I hope you continue to show your kitties to us. My husband and I are in our 80’s and cannot have them where we live now. We both miss them so much. You are so kind to occasionally give us a glimpse of the love they give you. I’m a plant lover too. Donna
Most definitely! I love having them show up on camera. Sometimes I cut them out depending on the video but I love that they come to see me film all the time and want to help out haha.
Melissa, There are a ton of us just really learning about moss poles. Thank you for taking the time to start at the begaining and giving details even the little details on the flaps. Learning the watering process so they do not dry out has been a challenge for me. They are so hard to rehydrate. I usually garden outside so this has been a new thing for me growing my house plants. If you seen my jews outside you would faint. It is in a 15 gallon pot. Not no root rot. It is huge. I bring inside in the winter and out she goes in the spring. IT is out of control. I have to cut back several times. No browning in the summer or anything. I think I have to repot next year. That will be a job for sure.
They are gorgeous plants and that is amazing to have it be that huge!! Great job on growing it ☺️ If you're on instagram you can always send me a photo! I love looking at them :) I appreciate it! Sometimes I worry if I am too repetitive and I try and share what I can to help! I used to pick up on little things when I watched a lot of videos in my early days and it helped me so much!! 🥰
Aww Chai is like, “No talkies, only loves.” My kitties get jealous when I do plant care, too. 🥰
haha I've been spending more time at the computer and Luna has noticed so she comes over often to just sit on my keyboard 😂
You’re the sweetest kindest UA-camr I watch. I’m grateful to you for posting great videos for us to watch. I feel like I’m watching a friend 😊. I can’t wait to purchase one of your plants. ❤ keep it up girl
You're so sweet! Thank you!! 💗
You have me here crying!! 😂 I'm a sap!!😂 It's a wonderful feeling to have your dream become a reality. Believe in yourself. You're doing it!! We all get that voice that lies to us, worrying us. It's normal. Just know that you are awesome and can do it all! And as long as you're here, I'll be here!! Much love to you Melissa!!! 🙂🥰🪴🪴🪴
Thank you so much Evelyn 😭 I got so emotional haha. Thank you so much for your support!
You’ve come a long way to where you are today. Your journey from day one has helped us in so many ways in many different levels. Sharing your experiences, and sharing your knowledge has been a blessing. Nothing wrong feeling emotional about what you’re passionate about. It’s a beautiful thing. I cannot wait to shop your website when it launches. Go Melissa, GO!
I appreciate that more than you know 😭 thank you so much for supporting!!
According to your channel information you've only been doing UA-cam for a little over two years? My oh my you have a lot of subscribers for only being a UA-camr for a short period of time.
You're doing a great job 👍 I'm happy you'll continue to do UA-cam, and live your dream by having a plant shop. You're a beautiful person inside and out and I'm excited for what happens next for you 😁
I'm sure many people will buy plants from you, including myself. ❤ Your channel by far is not boring and yes, plants are still a thing. A lot of people love 💕 and have plants 🌵🌱🌿
Thank you! Yes, coming up on 2 years! It seems so crazy to think that. I appreciate it so much!!
I only got into plants very very recently and fell in love with your channel. It's got everything I like: plants, cats, and chill vibes. Those fur babies are just as precious as your amazing array of mature plants. Ugh, so stunning. I can't wait for my humble collection to be at least a quarter as pretty as yours. The purrs are a big plus, btw! Your vids are nice background while studying.
Thank you!! That's so nice to say! 🥹 I still remember getting into plants like it was yesterday and you learn SO much. It's amazing to see what your plants can grow into but I so very much appreciate how they are started and the journey they have been on. I am also so thankful to others out there sharing their knowledge because you take that and grow from it 🥰
I am totally buying a plant from your shop.....the plant purchase becomes more special when you know who grew it....we love your collection and your channel....you are your own brand....and the kitties too....we love all 4 of you!...it makes so much sense since your collection is so big and your knowledge is plentiful....so so happy for you and its going to be great...just wait and see....long hugs...........................♡tina
Thank you!! I am so excited to see where it leads. I hope I end up enjoying it as much as I think I will and that people are just happy with what they receive :) I appreciate your support!!
