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!

@NailsandPlants_Vivian Месяц назад

You will not be disappointed! I purchased one from her and it came super quick and packaged beautifully….my plant has been doing great! I will definitely order from her again and only from her! 🪴❤️

@plantsbymelissa Месяц назад

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!

@karalinart Месяц назад

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 :)

@plantsbymelissa Месяц назад

Thank you so much 🥹 I appreciate you for being here still 🫶

@CatherineLe129 Месяц назад

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'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!

@Plantyaj Месяц назад

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 got a plant from your shop last week and I’m so happy and honored to have a plant from your amazing collection!

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 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.

@roselynburciar7401 Месяц назад

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. ☺️🪴🐞

@JuanellHopper Месяц назад

I will definitely buy a plant from you one day. You take such great care of the plants and make sure they're healthy. I think you wouldn't sell something to someone that you wouldn't want yourself. 😊

@neynahnehnah1485 Месяц назад

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.❤

@plantsbymelissa Месяц назад

Thank you 🙏

@momsnegrita Месяц назад

Love your channel, one of the best you tubers I’ve seen so far. And how you take care of your plants is amazing. Can’t wait for you to drop more plants 🪴 to your shop I’ve been after an albo monstera cut for such a long time and who better than you to buy it from! Keep up the good work girl 👍🤗🪴👍🪴👋 pray 🙏🏼 your arm gets better really soon! ❤

@dora9368 Месяц назад

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 💕

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.

I took a look at your shop reviews and they are so kind and sweet! Amazing job, Melissa! I feel you on all of that packing...I haven't had that many orders at once, but I'm tired after like 15, LOL. I can't imagine having around 40!!!

@plantsbymelissa Месяц назад

everyone has been so sweet 🥹 it's a lot at once to package up! I love the process but it takes a lot of time to secure the plants well.

@RossyOrtega-tf2bk Месяц назад

@KellyNellas Месяц назад

I’m the same way. My nails just will not grow and I’m not going shellac or gel anymore. I’m hoping they will heal and grow on their own eventually. ❤

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!❤🇨🇦

@plantsbymelissa Месяц назад

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 😊
