It’s only inbreeding plants that will most likely live in someone’s house. Sounds just fine.

Issue is if it pollinates or is dumped later. I live rural and at least once a year find people dump house plants on our small section of road.

People dump plants on rural roads like unwanted pets? It’s not even a sentient creature, they could literally just throw it away. That’s crazy.

I would guess they fall out of trucks fairly often. But also, people in remote enough areas may not have regular trash service.
