- I finally visited an Armstrong Nursery while here in Southern California. I wasn't disappointed! They are huge and have a great selection of houseplants (rare and common), succulents, cacti and garden plants. Their prices range in affordability, but I think it depends on the region you're in. Enjoy!

I love your videos ! Loved the “ string of dolphins , no thanks!! “ my favorite Utube that actually knows the names of cacti and succulents!
Awesome! Thank you!
The philodendron Summer Glory is my absolute favorite plant!!! Not only is it large and easy to care for, but the beautiful coloring of the new leaves is such a joy. I highly recommend this for any plant parent!!
It really is a beautiful plant. thanks so much for stopping by Debra!
Had a great time touring with you dear Carmen

Always a pleasure to go plant shopping with you, Ms Whitehead.
You are so welcome Mike! thanks for stopping by!
This was so fun! …really curious what you picked up….
…plus you know someone is a natural beauty when they’re out in daylight without ring lights, and they still look good!
🍃💕🦋💕🍃
Oh my gosh! Thanks so much for the kind words.
Ok, here’s what you need to do the next time you venture west……
Fly out to your destination.
Rent a giant U-Haul and drive back to Fla, hitting every nursery along the way, buying whatever you want because, hey, you’ve got the room! 👍🏼🤣
Great video🥰
Great idea Pammie! I may have to do that. Thanks for visiting!
Love cacti succulent 💘 beautiful plant's I will bring home 🌵 cactus succulent thank u Carmen for sharing

