Yay! Thank you @sarahsalith for putting all of this together! 🙌🏼 I can’t wait to donate a piece of my oasis to @KikiGoldblatt 🌿💚
@sarahsalith Oh! You should add Grow Lights to the form and #SpringIntoSummer this so the plant can go to her ☺️
@KikiGoldblatt we are here for you! If you need help never be afraid to ask! There are resources to help! We are wishing you the best!!!
I hope you’re doing ok @KikiGoldblatt 🙏 brighter days are ahead 🌱❤️
Thank you @sarahsalith for coordinating, it means a lot!
Thank you @sarahsalith for coordinating, it means a lot!
I would like to send grow lights. I asked Kiki to let me know so the lights can start arriving before plants do. Thank you @sarahsalith for creating this post.
@pjavier I was thinking and maybe you could send her some VSS? I could also send her SS but I don’t know if she will have room for both or which one she likes best @KikiGoldblatt
@Kiersten @sarahsalith is there anything else that Kiki needs, Sarah maybe an Amazon wishlist/registry and people can help out that way as well? @FitSedum mentioned grow lights which is brilliant!
@sarahsalith I will take a look when I get home to see what I have from her list.
Thanks for organizing our efforts, and do let us know if there are non-plant items we can donate as well.

@AggroResting all we know is that she’s lost all of her plants and is living elsewhere. It’s devastating. We are trying to help her recreate her garden and entire setup.
@FitSedum omg thats terrible 😞 Im very sorry to hear that hope you are safe @KikiGoldblatt . I will take a look when I get home and see what I can do
@kaleena I have links to more grow lights but I’m thinking about shelving maybe? @sarahsalith do you know if @KikiGoldblatt will need plant stands? Maybe add that to the list if so?
@HyggeVibes 😁 I haven't gotten all they way down the thread yet, but I added this link. https://greg.app/post/274YMA/
@sarahsalith I had contacted Kiki and asked about the lights. I think we may want to put it together in a gift card so Kiki can order/buy anything else they may need. The issue is that everything may come from different places. Gift cards can be from Amazon or any home store. Is there a way to get Kiki’s input on what they need or had in real time inventory so that the items other than plants won’t be over-purchased?
@sarahsalith form completed, I don't trust myself to package a plant correctly 😂 I chose the other option instead.
This community is absolutely amazing and the sheer volume of love for @KikiGoldblatt is why I love this community ❤️

@tmbryant37 I think that for now, maybe a donation for a gift card to replace shelves or pots and plant things would be good. You know, until she is settled.
@sarahsalith I said this after I saw your form. I think PayPal or cash is perfect. That way she can use it for getting on her feet in ways other than plants too. She won’t need 20 lights or pots.
@sarahsalith yes, that’s what I was worried about. I’ll take sone cuttings from my succulents that are doing extremely well and ship them over too. Anything to help.
@fitsedum @sarahsalith I think an Amazon Wishlist would be the best way to do this. You can turn on settings to show how # many you need of any items on the list, and then it shows how many have been bought and how many are still needed. It will also hide the sender's name, if the sender chooses and addresses can be hidden, for privacy reasons, if wanted.
btw:
I just discovered that empty TP tubes are great for shipping succulent leaves! I stuffed one end of the tube with some paper towel, added the succulent leaves, then added another balled up paper towel to plug the other end of the TP tube. Put some strips of tape on both ends to secure it shut, but it can still "breathe". I wrote on the tube what's inside. Then I put them in a small box with some bubble wrap leftover from an Amazon box.
I let them dry/callus shut for 2 days beforehand.
Shipped from Arlington, VA to FL - I've never shipped clippings before this, but I'm hopeful and feeling 80% confident it should work out!!

