Plant Shopping at IKEA and the Plant Ranch Plus a Huge Haul! | Jacksonville FL Birthday Vlog 🪴🎈

I'm so excited to share this video with you and everything that I found! We started off the day going downtown to have breakfast then we drove to Jacksonville FL and stopped in IKEA first. They had so much plant stuff to look at! After that, I stopped in a plant shop called the Plant Ranch and showed you around. The third part of the video is a huge haul of everything that I got! I hope you enjoy! 🫶

That cabinet though 😍 Melissa you have no idea how much joy you bring me. I’ve had such a stressful week and I’m now feeling ill. I’ve come to bed early to watch this, you’re like my comfort KZbinr 😅 I don’t know how you do it but you just make life a little less stressy 😊🪴💜

[@plantsbymelissa]

I'm so very sorry you've had a stressful week and that you're feeling sick 🥹 I appreciate you saying that so much 🥺 it's comments like this that motivate me to keep posting videos and I am truly grateful 🙏 I hope whatever you're coming down with passes soon and that you feel better! ❤️‍🩹

[@tracyquartermansellsGAandSC]

I concur @littlecally! Her videos are so comforting!

[@dora9368]

Awwww hubby did good on the sign. I really really really like it a lot, and the airplant you got is wonderful. I have two of them, but they are not that big; not even close. Fun video, I certainly enjoyed. I like vlogs and hope you'll consider doing more of them.🥰👍🙂

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you! I want to do more vlogs and explore more plant shops or maybe to a vlog for the week or day in the life - something like that! 🥰

[@LkRn09]

Can’t wait to see you build and fill your new cabinet. You look so happy 😊❤

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you!! I probably won't build it for a little bit yet but I did figure out where to put it! 🥰

[@Magneticgarden]

I live 15 minutes away from Ikea and never go. I need to go check out their plant selection. Happy birthday Melissa 🎉🎉

[@plantsbymelissa]

what?!?! oh definitely check out the plant stuff! Soo many cute things! I would be in TROUBLE if I lived that close to one haha. Thank you!! 🥰

[@evelynmartinez2475]

Hey there, Melissa! Late Happy Birthday!!🎉 I love ikea. I live 45 minutes from one. I have the greenhouse, and you do have to seal it. It's super cute . I get a lot of compliments on it. I'm sure you'll make it look gorgeous. Love the sign!! I'm happy you enjoyed your birthday!!😊 Til next time.

My daughter lives near that Ikea and she got me the large Akerbar for Christmas. They didn’t have white in stock but I’m happy with the black one. I weathered stripped it and the humidity soars into the 90s some days. I try and get up there as much as I can. I’m about 90 minutes south. Happy Belated Birthday! Great haul! 🪴

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you!! I'm excited for it! The black one was so impressive in the store how they had it set up! I'll definitely go back sometime here it was a lot of fun to browse around 🥰

I have both sizes of the green house & since the larger on doesn’t come in white I spray painted it gold to match the aesthetics of my home. Happy birthday.

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you!! 🥰 I honestly thought the larger one came in white lol but still very happy with the smaller version! I'm excited to set it up! The gold would be soo pretty!!

[@toya1love]

@@plantsbymelissa the greenhouse will definitely look good on the stand you bought. I have mine on the SATSUMAS (the one that costed $79. I paid $49 for it in ‘21). IKEA plant accessories have definitely jump in price but the ceramic is so good & heavy plus you can get multiples. Unlike TJMAXX/Marshalls.

[@tatianabaeva8755]

Happy Birthday, Melissa! Thank you for the video, love your content. Back when we were living in Georgia, we would go to IKEA in Atlanta so I totally get what you are saying about the traffic. Would take us around 3 h to get there... Love to see familiar views of Savannah and all of the plants you are showing. We live in Idaho now and don't have 5% of what you have in Lowe's. But it's okay, online shopping can help :)

[@karenmyers9146]

Congratulations on your birthday. I love the terrarium. You just about drive past my house to get to ikea. I have driven past it once but never been inside. Great haul.

The Plant Ranch had some great plants. In particular I noticed an incredible Madagascar Palm that you walked by. I have 2 nice Madagascar Palms but that may have been the most spectacular one I’ve ever seen. One of my favorite plants. I’ll be traveling to Amelia Island in March and may have to make an excursion to the Plant Ranch. Fun video, thanks.

[@plantsbymelissa]

I was blown away with the amount of plants in that section! I may have not noticed them! I'm curious how their selection will be in the warmer months. I'll definitely make the drive to see what they have. It was one of the first shops that popped up in my search so decided to check them out and glad I went!! 🫶

[@davidreid8835]

@@plantsbymelissa the Madagascar Palm that caught my eye is at about 23:20 or so of the video. It is on the floor. One of mine is about that height but the foliage of this one’s crown is far more lush . I’m envious but I’ll see what future growth brings. They look like a cactus but are actually a succulent. Easy to care for and they have a great deal of aesthetic appeal for me.

I hear that! I am on a spending ban for a while. No plants or anything else.

[@assimpleasgravity]

I love this video, nice an chill. Funny enough I have all of my water props in those cheaper Ikea vases, it ends up looking like table decor. I've also been debating on getting a cabinet or the small green house for some of my plants so it'll help seeing what you bought and how you'll fill them both down the road. Happy belated birthday, Melissa! 🎂
