My grandma bought an anthurium in one of those tiny decorative pots with moss on top for “decoration”…she nearly rotted it completely through not understanding how much moisture that moss would hold 😬 the pot didn’t have any drainage either. Costa farms and whoever else definitely set you up to fail 😔 and unfortunately 99% of these stores put the plants out when they get a new shipment and then don’t even look at them unless a manager happens to tell an associate to water them (which they will usually do incorrectly). I’ve also been starting to see things labeled “succulents” that definitely aren’t- Marantas, Hoyas, Peperomia…There are some good finds for sure but you really need to know what you’re looking at!
Sorry to hear your tillandsia blew away! Did you know… You can hot glue them to pretty much any surface? Including trees or wood/rocks. You can even glue a little bit of sphagnum moss (dry), around the base of the plant, for a little “cushioning” lol
I hope someday that the big box stores begin to offer more of the unusual Sansevierias that are out now just like they have started to show with other plants. When I mostly want to add to my Snake Plant collection, I have to go to places like Esty who offers so many different kinds of these plants. But it sure would be great and convenient to see them more at these others stores.
Be sure to repot your trebuii in a well draining soil. The coconut coyer that Costa uses will hold too much water. The trebuii are extremely sensitive to moisture. I almost lost mine from Walmart due to root rot and I found a few other plant RUclipsrs advising the same. My plant is recovering but I lost a lot of foliage.
The fern you saw in Walmart is a kangaroo paw fern! :) Great fern for someone looking to get into to ferns. Very hardy and lovely when they mature. If you like orchids look at the Elizabeth Ann Buckley orchid. I have one and the flowers are out of this world!
@@ErikaLodes Excellent!!! I got a cheap plastic salad bowl from the dollar store, drilled holes in the sides and bottom, did levels of orchid bark and moss and slow release orchid fertilizer balls on top and found a nice pot and it has done so very well in filtered light. Hope you get one!!! :)
Most of these prices are scams so its great that you show the prices. And thats also why they don't want you to show the prices. lmao 18:05 OMG You should have bought that fittonia!
your personality is everything. New subscriber😊. I enjoyed your video. I have to get the courage and upload I'm afraid I'll trip in mid back yard tour. Dont you find it odd that most Home Depots dont have a clearance section. They just toss them.
Also, you mentioned bird of paradise looking like a banana. Guess what?! Lol 💁🏼♂️My mind is blown. I just found out on Wikipedia… the plant Order Zingiberales includes all genera of prayer plant, banana, ginger, galangal, turmeric, Birds of Paradise, heliconia AKA lobster claw, cardamom, and more. I knew they had to be related!! 🤯😇
awesome finds! love the Hoyas! the publicalyx are so full and so much splashiness. I hope I'm able to find a curtisii & a micans in one of those pots as well, my wish list plants, so beautiful!! the only time 1 time i saw a micans at a lowes it was dead and not even on the clearance rack! wth!! 😮aww I'm so sorry your air plants got blown away!! yes that was a purple waffle plant, you know watchu talking bout😂. do you have an orchid care video? would love to start collecting them but know how to make them flower, to be able to enjoy the flower
If I go into the store & the plants are super trash I won’t even film. Probably others do the same so that’s why it seems that way 😅 I hope at some points tho you find good plants!!
Erika, Its been ten days girl. I'm starting to feel Lodes sick, please stop my withdrawals and hook me up with some more of that Erika Lodes PuhLEeeeez E
Got my plant shop for the week! Been real hit or miss lately at various stores and locations. Some plant types or varieties I just can't grow however. All part of the learning process. 🪴 🌿
lowes has been stepping up their game recently i keep finding so many wishlist plants!
Yesss I love it! I’m so excited to keep going back
Ugh I only have one in my area and it doesn't have the most exciting selection. I hope mine starts getting more!
Period
When she said her Air Plants blew away, I died!😂I'm sorry, but I found that hilarious! lol

Nice Spring houseplants tour. So many choices. Lowes have some good selections

I just got a really full Raphidophora for $4.74 at my local Walmart! 🥰 it’s so beautiful!!
🤣lol when you said your air plants blew away🌬️🌿
I’m still sad about it 🥺
The ficus was an “Altissima”! It was a wishlist plant and I found a small one at H‑E‑B for $5!
Wow such a good price for a wishlist plant!