Girl you got me tearing up😊. We love your channel because of your genuine nature! I’m a lifer. And btw I’m so happy you mentioned your poles don’t have to be 6’ poles. I was at a cross roads and that comments helped me!
haha not sure why I got so emotional filming that day 🥹 thank you for being here, I truly appreciate it! Yes, the more poles I get I realize I don't need giant poles of every plant. I appreciate them more sometimes when they are small ☺️
Can we say something about the 35k???!!!! We have to congratulate you on this 🎉❤ I remember seeing some of your very first Lowes Shopping! Love your content and I get so excited still for your videos! CONGRATULATIONS! You deserve it ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!! 😭 I wouldn't be able to do these videos without the support and I am truly so grateful to be here 🥺
Oh 😮 I didn’t even know you were going to talk about the 35k! And, I think anyone that follows you knows we will get super healthy plants! Made with
L❤VE
I will never get tired of moss pole videos ❤
Congratulations on 35K too 🎉
Thank you so much! 🥹🫶
Congrats on 35K👏👏👏 I never get tired of your videos and your plants are just so beautiful. Can’t wait for your shop to be open.
Your cats are so funny, like he wants you to be quiet, so cute!
Thank you so much!! 🥰
I love that you show your kitties, mine also try to “help” me when I’m doing planty chores
thank you!! They gotta help some haha :)
You’re a natural Melissa and I love watching you take care of your plants, as I imagine many others do too. You are so inspiring for us newbie plant parents. Thank you. Please keep doing what you’re doing. 🙏
Thank you so much! 🥺
Your plant shop is going to be amazing, because you care so much. Can’t wait 😀
Thank you!! 🥰
Really, even if your info is repeated, ITS OKAY! Not everyone has time to go back and watch old videos. I’ve noticed that things change and the way you do things over time changes, so when I’m wanting to learn stuff to learn and do it, I want the new stuff 😀. With plants, you can’t go wrong. We just love watching you do stuff with your cool plants! I love the chatty stuff about life too. Most of us don’t live a UA-cam life so it’s interesting hearing the behind the scenes stuff!
💚Moss Poles! 💚
Here are my thoughts as a viewer and a fan. Earlier this year I became a new plant owner that immersed myself in plant research, content, care, and experiments. I'm now shifting my attention to other interests, and the plant hobby is in more of a maintenance mode. I've got a couple projects in the works, but I'm putting much less time toward plants and related things. I feel like I've got recent experience as both a new and old viewer of your channel if that makes any sense. This ended up being a bit of a long-winded brain dump. I hope you like reading!
35k subs is definitely awesome! I'm seeing around 1k viewers in the first 4 hours of posting. I'd imagine almost all of these are from subscribers. There are ONE THOUSAND people that stop what they're doing to see what you've put together pretty much as soon as you put it out. They're getting more from what you've created than whatever else is going on in their lives. That's kind of fun to stop and think about. I thought your channel had been around longer, but it looks like your 2 year anniversary is in a couple weeks. That seems like solid progress!
I'm no UA-cam or business expert, but I've got some thoughts on what's been working well and what you might focus on. Here's what I like about your channel: You speak clearly, and your videos look polished. Audio and video seem pretty good. Sometimes the focus gets a little funky, but that seems pretty common with smaller channels that are a little more hands on. I like that you're detail oriented, and you seem pretty meticulous with observations and your plant care. You've demonstrated that you can solve problems and overcome situations you haven't experienced before. That combined with the variety and size of your plant collection makes you seem competent, and I feel like I can trust advise or strategies that you present. Your calm demeanor is something people constantly point out. You come across as kind and caring. Your personality combined with all your effort make for videos that are enjoyable to watch.
I think regardless of the brand, there needs to be something that differentiates your channel if the intent is to grow. I think your personality stands out, so there's an easy one. Your collection and knowledge of plants is quite impressive, and I think that gives you leg up on newer channels. It's not easy to acquire a collection like yours. It takes a lot of time and effort to get to that point. It seems even now you continue to grow your collection. Having a library of uploaded content also gives you an advantage. If you start selling plants (and merch?!), that's another way to expand and offer something smaller channels don't have available. I don't think many plant channels can claim they are the best or one of the best at something. I think you can. When it comes to the plant hobby, the thing that excites me most is moss poles. Right now I have 2 channels that I consider to be a definitive source for moss pole information, insights, and ideas. This is one of them.
Like I mentioned above, I'm no longer constantly immersing myself in plant content. The hype of the new hobby is settling down, and now I'm shifting more toward picking up little things here and there and just maintaining my little collection of plants. My attention is shifting to other interests, and I've noticed this has an effect on how I view content. I tend not to watch longer videos (>20 mins?) as often, or I'll skip around more. I also tend to be more selective with which channels I watch. When I do have some down time where I'm just relaxing, that's when I'm most likely to watch long-form videos. Having chapters helps a bunch.
