    Watching this video, it dawned on me that plant parenthood should be in the Olympics. It could be organized like the decathlon with events like propagation, moss pole construction, leaf size, plant chopping, repotting, scientific name spelling contest and I could come up with more. You would be the overwhelming favorite to win gold. Melissa on the podium all teary eyed receiving her gold medal, what could be better! lol.

    Thank you for another perfect video. Guess what? Even though my acrylic Milsbo shelves are so scratched (and only 3 months old) (and I am picky) I have decided to order again and do the U shape (I think I can fit more on the shelf than the V) and also did circles. I like the prettier designs, but I think that the circles will be good for hanging lights and camouflaging the scratches. Anyway, I will let you know!! Also, I love my Mathilde super splash. It lost 11 leaves in shipping, but it is really healthy and didn't skip a beat. I highly suggest watching hakunalaplanta on RUclips. He shows how he was able to make the leaves more silver on the Mathilde. It was fascinating! Have a good day, Melissa. You are such a sweetheart!!

    Melissa, you are amazing. I have 100 plants which I love. I love everything about them, never think of caring for them as a chore, always plant care. I do not have a job outside of the home so I have plenty of time. I don’t know how you can care for all of them. Do you work outside of the home as well? Look forward to your next video, you have become my favorite. So many started out strong and now don’t post any longer, just disappear. I can see your character. If you decide to stop I am confident you will let us know why. Thankyou for that, and also I love your cats. I have a grey hound dog. Many blessings to you and your channel and your shop.

      Thank you!! I haven't moved the bigger one to stratum yet but probably will do it soon! It seems like it will be one that gets edema pretty easily. I think the best thing to help is letting it be a little more on the dry side. I'll probably end up leaving less water in the reservoir once I move it over to pon and try and check it often so that it doesn't go too dry if that makes sense.

      aw glad it hear it's doing well and so sorry about your marantas :( Do you use tap to water them or know if your water is more hard? I use a stress coat for aquariums in my water - it's about $8 on amazon and it removes chemicals. Marantas can be a little more sensitive to the chemicals and it can help with browning. I still get browning but it helps!
