I love your enthusiasm! Your meltdown moment was so charming, and I can certainly relate. I had my own mini meltdown moments in Home Depot when they had so many lovelies and had to tell myself to calm down.
I love your great enthusiasm and how you get short of breath from your excitement. It’s very contagious and I love it. Thank you for your wonderful tours and of course we get it.
Oh, I do it ALL THE TIME! I've even taken photos and posted in my local big box group!! 😂 #noshame I also happen to work for Lowe's so, I'm constantly checking! If I work, sometimes I'll check before and after work! Yeah, I have a problem.
Ashley, you're my "Angel"! I saw this video 2 hours after it dropped and I quickly made my way to the Monroe Walmart. I grabbed the Crimson Princess Hoya you had in your hand ...it was the only one (I didn't have one) and snapped up the one remaining Monstera Cobra. I got the "plain Jane" one that had no big white splotches ..the rightmost one in your video. But beggars can't be choosers. On my way out, I was stopped by a young woman, who had also watched your video, eyeing my plants, who had driven from South Charlotte hoping to get the variegated MC but I had to tell her they were all gone. Did you go today Friday, or yesterday? A lady who worked there told me the shipment came in yesterday (Thurs). If you had gone last week to this store, the shelves were practically empty! You are my "Lucky Charm" for those rare, big box surprises. My Global Green and Baltic Blue Pothos that you found at Target last February are doing great! Thank you so much for these great finds! 😍👍
That’s awesome! I think that plant will put out good variegation quick, it has very stable variegation so it shouldn’t matter if it’s not quite showing it yet. Awesome find!
Omg! I absolutely adore your enthusiasm! No one gets the such satisfaction from plants! I love shopping for plants this brings me so much Joy! Thank you for sharing your plant passion!
I am hollaring buy them all!!!!Clear from Pennsylvania can you hear me?Winter sucks my stores don’t have anything!!!!Buy them all so I can live vicariously through you!!!!!!!
Your excitement at the albo standleyana made me physically smile so much. It's such real enthusiasm. ...and now I have to go to every Walmart in the Chattanooga area. Keeping my fingers crossed.
I went to Lowes today and was thrilled to find a variegated prayer plant! Since I had just watched your video I knew it was a great find and I snatched it up. There were about 5 others there and none were variegated. Mine is quite a bit more variegated than the one you found. I love these plants and I feel like I scored today! So fun. Thank you for your videos, I'm learning a lot! Getting back into house plants after some hiatus. I'm obsessed!
So exciting that you found that Monstera cobra! Your enthusiasm is contagious. I thought for sure you would get 2 of them. I am so excited to go out and look in my area.
Great finds! Super jealous for your area gets way better shipment of plants! The orchid cactus is an amazing plant and so easy to propagate. Any broken or “not so pretty” leaves I stick right back in the soil. They root so fast!❤️
I have a massive night blooming cereus and I love it. It propagates VERY easily--in water or straight into soil. You can propagate the skinny shoots it sends out, or the flat leaves. It likes more water than a typical cactus or succulent since it's an epiphyte. I let it dry completely before watering, though. In the summer I put mine out (I have three now, because they prop so easily) on my back porch in direct sun and they go BANANAS. You have to acclimate them to the sun after the winter though. Mine have never bloomed but I'm hoping this is the year! Also, they tend to grow in just bizarre shapes and directions. I prune mine a lot. Also, mine often get spiders, too! (Not spider mites thank goodness.) I don't know why, but they seem to love the nooks and crannies to live in. I hope you enjoy yours!
So...funny story. I watched this an hour after you posted it yesterday. And I was so excited about the Standleyana that I stopped the video, got in my car, and drove to Wal-Mart. Only to discover that the Wal-Mart closest to my house (I live in Chapel Hill, the Wal-Mart is in Durham) has...oh...maybe ten plants? Maybe fifteen? It was all golden pothos and ponytail palms and while they all looked very healthy, it was a very sad display. It's crazy how much difference there is from location to location for all of these big box retailers. Alas, I love the hunt, and I will not be thwarted. Now to embark on my tour of central NC Wal-Marts!
