Are plants at discount stores good quality plants?
Have you ever bought a plant from those stores and suddenly, it rapidly drops leaves and dies? Many tropical plants intended for indoor use are field grown in full sun to accelerate rapid growth. They are often pumped with fertilizers and growth hormones to speed them into the marketplace. This practice delivers plants unacccustomed to lower light conditions present in most interiors and likely results in the plant’s failure and ultimatly death to many otherwise good plants. Plants are living things and deserve a chance. Failures growing indoor plants also damage people’s self confidence and add to America’s throw away mentality.
