    I loved your video, I identified a lot with how often we don't have motivation, although we enjoy work, being a hobby that we love, it's not always easy to wake up and find motivation or a good mood. And your honesty and still managing to make the video to demonstrate your work was spectacular. thanks

    I'm much older than you and my life too is simple...just the way I like it! I spend my time with my "rescues" and my "plants".

    Love your videos and the content you show in them. Which program do you use to transfer your photos to your computer? You make it look so easy.

    • @queencitytropicals
      @queencitytropicals  Год назад

      Thank you so much! I don’t have to use a program to transfer them but I have a usb to usbc hub and then transfer them to an external hard drive and then edit in Final Cut Pro. Hopefully that is helpful for you, I know everyone has a little bit different setup for that

    What a great idea to show your weekly routine😊 I’m in the UK so I feel I can’t support your small business, but wish you all the success for your growing business… I I’m self find Etsy quite difficult to work out for selling, they advised me to do free shipping, but I’m a Potter and I have quite heavy pieces 😆

    • @queencitytropicals
      @queencitytropicals  2 года назад

      Hey no worries! Watching & commenting helps me out too and I appreciate it! Yes I would imagine pottery would be really challenging to ship! Especially affordably!

    I love plants. Thank you for sharing your process. New subscriber. Where do you buy the materials you use for shipment? Thanks.

    • @queencitytropicals
      @queencitytropicals  Год назад

      Thanks for watching! I usually get my shipping supplies from either Amazon or staples - I don’t like to buy huge quantities because I don’t have anywhere to store them so it is a bit more expensive that way but worth it to me because I can easily store it.

    Is the white stuff in your soil large chunk perlite? If so, that’s the biggest chunks I’ve ever seen. Such a busy girl. Love your videos.

    • @queencitytropicals
      @queencitytropicals  2 года назад

      It is perlite!! It’s massive lol. The plants really seem to enjoy it though. Thank you so much for watching! ❤️🪴

    Hi from Australia 👋
    I love your videos, i cant wait to get an outdoor greenhouse(hopefully next year 🤞), question...how come you dont just sell the plants in the sphagnum clear cups that you rooted them in?

    • @queencitytropicals
      @queencitytropicals  2 года назад +1

      Hello! Thanks for watching! The sphagnum moss thing is something I have thought about a lot! When I was doing some testing last spring for shipping all of the plants I sent out in soil did a lot better during shipping and acclimated more quickly once they arrived is the main reason. Also this winter in the greenhouse the plants in soil did much better than the ones I had in moss with more temperature variation. I have definitely considered just sending them out in moss though it would be a much quicker turnaround & cheaper so it is something to think about.

    Man I just followed your etsy. I guess the burle marx variegated sold already. 😔 Been trying to find a good one for weeks. Love your channel by the way. Very nice insight and tips!

    • @queencitytropicals

      Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it! The Variegated Burle Marx go so quick on there! FYI I will be listing some either this Wednesday or next, if you want to send me a message on there I can reserve one for you! :)

    Nice videos. Could you please share the light box Photography link?

    • @queencitytropicals
      @queencitytropicals  Год назад

      I'll link a similar one! I will say though that I no longer use that because it was too small to photograph slightly larger plants so I just got a couple of foam poster boards for about $5 and like that way better!
      But here is a link to the photography box!:

    What kind of cam do you have to make your videos and which software do you use to edit them

    • @queencitytropicals
      @queencitytropicals  Год назад

      I have a Sony ZV-E10 for the camera and I use Final Cut Pro to edit! Though I believe back when I made this I may have still been using iMovie. Thanks for watching!

    Do you water or spritz the propogation in the moss?

    • @queencitytropicals
      @queencitytropicals  Год назад

      I’ve actually switched to water prop completely for in the greenhouse but when I did use moss I would water it. It gets really hot and there’s a lot of air movement out there so it was hard to keep them at a good enough moisture level 🪴💦

    I bought plants from etsy and it hasn't arrived yet. It's coming from florida to toronto and it's almost 2 weeks in transit now. Is that normal?

    • @queencitytropicals
      @queencitytropicals  2 года назад

      I would recommend reaching out to the seller and checking the tracking to see if it is unusual. I know that extra documentation is required for plants when crossing a border so that could account for some of it. I personally can’t ship to Canada so I’m not sure how long it might take. I do hope you get your plants safe and sound though!
