Its wonderful to see that people care.... even if the masses say its only a plant. I have serval large or to be large plants i will have to possibly rehome one day. assuming they live that long.
Home depot isnt great for plant shopping IMHO. while there prices are fantansic in my area they dont even properly cover plants up when you must bring them outside to a car/mode of transportation in mn in november/december. Keep in mind that by buying plants from those places you are helping put more plants in that suitation- supply and demand so to speak.
