@peace6576 @LuvMyLab  Of course they have huge greenhouses, but aren't they in Alabama or somewhere? Those plants aren't ready to be shipped to QVC for several weeks of airing (under hot lights). They're doing the "miracle of TV" to sell their product. I don't see a problem with it. They are honest about it.

I'm not Mother Nature. Think about the logistics of it.

I realized years ago that the plants were fake when the vendor was shifting huge pots around the set with just one hand. Impossible with soil laden pots. And they didn’t do a lot of closeups at first either because the flowers were so obviously fake. I lost interest. It took them a long time to finally put the disclaimer on the screen. I don’t care how easy they say the plants are to grow—the truth is that you need the right soil, nutrients, sun or shade, and water. Knowing how to prune correctly helps too.

I disagree that using artificial plants/flowers was what the pop-up message was saying. It stated, I believe, that due to seasonal growing requirements, the vendor would occasionally need to substitute a plant that looks similar to but is not the actual species of plant being sold. It's not optimal, and it would be nicer if Phillip or whoever could come out and say as much during the presentation. Plants are possibly the only type of product I've never purchased on Q as I don't think I could ever get any of them to look  as gorgeous as the ones that are shown!
