[@eunoiaplanter]

Okay but this outside unboxing was such a vibe with the birds in the background. Seemed so cozy and natural I loved it 🥰

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@jannaschnell3716]

I love the green escape. I've gotten most of my collection from them. 🥰 They make it so affordable to get into collecting. ♥️

[@Sabrina-do9lx]

Same! I like starting from small plants too and watching them mature ❤ I’ve done a few orders from the green escape and I love my plants from them!

[@M0istS0il]

I have a question are most plants in their shop tc ?

[@bellalexi2085]

So good to see your happy face and the “WHAT?, that’s so beautiful and huge! “Holy cow!” “Why is it so big?” LOL. This is what birthdays should be. So happy for you! I wish you the happiest birthday, but I guess you already got it 😃.

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you so much!! 🥰

[@cannuck3577]

I love the song birds in the background of your unboxing... Here in 🇨🇦 Canada we are months from having those birds back again. 🐦 🐦‍⬛

[@plantsbymelissa]

I love hearing them too! ☺️🫶🏻

[@curlycdn8067]

100% agree!!! 🇨🇦

[@dora9368]

I love the sound of the birds singing❤🦜🕊️🐦

[@nitewarden]

I've had a pretty decent experience with The Green Escape so far. The plants I've received from them have been in good health. Some minor shipping damage on the more "bladey" shaped leaves like my Dark Lord but it's a healthy plant. They're all doing well!

[@indygwyn]

My favorite thing now is the hard “Melissa Stare” through the plastic before the unwrapping

[@dora9368]

I know right...that was the greatest, and I can't say I blame her. I'm dealing with thrips right now

[@plantsbymelissa]

I'm so sorry Dora 😞

[@DavidMoralesPlants]

Girllll I’ve been wanting to order from them cause the prices be so good and the selection of plants they have is amazing! Bonus that they are small so they can fit anywhere lol and watch them grow. 💚

[@plantsbymelissa]

Yes!! They had so many plants available 😂🫶🏻

[@tessie7e777]

I’ve had excellent luck with them, as well. And twice I’ve ordered and then needed to ask them to hold shipping and they had absolutely zero problems with that. Truly excellent customer service.

[@monas.6839]

I’ve always had a perfect experience with Green Escape as well…do it! You’ll be so glad you did!

[@leavesinwhite]

That was a lovely unboxing Melissa 💚🌱 I have my Ping on a mix of moss, pon and soil and give it rainwater

[@lisaanglim9588]

The green and scape really wraps the plants up very well.

[@andreiasantos7656]

I love these types of videos.😍 Your videos always make me happy. 🥰I have pinguiculas and they are very easy to take care of. The care I take with them is: -I always water from below, I put water on a plate and leave it. - Distilled or rainwater and I never fertilize (carnivores should not be fertilized). -I leave them on the windowsill (facing southwest). Mine have already bloomed and it was so beautiful. Furthermore, they catch all the fungus gnats.

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you SO much!! That's so helpful!! 🥰

[@LkRn09]

They said “oh shiz she does KZbin send her the best ones for advertising” 😅

[@plantsbymelissa]

I actually don't order as plantsbymelissa because I don't want special treatment.

[@tracyquartermansellsGAandSC]

I was star struck this evening! It was awesome to see my favorite KZbinr!!!!!!!!! I love your videos! Always very informative and you’re such a beautiful human being!!!!! Thanks for bringing the best planty content EVERRRRRRR!!!!!!

[@dora9368]

What a nice comment... I'm with you Melissa is the best, a beautiful rare gem💎❤😊

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you so much tracy!! It was so nice to meet you!! You made my night! 🥹🫶

[@synivy4576]

There’s nothing like being outside in the Savannah weather hearing the song birds we’re literally so lucky we still have so much wildlife, as a conservationist it makes me happy :)

[@angelicagary1064]

So excited for you. I just placed an order with them for the first time so that's super encouraging. Can't wait to see how they do.

