I literally gasped when I saw what was out on the shelves during this plant shopping trip—the prices and the varieties were honestly wild. I’m talking Philodendron Green Congo Nuclear for $29 (huge and ridiculously healthy), Philodendron Blizzard for $28, and even a Monstera Black Onyx for $22 (I’d never heard of it before, so if you know more about it, tell me—because it’s giving a little Monstera Peru vibe, but it’s definitely its own thing). This is exactly why I always say: keep your eyes open when you’re out shopping, because the “rare” stuff is showing up way more than it used to. I also found a Hedgehog Snake Plant for $13 (of course I brought it home), plus some really fun, affordable finds like a Tradescantia Velvet Stripe, a Snow White Zebra Plant for $11 with extra variegation, and a bunch of gorgeous begonias—especially if you love angel wing/cane types like I do. And the anthuriums? Anthurium clarinervium for $17 and Anthurium dorayaki for $26 had me thinking back to when these were easily hundreds of dollars. I rounded it out with some trendy picks like Aglaonema pictum tricolor for $30 and super healthy Lithops pots for $16—so yes, keep an eye out, because the deals are out there.
