WHAT'S COOL AND SPECIAL? Cereus forbesii spiralis, the spiral cactus! From Brazil and looks like someone twisted the cactus into a perfect spiral. Pretty rare. Very cool. And, they are $30 off this week. Last photo. Yikes!
*** EcoGro is a nice shop with so many good things in it. Plus we have a really knowledgeable and nice staff. May look small but we have greenhouse complexes off site.
*** FREE CLASSES EVERY SATURDAY AT NOON. Next Saturday, the 1st of November, Dr. Heather Moroso will teach all about making and using salves.
*** EcoGro Garden shop is quite nice and is a "Destination Location"! (What does that really mean? Come by and see. COOL! ) Saturday Classes at Noon.
*** NEW POTTERY. We have a new supplier with lower prices. So, our prices are so low. Remember, buy a plant and a (now cheaper) pot and EcoGro will repot for FREE! When I write "lower", I mean LOWER! Probably beat BIG BOX store prices. Compare and save big time!
... how much cheaper, EcoGro? Well, a 51 cm ceramic bowl pot was over $60. Now, the same pot is only $25! Different supplier, cheaper prices.
*** Let us help you become a Weird Plant grower. You can easily have happy plants because ECOGRO IS THE WEIRD PLANT STORE and we teach you how to grow these beautiful plants. Succulents and Cacti of many colors. House plants of high degrees of beauty, but easy to grow. Check out the photos. Perfect for potting. Beautiful plants and pots. We repot for free when you buy plants and a pot* (up to 1 gallon of soil, then slight soil charge; no labor charge). If you bring in your own pots and buy a plant we'll repot just for the cost of the soil. Need a small work plant? Perfect, since we have several for you!
PLEASE NOTE: If you don't see something here that you like, we have more in our off-site greenhouses if we're out in EcoGro store. Just ask.

*** OK, WHEN ARE YOU GETTING TO THE PLANTS, ECOGRO? I promise, soon. EcoGro is open Wednesday through Sunday, 10 to 5. Please visit.
OK, for newbies, we have cool plants and they are just weird, but cool. We can help you pick some and teach you to care for them. That's what we do. Become a good plant Mom or Dad. It's not that hard. You can do it!
*** After you pass the Heirloom and Organic Garden Plant Starts and Fruit Trees, you walk into EcoGro and you first see and hear the AquaPonics systems and are greeted by our great staff. Next, you notice the WEIRD PLANTS. The more you look, the more you see the very cool plants, especially the cacti and succulents. Tropical houseplants abound, including some rare and unusual species. Then you notice there is a lot more and a Grow Room, with another AquaPonics system... it just gets better from there! (EcoGro is not a big store but we have so much to see. We have two large growing grounds offsite. So if what you want is not in the store just let us know and we'll bring them in for you.)
*** PRETTY PLANT + BEAUTIFUL POT + FREE RE-POTTING = SUPER WONDERFUL PLANTS. Super fast, too! Not only do we have great prices but we teach you how to raise the plants you "adopt". Don't forget soils and repotting. You know. Buy a PLANT and a POT ... and, we REPOT for FREE! (Of course, some tiny exceptions, like up to a gallon of soil.)
We have a good selection of rare plants, too. Some of them are only available from us. Plus, the prices will leave you pleasantly surprised!
THANK YOU for the love, the support. You helped us stay open, pay our employees and keep everyone healthy. WE LOVE YOU, TUCSON. New and exciting things for you. Same old great service! Can't wait to see you.

In and Out, that's the way at EcoGro. You come, see what you want, we take care of it. Off you go.
*** SO MANY. SO PRETTY. SO HEALTHY. SO INEXPENSIVE! Lots of plants for you.
........ Prevention of Mosquitos and those damned fruit flies (fungus gnats, actually): Empty all outside buckets, saucers, baby pools and anything that holds water after a rain. Turn them upside down. Tell your neighbors about it. Use MosquitoBits in the potting soil or floats for ponds and bird baths, it's BTI which kills mosquito larvae AND fungus gnats. Are those damn "fruit flies" making it uncomfortable in your house? BTI kills the fungus gnat larvae, too.
*** OMG! Every day we have NEW houseplants from our greenhouses. Just know this, we have beautiful specimens at really great prices. They are glowing with health and we'll teach you to just make them bigger and better. What about a new pot to definitely make the plant baby so beautiful?
........ Looking for LARGE and VERY COOL houseplants, at low prices? You have to see them at EcoGro!
TILLANDSIAS, I mean "Air Plants" are in.
..... Air Plants, too.
..... We teach you how to grow these beautiful plants.
*** QUICK NOTE ABOUT PLANT AVAILABILITY: The plants are constantly changing at EcoGro because we have so many at our greenhouses but the store can hold only so much at a time. We are keep many varieties in the store but they may be at our greenhouses. If you are making a special trip for a certain plant please call first so that we can make sure it's here or bring it to EcoGro for you. There will always be cool plants at the store.
*** High up on the Cool Meter. That's what it means to shop at EcoGro. Look!
*** Just delivered from our growers, incredibly beautiful cool house plants!
*** Don't forget, buy a plant and a pot ... then we pot them for FREE!
ANY QUESTIONS OR THOUGHTS? Call us. We're open 10 to 5 Wednesday thru Sunday. If Mon or Tiues or after 5 on the good days, leave a message. We will get back ASAP to take care of you. (520-777-8307)
*** BEST PRICES FOR AIR PLANTS! Recently a customer told us that the $5 Air Plant she bought from EcoGro was selling for $20 at another well known store and they did not look healthy like EcoGro's. Pretty typical! Ours are very healthy too.
ECOGRO ... the Art of Growing. (Cool, right?) Check out our new Street Sign. So pretty, cool and WEIRD. What do you think? ALSO, "SPANISH MOSS MAN" says "Check out the extremely weird fun plants!"
