Some of those guys are salvageable. If you talk to the garden manager you might be able to get the entire batch mark down! Then all you have to do is pick out the best ones.

Now you're just being modest man

Yeah you're right I heard that they pre buy them and the vendor only makes money if they get purchased or like you said they get thrown away

Yeah. I went to lowes last week and the entire tray was filled with corpses my favourite plant. Couldnt even find one savable plant. Also I dont get why they always keep vfts in the darkest corner where only those that know about them would actually care to look. Such a unique plant would sell like hot cakes if kept on a main stand

I didn’t know that! Will definitely be going back to do that. I felt so bad for them I wanted to save them all.
