Ryan Wong

Reliable candidate well-versed in general hospitality and the customer service sector. Experienced in providing exceptional customer service to guests and ensuring efficient operations. Skilled communicator and problem solver committed to creating positive environment. Enthusiastic and motivated about both customer service and plants.

My journey started with a moderate sized Monstera Deliciosa from Trader Joe's at the beginning of July, an event that served as the gateway to a burgeoning passion. Over the subsequent three months, my plant collection has passed a little over 40, ranging from pitcher plants, succulents, cacti, philodendrons, alocasias and more! 

I am committed to the welfare of my plants, underscored by the rigorous regimen of research, primarily conducted through Reddit, that follows as soon as I bring one home. The platform has proven invaluable for its wealth of informative insights and personal anecdotes from fellow enthusiasts. My vigilance in monitoring the well-being of my plants has extended to addressing any issues promptly and judiciously. It might be a little early to say, but they have all been thriving and none have died on me. A testament to my passion and care would be the corms I have sprouting right now in their humidity domes. 

I have had experiences with pests, more specifically spider mites. My golden pothos had a spider mite and aphid situation over the summer. Fortunately, I caught it relatively early and took the proper steps in remediating the situation. Consequently, I have acquired an army of preventatives and treatments. 

This love for plants is what makes having a job in a plant store the dream, especially if they have a living wall. 

I am still in high school. From Wednesday to Friday, I am only available starting 3:30 PM. However, on the weekends, I will be available the whole day.
