šæ Great for plant lovers, houseplant collectors, and tropical garden fans!
Hello and welcome to Peggy’s Plants, comingĀ
to you from Central Florida. Today I’m taking you along with me to Lowe’s Garden Center toĀ
check out the plants. I’ll admit I’ve been a little out of the loop lately, so I want to seeĀ
if I’ve been missing out on any great plants. So, the first thing I see is this philodendron ringĀ
of fire. This is a part of the trending tropicals collection from Costa Farms and it’s not new toĀ
the collection. For a while it was hard to find but now it’s pretty readily available at leastĀ
in my area and the price is still 19.98 and it comes in this composite pot. All of the plantsĀ
over here seem to be in the trending tropicals collection but I’m not noticing anythingĀ
new. Um, yeah, pothos, painted lady. Yeah, nothing new, but it is sometimes hard to find,Ā
especially the older plants that came out when the when Costa Farms first started with the TrendingĀ
Tropicals collection. So, just showing you here an arrangement of plants typically used in our areaĀ
as outdoor plants. This would be really nice on a porch or patio. $ 36.98. Usually a very good dealĀ
when you can get an arrangement because you’re getting three plants normally at a good price.Ā
So, let’s see what else we can find here. Look over here. Some Thai Constellations. And these areĀ
a nice size. They look really healthy. And $59.98. Not a bad price. I know in some areas they’reĀ
less expensive, but I also know that a lot of times they’re much smaller. These look really goodĀ
and are fortunately becoming easier to find. Let me know what the plant what Thai constellations inĀ
this size cost in your area down in the comments box. I’m just curious in the different regionsĀ
of the country what they’re going for. I must say I’m a little disappointed. I haven’t really beenĀ
plant shopping lately and I expected to find some, you know, some things I hadn’t seen or whatever,Ā
but yeah, a little disappointed. These snake plants look really nice and they are 16.98. Yeah,Ā
just not really finding anything that’s catching my eye. That’s probably a good thing because IĀ
really don’t need any more plants at all. I am trying to work more with the ones I already have.Ā
Lots of hanging baskets and they are $20.98. Nice variety, but again, nothing unusual or nothingĀ
that’s catching my eye. These are pretty much all plants that are commonly found at Lowe’s.Ā
This is a nice looking um aglaonema for $50. Oh, look at these. Now, these snake plants areĀ
impressive. They are huge. And Oh, $49.98. That’s a little surprising. I didn’t expect the price toĀ
be that high. Although, they are some really nice looking, very large plants. I guess like the priceĀ
of a lot of things right now, they are increasing in price as well. Look at the fiddly figs. TheseĀ
are huge and very healthy looking, very nice looking plants. $120. Wow. Okay. Can’t say I’mĀ
paying $120 for a fiddly leaf fig or any other plant, but very healthy looking. Um, here we canĀ
grow them in the yard. In fact, I have one growing in my yard. Roses. These roses smell great. TheyĀ
lookand they smell amazing. Okay, I’m looking on here. They’re not telling me what type of roseĀ
they are, but they smell absolutely amazing. Moving on, here are some nice size orangeĀ
bird of paradise plants. These are more common than the white bird of paradise. I thinkĀ
these used to be the only ones you found. $50. A little pricey. Sorry about the sunlight.Ā
It’s evening and the sun is coming through. Um, some pothos plants here. Nice and healthyĀ
full pots. very reasonably priced at $16.98. Moving on, more birds of paradise. I don’t have anĀ
orange one. And here’s a nice size philodendron. These actually do very well for us outside in ourĀ
yard. I mean, I have some planted next to trees. They do very well. And let’s see what else we haveĀ
here. Look at this. This is something I haven’t seen. This is, I believe, an Alocasia Amazonica.Ā
Yes, it is. Do you see that price? $18.98. Compare that to what we used to get in the small ceramicĀ
Costa Farm pots. Yeah, look at that. In the nursery pot, a lot of plant. Really nice looking.Ā
I’m feeling like I want this plant, but I’m going to stick to it. I’m not buying this plant, butĀ
I definitely would. I really like these. These are copper leaf plants, and they get more and moreĀ
colorful as they grow. I think they’re absolutely beautiful. They turn into like a hedge,Ā
but they get rather large. Beautiful plant. This is I can’t pronounce the name. IĀ
don’t know if it’s curcuma or curuma. I know it’s in the ginger family.Ā
I love this plant. I’ve had one before. It didn’t do well for me. But IĀ
love the texture of the leaves and the bloom on these look like nothing I’veĀ
