August Home Depot Plant Hauls

So, I recently got new glasses, and...

The place I got them from happens to be in the same shopping center as my local Home Depot, and...

I haven't browsed their garden center in a long time, so...

I got some new plants!

This first one is a corpuscularia lehmanni, commonly known as an ice plant. It was priced at $4.98. I normally wait until the end of August to buy succulents at Home Depot because they usually have good sales for them then, but I couldn't wait. The shape of the leaves is so cute, they remind me of little crab claws.

The label for this one just said it was a "tropical" plant, annoyingly vague.  Google Lens told me it was a pilea involucrata 'Norfolk', or a Norfolk friendship plant. It was $5.98. The coloring and wrinkled leaves reminds me of my dearly departed hemigraphis alternata, or Purple Waffle Plant. Hopefully, this one will be easier to keep alive.

The label on this one just said "Peperomia", great except there are like thousands of different peperomia plants. Google Lens says it is possibly a peperomia 'hope'. It was $5.98. The leaves are adorable and I love how they're group in threes with the stems growing from the center.

Another succulent, this is a ledebouria socialis, aka a Silver Squill or Leopard Lilly. It was $5.98.  It really caught my eye with the pretty pattern on its long leaves. I was actually surprised to see it with the succulents, it resembles a lot of tropical plants I've seen.

This last plant I actually got on a different trip about a week and a half later.  Same story, I needn't something at a shop that just happened to be near the Home Depot. I actually only intended to buy some seeds, a microgreens mix, more on that later.

I spotted this beauty on the way to checkout, priced at $9.98 with a decorative pot. It's a hoya carnosa 'Freckles Splash'. With those thick shiny deep green leaves and the pretty splash pattern, it just had to come home with me.

I will be sure to share more later about how they are doing and what I've learned about them.

Until then, stay green.
