Ich wollte schon eine Weile einen njoy pothos. 1. Ich bin billig und mag es nicht, den vollen Preis für irgendetwas zu zahlen, 2. Ich ziehe es vor, aus Requisiten zu wachsen, anstatt eine ausgewachsene Pflanze zu kaufen, weil die Zufriedenheit und 3. dies nur an der Seite der Pflanze hängte, und meiner persönlichen Meinung nach sah es ungleichmäßig aus.

If you took it out of a pot or off a vine it was growing from, that’s stealing. Even if you thought it looked imbalanced. It’s one thing if the vine was on the floor and clearly no longer attached to the plant….its a different story to harm the plant to take home a cutting for yourself.
You did it for the greater good
Some people have ugly true colors.
I wouldn’t ever trust you and your friends should be warned that you’re a thief.
Oof, OP, I understand where you’re coming from but if I was the person whose plant you chopped I would be mad.
It was literally hanging off of the plant in a grocery store 😪 like broken. I was trying to be funny with my remark about it being uneven.
You forgot to get their siblings.
The calluses on the plants and the fibers being so stringy and dry AS WELL AS the stalk curling on itself a bit are clear indications that this plant has been broken a while. I am sorry this comment section is being so mean to you, but I went ahead and broke one of my pothos to show what a healthy stalk breaking looks like so hopefully these people can lay off can attach a video of me breaking it too if anyone is curious so you can see the difference in a plant being broken and one evidently hanging by plant fibers

Nah you should do it again
NTA
PS just to even out the haters I’d send you props. Everyone needs a win on bad mental health days and a single leaf/stem ain’t nothin for some plants!
If it was broken and hanging by a thread it was bound for the trash anyways. I understand the guilt, but giving it a second chance is a nice thing I think. The plant for sale will also live, so the store lost nothing. Little Miss Self-righteous Martyrdom needs to step down off her cross and take a breath.
Oh no how will the multi-billion dollar corporation ever recover! Lol some of these comments
Nah, you’re fine. When I find a busted plant I always ask at checkout if it’s okay or if they want a dollar or two for it and explain I either found it broken or on the floor. Most say it’s fine and wish me luck on propagating. In fact, I’ve never been told I couldn’t take a busted plant piece.
But it does calm the nerves about taking the bits and bobbles.
All good in my opinion. I’ll tend to dig a little in the top bit of alocasia pots for corms or bulbils at big box stores. I’m not paying $30 for an overwatered plant in shitty coco coir.
Straight to jail you proplifter! 🌱
If you feel bad about it, don’t do it again. This just seems like rage bait lol
Everybody’s fighting over morality and I’m just over here like *that’s gonna take 100 million years to grow into a nice looking plant* 🌝
Good LORD does N’Joy grow slowly… at least in my experience 🦥😅
I’m literally growing a garden in order to donate food to local food pantries, for those of you questioning my integrity and morals. 🫶
Don’t feel bad they will litterally let plants die and send them back. And the average consumer won’t even know it was missing
Dude who cares, you’re totally fine. If it’s a mom and pop business hanging on by a thread, that’s one thing. But from a large chain grocery store? I’ve stolen much worse.
You could walk out of that store with every plant they have and I’d still cheer for you.
They’ll let 90% of them die anyway, so really proplifting is rescuing the poor things.
as long as it’s not a mom and pop store there no problem
All those silly comments aside, I also got a prop this size of an njoy a while ago, and oh my fucking god no one warned me how slow-growing njoys are lol
I spoke with an employee at Home Depot whose station is their garden center. He explained that they toss 1k+ plants per week. They are ordered to by the supplier. They can only mark them down so far. I asked if we can take them from the trash and he says no and home Depot has no say over it. The growers that supply them stipulate the terms this includes pricing and what is considered theft. I think it’s safe to say that they do not condone taking what you deem broken or otherwise trash. If that were the case, they wouldn’t take measures to utterly destroy them – voluntarily losing any chance of making a sale (not willing to further discount) as well as ensuring that we, the plant fiends, are not getting our hands on any of their product without paying a price that they’ve set for it.
So yeah, floor = stealing. Broken = definitely stealing.
Who cares lol a lot of the time they belong to the vendor anyway so really who TF cares.
I may or may not pull leaves off succulents at Home Depot. 😐
Never, but there’s a major difference between upholding a personal standard shaming others so mercilessly
