May I request a "How NOT to build a green wall" video? We all learn so much from mistakes; perhaps more than watching how to do it correctly. It's OK if you haven't figured everything out yet. I'm still very curious about what your process has been and what you have found so far that didn't work. I'd LOVE to watch that and have that info. Thank you for your dedication to our global plant community 💕
ooh I like that 💡
I also have a greenwall, and it is not working.. rootrot, lighting issues, etc etc. This would be super helpful!
“People using knowledge as a dick swing.”
Brilliant. So agree.
Play with plants - kill a few - have some surprise successes - but mostly… have fun!!
Thank you!!!
thanks , describes me on how I just enjoy my plants . kill some and learn how to keep them alive in the process
Man, in regards to the plant community, the last few years have been rough to watch. Especially here in the US? I'm a shop owner here, and the amount of 'turn and burn' I see BIG name companies here doing is insane. (And if you import, you learn to recognize the signs of a freshly imported plant.) Some of the most popular in the US, some of which are also wholesalers. Like unpack a box of plants and list them for sale the same day type of stuff. And as a businesswoman that takes time to acclimate and such, it's so frustrating to see happen. Despite some of these plants coming commercially available, it's still more cost effective for me to import and acclimate myself. Versus buying potentially flipped imports at a markup from said companies. Tissue culture (by this I mean still in their flask/bag, haven't been hardened off, and are SUPER likely to die once they're shipped again.) flipping is also starting become a thing here.
The amount of absolute ELISTISM has become nausea inducing as well. People touting superiority because of the plants they own, and actively making a point to shame others for not being able to afford and/or willing to pay the prices. It's so gross that I've become disengaged with a lot of it, and just put my head down and work.
I have also noticed a lot of the 'knowledge flex' you spoke about. Lots of people are so quick to jump in an bash/mansplain/try to convince people their way is 'right' when ultimately it boils down to the individual and their environment.
Phew, rant over 😂
Having a house tour of an empty house and then a filled one is so satisfying though, I love watching people fill spaces to their tastes
Also plant POV YES PLEASE!!
I came to make a similar comment. A before and after round be pretty groovy imho.
That’s actually a cool idea, a before and after haha
Opened comments to say this, so yes - BOTH! 😊
Yup. Do an empty house tour so we can see updated after tours.
Would love to see an empty house tour and the process of filling it as and when you do it!
This! ^
Yessss
Agreed
Absolutely
Empty house tour with OR without it being put together (with your furniture,plants,personal do-dads) is a YES from me. If your comfortable with it & want to show us. And plant chores pov is also a YES. 💜
Plant chores POV sounds great! I'm here for it
I love your attitude. Enjoy plants. You don’t need to know everything to enjoy something. Exactly, you speak your mind and I really appreciate that. Stay you. 🐴
You might not have qualifications but you have come such a long way from cutting roots off to fit in a plant pot 🤣🙊 I've done some botany in my degree and it did not teach me much for caring for the plants at all. The best way to learn is to surround yourself without a doubt.
Upset with how quiet the community has gone but I have a few close planty friends who i regularly swop and catch up with and it's just the best thing 🥰. I havent heard anything about the TEA groups in years 🤷
I like having your ramblings on in the background while I do house chores so I would 100% love rambling with plant chores.
POV yes please! would love to see around the shop through a go pro. Give a feel of what it’s like to spend a day working with plants!!
❤
I am so invested in your horse lol - it seems like you are making great choices and doing all you can. I’d love to see more swimming videos - that is the coolest. I’ve been dreaming about doing an addition with an indoor pool because water aerobics are such a benefit for those of us with certain health issues, but I also want one for my dog who has had two knee replacements and can’t do high impact exercise despite being fairly high energy.
First of all I would love all the videos you suggested.
When I was in the orchid community it was pretty rough. The older generation was very uptight. They have off the vibe of “ how dare you ask questions, it’s so common sense.” As for tropical plants I’ve seen the rudeness pick up. Although I feel like that happens in any group over time. At the end of the day when people are involved people will be people of you know what I mean.
