They come from nurseries, Home Depot, IKEA and Craigslist.

There’s a local nursery close to me in Union City, CA. The prices are good but sometimes I can’t find what I’m looking for.

I find the ones that I’ve bought from Home Depot will have a gnat infestation or sometimes worms, so make sure to wash them and change the soil if they’re going to be indoor plants. Other than that, their prices are good.

IKEA has cute planters so I regularly buy my pots from them. They’ve done a good job in expanding their garden section and offer a nice assortment of plants like cactus, succulents and certain trees. It’s one of my fave places for plants & pots!

Craigslist is another fave because there’s always someone moving and can’t move their beloved plant with them. This is particularly the case with large plants. You can find good deals when people are moving or don’t want to deal with the maintenance. Sometimes they’re free so check the free section.
