Nobody told me rare plants can be this exciting! :D
As a very tiny youtuber I just wanted to pop in and say thank you for the transparency in the sponsorship issues. It enabled me to stand up for myself and allows me to set standards as I continue forward in my journey. It is much appreciated.
Instead of Repot with Me it's Cut the Crap with Kaylee :D
Haha, and she's cutting the packing of plants
Totally agree with the sponsorship thing! No RUclipsr should be trading product for promotion.. advertising is expensive and these brands need to pay for it! Not to mention that it hurts all of us other RUclipsrs because the bar keeps getting set lower and lower price wise. I don't even respond to 99% of the "sponsors" that reach out to me because it's just crap that they want free promo for 🙅♀️
You’ve inspired me to seek out less common plants for my small collection, so yesterday I ordered a Philodendron Jungle Boogie. I’m so excited for it to arrive, and I love watching your videos! I hope you have a good day and a good week.
These are amazing! I found a small one locally in spring and it gives me a new leaf every two
weeks and now is onne of my larger plants.
Nice vid👌👍
What's wrong with common plants; they're here to stay.
@@marigonzalez8344 I do also love common plants - most of my collection is stuff that’s relatively easy to find. It’s just that I was looking at plants and this one happened to be less common, I guess.
Plan to make a video about the variegated gloriosum debacle? Honestly people were crazy harsh to you about it for no damn reason. So many people don't understand you run a business and have far surpassed "hobbyist" too. Meanwhile, I was like, "get your coin girl!" But all the "where is the money going?" "whose plant is it?" "whose auction is it?" To be frank, that's no ones business.
You're sooo right! Why do people get so nasty anyway? For f's sake, that's her plant, she can sell it for billions and I say good for her! I think they are doing that out of pure envy 😉
She's a public figure lol. Get used to it.
@@clintparsons3989 she’s a human. Bug off. There’s no need for hate anywhere. Being a public figure doesn’t justify people who have nothing better to do other than tear someone down for no good reason. But you do you! Be that person.
people just want to find any excuse to rip this girl apart.
i didn't even think that far, i was just like 'aight cool' and went on with my day because i knew i could never even dream of owning it.
@@clintparsons3989 what a shitty way to think.
I'm a physiotherapist and also happen to have scoliosis. It's surprisingly common, so nothing to worry about. One way to improve both sides of your back, without one arm compensating is to do unilateral training - there are rowing machines with two separate handles for example.
There are actually cases where scoliosis is something to worry about. A person very close to me had to have extensive back surgery as a teen otherwise he would be in a wheelchair because of a very crooked spine. Strength training is helping but it is not helping everyone. As a physiotherapist you should be aware of that.
I have it and I think I have more (girl) friends with it than without it. I only know one person who had a surgery because of it. A sister of a friend had a brace but refused to use it. Rest of my friends just passively have it.
I was also diagnosed with scoliosis a couple years ago. I was 28. Mine came about because I’m a police officer and my belt with all my heavy gear shifted my spine to the side with the most weigh pushing down on my hip. It’s a problem a lot of girl cops have but I didn’t think it would happen to me so soon in my career. The exercises GREATLY improved my strength. I hope you start feeling better and getting stronger 💕❤️ I feel like you seem so happy and glowing in this video.
RUclips interrupted the bit on overly aggressive grow light advertisers… to advertise me some grow lights. 🤦
First thing: Very excited for the gnarly video for Halloween.
Also wanted to say that I really think it's a breath of fresh air to listen to you give your thoughts on sponsorships and valuing ones time . It's a good reminder, to me and maybe other viewers, that life is more than just the grind and it's important to remind yourself of your own value. Sometimes I feel like everything is just go go go, whether it's your job or school or family commitments or anything else, so it's great to hear someone that is motivated mention how time is a valuable thing we all have. :)
It's always good listening to these videos, plus I love your honesty and integrity to be amazing. I got a couple of very unique plants. The amount of great content that saves me from some bad ideas. One of my friends is always impressed with my knowledge of plants. So thank you for your great content
Oh my god, thank you so much for talking about sponsors, Kaylee! The art world equivalent of the grow lights would be graphic tablets. The audacity those brands have, wow! Legit had a random person reach out asking me to do my illustration tutorials EXCLUSIVELY with their product for like a month/8 videos. No fee, but hey, a free tablet! (which they were asking to return at the end 🙃) I mean... really? 😑
We love a holiday that absolutely positively does wonders for us whether that's laying in bed or working our butts off becoming the best versions of ourselves. We love to see you thriving! xx
Scoliosis was a weird kind of boogeyman for me growing up in America in the 80s and 90s. There was a big scare about kids getting it because of how heavy backpacks were, and there was a big push at the national level to screen kids once a year for like... how many pushups could you do, how flexible were you, what was your BMI, how straight was your spine, that kind of thing. (You'd think the solution would be "restrict the number/size of books kids had to haul around for their classes", but that's logic, and we don't do that in this country.)