Carmen you look great that blue chair with your outfits just perfect.
Thank you!
A great shop,love all the strings of !👍
Hope you came home with the variegated jade🤞
💚🌵🌱☘️💚
Stay tuned! I've got a couple more nursery visits before the haul video.
Stunning! I like the syngonium neon! But I love them all!
Thank you! 😊
Oooof that hybrid was gorgeous 🎉❤
Yes it was! If I was driving back to Florida, then I would definitely have picked it up.
Beautiful succulents. Have a blessed day.
Thanks so much! I appreciate all your support.
I’ve had my variegated Jade about six years. It’s been on my window sill.
👍🏽💚 Nice video
That's a great tip, thanks!
What a beautiful plant shop. tfs🪴🌵
You're so welcome Debra! I really wish they would open one in Florida (near me of course!).
Wow, nice selection of plants! You look great sitting on the patio set with the fiddle leaf fig. Thanks for taking us along Carmen & looking fwd to seeing your purchases. Safe travels!
Thanks Carol! I really was comfortable there. I could have stayed all day.
I have been enjoying your videos so much and it's so nice to see you looking and sounding so well!!
Oh thank you! I'm so glad you enjoy them.
If you ever come to Upstate New York I’ll take you to our local shops. Just don’t come Nov- May you would freeze!
You look so well in the beautiful sunny California!
Don't worry I will make sure it's in the Summer! LOL!
Hi Carmen!....always enjoy your videos....I learn so much. Thank you!🇨🇦
I'm so glad! thanks for stopping by!
They have the most beautiful plants I seen a few I would get
I did end up getting a couple. I'll have the haul video soon.
It looks like plant paradise. I would have to bring a clean credit card and a big car! By the way, you look amazing. Loving the new hair! Stay well, stay safe and keep growing. ❤️
Thank you so much!
Lovely garden centre ❤👍
Thanks for visiting!
Yeah, I went to an Armstrong’s in San Diego. I believe could’ve been on the side of town so I don’t know. But it was fun and I think you’re having a lot of fun. Good job.
Thanks Debi! I would love for them to open up some stores in Florida.
Very nice place!
It's the diffenbachia reflector, the variegated jade and the variegated peace lily for me (well, mainly...). 🙃
...Also, I just got my two little variegated jade plants. But they are much smaller than they are in this shop.
Thanks Andee! I may have gotten one or two of the ones you listed. LOL!
So exciting!!
It really was. I had wanted to visit them for a long time.
That was a wonderful review, Carmen! I have an Armstrong down the street from me and I've been going there for as long as I can remember. Must be 40 years although it was a Nurseryland before it became Armstrong. I did notice their prices went up significantly after the pandemic. 🙁 I think they should hire you to do their marketing!
I'd be glad to have them fly me out and do some videos for them.LOL!
I went plant shopping today I purchase 3 succulents and a arrowhead couldn't find no vergrated plants!! But I got a deal!! I love your plants. Keep showing us❤❤
That is awesome! I have more great videos from my trip coming up, so stay tuned!
Carmen Me encanto 😮👍🏻💚💚💚🪴
Gracias!
Those costa farm plants are expensive. You can get costa farms plants in box stores for a lot less, but I'm sure you already know that. Great video.
You're right, I was surprised at the price also. They must not get the same discount as the big box stores.
Hi Carmen, I have the variegated peace lily, and this is the first garden center plant tour on YT that I have seen carrying one. I love mine and cannot wait to see her in flower.
Wow Wanda, that's good to know. Thanks!
well come to my state Carmen. Armstrong is where my ranchhands buy most of are supplies
I should visit your ranch while I'm in town! Let me know if you're available.
Wow,what a selection !!! TFS 😁
You are so welcome, thanks for watching!
That was a good video they had such a good selection good prices I would for sure gotten the variegated jade I love them but can never find one that was very big thank you for taking us along
I was surprised at some of the rare plants and good prices. Thanks for watching!
TFS Carmen, loved the tour. That nursery was so inviting, from the plants to the patio decor. Can’t wait to see what you’ve picked up, there was lots to choose from🤗. The peace Lily was a good deal. I have one and they need a bit more light that the regular green or the domino, she’s really easy care. Some of the prices were really good like the Thai for 249 I think, but the trending tropicals were a bit inflated. Looking good and so happy to be in your element plant nursery hopping🫶😂
Yes, you're right, the trending tropicals are much more affordable at the big box stores. Thanks for stopping by Elizabeth!
☺️looking forward to another haul but please be mindful of the shipping costs back to Florida. I sent my cousin some plants from NY( Long Island) and I swear the prices doubled from late last year. Ugh
@@elizabethgreco-nieves Funny you should mention that! I shipped them today. Yeah, I was surprised at how much usps is charging these days.
😩right Carmen, ugh, fingers crossed they make it back home safe and sound, and you as well🫶🫶🫶🪴
I would have picked up the 6.99 peace Lilly. The one variegated with the skinny leaves 😊. So many beautiful plants. How did you truly decide what to leave behind? 😊
Well, my check book helps me decide! LOL! But, you know me Sue. I did get the variagated peace lily. I'll have a haul video on my Cali plants soon.
@@carmenwhitehead Can’t wait to see the haul video 😊.
Sea Lavender? Never heard of it! Wow! Love it & the variegated jade & the 50% off pot with the large aeonium & jade in it. I tell ya, my blood pressure would be hitting the roof at these nurseries from all these nurseries. Lol
It was very hard choosing! But, my checking account helped me decide. LOL!
I do find the prices on the high side. Sometimes I can validate the prices considering how much care and time the grower spent looking after it over the years. I also understand if the plant is rare. What is your opinion of these prices?🇨🇦
For California, I thought they were ok. I have two more Cali videos coming up and you'll see some plants that are over priced and another nursery that has incredible deals. So, it all depends. I will also have a haul video soon.
Beautiful nursery.I would off pick the Var.Peace Lilly.They are so beautiful and easy to care.And the Var.Jade.Looking forward for the CA haul.
Good choice! I have two more Cali nursery videos and then the haul video. So stay tuned!
Someone please answer that phone lol
Beautiful plants ❤
Im in collection house plants flowers and vegetables this year.
That is awesome!
💚🌱💚🙏🏽🤗
Good deals? Ha! For millionaires. Jk. 😂 Well, it depends, I suppose. I’ve seen some random good deals there. Like a variegated _Philodendron_ ‘Jose Buono' and a 'Painted Lady' for like $19.99 ea., which are easily more at most places. They’re not that rare these days so I suppose it’s expected to go down though.
Meanwhile, the most common, run-of-the-mill plants at Armstrong are vastly overpriced, sometimes comically so. Yet something rare, or a "hot commodity", is suddenly available there for $20. 🤔😬
Still, I like that you’re paying for their (likely) above average SELECTION of, overall, VERY healthy plants. So you just weigh your options, like anywhere… I will say their plants are consistently high in quality, and of course they always look healthier with all that signature leaf-shine they apply! 🤣
Hello po maam watching from Philippines
Thank you so much! Welcome!
❤️❤️❤️
💕💕💕💕🙏🏿🙍🏿♀️
Pick up the phone. 😮
I always say that when a phone goes off in my videos. LOL!
I've heard people say terrible things about how overpriced this place is 😅
I didn't think they were over priced. They had some good deals actually.
I don’t recommend anyone ever get the hoya princess it takes FOREVER to grow
That’s odd, mine seems to grow pretty well. Maybe try higher light an fertilizing helps too, I foliar feed with super thrive Hoya love it. 💚
Mine grow like weeds all of them I have 4 Hoya princess one is 5 ft long
