I hope this doesn’t sound too weird but your voice is super soothing lol anyway, great video 🤗
Not weird at all and thank you!! ☺️
😘
Yessss im not the only one i say that too
I think it’s super enjoying, sing talking 😂
Love love love Ms. Luna's video cameos. She looks like she is feeling so much better! Happy anniversary!
Thank you so much! ☺️ She has been a lot more active lately! Climbing on furniture and running around chasing the other cats. It makes me so happy 🥺
I use Pirate Beetles instead of lacewings, and I use tiny paper cups (made for candy drops??) with rippled edges and silver plastic something on the outside from the dollar store. I like them because they're lightweight and I can squeeze them between branches. I don't want to have to clean dishes, and I can totally re-use the ones I have forever - they re-stack easily. Also, my little armies get released much faster than those sachets.
I'll have to look into pirate beetles! Thanks for sharing! 💗
When we went to Jamaica, I saw SO many huge golden pothos and monstera leaves. It was truly amazing and so beautiful!
I was so happy I was able to see them in person 😍 I am only used to my small golden pothos leaves in a pot 😂 Happy Anniversary!!
🥹 I feel like a proud parent seeing my babies 🌱🌱 in your video 😅. Thank you so much! Btw, I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it, they were growing in lechuza pon as they acclimated to room humidity, so if you wish to put them into semi-hydro, they should be ready for that. I’ve transferred some into pon, and some into soil mix without any problem with these guys 🙌.
It’s so crazy how you can get 300+ seedlings out of just one inflorescence right?!!! 👏😵💫. Can’t wait to follow your journey with yours!
Also, your videos are always so soothing and relaxing to watch. I’m always looking forward to seeing them! 🫶
And, Happy Anniversary once again! 😊💚
😂🤣
aww thank you so much!! That was really so sweet of you!! 😭 I actually might consider pon for them! That's good to know. I have another anthurium in moss I want to move over to pon soon. I'm so happy all of your baby anthuriums are doing well for you!! I really appreciate it and thank you so much again! 🥺
Love watching. I have been battling thrips Nd mealies as well. I took a large plastic container and filled with water. Placed 2 tbsp dawn soap 2tbsp peroxide 2tbsp ru bing alcohol and 2 tbsp neem oil. Stir it all up. Remove soil from roots and soak entire plant 30 min. Then repot in fresh soil. Have had no more issues. It is a big job if you have lots of plants. It well worth it. Do some each day.
Sorry about the pests! They definitely create a lot of extra work sometimes 😔
Lacewings eat each other so I always sprinkle a little in each plant to have better success at preventing them from eating each other. While I don’t see many when I order them I do feel like they definitely work!
I saw on the package it said they were cannibalistic and I had no idea 😂🫶
@@plantsbymelissa also, if you do try them again, be sure to release them as soon as they’re delivered because when they’re in that little bottle the likely hood they eat each other is very high ❤️
I order mine off a local Facebook group who does large group orders but the website we purchase from offers little hanging cards that are super helpful as the eggs are just adhered to a little 1x1ish” card and I hang one small card on each plant
I believe that soaking the plant in alcohol. I have a spray bottle full of alcohol and I spray it down on all sides of the leaves I could find. Usually one treatment works but I usually do too. They just stay on my planting mat until they dry. Works for me.
Gorgeous green on your new sweater. Your plants are stunning. As are you!! ❤
Happy 15th anniversary Melissa! ❤ Our anniversaries are just days apart. My 28th anniversary was August 5th. I really enjoy watching your videos. Take care!
Thank you so much! Happy anniversary to you too! ☺️
Thank you!
I really like the air plant hanger w/pot.
Thank you! It was so cute!! 💗
Your sweet smile and giggles say you enjoyed a well deserved vaca! R & R is amazing medicine!!! I love that pot & hanger! Ahhhh St Augustine is so beautiful!!
Thank you so much!! I definitely want to go back when it cools off some! It was a lot of fun! ☺️
U should do planting Asmr lol i looove when Melissa puts a video
Thank you!! 💗
That Golden Pothos growing up the tree was amazing!!! 💚
It was absolutely beautiful in person!!
Ahhh!!!! I love Monstera roots! So satisfying….my Aurea prop even had a big chunky variagated root……so amazing!
