[@woobinchang1378]

Love big box shops. Its calming to just walk around. @4:21 not a Diffenbachia reflector

[@HarliG]

What is it?

[@woobinchang1378]

​@@HarliG Its a Diffenbachia 'Panther'

[@beesknees213]

The croton's....if you over water them by a drop....they will 🪦. I finally gave them a try for the 3rd time. So far, so good and they love bright light.

[@perfectlyimperfect7373]

@@beesknees213I found that too. It took me 3 times to “master” the croton too, but the one I’ve had now is very happy & growing like crazy. I love it, so pretty!

[@vanessaorchard5668]

​@@perfectlyimperfect7373 I find them to be very communicative lol. As soon as their leaves start to drop, they're looking for water 💧

[@bookishbeantown]

“I think I’m gonna get one, no I shouldn’t until I get my life in order”. - exactly what I’ve been telling myself for two years lol

[@NatTayHill]

I honestly was going to comment on that quote too! 😂 We will NEVER have our lives fully “in order”. Just buy the plants. Life’s too short to not buy the plant.

[@emilymajeski]

I always tell myself I’m excited to hit several places to look at plants, but if I have just *one* awkward experience the fun is over and I’m ready to go home. Society takes a lot out of me.😂

[@BoredFjord]

Before I got into plants, I preferred Home Depot for general things.....now I ALWAYS want to go to Lowes. They definitely have the better selections around me for plants and supplies I adore these videos!

[@Dobbyjuliet]

Her plants makes me wanna make the trip, but Home Depot is just soooo much closer to me!

[@kristingordon1769]

I just bought my first scindapsus trebui moonlight the other day at Home Depot! Such a gorgeous plant

[@iia1433]

Please hit me back. 😂😂😂 Story of my fluffin life. You always keep me laughing. I love your spirit, thank you for the box store tours! Great score on the 15', that's a smokin deal!

[@roraaa11]

Thank you for sharing! I love your awkward stories. They made me laugh so hard! I’m the same way in stores. 🤣

[@suedub5156]

[@averilt]

I have been subscribing to you for years and I love all your content, and now seeing you jam to DAECHWITA, I will subscribe to you FOR LIFE, GIRL

[@patty6279]

OMG SAME. I came to the comments looking for other Armys 🥲💜🌿

[@jessicaurquhart1017]

Harli, you're just the best 🤗 You are one of my favorite creators and its bc of the silliness you share with us! I'm sure so many others can agree it feels so awkward to be out in the busy public nowadays... I always feel like ppl are watching or judging me which just makes us act more weird probably, lol.

[@cindyzander2448]

I AGREE!! She had me cracking up!

[@DominicSaggione]

My aunt told me Crotons shouldn’t be watered until the leaves droop slightly. Mine is in my ikea greenhouse under a mother grow light. It’s a super low maintenance plant. I think I’ve always killed them because I over-loved them. 😂 You’re my favorite plant-tuber btw. Always Keepin it real. 🤘

[@plantyrae]

My mom has tons of Crotons and they are always thriving!...but we live in Central Florida and she has them planted outside in a spot that gets direct sun year-round. I've never seen them do well inside unfortunately :(

[@laurenjohnson5880]

I love when all my planters are different too 😁

[@courtneys5950]

My croton gets indirect light and I let him dry all the way out! (He will droop when he needs water) and it’s pretty happy!!

[@cozyjackie]

For the store alarms, check your purse and clothes for security tags! The ones they put in purses are just tiny plastic rectangles like an inch or two long and they hide them in the pockets. I was setting off alarms too and it was a security tag in my new purse!

[@22RosesGrow]

Maria Syngoniums are so beautiful. I didn't think it would make it but it's thriving now. It is loving the low light.

[@annana37]

So proud of you doing videos like this! Love it - keep going!♥️

[@coconutgirl816]

@6:23 that's a gracilis lipstick plant.

[@paulae.6859]

Really appreciating all of the content!!

[@Ceceisextreme]

Lol! "I haven't seen any calathea until this maranta" **Had passed right over the pink calathea** 🤣🤣

[@nikidadonaldson8603]

Just bought one of your sweatshirts! Super stoked for my green queen to arrive! 💚

[@Ambuttx]

you remind me so much of one of my friends so your videos always make me smile extra :)

[@wishingonthemoon1]

I have a good dust croton, and I find they like lots of room for their roots and less is more when it comes to watering. Thanks for taking us with you!