[@plantsbymelissa]

Aww yay!! That’s so exciting!! I hope you have the best plant mail!! 💕

[@deannamyers8190]

I have a huge Alocasia Platinum. They are striking! So, so happy that you are happy, again, after the thrip episode!💜

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you!!

[@carladurbin5706]

Love love love you finally got a good unboxing! I love those plants and can't wait to see the follow up!!!

[@andreasobsession4650]

I’m so happy you got what you wanted ❤❤❤ seeing you smile is sooo nice . Enjoy your new babies.

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@susycoronel2398]

That gigas is BEAUTIFUL. It’s one I have in my plant wishlist. Definitely will be ordering from TheGreenEscape come spring! So many great plants to choose from! Great haul!!

[@lalasgarden23]

Yay redeemed! Those are big and beautiful! I’ve ordered from there and will again for sure! ❤

[@preteyes]

I shop from Green Escape and have had nothing but positive experiences.

[@Eyvls]

So glad you had a good experience. I’m traumatized with you from that one plant mail. 💜

[@susanhebert1724]

Beautiful plants. I have ordered from them before and plan to make another purchase in the future. I was very happy with their customer service and the way the plants were packaged. Just a great experience.

[@LeafyConversations]

They are gorgeous plants! The Alocasia is my favorite I think. I am happy all were pest free!

[@yvonnevigil7489]

This was a great plant mail day for you and us. So happy. Have a great day

[@AnitaDay-ne3zr]

I'm so happy that you're happy with your 🪴plants package 📦 ❤👍

[@noelle7714]

They are all so pretty. Glad they are all ok.

[@kristathompson9888]

Beautiful plants! I would love to add some Pings to my collection 💚

[@1101naomi]

Yay! A much better unwrapping as you carefully inspect for pests. Lol

[@rebeccahenderson7761]

Kitties are the best! :) And wow! That's so bizarre they taped the leaves! 17:40

[@nelsonporter8387]

Another great video Melissa!!! ❤️

[@heatherbocks]

Finally a good one! 🎉 I’ve been wanting a gigas! They are like a micans on steroids/ a more chill seeming melano. So gorgeous. I believe Fern (@wildfern) has said that pings don’t ship well but bounce back quickly. So hopefully that little dude will be doing great soon.

[@lisaanglim9588]

Yes I see the purple center. And the purple borders it’s really pretty

[@teresalynnturner781]

That's my favorite plant shop! I just got a big Alocasia order from them. I've always gotten perfect plants from them and they all thrived perfectly!

[@katerinamudrova7928]

Beautiful plants but the silver blush looks like a regural crystalinum to me, at least mine was much more silvery as a baby plant. Also dont worry about the pinguicula's leaves, it will grow new ones that will cover them in no time. I grow mine in a sphagnum+soil mix (anything with higher water retension), the most important thing is not to overfertilize. Carnivorous plants naturally live in very nutrient poor soil, that's why they became carnivorous in the first place 😊

[@puddsmax863]

Just ordered from the green escape on Friday and it shipped today! Very excited for my plant mail 😊

[@paubel58]

what a great haul! can't wait to see you size up that gigas!!

[@plantsbymelissa]

I can’t wait!! I know I will love those bigger leaves 😻

[@Yoliplanting]

Those are fantastic! 💚💚🌸

[@carineds]

Glad see you happy grtzzz 🤩

[@dora9368]

Melissa I live all four of the plants 🌿🌼💦👍 you got! The lil baby one is so cute 😊 poor thing is got all squished 😮 can't wait to see their growth.

[@ConnieP92]

Lovely plants Melissa...love the Bisma especially! It was relieving to see that you got healthy specimens and a decent size too👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼I look forward to the update vid on these, particularly the Ping. It looks so pretty with the pink tinge on the leaves. Happy nurturing 😻

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you Connie!!

