If you have the patience and skill, which you do, these plants are a perfect way to get a wishlist plant at an affordable price.

Thank you for sharing an update on your last haul and showing how you prepped these for potting in stratum! I love seeing how plants adapt to new environments and grow💚

I’ve purchased 4 plants from Green Escape: a Thai Con, a Joepii, a Florida Ghost, and a Tortum…all were very small but they’re all thriving nicely (the Thai Con is doing particularly well!)…I love this seller!

@fosterfoster9913 7 месяцев назад

Sometimes I feel like these plant some sellers send you their worst plants first. Kind of like a grocery store putting almost expired to the front. When I order a plant I want the best or there will be a problem.

@plantsbymelissa 7 месяцев назад

Right haha I feel the stock photos are a little misleading tbh. I’m happy with it and I know it will grow but still 😂

@dora9368 7 месяцев назад

I adore the two new plants 🌿💕🌵 and the other four are growing well and look amazing 😊

@karenmyers9146 7 месяцев назад

I love stratum for propagation, especially Hoyas. I’ll be trying it with my alocasia corm’s now to.

Ive ordered at least 6 plamts from TGE and they've all been great

@sbmiller 7 месяцев назад

I'm so jelly right now. I have the dark form watsoniana which i thought was the white vein when i bought it. I thought maybe once it matured it would get the white viens 🤦🏼‍♀️ but from watching your video i know now its not. I didn't even know there are different kinds. Now i have to wait until spring to get the white vein. 😢😂 Thanks for the videos. I would have never known that.

@DionneRoxanne 7 месяцев назад

I put all my starter plants from Green Escape in a Stratum-pumice mix right away upon arrival. It's worked for all of them so far. I'm waiting on a Frydek and Varigated Frydek from them as well as 2 scratch and dent Queen Anthuriums. I've never had an alocasia or anthurium before. Here hoping they make it. You inspired me to get the Frydeks😁 I'm going to put them in my Rudsta cabinet for high humidity. Next I want an alocasia with pink variegation.

@plantsbymelissa 7 месяцев назад

They really seem to love the stratum! aww happy you got some new plants! They'll both love the cabinet for sure! Good luck with them!!

@davidreid8835 7 месяцев назад

I have to say I don’t love TGE idk everything I’ve gotten the variegation was very low almost not there , but I’m holding out it’s better 😢

@puddsmax863 6 месяцев назад

I really enjoyed ordering from the green escape last time i ordered! The hoya I ordered died from my neglect but my little Gloriosum I got is still doing well! I plan to order a philodendron florida ghost from them in the next month or so. :)

@puddsmax863 6 месяцев назад

I also know to expect the plants to be tiny now! I didn't quite understand how little they were until I got my first order 😅

@carolstuff 7 месяцев назад

Nice plants! Don’t worry about the variegations yet, right now they’ve just sprouted leaves; I believe they’ll be spectacular once they’re more establish.

@plantsbymelissa 7 месяцев назад

I hope so!! 🤞

@richardr5878 7 месяцев назад

I like the Green Escape. I’m also glad I can live vicariously through you on some of these. I’m building my relationship with my Frydek and “white tiger” Monstera 😂 Please get that variegated Jacklyn. Waiting for the vid. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

@KellyNellas 7 месяцев назад

I love Alocasia. I have a Black Velvet on my wishlist. I feel like I should wait until spring to try and get one.

@plantsbymelissa 7 месяцев назад

I love the black velvet! It's definitely smart to wait until the weather warms. I check the weather before ordering and also order from a shop closer to me to avoid longer transit times.

@JuanellHopper 7 месяцев назад

The plants from green escape always have good roots. If they got lost in the mail it wouldn't be good but they are never rotten or sopping wet. That's pretty good for baby plants 😊 and yes I think we're all like that 😂. I love being on RU-vid hearing people who love plants as much as I do

@JuanellHopper 7 месяцев назад

By the way, if you haven't seen that white vein grown up before...wow. it is gorgeous and has leathery leaves

@plantsbymelissa 7 месяцев назад

haha glad there's more people out there like this. I haven't seen one in person just photos but I can't wait!! Happy holidays! 🎄

@carolinebaines8735 7 месяцев назад

They sent me a silver band with three plants, one of which had no roots. I’ve found the Green Escape is very hit or miss…

@kimberlyferreira8522 7 месяцев назад

i grow a lot of alocasia polly corms, and even with the regular polly the color is always very different when they’re babies, so i think you’ve got a good chance with your variegation

@ForeverCryssy 7 месяцев назад

I’m on like order 15 from them and only a small bit seems to survive 😭 I’m not giving up though. lol they have such a nice variety, am I’m determined to master alocasia indoors. Best wishes for your new plant babies. 🐝

@GenRN 7 месяцев назад

It looks like a Polly.

