$14 PHILODENDRON GLORIOSUM AT LOWES & HOME DEPOT! RARE Big Box Plant Shopping

[@MichelleAlmaguer-d1u]

I walked into my local grocery store and the floral department clerk was setting up a new display. My heart started racing when I saw what it was! It said "Variety" on the box from a local nursery and oh my goodness it sure was. I got a Thai Constellation, Paraiso Verde, Silver Sword and a huge Prince of Orange. The best part, $5.99 and absolutely luscious plants.

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Omg that is incredible!! Congrats lovely!

[@user-kr911]

What grocery store was it? I always check my local pick n save but rarely find anything really cool. I still always check hoping that day will be the day haha

[@lindaschad9734]

@@user-kr911 I've found great deals in the floral departments of QFC, Safeway and Trader Joe's.

Love them!

I'm so glad!

I had the best rare plant day everrrrr at my Home Depot tooo! I actually passed on some plants cuz I couldn’t afford them all lol. My Home Depot is notorious for never having anything so maybe these aren’t “rare” to other people but to me I scored big time. I picked up a huge silver string of hearts, a ric rac cactus/orchid cactus, Hoya sp. aff Burtonia variegated, Hoya tricolor wayettii, and a Hoya fitchii. I left behind a Hoya autumn blush, Hoya lacunosa mint, and a Hoya gracilis. I did go back the next day and get them tho! Haha there was also a really beautiful philodendron that I still don’t know what it was. It was from Hampshire farms and it was just labeled onyx. If anyone knows what that is let me know. I also want to let all the Midwest people know that I live in Wisconsin. I feel like a lot of us in Wisconsin/Michigan and this area usually never have good finds like this but I’ve been noticing a lot online from other people in this area there’s been a boom of good finds in the big box store. So go look!

[@xcthemikexc]

I remember my mind being blown early last year finding about 10 whale fins in my local grocery store for $12! 😮‍💨 That particular store always had great plant finds. Also snagged a 12inch hanging pot of Micans for $14 the year before.

[@MariahBenson-j4t]

How big are your micans now?

[@xcthemikexc]

@@MariahBenson-j4t I have 2 pots about 6 feet long and 2 lil baby pots. It have been chopped a couple times or it would be twice the size lol

[@Ahlathein]

Welcome to town! The GR walmarts do not have much for plants. I loved seeing what is in my local hardware stores!

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

I’ll check them out!

[@EuroTravChannel]

About combined planter, I completely agree with Ashley. Some in the planter clearly are not as robust and have different needs. Usually the most interesting ones are the ones become lost first.

[@devast10]

Just got a Gloriosum for $15 at HD today. It's growing so far over the pot I have the end resting in another pot to root. I will probably end up with 3 plants when its all propogated. Best plant purchase I have gotten yet.

[@alicelarez4311]

Three years ago, I bought one of those cute small Exotica.Three years later, it is a 4 ft. Tree that has been chopped more than once.I can't get it to stop growing.So happy for your move.No more Pikes, but I hope you find other exciting places to plant shop.Thank you so much I greatly enjoyed this.

That hoya is called Hoya Fitchii. I LOVE THEM!! When I heard Home Depot had them I rushed over in a rain storm with groceries to pick them up lol! I bought 3 of them so I can make a nice full plant :). I bought a small Fitchii online a few months ago for $50!!

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

So cool!

[@shavonnehurst4752]

I’ve been looking for a Ficus Umbellata for literal years, hopefully they stock the NY Home Depot’s with them sometime soon

[@amymarshall1829]

I believe you were right about the one hoya being a Rosita. The other that you thought might be an Elliptica, I believe is a Fitchii. I have both Elliptica and Fitchii and actually really prefer the Fitchii. It's an awesome plant. Over a week ago, Jaclynn from Jaclynn's Jungle found several Anthurium Silver Blush at a Home Depot!! I would have lost my mind at that one. I haven't bothered to go to my local HD looking for it. First, their selection is generally terrible. Second, I was traveling for work last week, so I couldn't run right out. By the time that I got back, I knew -- if my local HD had gotten them in -- they would have been scooped up by then. But keep looking! You tend to get luckier than I ever do.