Dropping from 3 to 2 videos should be fine I'd think. You've already established a solid base for your channel for new viewers to peruse. I think consistent postings is the key thing to focus on.
On the topic of videos getting repetitive, I could see that being something to keep an eye on. Some viewers just like kicking back and relaxing with longer videos. Others will be more selective. Having chore videos seem pretty common with plant channels. I'm broadly speaking here, so this isn't specific to your channel. I do get a little lost when I see lots of "plant chores" videos. I lose track of what each video contained, and it can have a tendency to blur together. If something useful was mentioned in one of these videos, it can often get lost, and I'm unable to track it down again. I think what helps is having a way to more easily tell the chore videos apart from each other. Maybe there could be a theme. Maybe if there's a special topic or challenge that was discussed, that's included in the title. Chapters help here as well.
I think having a mix of formats could be beneficial. Shorter format tutorial videos (10-20 mins?) might be better for new plant owners and new viewers. They can get a lot of densely packed information while getting exposure to your channel. Doing a couple "shock and awe" videos might be another way to get new viewers. You've got a lot of impressive plants, but sometimes the impact of their inclusion in a video can be lessened when mixed with other content. I wonder if having dedicated videos for each species and genus in your care could be worthwhile. I've come across some tiny channels because no other channel called out a plant by name in the title. Others definitely have the plant in a video somewhere, but I can't find them. I think putting more attention on the presentation of videos targeted at new viewers would be beneficial. I'd imagine these videos would draw the most view counts on a channel. Comparing products or approaches is another thing I think new plant owners would appreciate.
For longer term viewers/subscribers, seeing progress is enjoyable. I don't always have time to watch the longer videos, but I tend to zero in on moss poles. Your collection can only grow so large, and at some point there just won't be any more space. Periodic updates is an obvious option when dealing with plants. You could potentially revisit tutorial videos every 2-3 years and update them with new approaches/products. If nothing changed, maybe your video editing skills have improved, and you can put out a new, more polished version of the same video. Maybe coming up with ideas for different series is something to try out. Have a series where you experiment with things you've always wondered about but never looked into. Maybe there's a way to do some sort of interactive thing with viewers. If live interactions are too stressful, maybe users can submit photos and descriptions of their plants that fit a certain topic or theme. Then you can review the user submitted content in a video. Maybe some of this can be seasonal, to go along with holidays or something that's coming up. Maybe you can try a series on decorating in different ways.
I think variety keeps things interesting, but also focus on what's been working. I think as long as you're enjoying what you're doing, you can try new things out at your own pace. As a viewer, I wouldn't want you to get burned out feeling like you have to go in too many directions. If you do sell plants, I'll have to buy something just to be able to say, "This was grown by Melissa!" I'm definitely a fan! I look forward to it, and I wish you the best of luck!

Wow 😯 ! Melissa has very special viewers to write such a accumulative list of wonderful ideas 💡
I enjoyed your comment very much ❤
I appreciate you for taking the time to share! I read through multiple times! Your insights are so helpful and so well put together. Sometimes I feel I mix a lot of content in together and I can see what you mean with how you described it. I even have trouble finding certain videos where I have talked about something. I do want to try and mix it up and have some shorter videos and create some dedicated plant videos because I don't feel like I have done those and I can see the value in what those videos would bring.
I would love to continue to grow and better my channel but I am truly thankful for the audience I do have that continues to watch anything I put out. I try to engage with every comment I get for the first 30 minutes or so with every video I make live and those first viewers are so special to me that they are willing to tune in and watch right away. I feel so grateful 🥺
The YT algorithm can be hard to figure out haha. Shorts is really popular now and I'm not sure how many of those followers actually tune into my longer videos so I think having some shorter ones will help! Thank you so much for your kind words, thoughts and ideas. I've never had a comment like this before so it was really special and I truly appreciate that!
@@KC-gj4biI'm glad you enjoyed! I questioned if a comment was the best way to share some ideas in a longer form. Then I thought someone might get something from it, or maybe it could start a discussion so I went ahead and posted it here.
@@plantsbymelissa Awesome, I'm happy you were able to get something from it! You've definitely been a positive in my life, and I saw a chance to give something back. One thing I value highly is information, and sometimes that can be such a hard thing to track down. I think the world is a better place when people share ideas and things they've learned.
Shorts are still something I'm trying to figure out. I think they can be fun, but they seem to get old after you've seen enough of them. I'd imagine they do much better with younger audiences. So while I may rarely get something from them, it's definitely good to consider as another avenue for reaching out.
