[@plantypatty]

The fact that this video made me drag my boyfriend to our local big box stores (2) for more plants is truly tickling me!🤣🤦🏽‍♀️I LOVE your videos, they’re so informative and they’ve helped my babies so much. Big THANKS!

[@plantsbymelissa]

aw thank you so much! 🥹 haha I always get the urge to go plant shopping when I see other videos too!

[@catarinaeriksson946]

😭 It's like xmas when you do a plantshopping vlog. 🎉❤️🥰💕

[@plantsbymelissa]

Aw yay!! I’m glad you like them! I love filming these videos 🥰

[@kimberlylarkins8858]

The faux foliage is hilarious 😂. Man, Target is PROUD of their pots and stands! Thanks for taking us shopping ❤

[@plantsbymelissa]

You are so welcome! Haha some of the faux plants are so bad 😂

[@Horsewoman-pt2ku]

King Soopers still have their 8” baskets for $12.99. That’s where I buy majority of my pothos varieties

[@plantsbymelissa]

That’s a good price for sure! 🫶🏻🌱

[@BoojiePanda]

Hi Melissa! The plant you found at 11:55 is a Schismatoglottis, I think the species may be motleyana but don't quote me on that. Thank you for taking us window shopping!!!

[@Allieppr]

Its an apobalis. Similarly thirsty.

[@BoojiePanda]

@@Allieppr the two plants look identical, the only way you can really tell them apart is the Apoballis has dark petioles... good catch. At one time she was classified as a Schismatoglottis, but they discovered it was a new genus. 🥰

[@maryjohnson6746]

Ahhh! I would have totally grabbed that variegated lipstick plant! I’ve wanted one for a long time!

[@dora9368]

Thanks for taking us along. It was a fun, relaxing trip, and there were tons of great plants and pots. ❤😊

[@plantsbymelissa]

You are so welcome! 🤗

[@dora9368]

I love the glass vases at Target. So big and pretty ❤️ the costly shelves are nice too

[@erikm8372]

At 02:30 I’m not sure but that different-looking Calathea may be ‘Flame Star’. Related to ‘Beauty Star’, or maybe bred from it originally, lol.

[@231Yamadori]

The variegated ficus’ made me stop for a few mins too

[@carolstuff]

The faux plants are hilarious! Love the beautiful pots at target, but they’re a bit pricy. Thanks for sharing Melissa!

[@plantsbymelissa]

Yes so pricey! I like fining good ones at TJ maxx so much cheaper 😂🫶🏻

[@kyrad6543]

The long target self-watering planters are great for crawling philos. Target had some really cute small wire trellises at Christmastime. I regret not buying those.

[@maryjohnson6746]

The red orchid is so pretty too!!

[@Twinleo1]

Our Home Depot recently received such an awesome shipment of nice plants!!!!! I bought 6 😳 and have no idea where I’m going to put them 😂

[@lisaanglim9588]

Those vases are cute.

[@Minnescaper]

I saw that feathery plant with green tops and red underside last week too. I aaaalmost bought it because I'd never seen it before. Now I wish I had! Also, I love Proven Winners. So many amazing offerings recently.

[@simonesevero6761]

Home Depot looking do good! I was in our local one in Colorado today snd there is nothing, just leftovers from Christmas. Looking forward to when they bring new things!

[@deidrajimi9816]

Same. I was so disappointed.

[@shawnamarie190]

Good to know 😊 I was itching to go after this vid haha I’m in Denver and usually it’s so so

[@plantsbymelissa]

Aw hoping you get some new plants soon 💕

[@katie77r]

Wow, those marble queen big hanging baskets are gorgeous, definitely would have bought one of those! Thanks for another great video 😊🪷💖

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@laulaumilau]

Definitely a cost effective way to window shop for plants. Lol thanks for bringing us with you! I would love to see a video like this but with local plant stores, they always have the cutest aesthetics. I've heard of a few cute ones in Savannah like STUMP, Cast & Grey Botanical and Herb Creek.

[@plantsbymelissa]

I've filmed in herb creek before but have't been to stump in a while. I haven't heard of the other one!

[@MissSyrinxie]

I'm so excited! I got a variegated maranta at home depot in my city yesterday! I know you're always looking for them so thought I'd share my success :)

[@plantsbymelissa]

Ahh congrats!! 🙌🏼 I feel like I will find another one this year 🤞🏼😂

[@lisaanglim9588]

This has been fun.

[@lisaanglim9588]

Wow, those wicker pots I. The stand are cute but VERY expensive.

