That $60 fern I bought at a farmers market died in 2 weeks
Saw this huge Boston fern at the Saturday market in Denver. Looked perfect. Guy said it was easy. Bought it for $60 and brought it home. Turns out it had root rot already from sitting in wet soil. Repotted it, tried everything, still browned out fast. Now I only buy plants from the local nursery that actually grows them. Anyone else get burned by market vendors with pretty but sick plants?
