I still remember stumbling across one of your Albo shows in the Bay Area when I was visiting family, and getting my first ever Monstera Albo 😭. Your passion is what truly drew me in, and I’m so so so incredibly honored to have gotten to know you all these past few years. Thank YOU so much for the kindness, the laughter, your generosity (putting up with my antics in your greenhouse 😂). You are special people and I’m excited to see what the future holds for your family. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@prettyingreen]

😭😭😭 it’s been SUCH an awesome journey building our little CA plant community!! All the fun times with you coming to the greenhouse and the albo shows 🥹 We’re gonna miss it all!!! Thank you for being a part of it! But the best is yet to come!! ☺️

[@kspence5300]

Amazing! I’m so proud of you guys for packing up the familiar and heading to Spain. It’s not an easy move with a young family but 100% worth it. To future adventures!!!

[@prettyingreen]

Thank you so much!!!! ☺️

[@kyrad6543]

I made my first Pretty In Green purchase in February 2022. To this day, I still use my semi-hydro bio pots that fit in the tall ball jars and love them. You are right, it was amazing times and being able to move to Spain to spend more time with your family will be more amazing times. Best wishes to you in this awesome adventure!

[@prettyingreen]

I appreciate this SO much and your early on support!!! I loved those mason jar pots too!!! Good times ahead for sure! Thank you for being with us 😄

[@JasmineRodriguez-Wagner-b5e]

I’m so happy for you guys! I’ve been part of your journey for awhile and was able to attend my first Albo Show in San Diego July 2022 where I got my first two variegated plants that are still thriving! I so much appreciated the support you gave me in growing the Thai Con and Albo Syngonium after purchasing! My fiance also bought my Xmas presents from you last year. Love you guys and all that you have given our plant community! Wishing you all the best in Spain!!! 🎉

[@prettyingreen]

🥹 The San Diego Albo show was the biggest one ever!!! Thank you for coming out to support and continuing after that. It truly means everything 🫶

[@SparkleInMoonlight]

All the best in your new pursuits and I´ll be looking forward to future videos :-) What a relief that you are staying on YT :-) Kindest greetings from the Czech Rep., EU 🍀🍀🍀

[@prettyingreen]

Thank you Elizabeth!!! You’ve always been in our corner 🫶

[@JeniceJustiniano]

Your videos helped me so much when I became a pandemic plant parent. I learned so much and I’m truly grateful. Love the opportunity for your family to move to Spain. Wishing you the best! 💚

[@prettyingreen]

That makes me so happy and makes it all worth it 🙌 Thank you for the well wishes!!!

[@iamclaudiaq]

So exciting n to have the opportunity to move to Europe. Wishing you the best in Spain!!! See you next week 😊

[@shnuggumz]

💚I wish you luck in your future endeavors. I’ll stay tuned for everything planty you continue to embark upon. And yes, it is definitely a fickle business!

[@Jojos25]

So you're coming to Spain? That's great news! Let us know if you're going to do anything around Madrid area (although I understand you're stopping) would love to meet you guys!

[@prettyingreen]

OMG YES we’re coming to Spain in December!!! Show us the tropical plant spots!!

[@mikiluxo]

Whoa good look guys! I myself spaniard from Madrid am planning to buy my first home in the north of spain and starting my plant business there🌱hope to see you around the peninsula!

[@ADHDKING]

Hey man , from Canada it was your true story docs that got me hooked on your channel and my tropical plant Journey. All the very best going forward!!!😀

[@prettyingreen]

That is awesome to hear!!! (I’m part Canadian too!!) I appreciate all the support!!!

[@-Boone]

Congrats to the end of this journey! Hope you do stick around here, I've really enjoyed your content. I watched earlier today and just put in an order for a little Spiritus Sancti, actually one of my dream plants (god, I love long leaves so much). I think it'll be cool to own one of ya'lls plants and I'll be proud to own one from the final drop. Thanks for making this awesome plant affordable!

