# Hey y’all! What is the best way to get plants cheap? I’m not…

_Posted by NewerHorizons777 on 2024-01-21_

Hey y’all! What is the best way to get plants cheap? I’m not independent and don’t have a stable income, so I’m wondering if there’s a cutting exchange group in the DC/MD area.

you can find free houseplants and cuttings online on your local free stuff website, or on sites like fb marketplace, or even your local “buy nothing” group on facebook

I love looking on OfferUp!

Lowe’s clearance section! Most of the plants there are $20 or less, and a lot of them come with pots! (Of course, there’s a little bit of work that might need to go into rehabbing them, but I’ve learned a lot through doing that.)

I’m in PA. Found an Amish Nursery and their prices are so low, it’s awesome! I came home with 9 plants, pots, and plastic bases and spent like $50.

Do you have a plant group in your area you can join on Facebook? You could trade cuttings or watch for ones people are giving away.
