I personally don’t care about trends, I watched you because you are you. will look forward to when you do post again. Take care of you and your plants.
I definitely second this. Sending love your way.
True story: I work from home and adore you as an office mate. I don’t know if long, rambling videos are easier to edit or not, but I would totally watch them, especially while I’m working. Realistic plant jungle+amazing personality=winning for me.
Guuuurl I’m 37 and I still have no direction. You’re not a failure. You don’t need to have everything figured out right now. You’re a beautiful human being and we love you. You do whatever works for you ❤
Also happy Valentine’s Day from Australia.
Hey kevin! Im also an RN, burnout is real. I think part time is a great balance for you - let nursing pay your bills and let plants be your passion. Itll help with burnout on both the nursing and plant sides when youre not putting pressure on your hobby to pay your bills
Trends? Omg, I don’t even think about it. All I know is I appreciate your videos, I’m good with you doing videos whenever cause I watch whenever. Be you and be happy. Love your plants and have learned so much from you.
I miss you Kevin. Please keep posting videos! I just wanna say I look up to you, as a new plant UA-camr myself, you were one of the top plant UA-camr that got me into this new journey that I love. I love the way you are, please keep doing you. 💚😘
It's easy to think that making a job out of the thing/hobby you love will be the perfect job. I'm happy for you that you were able to step back and see it wasn't working for you. As part of your audience I would hate the idea of anyone doing YT full time because they had to and not because it brings them joy. Your health and well-being come first.
I look forward to watching whatever you choose to upload-as long as it's a video you wanted to create, and enjoyed creating it.
I will miss your regular video posting, but I would rather see you when you are feeling like being seen than when you aren’t. This is your channel and it should be about you and what you want it to be. Also, I want to see the REAL plant care life. We can learn more from wonky plant life than from those few perfect leaves. Keep being you Kevin, and good luck on your work and plant journey! I’ll be here ready and waiting for your video posts whenever they happen! ❤
8:58 Hi Kevin just wanted to say that I appreciate all your hard work on here however your originality and honesty is what I love the most and keeps me looking out for your videos. Please keep showing us that we are not the only ones with imperfect plants and that it is absolutely ok to have ugly leaves as long as we are enjoying our plant journey ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Welcome back! Don't worry, even plants have their moody days. Let's tackle those sad plant chores together and turn them into a leafy party! 🌿😄
I just want to give you the biggest hug 🤍 After more then 15 years on UA-cam I stopped making videos. I got a job in November and decided that I had to give up two of my four companies to remian human and not be a robot that just works 24/7. It´s REALLY HARD having your own company not matter what it is. The plant community isnt what it used to be like in 2020. Many of the people that came to this community because of the pandamic has now left. So living on a UA-cam channel that only makes plant content is really hard. Always do what feels right for you Kevin. I love your personality so I think it sounds like a great idea only posting when you feel like it 🥰
You give me nothing but pleasure. I have watched you do entire segments on plants I don’t even like because I learn so much from you. I enjoy your exuberance. I enjoy your joy of plants. So do not allow anyone to take away your joy, it’s so hard to find.
Trends are boring...I like it when people keep it real. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Take care of you Kevin. Relax and enjoy your life ❤
Quality over quantity. I watch so many plant people and they’re always saying that they don’t know what to talk about or always worried about low viewership. But they HAVE to put out something to make money. Doesn’t seem worth it. Post when you want, what you want. I certainly will watch.
Missed you!!!
If UA-cam isn’t paying your bills, it doesn’t leave you much of a choice. But also, it’s so sad that your hard work hasn’t paid off.
It’s not your fault.
It isn’t.
Seriously.
You’re amazing.
Your content is amazing.
So grateful for how much I’ve learned from you.
I’d rather see a random video of yours than no videos.
You’ve gotta go down whatever path(s) make you happiest at any given moment in time. Things could change again in the future in terms of priorities, goals, and personal vision. Thank you for sharing whatever parts of the hobby you enjoy!
I missed you do much!! Come and make unedited videos of whatever when you feel like it! I will watch any "Kevin time"!!