[@MrHealthywealthy]

I recently started loving being a plant parent with my Monstera albos, and I cannot thank both of you and the channel for its amazing contents, how-tos, and great product! Just received my first order of the Leaflux kit and I want to stock up now while supplies last! Best of luck for you and your family’s new adventure and endeavors in Spain! You are both such wonderful sweet people with best hearts! Thank you and I look forward to keep being your fan subscriber and customer! 💚🤍🪴🤍💚

[@prettyingreen]

Thank YOU for watching the vids AND supporting us with buying leaf lux! It means so much 🙌

[@suwayhamblaylock7357]

Awww!!! That was such a sweet video! Wishing y’all the best of luck for your family and future endeavors!

[@prettyingreen]

Thank you so much!!

[@BushesRs]

Thanks so much for being there when I started my plant collecting, I have five pretty in green spiritus sancti as the epicenter of my collection, thank you so much

[@prettyingreen]

Omgggg YESSSS 🥹 Thank you for all of the support!!!

[@Planted386]

Wishing you all the best!! Good luck. You guys inspired a lot of people just like me to start a channel and get in the game. Thank You!!

[@elis.a4142]

Congratulations! Im sure you are gonna do amazing in Spain, and actually i would love to see you create something plant related! Im from Madrid and there is not to much people selling rare plants. And yes! 🎉Lo mejor está por llegar 🎉🎉

[@alienperfection973]

My heart almost stoped when I saw the tittle lol I have been so fond of your work and channel ! I nerver could buy anything because I live in France but I'm very exited for you to come to Europe !! When I came to France it was so scary and it wasn't easy but I have no regrets. I wish you so much luck and happiness for your new life to come 💚

[@13BulliTs]

Good move, knowing when to stop and take on a new journey takes heart! Good luck, been watching since beginning this year when I bought my first plant and searching for informative news about them.

[@ohemmygee216]

So psyched for you guys and the big life pivot to Spain! How exciting for your kids, and what an amazing experience that will be for all of you. I got to the party late but I’m so grateful our paths crossed when they did- between the care content and the healthy plants (I seriously killed so many albos before I found you guys 😂🫣) becoming a plant mom really got me through one of the hardest times in my life. Between losing my dogs and my marriage and then moving… the daily and weekly rituals of plant care have been so grounding and centering. I am definitely a better person for having crossed paths with you guys- and I hope you know this business has meant so much more to me than just buying plants. It really has given me such huge pieces of myself back that I didn’t know I was sleeping on in the first place. And I’m sure that’s true for so many others also. Super grateful for all of the wisdom and intentionality that was brought to Pretty In Green. I can’t wait to see what the future brings next for you guys and this space

[@elzmomma]

I remember that lacroix box! Love you guys!!! So happy for y’all 💜

[@manuelavonwitte]

OMG Jordyn!! 😭

[@prettyingreen]

OMG Jordyn!!! THANK YOU for being the FIRST CUSTOMER EVER 😭😭😭

[@Crusher-DC]

So happy for you guys! You both are very special people and the RPC (Rare Plant Community) is lucky to have you as part of our special world. So time for you and your family to send out a new “emergent”….I just know it will be the most beautiful one of all!🥰 You guys rock💪👍.

[@lublutina]

Love this and love you guys! Can’t wait for what’s next and many visits to Spain! 💛🌱

[@prettyingreen]

YES TREEEENS COME!!!

[@Jessica_Olena]

Oh my god! You scared me for a second. I can’t live without Leaf Lux. Congrats and the exciting changes!

[@prettyingreen]

Hahahahaa nahhh leaf lux is HERE TO STAY 🗣️😂 thank you for the support 🙌

[@shanemaloy]

Wishing you the best of luck! We'll be here to support you for decades to come.

[@prettyingreen]

[@ashleyhall2136]

Good luck! I love my albo from y’all and looking forward to plant mail from your last drop! Thank you for all you do!

