As much shit as we get at big box stores (sometime deserved), I do my best to run a tight/healthy ship 😂 They finally decided to move our smol nursery near an outlet, and oh boy, I scavenged all the ‘store use’ lights I could. Next step is a timer and a circulation fan, then slowly switching over from LED lights to grow lights. BTW my bosses loved it, and hopefully the bosses bosses will want it at their stores 🤞

You are doing the lord’s work. I can’t help but think that plant sales will be much better – everything is more visible and eye catching – even the clearance section doesn’t look like a spider mite brothel!
I hope upper management takes notice. This is what I want to see when I go plant shopping.
Ooh, very nice. I’m not normally an alocasia/anthurium person, but there’s something on the shelf in pic #4 that I wouldn’t mind having!
If you were in my country. RIP that plant dream. :3
Wow! I worked retail for like 7 years at a store where we made it look good and got multiple corporate recognitions for being a model store. Bootlicky I know but also we took pride in being something well run for the community.
This is excellent. I hope you get recognition for it.
That is 💯the best looking plant clearance section I’ve ever seen.
Am I allowed to ask what big box store? If not, I totally understand.Â
Looks fantastic!
I’m *this* close to getting that black stand and light combo for my house. What a great way to grow plants!
I was just proplifting at Home Depot and sure I got a lot, but it was so depressing seeing how rotten and/or overwatered most of the succulents were. And the poor philodendrons in jars!?
You deserve a hefty pay raise cuz that would be like a beacon to the promised land for me lolol
I’ve always had better luck with plants from Lowe’s,however, I have found some bangers at HD. Last one, unicorn kinda thing.
I’ll take everything on your clearance rack, please!
All looks amazing!

I try my best to run a tight ship as well but holy hell your set up is BEAUTIFUL!
Welp, no more discount plants at this store!
Awesome that you’re doing this.  The Lowe’s near me has visible scale on all of their indoor plants when I chance a look
Bless you hunnie!
If I walked into a big box store and this was their set up, I would become a repeat customer. Great job!
Even the clearance section looks amazingly healthy!
This is cute!
Where is this located?
That’s the most beautiful Lowe’s plant section I have ever seen 💜
Yeah, this setup would succeed at separating me from some of my money 😆 nice work!
I WISH you worked at my store. My local store doesn’t care 😫
What state is this Lowe’s in? Been to one nearby looking for orchids and was very disappointed in Long Island, NY. Seems like not all Lowe’s carry those better-grow orchid seedlings. Any idea how to find out which do?
I go to a lot of Lowe’s and I’ve never seen one as beautiful as this! You are my hero. If I could give you a raise, I would.
This is great. Wish this was my store. I think Lowe’s has better plants than HD in most cases. Neither of my local stores look this good!! Fantastic job. I want to shop your store
Looks fantastic, I would love to browse there
As someone who works in the same department that looks amazing!
You know you might just like Nick Alexander’s video on Grow Lights, which, tldr, breaks down that they are just regular ol LED’s (albeit at a very bright setting, 6000K LED’s)
I wouldn’t worry too much about replacing them with lights branded for plants, especially if the plants are doing well as it is
This is a gorgeous section, you’ve done an amazing job!
10/10 would impulsively buy one or two!
Gaaaaaaaah!
The woman that runs the indoor plant section at my Lowe’s is like this. I’ve gotten great stuff from her clearance haha. I really need to reach out to corporate and compliment her.
Meanwhile my local Lowe’s has literal deceased plants still up for sale. Dried up, shriveled, sorry and depressing looking leaves that make me online shop for my plants instead. I’m not wasting full price on the plant that’s very clearly been neglected. I’d gladly grab a few from y’all. Well lit panels, visibly happy plants, something that’s more PROFIT THAN LOSS, and I’d get to admire the plants as opposed to rag on them on my walks.
Where
I hope that your local plant BST raves about your store because you deserve it
Those clearance deals is like dream coming true
How did you get Lowe’s corporate to go along with that. I wish my store had some light for the poor 4 inch under the tables slid all the way to the back. They can’t order enough ivy’s that sit in the water baskets… And the overabundance of Majesty palms infecting everything with spider mites that I can’t spray for. My nightmare OSLG.
That’s a beautiful setup!
Very impressed with the setup and attention to detail. They all look great, and had me itching to come buy one 😄
We have a couple laid out like this in Tennessee, I had to do a double take