OMG Ashley! Best plant shopping and haul! I would have grabbed up that Epiphyllum in a heartbeat. I hear people call them commonly as Queen of the Night (due to when it blooms) and orchid cacti. One RUclips creater said they do really well with high humidity and blooms once a year. Hope it blooms more than that because she is a gorgous plant. I was screaming when you got so excited when you saw the Monstera Standleyana! I would have grabbed both of the two you had together on the floor and put them in different rooms because they are so beautiful and hard to find. Better odds that at least one would survive as they are new to me. You are so lucky Charlotte has so many big box and plant shops with tons of plants. In the northeast the big box shops have almost nothing. Just last week I asked at Lowes when were they getting more houseplants and the lady said not until March! Home Depot follows the same. As if we don't shop for plants in cooler weather. Up here Lowes and Home Depot only dedicate a small corner to plants unless they get in a special shipment. Loved your adventure and plant haul! I learn so much from you.
I found my syngonium wendlandii at Wal-Mart last weekend! Then i found a syngonium orm manee at my grocery store! What a week!.My Lowes told me they are getting new plants on 1/17 and I'm chomping at the bit to see them!
Awesome finds Ashley! Me too! At my local Walmart about 2-weeks ago (Northeast Pennsylvania) I brought home huge hanging baskets of the lemon lime Maranta, Cebu blue pothos, large pots of the Silver Dragon, Monstera Cobra, and a Chameleon ZZ Plant. I love plant shopping with you! Thanks for bringing me along!
This is why I'm always been telling you for the last three years going on for years to give Walmart a chance because I'm always finding great plants and those plants are very nice
The Lowe's in Indiana rarely have good plants this time of year but it's colder here than where you are and the chance of frost bite or cold damage is huge. I would love to be in the Carolinas right now.
Night blooming cactus is ridiculously easy. I have the ones my Meemaw had pics of blooms from the 70s. Blooms like crazy when you neglect and then water. I have them in the yard.
I have one of those dottie calathea u was talking about. SOOOOOO easy! Have had for bout 3 mths. Already have had new growth! .... omg u are cracking me up! I hope they have this kind of stuff wen i got spring plant shopping. That albo monstera!!! .... love how excited u get! My aunt is only person who understands me. We go shopping together.
Hi Ashley nice shopping around so nice to see the plants u find at the big box stores I love it it. My favorite pick was the Stanleyanna I would have bought 2 of them and combine them. The orchid cactus you should take it out of the pot and place it on some news paper with out the pot and let it dry out. All the leaves that you trimmed once they are green and healthy just let them callus for a day or 2 and put them back in the cactus soil
That Standleyana is beautiful! I personally love the aurea variegated but the albo is amazing too. Today I went to Walmart for a few groceries and decided to check out the plants because I saw the luck you had. I was able to find a Monstera Peru and it was the first time I’ve even seen them in person. Congrats on your find!!
All I can think of it’s a red Congo. I’ve been looking for one to go with my prince of orange. I’m so jealous you found one and at that insane price. I live in Gulf breeze Florida an hour east of Mobil Al so I’ll definitely keep looking. I always love watching all your shopping episodes
Night blooming orchid cactus grows fast. It's thirstier then you would think. I have 20 4" full plants I've made from mine and haven't got around to selling them. I'm going to tag you on IG on my other kind I traded one for and now it's huge. I was just as excited when I found my first one in a grocery store!!! About fell over!
New subscriber- My husband moved me to a tiny rural town. Closest Walmart is over an hour away and closest big box store is 3 hours away. Plus we are up north so plant pickings are pretty slim rn! So I really enjoyed this good long shopping trip!!!
Hello and Thank you Ashley!!! I watched your previous video and because of it I decided to stop by Lowe's this week. They didn't have that many plants, but... they had a beautiful Scindapsus treubii 'Moonlight'. I had been looking for it forever, and finally found it!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!
