I'm curious to hear what unique items or plants you all think should be available at plant shops or nurseries but typically aren't. It could be anything from rare plants to specific gardening supplies. What do you think?

I've noticed many shops lack essential products we usually have to buy from Amazon or Walmart, like Sansi grow lights and stackable moss poles. I’m trying to steer clear of those big box stores, so it’s become a challenge to find these items locally. What about you guys?
Also, a dedicated spot to put my bag and coat while I browse would be great. It’s tough trying to look at plants without worrying about knocking something over!
Honestly, I’d love to see more cuttings at plant shops. They tend to have only fully grown plants, and I want to grow my own from the start without spending a fortune!
It would be amazing if they had self-watering pots and other helpful amendments like rooting hormone. I always have to get that stuff online.
Clear nursery pots are a game-changer for me! Being able to see the roots and check moisture levels easily has made such a difference.
And what's the deal with 3-inch terracotta pots? You can find tons of 2-inch or 4-inch, but the 3-inch ones always sell out so fast at my local store! It’s the perfect size!
I totally agree! Most shops seem to lack adequate supplies beyond the basic stuff like Miracle Grow and mismatched pots. Where’s the moss poles or any decent soil amendments? It's frustrating!
I'm really on the hunt for root growth hormone. I’m new to propagation and want to experiment but don't want to resort to online shopping. Has anyone found it in-store?
I feel you! I wish they had more grow light options too. And definitely bigger bags of cactus soil. Those tiny bags just don’t cut it for me.
I’ve been hoping to find those stunning variegated dwarf umbrella plants in stores. Their yellowish-green leaves are just so beautiful!
If it helps, I found "Take Root" rooting hormone at Walmart. Might be worth checking out!