[@nellygonz4528]

Hey guys the albo shows were so much fun! I’m going to miss them. I know you guys will do well in everything you do! 🎉❤❤❤

[@reyhosein2533]

Everything will work out well, you all are amazing, looking forward to the future ❤😊

[@monsteraetc]

Honestly, I think this is amazing and exactly the sort of opportunity that changes lives (for the better!) forever. Congrats!!!💚

[@gingercaudill7219]

😢 I truly wish you all the happiness and strength in your new journey! You deserve the world and more! Thank you for sharing with us and I personally cannot express my gratitude for all that you do and look forward for the future! Lots of love ❤️ Ginger

[@painterlynne]

I won two Monstera Albo on Palmstreet and I turned them into six plants! They are just wonderful and I love them. Bless you on your next great adventure!

[@prettyingreen]

OMG YES!!!! I remember that 😂 I hope they continue to THRIVE in your care 🙌

[@trenamarie9820]

Wish the best for your family and the new adventures to come.

[@prettyingreen]

Thank you so much 🙌

[@dkonga88]

Wow, that last quote-‘the best is yet to come’-gave me all the feels! 🌱 You’ve grown such a beautiful plant community here, and while we’ll miss your planty goodness, we’re rooting for you in this next adventure. Sending all the green vibes as you plant new roots in Spain! 🇪🇸🪴 Here’s to the next chapter-can’t wait to see what blooms! 💚

[@alltheplantbabies]

Aw so happy for you guys! It’s been such a journey for the whole industry. Keep in touch!!!!!!

[@Flipperwi715]

Amazing for the family. Congrats. I almost went into panic as I'm obsessed with your aroid mix, and am making it my go-to product. lolol

[@prettyingreen]

Hahahaa awwww thank you!!! We actually just got custom bags for it and are making it gnat resistant with BTI already added in 👀 I appreciate the support!!!

[@Chrispyoy]

Awww man i wasnt expecting this to happen so soon after Kaylees video 🥲 But yea I totally get it. and as hard as it can be to make this transition its really great to see you guys share this journey with *such a positive spirit* and i have no doubt it will all work out for the best with all the love and hard work youre putting into it! 🥲 So again, wishing you all the best and sending you all the good vibes for this new chapter! Oh and I bet Spain is gonna be amazing im lowkey jealous lol 💚

[@prettyingreen]

I know-it’s wild what’s happened to the plant world! Thank you for the kind words-that is so kind to hear 🥹 Thank you for the support!!

[@Hollywiththeflowers]

Awww this is really touching & encouraging. Good luck on your next step in beautiful sunny Spain! It must have been one crazy ride for you. Having a baby in the pandemic times must have bought a spectacular amount of concerns and stress at times. I don’t know you, but I’m proud of you for following your dreams, hope the move goes as smoothly and easy as possible. 🌱💞

[@CharlieGreen05]

💚💚thank you so much for sharing , I wish you guys the best ! “When one door closes another opens”

[@phungm7]

Wow and you ship such nice healthy plants. My last order I felt like I ripped y’all off because I paid for ~13+ plants and it had like 22 plants in the tissue culture bag.

[@PlantSpam]

Awesome! So happy for you guys. Best wishes! ✌️🫶🌞

[@FeatheredDreamStudio]

Sadness in a way. I was really looking forward to finally having the money to buy a plant or two from you. At the same time…I am sooooo proud of you y’all!! This is amazing and I REALLY hope things just take off even more for you guys!! Safe travels, God Bless and God speed!! 🥰

[@jacquelinewilliams375]

Congratulations to you both! A new adventure is waiting!❤

[@prettyingreen]

Thank you!! 😊

[@GreenWitch1]

All the best to your family! Im excited for you!!

