[@kyrad6543]

The amount of care you put into the plants is so evident in this video. The way you spotted problems with that anthurium and didn't want to just pass that along to a buyer is commendable!

[@plantlifelex]

Aww thank you so much! It’s always best to do the right thing than make a quick dollar!

[@carolstuff]

[@plantlifelex]

I would put measurements/ruler on the back ground of you photos and then customers could see the size without you having to explain how big it is. That wouldn't work if using a prop but may for many. Love the care you take with the plants

[@plantlifelex]

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll have to look into a ruler or a prop for size reference!

[@albertr.2576]

I really enjoy watching the care you put into your brand. Also, you sharing how shipping works and how much it costs helps explain plant prices. I’ve had multiple experiences where the plants died because they didn’t check the roots and health of the plants. I’ve also have received some pretty beat up plants with shredded leaves. These shops I’m talking about definitely didn’t change the soil or much less clean the leaves. Thank you for sharing your process. 😊

[@plantlifelex]

Hi Albert! Thank you so much for this comment! I care a lot about the quality of the products I’m selling and want everything to be perfect for the customer. Some things are unavoidable but I do try to prevent as many issues with the plants as possible beforehand. I love to break down the process and costs because it does definitely put things into perspective as a consumer! ❤ Thank you for watching!!

[@RayaCeleste]

I swear that I am getting something this time!! I'm logging on right now and I'm going to wait for the go live because I miss out every time on the plant I want because I forget..😂

[@plantlifelex]

Hahah aww! Yeah everything is up and available now! ❤ thank you for always being here supporting ! 🫶🏾🪴

[@RayaCeleste]

@@plantlifelex I did it! I finally got an order in! I got one of those beautiful snow drifts, the Hoya, and the variegated monstera lech... I am beyond excited that it finally all came together ..and on pay day! 😍.. Oh I just realized that PayPal has the option for paying in 4 with no interest as well. I might be going back on..😂

[@plantlifelex]

[@kimberlycakes299]

I bought two Hoyas and some misc items today. The lechleriana and the anthurium vittarifolium are calling my name though.

Hey PLL! Do you think you will ever sell a hanging version of your clear plastic pots?

[@plantlifelex]

Hey Julie! It’s been on my mind for sure it’s just impossible to find matching plant hangers lol. The pots have a decent size lip on the edges that a standard plastic hanger does attach to it securely! As for color match it just isn’t a thing which sucks. I think white would work though but would have to look more into it 😅

[@planttherapy1860]

Hi Lex! I just put a late birthday order for myself! I'm so excited for these two wishlist plants! 😂

[@plantlifelex]

Aww Mona happy birthday!!! Yay! Thank you for your order I’m excited to pack it up for you 🎉!

[@HollyMontyMajor]

470 dollars shipping? Gulp! 😂

[@plantlifelex]

Hahah yes business shipping costs are much more expensive than a lot of people think 😂
