Stripping them off plants, yeah thats just damaging the plant itself and is shitty behaviour. Off the ground? Now its crossing from damage into being pedantic about stuff that would go into a mulcher. And I highly doubt that those with the patience and skill to propogate make up any significant margin whatsoever.

And you potted plant? Are you waiting to receive my succulent leaf?

I’m pretty sure the store the original post was from put that up to get people to propagate iirc

The “PLEASE” in front of “DO NOT DO IT” is telling me this probably isn’t actually illegal, let alone enforceable, and they just want to scare you.

Let me guess buying a plant, taking it home, taking a few clippings once it’s healthy and giving them away is also theft like torrents.

Plucking is wrong anywhere. Taking fallen off props at an independent nursery? Only of theyre cool with it. Big box store? Have at it

I’ll bet my next paycheck that this store also sells “root starter”.

If you didn’t want me to do it you shouldn’t have given it such a cool name.

Another idea is to build communities to propagate plants (regardless how they were acquired) and share them (nearly) free of charge.

Don’t tell anyone but I once took a seed of a palm tree of the ground in public park and planted it. It’s been growing in a pot for a couple of years now.

Just a reminder, lots of public libraries have seed exchanges! A little library of seeds free to be taken and encouraged to be dropped off!
