    Over the last fifty years (I’m 70), I must have spent thousands and thousands of pounds on plants , both for garden and house. Plants are my passion, my garden is my happy place, my idea of heaven is to live in somewhere like Kew Gardens! I have had many comments from family and friends over the amount of money I have spent, my answer always has been ‘ some women spend money on shoes, clothes, hair and nails, me, I spend it on my plants’ . I’m retired now and on a much depleted budget, but tomorrow I’m off to buy some succulents ( love always finds a way) 🥰🥰👩🏻‍🌾🌺💐Happy gardening x

    I work in the ecotourism industry as a tour leader/guide. I have learned over the last 10+ years that the people who give you the most trouble, who want to extract the most out of you, who make you work the hardest, will NEVER be happy no matter what you do or offer. At a certain point, I had enough of a client base that those people who are troublemakers just go on a personal blacklist. They just take up space on your calendar and create stress -- and take away time from people who are good repeat customers who deserve your 100%.

    I have a small business, and many of my friends own small businesses. It’s shocking how salty people get over others who achieve any sort of success. There’s a misconception that opening a business makes you “rich”. They don’t understand how much one has to hustle just to break even. Small privately owned businesses are passion projects that you bust ass to make happen. Not everyone is a business owner because often times it takes years of sacrifice.
    So many will judge anytime you spend money, go on vacation, raise prices, etc etc etc. Nothing is ever good enough. These clients are the same hypocrites who turn around and post “support small business!” on social media.
    Good job staying strong and keeping your head on straight. All that matters is YOUR happiness. I wish people weren’t so hateful, but the next best thing is ignoring it. Best wishes!

    A lot of times I think saying, “they’re just jealous,” is a really gross way to not examine our own actions. But in cases like this I completely agree. Plants are a luxury & the entitlement some people feel that somehow they’re owed these hard to find plants is disgusting. I feel jealous of some people’s plants. But those feelings are mine to own & deal with. Projecting that disappointment out as an attack, instead of dealing with our feelings is truly pathetic

  • @Laurensji

    Feel your pain here. I have had a private collection of rarer aroids for 3-4 years - so just before the 'boom'. After this past year, I'm so done selling cuttings that have outgrown my collection via fb or having a plant Instagram because of how entitled and difficult people are to deal with.
    I am getting to the point I would rather throw cuttings of a mid-high 3 digit plant in the bin rather than deal with the abuse and generally nasty behaviour from too many people in the plant community. Whether it be price shaming, feeling entitled to cuttings, abuse over a courier taking too long etc etc.
    The amount of people who have raised PayPal disputes against me to get a refund after receiving the plant because it had slight cosmetic damage or something stupid is mind-blowing.
    Hoping if I take a step back it might settle in a year or two when people find a new hobby...

      I completely agree! I recently had a customer claiming she's an expert in growing and rooting plants🚩 Sold her 3 bulbs that are healthy viable and actively sprouting node and roots. Arrived in great condition! 2 weeks later, she contacted me saying she's not sure how she should plant it but she did it anyway and she's wondering why the sprout hasn't come up yet from her medium. 🤷‍♀️ 5 weeks later, she claimed a charge back and the reason? "Not as described" I was like wtf🤯

    • @2close2themoon
      @2close2themoon 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Sad to hear you have so many bad customers. We need good sellers! The overwhelming vast majority of sellers, whether shops or private sellers, that I've dealt with have sold me great plants and the two times I had plants die due to sudden cold snaps, both times I got refunds or credits without even asking. Twice I bought cuttings from private sellers that were, let's just say, less than thrilling -- the one sent tiny leaves that let me know they're overfarming their mother plant and the other nearly strangled the stalks the node ends were so tightly wrapped in plastic wrap. Neither purchase was for very much, so I chalk those up to "lesson learned." But you might have the right idea: to wait until the FAD is over and you get people who legit want quality stuff but understand how shipping works.

      @Fabulous Fancy Plants omg, I've had the same thing happen almost exactly!! I sold some dormant roots, that were absolutely fine, to someone on eBay & bc they had no idea what dormant roots were (which is why they should've never ordered them in the first place!) they claimed they received a bunch of dead sh$t & requested a refund!! I had one person plant what they received and bc, in less than a week they hadn't seen anything come up, they assumed they were dead as well. I guess I'm just a different breed of person. I get that eBay gives ppl 30 days to theoretically request a refund (which I also think is bs, but that's another convo), but when it comes to something like roots or bulbs, unless it's apparent upon arrival that there's something SERIOUSLY wrong with them, I would never return to the seller weeks later to request a refund bc a plant didn't grow after I planted it. I mean, there could be a million reasons why something doesn't sprout....& to me, that wouldn't have shit to do w/ the person who sold them to me....does that make sense? It would be the equivalent of buying a packet of seeds and planting them & then digging them back up a month later and returning them to the store bc they didn't grow!! 20 yrs ago, eBay was not the crazy place it is now. I resell toys & shoes mostly...I haven't delved into the world of actual live cuttings & from the horror stories, don't think I'm gonna! And even in those two genres, I deal with some of the same issues. If something is used, ppl assume it's MY used item...for instance, if it smells like smoke then I must be a smoker, which I'm not, but I buy from yard sales, goodwill, estate sales, etc. & sometimes even after cleaning things, they still smell. I'm like well then go buy the damn thing brand new, for much more money if you wanna be that picky!!! I'd rather lose the buyer than deal with picky ass people who want a nearly new item or even a brand new item, get it and then bitch and moan bc one little tiny thing is wrong...I actually had someone open a case on me bc a piece of cardboard was missing separating a the top of a glass item from the bottom...eBay sided with her...she sent my item back (got her money back, I lost my shipping cost both ways!) & once receiving it, she had opened a sealed item AND the piece of cardboard was inside all along, it was literally underneath the top she never picked up!!! HA! No joke!😂😂😂😂 eBay almost isn't worth dealing with bc they almost always side with the buyer, but whaddya gonna do!

