You are such a nice crazy plant guy to share such info, knowing they could be your competitor at the same area. You deserve more viewers and customers. God bless you

Thank you for sharing. I've been in business for almost two years now, still running fully out if my house, shipping online and doing pop ups. I appreciate finding ppl in the community like you! No one likes a gatekeeper. We can grow together ❤

Hey Christian, can you do a video on how to find a reliable supplier for variegated and rare plants? The dos and donts, mistakes to avoid, how to acclimate, maybe some tissue culture suppliers and acclimation as well?

Christian! I’d love to see a vid on “building your online presence and community “. ☺️ This video was amazing and so helpful. It’s still on my list to make it up there to visit you someday soon!!! 😃

I JUST quit my job to open an online plant shop and my goal is to eventually get a brick and mortar location. Thank you for your transparency and tips, it’s so encouraging and inspiring to see how the steps all work together.

Salamat for the information and honesty, Christian. I’m not planning to open a plant shop but working on starting my own business.

Loved this video, thank you for all the information. So many people have no idea what starting a business entails, and they go into it totally unprepared. Thank you for the honesty.

[kellieanderson]

It's been great watching your journey! I hope you have great success, I will live vicariously through you as a plant shop owner!

[squishbean]

Thanks for all this info Christian! I've been salavating at the dream of owning my own plant shop, but the rent for the space alone stops me from thinking much further into it! Really appreciate all your advice, and and and I get super excited when I see that you've posted a video! For now, I'll stick with my side hussle plant shop lol (out of my home) 🌱

Your baby is so cute. Socializing is very important. We took our Labradoodle everywhere. All we have to say is that we are going to see the girls(he loves children especially little girls) and he runs to the truck. Great to see you making some videos. I missed them !!

[slconley]

Thank you so much for sharing! This would be my one of my top dream business ideas :) it’s so so difficult to even know where to start.

[diannenaworensky]

I'm here just because I like to hear what you have to say

[gmatt]

You have a nice plants business there! And I enjoy your beautiful plants and thanks for the great tips 😀