Regardless, having a name for the thing does give you more power to address the problems, so I'm glad the exercise is helping and hope things keep getting better! (If only he could prescribe you a horse.)
as the "fat kid" in elememtary and middle school, I HATED the scoliosis screening day.. 🤣
Thank you for holding onto your values and your integrity. Your true and honest opinions is what keeps me coming back. You respect your audience and your buyers. And, we respect and trust you in return.
The irony of getting a grow light commercial 2 times during this video, once exactly when Kaylee talks about the aggressiveness of their marketing.
Awesome on all topics 👍 I love how thoughtful and clear you are on everything you bring up. I love hearing about plant stuff and that's why I started watching but I stay because you'll about whatever is on your mind plants and otherwise and that helps keep it interesting and relatable 💓
Glad someone has spoken about these sorts of sponsors. I have done light videos but I control the conversation. I get the light I decide what's in the video and I charge to make the video Usually around 2.5k a time. Creators need to know their worth and walk away of they don't play by your rules. I have sponsors for gaming, clothing, housewares, and all sorts of crap I will not do. Infact I had a few from miracle gro that I have since told I will never work with them again after this time. Sometimes you have to just send them packing.
Great video glad you took o personal time
Too funny about the growlights, Mars Hydro sent me a light, I tested it and when I did my review I said I honestly could not say it was that much better than my 5000k shop lights (which were $45). They had said they would send grow tent etc., after that video, I didn't hear from them again. I laughed, I agree, small RUclipsrs need to be careful with what they are raving about and should ask themselves would they pay $100+ for those items.
Do grow lights and shoplights have different spectrums or something or are they totally the same?
They are different, I go by the Kelvin, 5000k emulates daylight, not sure what the red blue spectrum is but they work great for me. I even use 4000k under cupboard lighting in my ikea Greenhouses and they plants do great. You won't receive the same sunstressing on plants like Hoyas but mine are healthy and happy.
@@jungleflowerscanada5384 my Hoyas under my shop lights get just as sun stressed! That’s why I don’t see the point in spending 100s for “grow lights” either.
It's nice that the company wasn't able to buy you off. It's really important that companies don't start to bully content creators into paid promotion and force them to compromise the integrity of their voice
I’ve never noticed your signature in the bottom right hand of the frame. Very cool!
Don't usually comment but been a subscriber for a while 👋 fellow scoliosis sufferer (I'm post-op now) and girlllll I feel you with the back pain 😫 it's a daily struggle! Muscle building is 100% the best way to go, even on the bad days a walk and a stretch can make all the difference. Love your channel and the way you view the world 💕
I agree with everything you said about the sponsorships, although I didn’t know you had to make so much content. I never get that far because I don’t like the lights offered and I definitely don’t like the way they approach me.
I completely got you! I also have back issues but with my lower part and appropriate excercises are a thing that really helps me. I hope you will be fine but - as you said - it is not a thing you can cure, so i hope we will both do the good job and make our lives easier 💚
Well done for ranting! Love how bold you are!
People freak out when they see springtails in the soil. So I totally see how they will freak out receiving plants with lacewings,isopods etc.
Springtails are so beneficial! We bought some to add to our stick insect substrate as they eat up all the bad stuff!
@@EmmaMorgan09 they can be not so beneficial if there is no decaying matter to eat.
Glad to hear you found help for your back!
I do not have anything to offer about backs, pests, or sponsors, but I do have a podcast recommendation.
Bedtime Stories is great. Not the best name because there are a few podcasts named Bedtime Stories (of course), but this one has a skull for the thumbnail. :)
My husband and I listen to it every night while going to sleep and it is both chill and creepy. It is respectful to those involved and not overly sensational. It also doesn't really push the listener to believe one idea about a mystery over another. It is fun to look up the primary sources the day after listening to an episode, and many stick with us for a long time after listening. We love it!
Fellow scoliosis haver. Had it since I was very little. My case is pretty bad, surgeries, etc. but yoga has helped me a lot with alieving pain.
