I’ve actually had very good luck with Home Depot and plants.

Me too! Big plants just tend to have been grown in perfect conditions so its always a risk bringing them home😪

True, but the workers aren’t always the best with plants so I feel it helps prep them for when I get too lazy to water and they go a day without it. The only thing they aren’t prepped for is my dog trying to take them out of the pots! 😂

I have good luck at big box stores. I can’t complain.

Nothing wrong with buying them from there, just make sure it has no pests, as they usually don’t check for those
