Nice haul! I picked up a huge, healthy Alocasia Zebrina for $0.44 at a grocery store garden centre that was closing for the season. I live for clearance plants!

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Wow great find!

[@ameldiaevans3169]

I found my variegated alocasia dawn at Walmart was $149 marked down to $37 on clearance 2 days ago.

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Great find!

[@deannathethriftycorgi1581]

Thrifting! My favorite. I thrift all of my pots and prop vessels.

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

They always have the best stuff!

[@dasher0800]

I got an Alocasia Zebrina at Trader Joe's yesterday for $6!

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Incredible!

[@ChaseandtheMonstera]

For me, the variegated alocasia is beautiful, but, not for £200, they go dormant too easy and/or are too finicky for me aha. I'm not the biggest alocasia fan 😂 I am going to try them again one day... I would have picked up one of the variegated Hindu ropes, that was a great deal. Also, the two blue ceramic snowmen in goodwill were cute 😂

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

💚💚

[@MegaMindyLou]

You could put that cool glass lampshade over a pot of African violets and make a mini terrarium.

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Such a creative idea!

[@cindyvan635]

The Lizard is a Anole, they change color also. 🦎🌱🤗 such a fun video!!! Love when you go thrift shopping🤗💖🌱

The yellow sansevieria is called Sansevieria Yellowstone. 😀

Omg! Those holiday containers I would’ve totally put holiday cactuses in! It would help me keep them organized! Lol

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Wow! That is so creative and brilliant!

[@justinamontgomery2618]

I have 2 lizards that arrived running around my home, from ordering houseplants! I have had 1 for 2 years and 1 for almost a year! That alocasia was so perfect and breathtaking.....yikes....one day lets hope they are all cheaper! I hear you about bills and food cost! Things always work out but the roller coaster of squeezing bills and cost of living gets crazy sometimes! Great video going to keep watching! ♡ from MN

[@GotoHere]

The smart people voted for President Trump, the dumb people voted for Joe Biden. Now the whole country is suffering because of Biden’s inflation, economy destroying, stock market tanking, and massive layoffs. The uninformed, uneducated, sheep voting for failure Joe Biden are why we can’t afford plants anymore.

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

[@davevaughn3399]

I have about twenty of those variegated Alocasias, all started from a three inch plant. They had 5 gallon pots packed full of them at Lowe's for $25 here a few years back.

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Wow! That is incredible!

[@peggymalabuyoc9150]

Hi Ashley, good to see you and the adorable Claire. So sorry Clair had to have eight teeth removed. Poor baby. Thank you for this video and yes, I would love to see a video on Alocasia care. Mine look pretty good but I would love to see them thrive. Looking forward to your Alocasia care and tips video, for sure! Love your Zebrina! She’s a beauty! Love the thrift shopping at our Goodwill. I would have picked up that pink and cream pot as well. So lovely. Also, thank you for the Lizard cameo in your video. Sooo cute.👌🪴🥰

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Thanks for the kind words Peggy!

[@karenferrel8308]

That was so much fun. I love thrifting. Love your new plant.❤

[@wightwick13]

34:05 Think that was a bulb growing vase. Hyacinths, tulips, crocuses, irises, daffodils and paperwhites can be grown in water.

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Lovely!

[@darthtraya8305]

What a fun video! Would love to see an update video on some of the plants you have picked up from previous hauls. I think it would be fun to see how they have grown. Thanks!

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Thanks! I’ll definitely do a houseplant tour this year

[@carmenwhitehead]

Wow! Pikes is such an amazing nursery. I wish they had some here in Florida. Maybe I need to do a road trip to Charlotte? 😊.

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Let me know if you do! We will have to get together. ❤️

You can make a terrarium out of the wide glass vase. Great buy with the casserole dish. Love the zebrina.

Thanks for watching!

[@daniellefernandez8945]

I just picked up a zebrina from planterina. I had the sarian last year and loved it but it hadn't come back up yet from winter. I already have the frydek(green form) when I saw the sarian for sale I decided to buy them both for a collection since the sarian is a hybrid between the 2. My zebrina is teeny tiny compared to yours so I wasn't really sure if the zebrina was a small form. It's nice to know they do get bigger. I bout the zebrina, sarian and a goeldii for around $50.

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Great finds!

[@marthamiriam8983]

I had forgotten how much I love your videos! I would love to see your experience with Alocasias. I owned 1 the Polly and I never got any more Alocasias because of the spider mite issue. Yes please tell me more! Thanks Ash🪴💚

The variegated Alocasias are hitting local nurseries! They have them at the Raleigh Farmers Market for $89!

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Omg! I am overdue for a Raleigh trip….

[@sstephe488]

I love your videos so much! I can't afford much and I learn so much from you about values of plants. Plus the thrifting! My favorite Goodwill store closed during Covid and never re-opened. It was so good and I miss it. No others are good around here so I envy you so much! And I love when you pick up cat things. I would have grabbed all the cat pieces you saw here. Anyway, you always put a smile on my face whether plant shopping or thrifting, so Thank You!.

[@marleneprescod8494]

Thank you ashley such stunning plants and the varigated alocasha is gorgeous just save up and get that for your plant room. Oh those variegated hindu rope Hoyas I would have bought all 4 of them I just love and need that plant for my collection. Clair will be fine ❤

I’ll have to pick one up next time

I lived in South Carolina and those little lizards are EVERYWHERE outside. It's real life there in North Carolina. She is from the Caribbean and she loves nature and wildlife.

They go dormant. They aren’t dead so don’t throw it out. The leaves die back for energy to put into their corms or bulbs. Kind of like daffodils.

It's unbelievable what our police officers have to put up with. It truly is a thankless job. I'm so glad they are willing to do it.
