The audio sounds good to me! Love your videos and can't wait for the website.

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you! I've been trying to make adjustments and I like the settings right now so good to know that it sounds well :) I'll definitely share once it's up and running! 🥰

[@lisaanglim9588]

That squirrel is teasing the cats. Lol 😂

[@lisaanglim9588]

Do what Kevin does. He counts 1, 2, 3 cut and he cuts it. Works well when you aren’t sure about cutting.

[@MsChiguita]

Your videos helps me getting through my depression.. so thank u for being you 🙏🪴

[@plantsbymelissa]

I'm so sorry 🥺🫶 Thank you for being here and for watching and that means so much to me!

[@WitchyHocusPocus]

your sound and videos are great Melissa. I can always hear you perfectly and clearly.

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you so much!! 💚☺️

[@cerrenmccormack6218]

It's just hit spring here in Australia and have so many reports to do, and instead of starting that, I've just got home from buying 2 more plants. I love your videos ❤️

[@newleafvibes]

So excited for spring here in Melbourne!!! It's cold right now but Tuesday onwards looks beautiful

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you so much! haha it's hard to get motivated to repot when there is so much to do at once! It feels overwhelming so I delay things and buying more plants too haha.

[@whitleylovelace286]

Im on night shift at the hospital and on my lunch break now watching your video!! Lol it is a struggle to have a regular schedule. Thank you so much for your content though. It is so helpful to see your process and decisions in repotting!! Can’t wait for the website!!

[@plantsbymelissa]

aw I hope you had a good shift! I miss those days sometimes 🥲 I appreciate it!!

[@sarahinthesun12]

Hi there! I’m a software developer. There are always students that want to build for you for a really low cost. I did it when I was learning. Then I was able to use those websites in my portfolio so it was a win for both parties!

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thanks for sharing! I'll see how it goes here. If I can't seem to get it up and running by myself I will look into that! 🥰

[@lisaanglim9588]

I like white pots too.

[@ConnieP92]

Another pot up with Melissa....yaaaaay! And you always have such relaxing music too👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you so much!! ☺️

[@joannanovara815]

My impression is that when hoya names have a color at the end it refers to the bloom color

[@plantsbymelissa]

oh cool! I didn't know that :)

[@joanneklaus9242]

Great audio, it sounds like we’re in the same room.😊 The mic gets a 👍🏻

[@plantsbymelissa]

Yay, thank you!

[@GuadalupeRodriguez-dp7ht]

Your audio sounds good. I have watched your older videos, the use of microphone is a great improvement. So excited for your online shop. You have beautiful plants. 😊

[@plantsbymelissa]

Awesome! Thank you so much!!

[@charnelleskipp8934]

The adansonii aurea is so much prettier to me than the albo. I love your videos. Greetings from Stellenbosch South Africa

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you!! 🫶

[@user-hi5rk7eg2g]

audio sound amazing! :) the first thing I thinked when you said welcome :)

[@plantsbymelissa]

Yay, thank you! 🥰

[@joannanovara815]

Tortum was my number one wishlist plant for a long time. I've now had two(I combined them together)for over a year and it remains in my top 5 favorites 😊. The new leaves are the coolest!

[@plantsbymelissa]

Good to know it's a favorite!! I think once it grows a bit more I have a feeling it will be a top too for me lol

[@sylviagutierrez7676]

They are very cute new plants ,💗 💚🌱🌵☘️💚

[@Rayasratchetplants]

I actually have a beautiful tortum that has leaves that size, and found what I thought was a very mature one last weekend so I purchased it at a great discount. Then I found out the one that I thought was “mature" was actually called a wide form. The leaves are physically about the same length, and the actual leaf tissue areas are wider/thicker. I had no idea!

[@plantsbymelissa]

oh thanks for sharing! I didn't know there's different forms! so cool :)

[@carolstuff]

There’re getting big; thanks for sharing the update.

[@andyandbee]

Yay! I adore these chill repotting videos 💚🪴🌿

[@plantsbymelissa]

Glad you like them! :)

[@rebeccaparis6470]

I'm so excited for your website!! I can't wait!!

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you so much :) me too! I wished I started a little sooner but happy I am in the process now and excited to have it up and running!

[@WendyP1965]

Love your vids Melissa!

[@lisaanglim9588]

Can’t wait to see your plant website. I’ll certainly look it up. And you have my plant problems too. Finding some place to put new plants. I can’t pay them Out now the temp at night is down to 40-50’s. Going to have to ask for a heat pack. But I’m putting myself on a plant ban till I some how find a new place to put new plants in.

