Have you ever walked into a home improvement store and noticed the plants look… tired? Rows of greenery sit under buzzing fluorescent lights, leaves drooping, soil bone-dry, and roots stressed from too much handling. At first, it might seem convenient to toss a plant into your cart while shopping for paint or lightbulbs—but here’s the truth: that’s not where the freshest plants live.
Big-box stores treat plants like inventory, not living things. By the time one makes it onto the shelf, it has been grown in bulk, packed onto trucks, unpacked, watered inconsistently, and left to survive in poor conditions. That journey leaves plants stressed, weaker, and less likely to thrive when you bring them home.
Why Store Plants Fall Short
-
Overhandled and Stressed – Each transfer from greenhouse to truck to shelf weakens the plant’s root system.
-
Poor Lighting – Fluorescent bulbs aren’t designed to nurture plants, so leaves lose vibrancy quickly.
-
Limited Selection – You’ll find the same few species at every store, leaving little room for personality or unique style.