[@katie77r]

So good to see a healthy, beautiful plant haul and your sweet, happy face 😊 Happy birthday Melissa, have a great day! 🎉🪷💖

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you so much Katie! I appreciate it!! 🥰

[@VictoriaPelarenosart]

I got pings from them and they are all thriving! Take it out of the plug gently and transfer to moss. They like to be sitting in a little water constantly so I have them in a little sauce bowl from ikea. Distilled water only!

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you!!

[@carolstuff]

Beautiful plants!

[@livingnatural3225]

Great Haul!!! I especially love the Alocasia :-)

[@hilltopgemini9200]

Glad your plant mail was a success!! 💥

[@plantsbymelissa]

Me too! 😂🫶

[@aflanagan13]

I miiiiiightt have to order that alocasia!!! Omg I love it 😻

[@charlottesasser7026]

I have a ping and I’m so bad with carnivorous plants, but the ping has been okay for me! I have heard Fern say that the pink comes with sun stressing! I haven’t experimented with this, so can’t confirm from experience.

[@plantsbymelissa]

a few others here said that about the pink! I'll have to sunstress it!

[@the_little_potager]

That alocasia is gorgeous! 💚💜

[@lindalester3642]

Love all the plants

[@Plantloverliana]

Great video Melissa❤. Love the plants and Luna . I hope you have a very happy birthday! 🎉🎊🎉❤️

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you so much!! 🥰💖

[@GardenWitchStudio]

I love the Bisma Platinum. That's a good size too for GreenEscape especially for that price. They can be finicky and prone to rot, but mine is loving pon. I've been looking at a few more of their plants as well. I'm in New England though so trying to wait until temperatures are back above freezing. It's not easy, I'm so impatient. 😂

[@justinamontgomery2618]

Such beauties! Awsome picks.....great video thank you

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thanks for watching! 💕

[@brujalinda]

I love the green escape I order from there twice a month I’m addict 😊 ❤ they never disappoint me and if any damage which is very rare they will refund with out any problems ❤

[@edwardtafoya4779]

It's so nice to see your smile again. I love your new plants. I acquired an alocasia awhile back. Your new one is so cute

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@kimkelly4520]

I have been ordering from them getting the small pulls. My dreams get to come true in small delicious bites 🥰. It’s nice to see you happy with your purchases 🎉 that ping is everything 💯‼️

[@littleheaven70]

I grow my pings in a mix of chopped sphagnum, perlite, vermiculite, and silica sand, and keep a little distilled water in the bottom of their cover pots. High light will encourage the pink leaves.

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you so much!! I appreciate it 💗

[@lisaanglim9588]

Ah the anticipation !!

[@Tina-wi7we]

Beautiful beautiful plants! 🌿💚 Happy birthday, Melissa 🎉 my brother has the same birthday as you.

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you so much! 🥹💕

[@Digitspice]

Wow! Beautiful alocasia. 😊

[@plantsbymelissa]

It’s so beautiful!! 🤩

[@dora9368]

Hello pretty Luna...nice to see you girl ❤🐈

[@aure-anneb6944]

From what I know pings can get more colour with a lot of light, but not all varieties do though (straight green ones don't get "sunstressed" this way). Also mine have been going dormant since the beginning of winter (colder temp and less light will do that), so they produces smaller leaves in a "rosette" shape. They should start growing bigger leaves more quickly in the spring and summer. What's great with pings is that even if they don't have roots, you just lay them on top of some moss or light soil and they will root very easily. Just make sure to keep the substrate moist at all times. Personnally I use rain water or sometimes tap water and they're doing fine. Take care!

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you!!

[@desertflower9557]

Lovely, I'm happy for you!

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you so much 😀

[@kyrad6543]

The anthurium foliage is huge for such a small plug! That's awesome.

[@Plantasy98]

I just got a big order in from them this week too!

[@psycheready6958]

I just got my first ping, too! I don't have any advice yet, but I'm excited! I do know that the pink color comes from sun/light stress.

[@sasharandomly4221]

Glad it's better this time. I actually really like green escape. Good prices and quality plants.