[@vanessaorchard5668]

I love that you just set up your camera in the store and do your thing!

[@rosewagner4018]

Love your videos! I have a croton paintbrush plant. It was having a hard time, but I put it in PON and is loving life.

[@missevie8739]

This was just what I needed! You do make me chuckle 😃

[@lilymeowington9395]

I loved the video, I definitely laughed out loud a few times 😂 the Hoyas were my fav plants you saw.

[@jbad3355]

yess i’m so happy you uploaded this! helps feed my want to go plant shoppping at big box stores but can’t bc we never have as much in canada! (especially home depot ugh)

[@georgialatsha-qu5sl]

I found those planters too!! And thot it must be a mistake on price. Got 3 15” and 3 8.5” for $30 bucks! Yay jome depot!

[@gagegibson1610]

I so enjoy all of your videos. I am always learning something. Thank you 😊

[@deniselynch415]

Really looking forward to the next one!

[@dianespring3228]

Girl you are so my type of person and I’m going to be 66 I see me in you at your age loving your channel more and more all the time keep up the great work 😊

[@ariellenelson5644]

These shopping vlogs are so relaxing to watch :)

[@GardenWitchStudio]

Always enjoy a good big box store shop. And I love your awkwardness so much. Reminds me of me. Glad I'm not alone. 😂

[@ErinBooms]

Love these videos! Love the first song you played! Love you!

[@helendusza7816]

😂 You are Harli-larious! Would be so fun shopping with you! 🌿

[@pencilcurls]

That crassula would look so cute in one of your planters! 😊 I’ve been wanting one myself!

[@islein]

Love hanging out with you😍

[@hannakierstead289]

Girl your big box store videos have the funniest lil quotes 😂 “in the wild and by the wild I mean home depot” 😂😂😂

[@MCHNGRL03]

i got a GIANT dragon scale at home depot yesterday! Also saw some giant florida GHOSTS there!

[@LeafyLovey]

Laughed so hard I cried. To much fun. You know those pots were there last year, same price in Virginia State. You could so take your flowers you make and attach them. It would look amazing. Have the boys push their little hands on clay and attach it to the pot. Great canvas for your gifts and so inexpensive. Thank you for the great video!!

[@crocperson4457]

I LOVE THESE VIDEOS!!

[@paulanoakes5358]

I just bought the adorable green cactus pot at Home Depot. Along with my first Scindapsus, argyraeus I believe. It is lovely but was drenched. I sat it on paper towels, used so many to get the excess water out. So far it is doing good.

[@jomassey4207]

You made me laugh when you told me you accidentally elbowed an employee....such a social awkward excursion. I hope you have many more, LOL.....have your ever thought of accidental comedy?...it comes so natural to you. Such fun going shopping with you and your fluffy mic. Jo....

[@LeyzeeMusic]

Omg were you listening to Agust D in the beginning?! My k-pop heart is happy lol

[@corinna_maybe]

girl I'd love to go plant shopping with you and just randomly elbow people left right and center 🤣 what a tempting way to be an anxious mess outside my home for a change haha

[@camillechaumont5796]

Thank you for taking us shopping💚

[@HarliG]

Thanks for watching 😊

[@arisgrady5622]

4:33 I HAVE THIS PLANTER FOR MY SUCCULENTS AND ITS PERFECT

[@heathermc5557]

Great video!! You are so cute and quirky!! Love that you don’t go through every plant you see … at each store! You hit the highlights and the good one!! … edit- was that pot really $5??

[@HarliG]

Yes! 🤩

[@vicky3792]

I love my aralia balfouriana variegata. It’s a great plant and cheap. Easy to grow and grows fast.