[@kylieemorrison7824]

i cant wait for the shop to be up

[@alicelarez4311]

Also I can't wait for your shop,anything grown by you would be a treat.I love your videos and the knowledge you share.But really I just love spending time with you planty or not planty content.

[@plantsbymelissa]

I appreciate that! 🥺🫶

[@claudiaarbona9984]

I like this style of repotting video, and I also like the idea of a Q&A video! Your plants all look so great! 🤩🪴 I think the audio sounds really good, I can turn it up & it’s loud & clear! I love to watch your videos while also doing plant chores 😊

[@plantsbymelissa]

Yay, thank you!! I appreciate it and thank you for being here and watching ☺️

[@SweetbutSassy]

How exciting!!! I can't wait for your online shop! Your audio is fine.

[@plantsbymelissa]

Yay! Thank you so much!!

[@peggyelliottedens8132]

Hello Melissa and kitties. I also have a tortum. I love their shape. Your volume is fine and your voice is so relaxing. Have a good day.

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you!! I appreciate it :)

[@monsthoya]

So much pretty plants🌱! I may have gotten a wishlist plant today but this video is making me inspired to buy more🫣!

[@plantsbymelissa]

haha what's one more plant, right?! 😜

[@kristathompson9888]

I have a tiny baby Tortum but I still love it! Hopefully your plants thrive for you 💚💚💚

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you so much!! 🥰

[@katyperx8676]

Still given justice for those not-so-love plants💯, i know! Haha They'd be growing more beautiful after the repot for sure!💯 And that glimpse of hoya red on trellis is so stinkin' cute!🤤 Thanks for this long video, I hope there's more ahead.😊

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you so much!! 🥰

[@Zen.....]

sound is good on this vid. when i got my tortum, it was a baby plant in a 5inch pot, ngl was worried I'd kill it. Its doing well tho, and grew into the pot, the leaves are growing huge.

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you! :) I'm glad your tortum is doing well!

And you already have 34k in followers since quittin 🎉🎉🎉 That’s awesome! I too was always a night owl from bartending my whole life. Staying up til 330 am was the norm for me. I love the nights tho…..so quiet and peaceful 😂

[@plantsbymelissa]

I still can't believe it! 🥹 I feel like it has gone by soo fast! Yes! I love how quiet it is at night haha. It's so peaceful! I feel like there's less distractions too so I can usually focus more on things :)

[@renatecormick7399]

Hi Melissa, I see some KZbinrs advertising square space to create and manage their own websites. I have no idea of the coast but it’s worth checking it out. Good luck!

[@dinacisneros8616]

I cant wait for your store! I definitely will be a customer 😊

[@plantsbymelissa]

Yay! Thank you! ☺️

[@brooklin_bernek]

I’m so ready for your store girl!!!! I have to get my hands on one of your aurea cuttings! I’d never thought I would ever have the chance! This is going to be so cool to be growing a baby from your mama (of course if I’m lucky enough to snag one lol) this video was so chill and the perfect way to end a busy first full week of school for all my kiddos ❤❤❤

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you Brooklin 🥰 I will have some aurea cuttings soonish!

[@brooklin_bernek]

@@plantsbymelissa yay I’m keeping eyes peeled I hope I don’t miss it girl ❤️❤️❤️

[@darlenegriffith5625]

Sound is perfect.

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you!! 🥰

[@lisaanglim9588]

Great video.

[@lisaanglim9588]

I’m a former nightshift person and I stayed up till 5 am the other night. I do this on occasion.

[@paigesofmakeup8573]

So excited for your website! I’d love to purchase from you!

[@plantsbymelissa]

Yay! Thank you!

[@storyofmygreens9015]

Woah❤ you really played around camera settings, and guess what it is amazing ❤

[@plantsbymelissa]

Ahh thank you for noticing!! 🥳 You're awesome! I've been messing around with a little of both camera and audio for several days. I still have lots to learn but putting it on hold for now while I focus on website stuff. Glad it's better!! ☺️

[@alicelarez4311]

Your audio sounds good and it's just like watching a t.v. show.

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you so much! ☺️

[@Randomplantycontent]

Audio is great!

[@naturelover..2023]

Beautiful 😍

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you! 😊

[@thelioness3305]

PS. GReat audio. You sound fine on my end. I love your calming voice. lol. Sometimes I go on a bindge watching your videos. I do a lot of late nights as well. Wish you did more videos more frequently. More vidoes is what I am trying to say lol.

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you so much! 🥹 I really appreciate that! I try to do 3 uploads a week but editing is what takes me the longest. It depends on video length too of course and some just take longer regardless but definitely something I want to improve on!

[@MyLocsMyPlants]

ahhh I love the way tortums look I got one from etsy but it's so tiny I'm pretty sure I overwatered it 😂 I need a big one

[@plantsbymelissa]

oh no! I hope it'll be okay!

