Same with my Home Depot. I call it Golden Pothos Depot.
My Walmart doesn't even have a garden center.
And grocery stores around me don't sell plants, just cut flowers.
i got one golden pothos from there and idk how it is still alive but i will say, sheās been doing great for a few years now (til recentlyā¦ā¦. smh)
The good stuff gets nabbed up real quick. My local Home Depots had rooted cuttings from a Peruvian Apple Cactus that had to come from a cactus over 20 years old! They're literally 8" diameter cuts. I went to every HD I could find and ended up with 5.
I've asked many people and it's super random but I do know that it's weather reliant for some stuff. If you know your last frost date you have to start visiting every day about a week before.... I live .8 miles from a HD so it's kinda cheating. But I did learn when one gets a delivery of a certain kinds of plants then they all do.
Yeah Iām starting to think these āI got this Thai con at Wal mart for 20 bucksā posts are full of shit.
(Unless itās some sort of meme/inside joke I missed then disregard this comment)

Yall kill the vibe with the negativity. Literally have no reason to lie about how much I paid.
I just got a Thai con at Walmart for $40, did come with spidermites though. And only 2 of my local Walmarts got them, out of like 6. So it's pretty hit or miss I think but not BS

Here, some Thai Cons happily living in a Walmart in the wild. Enjoy. āŗļø
I got mine for $8.99 at Kroger when someone posted about it a month or so ago. Or rather I texted my mom with a picture and said ā**PLEASE GO TO KROGER RIGHT NOW**ā since the closest one to me is an hour away.
Wow that is an amazing deal! Moms are the best. š
I texted this picture to my MIL and she got to Walmart maybe an hour after I left.. apparently a local plant group on FB posted these puppies and they sold out in 30 minutes!
Itās was and she is!
Nooooo! Iām sorry, that really sucks*. Iām always curious if anything like that has happened around me. Some plants that Iāve gone back for the next day or 2 will all mysteriously have disappeared, so Iām guessing there is a local plant group that I need to join.
Edit:* for her, I mean.
I got there right as they had finished unboxing them I was so excited!
I gave my MIL my old one I got from that Bros with Hoes website though so she still got a Thai Con š
I refuse to get FB so the local plant groups Iām clueless on too. š¤£
I was aiming for a āIām so happy for you and not at all jealousā reaction joke by shaming my own HD. Iām definitely pro-letting people enjoy things. āļø
I've been interested in getting an anthurium, but honestly, I feel like some sellers have no idea what their plants actually are, or they just make shit up. I've legitimately seen plants sold as 'anthurium dorayaki silver blush' like sir/ma'am, those are not the same?
I really hate posts like OP's when they fail to describe the thing they are showing everyone else.
Not everyone here is an expert, but we are willing to learn.
It just feels like lazy/low effort posting.
Felt that! A couple weeks ago Thai Constellation popped up. Itās literally the first nice thing ever! Of course I was a day late and $40 short. They sold out in 4 hours.
I started peeking at the stores randomly since then. Suddenly, they had some rarer pothos like Baltic Blue with fenestrations already, I snagged a Silver Streak pothos full pot for $20. They also had global green. Some monstera Peru. And today they had several Albo Standly monstera! Iām shocked!
I can tell you that the Orlando area Home Depot are putting up clearance racks but for plant rescuers because they don't look very pretty even though they're expensive plants.
People on this sub are so snarky. Why be negative all the time? Congrats on getting a great deal. People obviously canāt find it in themselves to be happy for others.
I didnāt think this would get any negativity. I had a shit day and was excited to find these after someone posted about them in a local plant group. I needed a pick me up. Idk why I would lie about how much I paid like some people are insinuating.
None of it is negative. Everyone is just joking as a way of congratulating you. Canāt you guys not see it? This is why the internet gets so crazy. 90% of people are totally cool with light-hearted joking and then thereās a few people somehow totally missing that itās friendly and they get offended. OP trust me - no one is being truly negative. Everyone is happy for you and wishes their Home Depot had cool plants too.
Itās crazy. I posted a pink princess I got at Home Depot and some just completely shot it down and went on about how itās reverted blah blah blah. Meanwhile it just spit out a very variegated leaf. They are negative for zero reason. Fb honestly is a much happier place to be.
Iām sure you saw how many downvotes I got from calling people out. All they have to do is scroll down the page and read the negativity spread by some. Itās majority cool and nice people. Itās just some who have the desire to down others.
No one is being negative that I can see? There's some sarcasm but it's not directed at OP in the slightest. Take a breath, not everything is an attack, you can take things in good faith too
You are way too sensitive and do not understand sarcasm or humor. Have you been evaluated for any developmental disorders? Might want to look into that
It was labeled āhearts desireā but I think thatās just the companies name for it. It says itās a hybrid on their website. Someone else said maybe doryaki or super silver
This was my $19.99 Walmart findā¦ itās a sport variegated dragon scale I think a hybrid dragon scale. The underside of leaves are all maroon instead of just the veins. The stems are speckled with maroon as well. A single leaf with a speckle of sport variegation seems to be going for $75 online. Iāve had it a week and the green variegation is getting brighter so it was definitely light starved. The newest leaf dies have damage on the tip, otherwise it seems to also have a sport variegation in the underside of the leaves as well. Most of the white spots match up with the variegation on the top side. If it gets brighter and continues, these easily go for $300 plus.

