You were gifted these amazing plants, so they were free and therefore you didn't violate your plant ban. Plant girl math 😂

[@ApatheticBlogger]

Telling this ilto my hubby asap

[@graceluke_]

This is exactly how it works!!

[@plantsbymelissa]

HAHA YES totally girl math! 😂

[@plantsbymelissa]

LOL

[@DoraTheExplora50]

🌹🌿🌹You're the best plant mom 🌿🌹🌿

[@plantsbymelissa]

I cannot believe these plants!! Aroid Market will make a discount voucher for anyone who wants to import from them. I'll update that soon! It's not commissioned or anything 🫶 aroidmarket.com The voucher code is: melissa20 It's valid for their online store 20% off your entire order with minimum purchase of $100

[@rebeccaparis6470]

I was crossing my fingers for a Monstera Burle Marx Flame. Beautiful plants! You are a lucky lady for sure!

[@plantsbymelissa]

haha right!! Next time!!

[@dora9368]

I like the tee they sent you😊

[@plantsbymelissa]

It's so cute!! I can't wait to wear it!

[@natashaoreilly7072]

That’s an anthurium Vittarifolium Variegata! It’s a pendant anthurium and super pretty 😍

[@plantsbymelissa]

oh cool! I will have to look into those. I'm not familiar with pendant anthuriums! Thank you!!

[@hiimkourtney]

@@plantsbymelissa It's very similar to the queen anthuriums when mature! supposed to be easier than them though. The other would be a type of bird's nest anthurium I think 😅

[@cannuck3577]

Yes I agree the birds nest type needs top lighting I've heard.

[@cherieholmquist7259]

Wow, You hit the jackpot with these beautiful plants!!❤🎉

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you!! I definitely feel so grateful to have these plants right now 🥺

[@solarwinds-]

I love the T-Shirt they sent you, I would totally wear that too! (after I washed it of course, lol). I think you are lovely and you chose a nice place to film your video but I would have gotten to the unboxing sooner and less about the emails. I love unboxings and that's why I stopped by. I was disappointed and wanted more reveal and less description about each one. It was very nice of the folks to send you all those plants. Hope you enjoy them for years to come.

[@plantsbymelissa]

It's not that hard to skip around! I make chapters for this reason :)

[@storyofmygreens9015]

Thats awesome ❤ congrats🎉

[@tammyvandiver7705]

Those are gorgeous melissa

[@edithfuntanilla6053]

You really very happy they are beautiful plants that shirt is also beautiful. I love monstera design.

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you so much! So incredibly happy with them all! The shirt is perfect for me haha 🥰

[@katyperx8676]

I just have this thing like I always check on you on IG and on YT and I always always check how long is the new video is. And after checking I was like oh wait 27mins or what, then I have to make my space a cozy one first and lay in bed before playing new video🥰 and I always hope that noone's gonna bother me as I am watching your video. Honestly! 💯❤ That's me!😉

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you Katy! 🥹🤗

[@aub_k2819]

That vittarifolium is awesome! Strappy leaves are my favorite 😍

[@plantsbymelissa]

I'm excited to have one!! I don't own a strappy one yet!

Yay a unboxing. I love these kind of videos 📷❤📷

Great new additions to your plants! that's incredible :)

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thanks! 😊

[@kyrad6543]

I'm not always a fan of anthuriums, but I do like that Jenmanii. It looks robust!

[@plantsbymelissa]

It's so unique! I don't have anything like it at all

[@carolstuff]

What gorgeous plants! Thanks for sharing the unboxing Melissa.

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thanks for watching!

[@Yesi.Planting]

That vittarivolium will grow like a pallidiflorum. It’s a long leaf plant :)

[@Joey11122]

That was what I was going to tell her

[@plantsbymelissa]

awesome!! Thank you!! I'm excited to own one!!

Awww I'm so happy for you getting so many beautiful new additions 😊

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you!! They're all so beautiful!! 🥹

[@redlady3123]

Bold using superthrive. I only use on non-variegated plants since I’m convinced it ‘fixes’ variegation. Good luck! What a beautiful haul! 💚 🌱

[@dora9368]

All the plants are so lovely 🌿🌱🍃

[@plantsbymelissa]

I feel so lucky!!

[@lisaanglim9588]

These are some fantastic plants. All are beautiful. I think the anthurium is my favorite. The long leaves get me.

[@stephanierene3537]

Oh my goodness another variegated Frydek. I have really been wanting one so bad but they are way out of my budget. You're so lucky. I would love to have that.

[@plantsbymelissa]

I know I have so many now 🙈 I will definitely be letting some go! I have about 5-6 corms I am starting to grow off my main one too so I will be selling those 🙏

[@stephanierene3537]

Going for the shirt before the plants 😆😆it’s super cute!

[@plantsbymelissa]

I love it!! It's perfect for me! lol

[@growingratitude-paulaf334]

Oh! Ty for posting this video so soon! These are such beautiful & healthy plants! I am so impressed they followed through after 6 months! That speaks volumes! I am anxious to see how they acclimate and thrive. I have an idea for a video. Explain & demo what spent nodes are and what to be sure of before cutting to propagate. I believe you have posted this quite a while ago, but a new one would be nice!