When I was in Canada I had a beautiful Epiphyllum that had a double white flower. It would wake me up during the night because of the perfume! Divine!! I would take pictures of the many flowers, I knew that it would not be as nice in the morning. Here in Europe I did buy one that turned out to be a single and the perfume is not strong. I put the plant outside in a shady place in summer and am giving home made fish tea, seam to love the tea.
Great finds, love the standlyana. I have one for few years now. Mine has good variagation but leaves are not as big as yours. The only thing is that they need lots of light otherwise they will grow runners. So keep it in bright light and just moderate watering like any other monstera. Good luck and happy growing 😀.
I started off today looking at Home Depot's garden section. I found a few Calathea Musaicas. I had a few of them side by side trying to decide which one to buy. Then I decided to wait and see if I could find a smaller one. I headed to Lowe's and found a few for $4 less than Home Depot, so I picked out the one that had a couple of newer leaves. No smaller than the ones at Home Depot, though. But my surprise moment happened first, just outside the garden center. There were Plumerias there! I usually have to go to my local plant nursery to see Plumerias OR to very special exclusively Plumerias nursery, where the price is out of my budget. These were mini Plumerias, Rhapsody, described a miniature with light pink flowers (according to the picture on the tag) and a couple of other ones with deeper pink flowers, Dulcemia, described as compact with deeper pink flowers (again, shown on the tag). I couldn't believe it. I've been afraid to buy a Plumeria because I'm afraid my balcony (south facing) doesn't get enough sunlight. These need six hours of direct sunlight. Maybe my Plumeria can live in a spot in my daughter's and son-in-law's sunny yard, and I can just visit and tend to it the days I babysit the grandchildren. I might have to go back to that Lowe's (or see if my neighborhood Lowe's has them too!). I'd better not wait too long. Those things might be more desirable than I realize. They were $29.98 each.
Oh that Stanleyanna is gorgeous. Last time I checked my Walmart they had very few plants. Also loved the queen of the night. I have one but it’s only a cutting given to me 2 years ago and only started growing arms this fall.
Omgosh!!! I literally would have freaked out too if I saw a Stanlyana like that. I’ve been trying to grow 2 little ones I love them! So in the beginning of your video I saw a snippet of the variegated Maranta and I was like what?? Fluke find! So fun you got it for $2!!
i had gotten a philo brandi at my local grocery few months ago. it had severe root rot due to overwatering when i got it. i spent a while trying to revive it but it ended up dying, i haven’t been able to find a new once since but this video helped me know where to look!
I got a 2in baby plant about 3 months ago. I didn't know what it was and now I do! It's a type of lipstick plant and she's sending out blooms for me 😍 love her so much and I treat her like Hoyas. Happy lil plant
Your excitement was so cute! I got the saddest red maranta from Lowes clearance for $1. After I cut off the dead leaves, it had 3 leaves left. A year later, it is so happy and healthy.
I found the variegated Standleyana at WalMart in Bay City ,Tx and it has 2 long running vines on it, I was so excited I couldn’t believe my eyes so I understand your excitement and I love your plant videos.!!
I’m so glad I found your channel! I’m not far from Charlotte either! I started my “plant journey” a few years ago and have SO MUCH to learn. Right now I have about 50 plants 🪴 I can totally relate to the excitement too! 😊
You should absolutely try the Trending Tropicals Calathea. Not only are they gorgeous, they are super easy to take care of. No where near as fickle as other Calathea brands!
You are so blessed to have great big box store plant finds in your area. I love in Michigan and where I am the selection is awful. The closest Walmart to us have a terrible selection and most of the time the plants are half dead. Our Lowes is not to bad it’s a crapshoot in finding good healthy plants. I think I need to maybe travel out of my area a bit to find better selection. I love your excitement of these beautiful plants. It’s adorable!! And yes I surely get it!!!!
I have a plant friend who really wants one of the standleyanas. We've both been to just about every Walmart in a 30-mile radius to find one for her. I hope there will be more!
The orchid cacti need chunky light well draining soil. Let the soil dry out completely before giving a good watering. Treat as a Hoya except semi shaded location as they will burn.