Enjoyed this video a lot. Definitely liked the Monstera Tervis cup. It seems like I share your liking of checking out plants when traveling. Whenever I go to Amelia Island I always look enviously at the beautiful Sago Palms that are commonly found in the landscaping there. The envy is because I am determined to grow one as a houseplant but for some reason that plant defeats me and I can’t figure out why. I will never give up however. A very Happy Anniversary to you and Kevin (I hope I got your husband’s name correct). Thanks for the video.
Yes, it is! Thank you so much! I can't help but look now everywhere I go now :) We planted a few sago palms this year outside but they haven't done much of anything lol I think they can be difficult to grow inside but hoping you can get one growing!!
Thanks for sharing your getaway🎉 Just thinking some different content could be your favorite things you cook and drinks that you have mornings maybe some of your favorite products you use but always remember we love the plants 🌱💚 👍👍
Happy anniversary! So happy to see the progress with your monsteras already! Always enjoy watching, as always💚
Thank you so much!! The Aurea's have definitely rooted quickly! So surprised to see that! ☺️
I love love love your plant chores! Especially the one where you cut your hair was so soothing 😊
Thank you! 🫶 I cut my hair in an order video is that the one you mean?
Happy Anniversary! 🥳🎉💐 Love your PPP, I picked up a marble one also. The Anthurium babies are so cute an so nice of her to share. I love the Doryaki X’s I have a Lux x Dory. Your anthurium babies are looking good. I think I’d contact Natures Good Guys an let them know yours was dud. The Cordiline is so beautiful, those colors 😍 Glad you enjoyed your trip. 💚
Thank you!! ☺️ It was so sweet of her! I'm excited to see them all grow out! I'll probably give them a couple days to see if any more hatch but not really noticing anything active which is so sad. I'll have to email them to see what they say 😬
@@plantsbymelissa I would email them. That’s a lot of money not too see anything an it can’t hurt to try. 🫶🏼💚
Oh I’ve seen them on Amazon. I wanted to buy them but I have no reason to buy them. But they are really cute.
That cebu blue is huge and the plants are all so gorgeous!!! And, Happy Anniversary 🎉❤
Thanks so much! 😊✨
😍
the marbling on that lowes pp! what a great find!! 😍🥰
Right?! I feel so lucky to find it! 🥺
Happy Anniversary 🎉 our Anniversary was august 4th and we’ve been married 50 years hopefully you two will have many more 😊
That is amazing!! Congratulations and thank you so much! 💗
Those anthurium seedlings are stinking cute
they are adorable!! 🥺
Your tortum looks beautiful. Mine finally started putting out new leaves. It put out two in a matter of days. It’s still scrawny but once the leaves straightened out it will look much better.
I got the same exact marbled princess too. I love it! So beautiful. I missed you and your videos! Happy Anniversary 😊
Thank you! 🤗 Congrats on finding one!! I feel so lucky to have it! It was a nice little getaway but glad to be back in a routine of things again 🥰
Happy Anniversary Melissa! Here in Florida it is very very hot and humid so I cannot blame you wanting to return right away. The new plant is beautiful!!❤
Thank you!! We definitely want to go back when the weather isn't so hot. We love visiting FL 🥰
I enjoyed this video very much!
Glad you got away to celebrate your anniversary 🎉
Thank you so much! It was a nice little weekend getaway! ☺️
Happy Anniversary🎉
Thank you so much 🥰
Congratulations on your anniversary. St. Augustine is a beautiful old town. I'm in Tallahassee and the heat is unbearable with no relief in sight. I'm sure the fur babies are happy to have you guys back home. 😺😺😺
Thank you so much! Yes, so hot but it was a lot of fun to get away for a few days! 💗
Happy anniversary!!❤️
Thank you so much!! 🥰
I love Tervis tumblers! The bigger the better. Wish I could find one of those PP in Wisconsin.
me too! I have been using my old one all the time so I'm happy to have a second one! 😂 I was shocked to find that Pink princess!
💗happy anniversary💗
Alll growing nicely,specially the monstera roots‼️
💚🌱☘️🌵💚
Thank you so much! I love looking at the roots growing! lol it's so cool!
Sorry for all the messages haha! But…..so happy about your alocasia!!! Mine are all in self watering with soil and doing amazing but now I want to try some pon too 😂
Thank you!! Love seeing some of them grow back 🥺 I honestly wished I tried pon sooner!