And when you asked for pictures or proof, they change topic!🤷‍♀️🤯😂 All selling platforms and payment processing services covers sellers for only lost and items not delivered/received and unauthorized purchase. When a buyer claims "Not as described" then as a seller, we are not covered. Therefore, as hard as it can be and as difficult it may seem, I would rather take checks, money orders and cash for my plants.

    It feels to me like some people forget that rare house plants are a luxury item. No one /needs/ a variegated gloriosum to survive.
    The people that are willing to spend the monetary equivalent of a car on a luxury item either buy it as an investment for their business or they just have enough money that spending this price on "frivolous" luxury items doesn't hurt their wallet...which means that if it weren't huse plants they would probably trade in some other luxury item like cars, boats, horses, art, fashion, jewellery, electronics or travelling.
    They could donate it of course,and some businesses do put money aside for charity, but if it's a business investment they'd be stupid to take too much money outside of their business ...plus donations and the free market still mean that grown people are free to decide where/ how they want to spent their "extra money".
    I am all for more equal opportunities and (financial, educational) resources for people in all countries but even very expensive plants are not making that much of a dent compared to other markets.

Thank you! 🌿🍃🌱🪴 from one plant mommy to another🤗

    Edit: 30:43 you're also extremely intelligent, in more ways than one. It's a nice change of pace in feeling like I can connect with someone through a screen. Show and tell is entertainment but intellectual stimulation while enjoying a part-time hobby makes it a different platform completely.

    Kaylee dropping the hard facts! 👏🏽 Businesses paying TONS of money for specimens to keep and make more plants off of, ISN'T anyone's business. Hell, even a private plant collector with the wallet to pay these prices shouldn't be shamed! You don't shame people for buying pretty cars now do ya? I'd LOVE a McLaren, I ain't even gonna be able to buy one, but I sure as hell ain't even gonna shame anyone for having one wtf? So why would you attack someone for buying a plant YOU can't afford??? It screams insecurity and shallowness.
    Edit: I have found a rather nice and decently big(swedish, as i am a swede) fb group for plant trading,selling, and buying. There is zero tolerance for price shaming and it is upheld by the mods and fellow members, AND I LOVE IT!!!

    Additionally, for the "plants grow out of the ground" argument... many of these do not. You're not going to stumble upon a 4 foot tall Thai constellation as you're strolling through the jungle. These plants are bred and cared for to make them attractive specimens.

    Well this video was necessary. I'm not gonna lie it crossed my mind that you might say you favor certain plants to manipulate the market but since I watch lots of your videos I've noticed you trash talk plants you sell and remember you saying the the obliqua is going down in value so common sense seas you do not intentionally try to manipulate the market. I think you hit the nail on the head when you said price shaming is done by jealous people. I also think price shaming is done by people who are simply angry they can't afford the prices. They also shame people like me who pay the prices. It's really toxic. That's why I don't publicly tell people how much I pay for my plants. They try and make you feel stupid and ashamed for what they call over paying. Nothing worse then non plant people finding out how much you paid and sarcastically saying " You paid that for a leaf ?"... Edit: I can so relate to having extra money for plants or self care because I don't go out and party or eat out much. I'm a homebody who rather be home chilling with my plants lol. Besides I live in Florida and it's too hot to go out often lol.

    I totally agree with your noticing of the thickness of their roots and the correlation that that has with the water requirements. This appears to extend past aroids such as orchids, like cattleya, some phalaenopsis, angraecums and vandas with thick fleshy roots can handle under watering well and prefer to dry out quite a bit between watering and the ones with thin, fine roots like oncidiums, draculas and bulboyphullums like more moisture and like to stay moist

    I've never understood price shaming or people thinking someone controls the market, it's literally just called supply and demand and its a very basic economic principal... If someone wants to buy a plant at a huge price, that's 100% their right to do so and the seller is 100% okay to sell the plant to them at that price if that's what the buyer is willing to pay!

    Kaylee- I’ve never been a hater but I will admit that at your launch I said that the prices were out of my range. I didn’t word it in a way that was snarky- I didn’t dislike you then and I don’t dislike you now. But I deleted not long after I made the comment it because simply didn’t understand the “rare” market as I do now. You’ve done well and you are competitive with your business.
    I just wanted to say that though I’ve never been a hater , I did want to apologize for what I said because it added to the pile at that time. You are a phenomenal business woman and I appreciate your transparency. I personally swore off spending triple digits on any plant, but I think I can make an exception for your shop; you deserve success and I know that I’ll receive a well cared for plant.
