I appreciated the honesty. A company with integrity would have addressed the issue instead of unfollowing you! It would only work in their favor. Shortsighted on their part.

Thank you 🥹🤗 I was thinking the same thing because I feel like as a product that is heavily influenced through affiliate marking they should address the concerns. I was even under the impression it was an aerated mix and I think there’s a lot of confusion around that. They did put a water warning on their website though.

All these little plugs are too stinkin cayute!! I especially love ordering tiny little plugs because they acclimate and just ship and thrive better compared to mature larger plants that I first bring home. I come back to this shop a lot because of their consistency it can't be beat which is such a rare thing to find on Etsy. Also, I want you to know that I truly appreciate your honest opinions and if someone running a business cannot handle constructive criticism that's just going to hurt their own success. You are what makes your content so genuine and between the work you put into your plants and this channel, it's just a pretty amazing thing that you do

I love baby plants. There’s something so rewarding about growing them from nothing/hardly a leaf or two and seeing them get big, moving them up pots, moss poles, etc. I rescued a poor three leaf Philo Subhastum for $5 from my big box store (they have a special $5 for baby 4.5cm pot section) and it had been sitting there for weeks on end. Now it’s happily moved up a pot and boasting some bigger beautiful leaves. I love the $5 baby section, I always scout it for good ones!

Ive ordered from TGE a few times, always had a great experience until my most recent one- I ordered a variegated vanilla orchid, and received one that was entirely unvariegated. I assumed it was an honest, simple mistake, so I reached out to their customer service. Their response was to essentially call me stupid ( not in those words, it was just an undertone ), tell me that the plant will ‘become variegated with age’ ( except I’ve seen much smaller cuttings and plugs of variegated vanilla plants ). I took their word for it. It’s been a few months, my vanilla has grown like a weed, and still not a single sign of variegation. So I suppose that left a sour taste in my mouth; I think some things with their store can be a bit misleading. But, every other plant I’ve received from them is beautiful and still doing well, so I can’t complain 💚

I ordered a bunch of "plants" through The Green Escape spring/summer 2022. I had never ordered plants online or on Etsy. The "plants" I ordered from TGE were overpriced plugs with that death netting around them. I finally figured it out and stopped ordering from them. I ordered many plants from Etsy last summer. My experience was, the sellers sent out plants that were in bad shape, no one would buy in person! I contacted the seller and told them that, and my money was refunded and I was told to keep the plants. Lesson learned. I enjoy your channel and love 👀 your plants. Have a blessed summer. I wrote this before I saw the vid.

😂 I knew they would be small but definitely smaller than I thought. I think they’re so cute though. I’d order again for sure!

Nice picks. I like Green Escape. They have great selections and I’m a sucker for starter plants. Where is your 4th? They do buy three, get one free. Always sucks me in. I also highly recommend PaperCrane nursery. Best packaging I’ve ever seen and starters are bigger than expected. Wow, you’d think the soil guys would want to work with you to improve the product, not rage quit. Especially when preventing root rot is one of the major selling points. Appreciate the honest feedback.

I’ve looked on paper crane but haven’t purchased yet 👀 and I didn’t know about the 4th plant 😩 agreed and thank you! They messaged me a couple times to get an understanding but decided to unfollow the next day it definitely says a lot about their character and business. At least they put a water warning on their website. I imagine they’ll change their packaging because it doesn’t say anything about not watering for 10-14 days per their recommendation.

Any nursery is in their busiest time of the year so patience is needed. Sometimes it the carrier is the problem. Everything is slower now.

Love having new little babies to watch grow. Waiting a little bit to be shipped out, especially due to weather, is worth it. I’d rather wait then have a dead plant on arrival.

I purchased from Green Escapes back in January. I got three Philo starters. So far they’re doing well. They did take a while to ship and they did have a message about it. I reached out to the seller and she was very responsive and gave me an accurate eta. So I’d buy from them again.

I completely disagree with not removing the mesh plug. I've ordered from them and the plugs and I didn't remove the mesh, at first order hindered the plants growing. That's my experience. Really cool plants, Thank you for the video!

@plantsbymelissa Жыл бұрын

I’m not a fan of plugs at all but I’ll see how they grow for me here. I can always remove once they settle in. I don’t like to mess with the root system right away 🙏🏼

I’ve been so apprehensive to order from the GreenEscape again. My first/last order had spider mites and they didn’t respond to me about it. Everything ended up dying except my japonica that I was able to save somehow. She’s currently thriving though & 4x the size she was when I got her. 🥰

oh no, They're very tiny so I'm going to see how these ones go before I decide to order again from them. Sorry to hear you had a bad experience that's not good :(

Did you know they are running a special if you buy three plants you can choose a fourth $15 starter for free? I didn't see it til after I placed my order which I'm still waiting for too. Coming on two weeks now. Happy planting!

I have ordered dozens and dozens of plants from them. The low prices and B3G4F deal allows you to try out (and potentially kill) lots of plants you might feel awful about if you paid more for a large plant. I’ve gotten pretty much ALL of my Alocasia (except my Variegated Frydek) from them. I will say you will want to check for “death pots”, depending on the plant. Most starters come as peat plugs, but I’ve come across some with plastic or mesh. Overall, I absolutely love The Green Escape.

@monsteraetc Жыл бұрын

Also…that Mickey Mouse Alocasia has been the biggest spider mite plant in my collection. I literally keep a beneficial mite sachet on the two I have 24/7/365 (I have a subscription to @NaturesGoodGuys).

Thanks for sharing! I appreciate it! Spider mites love me for some reason so I’ll have to keep a close eye on it 🙃
