Where do you all buy your plants from? The garden centre near us has lots but they are £££
The Snake Plant was reduced in a local-type/food M&S for about £8, most of which was probably for the pot. The others at work were generally abandoned in classrooms and offices during lockdown and only retrieved after around 6 months unwatered and untouched. The Jade plant/crassula/spider/etc came from tiny bits that fell off somebody else's plants at work and came home in my lunchbox before being stuck in water or soil and doing their thing. The avocadoes came from lunches and the Ivies came from the ones growing outside.
Some were from Sainsbury's in their plant lucky dips on delivery, usually under a fiver with a pot. I think the majority of the others came from a market stall for around £2-3, couple from IKEA for about the same.
The most successful one so far has been the Monstera. That was in Waitrose reduced to clear for £2 as it consisted of one seed leaf, one half dead leaf about three inches across and a slight bulge in the stem above a break where the previous leaf had been snapped off.
The only garden centre plant was £1.59.
I do need to add some more this morning, though. Another five crassula, as the cat knocked the pot over yesterday afternoon, so it got split, repotted and the little bits will also most likely turn into plants if suitably neglected. And whilst I was at it, DP decided that there were some seeds he'd picked up that wouldn't hurt to try out. Not sure what they are going to be, but it'll be interesting if any germinate.
And he's just put a mini shelf up on the side of the fridge, which just happens to be both the perfect size for holding herb pots but is also in direct line of daylight. So there will likely be some more growing herbs around soon - although the supermarket Rosemary I bought in about 2013, looking sad and droopy definitely prefers it outside - I chopped it back to about a three foot by three foot bush a few weeks ago so we could get into the house without smelling like a leg of lamb all the time.
I have been wondering about getting some cheap LED/full spectrum grow lights, as there are easily a couple more places that could take a plant or five.
The only place there aren't any plants are the bathrooms - one has no natural light and the other one, well, it's the favourite place for all the plants to live going how they react to being dumped in the bath and forgotten about for a few days. If they were allowed to stay there, we'd need a machete to go to the toilet at night.
