If you love houseplants, you probably know how easy it is to get overwhelmed with too many plants.  Likewise, if you are just starting out with plants, it is hard to find mature plants to fill in the spaces in your home.  Craigslist is a fantastic way to get rid of extras and find beautiful, mature plants from people who have just accumulated too many plants.

If you look in the Farm & Garden and Household sections of Craigslist, you can often find a variety of houseplants available for little or no money.  Sometimes you can even find rare or expensive plants on there for very little.

If you have a smartphone, look in your app market for Craigslist apps.  You can download one that will create an automatic alert for you, which eliminates the need to manually look through the listings all the time.

If you are looking to rehome your plants, take good photos of them and post them in either of those sections – Farm & Garden or Household.  Chances are, you will find them new homes in just a day or two.  Craigslist is a very popular place to buy and sell, which will help you in your quest to find a new home for your houseplant.

In the spring, look for vegetable and annual starts on Craigslist as well.  You can get homegrown, inexpensive plants that are often healthier and hardier than commercial plants that are mass produced in nurseries.

Whether you are looking to give or get your plants, take advantage of the popularity of Craigslist to get fast results.
