[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, but you have to go frequently enough to catch them.  Shopper's Food Warehouse has astonishingly good deals on tall parlour palms, giant fiddleleafs, elephant ear, and diffenbachia.  But you have to catch them when they ship in.  They are always out on presentation as you walk in between floral and salad bar.  Usually $10.99 for palms as high as 7 feet.  I don't shop there regularly but always check when I walk in (hard to miss!).  When I see them I grab them and usually repot and fertilize.  I have about 16 throughout a 6,000 square foot house now.  Most will go outside when the weather gets warm.[/quote]

[b]I've never seen plants at a shoppers. Which one? That sounds like a great deal![/quote][/b]

the one on Jefferson Davis Hwy.  My DC's school is nearby so I shoot in there for something once every two weeks. As you enter, immediately to the right there is usually a shipping flat of tropicals - usually all of the same type - for $10.95.  It is hit or miss.  Clearly someone is buy lots of these plants somewhere so you never know what you'll find and they will usually all be the same plant.  But when the big tropicals are in I will grab them.  I usually repot and fertilize because I think sometimes Shoppers gets them cheap because they've overgrown their pots.[/quote]