[@Chiaki-with-Umi]

Hi Melissa, they look gorgeous!! Thank you for unboxing with us and showing how to take care of them. I’ve never imported plants cuz was a but nervous. But maybe someday 😊 Hope they will grow very well under your care 🪴🌱 💚

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you!! I definitely get that! I was so nervous for my first time last summer but it went so well! I think once you get over the initial one you feel more confident!

[@leavesinwhite]

Beautiful new plants, you are so lucky 🌱💚 I have the green Vittarifolium, lovely pendant leaves

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you! 😊 I'm so excited to have one!!

Wow those are really beautiful variegated plants.. and as always love you video❤❤❤❤

haha it is very tempting!!

[@camilaalimac3744]

I just love philodendron micans and the variegated one is amazing! 😮

[@plantsbymelissa]

I'm already in love with it! I am imagining it growing up a moss pole like my other one!

[@davidreid8835]

Great looking plants, I especially liked the variegated pterodactyl I think that’s the first one I’ve seen. Congrats on the beautiful new additions to Plantmore Estate. Enjoyed the video a lot.

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you so much!! I'm so excited to rehab them and have them in my collection!

LOOOVEEE the shirt!!

[@plantsbymelissa]

It's perfect!!

[@tinabeall22]

Every plant is absolutely gorgeous wow! These are going to grow up to be stunning ✨ Also, I was hust introduced to the Monstera "Legacy" Variegated (it reminds me of your Mint Monstera but on steroids) and I had to tell you about it! Not sure if you've heard of it yet or not but it is totally worth looking at

[@sprkinles32]

OMG!!! I've been wanting a Jenmanii/Cobra forever, and now they have it variegated!!! Gamechanger

[@plantsbymelissa]

Never heard of it before! I feel so lucky to have them 🥺

[@Nsnsn4l]

I absolutely love your import unboxing videos!!!! great video melissa! :)

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you so much!!

[@sarahinthesun12]

That was so helpful! I’ve been wanting to import but too nervous. I’m glad you mentioned they shed their roots because that would have scared me lol. But I loved seeing each step you took with them.

[@plantsbymelissa]

Aw glad it was helpful! I went into a lot more details with my prior imports and took you through step by step what I did. I was nervous at first but since this is my third import I am a lot more confident with them. A lot of the root system sorta shocks but they'll grow new ones over the next several weeks and the plants start to perk up almost immediately. I can link my playlist here: kzbin.info/aero/PLYt1-9zY5oEw_a0dPUC6DwQcJD--YO8Yp&si=0MPCYGWKGpJIAoNi

[@cheesechaos]

@@plantsbymelissa Thanks for sharing! I don't think I've come across the idea of root shedding yet. I wonder if it could be worth doing a video on specifically root shock/shedding with your rehab treatment. It looks like you might cover it in that playlist, but I don't know that it'd be easy for people searching KZbin to track down when trying to figure out why roots might be falling off their plants. I'll definitely keep your import playlist in mind if I end up with a plant that's been stuck in the mail for a long time and the roots are having a rough time.

[@heathermc5557]

Sooo funnn! Love the Micans of course. Do the leaves have that velvet look and feel even if variegated? I gotta know 🤣😍Ohhh I just love them 💚

[@plantsbymelissa]

Yes!! Still velvety!! I'm already obsessed with it!!

[@marieskebasson442]

Love all the plants, like seriously, but your nail color is beautiful 😱

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you so much! I don't know the name/brand! It was a new salon I went to and I normally do them myself.

[@dora9368]

TFS Melissa 🌹💚🌹

[@dmears06]

Anggit! Love that man 😊

[@plantsbymelissa]

He was so nice when emailing back and forth!

[@adriaunnafossum1901]

Great haul! You mentioned having a monstera Peru before but it dying, it could be interesting to do a plant fail video where you talk about some plants that have passed in your care and what happened

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you! Most of the plant fails recently was due to a soil I was using last summer that was breaking down and staying too moist which deprived the roots of oxygen and caused root rot earlier this year. I definitely don't want to talk about them anymore 🥲 My var Peru was potted into it 😩

[@jennifersilva7434]

The variegated micans 🤩

[@plantsbymelissa]

It's so pretty!! 🤩

[@Laura-Ransan]

omg the Micans!!!

[@plantsbymelissa]

I know!! 😭

[@LkRn09]

Wow that micans is beautiful I really hope it continues to push variegated grows big for you! What color lipstick are you wearing? It’s beautiful! ❤😊

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you!! The lipstick is old haha but it's a great color. It's by Mac called velvet teddy!

[@LeafyConversations]

Thank you so much for showing us how you wash your plants and rehabbing. Do you do this for all your mail order plants or only imports?

[@thelioness3305]

Beautiful! Can I make a suggestion: Use filtered water. That tap water if like our is full of junk. It will hurt the roots terrible. I almost killed a plant.