Yayyy! Happy anniversary again girlie. 💕💕🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
Thank youuu!! 🥺🫶
Happy Anniversary 🎉 so happy to see your monstera roots ! 😊
Thank you so much! Same!! It makes me so happy 🥺
Wow you do have lots of beautiful plants just love their big leaves . Happy Anniversary 🥂
Thank you so much 😊💗
Happy anniversary 💚good Chianti🥂
Thank you so much ☺️
Happy Anniversary. I would have bought 2 of those planters. Florida always has such cute things that are oceany. I have a queen pothos that has done very well and recently did clippings so I can do another pot of her. Maybe you should two poles of her so you can always have a lush full pole going. I’m sure you can find room. Lol. Ps what state are you in. It looks warm
Thank you! I love browsing all the shops just to see what I can find! It's so much fun! lol always room for just one more plant, right?! 😂 I'm in Savannah, GA!
@@plantsbymelissa yes I bought 6 yesterday. Lol. My daughter lived in GA for a couple years. She worked for the CDC. Beautiful place
Happy anniversary!!🎉
Thank you so much!! ☺️
Happy Anniversary!! I'm in love with that cordyline I'm going to have to see if my Lowe's has one!! 😊
Thank you!! We have a different cordyline we planted out front a few months ago with a more pink and maroon color but the colors on this one are so so pretty!
Plantsbymelissa~ you shared professional trip. godspeed, )
Thank you!! We had a lot of fun there! Such a beautiful place! ☺️
Happy anniversary ❤ what better gift than great seedling 🌱 I have been growing orchids, Hoyas, succulents for over 20 years. I have always use 70 % Isopropyl Alcohol straight to the plant for mealies, hate those suckers. I just make sure the plant is not under sun or any grow lights. It works all the time! 💚💚💚
I was hoping the good guys would take care of them for me to save me the hassle of treating them myself 🙈 I'll see how it goes here! I ordered more lacewings from a local shop to be here next week!
Omg yes start a golden pothos on moss pole! I have a sport golden pothos and the leaves are sizing up beautiful. Have you gotten any teruno pothos?
I had no idea how much the golden looks like a monstera as it matures lol. I think that's way I love it so much! What's a teruno pothos!? I'll have to look that up!
❤❤❤
Happy Anniversary. You have certainly had some hot weather. I'm not looking forward to it coming to us.
Thank you so much! I'm definitely ready for it to cool some 💗
Elissa, how long would you leave a Alocasia stump before you give up on it. I had a Polly that almost immediately started dying when I got it. I kept the stump and watered it for 10 months before I gave up, and threw it away. It was before I heard of corms.
As long as it's not rotted I would move it over to stratum probably and put it in my cabinet to wake it up from dormancy. If it's not waking up with the light, warmth and humidity I might give up in a few months or if it was over winter then I would probably see if it does anything come spring then if not toss it :/
So Melissa the lacewings don't bother you in your house? Like not just in your plant room?
I don't think I had a fair experience with them :( I haven't seen any more adults hatch just the first couple of days. I have heard they can bite but I think I will order from a different place and try them out again. I really want them to work for me!
Good luck with them. .. I'm just not sure if I would like them in my living courters where I spend most of my time. What if they were crawling on you or something or in the kitchen when you're cooking. Lol
🙂

Hello Luna🐱🐱🐻
She has been very active and about lately! it makes me so happy 🥺
I’ve never heard of a ppp marble before but it sure looks like it could be.
There's so many names now! 😆 I never heard of it until recently!
I’m not sure if you saw it but on camera it looks like those anthuriums have webbing! Or maybe it was wrapped in fluff! Just wanted to point it out in case!
ah yes! It's the fluff from the polyfil 😆
Did you contact the go out d guys to let them know things aren’t
Hatching ?
not yet, I was giving them a few more days but I don't see anything at all with them just a few lives ones on the first day :(
Are they sending these bugs to you overnight mail? All other places I have seen besides natures good guys requires overnight shipping.
My anniversary was August 10.
36 years
What window is your monstera cuttings facing?
South! It's my favorite direction for light coming in 🥰
ive been trying moss poles, but I really suck at them. Each time I do it my plant dies.. idk what im doing wrong :/
I'm so sorry! 😔 Are you doing cuttings or a small established plant? Do they get enough light?
I could never have piles that tall I’m only 4’11 so I’d never reach the top. And I’ve go balance problems that would prevent me from using a ladder.
