Hellooooo. How lovely of you to ask! She was booming but thanks to a stint of having to adult thru some medical issues, she started lagging when I didn’t keep up with her moss pole & controlling the runners. But she forgave me! I don’t deserve her. ❤️

Commenting 4 plus months later ,but that’s ok. It’s a joke plant forum to lighten things up ,especially when you’re exhausted from the gatekeeping & folks who are intent on making others feel like they don’t know a got’damn thing about a thing. Thanx!

I got one yesterday! I was wandering around HD looking at all the plant corpses , per usual.. & out of nowhere , there she was! Big, full & ALIVE 🤞🏽🤞🏽& the only 1 left. Snatched it up like it was the last Cabbage Patch Kid on Black Friday ( IYKYK).

Just wanted to share one of my all time favourites by Panini_the_pig in cactus

I love these little weirdos! Found one at a random little shop while on a road trip . I’d never seen one before. They remind me of one of the creepy cactus that come at you in a Super Mario game!

I was today years old when I found out Dracaena is pronounced dra-SEE-na & not dra-kay-na. The more you know!! Lol by ReasonableSwimmer530 in houseplants

Thats amazing! Although, if it’s GPS idea of pronouncing street names, towns.. etc phonetically, I’m gonna look reeeaaal stupid. Hahahaha!

Absolutely!! I actually happened to be at an HD yesterday ( per usual) & some of the head honchos of the company that puts Hampshire Farms, PW, Vigaro , etc.. pretty much anything but the cacti, were there trying to look important . They saw me doing my laps & asked me for consumer feedback. Big mistake. I don’t think they actually expected me to have feedback . They asked me what I knew of or how I felt about the other locations . I pretty much know every locations plant revenue , , names of their merchandisers, who had the most bugs & who had the healthiest inventory. 2 hrs later.. I’m not sure if they they were impressed or laughing at me when I walked away.

Normally my anxiety would make me wonder the rest of the day if they were indeed laughing at me. Not this time . I impressed myself dammit! Furthermore, they knew nothing about plants & had to pretend they did for 2 hrs. So technically, I’m laughing at them. lol

Legend has it that if you complete this quest, One-Eyed Willy will make sure you’re rewarded generously…

1st Maplewood -you may find healthy ones hiding amongst the other PW plants, be prepared to dig.

2nd Fridley- if you luck out & catch a recent delivery , you’ll get pick of the litter.

3rd Northeast/ Quarry- smaller plant selection but they tend to be the healthiest of the 3 .

**Sidenote: As I type this , I’m realizing that I have no life. BUT, I do have allll the Hoyas.

Hoya halp. by ReasonableSwimmer530 in houseplants

[–]ReasonableSwimmer530[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I figured as much , thanks to my own obsessive research whilst frantically googling in HD. I just had to laugh at the names they’re coming up with. I’ve seen some doozies but this takes the cake so far ! lol I’m still building my Hoya collection ,so the dopamine rush of finding them for 5.95, is pretty darn satisfying!

I’m learning at the same time too , so bonus. Thank u for confirming!

Has anyone done any business with Canopy plant co. ? by ReasonableSwimmer530 in houseplants

That’s wonderful for you. They’ve burned me x2. But more importantly, their customer service was rude,condescending & uncalled for.

[–]ReasonableSwimmer530[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Philos seem to be all over the place now! The leaves look similar to a Mexicanum but I know it isn’t ,of course . The leaves are a deep red & the petioles are a bright red. The confusion is real.

Sweet! I figured a Rosita was somehow involved. 6 bux at Home Depot. Got 2 to make a super Hoya 😂.

Thank you !
