Ethics check!!! I was at the grocery store (large chain) and there was a pretty decent sized succulent that had broken off from its base. I debated putting it in my purse bc I know it will just get thrown away but then I got self conscious because it’s right by the entrance door and cameras….. stealing or saving?!?

    You should ask an employee before taking it. Then, it is no longer stolen. Btw, Planta’s policy does not allow posts about the plant you “prop-lifted.” I assume the discussions on the ethics of prop-lifting is acceptable. I don’t really know. I’m not part of this app’s staff.

    Ohhh good thought! Also- good to know re: the policy on prop-lifting talk! FWIW… I wimped out and didn’t take it. It felt too much of a gray area

    I always find the same plant and stuff the broken piece back in the soil. That way it gets a chance at life and the next person has no guilt 🤣

    Yep just ask an employee (in the garden section if they have one). Different stores have different policies on that, but most of the time they'll allow it. Also you can ask the employees when they throw out unsold or half dead plants as they clear out for new stock and get either freebies or significant discounts when they clear out what they normally have to write off as waste

      I just got a silver dragon and a Miri for $10 each because they had leaf damage and were headed for the trash

    Stealing - ask a cashier first. I've done it and they always tell me to take it.