I’ve created a list and will invite @KikiGoldblatt to it to update it with quantities. @sarahsalith Thank you @ShibaSunroom
@sarahsalith thanks however the credit goes to @ShibaSunroom. I just hurried to create it and sent the email invite for editing to Kiki. I will share the list link once it’s updated. Anything to help. Plants do make people happy!
@sarahsalith I was thinking about putting a order to plant proper for her will that work, I can complete the form with the ones I have picked out
Wish I could help!! @sarahsalith @KikiGoldblatt Im close to becoming homeless myself 😅😅 I’ll try to send something when I can! Even if it’s a bag of soil or a watering can of some sort 💕💕
@sarahsalith let me know what you find our!! I know Kristy loves seeing all our plant proper orders, and @jcPlantProper said they could make it work!! Plant Proper also gas digital gift cards!!
Absolutely! Thank you so much @sarahsalith for taking the lead.
We are here for you, genuinely @KikiGoldblatt , please know that! We care for you and want the best for you, but most importantly, Jehovah God loves you! 💚💚

@sarahsalith I filled out the form but I can only send cuttings of the plants I listed. Is that ok? What if someone checked the same plant? Will @KikiGoldblatt get more than one 🤗?
@OKIEgrnthmb you know, just send it to me and I'll add it to the rest of the stash. I'll send you an email soon. If you fill it out on the form, then we can count it as covered ... and don't forget the sale today!
@pjavier or give @KikiGoldblatt my address so she can come "shopping" at my house! 🤣
But then I won't have almost 400 plants!
I'm planning on packaging them up and sending them to her. UPS can deliver really quickly in the same state.

@sarahsalith I have a plant proper gift card I was saving for myself but would love to give it to @KikiGoldblatt 🤍 filled out the form!
Woah, now @pjavier - slow your roll.
Well ... I guess @KikiGoldblatt can have more plants than I have. 😉

@jcPlantProper I put in a order, would like to ship the Thailand and tineke to Sarah @sarahsalith for Kikis Plants!!!
@jcPlantProper I know Sarah said just send to her. Then she will ship all of the plants together.
My order # is 30989, if you need to add more shipping for two different locations that is 100% okay!!!

@jcPlantProper ooh- that's a good idea! I only know of @OKIEgrnthmb at the moment. I'd have to reread the whole thread to verify, BUT I've really got to do the dishes before my husband gets home.
He's gonna think I've been on my plant app all day long! 🤣

Ahhh @sarahsalith this is the best thing ever. Happy to help however I can…would love to contribute to an Amazon or Plant Proper card so she can fill in her gaps with it! @FitSedum please do share that link, I think you were the one who mentioned it. Hard to follow in this thread bec there’s just so much love for @KikiGoldblatt …we got you, girl!
@lemrobs it's like a big family dinner and everybody is talking to everybody else! 😉 It kind of reminds me of a #WhatTheSuccWednesday or a #FreshLeafFriday!
@Blau_Ozean you know- that's a good idea. I can put together some tips and if folks need help, there will be references.
@sarahsalith pls, I’ve only shipped once & overnighted it because I was not sure it would make it normal post 😂
@sarahsalith I filled out the form but noted that I’d likely stick to sending a monetary donation or things like plant stands, pots or lights, cause I have no idea how to ship plants, especially to different countries. 😅 but like @Blau_Ozean said, I’d love some advice on how! Would be happy to send plants if it’s possible.
And thank you!! 💕 So far it’s been a great day. 😊

I already ordered her 2 surprises from plantproper yesterday, please don’t be disheartened if I don’t join in! 🌿💚💚 @sarahsalith @jcPlantProper
@jcPlantProper I would try and get new/different plants if possible to her list just in case she gets her collection back at some point and they’re okay.
@jcPlantProper ummm so can I just order with you since you know what’s coming in & have the address 🤣🤣🤣
So, after schooling myself in proper species names and doing some Googling, I think I can manage to send some cuttings! As a bonus, they are actually all ready to go! Looking forward to hearing more about sending these to Auntie Kiki.
For those who have sent cuttings before, how does this method sound?

