Hi! I’m Brittany, and I’m new to Planta. 👋🏼 I’ll start by saying: I need a shock collar that prevents me from going down plant aisles. 😂 Went to Walmart to get bird seed, which is conveniently next to all of their planters. Got a few cute planters, which clearly meant I needed to find plants to fill them. Meet my five new plant children (names in purple) and their plant siblings also in that room (names in blue). 🪴❤️ I now have 44 house plants and counting. 🫠 I’ve given my friends my full permission to step in and have an intervention with me. 😂

    Your monstera is not a Swiss cheese it’s a deliciosa. They are gorgeous though!

      Thank you! And I stand corrected! It’s how it’s labeled on Planta, so I went with it. 😆 I do have an actual Swiss Cheese Monstera (Adansonii) in a different room, though!

    Swiss cheese plant has been the common name for monsteras, in general. It’s because all the popular varieties have large holes in the leaves.

      Makes sense! It’s definitely a suiting nickname for them! ☺️ Even though I have a ton of house plants, I’m still learning names and such.

      I didn’t fool with scientific names until I got a lot of plants online. Sometimes using only the common names means I miss out when searching for plants on sale. I now do multiple searches with common names, scientific names and misspellings!😄 Misspelled plants get discounted because they don’t appear in standard searches and can take longer to sell.

      That’s really good to know with the misspellings! I’ll keep that in mind the next time I’m searching for plants online!

      Thanks! I do something that I like to call “plant and pray” - plant something and pray it works out. 😆 So far, so good, but I’m hoping Planta will take some of the guesswork out of the plant care. Lol

      I'll have to go look again! I might hit up a Home Depot a little further from me

    My local Walmart garden center keeps marking all their tropicals down to $5 because they dont take care of them and they don't sell fast. I'm constantly in there looking through everything. Also Walmart totally upped their planter game this year all for mostly under $10 and you just can't beat it!

      Yes! I got a couple of mine at Walmart. I know the Silver Monstera is from there, and I know I got others from there, but I can’t remember which ones. The five newbies came from Home Depot – I’ve surprisingly found a lot of hidden gems at Home Depot!

      I'm on the hunt for peperomia's at my local garden centers. So far haven't seen any, but I've heard they carry them sometimes. My Walmart had a silver sword philidendron and I almost got it but I had to stop myself due to lack of space haha

      You have more self control than I do! I ran out of space a long time ago. 😂 As far as peperomias, try Home Depot! I have three, and I believe I got all three from there. I believe the varieties I have are a string of coins, a rubber plant and a “red margin.”

      I love the discount racks at Home Depot at the end of season while they get ready for the fall holidays. I got the biggest plants for $10 or less!