I have been wanting a zz chameleon for a while . It’s a new plant so I haven’t seen it out but I did find them online for 50 dollars , 75 dollars and up . I was at Walmart and they had a very little rack of plants but I had them all ! I happened to look behind the black zz plants and there was 3 zz chameleon plants for 20 dollars . I just got so excited !!
I always pick the plants I want right away. I would be scared someone would get it. It would make me too nervous to look through the whole store then go back lol
Love your videos! Thanks for sharing your plant shopping. I can totally understand your excitement finding "the" p;ant! Our Walmarts here are always empty in the plant section. Maybe I just go at a wrong time or an off time for their re stocking. Definitely haven't found M. standleyana for $20. It's $99 online.
So jealous of the selection, I'm trying to go to Charlotte at the end of the month to visit my parent and debating between flying and driving, it's a long drive but then I could bring back plants!!
Our Lowe’s had a major cold snap in their plant shop their furnace quit working so all plants were clearance price some were worth saving 30 dollar plants were 2.00 so I picked up a few I thought was worth saving I was talking to the ordering manager and was telling him some plants I would like to see them get I had to smile because we were in the shop looking plants up on line he was getting really excited about them because he had never heard of them I said trust me they would be fast sellers
The Lowe's in your area are absolutely amazing!!! The Lowe's by where I live have a couple half dead plants with over-watered orchids. Sadly our Walmart and Home Depot aren't much better.
love you you get soooo excited when you see the plants!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 hilarious! I have some plants here and finally got a zz plant a few years ago. I saw a huge one in a hotel in France 20 years ago and couldn’t find it here… then when I did started seeing them they were sooo expensive. Finalize hot one I think at Home Depot… for about $10. And a nice size… at first I had it outside, but I don’t think it likes outside… so I have it in my office… doesn’t like to be moved.. I’m now turning into a plant lady!!! I found some nice plants in the clearance area… those just need a little TLC. How do you know the names of the plants? Wow!!! Between my pets… 6 cats & 1 dog.. all rescues… now my plants… I should be a happy camper🥰 I’m sooo excited.Thanks for sharing!!! New subbie from Tampa Florida 🌴
The night blooming cactus can slowly be moved into full sun without burning. They grow like crazy here in Florida! The “leaves” turn a really pretty red when they are sun stressed. There’s also different color flowers. The most common is white, but the pink is amazing too! From my experience they open around midnight. The blooms are really pretty pink before the flower opens. The flower texture looks similar to a Christmas cactus except it is huge! The leaves also root really easily. You can literally break them off and stick them back into the soil. I could’ve sent you a ton of cuttings 😆😆
The scent of the bloom is intoxicating and it only blooms for one night so don’t miss it! My mom has a huge one that only blooms one night a year and I always have to go there to get a whiff of the amazing scent.
I totally understand same thing happens to me I find something I really want and then find it I was laughing when you found that plant😂 thank you for taking us along so happy for you
I would not have been able to walk away from the Manjula Pothos, or that Standleyana. So many nice plants to choose from. I'm long overdue for a plant shop. Our Walmart's up here dont get many plants over winter, just some for Lunar New Year but nothing until April/May otherwise.
I’m finding a few of those variegated marantas at Lowe’s. And not just a little variegation, but big white streaks, maybe half of the plant will be variegated. I think it’s on purpose, maybe growers are putting a sprig of variegation in the plant to entice us to buy 🤷♀️
There are two plants that look similar that people call night blooming cactus however the true night blooming plant belongs to the cereus family. Many people confuse the cereus with the epiphyllum. The plants look similar but the epiphyllum blooms can live several nights.
What a great find! I also have a small standleyana albo but I got a decent deal on it ($35 or so in 2021). No half moons on it though. I'll have to keep my eye out for these!

😊 thank you
I bring my toddler plant shopping, bless him. We will walk into a plant shop and he will be calling the plants by name with excitement 😂😂
@@dmtmn1590 that is adorable!! A future botanist in the making lol
I love your enthusiasm! Your meltdown moment was so charming, and I can certainly relate. I had my own mini meltdown moments in Home Depot when they had so many lovelies and had to tell myself to calm down.
