I have been watching you from the get go, which was awhile back. You take such good care of your plants. I will definitely be taking a look at your shop and ordering. There isn’t a person I wanna order more from than you. I know I will be getting good quality plants from you. Also I’m so so happy for you! Now you have a plant shop from your own home. That is awesome!

thank you both 🥹🫶 I appreciate your support so much ❤️

The ugly sticker thing is hilarious. You should just tell people that you are sorry if they get an ugly sticker, but you need to use them up! 😂😂😂. I love this day to day life update on the shop. It’s so interesting! I know it’s a lot of work and time and everyone who watches you really appreciates it! 🥰. I hope your arm feels better soon!

Hi Melissa! Thank you for sharing your entire journey. I’m loving the updates on everything… your plant collection, the shop, life events, etc. You’re so genuine & kind. I love how much passion, thought & care you put into nursing your plants. I really appreciate your hard work in creating entertaining & educational content. In the future, when I’m ready to care for rare/uncommon houseplants, I’d love to support your business. I’m still a novice plant mom. I began collecting a year ago. Please continue sharing & don’t lose vulnerability. You’re connecting to many of us viewers because of your personality & how raw/honest you are. It’s really refreshing how mature & eloquently you speak. I’m such a fan! Best wishes, Catherine

I've been watching your content for something like 2 years now and its so cool to see how much you've grown as a creator and now a plant shop owner! wow! The hard work, dedication and love for what you do really shines though in your videos and its really inspiring :)

I'm a new plant owner, a pothos! I only have the one, and only want the one so I can take care of it as best as I can. Your videos have been immensely helpful!

Because of how much I love watching you do plant chores and stuff I got into planted an now I want to do a plant online store in the future! ❤

I watched you package my babies for shipping 😂 I love them! I will have my eye out in the future months for Monstera Albo in your shop. I don’t have any Monstera but watching your videos has inspired me.

Did you pay any insurance for that? I ordered 2 plants with $75, and they asked me to pay $100 as insurance and claim that they're going to refund me ince I get the plants. I sent the money, but they want me to send it on Paypal as a family where I can't get it back if things didn't delivered even I sent the $75 as a family to Melissa and didn't get my plants yet.

I would love one of your precious plant babies but too bad you don’t ship to Canada🇨🇦🌺 Glad your enjoying your plant shop and you can share your joy in this way with those who appreciate your plants the way you do.

Hi Melissa. Thanks for the video! 📸😊 I'm thrilled seeing you do what you love and are good at - plants 🌵 You are one busy plant mom 🌱 One day I will get a chance to purchase a plant from you. I appreciate that you are concerned about shipping prices for your customers. You're so good at what you do, keep up the good work❤ I went on your website today just to check it out again. I signed up for the newsletter...looking forward to getting my first newsletter from you. Hi all three gorgeous kitties; you are all so precious 💕

I just love your channel, your plants always look amazing 😊 I wish you all the best with your shop. As a dog lover I was admiring the picture on the wall what looks like a St Bernard, it’s so sweet 🥰

Hi Melissa! So happy for you that your shop is thriving. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to purchase a plant yet, but I’m hopeful that will change soon. I love all the care & thought you put into your plants & shop. ☺️🪴🐞

You do such a great job packing up the plants. So much work but I’m sure your buyers really appreciate it 💚

Hi Melissa, I enjoy watching you go through your daily routines. I especially enjoyed how you showed how you pack the orders!!

Wow you pack a lot of stickers in there

Laminate your nails instead of wearing pressons. Or overlay them with acrylic or gel. That is an investment for your nail health. Also, wear gloves(I think you do most of the times.) I am a nail tech and I do plants too. Laminate keeps your nail stronger when they are short, it is basically sof gel that prevents your nails from breaking. Wish you and your cute kitties the best honey.❤

Love your planty videos. And of course your collection of plants. It's ultimate goals. Not sure if you have done a video of this but I would love to know your steps in prepping you water for watering since I know you use a few different products.

You are putting alot of time and care into packing. I'm sure that will come back with return customers. Well done chick 😊

I read the comments on your website and they brought tears to my eyes. I'm so proud of you and happy for you 🎉💓

Hi Melissa, awesome video! ❤ You put so much care into all your plants and the selling part of it. I wish I lived in the States so I can buy from you. I ve learned so much from you. The stickers are perfect. I wanted to ask you- I have an alocasia frydek in spaghnum moss right now and it grew 4 leaves so far..would you put it in stratum for a couple weeks before putting into pon? Or is there a time frame for keeping it in stratum first? Thank you so much. You are truly amazing!❤🇨🇦

Do you plant the aerial roots in soil? I’ve seen it done.

I can’t wait for your next drop. I want an Albo my Mother’s Day gift to myself😊i hope to steel one from your next drop and make it happen. I been late 3x sucks😢not to get plants from you. More power Melissa💖

Hi Melissa, do you find that you need to let the mix air out first before you package the potting mix into individual bags?

hi there! I plan to do a drop once a week on Fridays but I may have to skip some weeks. I injured my arm a few days ago so not sure when the next drop will be now. I don't announce it anywhere besides the website now and in the weekly newsletter.

I so want to order a variegated Frydek from you but I never seem to catch your drop. I catch you waiting to hit the button to go live but by then the sale is over I think because the video is coming out like 12 hours later help 🤷‍♀️ so wish you would consider preordering 😊

I just dropped my email at your store to get a news letter so. I can get my pink princess 👸 lol ❤️

I have watch you for a very long time. I remember your fear to do this. WOW You have come a long way. BTW I garden and I have trouble having nails now to. I am a Regional Manager for Staffing and use to always have pretty nails.Not anymore.lol Plants destroy that. And it is ok.

Two weeks ago in your video the second you mentioned pon I went straight to Amazon and they had some so I ordered 3 bags. I just hope my alocasia don’t die before it gets here. Can I take them straight from aroid mix to pon or should I put them in water first?

I'm doing weekly drops on Fridays unless I need to skip weeks - the next date is pushed back now.

Can I ask about how much money you make? I am a single mom of twins and I want to be able to homeschool them. BUT I HAVE to have an income! This would be such a wonderful income for me to do from home while homeschooling them! Just curious if you make enough. And I dont mean to be nosy! I am sorry!

I've tried every drop to snag something and everytime I'm too slow at checkout. One day! 🪴