[@amylokers4942]

Your audio is good, you sound great 😃❤️

[@amylokers4942]

I can't wait for your website I'm so excited for you! I wish I knew how to design websites and stuff I would help you for Free

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you! you are so kind 🥺 I appreciate that :)

[@jackiebeckwith9058]

Hello, I enjoy your videos. Do you have a video or make one showing step by step how you create your soil potting mixture and the listed items used. Thank you.

[@plantsbymelissa]

I made one not too long ago for my normal DIY and for my moss pole mix. This new one I haven't shared a video yet on it because I am still playing around with the ingredients and seeing how it goes but once I do feel like I like it and it's working well then I will definitely share more!

[@yvonnevigil7489]

Hi , sound is great and looking forward to your shop knowing how much you care for plants. Questions: micorasen is this like super thrive?. Sorry about the spelling. And have you ever used liquid fertilizer and why do you use the time release, maybe the amount of plants you care for?. Thanks have a nice weekend

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you! superthive is like a multivitamin so it gives a little nutrient boost I mostly use after repotting to reduce shock. The mycorrhizae are beneficial fungi that can help the roots develop more and can allow the plant to uptake more nutrients. I use slow release because it's easier for me since I do have a lot of plants but would be open to trying a liquid out :)

[@TuoInside]

Very nice videos. What are you using for your site? Shopify would probably be the easiest and most straight forward. You should (in theory) be able to set something up pretty efficiently yourself. Adding and managing products along with selling is well organized.

[@plantsbymelissa]

I applied for an LLC through legal zoom so they were offering wix. Going to try and set up an online store through there and see how it goes!

[@lisaanglim9588]

Most mychoreze can be watered in.

[@cherieholmquist7259]

You sound great to me and im beginning to have some hearing issues 🤔😂

[@marymiller5824]

I think the audio has been perfect.

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you!! 🥰

[@thelioness3305]

I noticed you went back to Osmacote. I watched another video you did where you where trying out Dymo. How did that go? I asume not well?

[@plantsbymelissa]

I don't think I like it. I didn't notice much of a change and then I was dealing with so much root rot and fungal issues this summer that I just wanted to go back to osmocote haha. It did so well for me last summer. I bought some Cal mag to start using in addition but honestly forgot about it so I need to look into that. I know osmocote doesn't have Ca and one of the reasons I wanted to look into something else but I love using slow release.

[@BartekWoz]

Audio is still good

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you!! :)

[@od.vandeveer]

hoyas root on the whole stem, so why did you cut of the bare section on the undulata? It could have supported the bottom node

[@plantsbymelissa]

Yes, I know they root on the whole stem :) I didn't want a long stem to prop

[@lorizamory4507]

What about using Square space to help you design your site?

[@plantsbymelissa]

I applied for an LLC through legal zoom and they were offering wix so trying to set one up through there. I have heard of square space though :)

[@lisaanglim9588]

How cold does it really get there in Savannah. ?

[@plantsbymelissa]

We're in zone 8b so it can get way below freezing :)

[@newleafvibes]

Can't you just boil or bake the perlite to sterilise it?

[@plantsbymelissa]

this perlite is so inexpensive here and honestly not really wanting to take the time to try and sanitize it by baking. I'm not sure how well it would work :/

[@lisaanglim9588]

That Hoyaneedsxaxteellisxandxir will grow better.

[@finnster6582]

Do you have a Cat door onto your Patio?

[@plantsbymelissa]

We don't :) We leave the patio door slightly open so they can go in and out of it. It's all glass so I never thought about a cat door before 🤔 I wonder if something like that would work haha now I will be thinking about that.

[@eunoiaplanter]

My partner does web design and has experience with setting up online stores, etc. if you do decide you need help with your site 😊 I can ask him to reach out to you x

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you so much! That is so kind :) I'm going to see how it goes here with it but I really do appreciate it!!

[@lisaanglim9588]

Today I think the sound of your voice sounds gravelly. But it’s east to understand you.

[@tmczavala1]

Do you notice a difference when using mycorrhizal fungi? Does it cause root rot when sprinkling on the roots? @plantsbymelissa

[@plantsbymelissa]

It's definitely helped roots grow! I love using it. I haven't had any issues with rot with sprinkling it on vs in the soil :)

[@tmczavala1]

@@plantsbymelissa thank you 😊. Is there a brand you would recommend?

[@plantytotalkabout]

I’m so excited for you opening your own shop website! I’m in Ga also so shipping would not be far! Count me in! 🫶🏼☺️ Also loved the video as always!

[@plantsbymelissa]

Yay! Thank you!