Haha glad I’m not the only one!!
I love your great enthusiasm and how you get short of breath from your excitement. It’s very contagious and I love it. Thank you for your wonderful tours and of course we get it.
😊 thank you
i would be snooping in all those unopened boxes they had at walmart lol
My wife has
Oh, I do it ALL THE TIME! I've even taken photos and posted in my local big box group!! 😂 #noshame
I also happen to work for Lowe's so, I'm constantly checking! If I work, sometimes I'll check before and after work! Yeah, I have a problem.
Hahaha it was hard not to rip them open!!

ahhhhh at minute 9 second 10 you showed the red leaf prayer plant I picked up a couple of weeks ago, it’s really beautiful and easy care
My heart and mind get so overwhelmed with how wonderful and great my God is - looking at all these plants and their beauty!
Thanks for watching!

I love plant shopping with you! Thanks for bringing me along!
Amazing finds!!
Omg so exciting you updated ! Ahhh you got so lucky ! Glad NC bigbox are bringing more variety of plants now
Me too!!
This is why I'm always been telling you for the last three years going on for years to give Walmart a chance because I'm always finding great plants and those plants are very nice
Definitely!!
I’m the same way! I’m so happy to see other people get it! Love your haul. 🪴🌵
Yay! Thank you!
I am so jealous of your finds!!! Just discovered your channel and subbed!! ❤️
Thanks for subbing!
Fantastic plant shopping video! Many thanks for sharing. So many gorgeous plants. Very enjoyable to watch! 👌🪴🥰
Thanks for watching!
Ashley, thank you for all you do. Because of this video, I am now a proud owner of a Monstera Cobra for $20. I appreciate you!
That is awesome!

You just literally found one of my dream plants to find! 😢 supper happy for you! ❤ take them all lol send me one 🤭😅 in LOVE!!
Hope you find one soon!
Yay! New video! I’m just watching your old shopping videos playlist while working. 😅
Yay! Thank you!
I have 3. Very easy care. Takes 5 years to bloom. Good luck.
omgg! i got one a couple months ago from the costa farms website, but it's absolutely insane that they are in big box stores now!
Right?!
Great finds, love the standlyana. I have one for few years now. Mine has good variagation but leaves are not as big as yours.

Got a peace lily from Walmart about a month ago that was 12 dollars! They were going to throw it away 😢, she’s so happy now in my office
You know it's a great plant find when you're out of breathe! So jealous over here but CONGRATS on the Standleyana 🎊
Thank you!! 😊
I scored two monstera standleyana albo with 3 in each pot yesterday at Wal-Mart.❤
I just moved to Clt and def have to check out those places for plants. Omg is that a queen of night?? I have one and love it.
Oh that Stanleyanna is gorgeous. Last time I checked my Walmart they had very few plants. Also loved the queen of the night. I have one but it’s only a cutting given to me 2 years ago and only started growing arms this fall.
Oh wow!
Omgosh!!! I literally would have freaked out too if I saw a Stanlyana like that. I’ve been trying to grow 2 little ones I love them! So in the beginning of your video I saw a snippet of the variegated Maranta and I was like what?? Fluke find! So fun you got it for $2!!
Right?!
i had gotten a philo brandi at my local grocery few months ago. it had severe root rot due to overwatering when i got it. i spent a while trying to revive it but it ended up dying, i haven’t been able to find a new once since but this video helped me know where to look!
Glad I could help!
I got a 2in baby plant about 3 months ago. I didn't know what it was and now I do! It's a type of lipstick plant and she's sending out blooms for me 😍 love her so much and I treat her like Hoyas. Happy lil plant
Love it!!
WHAAAAAAT?! That is absolutely insane 🤩 Congratulations on that stanleyana find! I squealed right along with you!
Thanks!!
Your excitement was so cute!
I got the saddest red maranta from Lowes clearance for $1. After I cut off the dead leaves, it had 3 leaves left. A year later, it is so happy and healthy.
That’s wonderful!
Love, Love, Love your channel ... so wish our big box stores here in Canada had tropical sections as beautiful as in your home town 😍
Thank you so much!
