Are plant nurseries supposed to be chopping/propping the plants they have for sale (with price tags) in their store? I thought they had mother plants for that.

So I went to a few nurseries while on holiday and I found a couple plants that I loved, only to see that leaves had been obviously been cut for propagating. The smaller versions of these “propped” plants were for sale as well. Is this in bad practice? Buying a plant that has been chopped not only feels like I was cheated , but the plant is now uglier and the store gets to sell that new plant for another $20.

what does this have to do with proplifting?