Welcome back! We have missed you but so glad you are in a better space. We will take whatever videos you put out, whenever you are ready. I'm a big fan all the from South Africa with a big love for anthuriums and very different growing conditions. You are one of my favourites to watch but please put yourself first ahead of all us aroid addicts. Your well being is the most NB.
Kevin!!! I’m glad you’re back. You do you! Don’t worry about what’s trendy or whatever. Do what makes you happy and we’ll watch it. Your happiness and peace are all that matter ❤
I came for the plants but I stay because I like YOU. Hearing you say that you feel happy & calm makes me happy too. Also, we need caring nurses so thank you for what you do, especially when it’s hard. ❤
I love your channel because you show what real life is with plants. You don’t need to worry about trends. You’re perfect just the way you are.
Thank you for keeping it genuine and not following trends. Your authenticity is everything. Good luck going back to your position part time 💚
I love you because of the “imperfect” leaves that you love so much and love to share with us. I’m a loyal viewer because of your funny personality and genuine love for plants. Please take care of you first and continue doing what you love.
It really sounds like part time work can give you that stability to let lose and enjoy making videos again ❤
Thank you for the update and footage! Love seeing you run around doing 10 things at the same time cause that's me 😂
We missed you! But do whatever makes you happy, don’t stress!
I find social media can be extremely draining, and I don’t have anywhere near as many followers as you, so I can’t imagine what it’s like to keep up with weekly content. Schedules are overrated anyways 😂❤
You’re amazing and I’m excited you’re back!!!!! 🎉
Kevin we all live our massive chop and prop fevers vicariously through you my friend!!! 🪴🟰🌱🌱🌿🌱🌿🌿🌿🍃🪴🪴🪴🫶🏼😂 Honestly though I’m so glad your staying but I have nothing but respect for a person that can step back and say…..it’s too much so before I quit I am taking my peace of mind back and doing it on MY TIME! Seriously major respect for that…..! Enjoy life and your plants and we will be around when you want to share your journey with us on YOUR TIME! Good planty vibes sent your way!!!
Kevin, you will drive yourself crazy trying to be all things to people. As humans, we are a fickle bunch. They say that you have to play the game to be successful. Bravo to you for taking a stand. When you look at UA-cam trends in the plant community, you have to ask what's unique, and you can count on the same topics of 1. Big Box Store Shopping 2. Monthly Reset. 3. Plants I Don't Like. 4. Plant Favorites. 5. Watch Me Drink My Coffee or Tea then look at the camera. 6. Downsizing My Collection. 7. Plant Wishlist and so on. When one puts out a themed video, you can rest assured others will follow. There's beauty when you keep things real. I hope that you will find your footing and niche with and in the UA-cam realm because you are a refreshing choice🫂🪴❤
I just found you, and I think this vibe of "sharing realistic joy" should be the actual focus of everyone in the community. i love it and I'm here to stay for it 💚🌿
So glad you are back. I have found myself wondering where you went and if you are ok. I honestly enjoy your videos and you quickly became one of my favorite plant tubers. Whatever decision you make moving forward, just do you. We love you anyway.
I actually love how your viewership and following has grown organically. 💚
Supporting you as always-whatever and however you choose to run your channel, Kevin! ❤🎉
So sad to not hear you won’t be posting daily but I soooo support you doing what is most comfortable for you! Excited to see all that is to come.
I love when you suddenly start to sing.
I love your videos and definitely respect people who do not sell out x one million. I don't follow too many plant people and the ones I do are becsuse they are genuine. Thank you for being honest and just... you.
I love seeing your emotions coming through the camera 💗 of course I love seeing the plants but seeing you on UA-cam is such a joy and what in tune in for. I don't care about the trends- I just love seeing your passion for the plants you care for!
It's okay to march to the beat of your own drum. Do what makes you happy. We love you and your content for who and what it is. You were for sure missed.
Kevin we love you! You are one of my favorite plant tubers and I didn’t even know that you’re a nurse. I’m a nurse too. 💜 I don’t care what kind of videos you post, I’ll watch them regardless. Best of luck to you as you figure out your new life path. 💜
You inspired me to transition my plants into semi-hydro. I’ve loved learning from your videos since 2022. ❤
I’m glad you decided to stay. Yes please post what you love! Don’t need to follow the trends, though I feel like you have all the trends with those big monstera and philodendron leaves.
