Rare Plant Shopping
Plant Haul

I do earn a small amount money from amazon affiliate links if purchases are made (and I mean pennies). This does not create incentive to make videos like this. My goal is to make reliable, honest, plant content viewers can trust.

That Pink Princess should be named a Green Milkmaid at this point! $250 ☠️
I wish all plant shopping videos were as honest. Most just limit to showing the prices without any opinion at all…
Like this video & content. Thanks for sharing!
Good job Chris. I learn so much from you! I binge watch your videos whenever possible 😊
I don't use insecticides on my outdoor aroids and flowering plants because I have alot of lizards, snakes, treefrogs, hummingbirds and beneficial insects. For my indoor terrarium and houseplants I use pyrethiun/sulfur for pests and bacterial/fungal leaf spots.
hahaha I think it's a little hypocritical talking about the plants prices being steep when you have plants on your Etsy listed For double,Sometimes even triple, of the other plants that are the same size,quality, etc.why is your plant pricing so high?
Most of the plants look like garbage and have been sprayed with tap water.
Ridiculous prices, I can get most of them at 80% cheaper locally.
“Friends don’t let friends buy plastic plants” 😂 I liked this vid!
Although I don’t live in North America I still found this video very interesting. I couldn’t believe the poor quality of some of the plants not to mention high prices. Thanks for sharing the informative video.
Plant prices have gone way down. They didn't get the memo…
I am surprised that Armstrong's is stocking plants with obvious disease and pest issues. I remember visiting locations in the San Diego area and being very impressed. Sad if this is a company-wide decline.
Love your channel and content but I politely disagree about Miracle Gro plant food. I use it in highly diluted amounts and plants thrive. One purchase can feed a house full of plants for years. No affiliation with the company, just my experience as a plant hobbyist.