You deserve the success you are getting! your channel is so genuine and just brings me so much joy to watch
Thank you so much!! 🥹
I always watch your videos from start to finish. I love plants, but I watch it for your kind aura and great company during the day when I'm working. It doesn't matter what video you make, which new plants you buy. It's just enjoyable to watch you as a person.
So glad to hear about your plant shop, and that you're excited about it 😀 I could take a page out of your book and do more of the things I want to do sooner 😊
Thank you so much for hanging out with me and for saying that :) Sometimes I procrastinate or talk myself out of something but wished I did things sooner. I think I read something one time that said to stop waiting for the perfect time because that doesn't exist. You just have to start! ☺️
Melissa, I’m glad you’ve decided to have a plant shop! Be confident as you’re great plant tuber. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! 🙏
I love all your moss poles and have got about 5 so far and I can’t believe the leaves are actually sizing up!
I wanted to say that I had exactly the same vision as you have about starting a shop. I have opened an Etsy UK shop. I mainly sell rooted Hoya cuttings. Like you said I cared and wanted to make sure my customers get the best product they can and I give the best customer service and get some most amazing reviews it does make me so emotional to read them. I only have 13 listings of different plants. I manage to take cuttings from my own plants, root them generally in pon and sell them on as well rooted cuttings.
Not everyone is confident with fresh unrooted cuttings, so I think I have found a little niche in the uk market for fairly new Hoya growers who need a bit of help and advice. Like you said I have started very small. I’ve four orders to post on Monday, the most I’ve sold over a weekend and one of them is a multi order. I think it’s the photos that sell the plants and you already have all those skills. I don’t but I am learning. Now I need to be brave and make videos like you do, that is just so scary for me.
Thanks so much for sharing everything ❤ X
Thank you and congratulations on your moss pole growth as well as your shop! That sounds exactly like what I want to do and just have a little something I can be proud of and have happy customers! You're going to do so well! Making videos can be scary but trust me, it gets better! You just have to start. I'm such a quiet and introverted person so I talked myself out of it for years (I wanted to start a beauty channel back in the day). I am so happy I decided to go for it and just share my love for plants! ☺️
I can't wait to see a chop and extend with a Thiccly pole!!
Aaawwww, you're so sweet, Melissa. You almost brought me to tears. We have truly enjoyed you and your content, the kitties and seeing the hubby every once in a while. LOL! I certainly appreciate all the work you put into making the vids and sharing your experiences w/us. I wish you n yours many blessings, my dear.🙏😇
Thank you, Melissa!! I couldn't believe my little channel has turned into what it has and I am so grateful for that and for everyone who has been here and watched so thank you!!
@@plantsbymelissa You're very welcome, darlin! Have a blessed day!🙏😇
I didn't know I could love Chai anymore than I already did but him being a suckler does it for me 😂I think it is a bit true they do it because they were taken too soon, but also it just means they love you and think of you as their mom. It's just a comfort thing more than anything. All your kitties are so sweet but Chai has my heart lol. Love all your moss poles!! I could never have that determination you have with them so big props to you
Thank you so very much!! He is such a sweet kitty!! I feel so lucky to have these 3 cats 🥹
I definitely agree about the global green. I don’t care for the way it looks climbing. All of mine are like lush bushes growing in their pots and I love the way they look just bushing out, doing their thing! One of my favs!
You might have convinced me to take it off :) I can't figure out why I don't like it climbing so maybe it's one I should just keep as a trailing pot!
Yesss 🙌🏼 Chop n prop the climbing vines and plant them all back together and the new growth will come in so vibrant and lush 😍
I’m so exited about the golden pothos!!! Those look crazy good once they start sizing up! My sister went to Tulum a few years back and she would send me pictures of them, they would just have them out there, I was in awe at the size and the fenestrations!😮❤
YES! I saw one in Florida recently and I swear the leaves were 3 feet long and it looked like a monstera leaf with the fenestrations. I fell in LOVE haha
Yay🎉👍 you reached 35k....good for you 😊 💥 can't wait to watch you grow even more throughout the upcoming year's.... showing love and support from Seattle 🤟
Thank you so much for your support!! 🥰
Hey there, just wanted to say, that I am not watching your vids for the plant stuff primarily but because your person :)
I love how calm you’re talking and thoughtfully you’re movements are. It always calms me down after a long day of working :)
So the topic of the video doesn’t matter for me as long as it’s not too much in time lapse 😅
I wanted to say, you really should not put to much pressure on yourself for choosing the right theme or topic for your next vid, cause I think so much people are here for the same as me :)
Love your content and the work you put into it!