I’m not a perfect leaf chaser, I’m glad you’re not cutting us out altogether. Your mental health is everything ❤you do you, we’ll be here
I find winters are hard on us anyway, I’ve got some neglect going on too unfortunately.
I watch you specifically for Hoya and anthurium! Just post what you like 😭😭😭 we love you
So happy to see you back. I’ll take whatever videos you want to put out! I need to see the not great leaf or the leaf that aborted itself because that is real life! I like seeing that I’m not alone in this and even UA-camrs have struggles with their plants. You do you boo, and prioritize you, we’ll be here! ❤
As someone who has taken a step back on plants during the winter, I feel you. I also struggled because I didn't want to buy new plants because of the trends I didn't knew what my favorite plants are, the leaves where not perfect (stil beautiful), etc.
Now I focus more on plantcare and kind of know which plants I care the most about, because I was sad they didn't look as nice as before the winter.
So love that you don't want to follow the trends anymore and focus on what you like. We need more channels like that
Congrats on your new journey!!! Nursing is stressful too!!
Kevin you’re my favourite plant UA-camr and I love love love your hoya contents! Maybe you could take less time to edit since that could be so time consuming. I enjoy watching you ramble while doing plant chores haha! I think your channel is very very different so keep going! Go at your own pace! You’re such a plant wizard!
I’m so happy to see you. My kids ask to watch a Leca drop video at least once a week! Can’t wait to continue to watch your videos whenever you choose to post them
thank you for your honesty and bravery Kevin ❤ we will appreciate whatever you decide to do!
So glad you decided to stay. I’ve learned so much about plants, watering, feeding, and products from you. I watch you not because of trends but because you are you.
Hey Kevin, it’s all good, life is filled with ups and downs, take your time and do what’s necessary for your happiness.
I love just sitting down and doing plant chores while watching/ listening to a good plants UA-camr and you are literally top 3 for me hands down I love how you express yourself and you’re plants are amazing to see and I’m always excited for updates I think what you’re doing is more realistic than a typical “influencer” and I appreciate that even more. You seem more real which is hard to find these days 🥹❤️
I’m a fairly new subscriber and new to plants as well. I love your videos and thank you for the hard work you put into every single video. Your personality is what made me subscribe and don’t care for trends so I look forward to seeing future plant videos with you being you… ❤❤❤
I have missed you Kevin. I work from home too. I have learned so dang much from you.. you were my go too when I started my plant journey. I love your plants and you.. ❤❤❤
I am still jonesing for Plantarina. Please don’t think you failed, I ❤ you. BUT take care of yourself first. 🐝😎
Kevin, neverrrrr morph into every other trendy plant channel!😩 Those that show up and show out for you want to support and love on YOU...the real you! And that's the reason Im obsessed with ya!🫶🏾 I love how realistic your content is cause that's really what plant parenthood looks like. I love that you posted, and I love that you're sticking what you want to do and not what others want to see from you.🥰
We are so lucky to have you here. You are very knowledgeable and a true gem on UA-cam ❤
So glad you are back! We missed you! I love all your videos and am glad you don’t do videos like all the “normal” plant pages. I love that you do your own plant thing and ramble and tell us about your life like we are close friends. That’s what makes your page so special and amazing. We all get behind on our plants, mine are struggling right now haha. It’s totally normal so don’t stress 😆 Thanks for always keeping it real! Glad you’re happier now with what you’re doing, but always remember we love you! ❤❤
Hear you Kevin! I’m a nurse too!! I went into education! I love my hoyas too!! Do what is best for you!
Everything was a highlight to me, seeing massive hoyas and so well grown is always joyous😊
Thank you for being so real. I love you even more now! I support you doing what you love and not what is on trend. I really appreciate you and your realness in a world where everyone is trying to be “perfect”. BTW You make me laugh even on my worse days :)
My daughter kept trying to push me into a plant business but I told her if she took care of the business side and left me to my plants I would absolutely do it! Well, that was the end of that😊. Also, I too am the type to work things out on my own without so many voices trying to help me but can't, because it's just not my process ....... So, I thoroughly get what you are saying. I did miss you and only want the best for you so any time you pop up I'll be here!