[@prettyingreen]

[@GreenWitch1]

@ You’re welcome ☺️

[@lacieplants]

Good luck!! I wish you guys all the best. youre one of the first online shops i ever bought plants from, and i was scared of the cold because i was so new to the hobby, and monica was so fast to respond, completely put me at ease, and the philo rio i got from you guys is absolutely stunning now. im so glad to have been a teeny tiny piece of your journey, and ill definitely be here for whatever you post from your new adventure!! Congratulations 💚

[@Thrinmeister]

Oh my gosh y'all, we need more people and sellers with your kind of integrity. SO happy for you exploring your next chapter of life and getting to go to Spain with your kiddo, and also so sad hearing the plant news. Thank you for doing the Albo shows; they were some of my most cherished experiences to get to go to the San Jose chapter, wait in line chatting excitedly with other local plant nerds, and meet you all. Hoping to cross paths again in the future and delighted you are maintaining the youtube end of things. Thank you both so much.

[@prettyingreen]

Omg I’ll never forget that COLD windy morning in San Jose!!! Y’all posted up with the blanket and some coffees 😅 true dedication!! Truly appreciate all the support Catherine 🙌 people like you make dreams like this possible!!!

[@silenc3x]

Onto bigger, better things. Congrats on everything so far. What a journey! Glad you're sticking with youtube. More content for us :)

[@MonsteraUnderTheBed]

I’m so in agreement with you guys! I’ve bought from you in VN recently. I’m terrified of getting sued, people are nuts especially in SoCal. Everything is a suit. I’m so sorry! ❤🌱 if I had the opportunity to raise my children when they were in young in another country- go!! The schools will be amazing compared to LA! And it’s so expensive and hard to live out here. I think that’s amazing! I’m happy for you all. I think you’re making the best choice! If you’re selling a few still- im close enough to pick up!

[@prettyingreen]

It’s a crazy world right now it seems!! Dm me on IG-I’ve got cheap spiritus Sancti right now!

[@dafnesaenz1617]

Aww this makes me extremely sad 😢 I bought my first albo from you guys when it was a big deal back in the day. I’m glad you have the freedom to go look for what makes you happy in a new place. Good luck to you and your family! PS- please don’t stop making youtube content for the plant peeps, you are meant to do this! 🎉

[@Tina-wi7we]

That's really cool. Enjoy your next adventure.

That’s a hard decision but I’m so excited for your new adventures in Spain! As a bilingual person because my mom is Hispanic, I can’t stress enough how important and amazing it is to know another language and learn about other cultures. Glad you will still be around in some capacity but excited for your new adventures!

What a great opportunity for your little family. Enjoy your new adventure.

[@BushesRs]

I'm thankful I have some of your plants!

[@kathleenhall3868]

Thanks for sharing your history as a couple and many-faceted business. Just ordered another kit and a Spiritus Sancti, one I've avoided but I figure the one you ship will have good karma. Do hope you retain the plant history videos as well as analyses of industry trends, a niche no one (that I've discovered on YT anyway) is filling.

[@AlphaHenriksen]

I'm glad you're staying on youtube

[@machomojica177]

OMG I can’t believe it. I’m so happy I have a couple of albos from you guys and thank God, the rooting hormone and leaf flux aren’t going anywhere because I don’t think me or my plans could live without it. You guys really are amazing people and you know what I would rather pay $300 to buy a plant from you guys then buy the same exact plant from somebody else for $100, because of how amazing you guys are wishing you guys all the best of luck in life you guys deserve it!!!! God bless you guys and your family!!!! oh yeah and this is crazyDaisy4plants don’t know if you guys remember me, this is my husband’s KZbin account lol

Thanks for sharing! I’m curious what kind of silica you’ll have? I don’t remember the specific names and am aware that there are inferior types on the market that don’t do much and a specific kind you want to use on your plants.

[@lisasteele6445]

Congrats🎉

[@normandgoupil382]

So sad you're going!!! I guess you'll not be sharing all the secrets you promised about big changes and growing plants. You will definitely be missed!! I do wish you the best of luck!! Be well!!! Normand from Hawaii sometimes it is what is beautiful that carries us