Thank you! 🥺 Sometimes I feel it won't be a good video or no one will watch it so thank you for that. I already caught myself earlier questioning a video so I will definitely try not to be so hard on myself 🫶
I'm excited for you and your plant 🌵🌱🌿🍃 shop to come soon😊
Thank you!! 💗🪴
Can’t wait to buy my first 🌱 baby from you! Love it! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!!
You're one of my favorite plant fam.. thanks you for always showing up and helping, walking us through any confusion and concerns about our plant babies!❤❤❤
Once your shop is up and running(can’t wait to purchase from) I would love to see packaging orders videos from time to time🙂I find packaging videos so satisfying 😆
Thank you! 🫶 Yes!! I've been watching some recently :) I would love to do some behind the scenes and packing videos!
Ahh, thank YOU for sharing your life & plant journey! Such a joy to watch you, kitties & sometimes hubby! Xxxx
Thank you for being here!! 💗
WE are grateful for YOU! Thank you for the great content and congratulations on your plant shop! You're doing an awesome job.
I appreciate that so much!! 🥹
Hi Melissa, I’m a recent subscriber to your channel and I love your content. It’s so interesting to see all your moss poles and the potential your plants have to get huge. I also find your voice very soothing to listen to, I’m a cat mom too and love to see your cats. I’ve been a houseplant enthusiast for over 30 years and my 2 oldest plants are 35 and 36 years old
Hi there! Thank you for being here and that is so kind to say 🥺 oh wow!! that's absolutely amazing! What type of plants are they?
The 36 year old is a ficus elastica tinneke. The 35 year old is a scheffler, it's struggled with scale and been severely cut back twice. It along with the ficus spend all summer out in my garden
A- chicken scratch? no way! you have beautiful writing!
B- 40! nuts!
C- I got emotional with you! Never feel like you need to apologize or tone it in! Let is out! It's great emotions! Seeing how excited you are about your dream plant shop is just JOYFUL! I absolutely cannot wait to see it. The care you already have for what you want your product to be like, is right off the start going to set you apart! Keep that

Hugs Melissa 🤗. You are the most soft spoken plant UA-camr I've seen. Love your content by the way. I just started following you (July 2024) Hugs from Malaysia 🌿💚🌱
I love personal touch your wanting for your shop. Your love would be in each plant you sell. 😊
Thank you! 🫶
Melissa, Your videos are always creative and informative. I love your cats, too! Please be encouraged and continue! Take care!😊
I’m so proud of you Melissa! I’m so happy I came across your page a year and a half ago! I can’t wait for your plant shop and all your future planty endeavors! 😊🫶
Thank you so much Deanna! 🥹 I appreciate you for being here and for always supporting my page it means so much to me!
First, I just wanna comment and say this because I watch your videos all the time and have been subscribed to your channel for awhile and I don’t think I’ve ever commented…but you are hands down my favorite and the most helpful “plant channel” I watch. I love your energy and I can just sense how genuine you are through your videos. Not to mention I’ve learned sooo much from you! I never would have felt comfortable creating my first moss pole without watching you first. I know how how stressful it can be creating content and feeling that pressure and being stuck in a rut…I have a “dog based” instagram with a pretty large following and I’ve felt all those things before. Anyway, just want to let you know there are probably more people out here than you even realize who you’ve helped with your videos and I’m sure you will sell out of your plants immediately the first few rounds! Lol.
Thank you so much 🥹 that's so kind to say. Thank you for watching and supporting my channel and for understanding! I'm so excited to see what comes of this but am just thankful to be able to be here and do this right now 🥰
Melissa, thank you for teaching all the things to newly indoor plant obsessed people! I will definitely shop plants in your store. 🎉
Congrats on 35..oh! now 36k. ❤! I'm so excited for you. I remember when I first found your channel and the video was actually a little sad because you said you weren't really sure if you were going to go forward with the channel because you didn't feel like it was gaining the traction that you needed it to. I was devastated because I had just found you and I have loved everything you've done. Your videos have helped so many of us, and your calm demeanor and sweet personality really comes through. I'm so excited for the plant shop... and it's fun to see you so excited about it. If you put half as much work into that as have into to this channel, you will be great!! We will be fine with a couple less videos per week, so you can actually work your dream❤. Proud of you for sticking with it. I think we can all learn a little something from you.
