# I am usually wary of Walmart plants, especially the Thai cons because…

I am usually wary of Walmart plants, especially the Thai cons because of the horror stories I’ve heard about root rot and pests. I took a look one of the last times I went to the store, though, and I spotted this beauty. When I repotted it, I was delighted to find perfectly healthy and robust white roots. It was in pure peat, so it was probably very new to the store otherwise I would expect to see some rot. Anyway, I’m very pleased with this $30 purchase, and I wanted to share it with people I knew would appreciate it. 😊
