# When you swear you've got to cut down on your plant collection…

When you swear you've got to cut down on your plant collection because you already have 220+ but you drive by your local nursery and all of their plants are 50% off. 🤦🏼

II feel like it is better to get more at a good discount though, because then they can be donated without feeling as guitly when you need to size down your collection 🤔

I agree put unfortunately I get attached and have only successfully given one plant away in the past six months. lol. Other than starting babies for friends of course.

Yep, that's me. I had a plant swap last week, gifted over 20 (mostly props and a couple larger ones), I was very proud to have only taken 1 home. But stopped yesterday and picked-up 5 new ones from clearance...Large ones that will take up more space than the little ones did. 🤣