ever seen before. And these are $25. Look at them. And the blooms, as you can seeĀ
here, they come in different colors and they’re just like really unusual looking. I love theseĀ
plants. Don’t know if I’ll ever try it again, but when the last time I planted it wasĀ
outdoors was when I lived in the Keys, so the conditions here are quite different. So,Ā
they might do better here in Central Florida. So, I’m going to have to ah maybe one dayĀ
I’ll have these out in my yard. I don’t know. Moving inside to the house plants theyĀ
have here. A lot of smalls. Again, I’m just pretty much seeing more of what they had outside.Ā
Nice looking aglaonemas. These are common here. Um some alocasia regina or regina some crotens.Ā
Yeah. Not seeing um there’s a maculada. Not seeing anything different. So yeah, nice looking.Ā
Um golden crocodile is what um Costa Farms is calling this. I love this pot. Look at thisĀ
terracotta pot. $25. I really like the pot. Let’s see. Look at this Vanda Orchid. I loveĀ
Vanda orchids. I have some of these. I usually just buy them on clearance, but Oh, I love this.Ā
All of those roots. Yes. Let me see if I can find the price here. Oh my goodness. $54.98. TheseĀ
usually sell for or had been selling for $36.98. Over here are some shan gril a philodendron.Ā
It’s one of those plants you either love it or you really don’t like it. It’s in the trendingĀ
tropicals collection. Once again, I I for some reason I just can’t I don’t care for this plant.Ā
Can’t get it to focus. But there you 19.98 um as are the rest of the trending tropicals plants. SoĀ
yeah, not finding anything different but some very healthy looking plants. These are $14.98 and theyĀ
are alocasias also. Now, if you recall the pot, the nursery pot of alocasias outside for $18.98,Ā
you see the difference in price and what you get. But these would make a perfect gift for someone,Ā
something you want to sit on your desk or if you wanted to start off small. And you can’t beatĀ
these pots. I feel like the pots are stealing all the thunder from these plants. Look atĀ
these. I love them. I will be watching for clearance plants just to see if I can get my handsĀ
on some of these pots. Let’s look through here. I like these pots as well. I think these are, yeah,Ā
from Nature’s Way. I believe I have a green pot like this. Um I got a plant in and one of theĀ
reasons I bought the plant was because I like the pot so much. Um what is it? Live trends. I’mĀ
finding that I’m enjoying the pots more so than the plants. Um, more alicasias. And yeah,Ā
gotta look at these pots. I mean, $24.98. Got to love it. I love my orchids. When I firstĀ
started collecting plants, I was I started off with orchids. This is a Dendrobium orchid andĀ
they are 21.98. finding more of these right now. And look, the flowers are pretty much spentĀ
and have fallen off. So, I’m thinking that these will end up on the clearance rack here shortly.Ā
Trust and believe, I’ll be checking to see. Um, that’s usually how I buy most of my orchids. AndĀ
over here, some very nice looking bromeilads in wicker baskets. And they are, wow, $25. I mean,Ā
they’re a decent size, but I don’t know if I’d pay $25 for them. Um, yeah, but that’s the going rateĀ
right now. So, you know, if you want them, that’s what you’re going to do. Here are some back here.Ā
They are a little larger. Let’s see the price on these. Wow. $44.98 from Nature’s Way. Okay,Ā
prices have definitely gone up, but has to be exp. Look at this. Now, this is something I thinkĀ
I’m going to have to come back for, maybe. Let’s see the price on this. Wow. $39.98 for this hugeĀ
alocasia. I think these would look great around my screen room in my backyard. I’m going to have toĀ
think about these. Look at the size of the leaf. Amazing. Beautiful. Well, that’s about it forĀ
my Lowe’s plant shopping trip. I appreciate you taking time out to come along with me. I’m tryingĀ
to get back in the posting swing of things, but thank you so much for watching. Take care, stayĀ
well, and I hope to see you next time. Bye-bye.

Thank you Ms. Peggy. šššš
One YouTube video creator I watch found some very nice sized ones for $12.00 š¤šššš Thai constellations. šššš Missouri.
Plant prices in some areas are ridiculous! š„ŗšššš
Fun to see all the plants. Walmart here had mostly dead plants and I have heard they are not going to carry plnts in the winter now. Hope depot thins down on plants to make room for Christmas. I am totally out of space and have 15 large pants I am holding for a friend until they get their new house built.. I found I have just lost interest in growing great big plants and I am really o my hoyas and Rhipsalis/Jungle cactus. I feel like I can eep them all under control better. And I love when they bloom.