That is the first thing I thought when I saw the soil it was in 😫 I’m glad your plant is recovering as long as you don’t lose it 💚

Oh thank you I couldn’t remember the name! Also I will look at that orchid bc I love them :-)
Aaaaand I will be buying the orchid hehe

Omg the micans! I’ve never seen one at a box store here 😭
I just got back from lowes with a Hoya ruba! First time I’ve seen a Hoya at my lowes and it was the last one
Love this video! Thanks for putting the name and price on the screen. That is super helpful
Purple Velvet was my fav
My Walmart NEVER has healthy looking plants or the variety that yours does...so disappointing. Love to go plant shopping with you!
Your lowes selection 😍 so jealous! We have like 100 of 5 different plants and that’s it 🥲
Hoping to find those Hoyas at my Lowes'
I got a giant monstera from Lowes this past week with no beat up leaves for $25 in PA. :O
Wow micans! What location?
I went to the same Walmart after finding the exact store in the comments and I got the last treubii!!!
Heck ya congrats!!! 🎉
Aww so jealous on micans, i was been looking for that here in our local but I can’t find one 😩
Most of these prices are scams so its great that you show the prices.
And thats also why they don't want you to show the prices. lmao
18:05 OMG You should have bought that fittonia!
I’ve filmed there so many times before tho so I was shook 😥 also I do not have patience for a fittonia lol
@@ErikaLodes Fittonia are so easy though. Just water every X amount of days. In my case 3 days before they droop.
Not in Cincinnati, they literally have not enough people to work the garden area so our plant selection here is the worst. Home depot is the #1 worst

I found a bunch of Monstera Peru’s at my Lowe’s for $19.98!
Omg!!!! I wish I found those before I bought it online
Not every 4 incher is little ok. 😂

Where is this lowes located? I'm on the hunt for treubii and can't find it here in LA ca. Thanks
The truebii she found was at a Walmart in Santa Clarita, I went today and got the last one
Was this all at Lowe’s? I’ve been looking for a moonlight, thanks!
So darn interesting seeing what other lowes offers.. these videos always do so well it’s crazy. :) thanks for sharing
the beeping made me go insane 😣😩
awesome finds! love the Hoyas! the publicalyx are so full and so much splashiness. I hope I'm able to find a curtisii & a micans in one of those pots as well, my wish list plants, so beautiful!!

I have been wanting a Micans for sooo long! 😍 Watch me go to Lowes and they not even having any 🤦🏻♀️
Dang, your lowes stores look amazing compared to mine! I would have taken 2 micans as well they looked really nice! Thanks for filming for us! 😊
Bib bib.. bib bib..
I Wonder IF The San Francisco Lowes Has FINALLY Gotten Some Planty Goodies In...
what is the location of the 3rd lowes?
Northridge
My PoO is always orange in it's new growth. They grow well for me too.
Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing new house plant shopping❤❤
It's tru bee eye,
Always love a “commons” tour and scavenger hunt !!! I do the same .
i saw a baltic blue pothos at lowes!
Omgggg did u get it? I hope I find one 😭
@@ErikaLodes no! it had bugs, but i’m meeting up with someone sunday for some bug-free cuttings! (i didn’t want to pay almost $20 for it either hahah)
Those Treubiis are gigantic. They looked good.
Wish my Lowes carried all the plants yours does. 💚
💚🌿🌱
🐻🐝🌲
I’d just like to know why my local plant stores are always such trash compared to everyone else’s 😭😭😭
If I go into the store & the plants are super trash I won’t even film. Probably others do the same so that’s why it seems that way 😅 I hope at some points tho you find good plants!!
Erika, Its been ten days girl. I'm starting to feel Lodes sick, please stop my withdrawals and hook me up with some more of that Erika Lodes PuhLEeeeez
E
Are you on the east or west coast? I live in Oregon and the Lowe’s near me never gets new plants
Southern California
@@ErikaLodes thank you! Maybe they’ll be sending cool new plants north soon.
Eriiiiiiiiiiiiiika...the best you are
Purple passion.i have one.gee it trails. Gorgeous .NZ
I’ve never seen a long one, it must be so pretty!
You are not afraid of the copyright music?
Not as of right now
wheres the location to the walmart you went to and the last lowes:
The Walmart was in Stevenson ranch & the lowes was in Northridge
Wait no the walmart was in Santa Clarita, the one one Carl Boyer dr
@@ErikaLodes on my way to Santa Clarita 🫡
What is the location of walmart??
Stevenson ranch
I just realized it’s not the one in stevenson ranch, it’s the one in Santa Clarita on Carl Boyer dr!!!
I found one today at Stevenson ranch
Oh thank goodness 😅
I keep trying to find some micans at lowes near me. Nothing yet.
I hope you’ll find some soon! I wasn’t expecting that at all
I wish we Lowe’s in Santa Barbara, all we have is Home Depot not even Walmart 😭
That is v shocking to hear o: sb probably doesn’t like Walmart vibes tho 😂
I randomly came across this video and yes I follow @emily d baker (mentioned in video) I’m a plant lady and law nerd
I know you're not hurting them, but the way u spin and whip some of the plants around has me cracking up for some reason 🤣😂🤣😂
Lol I don’t have the patience to be gentle 😂
@@ErikaLodes I feel that 🤣🤣
