I want to thank you so much. I’m a girl from Paris, France. I’m 29 and I got into plants a few years ago when i was passing through a deep depression. I’m now growing about 100 plants I love in my 25m2 life space. I learned a lot watching your videos over the years. Now i’m moving to Rouen, a smaller city in Normandy and in two weeks i’ll be starting a one year degree specialised in horticultural production. This video and his story moves me so much, it’s so inspiring and motivating. I’ll be thinking of you both when i’ll make my first steps into the “Jardin des Plantes” of Rouen greenhouses. I’ll do my traineeship there. You’re a big part of these incredible life changes I’m about to make and i’ll never be able to thank you enough ❤
Wow, that was fun!!! I got the most beautiful Hoya lacunosa ‘Snowcaps’ from Steve’s Leaves-a perfect purchase in every way- was packaged beautifully and the plant was healthy and full-so happy!!!
This makes me so emotional, good on him for sticking it out and happy he’s been able to benefit from his passion. I have full respect for his struggle! I So inspirational 😮
😭💚💜 This was such a cool story, I'm crying with you Steve! Thank you Summer for sharing! I want to add that Steve's Leaves has the absolute best customer service too!
Awesome to hear his story. always love your videos. So much can be learned from people like you and him. I began watching your videos after losing my 16-year-old daughter back in Jan 2017, after the funeral I was left with some plants people had brought to the services and needed help in figuring out how to care for them. Little did I know I would learn and grow so much personally from that one internet search. Over five years later that handful of plants had grown to about 100 in my little 2-bedroom apartment in a small rural town in Arkansas. They helped me through all the depression and along with your very intuitive videos kept my mind and body busy so that I could find peace and work my way out of the depression. Not to mention I've learned a lot not just about how to keep my brown thumb green, but about the environment and my effect on it. Yes, I've also purchased some wonderful begonias from Steve's leaves too. Thank you both so much.
I love Steve's Leaves! I have always been delighted with every order. The care that goes into the packaging and shipping is unsurpassed. Also the quality of the plants I've gotten is stellar. Thank you for this interview. It really does prove that adaptation and perseverance is so vital.
What an amazing story and individual.... Love always wins in any form ❤️ to much more success in the future for Steve's leaves you have a customer for life
I've bought from Steve before and love all of his plants! Just ordered a Philodendron gloriosum! This plant has been on my wish list and now with Summer's discount it was affordable! Thank you both Summer and Steve!
Oh great video Summer, I love Steve's Leaves and have ordered so many beautiful plants from them. I hope that soon I can order some more. Have a great day, sending love and hugs, bye for now. 💜🙌
This is incredible to watch. I’ve been in love with Steve’s leaves since I found my first ever adonsii at a Home Depot in Dallas in the mid 2000s. I would always check for the brand because they had the coolest plants. Fast forward and I’m still a regular online customer. Steve, you are an inspiration. Your story is amazing to hear. Thank you so much for getting me into houseplant collecting. My early house plant loves were all from Steve’s Leaves. ❤
I first heard about you from watching unboxing videos from Nick Pileggi. I had been very skeptical and cautious of ordering plants online, worried they wouldn't survive. Seeing the care with which you packed and wrapped your plants and how well they looked upon arrival in so many videos, made a believer out of me. I looked you up online and fell in love with the mother of pearl begonia. It has taken me a long time to get it, and in the meantime I have ordered other plants from you which all arrived in perfect condition and are all continuing to thrive, that MOP begonia is absolutely gorgeous!! It is one one my favorite plants. Thank-you for staying with your dream and sharing it with all of us.
I live in Houston Texas and I found out about Steve’s Leaves from your channel and the unboxing you did. I have ordered twice or more from them. Thanks for sharing and working so hard to keep us informed
Summer… I learned about Steve through your videos…placed several orders… and after seeing this video… would be happy to continue to support someone so passionate about what they do. This video was very inspirational… Thanks 🙏 for it… Happy Fall 🍂🍁🍂… Stay safe and warm… Peace 💐
Steve, I wish your business flourish more.. the plant trends keep shifting every few months, as a grower it must have been difficult for you all ! I never knew HD has this pay by scan system and you guys don’t get paid if it’s not sold.. well they have so much incompetent people looking after the plants , so much water or no water or getting burnt in sun.. they don’t even discount those plants.. they just toss it to trash.. as a hobbyist it breaks my heart.. a lot of people grow these plants with love… I am local to you and I have purchased many times from you… I even got a sneak peek to your green house few years back.. you guys are very caring and plant quality is top notch ! I will continue to buy from you in future as well. And I can vouch for their plant quality as a regular buyer !
His personal story where he was struggling made me tear up. I have never heard anything bad about him, and I hate that he was treated that way by Home Depot. It's stories like his that encourage me to shop at small businesses, and less because of my low income, but appreciate the love from these small owners. I have bought from him a couple of times, had one time where it came dead on arrival, and the team was so incredibly helpful. He is such a great business to highlight, and can not wait to order more from him in the future. May his family and business be filled with health, happiness, and prosperity, as well as yours. Love your channel!
I can't believe 'pay by scan' ever became a legally acceptable business practice! Well done Steve for switching to an online business ~ it must have seemed like 'freedom at last!' What a stunningly beautiful collection of plants ~ if I lived in the USA Steve's Leaves would definitely be my go-to plant resource. Btw Summer...I crave another plant unboxing! ☺
This video was so sweet 😍 Did you do the filming yourself Summer? I loved it! And the editing when you change a plant when the music changed were so spot on! 🥰
I get so excited when I see you have a new tour, but especially excited over Steve’s Leaves, & yes you definitely introduced me to him, & online plant buying.
Your first Steve's Leaves episode is one of the first videos I've watched when I started nurturing indoor plants at home. Now it's been 5 years. How time flies! Congratulations 🌱
Thank you Steve and Steve Leaves love the music with those flash of plants oh so lovely began my begonia love / collection due to this channel, watching begonia from steve leaves - just pure beauty
Thank you Steve for not closing ! I’ve been ordering plants since summers first tour of Steve’s leaves . Steves leaves is the best place to order plants online . Even in the winter. Great selection! Keep up the good work.
Hi Summer! It was interesting, and sometimes sad, listening to Steve's story about getting to where he's at today. I'm so glad he decided not to give up. His passion for plants is awesome. I've searched his website many time, but haven't taken the plunge and ordered yet. This video makes me more determined to order from him. I heard that Home Depot didn't outright own the plants and that is why they couldn't offer discounts on the ones that weren't looking/doing good, but I didn't realize they could just throw them away for no reason. That just doesn't seem right. Thank you so much for sharing, and thank you to Steve for the discount code!
As someone who lives in Dallas (20 minutes from their nursery) we have the ability to do local pickup. I can't say enough how awesome this Team is here. They have such a "hands on" approach to their business. Their generosity & passion for plants are prime examples of what we all love about the plant community.
So nice guy ❤️❤️to know how much he loves a plants .. he don't want to give up.. and continue his fashion.. I love you guys love from Philippines 🇵🇭 ..
I placed my first order with Steve's Leaves a few weeks ago and bought 2 Syngoniums! I was a 70s teen that was totally plant addicted and I'm even more obsessed now! Really enjoyed this video!
Steve’s Leaves is the ONLY place I buy begonias (I have many. Lol) They also have some really interesting plants 🪴 at reasonable prices. The care they take packaging is clear.
@@annacostello5181 I’ve never been disappointed in the packaging or quality of the plants! My love for philodendrons must be like yours for begonia’s 😉
Sumner, I loved your first Steve’s Leaves tour series and this one as well. Such a wonderful conversation!