I have 2 tiny baby jewel orchids as my only and first orchids. Didn't really know what I was getting into but they're growing nicely and I've learnt a ton! Met my first orchid person really ever the other day and my God she tried to beat me down immediately. Saying I must be a newbie, had no idea what I was talking about and that she only deals with "real" orchids. Then said I had more money than sense to buy the "fashionable" plants with no knowledge.
I literally got them for 5 bucks each because they were so tiny. And I hadn't asked for help was just asking if she sold whole plants as I was keen to get a purple moth orchid someday.
Was really gutted but got home to a new leaf forming in my baby jewel so 🖕 her 😂😂
I wouldn't mind waiting until you decorated your house for a tour, but definitely film it to do a before and after
This is so interesting! As someone with a similar degree, I think it's really unfortunate to see talented people moving out of the industry because of unequal pay and unhealthy workplaces. It's already difficult being a woman in the industry and companies like this just make it worse
I think a before/after house tour would be cool! Like bare room vs all set up with furniture/plants and the like.
Love how honest you are. Even better, I love you calling people out about their bullshit! 😊
First off - I would love the idea of a GoPro video especially if I could see around the studio. Second vis-a-vis Harry Potter there are two main issues that I am seeing come up. The first being with the game itself and its storyline basis as putting down the goblin rebellion, when there has been issues in the past with the goblins being seen as Jewish characters. Especially as the goblins are a subservient race in Harry Potter to wizards. I’m not entirely educated on this but I know that that’s the basic rundown. Also the biggest issue is Jk’s stance on trans people and the misinformation she publishes about them. I myself am a trans person and as such can no longer interact with Harry Potter content as it hurts too much, even though I loved it dearly as a child. But I also don’t like the stance that some trans people have including my friends stating that everyone must avoid Harry Potter at all costs. it was still an incredibly important cultural event for many people and even many trans-friends that I have still love Harry Potter but they remove J. K. Rowling from the narrative. This might not help at all but that’s just my little info dump from my perspective. I’ve always loved this channel and I’m supporting you 100% all the best. Xxx
Not only the transphobia anymore, she's doing events and taking pics with neo nazis now 😵💫 Not saying she is one, but no one hangs out with that crowd unless you agree on some things... I used to be obsessed with Harry Potter, just makes me sad now.
I don’t get too much into the plant community but those few who I do follow, they aren’t dicks. So most of the sh*t is invisible to me.
I’d love to see a POV video of you tending to your stock. I think that would be fun! And as you’ve said, we need more people promoting fun/enjoyment with plants. Great idea 💡 ❤
The Go-Pro chore time sounds fun, and I think the DM idea sounds like it could be really funny. Do it!
Forgot to say that, if your comfortable sharing, I'd totally watch an empty house tour. Sometimes the architecture of an empty space is fun.
I love the go pro idea!
I think im gonna do a test run of it soon!
I know sounds amazing right
@@KayleeEllenOfficial I can't to see it. do you mind if I borrow that it really sounds intriguing. I kinda sorta did something Ike this last week when I set the camera in the dirt and I started looking for produce. came out pretty good
You know what, my husband just left his own programming job at a gaming company here in the US due to company politics and back stabbing (they literally made shit up and lied to HR about him and told him to his face that they lied to HR). I am also a programmer and I just started a new job in June for the same same thing. I wish folks would grow up and get over the high school bully clique bullshit. We're grown not 16. It's the worst.
Edit: re: WoW I used to play all the time but after the lawsuit came out and blizzard and the sexism and a girl unaliving herself over it....I will never touch another blizz game.
Re: the Harry Potter thing, I imagine it's probably because JK Rowling is a raging TERF and people don't want to give her money
I quit WoW for the same reasons. As women in IT, we have to stand up for each other... whether you're a programmer, a developer, a network admin, or help desk. It's rough out there. I learned that I was making $10k less annually than my male coworker... who was less educated... and who had been there for less time... and therefore was doing less work....
I'm glad you and your husband can understand and support each other. It's rare for couples to have the same career, it's a unique insight you both have into each other's work lives!
the issue revolving around the harry potter game is because it's harry potter. the franchise at the minute has been in hot water because jk rowling unfortunately revealed herself as a TERF not too long ago (trans exclusionary radical feminist if you weren't aware!) and has some really shitty opinions on trans people :( It's left a really sour taste in lgbtqia people's mouths, so many people don't want to support harry potter since she gets revenue from sales from it. Some people choose to still support harry potter fan creations only, some people have dropped it entirely, and some people are trying to enjoy it regardless since it's special to so many. lots of broken hearts since so many people looked up to her growing up, and the wizarding world is so important to many.