Oh, and thank you!
Ur missed! I look 4ward 2 ur videos & even tho Hoyas r not my 1st choice, I do love them, I do have 6 Hoyas & I look 2 u & Bassie Plants 4 answers 2 the problems I face. Thank u 4 all the knowledge u have given me, not only with my Hoyas but 4 my philos. I don't have any Anthuriums but right now ....
I'm proud of u 4 sticking 2 ur principles & not being pushed in2 being 'trendy'! 'Trendy' doesn't last & I don't know how u, or anyone, could keep up honestly.
I hope u won't decide 2 stop ur channel altogether. I enjoy ur energy, personality & quirkiness & I would miss u as I would a good friend. I hope things continue 2 improve 4 u in finance, physical demands, mental health & all round happiness.
🤎 ur channel❣
I agree with you. UA-cam isn’t fun anymore. Wish you the best.
I love your Channel and I totally understand LIfe is Lifing ❤. Your content has helped me so much and I’ll take however many times you put these videos out. Thanks 🙏🏾
I appreciate you and your videos ❤ I have been learning over the past year from what you share. It's wonderful to see how you grow your plants and what my babies may look like one day. I love being able to share your channel with others looking for insight as well. At the end of the day, do what is good for you 😊 And no matter whether you post every few days or once a month, I think you will find, we will all still be here waiting to enjoy the journey with you.
We’ve missed your videos! Glad to hear you’re staying true to yourself. I don’t care about the trendy stuff. I learn tips about my plants to help them thrive and bloom. Enjoy being a part time nurse from a fellow nurse!
I am still watching it I haven’t finishes yet, but welcome back and I’m happy that you’re doing what makes you happy and not what the masses want to hear and see.
I love watching your videos! I’ve learned the most about propagating from you and I love listening to your chatting convo while I’m cleaning or doing plant stuff! Keep being you! Post whatever the heck you want! 🤪✌️
Take care of yourself, Kevin ❤
Take it from a elderly person you do what is best for you keep plants as I do they keep me centered and give me peace and happiness I love watching other people grow plants put as a job I think it would take away some of the joy show us what makes you feel happy ❤
I was thinking of you just the other day wondering if you were ok. Good for you! I’m glad you’re doing better. Don’t put so much pressure on yourself. You have a long life to live yet and that’s just not sustainable. I’m not watching your videos because you have fashionable plants. I’m watching to learn and I’ve learned so much. First and foremost take care of yourself. You can only do so much in 24 hours. If we’re lucky enough to get a video from you, awesome. Take care of yourself. If not that’s just how it is. ❤
You are not a failure UA-cam has failed you. Greed is ruining UA-cam.
Good on you! I've always thought that plant channels aren't going to be sustainable as a full-time income because of trends and people's interest in plants comes and goes, and realistically there is only so much you can talk about or film when it comes to plants right!? Lol. Best of luck for your future endeavours 🎉
*❤WE LOVE & APPRECIATE YOU KEVIN❤*
*🎉🎊WELCOME🪴BACK!!!!!!🎊🎉*
HI Kevin I have missed your channel The life you lead is your life no one elses You do what pleases you , after all you were put on earth to be Happy LOVE you LOTS
Awww ❤ the singing, so makes me smile 😊 49:13
Glad you are back! Here to watch any video you do! 😀
I missed your videos!! I appreciate all your hard work, kevin :)
So happy you’re not fully leaving ❤ please continue to put your own happiness first ❤❤❤
It seems to be a positive thing that you are relieving yourself of the pressure associated with depending on a UA-cam structure for a living. I’ll bet you are a kind and compassionate nurse! I’ll be looking forward to whatever content you feel comfortable sharing. Trends are irrelevant to me. I grow what I like! Glad you’re back!
