Why are you digging plants out of the ground for?!?! That’s horrible!!!

because i was in the jungle on top of a 4,000 ft volcano, in the wild. who wouldn’t?

Anybody with a conscience. It’s one of the most unethical things you can do regarding plants.

#### tayterrtot replied on 2023-06-26

eh, the entire top of the mountain was covered in them. it’s really not that big of a deal. it’s not like i’m flying it to a different country. 😂

??? where do you think nursery plants come from????

#### Sadamber replied on 2023-06-29

Not pulled from the ground!!! Real nurseries ethically source their plants. They are raised from seed or cloning or dividing. Do you have no idea how the industry works? Sure, some are unethical, but most are ethical.
