I love plants! I grew up planting all kinds of plants as a child so, thankfully, I have a tiny bit of knowledge of how this works.
These days are full of bad and sad news, it's nice to step out into a garden and find some peace and quiet away from all of the day's worries. I really do enjoy watching plants grow.. its literally miraculous. Its also a great distraction from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Nature is the best therapy.
I thought that I'd start up a channel documenting all of the different plants I collect as the time goes by. I hope that my 'journals' on the ups and downs of my attempts at growing these plants can serve as a 'guide' to some of you out there who are just like me. Someone who loves growing plants and watching them grow but yet, not really sure if they know what they're doing. In time, experience will give us the wisdom we need to be able to grow plants effectively... IMAGINE HOW MUCH KNOWLEDGE OF THESE PLANTS WE WILL GAIN IN THE YEARS TO COME!

A few years ago, I ate a delicious mango and planted the seed. Here it today! There are a few more videos of this mango tree showing it in various stages of it’s growth. Although I don’t speak only of the mango tree in some of these videos, I do still show the mango tree.. You’ll find them here; 1st video of mango and tasting: ua-cam.com/video/OSguKOmMrQw/v-deo.html 2nd video showing mango germ...

Sure awaiting to see the calamansi sprout feedback thanks current year 2024
Is it still working?
Sup man, you ever tried taking a red lipstick palm suckling and growing from it?
You should have added the ones you planted with guavas on this video.
Where are you located? I have a few sour sop in pots in NC. Do you think they will grow in central NC?
Wish I had found this vid before I ate the fruit, have the exposed seed and fingers crossed mine germinates 🤞🏼🙏🏼
I wish Americans would learn to use metric.
Should you keep the container in the sun or shade when sowing the seed
@@deborah1695 partial shade 👍
Hi do you cut the top off the tree at all. Or do you just let it frow
@@tezzasmith6227 Its really up to you. In my experience, it bore fruit either way. I topped mine after a few years so that I dont have to reach too high for fruits. Its still fruiting 👍
Thank you sir, just got one today.
I rescue theses from the beaches in Costa Rica, when a storm washes them up i collect the sodden bulbs and plant them
We at Bangladesh use to call it AMRA (আমড়া), it taste like sour and sweet or both, depends on variety. We don’t eat its skin. 😊
@@naimchowdhury7913 Thank you for sharing the info 🤙
Hey bro! Was wondering if you can give me any advice on how to make it bloom. I’m going on year 3 with our kaloni kakala and it has tons of green foliage but no blooms.
@@bensonfalahola6138 gotta feed it tokoua 🤙 maybe give it some blooming fertilizer….it will only bloom if its in ideal potting mix. If its in the ground, I’d suggest just mulching it a bit with some compost and wood chips 🤙 hope this helps bro!
I have tried propagating night blooming jasmine several times with all different kinds of methods including sticking the tips in aloe vera and then in soil, covering with a bag to retain moisture, but i have never succeeded.They keep either rotting or dehydrating. The ones that i have right know are starting to drop and look floppy on the leaves but i dont want to water too much so that they dont rot again. What am i doing wrong? ):
Its also summer right now and have brought inside so that they dont dry out
@@nimi539 You can try using the same potting mix that I use. Miracle Gro….the yellow bag 🤙 sounds like your watering is pretty much on point…let me know if you run into any more problems.
@@ThePlantCollector Thanks! I’ll try that and let you know.
Can you trim these back to keep them somewhat smaller? Jw if you still have some?
@@Roxanne77777 I dont think they’ll stay small when and if you trim them back. It just depends on whether or not you plant them in suitable soil/potting mix. If the soil is poor, they may stay small. If the soil is ideal, they’ll get pretty big. Hope this helps 🤙
@ThePlantCollector yes it does, thank you 😊 🙏
Please how old is this soursop tree
@@joyobinyan2542 4yrs old 🤙
I ma try em out
Excellent presentation about soursop! Love from Bangladesh.
@@AbdunNur-u9w thank you 🙏
Thank you very much for this lesson!
