_Posted by Morgan Picillo 🖤 🌿 on 2026-08-15_

So very excited to announce our newest Planta Ambassador -- You all probably already know him -- Mikel! He is such a positive contributor to our community! 💚

"I’m Mikel! A 47 year old high functioning autistic veteran in Orlando, Florida with over 30 different houseplants! (All have names and teach me stuff) 🪴🤓💕 Planta App is the main reason I’ve become such a successful plant parent! This thriving community just keeps being so supportive! I am thrilled to officially announce my Ambassadorship status partnering with Planta to spread the word and bring more plant people into this exciting adventure!!!"

Follow Mikel on IG @mikelsplantposse and give Planta a follow too! @Planta\_app 💚
