    i am so glad youtube recommended your channel to me recently! 🥰 while theres a lot of plant content online, i find it hard to find high quality stuff and i binge watched a bunch of your videos without ever leaving a comment, which is a shame since i find so much comfort in what you share here.
    i enjoy your plant content as much as the videos where you take the time to talk about the challenges content creations brings (and also the ones where you roast fellow plant creators lol)
    your videos are wholesome and informative at the same time and i hope your channel will be send out to the right people who will enjoy it as much as i do!! 🥹🌻

    Here from the US! I LOVE watching your videos, the comedy is really what got me to keep scrolling through your content. Please keep up your amazing, sarcastic, sassy, and engaging content! Plant people here in the US are way too serious for my taste! I enjoy seeing the “realness” behind owning plants, whether they are good or bad experiences 😁

    Just found your channel & subscribed right away! Why YT hasn't suggested it earlier only God knows. I really love your channel since the planty content relates more to my own living conditions in the tropics. I live in Indonesia and we also have to deal with the dry season and the monsoon (rainy) season. I'm currently binge watching your videos 😂 Your content is very good, so don't ever be discouraged. Looking forward to more videos! ❤

    Thank you so much for the realness. I’m an american living in Central Europe and I’ve loved your content. I especially love seeing what local products you use (for example, local alternatives to perlite). Plus the plants you have. I only have two aglaonemas but you inspire me to get more! God bless you. Keep going, you’re doing great.

    Explore the landscaping venture and do a course. There are some many information out there. Get knowledge on the business side of things. Over the years, I have met people in Benin, Warri, and Lagos who solely sell plants , support, and train their entire family, built properties. Some have plants farms, aside from the ones they sell along the road. One of them who sells plants told me that the plants farm, which is somewhere else, ensures he never runs out of plants. Some travel to the across Nigeria to get new plants. You can learn from them. Package yours to attract certain clients.
    It's hard work , but you are on the right track. You have passion and green fingers.

    I watch because I enjoy seeing the different ways plants are grown and enjoyed around the world. I’d love to see more of your local culture if you wanted to do vlog-style filming around your area, planty or not. Maybe the people who hire you for landscaping would allow you to film what you do there as well. I think the content creators that do well are the ones who share a lot of their personality and their lives. Love from Canada. 🇨🇦

    I subscribed to your channel a few days ago with your plant tour. I was thinking how you can have so many plants outside without fearing that they’ll be stolen but I think you answered my question in this video. I find it very hard to understand your accent, as someone who also has a strong accent so I have to seat down and really focus on your video or watch it a couple of times but I really enjoy it. UA-cam suggested another video from you where you talk about fleeing due to abuse, I’m about to see that one. I love your plant collection and think you have such a fighting and hard working character and I admire that. I live in El Paso TX, right in the border with MX. I’ll be supporting your videos and wish you the very best. God bless you and Adios!

    • @TheMillennialPlantDad
      @TheMillennialPlantDad  8 місяців тому

      I’m aware of this, and I’m also part of the plant community here, it’s a growing community but sometimes it has felt especially at the beginning that no one cared about plants. Also it’s a UA-cam caption to draw attention to people to watch the video and have more context. So it’s not something that I meant literally

    Keep going, you are doing fantastically well and it is absolutely worth it! I’m also putting more energy towards UA-cam this year and it is definitely paying off. Let’s do this!!!
    I think you have the potential to have a channel similar to Sean from @onlyplants which will appeal to people from all over. You definitely could make a lot of money on UA-cam if people from US, UK and Japan watch. That will definitely raise your CPM.

    • @TheMillennialPlantDad
      @TheMillennialPlantDad  8 місяців тому +1

      I know right ! That’s why I’m determined to take it more seriously and be consistent and I also think you were made for UA-cam too . Cause I love how you can just easily converse with the camera and I find myself listening and watching till the end of your videos lol so definitely put up more videos. Let’s make this money 😊😊