I found out that i have a scoliosis too when I was 12. It’s shit, my spine is bent in an S-shape and my left rib cage is protruding forward...
It will never go away and it’s shit, but at least I was not competing in sports.
Kaylee, I’m so glad to hear that your case wasn’t severe and you were able to go on with your everyday life, I would’ve been guttered if you had to give up your plant shop or horseback riding because of your disease ☺️
Every day is a holiday when the babies are thriving 🌱🌱🌱🌱
Oh man I also have mild scoliosis and my spine curve all sorts of different ways! My mom has had back problems and when a mother with back issues is pregnant with a child, she’s more likely to give it to the baby, since I turned 11, it started hurting a ton so my mom brought me to her chiropractor. I have to go twice a week and also have excercises and I feel so much better! I wish you all the best Kaylee
I’m here for the ‘ Entitled sponsors ‘ ! 🤣
US$40,000 … hmmmm , I’m guessing it’s Spiritus Sancti , Obliqua or Variegated Gloriosum ! 🤣🤣🤣
Ok, and the plant you just got is a variegated Golden dragon ? 🤣🤣🤣
Does anyone else feel like if you invited Kaylee over for dinner and she was a new friend and saw your like, comparatively basic and common plant collection she would be so genuinely nice and kind and interested in your plants even though she has way cooler stuff that she sees every day? 😂
“trust me you get FUCK ALL” i spit out my drink lmaooo
Wow. I almost spit out my tea when you said $40k. I didn’t know a plant could get that expensive.
You are forever on my super baller status list!
She is inspired me to keep Anthurium more & more 🤓😉
Within the Wires and Alice isn't Dead are my favorites! They're both in the WTNV family
Interesting to hear you talk about your pest control, thank you for your honesty and concern for public safety. I'm wondering when you air out your warehouse after the bug bombs, does that poison go straight outside and harm the wildlife and bugs in your local area?
Really loved everything you had to say on sponsorships. I appreciate that breakdown.
Real life ghost stories- a fantastic podcast. Unfortunately, Dan passed away this June. His wife, Emma, carries on with a podcast now.
We use neurotoxins in Norway, aswell. In our homes. Well, not IN, but we use it privately. Also use it on our doorsteps and windowsills to deter insects to enter.
I also have scoliosis and my back partially fused together. I find it that MSM taken with vitamin C relieves pain. It took me 3 months before I felt relief. Not only that, but your hair and nails will grow like crazy.
I have scoliosis as well, I work out 2 times a week for years now, it's a lot of work but with going to the gym and working out, I'm fine.
I love plant mail!!! I love ur plants. And ur not bad urself lol. plum cool.
Thanks for this valuable insight on sponsors. Since gardening exploded a bit with the pandemic, I've seen a huge boom in Chinese-made grow lights and other garden products and they are always SO pushy. I would never take a sponsorship from a company like that either.
My guess on your new wishlist unicorn is the variegated golden dragon!
Now that you say that about grow lights, a lot of the plant tubers i watch do have a crap ton of videos about their “grow light”. The shittiest part, is that people go out and buy 300 dollar grow lights and it’s not even necessary- maybe for growing maryj, but not house plants. But, that’s why the grow light companies target them- because they do know the influence they have over buyers. Sadddd. Especially when it sound like it’s not even worth it!
But, many plantubers sponsee EVERYTHING. like they say they do stuff they “love” but when it’s everything and anything the credibility and trustworthiness is just gone. Oh well, I suppose.
Thank you for being true and honest! That’s why you’ll always be one of my favorites. Keep doing you, lady!! 🌱💚
Glad ur holiday helped u. And i love the gym. The rush!!
My daughter had 2 severe curves with her scoliosis. She had her entire spine fused together. Grew 3 inches from the surgery. I understand your back pain.
I’m so glad you put out this video! I’ve been wanting a grow light from a company in Belgium. The light is aesthetically pleasing but very expensive. Every time I search for a review it’s always a paid promotion. Makes it hard to determine whether it’s a legitimate product for the price or just marketing. Love your channel 😊
💚great video. My doctor told me if I wouldn't have the muscles that I do I would be in a lot of pain due spinal issues as well. I don't horse ride anymore but I do go to yoga regularly 😌
Yes, please DO not look up anything about scoliosis. It can be REALLY bad. But, it sounds out like you have a great doctor which is amazing. You’re one tough lady, you’ll get through this!