Your Sodiroi is absolute goals 😍
Your moss pole videos have definitely inspired me so so much. I'm going to put a marble queen on a pole soon. I'm so excited to start this new journey.
Yay!! You'll seriously love having a marble queen climb!! I never thought I would love this plant as much as I do 🥺
@@plantsbymelissa from the moment I seen yours on a pole I have wanted to do it. I know I will love it so much. 😊 I have a vine that's about 1.5 feet long, so that's a pretty good start.
You are an amazing young woman and I hope you get your dream of a plant shop soon. 💚💚

Loved this video. It gives me the courage to try moss poles. Great idea selling plants. I was doing plant chores right there with you.
Thank you so much for having me along with you! Moss poles are worth a shot :) They require patience number one but I am so happy I did them! They bring so much joy!

Thank you so much!!
Love your video Very nice plants ❤
Thanks so much 😊
I love your cats so much ❤️😸🖤🐈
Are your cats names Luna, Chai, and Star if I remember correctly
Yes!!! 🥰
I remember your first video and it was great. It also shows how much you have grown as a person and UA-camr. It shows that you are flexible. That is a strength, my friend. When we are rigid we cannot grow.

oh wow, first video?! 🥺 thank you for being here and continuing to watch! I am truly grateful 🫶
I started my neon and snow Queen at the same time also! I was surprised to see how much faster the snow Queen sized up compared to the neon.
Hi Melissa
Thank you for sharing your hobby. It is such a healthy hobby to have and we learn so much.
You have a wonderful calm and pleasant personality it is almost zen. 😊 You are a sensitive in a good way and I wish you good luck with your plant shop adventure.
I wish I cold become your customer, unfortunately I live on the other side of the planet, in Denmark, Europe.
I'm happy with your choice to open a shop in the future BUT I can tell you i love you're videos and they are one of the first i click when I see them in my subscription box. I dont know if its a plant community thing but I find all the planttubers that I watch so calming.
Thank you soo much 🥺
Not only do I watch your shows I hate when you take a break , even though I know you deserve a break
what a beautiful silver sword. My silver sword is still a baby, but it is growing new leaves. Everyone is correct, your kind nature comes through in your videos. It makes your videos enjoyable. I dont know what I am going to do with my plants when they start getting big, but I am enjoying watching them start to grow. Plants are just so beautiful.
Thank you so much! 🥹
💜thank you for sharing💜
Thanks for watching!
I love watching moss pole videos because none of my plants are climbing enough to need it yet. But I will say, some of these methods stress me out! I’m so glad that the front closing poles came out before I needed to start poles because I feel like those are the most practical to be able to chop/prop, extend.
You were saying you wished you’d have put the njoy on a bigger thickly, have you ever thought about just chopping and potting a second small one next to the first one? Like two in a pot, side by side? I haven’t seen anyone do anything like that and just thought it could be an option?
Thanks for the video! A great one as always! ❤
Hi Luna... she is so cute 🥰
Thanks for another great video!! Would love some more in depth videos chopping to encourage new growth like in the manjula in this video. I understand it’s quite easy but it is new to me so I still get confused on where to do it, why to do it, and understanding nodes/growth points in general. Thank you!!!
So beautiful 💚
Thank you! 😊
@@plantsbymelissa wlcm😊😊
You have many little shadows that like camera time🤣. Thay are so sweet and that kitty motor is all love and feel safe. Great Video take care
haha they love attention all the time 🥰
Lol. 40 moss poles! That sounds like my nightmare. I love them but they are so much work. I have a philo black and gold pole that’s partially filled with moss and she’s still sizing up great. I’m getting a Chiapense Variegated to put on a wire only pole. Plan is to double wrap the wire mesh to make the gaps in the wire smaller. Hope it works.
❤ i wanted to see your vedio maam i wont 4get everytime u have uploaded i love to see your arrangement in your plant room so amazing beautifull ,, watching from philippines❤❤❤god bless❤
Good Morning Melissa
Good morning! 🥰

I love watching your channel. Keep up! By the way I'm from the Philippines, one of your subscriber. See you on your next video. 🙂
Thank you for being here!! 🥰
💚
Awe, Melissa, I get emotional like that too. It’s okay. It’s sentimental. ❤ Is your first video posted still?
As nice as always👌
Plz tell me one thing that I collected random tree bark from some old trees in my area. Can I use it in my soil mix?
Melissa, wet the end of your grafting tape with spray bottle and it will stick much better at the end
I'll have to try that! Thank you!!
