    No green thumb here, but you gave me the courage to attempt repotting a plant that I named Hope. Because everyday I hope she's alive. I've known for while, she deserved a bigger space, but my fear held me back. But today after hearing encouragement, I feel brave and excited to give Hope a new larger home in which to thrive and grow up in. Thank you 😊 💓

    I was absolutely satisfied with this video after the demonstration of re-potting. Your message before the video ends was truly the cherry on top. Magnificent. I too believe we have plant-like traits. Our roots are invisible but the product of absorbing life and making lemonade wherever we go is our bodies. If we treat Life with respect, Life will grant us so many blessings. Thank you, brother.

    Oh wow, the ending was so unexpected but was much needed. I’ve been putting off repotting my plants cause I’ve been scared I might do it wrong and kill them in the process. Thanks for the motivation! Also, I love your interactive way of teaching. I usually skip through intros and jump into what I actually searched for but your video was so interesting I couldn’t skip

    Thank you. I'm so new to this and not had success with repotting. I've always put far too much soil at the top and when watering, the water would run off. Tip well received. I have a beautiful Croton that I'm trying to keep colorful and most importantly ALIVE!
