i went to lowes tonight to sight see in the garden center after class tonight. and of course they have tropicals in there that are reduced. i was going to bring this majesty palm home that had seen better days( long long ago and in a galaxy far far away!) got it up to the register and got a real good close look at it...it had scale all over it. well i decided that it had to stay right where it was. to make matters worse, they had a pineapple plant there that apparently someone had cut the pineapple off of and it couldnt have been more then 4 inches big( the actual fruit).(im judging by the thickness of the stem it wasnt even 1/2 inch thick.) then i go look at some of the crotons they had and half the limbs were busted off the plants and just left in the pots. i picked up another type plant and turned it to read the label and about 1/2 cup of water dumped all over the floor. that really does burn my banana, i wanted to smack the manager in his face, right there in the middle of the floor. some of these people that they hire as experienced plant people are just plain IDIOTS! im not going to lowes to buy plants anymore, ill just go to the gh and the garden centers. at least those people know that water is the life of the plant, but it can also be the death of a plant.:( :0491: :mad:
