If you have a few tips and tricks, it's not difficult to purchase a cheap plant. First, don't buy it unless it's already potted. This way, you'll avoid paying too much for a plant that's not going to live up to your expectations. It's a good idea, second, to search for a used plant, especially if it has a low cost.
A good place to find a cheap plant is the "clearance" section of a gardening store. Often, they will sell dying plants for a penny each. You can save yourself the trouble of having to replant a dying plant by purchasing a used coffee stirrer. Then you can coat it with varnish. You can also get free shower caps from hotels to nurse your plant. In both cases, it's important to water the plant regularly and avoid touching its leaves with plastic.
Third, check out free-cycle.com, where you can sell and swap items for free. This site is a great place to find free stuff. It's a treasure trove of amazing free stuff. Search for "free tree in your neighborhood." Many cities and states offer free trees. Look online to see what's in your vicinity.
Terrain, an internet plant retailer, offers something more exotic. This online retailer is known for a large selection of rare and unusual plants, including the Tricolor Stromanthe Plant, the Rex Begonia Plant, and the Variegated Peperomia Plant. In addition to rare and exotic plants, this site carries the more common house plant favorites such as succulents and Philodendrons. The prices for most plants are between $30 and $100.
When buying a cheap plant at the clearance section of a local store, remember to look at the lighting. Poor lighting will make the leaves burnt and cause them to stretch to the light. The plant will eventually look dead. Another option is to save a plant from clearance. A succulent plant requires sufficient light, and if you don't provide it with enough, it will become super-lengthy in order to reach it. If you overwater a maranta plant, it will likely develop spots and brown tips.
If you're looking for a cheap plant, you can also buy it from Amazon. Amazon plants prices can vary, but typically you can get a very cheap one for around $2. If you want a better quality, more expensive plant, try purchasing one from UrbanStems. Amazon and UrbanStems offer shipping free of charge and come with beautiful containers. So, if you don't mind paying a bit more, they're worth checking out.