[@lupitasmith9944]

Got an over-watered manjula from Lowe's last week. I believe there were 3 total. I got the basket that looked to be the most manjula. The other 2 looked mixed with marble queen. 16.95, I think, was the price.

[@lisaanglim9588]

That orbifolia was pretty

[@lisaanglim9588]

Those mushrooms are cute.

[@rmcandlelight]

12:08 The plant that look like palm leaves it's a white Ginger Lily.

[@lisaanglim9588]

Oh I like the shape of that one pot. Quite angular

[@JuanellHopper]

I found some cute plant stands at Walmart. I got one today to go in my bathroom for calatheas and other humidity craving plants

[@livingnatural3225]

Thank you it's been a while since you dis one of these 😊

[@plantsbymelissa]

I try to do them once a month at least! They tend to be the same plants all the time at big box stores too 😂 I may have end up going more often once spring gets here!

[@user-iy5gi4rm7r]

the reddish long leafed is a red ginger

[@JermaineGertse]

Btw. I wouldve taken (the maharani(s), black velvets, dragonscales, a few of those aglaonemas, a bird of paradise or three, all the ferns, all the diffenbachias, all the hoyas, many orchids) to the getaway car🥷

[@stephanierene3537]

I went to Lowe's today and they were so packed full of plants. I go there to get my soil amendments and I needed bark and coco coir today. 😊

[@stephanierene3537]

My Lowe's has the most gigantic palms I have seen in person. They towered over me and it was like walking through an actual jungle when I was browsing. Lol!

[@plantsbymelissa]

It's so fun to browse! I could spend hours haha. I usually stock up on perlite and spag moss when I go 🥰

[@lisaanglim9588]

I love Aglaonemas

[@Ksnamaste]

The self watering pots at target actually work. I was buying Lechuza pots for a while but my pockets couldn’t handle the prices. Target pots work well with Pon

[@erikabredahl5326]

Yay!!!!!🎉

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thanks for watching!! 🥰

[@kristathompson9888]

I love gnomes but those mushrooms 🥰

[@lisaanglim9588]

Those calatheas are beautiful and priced right.

[@joanneyeomans6294]

Alpinia red rubin at 12.15

[@lisaanglim9588]

I’ve seen that planter there on Amazon the big wire one

[@lisaanglim9588]

Marble Queen is very pretty.

[@plantguy285]

I can't beleive they had a great selection! SO much beautiful plants! And this may be off topic but what soil do you use for anthuriams? And do you reccomend anything to make their leaves big?

[@jamiecalvert9242]

Those cheap, plastic self watering planters from target are the best!!

[@plantsbymelissa]

I love them! 💕🫶🏻

[@sandracastellanos921]

I’m such a sucker for orchids. Lowe’s has better prices but Home Depot has better selection of plant in my experience here in California.

[@christopherhuynh7573]

That plant is an Apoballis acuminatissima 'Lavallaei'. On my plant wish list rn! So hard to come by

[@plantsbymelissa]

I just saw another one yesterday at a different Lowe’s. Hopefully, some will pop up for you here! 💗

[@lisaanglim9588]

Lowes have huge hanging baskets

[@anaarredondo2951]

I think the first one what you asked about was a apoballis purple sword.

[@destineemead8604]

The long leafed plant at lowes is a red bamboo ginger 🫚

[@plantsbymelissa]

Oh cool to know! Thank you for sharing! 🥰

[@alexandradrozd3161]

The first, with maroon backside to the leaves, is an apoballis.

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you! I’ve never seen one before! 🙏🏼🌱

[@destineemead8604]

I found a varigated rabbits foot maranta at lowes today so they're out there!

[@plantsbymelissa]

Ahhh congrats for you! I know when I finally find more I will probably buy a few of them 😆

[@lisaanglim9588]

I live big box stores shopping, though I’m envious of your stores.

[@rat.cheese]

i have found recently that Lowe's has had a lot of good stuff.

[@plantsbymelissa]

I feel like my stores have been pretty stocked all winter! I keep hearing of others finding some good stuff! 🥰

[@rat.cheese]

@@plantsbymelissa i have found so many alocasias like pink dragon, green scale, dragon scale, maharani, etc Although they were in rough shape, they had corms galore to compensate. I think i got them for $10 each due to damage. btw I love your videos!

[@lisaanglim9588]

Maybe they’re getting their spring plants in like stores are bringing in new spring clothes out now.

[@dianespring3228]

Melissa how do you tell the difference between a marble queen and a manjula?