@sarahsalith thank you so much for starting this thread for me. I also want to add Happy Happy Houseplant food/fertilizer if I may. I love 💕 that stuff thanks to @jcPlantProper. I need to get worm castings as well. I will get the soil, orchid bark, and perlite myself. But I know I have a huge bag left at where I got kicked out of. It was a huge bag about as tall as I was. I ordered it from Amazon. I just want my plants to have the best opportunity for growth and survival. I also know I’m sure I’ll have a ton of pots to use because of my dead plants. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #GregGang and every one else I so appreciate you all so so much. 🤗 and 💕 to you all.
@AggroResting @KikiGoldblatt has lost all her plants and personal items due to personal issues. She wrote a message about everything yesterday. 🙂
@sarahsalith something kept telling me not to spend it yet. And now I’m glad I didn’t. I’ll give you code when I get your email 🤍
Thanks @sarahsalith for starting this. Ive filled in the form. I live oceans away so realistically I cant send a plant. Im happy to donate via paypal. N perhaps Kiki can choose plant(s) of her choice.
@KikiGoldblatt You're in our thoughts and prayers.
@KikiGoldblatt You're in our thoughts and prayers.
@strawberrymoon my sweet and darling Airi this community has been amazing. I wanna say a word from my past, awesomesauce. I am beyond amazed at the love and support I have gotten. I’ll message you thru Facebook on what happened. I love 💕 you.
@KikiGoldblatt i love you too!!! i’m sorry that i can’t send you anything of my own but i’m glad all the amazing greggers in the US are able to send you their plants and help rebuild your collection <3 and yea i agree!!! greg is the most wholesome social media ive ever come across lol
Thank you for putting all this together @sarahsalith! I just filled out to form, and would be honored to help @KikiGoldblatt rebuild her oasis!
@sarahsalith did you receive my form? I’d love to send @KikiGoldblatt an aloe and the echeveria agavoides 💚
Done! @KikiGoldblatt is one of the reasons I’ve fallen in love with this app and this community! I have never felt so welcomed! 💖💖 Sending you much love
@MotherOfOrchids you have always posted such amazing pics of Orchids. Your amazing. I’m working my way up on answering you all. Thank you guys so much.
@sarahsalith this is like Christmas morning…My parents are like let me finish this cup of coffee…they can drink WHILE we open 🤣
@sarahsalith do you have a Venmo or PayPal for $ donations? Or perhaps a gift card? I am not sure if I can send a plant haha
just filled out the form! would be so so honored to contribute a small piece of kristy’s new oasis 💚 totally agree with @poisonivy213 @PlantyPlanter @Sassylimey @kaleena and others: @KikiGoldblatt has been a cornerstone of our greg community, and i would love to support her during this difficult time — the idea of an amazon wishlist registry was a great idea! i hope that she feels the love from the #GregGang, and knows that we’ve got her back 💚
@sarahsalith This is absolutely AMAZING!! You are such a thoughtful and selfless person to put this all together for her! @KikiGoldblatt I’m so, so sorry you are going through this. You have radiated nothing but kindness since I first joined this community and I pray for nothing but the best for you! You definitely don’t deserve what has been thrown at you. God will let you face situations that you think you can’t handle alone, but He will never leave you alone! And he’ll never set you up to fail! You got this! You will look back on this dark time in your life one day and smile because you got yourself through it. Keep your chin up, you’ve got your whole GREG family rooting for you! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
@Vinxy2 I would TOTALLY do that under a new post with #DealAlert in the body! I'm going to go look them up. (:
@sarahsalith How are you going to pay? Besides I have plenty of stamps I’m an active letter writer ☺️
Is the address the same one that #KikisNewPlants are going to?

@sarahsalith I don’t know if you got my email but I have to leave for a band camp in a few hours and would like to get my cuttings on the way to Kiki. Should I send the cuttings strait to Kristen or could you email me another place I should send them?
@Lotsofplants I'm so sorry I missed this notification! I sent you an email about five days ago and another three days ago. Check your spam- it might have ended up there.
Have fun a band camp!!

@OKIEgrnthmb I have send out all the emails to all the amazing folks who have offered to help. Now we wait. (:
@Honeyharbin @sarahsalith I think has my email if not I’ll give it to her.