[@sylviagutierrez7676]

All these are beautiful and in great condition👍 💚🌱🌵☘️💚

[@plantsbymelissa]

I was impressed with them!

[@KC-gj4bi]

Fun 🤩 I just ordered from them as well at the beginning of January. I had ordered a anthurium red gunsal but they emailed me that they were sold out so I went with the forgetii. I can’t wait for this order 7 mostly anthuriums and a Philo Columbia

[@plantsbymelissa]

Oh wow!! That will be a fun plant mail package to open!! 😻

[@bloomolina]

Next month I am going to order from this shop.. 😍

[@lisaanglim9588]

It’s really beautiful.

[@MrsLyfa]

i have bought from them also and love it !!!!!!!!

[@RootedInspirationsByVee]

I received 4 new plants from The Green Escape this week and I was super excited!!! They are my favorite Etsy plant shop!! 😊

[@plantsbymelissa]

Aw yay!! Congrats on your new plant babies!! 🥰🫶🏻

[@rickey698]

Pings will do great in sphagnum moss, peat+perlite, on large pumice or larva rocks. Need bright light and rain or distilled water only. They will take care of gnats in no time.

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you! I appreciate it!!

[@kspence5300]

The log. lol

[@lisaanglim9588]

That one is surprising how big it is. Maybe as the leaves enlarge the venation will enlarge.

[@sjsosokdksksk]

I had stuff in my cart from them today and was about to click buy but got scared omg. U won me over

[@AnitaDay-ne3zr]

Lol, you aren't the only one who has been buying plants. Me too!! 😅. Lol, I spend almost 200. I got 4 already, and I'm still waiting on the other two to arrive . I got a mermaid cactus. Then gosh, Cactus. & a boobie Cactus. Then jacklyn alocasia . The one that has not arrived yet is the pink marble princess & El choco. Red. 😅. So yeah, no more for a while. But it is so much fun . 😅.❤👍

[@plantsbymelissa]

haha yes! It's so fun to get new ones!!

[@AnitaDay-ne3zr]

@plantsbymelissa But I'm the same as you. I'm having problems with some of my orders, too. My pink princess still hasn't arrived yet. Even though I ordered 2 plus heat packs, you never know about other people with plants these days. I guess I gotta start reading their testimonials. Ugh. Doesn't take a month or 3 weeks to ship plants if it is in state. But others are find. I might have to report if I don't get it by next week. I don't play around. it comes with plants, lol

[@BoojiePanda]

Hi Melissa! Keep a close eye on the Bisma if you put it in Pon, mine hated it even in the cabinet. I struggled with it for about a year before finally moving it to soil, she's doing so much better. Hopefully you have better luck with yours... I much prefer Alocasia in semi hydro. I also got mine from TGE (love them!). Thank you for sharing your new beauties!

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thanks for letting me know! 🙏

[@idwtbkabbam]

It's crazy to me that some people casually see alligators in their back yard. If I ever saw one in the wild I'd never shut up about it lol. Anyways, beautiful plants!

[@plantsbymelissa]

haha we were nervous about them at first! They usually don't come up out of the water but I just avoid getting super close down there.

[@JuanellHopper]

I've never gotten anything from green escape that had bugs on it. Love their baby plants. I didn't even know they sold pinguiculas

[@charlottearcana226]

I loved to see all the amazing plants!! And about the ping, they never really ship well but yours definitely looks great, they also love a boggy environment and from my experience they always bounce back :)

[@plantsbymelissa]

appreciate it!!