[@plantsbymelissa]

Never had a problem with tap with my other imports I've done. I use filtered for my plants though :)

[@andyandbee]

These are UNBELIEVABLE!!! My husband just got me my first expensive plant today... A baby Thai Constellation!!! So excited!!! My 1 year of being into plants gift. *Any tips are very welcome lol* 💚🪴🌿

[@plantsbymelissa]

Congratulations! That's so exciting!! 🥰 I would give it the best light you can and they like to be a little root bound so I wouldn't repot right away and water mostly dry. If the soil sits too wet the roots will be deprived of oxygen so they can rot easily. Mine came back from rot so you can treat it! 🫶

[@andyandbee]

@@plantsbymelissa thanks so much 💚🪴🌵 I will repot it ASAP

[@AnaC17]

I love your hair in this video!

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you!! 🥹

How lucky!! If you decide you do not want that frydek I would be interested in getting it from you No shipping required 😁😉❤

[@plantsbymelissa]

I know I feel so lucky to have them! Thank you! I'll see how it imports and I will also have several corms of my other extremely variegated one too once they sprout ☺️

Beautiful plants. They maybe a new company and it took them longer to get going

[@carolinebaines8735]

Dry cleaner bags work well for large imports. Just call around and you'll find a dry cleaner who will sell you a few.

[@JoseRamirez-bi6xf]

These are some beautiful plants! Can’t wait to see them grow under your care 🪴✨

[@plantsbymelissa]

USA :)

[@yvonnevigil7489]

Melissa , what a beautiful variety of plants. Love that big Mama plant looks nothing like any plant. Need some help on a hoya. If I over watered it and it's turning light green and a yellow leaf so far. What should I do. It's a Mathilde. Please help😔. Did I kill it

[@plantsbymelissa]

Hi thank you! Make sure it's in good light and give it some time before you water it again! You can always take a cutting to propagate just in case something happens to it 🥺

[@yvonnevigil7489]

Thank you dear. Is a marble queen a pothoa

[@kimmills7707]

💚🌱💚🌱💚

[@KellyNellas]

I didn’t notice, do you spray the roots with the soap also or just the leaves???

[@plantsbymelissa]

Mostly just the leaves but some of the soap was in the water so it's totally fine! It's very gentle! I let it sit for about 5 minutes and then I rinsed them :)

[@edmundcabalic4803]

Hi! What kind of soap you used for cleaning plants when you receive it from the seller? Please let me know. I learned a lot from you. Thank you very much

[@plantsbymelissa]

It's castile soap by Dr. Bronner's! You can get it online and a lot of local stores carry it. I got this big bottle at target lol but I can order it on amazon too.

[@edmundcabalic4803]

Thank you very much for your help! I am a beginner I don’t know much about how to care about plants I have a caramel marble variegated that is dying right now I don’t know how to revive it. I bought it here in California $500 one leaf. It was doing good for few months give 3 leaves and then it’s started to die I found out has rotten from over watering. Maybe you can help me to revive my plant

[@heehawcowboy5157]

Takes the certificates and puts them on the ground.... you do know they had to spend like $60 dollars on each plant to get certified ? it cost them like $360 dollars plus shipping to get you those plants so like $400 dollars. Hopefully you have bought from them in your past?

[@anashehsookezian4094]

These anthurium you received are referred to as “birds nest anthurium”. Very different from the velvet leaf ones

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you!!

[@Plantloverliana]

Where do you et Castile soap?

[@plantsbymelissa]

many local stores carry it or you can buy online or Amazon!

[@Purrfectfoliage]

I'm almost positive that they sent you a varigated anthurium vittarifolium. I think they accidentally hit the v on the keyboard instead of the f.

[@plantsbymelissa]

Haha yes! 😆

[@SamanthaJee]

This company has been awful to order from for me. Super long delays, dead plants, bad communication and dead plants

[@plantsbymelissa]

I definitely had a lack of communication for several months. My last import I received came with tons of pests so didn't have the best experience. It wasn't with this company though. I know these were gifted to me so actually paying to have plants imported would be a different scenario on whether I would take the chance with the long delay. I was really happy with the condition of them but I would still be hesitant. Sorry about your experience!

[@plantytotalkabout]

I love them they are so pretty girl! I’m so happy for you! 🪴Also I live in North Ga and I would love to know about the Importing process from someone like you who’s has actually done it and also a Georgia resident aswell! It it a whole ordeal for the permits or a simple process! Amazing video as always planty friend! 🫶🏼☺️

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you! The last import I did several months ago this summer I filmed everything and went into more details. They asked me to get an import permit and it wasn't too complicated. I found a video that walked me through how to do it and it was free! Here's my import playlist I have 9 videos! kzbin.info/aero/PLYt1-9zY5oEw_a0dPUC6DwQcJD--YO8Yp&si=m11u8xKV5ThsKg6p This video in the description will have permit info! kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3SYp4eKa82LjM0si=idtYYj0FbLChtDEf
