Plants sold in The Land

[Kat in GA]

We got a vanilla one at the beginning of April - it's pretty slow growing and still in the original container. For those of you that have them - how long til you needed to transplant??

 

[mousiemom]

Love it!

These are added to my list for my next trip. DH has green thumbs (and toes) and he would love to have a bit of Disney magic growing at home.

Those are cool! Does any know how much they are?

 

[Kat in GA]

I can't recall exactly the price - but I think $12.95 - and you cannot use your AP discount on them.

Thanks for posting this. What a cool idea! Definately on my list for next trip.

Any Canadians know if I would be allowed to bring that back across the border?

Thank you for sharing this!

Many times I've looked at that and though of my ill-fated Chia-Pet experience.

I'm going to get one!

Thanks so much!

I have the vanilla plant and another one which I can't remember what it is . Maybe it's a passion fruit??? I lost one vanilla plant over the winter (we were away for a month and I really thought it'd be ok--but it wasn't) but bought another in March. It's looking good and I remain hopeful for their survival.

Ooh- thanks for the pic of the plant after a year-- I see hidden Mickeys in it!!!

Can't wait to buy one of my own!

Wow, this is awesome! I have never heard of this before, thank you so much for sharing this with us! I am a huge fan of Living with the Land, and I will definitely have to pick one of these babies up next time.

I texted a friend of mine today about hers. I got it for her last January (it being passionfruit) but she's since moved to Boston and this thread made me think "I should check on it". She says it's alive and well and she'll send me a picture when she gets a chance. I'll post it here when she does.

This is my new must have Pick up for this year, and if I have any luck with it, maybe the next year too, and the year after that.....

Do they stay as indoor plants?

 

[aubriee]

Oh I want one too! We will be flying back to California with it - anyone know if its an issue crossing state lines with this or is in exempt?

I would ask. I know I was over at Universal a couple of years ago in that shop in the Hidden Continent. They had the cutest money tree plants. I wanted to bring one home to a coworker who is a plant nut. However, they had signs on the shelves where they were sitting, saying they could not be transported by air to Texas, New Mexico, or California (basically any state that touches Mexico). I did ask and was told that the airlines would take it. The following May I was at Epcot for the Flower Festival and saw one of the venders had the same money plants. They did not have a sign on them, so I asked the vender, who said she didn't think it'd be a problem and she thought the law may have changed. I told her I'd probaby be back on my last day to get one then. The next day I was back over at Universal and walked in that same gift shop I had originally seen them in a few months before. The sign saying they could not be transported to Texas, New Mexico, or California was still there. I told the CM what the Epcot vender had told me the day before and asked if maybe it had changed. She said she didn't think so, but would call someone and make sure. She did and came back to tell me it had not changed and that if I bought the plant I would lose it at the airport. A few days later I was in the gift shop at AKL and saw the same plant in cute little animal planters. I decided to ask again. I took one to the cashier and asked. She said as a matter of fact they did have a short list of states that they could not be transported to and she thought Texas might be one of them. She said no one ever asks, so the CMs usually forget to say anything. She looked under the counter, found the list and sure enough the states were Texas, New Mexico, and California, just like the Universal CM had told me. Even after I asked, the Epcot vender said it fine and was going to let me buy one. Now I don't know if that restriction is for all plants or just certain ones, but I know the money plants are not allowed to be flown to those three states. That same trip I asked another vender who was selling orchids at the Flower Festival about flying with one of them and she looked at a list and told me I could not fly an orchid to Texas either. Since then, I have not even asked about any other plants. It has something to do with our states being connected to Mexico I think.

To OP: yes that is a kalanchoe. Alot of people use them around here for house plants, patio plants, or in their cactus gardens. They are considered a succulent I believe and are very easy to grow. When it gets a little older it will have tiny red, pink, orange, or yellow flowers. At least they do around here. I have a pink one and a yellow one on my patio. I got mine at Walmart's, not Epcot though. lol Other than watering them once a week or so, I never do anything to them, except bring them when the weather gets colder. Here's some pictures of them with their blooms:

Oh my gosh, that is so cool! I cant wait to pick some up on my next trip! Does anyone know if I'll hVe trouble growing them in California? (i know certain plants only thrive in crrtain climates) and are any indoor only plants? also, where exactly can i find these in the land? and lastly, how long can the plant stay in the package? is it something we'd have to purchase the last day of our trip? thank you so much!!

 

[t_daniels]

Those are so cool!! I will have to pick one of those up. I saw that they sell venus flytraps as well. My son would love! to have one of those.

Thanks for the pictures/prices.

My DH would love a flytrap. I'm in! haha

Vanilla? Yum.

We didn't even go to the Land last time. Think it's a must do now..

I'm glad that everyone is loving the plant! It really is a great souvenir for a WDW/EPCOT lover!

That being said, if I've stirred up a ton of interest in these things and they're sold out when I go in August, I'm going to put voodoo curses on all your plants!

(Just kidding! )

Ha ha! Based on your ticker it looks like we will be there at the same time. Wanna race

You're on! I get there on the 24th and we're hitting DTD and maybe a stop at MK for a nighttime Jungle Cruise before bed. Our first full day is EPCOT, so I'll be headed over to pick up my little plant first thing! We'll be at AK on your arrival day, so I'll wave from the top of EE!

I always look at those and wonder how they would do. Any ideas on how I can keep our cat away from it? I can't have any plants or flowers in the house or my cat eats them But I would love to have a plant to remind me of my happy place every time I looked at it
