I think I figured some of you scammers out.

Going on Facebook marketplace offering plants for sale, and all you did was swap cache pots with something you picked up at Trader Joe’s!

I’m onto you!

Just kidding. However I do think that there’s a scheme here set up by Todd.

Because why and how is someone selling pineapple houseplants in New England of all places?!?!

Smh. I’m scared, but tempted to go see for myself near me lol

As a newbie, I find Facebook Marketplace to be an interesting place to find rarer and more interesting plants than the typical ones you’d find in the big box. I assume there’s more care there than a store where things are either shriveled or over watered.

But then I learned about nurseries. lol

Welcome!

Nurseries are the best. Some also have online stores. Spring and fall tend to be the better times to buy online in the northeast since the temperature is more mild than winter and summer.
