    If you bring a plant from the dumpster your indoor air will be polluted.

    The plant I found in the dumpster would retail for around $134 at WALMART.

    It is a 6ft mother-in-laws-tougue with many stemmed roots.

    Awesome plant, however in the two years that I have had it, it has lost a few stems.

    Still, a great plant.

    Abe, I'm not touching that topic (gun control). Too explosive. I want to sleep well tonight.

    Fishhead - maybe you can meet some like minded people who also like to root through other people's trash.

    Any updates, Fishhead?

    You can let the forum know about any goodies you find while rooting through other people's trash.

    I'm on a plant-buying spree. Will also keep the updates flowing...

    No diving involved, these people politely leave their valuables laying next to the dumpster.

    Made about $2500 taking stuff to the local auction house last year from this junk...........little effort.

    Due to the explosion of interest in this topic, isn't about time we had a dumpster diving sub-forum?

    I will bump regularly with plant additions.

    At the same time, I will encourage Fishface to share trash treasures.

    My wife had to remove the large plant near the couch. I kept using it like a litter box. Who can run to the bathroom when your live dog is running the two-minute drill and your looking for that TD for a backdoor cover.

    So does that mean you weren't educated before you bought them?

    Name one of them Cougar Bait.

    And put a little beard on it, with some saliva dribbling out the side.

    I heard that also. They release more oxygen into the air so it helps you breathe easier.
