hi everyone it's marianne I'm in san francisco
and i'm going to visit a plant shop it's going to be a quick one because it's a small store
and it's called petite monstera so let's go check it out
the store name is actually petite monstera not le petite monstera
and it's located in washington square in san francisco very easy to get to i just
took the bus to get here
it's a decent sized plant shop that reminds me of little leaf in dc as well as the sill
and as you can see their selection here they have
pretty much the popular plants like the monstera deliciosa
monstera adansonii, the air plants and the ponytail palms
you can see a ruby ficus elastic aat the back
a zz plant some aglaonemas a watermelon pep
below some ficus plants
cactus in a couple of seconds we'll see they're really huge fiddle leaf fig tree or ficus lyrata
it goes all the way up to their ceiling i really love the wallpaper you also have here
this bookshelf with the plants
this big aesthetic i always wanted
to have something like this and more ficus that are really really tall
and some allocasia poly, aglaonema,
hoyas i like that pot a lot some string of dolphins i believe monstera adansonii
money tree ficus audrey i think those are prayer plants of some sort
and i don't know what this plant is oh peace lilly
variegated zz plant watermelon peperomia that's look really really good in that hanging planter
some ferns hoyas calatheas philodendron brasil
some more calatheas rhaphidophra testraspherma and monstera deliciosa
some ferns down here staghorn fern i believe and calatheas of course
i think this is the great star calathea that i mentioned in
my wishlist plants video that i kind of want to get up this year
and i don't know what they said i think this is some sort of
pileas forgot what that plant is probably some form of raphidophra or philodendron
a mature monstera deliciosa and a humidifier they're using
here i think is the levoit one which used to be the popular one
before elecholmes became like the it modifier in the plant community
a huge fern they're great if we can keep them alive
and down here get the watermelon peperomia, pliea peperomoides,
i no longer have mine a huge snake plant cactus and some more of the corn or draceana plant
and i really like those pots i think both them and the sill have the same
supplier because their pots looks very similar and
get more snake plants calatheas this calathea plant i always see it now ever since i mentioned
in my wishlist plant video
that i want to take a chance on plants that
i used to ignore i now see them everywhere like the calatheas the allocasias
and whatnot but i guess it's the year for me to take a plunge from this plants
not a fan of birkins but i like them when they're very variegated like that one
rubber tree ficus altissima peperomias
do i see them everywhere now that i said that
i want them or i want to take a plunge of them in 2022 and fun fact
peperomias are the plant of the year according to the national garden bureau
so maybe this is also your sign to take a chance on pepperomias this year
and i think that's the burrows or
donkey's tail also a great plant to have monstera adansonii arrow form they have lots of those
and yeah that is the tour of petite monstera do check it out if you're ever in san francisco
so that was the le petit monstera i'm gonna do a voiceover or just play music over it
because i didn't want to talk while i was
filming over there and i didn't want to like spend
too much time there knowing i'm not gonna buy any plants since i can't
buy any plants in this trip because i'm going to hawaii next
plus i do have a lot of luggage and i can't really add plants to it
even if i could bring plants to meet the hawaii
and then back to maryland but anyways i'm currently waiting for the bus to go to the sill
and see what they have over there
so it's kind of like my mission to go to every the sill shop in the country
i've been to the one in new york city and i just been
to the one in chicago if you haven't seen those tours i would link them down description
and now i'm checking out the one that they have in san francisco so we'll see what they have
and i'm just waiting for the bus to take me there but yeah i'll see you in the sill
so it's a lot smaller than the one they have in chicago
but i think right about the same size as the one they have in their
new york chinatown location so let's try to go inside let's see what they have
same deal as petite monstera i'm just gonna do a voice over
but as you can see the sill has pretty much the same aesthetic
for every store they have and the layout is pretty much the same depending on the size of the store
and they have great selection of plants as well over here
and as you can see they have this large philodendron rubber tree
over there this large pot of hoya compacta some more rubber trees down here a money tree aloe vera
and i like the grow lights that they use on their shelves and they actually sell
those grow lights in store which i'm pretty
sure i'll show later and they do have a 50% off sale on their holiday plants
so when i visited and filmed this it was right
after christmas not sure if their sales are still
going on but you can go check it out if you're in san francisco
and here they have the soltech solutions aspect
grow light this is the first time i see it in person it's a pretty good light
it's aesthetic but i don't think it really covers a lot of square footage
i also like the prop station that they have there
and we have some more watermelon peperomia
it's everywhere here in san francisco
the sill also have their own brand of plant fertilizer
and a xerographica i got mine from the sill