Don’t hate on your teeth! They look great and your smile suits you ☺️ I get it though, I had braces for almost three years as a teenager and got picked on for my teeth before getting them. And then I got picked on for having braces 🙄🤷♀️
In regards to your question about the new Hogwarts Legacy game: From what I understand, the game's plot revolves around quelling one of the Goblin Rebellions in the 1890s, and the HP franchise has historically engaged in antisemitic tropes with regards to depiction/characterisation of goblins...yeah, it's not a good look, imo & feels very uncomfortable to me.
I think that the whole frenzy in 2020 turned it from a more wholesome hobby to more of a cash grab, and now people are salty that the cash has gone to be honest.
Kaylee Ellen, Jenna brought me to your channel. You kept me through the pandemic and I love your videos! Thanks for your humor and positive vibes!!!
I'm glad you haven't lost your love of horses. I'd been concerned with everything going on that you'd have been soured to them, I'm so glad that's not the case. I've been wanting to get back into horses myself (after many years away) but still can't afford it, so I'm invested in your journey!
An empty vs filled house tour would be interesting. Spaces change when we start adding our own stuff to them. Also, plant chores would be interesting too.
Keep doing you, Kaylee.
Can't wait for the harry Potter game either! it looks amazing. The boycott thing was in regard to JK Rowling and her views on trans people etc, people want us to boycott the game because she gets money from it and uses that money to donate to some places that work against trans rights (I think?) I don't remember exactly but essentially it has to do with her problematic views and nothing about the game itself.
The whole situation around leaving your old job definitely resonates with me.
I left working as a practicing Solicitor for the top rated firm in my area of practice, to pursue my passion for horticulture and felt much the same about having the qualifications and previous career I could always fall back on but opportunities were opening up. It's damn tough at times but I genuinely love every bit of it (apart from the admin 🤣) and haven't looked back.
And I definitely count you as an inspiration for me making the leap, plus having great support really helps, exactly as you said.
thanks for the Tea Kaylee! love your honesty! love the house tour, and the GoPro idea! I wait every Fridays on your video's and never reply but keep it up! you did grow as a person so much just like your plants!
A request if you do the GoPro video-- could you try not to move super fast?? I get motion sickness really easily even on my phone but I would LOVE to see that!!!
I love your video ideas.
I also cannot understand anyone who isn't interested in your horse story. Even if they don't care about horses, the story is about so much more than that. You are wonderful and a very interesting person. Carry on!
Contrapoints does a fantastic review of JK Rowling and the controversy behind her.
When I was a kid I got thrown off a horse, and it took me a long long time to get over the intense anxiety from just being around them after that. I'm so sorry your first horse ownership experience sucked and I really hope you're able to click with a new horse and have that fear go away. Horses have been such good therapy to me over the years, so here's hoping you have that soon!
Love the idea of POV plant chores!!!
I’d love to see the plant chores POV!
I have gravitated back to gardening. I collected natural science specimens. Since I didn’t go out in the wild actively collecting , I got tired of the consumerism, the consumer mindset. I have discovered that I lean toward being a producer/maker and not a consumer. Working with plants has components of being a producer and also of being a nurturer. *That is more satisfying.
Id love to see a timlapse of your running around the shop... could be entertaining lol love the POV idea
my head lovessss to edit your videos similar to jnj memes or the fkn kermit the dog edits, and i make myself laugh. Girl just do ur thing , we just vibin'
Really enjoyed your video today. Yes, would love to see empty house tour, and I like your idea of puttering around with a camera!
Having great knowledge about botanics is great, sharing it is wonderful, but shaming other people in the plant community for not knowing stuff is just unfair and crappy. Why are people mean to each other?
Love the idea of a plant chores POV! Just moved interstate and had to get rid of all my plants and I miss doing plant chores!
Loving the Horse updates… but I’d say I can wait for a full update. I’m so sad that you have to deal with that. I feel like you’re u are the age of my sons so I feel a bit protective about you.
