Would it be safe to accept an offer of a plant on here?
Is it safe to accept an offer of a free, for trade or pay for a plant on here? Just curious. Thanks!

Re: Would it be safe to accept an offer of a plant on here?
One more thing though. Does anyone here ever offer a free plant? I was already offered 2 I believe. Not sure if it was free though.

Re: Would it be safe to accept an offer of a plant on here?
I'll send you one. I have pups coming out of my ears, can only keep so many. However I am a stone cold rookie who's only claim to fame is a freakishly large plant named Lou Ferrigno and a $25 Home Depot rescue named Jean....

Re: Would it be safe to accept an offer of a plant on here?
Ive traded, purchased, and been given plants by several members on here. Ive yet to have a bad experience, and all of them were/are great folks! Just remember that even a "free" plant requires time for packaging and mailing on the part of the "giver", as well as shipping costs. I am a firm believer that in a one sided transaction, such as someone giving you a plant, shipping it etc, that you should compensate that individual for their time, effort, and expenses. If trading plants, go the extra mile to package well, and pay for expedited shipping. The other party will likely do the same.

Hey, just a note. I was just curious if anyone had ever heard of someone being able to receive a free plant on here.