and they have string of hearts for 25
which i think is a pretty good price for the size and amount of plants that you get
since it's still quite uncommon plant in a lot of places
this calathea pink stripe i'm also seeing everywhere now i actually
saw it at home depot or lowe's in my last plant shop tour in 2021
i like the spray bottle i'm also thinking of coming out with a similar product
in my own etsy store this year so watch out
for that and they also have moisture meters over here so this still have
a lot more plant care stuff than previous the sill
that i've been to they usually just have the plants and the pots
oops i dropped that plant i'm sorry but they have like miniature
plants which i thought was really cute they have like
this really small rubber tree i think that i'm about to show you that is so
cute and i don't know if this would grow big but i think it
would because my tineke is quite large now and started about maybe
just twice the size of that plant
and you got all this polka dot plants i killed mine last year i think that one is a variegated
peace lily something that i'm also thinking about
getting this year we will see and of course pothos cant go wrong with
them the golden pothos and neon pothos always a good choicephaphidophra tetrasperma
that is also everywhere now
and begonias so begonias i am still on the fence of whether i really want to
try it out for 2022 but we will see and of course
the monstera deliciosa and this is kind of like a signature gift item
at the sale the i dig you the hearts and they have moss
poles here i was surprised they have this really small ones
and really large ones so it is really convenient i like this
the sill because it has
pretty much a lot of stuff that you would need for plants and not just plants itself
and they also have gift sets and i know these are just like leftovers from the holiday season
but i do think they make good gifts for plant parents or any plant lover
but yeah that's a tour of the sill in san francisco
all right so that was the sill so i didn't get a plant because i couldn't get any
but i did get this beanie hat that says plants on it
so i'm back in the hotel real quick to use the restroom
and this is the hat that i got from the sill it says plants pretty simple
and i'm heading to trader joe's not exactly a plant store but
i saw they had some great plants there
and i'm also gonna pick up breakfast for tomorrow morning before we head
to the airport because we have to be at the
airport we're leaving at five so it's too early
nothing would be open so i'm gonna get some stuff for breakfast tomorrow
morning as well as see the plants that they have at trader joe's in san francisco
so this trader joe's has the best selection of plants i've ever seen in trader joe's
in any part of the country
not that i've been to every trader joe's but
they do have this great selection of hoya that is sun stress this philodendron
there will be ficus elastica and of course the holiday cactus plants
and some ponytail palms more ficus elastica over here
and they have this really good really nice size of
gray star calathea which you know is part of my wish list i've mentioned
several times and the calathea was only 19.99 which is 10
for that size this amazing price and they have like the two
versions of it which is awesome and i wish my local trader joe's have that
and they have the hoyas for like 14.99 and it's
huge it's like have trellis and everything i'm not really sure what type of hoya it is
i don't think it's just a regular hoya carnosa it
might be but i'm not sure but i love that they are sun stressed and they
look amazing they have some more of the same ones
but not sun stress and here they have the dracaena plants and the
ficus elastica they had a lot of those in stores and the
flower section i always love checking out the flower section
in trader joe's what i usually get is this eucalyptus greenery until
of course i got my own eucalyptus plant and outside they had
more plants they have this succulent selection some
arrangements in wine bottle which i thought was interesting
it would make a nice diy project i guess if you don't want to buy
it from trader joe's but i thought the price was good
and they have more of those hoyas for 15 dollars amazing some of the
ferns for 12.99 comes with a basket so that's really good
and this one's that you also see at home depot lose i think this is
like from costa farms and the ficus plants were only 13
that was that's amazing i got mine for 12 dollars but in much
smaller size and the philodendron plants which
i think might be the same price not sure but i think we'll see the price
coming up in a second oh no it's cheaper it's like ten dollars so that's amazing
and i think they just have the regular red congo
but like one of them had the birkin
so that's amazing so if you want to get the deal get the red congo with the birkin and get
two plants and of course they have the amaryllis which you always find the trader joe's
and the peace lily and they have
this like wild poppy growing kit which i believe is a flower native to california
so i forgot to do a closing for the plant shop tours
i'm currently at the airport waiting for my flight but yeah so this is the
beanie that i got from the sill it just says plants so there's a
couple more plant shops that i could have gone to but i just
didn't have time so there was like one that's right next to
petite monstera but they were closed and there was a couple i
wanted to go to but again lack of time
so there should have been like a third or fourth one if you consider trader joe's as a
plant shop thank you so much for checking out the plant shops with me and i'll see you in hawaii bye
you