Baby, you do you. I enjoy whatever you post and very glad when you post. I also learn a lot from you especially with hoyas, but I love your other plants too. Keep it coming what makes you happy which makes us happy. ❤
Honestly, being yourself, filming what you want, showing the imperfect & not following trends is the best direction to take. I do this for my channel. I do what I want. If my viewers don't like my content, there are 100s of others out there to follow instead. Sounds like you made it way too stressful for yourself. It should be fun. You got this. I love your videos
Good for you. Do what makes you happy! I've been watching since you started and love to way you approach your videos.
Kevinnnnnnnn! Super thrilled to your handsome and energetic self again!!! I am glad you took time for yourself - only you can determine what is best for yourself ❤ Film the truth about all things planty - we love and support your honesty and creativity to the moon and back 😊
Hearing you say that a perfect plant is not real brings closure to my soul. I just said goodbye to my h.serpens that i desperately wanted to grow like yours 😂❤ congratulations on accepting the new/old job 🎉
So happy to see you back! My hubby and I were worried about you! Lol Nursing is a grueling career choice. Few careers are as honourable and important as the one you have chosen. I hope you can find a balance that makes you fulfilled and happy! Love your videos ❤
You post as little or as much as you want, I’ll be here for it
You are NOT a failure!😢 Breaks my heart to hear ya say that. I'm a Mom of 3 adult kids, here is what I'd say to them.
Thank you for being brave enough to share your feelings, struggle, and process. You should be proud, I'm proud of you! Please know you are loved unconditionally, there is NO right way, path...we all follow our own and taking different forks on that road is natural. Sometimes they dead end, sometimes they get rough to travel but open to a beautiful space. Do what makes you happy, there is NO perfection. Listen to your spirit and those that are 100% with you..real folks not the " noise". You have myriad gifts, you are a gift. Treat yourself as kindly and compassionately as you treat others. Wishing you nothing but peace and fun in this new season of your journey. I love you.
I love this so much! Yesssss yesss. No to trends, just do whatever makes you happy I love your genuine self ❤ i love having you playing in the background ❤
Its good that you have a half time job and still can do UA-cam. Thats a good choice for life ;)
I love your videos and you! This is YOUR LIFE, you need to do you and what is best for your happiness and well-being. I'm very happy for YOU! I'll be here for your future videos. ❤❤❤
Good to see you Kevin hope all is well, Im glad you decided to do you we will gladly accept anything you got🫶💚🪴
I am happy to see your beautiful face. I will always be here to support whatever you can give but don't do it "just because" Put yourself first ❤
I'm glad you're okay! You must follow your heart, and it sounds like you have figured it out. I enjoy your videos, and I appreciate all the videos you've created. I'll continue watching in the future, and am glad you are doing better. BTW, your videos introduced me to hoya polyneura outer variegated and hoya New Guinea Ghost. I fell in love with their amazing beauty, and searched for them until I could add them to my collection. Thank you!
You are a natural teacher. We all benefit from your channel. Bottom line is that you should do what makes you happy and fulfilled. Whenever you feel like posting, great; we can't wait! 😀
Hi Kevin! I hate trends too! I would love to hear about your hoyas when you feel lime it. But I am here because you are great! I love plants but love your fun and genuine personality more 😀
I’m sorry it was a hard journey but I’m glad you learned more about yourself and your dreams and I hope it ends up bringing you to where you ultimately find the most happiness ❤
I have literally been stalking your channel looking for a new video. I'm so glad you took care of you! but I'm so glad your back literally made my day when I saw my notification you posted a new video! Will be anxiously awaiting the next one whenever it is uploaded! Thanks for coming back!
Hi Kevin, I am so happy that you are back! I love you and your channel and will watch your content for as long as you create it! ❤❤❤
So happy to see you back! 🙌🙌
5:58 YES! This! I’m a small plant UA-camr and I’ll probably always be small because I’ll post what I like. Following the trends literally sucks the fun out of doing UA-cam IMO. And I’d rather be genuine and post what i enjoy rather than following the trends. You’ll always have a viewer in me! 🙋🏽♀️
I really enjoy being planty with you. I had slacked off of watching for a while only because I spend do much time keeping up with politics here in the states. ❤❤❤
