I have spent over 70$ on a single plant.  
it’s definitely worth it!

I was like I really want it but do I need it! I don’t need it but it’s a little summer treat!

### SuccySuccy commented on 2026-07-09

lol I just dropped 100 on a Thai con. You good!

#### I love plants replied on 2026-07-10

I don’t think I could ever spend $100 on a plant!!!!

#### SuccySuccy replied on 2026-07-10

That’s what I thought too 😅 honestly was a steal at 20% off

### LHgirl commented on 2026-07-09

Absolutely! My zz plant was my first ever plant that started my plant mama journey.

#### I love plants replied on 2026-07-10

I have heard that they are impossible to kill!

#### LHgirl replied on 2026-07-10

They are super low maintenance and really hardy. Mine is a bit on the fritz at the moment but I’ve had him for over a year and half and this the first time he’s gotten sick.

### Sara commented on 2026-07-09

I love my ZZ plants, I have two. My most low maintenance plants, and great to put in a spot that others might pout in. Well worth it!

### plantgeek commented on 2026-07-09

$14?! i've spent $40 for a single plant. where are you guys shopping at that the most you spend is $14? take me there!

#### I love plants replied on 2026-07-10

I buy really small plants and what them grow! Not buy a more expensive big plant!

### jlsKenzy commented on 2026-07-10

Yes, I spent 12 on a zz maybe half that size. 👍

#### I love plants replied on 2026-07-10

That makes me feel better because I thought it was so expensive but so small!!!

### Plant Guy commented on 2026-07-10

I’ve spent over $200 on a giant pitcher plant

#### I love plants replied on 2026-07-10

Holy cow!!!

### Carter commented on 2026-07-10

Lovely! I usually see them smaller sized for around the same price or often times more expensive. What a steal!

#### I love plants replied on 2026-07-10

I am so glad that I didn’t spend too much on it!!!!

### Lisa\_starch\_bishop commented on 2026-07-10

Definitely worth it. I’ve spent $160 on a rare cultivar of a small monstera white monster 😫  
This hobby…

#### I love plants replied on 2026-07-10

I feel you!!! This hobby is crazy!

### Ms.Issy commented on 2026-07-10

I think so! I spent about $25 for my raven ZZ and I really love that plant.  
It’s been super low maintenance and the new growth is very fun to watch!

#### I love plants replied on 2026-07-10

I love to watch new growth!!!!!