I’m on Team Kaylee!!🙏🏻🥰
I’m a GenX doctor. WoW got me through residency, fellowship, and an MBA (I just did solo pet collecting/questing for the most part. Our guild used to hardcore raid in LK, but went casual as more people dropped off due to RL). You helped create a well-rounded American physician. 😘
Thanks for the honesty..It's refreshing..so tired of plant keepers acting like its all peachy all the time
Love the POV idea!
Before and after house tour? Maybe show how it is now and what your vision is. After you move in you can show how it turned out and talk about what you had to adapt to make it work.
Regarding the hogwarts game, i guess the video might have been talking about jkr as a person and her being a terf. tbh for me it's enough of a reason to boycott the game, but there are many reasons to still love it.
Agree. I love all things HP, but absolutely devastated that JK turned out to be a transphobe and I don’t like seeing her make a fortune off her fans that feel betrayed.
Fingers crossed for you and Bobby! I agree on the community but; it's across the board generally...
Social media has made us more tribal and divisive, which lends to the toxicity. This age of tech has made us seek like minded people, however you will never agree with people 100%. I'm recently back into plants for about about the past year. Last time, which was 15 years ago(yikes), people could agree to disagree. I feel like there's this urge for uniformity of opinion. It truly has become tribalistic, so nowadays I don't post other than my flowering orchids or whatever is positive.
Not worth forcing people's opinion into a homogenized blob, so I just try to be the change I wish to see in the world instead.
The Harry Potter boycott is because jk rowling is aggressively transphobic and says she doesn't care about backlash because she's continuing to get royalty checks
hi, the plant wall whatever sounds great, I would love to do one for a school project and would actually love to know how you did yours and what works and what does not. Also POV plant with me sounds super great! About your house... I wished you'd wait as it feels like you're not fully happy with your new home and I'd love for you to settle in first and have some time for yourself there :-) anyways, wish you great week
The boycott on hogwarts legacy is a lot of things, the plot is based on antisemitic stereotypes, the lead designer had a TH-cam channel with lots of right-wing views and just J.K. Rowling being a transphobe
Thank you for the Invisalign update.
My k9s won't move either.
I should be done in January as well. Maybe need more refinements. Eek.
Also as a woman in IT field we do get paid way less. It's crazy.
Take care there Kaylee and get your skin , body and soul needs fulfilled.
First and foremost your body and mind should be in the right place where you want them to be.
When You are feeling good , you can Tackle everything .
Take care there you lovely British Plant Lady .
Greetz from the Black Forest/ Germany 🐣
Yes!!! POV plant chores. I love that idea.
I think it's different for someone like you as a TH-camr and shop owner as it's your profession. Your opinion, experiences and knowledge are taken more seriously since you are an influencer. That said, I've been following you a while and value your information and how you present it. You don't say "this is how you have to do it" just how you have experienced it and you're passing that on to us as viewers.
Empty house sounds fun, but I’d really love to see you going to antique shops to find pieces or something like that. Also anything you DIY for the space or plants
Every day scientists discover more about how nature works so even with a qualification there is loads more to learn. And by experimenting and trying you learn a lot. I went to university but learned most of what I know later on. You have loads of experience and share it, successes and failures and new insights ( things you thought were greatgrowers and turned out not so good and vice versa ) and that counts for way more than a piece of paper. And go-pro, yes unless I get seasick if it moves to much ;)
I’m a frontend developer and I can relate with some of the things you said about your old job with previous companies I worked for, it can suck. Individually most of the people are cool, as people to work with not so much.
I was once able to save a baby alocasia azlanii that was rotting, tiny tiny corm. Cut off the rot as much as I could and ended up with half of the corm (it was smaller than my pinky fingernail) dunked it into hydrogen proxyde and then just kep it in pon, watering it carefully. Luckily it started growing back. It’s still small, but it has 3 leaves. I think one of the reasons was that it wasn’t rotting from the roots, but from what looked like a cut on one leaf that I only noticed once it started rotting.
I took Horticulture classes and I still kill plants. I don't know everything I just do what works for me and my plants.
