Importing plants from Ecuador + Thailand / unboxing & acclimation process 

I love these longer videos!!! Keeps me company while I clean and I don’t have to worry about finding something new to watch every 10 minutes :)

That is amazing that leaf on that first plant you opened, the sp Columbia is the size of your entire torso. Absolutely stunning.

You and Charmaine are just amazing! Love following y’all and the good vibes your videos give ❤️

Charmaaaaaaaaaine 😂😂😂😂 my beginda would be getting numb. I love these ladies

Great to hear your advices about importing!!! Very useful. Thanks a lot and hugs from Belgium :)

Please don't be surprised. I am recently subscribed and I am not getting distracted by anything while I am watching them. 🌱❤🌱❤ Thank you 🌱

That second sp Colombia is ridiculous!!! Thanks for this video. It calmed my nerves about how I set up my first import 🤞🤞🤞

I really enjoyed the video, great information and you do not ramble too much. I really needed to know how this works, the el choco has been rocking my world for a while on my third one but the second one is still alive just had to start all over you and Charmaine give my hope please do an update on this order they are all gorgeous!!!! 💚

Thank you for the video! Yes, please update! :) 💚

Love Gilberto 💚💚 Gorgeous plants 😍😍

Daaaannnnggggg 👀 Nice haul, that massive Columbia had me drooling 🤤🤭 Love your videos girl, I’m glad you started up a channel 🤍🤗

Loved this video and would love to see an update. Also hope the hoya is doing well

Wow! You hit the jackpot on the big Columbia 💚💚 I always take off Ann of the secondary roots right away also. You made me laugh with the dangling Anthurium root comment because that’s exactly how I do it too 🤣🤣 As always another great video.

I love tree fern fiber for rooting chonks! It’s great on its own and as an additive. And the best part is that it is SO much easier to take the substrate off the roots once you’re ready to repot.

Thanks for sharing. Hope that hoya is doing okay! Just looked for it online, and it seems pretty rare.

I am glad I found your video :D I recently ordered from equagenera and I too went a little overboard. The plants weren't too expensive on their own but the whole order was kinda a lot of money for a first import ever lmao so I am quite anxious. At this point I am prepared to have no roots and/or a chunk in a few days after the import cause I heard a lot of different stuff 😅 Gonna buy some rooting hormone and get my castille soap ready 🌿 thanks for showing the clean up process and explaining everything you do, that was really helpful! Fingers crossed that they won't arrive that bad :D After 3 weeks since you uploaded the video, are your philodendron roots a little more established?

[Disclaimer: long a** comment?] Exactly the type of content I needed 💚 Google searches can't do justice and it's hard to find gardens that carry all those so thank you, thank you so much for helping us see the subtle differences. Budding collector here (pardon the pun?). Seriously considering importing as well so Ecuaflora (?) should thank y'all haha Also, random silly question: is your hair naturally that gorrrjjj? Care tips please and thank you 🙏 Note to self: comment on Charmaine's channel too (haven't finished watching her vid yet - just the unboxing bit. Was saving it for plant care weekends like always haha)

Beautiful plants. I would pot the Hoya a litte deeper, to have more surface to root from, right underneath the node.

Nice video

I like your videos

Love the video. The second SP Columbia looks more like a Philo. Rubrocinctum Platinum. It amazes me how Philos look a lot alike.

So much great info, thank you!! Just curious where you buy spinosad? I had thought it wasn't available in Canada

Very nice addition's to your plant collection. I must say very dissapointed to see your hoya & the condition it arrived in any chance of contacting the seller am sure that would qualify for replacement, I have only ever have had to do this once which is fantastic with the 100's I have in my collection. I wish you good luck with your hoya. Thank you for this jaw dropping content 😱 the aroids are simply stunning.

oh also hi me again please do an update video of these plants!! I'm praying for that hoya!

OUFF over an hour of rich undiluted and pure, top of the line Alice 😍😍 what a lovely day 🌷 I see your sp silver does the same floppy leaf thing mine is doing! I bagged mine to try and cure some of the flop but any idea as to why this happens to the leaves or how to fix it? as always love your videos and Huxley the potat!

I love Hoya’s. Sometimes i cannot get mature ones and only come in baby ones. Those come in a cocoa coir plugs until there roots are fully established but you can repot them straight into soil. And keep them in grow lights helps there developments and out of there baby phase into young adults. I was never a fan of Monstera, Anthurium any leafy plants. We all have our favourites mine is Hoya’s, Sansevieria, Euphorbia, Succulents and only my Alocasia Dragon Scale and Alocasia Sinuata. Since i have a hard time with Alocasia’s. Philodendron i only like my White Princess and Pink Princess also hard time with this species too. My only favourite Scindapus is the Moonlight Treubii and the dark form one. Removing the sheets in plants and cleaning the roots and cleaning the chunks is definitely satisfying and therapeutic.

Love this video!!! It's like you and Charmaine felt my anxious vibes in the universe haha - my first ever import order should be arriving within a week or so (A. papi and Syn. frosted heart) and I've been trying to absorb as much info as possible on acclimating. I've got two questions! :) you mentioned cleaning the imports before putting them in water and in the ikea bins - what do you use to clean them? Where were you able to pick up your systemic spinosad? (I'm also CAD, just ON).

Came for the plants but your hair is gorgeous. Yes update please. Tent tour?

💚💚💚

There’s a philo rubrocinctum platinum in one of your fav videos. Was it from equaflora too? The one I got from ecuagenera wasn’t nice looking which is a stump now. Planning to order from tropical plants this time.

I love flowers too we get moved I am too

do you use a curling iron? how do you get your hair so fluffy oh ya and nice plants

What’s the name of the business in Thailand you went through?

As far as I know pon has been impossible to get a hold of lately(?) I would try it if I could find it...

I loved the video, thanks for taking the time to make it. Can you please explain the reason behind cleaning the chonks? Thanks

Did the hoya survive ? 😬

What is the sulfur product you are using? I'm unfamiliar with this technique. Is the sulfur the rooting hormone or anti fungal?

Did you have to do anything after you ordered from the site to get it imported or did the company handle all the phytosanitary stuff?

Are you willing to tell us where you ordered them from? I would like the order the one that was bigger than my head please

oh the import life- I live vicariously through you! I have a q from a fellow Canadian - would you be open to sharing how you order Phyton 35? I see that it isn't fully Canada-approved. Any tips much appreciated :):) You da bestest. ALSO - if this is more of an IG dm, let me know that firstly and I shall recalibrate my ways.