[@sprkinles32]

You are hilarious. I love your personality

[@hollyhasegawa6095]

Hi Harli, I do love to plant shop at my big box stores because they do get some really cool plants, and I agree with you, I love boston ferns, but I kill them too, and the china doll I also love but those also die on me. Oh I really like that Diffenbachia Reflector and those leaves look so cool. Oh one of my favorites are the purple passion, i have one but have been looking for another one to add to this one and make it fuller. I also really like Crotons and had one of those golden ones and another one that had beautiful colors and a third one with great colors and they all died, the golden one was with me for over a year then it started to die and got some spider mites. I wish I could figure out what I was doing wrong and if I could get another one and keep it alive. Thanks for a really fun video Harli, I hope that you have a beautiful day, sending love and hugs, bye! 🤗💜💜

[@ninabeena83]

I actually just sold off all my largest plants except one because yes, they WERE small but no longer - I def feel like I need to run not walk to see if that $5 planter is in MY local store 😂

[@ILovePlants33]

Tetrasperma is on my wish list and have never seen it in a big box store!! I've never seen a Hoya either! I also want a moonlight but I hate that the prices are higher because of the planter. Loved this video!

[@kearao6726]

The cute one at 6:43 you didn’t know the name of is a gracilis lipstick plant!! I love mine. You never see them sold

[@pinkyysk]

Today has been a good day. Not pancake day good but good. Then the cherry on the top a new mrs g ahhh Thanks Have fun

[@itslyvv]

Would love to see a video like this but shopping for terrarium plants!? Watching your videos has got me so keen to do one 🪴❤️

[@agathan.944]

Sorry, I have to repeat what already is in a comment below. It is a Panther, not a Reflector. Reflector is more expensive, usually about $35 on Etsy. BUT there was a chance to get it for $6.99. About a month ago Smith's grocery had a new line of plants called "Select HP Collection", and for a first introductory week a nice tropical plant in the nice ceramic cover pot was just $6.99, I don't know what they wanted as a regular price because everything was sold right away. There were many Reflector plants. Smith's is just a local name for KROGER in Utah. I can not tell you is a marketplace or regular Smith's getting better assortment but I have found many collectible plants there. Happy grocery shopping to all of us.

[@sharonmiller4329]

I have a Croton that's almost 30 yrs old. It's quite beautiful. I just give it good light & water weekly. I'll be repotting it in a few wks.

[@dianespring3228]

I would love to go shopping with you you made my day but hey I’m going shopping tomorrow with my daughter and granddaughters I see a great day in my future 😂

[@sierrasicard4593]

Just got a baltic blue at Walmart a few weeks ago! The moment I saw it, it was in my cart

[@jennifer_loves_8766]

I have one of those croton gold dust.... I keep it outside in full sun.... I bough it in a 2 inch pot 2 years ago... Now its in 7 gallon pot and i might have to up pot it soon.... I water it every other day in summer and fertilize it at the beginning of spring... It even bloomed I didn't know they bloom

[@darthtraya8305]

How do you over winter it?

[@jennifer_loves_8766]

@@darthtraya8305 I live in Florida so I just cover it when it gets too cold ish

[@Luvsophiegurl]

I'm new to the planty world (less than 1 year) and the gold dust croton was one of my first purchases. I keep them in east or south facing windows and water when the leaves feel soft. Yellow is my favorite color, and I love them so much!!

[@ceecee8757]

Panty? 😂

@CeeCee lol whoops 🤭 😬

[@madyson9352]

I love the song you started the video with. It’s one of my favorites

It’s a good’n! My favorite is feel good by him!

[@wendywooldridge3943]

Daechwita daechwita! I knew I liked you!!!!

[@ShonjiPowerOf2]

Croton needs full sun. Put a grow light directly over it, like 3 ft away and they will be happy. Also I don't let it completely dry, not sure if that's right but mine blooms all the time

[@plantyrae]

^^ this! My mom has tons of them in her yard, but they are planted in spots that get direct sun all year. They love tons of sun and tons of water.

[@lucylazes4885]

I have a croton thats doing well! It was very sad until I moved and left it on the back porch and now its like 1m tall and so bushy and colourful! I water it once a month and it has very, very bright indirect light. It's in a self watering plastic planter which helps with the infrequent watering I think

[@lucylazes4885]

p.s. I live in australia so leaving it outside all year is probably different for you! But I think it really enjoys the heat and light of being outside here

[@katierobinson5464]

That one without an ID, I'm pretty sure it's a variety of Aeschynanthus (or possibly a Nematanthus, they can look similar). Maybe Aeschynanthus radicans? That would make sense since it was next to the Codonanthe as well, they are both in Gesneriaceae. My favorite family because they have beautiful flowers indoors, even here in Salt Lake where I am!

[@IreneIsaac]

Omg Agust D letssss goooooo!!!!!