In the US we do Scoliosis tests as kids and it is quite common! I’m glad you got a diagnosis and can work on strengthening the muscles and elongating your spine. Back stuff is so frustrating!
I don't know Will Elliott but I noticed Katherine Dunn wrote the introduction, I read her Geek Love book (about an albino dwarf!) a few years ago and enjoyed that.
Please look into psoas muscle release exercises for scoliosis. I have it too and those have resolved so much pain for me! It’s not about strengthening, it’s about the release. The psoas isn’t usually the focus with doctors, it’s not a very well researched or understood muscle. ❤️ There is a trauma connection too, it is a muscle that is engaged during fight-flight-freeze. A lot of trauma yoga addresses this muscle.
Sorry to hear about your back, but at least you've been diagnosed early! I've got severe scoliosis, double curve that looked exactly like an "S" till I had surgery a few years ago. It's not fun so I get what you're going through. Unfortunately your curve will increase every year.. What I would suggest for you is to look into getting a back brace(an option for mild curves), which you could wear to protect your back when horse riding! That and back exercises should help heal and slow that curve increase. Hopefully this helps a little, take care of yourself!!
Hi Kaylee. So glad you're continuing your horse riding. Even if you can extend that one lesson a week to an hour instead of 30 mins it would really benefit you. I always found the 30 minute lessons were too short to really work on anything properly. I hope you find a barn soon. Look into leasing a horse as also. My sister leases her horse and her leasee has access to the horse 2 days a week. But in the contract the leasee has to take lessons with a trainer while leasing if they are a beginner. Find out when your local shows are. You can meet so many people that way. Good luck 😊
Scoliosis isn't bad at all and since you're older it won't get worst. Your pain in most likely from the pain of the musculature surrounding the curve. It happens in females who have gone through a growth spurt! Coming from someone who has scoliosis and has no pain (and a doctor). Exercise is key! I'm glad you got it checked
Little disappointed, in came here for the grow lights and pest control 😂 loved the chat tho, hope your back is feeling better!
Omg you've listened to the Magnus archives!!!! The writer, Jonny Sims, has a book called 13 Storeys you might enjoy, also the penumbra podcast is good, Caravan is a good podcast, any of Rusty Quills other podcasts are good
Disclaimer - not an experienced plant keeper... but since you talked lights I have a question... whats the difference between the pink colored lights verses the white colored ones...speaking about the color or light produced..
Scoliosis very common. I have it for years too. It's mostly because we sit at desk with bad posture, walking with back pack on one arm and many more similar stuff for bad posture.
Great video! Thanks for sharing. Especially about sponsorships. New subscriber 💚
I have Scoliosis! It’s very common but no one talks about it, I feel your pain super frustrating. But not you know the best exercises!
I have mild scoliosis and it was only diagnosed as part of a scuba diving medical...did always wonder why I could never keep a bag on my shoulder though. I have had a couple of bouts of back pain and have to be careful not to do stomach pull up exercises otherwise i've had very little trouble so everyones severity is different.
My sister has a severe case of scoliosis and the drs sat it got worse with her age. And they don't know hoe she's able to walk still. I hope they found yours fast enough to stop it from getting worse. :) I'm sure you will find your way through it. And I want one of these plants they are fricken gorgeous!!!!!
What kind of lights do you actually use on your shelves?
I loved TMA and Nightvale and I'm listening to Hello from the Hallowoods at the moment, and I love The Penumbra Podcast too :)
The Apology Line is such a great podcast. I wanted more when it was over. Crossing my fingers for another season. In summery it is recording if people calling in on a number and they can tell their deepest darkest secrets. It’s chilling and dark.
I love spooky season, and I may need to look up that book. Thanks!
The scoliosis can be strenghtened by carrying heavy handbags in your right hand. My mum has one shoulder higher than the other because of that. It is better to only carry small bags or a backpack.
I have scoliosis that was undiagnosed until February this year. I had to go to the ER because of extreme pain on my back. Anyway, do have a proper check up on yours. An MRI will give you a clear picture of the condition of your spine. I kept putting my check up off, relying on pain meds when my back was sore. Guess what, my IV discs from L4-S1 are dessicated. That's really bad. Just have a proper check up. Physio can teach you about proper body mechanics such as when lifting things, standing etc., to prevent further damage to your spine. I hope you have it done before you continue with horseback riding and gym. Take care.
