The ultimate plant shopping showdown is here! 🌿 We’re hitting the streets of Plano, Texas, to settle the debate: Home Depot vs. Lowe’s. Which big box store actually reigns supreme for houseplant lovers?
In this deep-dive comparison, I’m putting these retail giants head-to-head. We’re looking at everything from plant health and organization to the “big three” factors: Selection, Stock, and Pricing.
The Battle of the Brands:
🔥 Team Home Depot: We’re hunting for the newest Proven Winners leafjoy® releases, Vigoro, and Nature’s Way. I found the viral Anthurium Heart’s Desire for under $20 (total game changer!) and the stunning Variegated Philodendron Green Congo ‘Nuclear’ for under $15. Are these prices too good to pass up?
🔥 Team Lowe’s: It’s a Costa Farms takeover! I’m walking through massive restocks of the Exotic Angel collection and the Trending Tropicals line. From Live Trends designs to Urban Jungle vibes, Lowe’s is packed with easy-care Philodendrons and a selection of “Littles” that rivals anything I’ve seen this year.
In this video, I cover:
✅ Price Comparison: Who actually has the better deals on rare-find tropicals?
✅ Buy or Pass? I walk you through my thought process on which plants are steals and which ones you should leave on the shelf.
✅ Budget Hacks: How to navigate big box stores to save the most money on your indoor jungle.
✅ The Verdict: Watch until the very end to see which store won the “Plano Plant War” and see exactly what I decided to bring home!

Plano really delivered today, but I have to know—who wins in your city? I’m still shaking over that $15 Variegated ‘Nuclear’ Congo at Home Depot, but the Costa Farms restock at Lowe’s was elite.
Drop a comment below and tell me:
1⃣ Which store is winning the "Plant War" in your area right now?
2⃣ What is the BEST "big box" score you’ve found so far this spring?
3⃣ Should I do a follow-up tour at Walmart or IKEA next? 🛒
I’ll be hearting and replying to as many of you as I can! Let’s settle this in the comments! 👇
#TeamReplay! 🎉 Ding Ding Ding ROUND TWO! 🔔
6:55 I got a creeping Sedum the same color as a Neon Pothos for my terrarium. It adds a TON of bright color in the terrarium, I love it and it’s neon color! 💚 #neonplants2026
21:48 I would skip the Anthurium, but that’s just me and my personal plant interests. But it is very pretty and I love the silver.
22:36 Hoya Callistaphyla at a BIG BOX store?!?! I think that is one of my favorite Hoyas, and bonus points for Home Depot for that one too! 💚
23:53 Shout out to Fran! 🎉
24:50 #popularizeaglaonema 💚🩷💚
26:11 Breaking News Fittonia is beautiful! 😍
27:00 Home Depot is definitely winning at the Hoya game!
Home Depot is the winner to me
43:12 It’s the king’s Heeedraaa Heeelix! 👑
44:59 I would have never considered buying ferns if I hadn’t discovered terrariums! They’re beautiful, but I just could not keep one alive outside of a terrarium.
48:00 I would skip the Manjula, but only because I already have one.
Both of the Kimonos look great on you, Richie!❤🌸
50:50 Overwatered Aglaonema. -10 point penalty for Lowe’s! 😂
💚#teamgrowtalks💚
52:07 Lowe’s is bringing the selection of Heeedraaa Heeelix! 💥
Beautiful Scindapsus Java Platinum!💚✨
#TeamReplay🌿🎉
58:25 What a beautiful sea of leaves! 😍
59:25 Caleatheas NEED a self watering planter, for sure! 😂
1:06:15 Beautiful Scindapsus! ❤
Home Depot wins
Lowes is way better than home depot! Home depot rarely has anything on sale and lowes has stuff on clearance constantly! I am in NC/VA area and have planted over 600 perennials, evergreens, roses, etc… and 99% of them hage come from clearance section at lowes!
Lowes is the best but my Lowes in Laurel Mississippi is mostly empty except for outside plants❤❤❤❤❤
Costa Farms ❤❤❤
Great one Richie!!!