[@kelleywilson1285]

Your walk is perfect.

[@dayanaurenda]

Lol! You're so relatable though...I have a mini heart attack everything I leave a store that has the alarm thingys 😅

[@ginasciortino]

I cannot believe the selection that’s available to you at big box locations in the USA. So jealous!

[@tjkitchens]

Great song to start the video off.

[@stephanieruth6184]

Ahhh!! YAY! So happy to see this, Harli ❤ 🪴 edit to add: I have a croton! She LOVES my south facing window. I also mist her daily & keep a water globe. She’s thriving! I’ve had that plant for 2 years 🥰

[@teresagarcia3495]

I’m plant shopping through you!

[@kierstenashley88]

I found the same planter for $4.98. It was a dollar less than the tiny succulent I got. Thank you!

[@karenb136]

You crack me up so bad. I laughed so hard watching this. Especially the DoNotEat comment. Love these videos.

[@karenmyers9146]

I would have loved to get the hoya wayettii. I get those planters every time I get to Home Depot. They even have a larger size for the same price

[@jensplanties]

Hi Harli, I’m Jenna! I just started posting on KZbin and you were part of my motivation to start doing so. I love your videos! In the future I’d love to get in touch and talk plants! I’m always here. Sincerely-JensPlanties

[@naegwut]

The best part of the video is you putting down the camera and filming yourself holding the microphone

[@slimjimjaricesarault2103]

6:40 is an Aeschynanthus lobbianus and my favorite def recommend they give such an amazing jungle vibe

[@bethb7973]

Such a good video! I would love to see you up cycle those ugly white planters. I have way too many

[@beybslifeintheus494]

Beautiful plants 🪴

[@chrys_3636]

14:10 THIS SOLVES A MYSTERY FOR ME! Last week I rescued a very very sad corn plant from in front of my apartment complex's dumpster and there were dying/dead, leafless vines in the pot at the bottom. I had a feeling they were pothos when I pulled them out but this pretty much confirms that this type of thing has been sold recently

[@susannahthankful]

Girl the Homedepot by Costco downtown SLC- has a back room with plants right across from Lowe’s! If that’s now where you are- I have the best luck there!!

[@targetedplantsguy9481]

Grow croton in deep water leca, put them were they get full morning sun and as new water roots appear pull them back from window when new leaves appear.

[@ErinBooms]

"Maybe I'm going to get one, should I? No I shouldn't until I get my life in order" same

[@joankennes3230]

1:42 it is a Calisia Repens or Turtle plant. They are also grown as a snack for reptiles.

[@Terrible_Hime]

I've seen those Baltic blues at Walmart super centers. Might wanna check there if you want that plant.

[@Ceceisextreme]

At 6:30 the hanging plant you liked- I think it's Lipstick gracilis/Aeschynanthus radicans

[@velohench]

This past fall I managed to snag a Baltic Blue at my local Lowes for $1.50 from the clearance rack. The poor thing was in such a sad state I almost passed. I'm glad I didn't because it bounced right back after I got it home and in a new pot. It seems they're a bit dramatic when they get dry in my experience. Sometimes I'll walk by and the thing looks like it's about to give up on life and a good soaking brings it right back. In January I gave it a hair cut and wrapped and pinned some of the vines. I got 15 cuttings that all took root in water that I transferred to soil about 2 weeks ago, so far 9 have pushed new growth and the roots are already pushing out of the drainage holes in the bottom of the 5" nursery pot I put them in. On the mother plant several nodes that were pinned have started rooting and there's new growth popping up all over the place which is really filling the plant out.

[@kristiprice8785]

Go Harli, listening to Suga of BTS Daechwita!!! Love your videos💜💜💜

[@hal0hal0mc]

Lowe's seems to have a better selection in my area as well. I do prefer to support the independent shops in my area wherever possible (esp. for the obscure stuff) but amazing deals can be had at the big boxes so I do both. As your neighbor in Colorado, I don't mess with ferns for the same reason.

12:05 Crassula Perforata AKA String of Buttons!

[@connieammerman8302]

I get it with feeling awkward. We just have to laugh at ourself. It would have been funny if you did your signature sing sing bye at the end and looked over and someone heard you.😂. Hey I’m learning not to take life so seriously. Entertaining video as usual Harli.