Agreed
Catching it early on makes management alot better. There are surgical procedures for it, BUT should a LAST RESORT
Sorry to hear about your spine, but glad you’ve found things too help with it. Hoping you show us your horse when you find one. 😀
I haven’t read the book but it’s on my list now! It reminded me of Clive Barker meets The Christmas Carol, by your description 🖤
I am a horse owner and a plant collector. I wish you nothing but the best in finding your perfect equine partner and following your dream. Ride on!
Great you have been able to "sort" your back, remember those early videos now you mentioned them. You have come a long way from the early days of repotting at a table with your latex gloves on and getting soil everywhere 😀 Shame about the horse riding lessons, hopefully you will find somewhere else. Looking forward to the gnarly episode
Mental health is health. Take care of yourself.
Find someone who has a horse they want to part loan. I’ve been riding since I was 6 in pony club. Plants & horses are my life 😁🪴x
I did a 4 month exercise program with a Chiropractor. Made a world of difference. You are way too young to be down with that!
Yeah I have scoliosis as well, since I was 13yrs old, it's gotten worse over the years (I'm 36 now) and doctors don't help a whole lot. Physical therapy was the only thing that helped. I also found out one leg was a little shorter then the other and got a shoe insert that really helped.
Love the honesty
Kaylee I just watched your living wall creation video and I want to make my own mini living wall in my bedroom!
How do you look after all of the plants on the wall, what if they get pests and they’ll all have different watering needs?
Also how did you attach the plants further up did you just attach a their pot to the wall?
Scoliosis is pretty common so no worries it is managable especially if yours is not bad, take care
I have done one of those review things for Amazon, but the guy was really nice I got to keep the product, 10 extra for the review. It was purely for the review. Small Amazon store product was not terrible but not amazing. It was decent
I really recommend you to use vinegar for controling pests at home (for a shop it might be tedious). It is very effective on killing insects on the leaves and control fungi. I've had amazing results on just the second application, the mealybugs were gone! You just have to dilute 1 part of vinegar to 10 parts of water and apply it 2 times a week with a spray on the leaves. However, I would test it first in a leaf to see how well the plant does with it. I really enjoy watching your videos and I've learned a lot.
Would you do book reviews when you manage to get through one, I'd love to know your thoughts on them! Second channel idea??
Respect the honesty
I love this video!! Fuck them it is your time, you have to make your money!!! Glad to here you have relief from your back pain!
OMG so sad the camera stopped on its own. Perhaps not the first time it happened?
In video production / cinematography there is a thing called Tally Light. Which is just a red / green indication light that lights up when the camera is rolling. The set up should be quite simple.
Or, maybe consider switching to Sony FX3? One it has multiple built-in configurable tally lights, two it's autofocus is second to none. It also has the best-in-class video quality, quite conveniently.
Love your works, thanks for the quality content.
Were you ever screened in high school/as a teenager for scoliosis? It’s a common screening in the US since it’s important to detect it while you are still growing. Lots of scoliosis in my family.
I have scoliosis too! Mild but it’s there. 😩
The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett is good read for non-typical fantasy. All 4 books are great, one of my favourite series. Eragon and Game of Thrones in book form are also worth a read.
Oh, and the Jurassic Park books are eye opening.
I have a disc bulging on a nerve constantly between L4 and L5 in my lower spine and the pain literally makes day to day activities nearly impossible. It’s really rough sometimes
I have a few in my lower back too, have you been to a back specialist- they gave me some amazing exercises that have really help relieve the pain.
@@flowergirllove21 yes I was doing physical therapy and nothing helps long term. It’s only relief while at therapy and then shortly after I back in pain. I’ve become so numb to the pain most days unless I go above and beyond. Then I’m in like actual pain and discomfort and can’t do much of anything
@@KaylasPlants ugh I’m so sorry to hear that. Sending you so much healing and love! 💚
@@flowergirllove21 same to you!!!
Are there any Grow lights you WOULD recommend for at home use. I have a bunch of plants in very handy setups with different grow lights and would like to make a more " proper " yet still janky setup lol. But I don't know what some good grow lights for lots of plants and somewhat of a large area and not so much small shelves and sections
I have scoliosis and so does my sister. Hers is worse than mine and her hips are noticeably tilted and uneven. Makes it look like she's leaning to the side. Mine is mild and more of a minor inconvenience with back pain now and then.
My sister had scoliosis and had to get metal bars in her back to fix it when she was younger. It’s nothing to take lightly
Hi Kaylee, I noticed that you have large water tanks for semi-hydro system. Do you have algae problems? How do you deal with it?
I really do need to read a book!!
