HOUSEPLANTS make an excellent addition to your decor, but if you're not careful, they can bring a ton of bugs to your home.
One popular plant, loved for its cheap price and big leaves, is more bug-ridden than you may realize.
A gardening expert named Tanner Mitchell shared why you should never buy a plant called a majesty palm.
In a video, Mitchell was at the gardening section in what appears to be Home Depot or Lowes.
He said: "This is your reminder to never buy majesty palms, especially not from here."
"They are spider mite magnets… and they don't do well indoors, not long-term."

In the comment section, Mitchell explained that the palm in the video didn't specifically have any mites, but it was covered in eggs.
If you insist on keeping majesty palms, Mitchell advised not to keep them indoors.
"They do fine outdoors! This video was in reference to having them indoors full time. Most homes don’t have what it takes," Mitchell wrote in the comments.
He also suggested snake plants, kentia, or parlor palms as good alternatives to majesty palms.