Night queen flowers are beautiful like lotus. People who own it will wait till midnight to watch it bloom. Good choices as always.
I would love to witness that!
I live zone 11, and I keep my Calatheas in the shade outdoors and away from wind.
Thanks for the tips!
I found the variegated Standleyana at WalMart in Bay City ,Tx and it has 2 long running vines on it, I was so excited I couldn’t believe my eyes so I understand your excitement and I love your plant videos.!!
That is awesome!
Now you are going to make me go looking for more plants. I can’t believe that Standleyana!
Crazy right?!
I’m so glad I found your channel! I’m not far from Charlotte either! I started my “plant journey” a few years ago and have SO MUCH to learn. Right now I have about 50 plants 🪴
I can totally relate to the excitement too! 😊
That is awesome!
always love your plant shopping video! and it makes me happy seeing you so excited! I would be too!!
Yay! Thank you!
You should absolutely try the Trending Tropicals Calathea. Not only are they gorgeous, they are super easy to take care of. No where near as fickle as other Calathea brands!
You are so blessed to have great big box store plant finds in your area. I love in Michigan and where I am the selection is awful. The closest Walmart to us have a terrible selection and most of the time the plants are half dead. Our Lowes is not to bad it’s a crapshoot in finding good healthy plants. I think I need to maybe travel out of my area a bit to find better selection. I love your excitement of these beautiful plants. It’s adorable!! And yes I surely get it!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Found a few Pink Princes Philodendron at my local Walmart today!!!
Woo hoo!
I love your hair and make up today! can't wait to see Standleyana at Raleigh Walmart!
Thanks for the kind words! :)
I have a plant friend who really wants one of the standleyanas. We've both been to just about every Walmart in a 30-mile radius to find one for her. I hope there will be more!
SIlvery Ann is less common than argyraeus. I'm pretty sure Exotic Angel (aka Costa Farms) only grows argyraeus.
I hope you find one soon!! 💚💚💚
The orchid cacti need chunky light well draining soil. Let the soil dry out completely before giving a good watering. Treat as a Hoya except semi shaded location as they will burn.
Thanks for the tips!
I love your plants and your displays only wish that my mom would let me get more plants lol I will go crazy in a plant store if I could LOL😅
I have been wanting a zz chameleon for a while . It’s a new plant so I haven’t seen it out but I did find them online for 50 dollars , 75 dollars and up . I was at Walmart and they had a very little rack of plants but I had them all ! I happened to look behind the black zz plants and there was 3 zz chameleon plants for 20 dollars . I just got so excited !!
Aww congratulations!!
I always pick the plants I want right away. I would be scared someone would get it. It would make me too nervous to look through the whole store then go back lol
Love your videos! Thanks for sharing your plant shopping. I can totally understand your excitement finding "the" p;ant! Our Walmarts here are always empty in the plant section. Maybe I just go at a wrong time or an off time for their re stocking. Definitely haven't found M. standleyana for $20. It's $99 online.
Hopefully you can find one soon. Thank you for watching!
So jealous of the selection, I'm trying to go to Charlotte at the end of the month to visit my parent and debating between flying and driving, it's a long drive but then I could bring back plants!!
❤️
Love your excitement!!!
Thank you!
Wow, exciting! I hope our stores get some plants in soon!
I hope so too!
Good choice. 😍 I 💘 any kind of plants thank u for sharing
Thanks Nilda!
Night blooming cactus can be in full sun in my porch outside during summer East side.
Thanks for the tip!!
In the fall before winter a few weeks ago, I found a global green pothos and that same day I also found a pothos called silver streak
Great finds!
Well I always like it when you go to Walmart mango plant shopping because that's where I get most of my plants and the prices to me are really great🌿
Love that!
You made me smile. It's so true only plant people get it.
💚💚💚
I love your videos and was so happy for you when you found that amazing score.
Thank you!
The WalMart Monstera Standleyana albo is of such a good price!
Absolutely, I was shocked!
