Roots and Shoots

05/26/2026

Just a heads up everyone both my Facebook and Instagram accounts have been temporarily locked due to repeated hacking attempts. This has happened multiple times before, but my accounts have never been suspended like this.

I’m currently working on recovering and securing everything. Thank you for your patience and support while I sort this out. -ira

Checked my tissue cultures today… and wow… they’re MAD

So I decided to check on my tissue cultures today… they look like they’re plotting a jailbreak
Because EVERY jar is overcrowded and looks like it’s ready to file a formal complaint

They’re literally pressed against the glass like:
“We demand FREEDOM.”

Some of them look so squished 🙈
Looks like I’ll be spending my “first week without the shop” doing tissue culture jail breaks and releasing everyone into bigger jars.

Wish me luck… because I think they’re ready to riot.

FIRST DAY WITHOUT THE SHOP… AND I FORGOT 😂
So this morning I woke up early like usual…
fully ready to go to the shop…

Then I remembered…

I don’t have a shop anymore.
Like I literally sat there for a second thinking, “Wait… where am I even going?” 💀🤣

It feels weird. Different. Surreal.
But honestly… I also feel relieved.

No more waking up knowing I have 3000 plants to water everyday.

Yesterday when I finally locked the door for the last time… I’m not gonna lie…
I cried a bit.
It hit me all at once. Like wow… this is really it.

The kids are sad too… but not for emotional reasons like mine 😂
They’re sad because they wanted me to keep the shop since it’s walking distance to McDonald’s 💀
(So apparently the real tragedy here is the loss of easy fries.)

Today I’m sore… like whole body sore… because the past few days have been intense.
But I also feel so full of gratitude.
To every single person who showed up, helped, lifted, carried, cleaned, organized, and stayed beside me through the chaos… thank you.
You didn’t just help move plants… you helped carry the weight of this whole chapter.
I will forever be in debt to those beautiful humans. 💚

Today is officially the start of my reset.
Restructuring my focus, organizing tons of stuff, and figuring out what the next chapter looks like.
It’s the end of one era… but also the beginning of something new.

And I’m ready. 🌱💪🏽

I’m honestly speechless

Thank you SO much to everyone who messaged right away offering to help. I didn’t expect this many people and it genuinely means a lot.

I have received tons of messages and I haven’t even opened them all yet, it’s been a really long day and I’m trying my best to keep up. I promise I will reply as soon as I can.

As of now, we have enough help for Thursday and Friday 🙏

Depending on how much we get done on Friday, I will post an update regarding Saturday.
Saturday will be mostly moving stuff, so I’ll definitely need some muscles 😂

I will also be posting everything that’s left as we go.

There are lots of plants that need homes, so if you want to come take some and give them a good home, you’re more than welcome on Saturday.

Everyone is welcome to take things like pots, trays etc.

Even the Keurig coffee maker 🤣

Just please come on the day I post it. I’ll have everything outside and ready.

I unfortunately can’t answer every message asking what’s left or hold items for someone, there’s just too much going on and I’m getting flooded with messages.

Everything free will be put out on Saturday.
Anything left will be tossed on Sunday.

Thank you again, seriously. I’m so grateful for this community 🥹💚
