Big box store with best houseplant selection?

Hi everyone, I’m a big plant nerd and I love browsing the plant section of every store I visit that has one.

Before anyone suggests Heeman’s, I’m there at least twice a month. I visit Van Luyk’s and Baseline nurseries regularly as well. I’m looking more for stores like Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe’s, that sort of thing.

Fellow plant people, which locations in London tend to have the best offerings? Thank you!

Edit: Sorry, I specified in the title but apparently not in the post; I’m looking for tropical houseplants in particular, not garden/outdoor plants.

Advice for accommodating a juvenile squirrel on my balcony?

Hi everyone, I was moving some seedlings out onto my (12th floor) balcony to start hardening them off for the summer when I heard a sound and found this sweet little creature taking refuge in one of my grow bags.

It is NOT caught in the netting; I watched it crawl about two feet and move to another pot when it realized I’d spotted it and it seems to be moving fine. That was my primary concern.

I’ve seen the mother come and go for a few weeks now and assumed she had a nest nearby. We had a balcony squirrel last year around this time too but I’ve never seen any babies until now.

Ideally I’d like to not have squirrels in my garden (I’ll be more diligent clearing piles of things going forward) but I definitely don’t want any harm to come to them either! I’m assuming mom and baby (babies?) will move on soon but are there any actions I should be taking (or not taking) with regard to this? I expect to lose some seeds and seedlings but that’s okay, I have plenty and we can share.

Thanks in advance!

The label says it’s wayetii but I’m not familiar enough to confirm or deny. Any input would be appreciated!
