I no longer support Aroid Asia. A reel was posted on their instagram page without my permission (deleted now). I have no problem calling out companies that do this to me and take advantage of my content for advertising purposes. A unboxing video is all that they asked me to make in exchange for the plants. They never reimbursed the $25 fee that they said they would either. I just wanted to make you aware if you're considering importing from them 💚 I have the DM and emails as receipts 📄
Melissa I’m so happy my corms have started sprouting I only got three because I didn’t want to dig in the soil and it’s all because of you Thank You again 😊
Hoya undulata doesn't have the same care as most Hoyas. I would search care for it. Also, someone mentioned cutting the stems, and I would do that too.
I enjoy your videos! Try trimming the stems on your undulata shorter, even with the new roots they’ve already grown.The stem may be too long or might die off at the end (as you saw), not allowing water to uptake to the leaves. Maybe cut into one-.leaf cuttings, each with about 4” of stem. If you do not see sap emerge from the cut edge of the stem after you make the cut, it means that part of the stem is dead. Sometimes stems can look really woody but still have sap (not yours, of course!) Take care!
I did enjoy this vid. I have to look back and see if you have any vids on acclimating plants and reviving Anthuriums/Alocasias. If not, I’d love to see that 😊. You are knowledgeable
It can be risky and hard to trust or find someone/a company you can rely on. I personally wouldn't order from them because they never refunded me $25 I had to pay like they said they were going to. I wasn't made aware I had to pay anything since the video exchange was for the plants. Just sketchy.
Sweet Pea You have to be soooo careful with everything cause You never know who’s on the other side of the conversation or what their intentions are. Talking about a crazy world we live in. Not everyone is You !!!!!!!!!
I have finally caught up 😅 I started off watching one of your newer videos and something told me to go back so I started at video 1 and after I don't really know how long I finally caught up 😂😂 They look great I cannot wait to see how they progress ❤❤
You've watched all the videos I've done?!? Wow! 🥹 So much has changed since I first started on here. My older videos were kinda cringe worthy haha 🙈 I truly appreciate you watching them and for being here so thank you 🤗
😊 It has changed a fair bit, but you are still as amazing as in the start, I really enjoy your videos and am super excited about what the future may bring for you and your channel ❤
I love watching your videos, you are such a professional when it comes to fast forwarding when needed and then stopping to explain what you are doing! I inspire to be as patient and as careful as you one day❤️ my favorite influencer! You’re awesome Melissa!
Melissa.... Do you need a high humidity cabinet to have an Alocasia frydek, variegated? We don't have very much humidity in Colorado, 30-40 % in summer, without supplementary humidifier? I will supplement in winter with heating. I need to know as have access to one right now at a fair price, but don't want to waste the moey if won't fare well. Tia
Thank you! It can definitely be worth it to get some more rare plants or ones that you have a harder time finding. They'll need some time to adjust to your environment but I have had a great experience with mine. I might have another import order coming as well lol so I'll have another one to film :)
How long do you keep your rain water in the barrel? I'm sure you go through yours alot quicker than me, but I'm unsure of when to dump and start over. 🤷🏽♀️
And this is exactly why Canada doesn't allow plant imports without a permit and certificate. Seeing you get (and pay for) mealy bugs, scale and thrips - is just outrageous!!!
I had to get an import permit and a certificate! yeah it sucks they came with pests but it’s not the worst thing for me. They all were healthy looking plants and I can get rid of the pests 😔
@@plantsbymelissa Yeah, I just came back and finished the vid, you did an amazing job with all of them! I don't freak out about bugs any more, but thrips are just relentless!
Do you get nervous putting your plants outside and then bringing them in when it gets colder? You have such a huge, gorgeous collection don’t you worry about pests? I am curious because I have a descent size screened in porch that plants would do amazing in, but i’ve never because I worry about pests when i’d bring them in. Any suggestions? I’m so happy for you that your imports did this well! You do an amazing job with all your plants.
I bring mine out every spring. They love it. I monitor for pests, just like I would inside. I also use systemic granules, which I have found to be very effective.
The ones enclosed in my patio area not really that much but the ones outside of that I have a few out back and out front that I’ll definitely have to treat before bringing them back inside. I don’t like using pesticides but I haven’t decided exactly how to treat them. The ones last summer I just brought back in in the fall and they seemed ok 😂 but now I worry about spiders and ants and whatever else might be lurking 👀
because of all the root shedding that happens. Stratum is so expensive compared to perlite and I don't want to waste it on them because I tend to reuse it! :)
He has no idea when I get new plants lol. As long as they aren't in his way and aren't taking over the house or hanging out in the kitchen sink he does't care :)