I totally agreed with you about the plant community has changed so much, not as friendly as it used to be.. lots of not nice attitudes and pretentious around.
I work in videogames for over 15 years, I know exactly what you mean and why you are being vague about it. If you ever want to come back to games, please give me a nudge and I will give my personal details. My network is pretty solid and I know which studios really care about having a decent culture
I would like to see a before and after tour of the house. It is fun to watch how it progresses!
beyond thrilled in the gopro idea tbh. you've been through like SO much, you deserve to just thrive. honestly i was never super involved in any plant communities online, largely couldn't be bothered, like watching youtube and following a few ppl on instagram is more than enough for me. i have such a gripe with that whole "you need a certification" thing, not even from just plants, there are other places online where it was quite bad at times. like, i literally have had 0 education in plants, entirely self taught just for fun, and while i can identify nearly every native plant to my area, and identify most plants i see regardless, i'd never dare say any of that near a plant community because i just know someone would try to argue with me lol
Kaylee thank you so much for saying that you don’t need to have a plant degree to enjoy plants.
I have driven up to 12 hours to buy plants I wanted (atabapoense and billietiae) but never ventured to buy ones shipped.. and I’m just a photographer.
Family portrait, not even nature lol.
But I love them, and one of my favourite plants is also a green heart leaf philodendron.
I’m also a basic bitch who has a cabinet and some “rare” guys but it’s not a flex, and it shouldn’t be.
thanks for this post. I watched till the end . wish to visit your shop if it’s in London
I can't wait to find out about Bobby....I did think he would be losing weight swimming and I knew he would be safe.can I say that I knew you were a good kind girl when you gave Bobby his name back....anyway...hello👋I'm working my way thro all your videos....❤️
Empty house tour seems awesome! especially later when you compare it with "done" house
Will your plant feed be available in the U.S.? 🤞
Before and after house tour!
POV is a great idea!
Hi Kaylee, since you asked about the boycott of the newest Harry Potter game, I'll just answer and let you know it because the guy in charge of it (cannot remember if he is a producer or head developer. Maybe both? Anyway, thus will give you enough info to know what to look for if you want to research more) was revealed to be a far right fascist (obviously the game making profits for transphobic JK also has something to do with the boycott, but the guy I charge of the game itself is a real nasty piece of work.)
Sorry about the typos. My DCD and autocorrect aren't friends.
Oh yes, absolutely would love PoV Plant Chores!!! Edit: That video title you saw about boycotting the new HP game, it's literally nothing. There are so many negative comments about how bad the video is. The creator of the video just made it for views, I promise it's rubbish.
Personally, I care more about seeing what type and layout of house you chose to go with than the way it sounds when empty. I think a before and after video is brilliant 👏. Plus, I know your 🏠 is going to be condusiveive for house plants. I've already told my husband that when we move, our new home has to have big south facing windows 🪟 🙃.
Hello! I’m so curious. I’m taking accounting college classes in the US and would like to know (if you are willing to give a little info on it) How the heck do you do inventory when you can chop and prop. Creating inventory from inventory on the books seems like it would be a shit show!
Now the plant question: Is it on the table for you to make a video about technical stuff, I'm mean PPFD for different plant varieties, spectrums, nutrition (NPK and other stuff), some interesting experiments, etc.
Plant chores pov! Yes please! I have soo much plant stuff to do and that’s actually why I’m here trying give myself the motivation to get up and actually do it. Lol
Love your content! I think your are the most lovely open hilarious funny plant gal. Your teeth are beautiful, your gorgeous. Keep on keeping on 💯!!!
I would still love a green wall video. In fact I learn more from “mistakes” so if you did a “what not to do green wall” everyone always does the pros/perfect side of things but rarely do they mention the cons or problems they’ve run into and the ladder I find more helpful. Js🤷♀️
Hope you keep doing videos. I get a lot of info from the USA. But not always relevant to the uk. Love your TH-cam stuff keep it up. Praying you do well in the future 🙏
Gatekeeping is a thing. Also: old fucks on the web who have no idea about internet etiquette. You "!!!"-writers.... you know who you are.
You could turn the house tour into a series. Lots of content potential. Like the shop series but less fancy editing.
I would watch the plant chores!
