the Fittonia. I have one....it definately gets on my "nerve".
Those hanging baskets were buy one get one free at the greenhouse I stopped at today and they were only $5 to begin with. I think everyone here has killed to many to try again lol 😂
Nothing like buying a $1.00 freezie and a $100.00 plant. Love this place. Christian, your excitement 🙌🏻🙌🏻. Excellent haul. I would still be there trying to decide 😂
My daughter kept saying no the other one. She's 6 but does the same thing when she is shopping for plants with me. Loved it. Beauties!!!
HAHA YES...Calatheas... my favorite 🤣Also, I agree, that price for a Cuprea is great!! But when I saw that Piper.. 😻 ahhh !! That was so cute! Thank you for sharing this, so much fun watching you get excited seeing these plants! I would've also picked up some body wash from that store hahaha
Beautiful plants. 🥰
Whoa…what a selection! *gasp!! 😲😂
That cuprea is absolutely stunning! I can't believe I overlook that convenient store, definitely making a trip there! Thank you for this Christian!
Wow! The plants are gorgeous!
You've got to more of these videos! I loved hearing you gasp about what you found!!
That hilo beauty! I want one too 😊 the homalomena camo was such a find, they are so expensive online and I've never seen it in person! I would have bought those 2.
I can relate how you’re feeling! That’s exactly what I do when I am at home center! 😅 I came across to your channel as I was looking for advices to help my rubber plants’ stems. Your video on how to propagate the trees has been so informative! Thank you! Keep posting😊
What a great corner everything store! These people have connections.
Absolutely great picks I couldn't have picked my heart was racing just watching you 😊😊 always love your videos thanks for sharing
My mouth dropped open just seeing the outdoor plants!❤️
Beautiful plants. Definitely some I would love to have.
Wow, what a selection!😳
I love your excitement!
WOW. Those Pipers 😍😍
Omg! Love the new look.
So happy and thankful you posted this video, I'll be in Toronto Wednesday and this is definitely going to be a stop while I am there:) There was a plant looked like a white pothos at about the 14:30 mark can't wait to see what they are. Thank you so much I love your videos ❤
Wow what a GREAT find!!!!!!!😁😁😁
this WHOLE video is such a mood
So lucky to have such variety at a convenience store! Unbelievable. Would never go to a box store again. Really enjoyed sharing your excitement over all those lovely unusual plants.
The store you went to was awesome. I live in a small town our plant stores are crap it is limited to Lowes and Home Depot. That neon pothos 😱
Same. I’ve never seen anything like that ever.
@@pharmtec24 that little convince store has better plants then any big store is ever seen
Yo! This the most excited I’ve been watching a plant haul! I was pumped like you! As soon as you went in…. I knew it was over. 😂😂😂
See if they're hiring. "Just pay me in plants!"
I do have a question though. How on earth do they water plants inside the store?
Awww I love ur excitement in this video ....it had me cheezin 😁😘🤣... u made my day 🙌🏻 love from WA
My mouth is watering 😍
I adore that Bambino! Enjoy!!
Apparently I need to move to Canada! I can’t believe the selection of plants in a convenience store! Incredible!
You made the right choices! You picked up at least one wish list plant and all 3 were gorgeous! I was amazed at the variety of the plant choices. Happy growing!! Really enjoyed this video. 👏🌿🥰💚
Oh that Cuprea…major drool. Great price too. Wonderful plant selection for such a small store, sure wish we had those kind of selections here in WI. Thanks for sharing.
Incredible selection in a grocery store!
I’m here in the US and I’ve never seen anything equivalent to this. I’ve lived all across this country and we don’t have little convenience stores that also carry plants. At least that I know of.
your excitement is contagious
😁 I couldn’t help myself
Christian: "Okay what are we going to get?"
Me yelling at my screen: "OH MY GOD GET IT ALL! 😍"
🤣 Covid has stopped me visiting garden places so I am living out my plant shopping dreams through this video right now!
Decisions are hard. Glad I'm not the only one. Great finds 👏
You picked lovely selections
Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing plants collection lovely one of the each planet I love the convenience store is very expensive have a good day
WoW 😍. I will have to go check out this store! What a selection!
Omg I wish I had a convenience store like that in Washington! 🤩 I just had so much fun plant shopping with you. 🤣😂 it’s a good thing you’re on the other side of the continent, because if we plant shopped there together, we’d both have easily ended up with a cool $1K worth of all those beauties! Plant “budget” is really up for interpretation. I’m also so glad to know that I’m not the only one that goes back and forth so much when choosing a plant! 🪴😅🤔
And this awesome mop...😁
Budget out the window within the first minute! Can relate!
I enjoyed this so much! I was putting on makeup and watching/listening and every time you gasped I would look at my phone and gasp "What!?" Right along with you! 🤣
It’s so funny to see a hundred dollar plant just hanging out next to the popsicles. It must be a regional thing, as I’ve never been to a convenience store here in central Florida that sells plants. I wish we had them because that is so cool!
WOW, they have a lot of beautiful varieties
HAPPY 🌞DAY TO ALL 💚💚💚💚!!!
