    I'm only 40 seconds into the video and just wanted to say: Just be yourself! That in its own is a really big lifegoal and not easy to do. So I think everyone that manages to really be themselves on a daily basis is a very, very brave person!

    Hi Nick! I’d love to see you make a video about common plant “problems” that aren’t actually problems (losing old leaves, dust vs spider mites, etc) sometimes I think I overreact to “problems” that are just a natural part of owning plants. Thank you!! :)

    Aug 2022 You were right about the Piper Crocatum appearing in stores about a year out from your video. One appeared in my local nursery last spring and I love it. I was online today to see if I could figure out what all the little white crystal things were - after having treated it for pests twice and see them come back. (Yes, I am an experienced indoor plant person, but geez, I had completely forgotten your vid here. lol) My new favorite. Thanks for being the only youtuber to mention the crystals (that look very very much like bug eggs).

    Hey Nick, I love this style of videos where you go through your collection and share with us!! I'd also like to see "plants (could be a series per genus) I'd buy when they come down in price". You tell us all the time if things were cheap a couple years ago, but it would be nice to get a video full of it!

    What a beautiful statement at the beginning of your video ❤️ 🌈 . I rarely if ever comment, but ive been watching your content since early last year. Love you! You remind me a younger version of the actor John Malkovich when you speak, but I digress. I’ve learned a lot about plant care, ty, and I love the way you talk to your cat 🐈‍⬛. You crack me up some days, especially when you share your reactions to customers when you worked in the plant shop 😊. I think you are a people person! Keep up the great work.

    Thank you so much. My son is 11 and has come out to me. While I am not shocked or angry or judgmental. I am embracing it. Anything my son is = mama loves. However his dad is very hurtful. He accuses him of wanting to be a “cross dresser” and tells him he doesn’t like when he listens to female artists, he also says the only reason we get along is because we are both feminine and it’s only a phase. Meaning we won’t be close later on down the line. I don’t know why I’m saying this to the whole world. I just want to say thank you so much for saying that in the beginning of your video. I doubt it will reach his dad but it might reach someone like him.

    Hi Nick! content idea: plants that pop/unfurl new leaves that remain the same size vs ones that grow bigger.
    sometimes I fear I am mistreating a plant cause it's new leaf comes in so small, but then sometimes it grows larger over time.

    I love my linearis (vsoh)! It's so easy to grow and prop and for all I keep being told extra humidity it sits above my computer in an east facing window and blows up in growth. The pot was $40 for a 4" with barely any growth and now it can easily give me an inch a week of growth. I love propping pieces of it to fill the top of the pot more and watch them learn how to trail ❤️

    Hoyas actually love water, but they don't like their roots to sit in it. I have many hoya varieties, including obscura, and I water them 1-2 times a week, or whenever the medium has dried completely. If you give your obscura more water and some humidity, it should pick up
