  1. Plant Foldies is like to see if you counted how many times you heard me say โ€œconsistentโ€ in the video and also your take backs from this video. Please reply on this comment Iโ€™d love to know your thoughts โค

  2. Grow Talks podcast will be the best plant podcast out there ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰

  3. 26:09 I have done videos of local small businesses that are plant stores, but I have not done big box to compare those videos with. I do think that my โ€œplant shopping at such and such local businessโ€ tend to get more traction that some of my other plant YouTube videos. I think that might be the algorithm picking up the key word โ€œshopping.โ€

  4. This video is extremely insightful. Thank you Richie for your thoughtfulness and authenticity.๐Ÿ˜Šโค

  5. I love all the symbolism and analogies about plants when it comes to growing a YouTube channel, as well as personal growth within our own lives.๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š

  6. I love all the content. And I'm looking forward to Cultivation Corner returning.

  7. I do always hype your videos sometimes I have to wait till Monday you tube only lets you hype 3 videos a week donโ€™t know why that is love your videos