@VeryKinkyCurl 7 месяцев назад

I placed my starters from them in stratum as well and they all do well. I was alerted by someone on IG, that TGE had King of Spades Anthurium seedlings. I had to buy another package as well 😊. It is addictive 😂

@plantsbymelissa 7 месяцев назад

I saw those! 👀 I almost bought one but then remembered I bought a tissue culture from orange lake 😂 It is addictive haha 🫶🏻

@MyLocsMyPlants 7 месяцев назад

yay yours came! 💚 my monstera mint is bigger than I thought it would be I'm satisfied 😂. one of the bottom leaves looks damaged from transit but overall its ok. I'm thinking about just getting a majestic but I should've done the by 3 deal 😭 ugh

@plantsbymelissa 7 месяцев назад

I thought about ordering 2 more with mine this time but I didn't LOL. I'm happy your mint arrived okay!! I definitely recommend the majestic! Next time haha 🤗

@kimberleyfriesenhahn2515 7 месяцев назад

How do you decide which plants go into stratum vs. pon?

@ConnieP92 7 месяцев назад

Really beautiful plants Melissa. The White Vein one reminds me too of the Alocasia Amazonica so it'll be interesting to see how the leaves develop as they mature. And the Watsonia reminds me of the Azlanii haha. I'm really loving my alocasia now too. My alocasia collection is almost entirely in pon now and they are thriving. I was so excited to see that my alocasia macrorrhiza variegata is already pushing out a giant new leaf and I've only had her for 2 weeks in LECA 😱so she and my Regal Shield are the only 2 large alocasia that are still in LECA. Do you think I should move them into pon too or leave them in LECA since they're happy & pushing out new growth? Thanks for sharing your purchases with us...I LOVE watching plant mail unboxings cos it makes me feel happy, as though I'VE just purchased them 😆🥰

@francescadelunas 7 месяцев назад

When do you transition from fluval to something else? At what point of The growth of the plant do you feel it’s time to move to soil?

@paubel58 7 месяцев назад

omg that watsoniana white veins! its stunning. i love that you included the rinsing of the plug they came in! but do you have any recommendations for removing the more sponge-like ones? i have 2 plants from TGE that came in the spongey ones and i didn't remove much of the plug because i was worried about ripping all the roots off. thanks for sharing the haul and happy holidays!

@plantsbymelissa 7 месяцев назад

It's so pretty! The last shipment had a sponge on one of the hoyas and I just carefully tried to remove it off the roots. Some roots pulled off but sticking it in stratum/cabinet conditions definitely helped any stress and they grow in new roots pretty quickly. Happy holidays! 🎄

@tonyturner6948 7 месяцев назад

Have you tried a 50/50 Stratum/Pon mix for the best of both worlds? As Stratum is expensive.

@gaabbbbyy 7 месяцев назад

I ordered a micans and a neon pothos from the green escape and I was notttt happy with the micans. It looked like it had a bunch of pest damage. And just a tonnn of tiny leaves. I took it apart and just potted up the good stem or 2.

@plantsbymelissa 7 месяцев назад

oh no I'm sorry :( Mican's have extrafloral nectaries that look like dots on the leaves.

@gaabbbbyy 7 месяцев назад

@@plantsbymelissaomg that’s probably what it was. I just removed all the leaves that were really damaged. The new growth doesn’t have them so hopefully I can keep them nice 😊 thank you for replying!

@annafink2245 7 месяцев назад

I order a lot from them but all the plants I've bought in December have pretty much kicked the bucket. Even leaving them and not repotting, they just are flopped over, weak stem - good thing I had the winter insurance, but even the heat packs don't do much. I just cut it down and I'll see if anything comes back in spring.

@plantsbymelissa 7 месяцев назад

aw I'm sorry about that 🥺

@allisontuttle8216 7 месяцев назад

Yours came in nice and healthy! When I got mine the paper was wet on the leaves and they all rotted off 😅 they refunded me but it was my second time trying to order a Jacklyn (from different companies) so I think I’m just not supposed to have a Jacklyn 😂

@plantsbymelissa 7 месяцев назад

oh noo! I'm so sorry! 😢 I got my Jacklyn from land of Alice studio on Etsy but I don't see any more in stock right now. Some people are finding big ones from costa farms at the big box stores too! Don't give up! haha Whenever mine produces more corms I'm going to grow them out and sell them too 😁

@KC-gj4bi 7 месяцев назад

I wish you luck transferring to Pon on your Hoya. I had Lacunosa snow cap that grew wonderfully in stratum and rotted in 2 days in Pon 😢 same with my aff. burtonia. I transferred 6 altogether but those 2 didn’t make it.

@plantsbymelissa 7 месяцев назад

oh no I'm so sorry! 😢 I haven't tried any hoya in pon yet so I am eager to see how they do. Hoping they don't rot 🥺

@zainssyed 7 месяцев назад

Do you use stratum to root other starter plants like philodendron or just for alocasia?

@plantsbymelissa 7 месяцев назад

I use it to propagate just about anything!

@rlenabarno 7 месяцев назад

Can you root the plugs in pon? I ordered from TGE again was thinking of reppoting them straight in pon.

@plantsbymelissa 7 месяцев назад

If they are in soil I wouldn't go straight to pon. The little roots they have can rot off from the shock of moving to a different substrate. Some might do okay but you probably have a 50/50 shot. I am doing stratum or either water first for a week or 2 so some water roots can grow in.

@darksidevenom6 7 месяцев назад

what soil is in those cups with the HOYA's
