Just make sure you repot them. I swear, I picked up a small lavender plant from the grocery store (it was $5 bucks & adorable, don't judge me) & the soil was made from freaking SHREDDED CARDBOARD!! How did it live long enough to get to the store?!?
The fillers in the container keep the plants moist enough during transit and then the days to weeks on shelves at the store until they get to a consumer. I do wish they had a lil note like hey repot me!
I know & I always repot any plant I get. But I keep meeting people who think you can just keep them in the original container or just plunk them down in a new pot without freeing the roots & they're amazed when the plants are dead in a week!
