I was so sick when I got home from vacation. 😩 The California heat, the weather, and the never-ending walking under the sun definitely took a toll on me. Apparently I needed a vacation after my vacation.

But today I’m finally feeling well enough to get back to work, and of course, the first place I ended up was with my plants.

Look at this Pink Chantrieri I started multiplying few months ago! 😍 She’s definitely ready to come out.

Now I’m staring at it trying to decide… do I subculture and keep multiplying it, or do I stop being greedy and actually plant it? 😂

The tissue culture side of me says MULTIPLY.
The impatient plant collector side of me says PLANT IT.

Decisions, decisions. 😂

Quick little update!

I'll be back on August 11 and will start shipping orders again as soon as I'm home. Thanks so much for your patience while I'm away! ❤️

In the meantime... California is wild. 😂 There are cacti everywhere. Not in a botanical garden... just casually outside buildings like this.

They say you can spot a prick from a mile away... well, I guess I found a whole neighborhood of them. 🌵

I'll still check messages when I can, but replies might be a little slower than usual. See you all soon! 💚

PLANT PICKUP UPDATE 🌿

If you have a plant waiting for pickup—whether it’s from the purge or a RareForm Botanics preorder from the last show, please book a pickup appointment here:

https://calendar.app.google/Ew1oR7Hb1q9LRuRk9

I’ll be away from August 4–11, and pickups will resume on August 13. If possible, please pick up tomorrow or Friday before I leave. If the calendar is full or none of the available times work for you, send me a message, and we can arrange something.

If your order needs to be shipped and I haven’t shipped it yet, it will go out after I return on August 11.

If you have any questions, just shoot me a message. I may not be able to reply tonight, but I’ll get back to you tomorrow for sure. Unfortunately, I haven’t slept in 24 hours, so my brain has officially clocked out before the rest of me. 😂

The purge will resume when I get back, but preorders will still be available. I’ll be adding more plants to the website every day. Once I’m finished adding all the available stock, I’ll tag everyone, but feel free to visit the website and check in the meantime!

Thank you so much for your patience, your orders, and for continuing to support Roots and Shoots. I truly appreciate everyone of you! 💚

Plant Pick-Up by Appointment Only

To make sure I'm available and your order is ready, all plant pickups are by appointment only.

Please book a pickup time that works for you. If your preferred time is blocked or unavailable, it means I already have another appointment, or I'm unavailable during that time. Choose another available time.

Please wait for your appointment confirmation before coming by, as I may be out picking up shipments, packaging orders, or working with plants.

Thank you for your understanding and for helping keep pickups running smoothly. I appreciate all of your support!

Just a quick update! I won't be posting the inventory purge or preorders until later this afternoon. I'm currently on my way to the airport to pick up a new shipment.

Once I get everything home and sorted, I'll start posting the inventory purge, preorders, and whatever amazing plants are available from today's shipment. As always, quantities will be limited, so keep an eye on the page if you've been waiting for something special.

See you all later this afternoon!

Good morning, everyone!

I just woke up and I'm definitely going to need a lot of coffee and a couple of Advil after spending all day walking around K-Days the other day. 😂

I'll be opening preorders this morning, then I'll be doing an inventory purge later this afternoon.

All preorder prices are set at wholesale pricing for a limited time, with limited quantities available.

Stay tuned, I have lots of goodies coming your way this week.

I'll be opening wholesale options again to business.

I have posted a preorder for melo albo last night for $75 in case you missed it. This would be preorder price only. I also have wholesale prices.

Inventory Purge Announcement!

It's finally time! Starting Monday, July 20, I'll be doing a full inventory purge to make room for all the new rare plants I've been working on.

Everything must go! I'll be clearing out existing stock, including plants that have been growing out and ready for new homes.

I won't be posting a set start time just yet. I'll announce it on the day and give everyone a few hours notice before the sale goes live, so keep an eye on the page and group. Please join Roots and Shoots Tropicals where I will be posting all what's available.

If you've been waiting to add something special to your collection, this will be a great opportunity. Once these plants are gone, many won't be restocked as I shift focus to bringing in new and even rarer varieties.

Stay tuned... Next week is going to be fun!
