Went to tropicals plus looking for a Christmas present for my mom. I met the woman running the shop/owner. Asked her if she had any recommendations for plants and her answer was simply no. After looking around the shop for about 20 minutes I found two things that I felt might be appropriate. At the checkout counter, I asked her if she had any tips for propagating the plant(s) into cuttings. She again simply said no. And I asked her why, and she said that she has never had success propagating plants.
So I declined to purchase anything from her shop. To me as the owner of a plant store, you should be able to provide simple advice, or suggestions to your clients on plants, as well as how to keep them healthy in the future. Will not shop here again, and I suggest that you do the same . There are other highly respected plant stores in the Pittsburgh area that will give you a quality house plant with quality advice. read more