[@lisaanglim9588]

She’s so helpful! Lol 😂

[@zandrawostel5868]

I love Green Escape plants. I've never had an issue. I've had four pings and killed them all so I don't know the secret to keeping them alive. I wish I did. Thank you for the video

Happy birthday to us!!! January 19th, right??? I'm so glad this was a much better experience!!! Thank you for sharing your plant journey with us! Lots of love from your pal in NC! 💗

aww Happy birthday!! Thank you!! 🥰

[@KellyNellas]

🐊 TERRIFYING to me! 😂😂 Thank you for the video! 🎉❤

[@plantsbymelissa]

haha they usually don't come up out of the water but still - I don't like to go down there 😃

[@KellyNellas]

@@plantsbymelissa I wouldn’t either! Land shark!!! 😂

[@Angellegna3175]

I have bought from them before and love them.

[@shmpooch]

Aw they spoiled you 😊 beautiful ! I've always liked the plants that I've ordered from them but they always send the most microscopic little baby plants

[@plantsbymelissa]

I don't order as plantsbymelissa because I don't want special treatment 😊 and it was my first time ordering 4 inch pots so I was definitely impressed with them. Everything else has been little plugs in my previous videos

[@amyheckathorn7172]

I bought little plugs of anthurium vitarifolium and veitchii from The Green Escape, similar to your pinguicula. I wish (after acclimating it) I would have removed the growing media surrounding them before I potted them up. I accidentally knocked over the veitchii a few weeks ago. The roots had grown but had not expanded beyond that little plug. That is my advice for you, take it as you wish. I wish plant sellers would give more advice on what to do with new plants. Especially, if they come only with roots, at least telling us the media it was grown in so I know how to pot it up initially. I’d prefer to start it in a media it is used to while it gets established.

[@JohnAdams-we9gs]

Luna cracks me up but you never told us you have alligators!!!

[@plantsbymelissa]

haha not sure if I mentioned it in older videos here or not but I've shown footage of them on my insta a few times 😂 I definitely don't go near the water down there!

[@NamasteGolden]

Melissa I’m here for these F bombs 😂😂😂 I really hate you had to go through that especially with a wishlist plant! But baby you let them bombs go off 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😂😂😂😂

[@plantsbymelissa]

haha I was definitely upset in the moment! 🤭

[@bre1699]

I love pings! The higher the light the more color. Only distilled water or it will die a slow death. No fertilizer in the soil. Some people do sphagnum moss. I did a cactus like mix with added sand for mind. I keep mine in a small dish of distilled water kind of like a swamp.

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you!! I appreciate the care tips!! 💖

[@thumpaharley7564]

I have the platinum super easy grower! Not fussy and leaves get huge:)

[@jackiesmithwinkworth3085]

Hey Melissa! I have seen people grow their pings in moss with a water tray underneath as well as a sandy mix. Good luck with it! They are so cute!

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thanks for the tip!

[@jackiesmithwinkworth3085]

I think I’ve ordered from the green escape before but mine were philodendrons gorgeous none the less and I was very happy i definitely followed them on Etsy im glad I’m the only one who orders from etsy

[@Ms_Wolffish]

I'm SO excited you finally got a Gigas! 🎉 In my experience it takes a while to "get going" but once it does it pops out a new and bigger leaf every 2 weeks 😊 and it's waaay easier than drama queen Melanochrysum 😅

[@plantsbymelissa]

haha good to hear! Thank you for sharing! 💖

[@panayiotistsamis2186]

I've seen in the past that anthurium silver blush is less silvery as a baby plant so yeah I guess it's going to change overtime, but keep us updated.

[@anashehsookezian4094]

Great haul! I think the silver will come out more as the plant matures and enters its cataphyll phase. Although the leaves are huge the root system isn’t so maybe it needs more time

[@MikeyDonna]

Luna is so typical of cats. She wants to be near you but most of the time she sits with her back to you or looks the other way. They are so independent. You don’t own a cat, they own you. Donna

[@wendib6028]

I just got the platinum at Lowe's 2 weeks ago. Urban jungle 16.00. It's so pretty. I had it in water for 2 weeks to make sure it developed good water roots and just put into pon 3 days ago.

[@plantsbymelissa]

Congrats on that find!! 🥰 I would have snagged it for sure haha. I hope it grows well for you!!