Our Lowe’s had a major cold snap in their plant shop their furnace quit working so all plants were clearance price some were worth saving 30 dollar plants were 2.00 so I picked up a few I thought was worth saving I was talking to the ordering manager and was telling him some plants I would like to see them get I had to smile because we were in the shop looking plants up on line he was getting really excited about them because he had never heard of them I said trust me they would be fast sellers
Love that!
Ashley, I was out of breath with you upon seeing that plant at Walmart Monstera Stanley 😍♥️😍
Hahaha 🤣
The Lowe's in your area are absolutely amazing!!! The Lowe's by where I live have a couple half dead plants with over-watered orchids. Sadly our Walmart and Home Depot aren't much better.
💚💚
love you you get soooo excited when you see the plants!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 hilarious! I have some plants here and finally got a zz plant a few years ago. I saw a huge one in a hotel in France 20 years ago and couldn’t find it here… then when I did started seeing them they were sooo expensive. Finalize hot one I think at Home Depot… for about $10. And a nice size… at first I had it outside, but I don’t think it likes outside… so I have it in my office… doesn’t like to be moved.. I’m now turning into a plant lady!!! I found some nice plants in the clearance area… those just need a little TLC. How do you know the names of the plants? Wow!!! Between my pets… 6 cats & 1 dog.. all rescues… now my plants… I should be a happy camper🥰
I’m sooo excited.Thanks for sharing!!!
New subbie from Tampa Florida 🌴
Welcome!! 💚💚💚
The night blooming cactus can slowly be moved into full sun without burning. They grow like crazy here in Florida! The “leaves” turn a really pretty red when they are sun stressed. There’s also different color flowers. The most common is white, but the pink is amazing too! From my experience they open around midnight. The blooms are really pretty pink before the flower opens. The flower texture looks similar to a Christmas cactus except it is huge! The leaves also root really easily. You can literally break them off and stick them back into the soil. I could’ve sent you a ton of cuttings 😆😆
Thank you so much for the tips!
The scent of the bloom is intoxicating and it only blooms for one night so don’t miss it! My mom has a huge one that only blooms one night a year and I always have to go there to get a whiff of the amazing scent.
I would've gotten both of those standleyana they are soooooo pretty! I hope they show up in a store near me soon!
💚💚
I totally understand same thing happens to me I find something I really want and then find it I was laughing when you found that plant😂 thank you for taking us along so happy for you
Thanks Barbara!
Beautiful finds and what great prices, I love them all.
Thanks so much!
I found a 10" bird of paradise at Aldis yesterday for $14. I yanked it so fast. I have a small bird I got from a shop for $40. Wild.
Great find!
Love your excitement. I would've been the same way. Thank you for a wonderful shopping trip.
Thanks for watching!
Going to Walmart to buy my first house plant today. Well, second also have to get stuff to replant my orchid I am nervous 😬.
We hope to see you this year at TPIE
Aw thanks Billy! I’m so sad that I’m not going to be able to make it this year.
Omg omg omg!!! I wish California Walmarts start selling those! I’d love to get my hands on one of those standleyanas!
Hope you find one!!
I would not have been able to walk away from the Manjula Pothos, or that Standleyana. So many nice plants to choose from. I'm long overdue for a plant shop. Our Walmart's up here dont get many plants over winter, just some for Lunar New Year but nothing until April/May otherwise.
Hopefully some come in soon for you!
I can’t wait to go to Walmart and Lowes!! 🫶🏼💚🪴
❤️
I’m finding a few of those variegated marantas at Lowe’s. And not just a little variegation, but big white streaks, maybe half of the plant will be variegated. I think it’s on purpose, maybe growers are putting a sprig of variegation in the plant to entice us to buy 🤷♀️
Amazing!
There are two plants that look similar that people call night blooming cactus however the true night blooming plant belongs to the cereus family. Many people confuse the cereus with the epiphyllum. The plants look similar but the epiphyllum blooms can live several nights.
Thanks for the tips!
What a great find! I also have a small standleyana albo but I got a decent deal on it ($35 or so in 2021). No half moons on it though. I'll have to keep my eye out for these!
💚💚💚