Yes!!! I watch food videos pov videos !!! I really love asmr !
Lol dude i’d love to see everything you’re talking about. I think the DMs video could be good insight. I wish you luck with the horse, much love ❤
The Harry Potter thing is jk thingys comments which are not the best.
I like the pov idea. May be good for more intricate things.
The house tour is fine when you feel its right for you we can wait. And good luck. Also I have still got stuff in boxes and I moved into my house 11 plus years ago. Judge away!
Have fun
What did she supposedly say? Perhaps people need to get a grip! She said only humans born female can menstruate. Perhaps you b eed find the truth.
@@lisawhittaker5680 she's been ver negative to trans people
@@pinkyysk by saying a fact they don't want to acknowledge?
Plant tour POV would be cool. Empty house and garden tour, an unpack with me, a build furniture with me, anything! I’m just so happy for you. I want to experience your joy and accomplishments with you ❤
“Swing it in your own time”!!! 😅😅
I’m a frontend developer and I can relate with some of the things you said about your old job with previous companies I worked for, it can suck. Individually most of the people are cool, as people to work with not so much.

I think an empty house tour would be super fun, assuming you’re comfortable with it! Especially for you to look back on once everything is decorated to your liking, you can see how far you’ve come!
47:50 YESSS thank you!! But it’s not just the plant community. It’s everywhere! I love me some video games too and I enjoy Markiplier, jacksepticeye, and a handful of others and the comments are filled w ppl calling them idiots and ripping em apart for a choice in a VIDEO GAME as if they’re suppose to have a masters degree in playing video games which I think is soo silly. And the plant community can be even worse, most plant channels are creators sharing their experiences, but their are some who have a degree in horticulture/soil science etc. but ppl choose to watch the creators who don’t have those degrees and complain about em not having it instead of just going to the channels that do! And what really gets under my skin w this whole thing is that what works for some may not work for others especially when it comes to plants! Which is something I have always found beauty in. I have about 4-5yrs worth of house plant experience, my friend has closer/over 10yrs we do a lot of things very different, I prefer top watering she swears by bottom watering, we may poke fun at one another like recently I gave her a cutting and it rotted and I was like “well that’s cuz you bottom water” I killed an Alocasia she’ll say “let guess you water boarded it”. It’s silly, but it’s fun, and bc we both go about plants differently we tend to have helpful idea/suggestions that the other hasn’t considered during a rescue mission or styling choice. Idk when the “I know more I’m better than you” vibe started spreading like spider mites within the community but I hate it. My friend works in a plant shop and ppl will come in w a half dead plant asking for advice and she’ll tell what she has done or what they do at the shop and the customer will tell em that they’re wrong and shouldn’t work there if they don’t know anything. And it’s like then why tf did you ask?? It’s soo ridiculous anymore.
A Home Tour for real world lighting world be great! If course your plant styling would be the bonus
Plant chores POV...YES!
I don't know actually why, but I like personal life videos more than plant content)
Hehehehehe so funny! I have been feeling the same way in regard to people being chill.
I'm just here to say i'm mesmerized by your eye makeup :D
Hi Kaylee an empty house video would be great to see the space as it is and a follow up with furniture in it would be great, good on you for going with your gut and taking the leap and being your own boss, as for not having a back ground in plants who cares like not everyone is a sex therapist but we all know how to do it and crack an orgasim, need I say more. ! Thanks for sharing with us enjoyable video as always.
Guess I'm going to have to dig deeper in some of your older videos. I'd love to know what game company you used to work for. Love hearing behind-the-scenes stuff about that industry. It's a shame so many companies have such a toxic work environment.
I am an HVAC technician and I would love to see the heating and humidifiers you use in your shop so the GoPro idea sounds great to me.
I don't follow the gaming world at all, but if there's a call for a boycott of a Harry Potter game, I'd assume it's because J.K. Rowling is profiting off of it, and she continues to be atrociously transphobic.
How is she 'atrociously transphobic'? By stating a fact? Get a grip.
I have a topic for future video - "New monstera/philodendron" some new things, or it is only new names of old stuff - i still don't know, but i love to hear you what you think. Sorry for horrible english, greatings from Bulgaria!
I would love to see a video of you just pottering x
