Retailers: Got Plants?

TCSlaguna — Mon, 09 May 2022 23:09:20 GMT

We love having plants at our store. We even name them!

Plants can make great decorations, help grab people's attention, and cleanse the air.

If you are a retailer, show us your store plants!

If you do e-commerce, show us your house / home office plants!

this is all I got at the shop. Probably going to grab a Snake Plant though. Shop doesn’t get much sunlight in it due to only having 3 small windows and a 6’ wide covered overhang but snake plant should do pretty good here

I love this post! Plants are amazing and can really make a space feel welcoming! I don't have a business, but we do have a lot of plants, and this one is my pride and joy. Her name is Aretha, and she's a goldfish plant. I got her in 2014 at a Home Depot in a small, 6" pot. I have 4 smaller plants that grew from her cuttings, too (and yes, they also have names 😎). This picture is a couple of years old - she is much bigger now and in serious need of a trim.

Love your plants! Snake plants are great. I want one now 🙂

Aretha is BEAUTIFUL! How cool that she birthed four smaller plants! I love the stand too.

I kill every plant I come in contact with. I was just telling a friend I wanted this cute plant from Lowes in the cutest planter for the store but dealing with me it's days would be numbered.

So freaking cute....

I'm also terrible with plants. I inevitably either over or under water them.

I'm so bad I killed a cactus when we were stationed in Arizona...Who actually kills a cactus?

This guy right here by overwatering. Somehow I haven't killed our saguaro, but I also haven't checked it in a while, so... 😅

@JUYBoutique20 I have killed a cactus! When I was a teenager in Northern Illinois, I bought one in a tiny pot at a gas station (it's a midwest thing, I guess??). I loved it to death...meaning I watered it too much and it didn't get enough sun. 😓

You know what, @JUYBoutique20? I think where you live makes a big difference. I was awful with plants until we moved to California. All of a sudden, I've got plants growing like crazy. They like the climate here, I guess!

Thanks @TCSlaguna! I love it, too! The stand belonged to my mother and she always had a plant on it, so I'm just carrying on the tradition! 🍃

Ok @TCSlaguna, I gotta know the names of your plants! I am a plant-namer, too. 😄

Speaking of plants, @SassyT sells plants and has some really cute plant-themed merch. I bought my mom the "Pot Head" shirt for Mother's Day and it just arrived. 😄

@Twiggy I was expecting something elaborate from you. Well done!

Where is this at? Front of store, outside, back?

Re: Retailers: Got Plants?

TCSlaguna — Tue, 10 May 2022 18:43:38 GMT

First one is Barbara (after owner's aunt).

Second one is Jerry (Seinfeld).

Third one is Thomas (after my late professor).

The rose is Rosalita.

That’s the front - that’s why we don’t have a cash desk - we serve you in the space - we might hide the reader in a plant to tap - to make it a bit more fun. You can just make out the door on the left by the olive.
