I know plants can last decades but damn, pots have gotten just as expensive as everything else!
That said, I'm amazed, as a retailer, at price hikes over the past year in particular.
*off topic rant, sorry*
Not just pet supplies, where I'm buying cases of food for more than I used to sell them for, but groceries and plant supplies...pretty much everything I buy. Even houseplants, up about 20% depending.
It makes sense though. We have many international suppliers, and ocean freight has gone from $2,000 per container a couple years ago to $25,000+.
We're paying trans-Atlantic fees now for one company out of Germany.
Nurseries and Walmart are paying the same fees also.
The suppliers pass the extra cost on, as do retailers, so take it easy on your local plant shops if prices go up.
for you.