[@denisej.9936]

I snagged a gloriousum at my local HD two weeks ago. I also found a red stemmed Billie half price. Wow! Inside HD, there was a special plant display by the cash registers. I found a fairly large Euphorbia lactea variegata and a large euphorbia horrida hybrid in the cutest grey/beige stone pots. My best plant hall ever! I’m still chasing those illusive anthuriums at HD and Lowe’s. Maybe next week. 😊

[@catbb1000]

Ashley what great selections and sale prices. I'm going to go look tomorrow to see if I can find some of the Espicias. I picked up a small one early this summer but it was just the basic one. I really do love them. I'm keeping my eyes out for a used aquarium to put them in this winter to try and keep them alive.

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Have fun!

sometimes you can find good stuff in the gardens and divide each plant and get several plants in one purchase

Soooo I'm from Dallas, Texas and there are channels on KZbin (Growfolds) that has found Thai Constellation Monstera at Costco! Not sure if you have a Costco in your area but if so, you may want to check them out! P.s. I love your channel and I'm glad you got your peace back. Happy plant hunting and many MANY blessings💚🪴💚

[@loreleimaid]

The living stones cacti like water in spring and fall, dry in summer and winter when they are dormant. I found a Gloriosum a little over a year ago at Menard's for $15. There were 3 growing points and right away it filled a 24" trough. I bought a 4 foot long trough and by this spring it was full. So I chopped and propped and now I have 4 big pots of it for sale and the 3 pieces I kept are being forced up a netted cedar plank filled with aroid mix. It looks fabulous....we will see how it does come winter in my fairly shady plant room. Those huge velvety leaves are just so beautiful!! I would have gotten that Jungle Boogie, although I have a small Ring of Fire which I think is the variegated form of the Boogie? One more comment; the 'Silver dragon' alocasia does not attract spider mites like 'Polly' and 'Yucatan Princess' do. Also 'Melo' seems to resist them well. Now that you bought the $15 Gloriosum, your avg cost is only $157.50 each. Feel any better? You look great, best of luck there in Michigan. Love to watch the shopping videos because I am 60 miles away from any big box stores.

[@tamarawilson9339]

Ashley! You are like that incredible friend that's such a bad influence! LOL. Grabbing my keys and heading to HD... again. They've had whale fins here for several months and I did grab a small (4 in) Thai for 29.99 at HD a few weeks ago. Costco had large (8 inch pot) Thais for 42.99 so I grabbed several of those. Question... I always keep my new plants separate for 2 weeks and wipe them down but should I automatically use insecticidal soap or something... and treat with mosquito bits? What is your typical routine when you bring a plant home for best success? Thanks for sharing... love your videos.

[@serenitypirnie692]

A couple weeks ago i found a philodendron el choco red at home depot. I was so excited, was only $15

I have a problem with growing some of these Plants in my home....Dieffenbachia, Syngoniums, Fiddle leaf fig, Ponytail Palm, Banana Plant, Pepperomia, Anthuriums, Money Trees, types of Philodendrons, they'll start off growing and then they'll start dying off...... I've bought these plants so many times......

[@stefpix]

I was wondering which plant you paid $300 for. P. gloriosum was available 4/5 years ago for $30 or so from Ecuagenera. Now I see them at the Union sq farmers market in nyc for $15. Same for Philodendron billiettae. But my favorite uncommon Philodendrons are the P. esmeraldense, that quickly develops very large leaves. Philodendron lentii, which I just got, it has beautiful pleated leaves, yet they are leathery and thick, so probably very adaptable to an apartment Philodendron Esmeralda Spirit seems great as well looks like its parent P. esmeraldense, but it’s more vigorous and has short internodes like the other parent P. spiritus-sancti. The Philodendron Splendid is also great. The primary hybrids seem less fussy and way more vigorous than their parents.

Yes, gloriosum is a crawler. I have one currently and it's about to crawl out of its long box. I want to bend the growing tip to point it back into the box, but it's too stiff. I think I'm going to have to propagate the leading tip and then chop it off and replant it into the same box.