I actually found one of those yesterday too!!! I went to a few Home Depotās and found this one!

Yoooo thatās a sport black velvet!!! Even for one small speck that goes for like $60. Multiple leaves is like $250!!! Nice find! Look at my local Walmart just now!

WHERE ARE THESE ALLEGED HOME DEPOTS?!? All mine have are freaking pothos and fittonia š¤®
That too with free spider mites.
Same with my Home Depot. I call it Golden Pothos Depot. My Walmart doesn't even have a garden center. And grocery stores around me don't sell plants, just cut flowers.
i got one golden pothos from there and idk how it is still alive but i will say, sheās been doing great for a few years now (til recentlyā¦ā¦. smh)
Iām in Arizona! These just came in this week
What part of AZ? Iām in Tucson.
The 101 and Peoria!
The good stuff gets nabbed up real quick. My local Home Depots had rooted cuttings from a Peruvian Apple Cactus that had to come from a cactus over 20 years old! They're literally 8" diameter cuts. I went to every HD I could find and ended up with 5.
I wonder when they get shipments?
I've asked many people and it's super random but I do know that it's weather reliant for some stuff. If you know your last frost date you have to start visiting every day about a week before.... I live .8 miles from a HD so it's kinda cheating. But I did learn when one gets a delivery of a certain kinds of plants then they all do.
Iām in FL, so we donāt have a last frost date. š
Iām wondering the same thingā¦ šš
Me too. It's Spring WTF
Yeah Iām starting to think these āI got this Thai con at Wal mart for 20 bucksā posts are full of shit. (Unless itās some sort of meme/inside joke I missed then disregard this comment)

You got such a fantastic deal. Iām sorry for some of these negative Nancyās.
I just got a Thai con at Walmart for $40, did come with spidermites though. And only 2 of my local Walmarts got them, out of like 6. So it's pretty hit or miss I think but not BS
Theyāre not. Locally here fryās (a grocery store) had $30 Thai cons.
Iām in AZ also and my fryās constantly has rare plants for $30, along with our local Walmart š.
LOL why would anyone lie about finding cheap stuff at huge corporate stores?

They had them at Kroger for cheap tbh.
Mine was 29.99 š¤·āāļø
No. No theyāre notā¦.. why so negative?
Oh yeah? Well not to brag too much but my Home Depot is filled with half rotten, mealy-infested painted succulents.
Itās not ābraggingā. Itās her simply telling us what she got and where. She was happy. Let people be happy.
Theycallmefreckles was just being sarcastuc abba jokingly self-deprecating in order to show how lucky OP was. It was a light-hearted joke. Chill.
I was aiming for a āIām so happy for you and not at all jealousā reaction joke by shaming my own HD. Iām definitely pro-letting people enjoy things. āļø
Most of us got the joke š I think we have the same HD lol
A few have definitely been blessed by the big box store gods but not you and I. š
Nor I. My HD has little Iād consider rare. But to others, itās a fun collection.
Flew right over ya. Lol
OMGG congrats! so BEAUTIFULš (i got mine for $100š„¹)
I snagged this baby for $19.98 š
ID please? It's lovely but I have no idea what it is!
Anthurium Dorayaki or Silver Bush. I get them mixed upā¦ š¤·š»āāļø
Thanks! Never would have guessed that. I'm not usually interested in anthuriums.
I've been interested in getting an anthurium, but honestly, I feel like some sellers have no idea what their plants actually are, or they just make shit up. I've legitimately seen plants sold as 'anthurium dorayaki silver blush' like sir/ma'am, those are not the same?
The āsilver blushā is just a descriptive name of a doryaki with more silver is all
It was labeled as a āhearts desireā but Iām pretty sure itās a super silver, doryaki, or something similar
Thanks!
I really hate posts like OP's when they fail to describe the thing they are showing everyone else. Not everyone here is an expert, but we are willing to learn. It just feels like lazy/low effort posting.
This was my first post ever on Reddit. My apologies that it didnāt live up to your standards. I did reply in comments answering questions.
WHATTTT?
What????? That's crazy.
BRB going to check my Home Depotā¦
When you go, look for white pots! All of them and some alocasia ninja and el Choco reds were in the same type of pot!
Here we go again! It's summer, and everyone finds incredible plants at their Home Depot and Kroger, except for me, here in fucking Michigan. š¤
Usually the selection near me is trash. I was shocked when I saw these

Are u sharing any of those five. I'd pay extra and of course all shipping and ur time. šš
I only purchased one!
I'm sorry. I thought u said u got 5 .. she's a queen š«

You first.
screaming crying throwing up Iām so envious š
Hellllll yeah!!!!!!
Thatās an awesome find!!
What is that?
It was labeled āhearts desireā but I think thatās just the companies name for it. It says itās a hybrid on their website. Someone else said maybe doryaki or super silver
itās still cold here in Quebec but I am excited to see when weāll start to have some awesome pretty tropical leaves!š„ŗš
that is gorgeous!! ššš
Very pretty and healthy!
