Guide to Proplifting: How to find free plants!

By letter2self on November 9, 2022



DISCLAIMER: I do not condone shoplifting or purposely breaking off leaves or branches, I am simply showing you how to propagate something on the ground, already broken and destined for the trash; such as a small succulent leaf found on the ground. There is definitely a grey area with the legality of this practice, and I DO RECOMMEND ASKING STAFF before taking anything home. With this video I walk you through the technique of finding broken leaves or branches found on the floor of your local garden center, with the aim to propagate aka: proplifting. This is a practice that is somewhat controversial, especially if you are looking for the leaves at a business such as Home Depot, Lowes, Wal-Mart etc. This is not something I suggest that you do at a small nursery, botanical garden or private property… Absolutely do not purposely ruin stock and do not pull leaves off of plants.

That said, it is very easy to grow a wide variety of plants FOR FREE from just a small leaf or branch. Come along with me as I show you, step-by-step, my process of finding leaves at Home Depot and bringing them home to propagate.

I’d love to hear your opinion in the comments, is this something you do? Is it something allowed at your own local garden center? Is it something you think is morally wrong? Let me know!