@@leihuananirojo youre welcome 🤙
Beautiful flower😊
The flower and the drum stick are also edible after cooking. So many videos available on UA-cam on the dishes with those edible parts of moringa.
Thanks for the tips! 🤙
There’s a tree of this growing in my far backyard and I want one up front. Cannot find one for sale anywhere near Tampa. Think I may try and root from cutting
Go for it! 👍
@@ThePlantCollector been a week in water and already has roots!
@@CaseyPlants 👍 nice!
Thank you for your post
You're welcome 🤙
That thing is a megavine lol
@@bvhia yea, its out of control!
I've grown these and the king tut in my bog. Believe me they love water.❤
@@twunderaquatics1770 yes they do 🤙
Won’t miss my chance next time we’re there.
@@davidkneubuhl dont worry…I have lots of coco trees for you guys!
❤❤❤
💯💯💯
@@davidkneubuhl got one of these for you too
That thing is huge!
@@davidkneubuhl You’ll have your own soursop plants soon enough!
It took you 3.5 minutes of rambling then you opened the box. Get to your points quicker please.
@@brent9165 3.5 minutes isn't long AT ALL...unless your attention retention span is about 10seconds...too much youtube shorts and tiktoks....TAKE TIME to actually LEARN something! God bless you!
awesome plants cheers from Australia
@@sean2val cheers!
what kind of potting mix should I get?
I am going to try an indoor potting soil with some osmocote fertilizer because mine are indoors.
@@JavierViramontesR I used miracle gro potting mix 👍 osmocote is a good booster 🤙
Sir, what is the soil mixture for this plant
@@prajwalerajappa983 I just used miracle gro potting mix to initially grow them in. I believe it is a mixture of mostly peat moss.
Where are you located
@@nihardas-uu4pj Hawaii 🤙
How do you take care of this tree in summer and winter
@@nihardas-uu4pj Summer and winter here in Hawaii aren't very harsh so I really don't do anything to the plant. It does perfectly fine on its own 👍 if you have harsh summers and winters, I'd suggest placing/growjng your plant in a greenhouse.
Outstanding educational video in detail Thank you so much
@@ghulamkhaliq3463 THANK YOU 🤙
What is the variety?
@@seiyuokamihimura5082 I do not know. I can only tell the differences by the colors of the flowers but I do not know the actual variety names.
What were the white specs on the trunk?
@@marylandsharona the white specs are just part of the tree 🤙
I planted 100 soursop trees in my orchard, they are all drying up. I am in Burkina Faso in Africa
Wow! Keep them watered but not too damp 🤙
How do you get yours so neat? I see a lot of soursop trees with the white and black disease stuff on the fruit
I dont do anything actually…its just doing its own thing…maybe Im just lucky 🤙
Wow, I’m curious to taste your soursop fruits. Do you ship?
@@TheChariot99 so sorry, I do not.. miamifruit ships fruits throughout the US...maybe you can check with them 👍
Is this florida or Hawaii. Just saw a mountain so I'm guessing Hawaii.
This is Hawaii 🤙
Is it better to plant it with seeds or with branches?
Branches will yield fruit faster if airlayered...I planted from seed and it took 3yrs to fruit but the tree is perfect 🤙
Sir, I want some branches to plant in my garden
Sorry, I don't sell branches or seeds yet 🤙
Are they seedlings?
Yes they are 👍
Do you sell cuttings?
Sorry, no. 🤙
Last year gotten a nice plant but was late autumn (nyc) hard to keep alive here. I managed to keep alive in heated area of basement with grow lights and also propagated cuttings. Not sure this is a healthy specimen so have found on Amazon and awaiting its arrival. Would love to know how you fertilize and keep your plant.
Im lucky because I live in the tropics. Hawaii to be exact 👍 I use miracle gro potting mix and that about it. Pretty simple plant...especially here!
We called this plant Arum Dalu in indonesian. Arum means fragrance and Dalu means Night.
👍🙏
Those are aphids
