I mean, I DO get it. There’s lots of babies in that pot too. It’s a mature, cared for plant.
I think if you want to keep it as is, you should consider this like buying a colony instead of buying a single plant.
I think a Hercules is worth like 20$. 45 for a more mature plant + many babies seems decent to me.

Pretty sure I fought that exact specimen in Elden Ring; $45 seems fair.

$45 is unreasonable for a capensis hybrid. A small one will reach full size in a season if lit and fed well

I would get the small one and see if u can grow it into that

For a Hercules I wouldn’t pay that price personally. This plant looks to have had a lot of die back and is more likely to have future issues because of that. Hercules is not particularly uncommon so $45 for this sized plant is a bit ridiculous in my opinion.

No way. Offer 12 bucks for one of the larger baby hercules and go with that.

I would just buy a baby. Those things grow like weeds. In a year, you’ll have more than you could ever want.

If it’s for the full pot of them sure, if it’s just the one plant hell naw. If it’s rare in whatever country you’re in maybe?