[@cristinaardelean5064]

❤

[@plantsbymelissa]

🌸🪴🥰

[@MyLocksMyPlants]

🌱💚

[@plantsbymelissa]

🥰🥰

[@plantswithjoshua]

I figure the "variegated" plants were probably sprayed with some sort of chemical, or paint when they were younger, hence why both of the smallest leaves have the green. :)

[@plantsbymelissa]

Ahh that makes sense! I thought it was strange for them both to have a smaller leaf like that 😂

[@lisaanglim9588]

I need a flf. I’m getting two other ficuses but I can’t remember o Except one is a tineke but the pink one

[@lisaanglim9588]

Great pots. Look at the pits that are with the fake plants. The price might be wormers it and they might have cute pots.

[@Digitspice]

The palm looking one is from the ginger family.

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you!!

[@lisaanglim9588]

These ppp aren’t muddy looking but have good coloring. The pink is pink not burgandy or what I call muddy.

[@zpan5265]

I found some hoyas Rosita from the Proven Winners brand at Home Depot yesterday 😮

[@plantsbymelissa]

Oh I don’t know that one! Coming across Hoyas at big box stores is such a great find !! 🙌🏼

[@zpan5265]

@plantsbymelissa Yes,especially anything other than the common ones. I also scored a win when I found a philodendron tortum and a philodendron crocodile at Walmart a couple of weeks ago. I am delighted to see the big box stores carrying more of a variety of uncommon plants.

[@Horsewoman-pt2ku]

Another creator Texas found a mint lacunosa at Home Depot 4”pot. Wow

[@plantsbymelissa]

Ahh so cool!! More rare finds are so exciting!!

[@lisaanglim9588]

It’s amazing how one company makes such good fake Marathas look real. Then there are the ones like the flf lol.

[@lisaanglim9588]

Prices will go up

[@shabirshabir5912]

My dear friend very nice very beautiful plant thank you so much❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ l am Yasmin in Pakistan

[@Thepixieplantgarden]

I get my shears from dollar tree

[@lisaanglim9588]

I’ve seen someone grow mushrooms from a mushroom kit

[@lisaanglim9588]

Are marble queen white and green and golden is yellow and green, but look alike otherwise?

[@lisaanglim9588]

What does sport variegation mean? I’ve heard it but don’t know what it means.

[@edwardtafoya4779]

Great video I stopped shopping at target years ago. Always overpriced

[@lisaanglim9588]

I need a lipstick plant.

[@amberhendrix5753]

What is the plant at 11:51? It looks like scindapsus with an elongated leaf! I like the look of it. 🍃 ❤

[@jamiecalvert9242]

Apabollis

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you! It’s a new one to me!

[@lisaanglim9588]

My rattle snake calathea up and died on me after four years. I need to get one to replace it.

[@dora9368]

Did you lighten your hair? It looks lighter. I love your hair...it's so pretty and so are you. Your calm, patient, understanding demeanor makes you an even more beautiful person. 👍💐🌼👌🌈. TFS Melissa

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you dora 🥹 I have some bleach in my hair from last year sometime but it's hard to see it unless I'm in bright light! I have a lot of red undertones in my hair.

[@dizzyk54]

🪴🪴🌝♥♥

[@plantsbymelissa]

☺️💚🌱

[@ambercole640]

Lowe's prices on ceramic pots are outrageous!

[@plantsbymelissa]

I love cute ceramic pots but sometimes I wished we could buy the plant without them 😂

[@ambercole640]

@@plantsbymelissa it's strange how you can buy a plant in a ceramic pot for cheaper than you can buy just the pot. Lol

[@dianespring3228]

I don’t know why it’s so hard to put the names on plants for some of us dummies like me that don’t know all the names yet😊

[@lisaanglim9588]

The unknown plant looks like an aglaonema, to me.

[@melanieklarofficial]

I can’t get pink princesses to thrive

[@lynnkarpati413]

Maybe I can keep that fake alocasia alive LOL!! thanks for sharing! I'm not sure Ohio has put out their stuff yet

[@plantsbymelissa]

Haha it won’t give you any trouble 😂 maybe your store will get some in soon! 🙏🏼

[@JermaineGertse]

My bank balance isnt safe when i visit garden centres. I would easily barter with the manager for my kidney or a piece of my liver. Wonder if they would accept my organs? I can donate anything i don't need two of.

[@lisaanglim9588]

Lowes was better than Home Depot

[@lisaanglim9588]

But the fake plant for the pot.

[@zpan5265]

It's funny how we "plant moms" make fun of fake plants anytime we see them...😂😂

[@plantsbymelissa]

😂 I used to buy them! I thought the arrangements were pretty but this was before I knew of real plants haha

[@lisaanglim9588]

Throw out the fake plants keep the pots
