Oh... THAT kind of pot
🤣🤣🤣 yeah bro we got tricked
We just got click batted by Sir Attenborough
No fr I came here expecting something else😂
@@alanquinn8745 he got us good
😄😂😂😂🤣😂😂😥😄
😄🇨🇦♥️🇨🇦
In Canada we'd call that a "potted" plant. A "pot plant" is an entirely different thing here. lol
So glad i’m not the only Canadian scratching my head 😂
American, thinking the same thing 💀
same in usa, i think this is just clickbait......not that it needed to be
@@perry92964 Not clickbait, in England and Aus they are pot plants and it's most likely BBC that owns the video.
I'm from PA so I'm familiar w/ that kind of plant that came from BC.... LoL 😁😂
I came because I was misled, I stayed because Sir David Attenborough.
Sir David you have trolled every pot smoker in the world. well done, Sir. well done.
Unintentionally nonetheless
Sir Attenborough can clickbait me anytime. Came for the pot, stayed for the plant.
Me too.
Pot plant seems to be the British and Australian term where North Americans say potted plant.
Brilliant !
Zelensky is a clown. Russia is justified
Oldest potted plants in the world are bonsai. I’ve heard some are as old as 1000 years. Certainly many were first potted before the 1700’s.
There’s a cedar tree on the Bruce Peninsula in Ontario that is certified to be 7000 years old. It’s growing out of a crack in the rock and is only about two feet tall. Now that’s an old tree!
My first thought also when I saw this. In South Africa many of these Cycads (where this one comes from) that are in pots are twice as old.
Oldest is a ficus fro china 1100years old last year
I think they're making a difference between trees and plants
@@ColonelRetard aren't trees plants?!
Got me at world's largest pot plant...my THC levels jumped and I got a residual " high" off the expectation alone . My reward system in overdrive.
I was expecting Sir David to show us his precious pot plants that he inherited from his great great grandpa.
Whoa, the world's oldest pot plant! Must be absolutely HUGE! I've gotta see that! {a few moments later} Ah, the worlds oldest *potted* plant. Okay then. Sheesh. I feel like I was just clickbaited.
We all where🤬
That’s why I clicked on it. I believe he meant “potted” plant haha! Or maybe he didn’t. And wanted to get the extra views?
So say we all.
Got me too!
You were
Have been watching Attenborough since I was five (think it was Life on Earth), 55 now and still memerised by the photography, filming sequences and his wonderful commentaries.
Its a hyper-culmination of observation. We can tell he wants to see it and we wanna see it.
He is why we and many others are lovers of nature!
Life on Earth came out in 1979...
I agree. Nature commentary by anyone other than Attenburough just doesn't feel right. Although I must say I still find interest in them. When it comes to things related to cosmology, Leonard Nimoy is my favorite. Neil deGrasse Tyson has tried to fill those shoes but it'll never happen. All this is my opinion.
@@mahalalel7771 Lorne Greene is better.
I am so glad to see that I’m not the only one who got click baited thinking it was a different pot 😂
I knew from the thumbnail that wasn’t a “pot plant” but being as I’m stoned watching this I had to click lol 😎
Whoever did the sound for this deserves an award
Was expecting something different, but David Attenborough never disappoints. I'd listen to him talk about a cloud for an hour.
Naw fr tho especially when you high as a damn cloud 💀
Only an hour?
You would listen to him talk for an hour while you were partaking some of the pot. Lol. 🤣
I’ve heard this claim before and wondered what trick of classification they used to make this cycad the “oldest pot plant in the world”. I have seen Japanese bonsai trees in pots at the national arboretum in Washington DC. They were on loan from Japan and supposedly 300 to 700 years old.
@d b all trees are indeed plants. Bonsai aren't even really a type of tree anyways. Just a way of taking care of them. Like maraschino cherries.
@d b cycads look like trees
Came here to say this. There's a bonsai garden near me in Washington State that has plants believed to be over 1000 years old (the tree was x hundred years old when clipped or potted and then spent x hundred years in a pot). They even have Azaleas which are considered a shrub and a very popular bonsai... so... a plant, not tree. I don't agree with this video.
Sir David has spent a lifetime bringing us the magic of what is around us! I love the man!!
NOT what I was expecting, but still delightful as David always is.
I was like "oh sweet! David's gonna be rippin gnar.....oh that kinda pot"
😂
LOL I thought I was about to gain some crazy ancient pot history. It's a POTTED plant, not a pot plant. Oh Britain! You got me again!
I was like whaaaaat? That must be some badass pot!
Then my hopes and dreams came crashing.
Earlier generations could never experience watching plants grow like this, time lapse photography didn't exist.
Astute observation of human history
@@hassanbolagligsman 🤣
Oh man David,
You had us in the first half, ngl.
Sir David Attenborough is so iconic. That voice takes me back.
The Bamboo is amazing... Up to a whole meter growth in a single day.
This video is absolutely amazing. The fast speed footage of the plants growing and the vines waving their tendrils around is spectacular.
The foley artist even added some whip sounds - very clever!
@@michaelsmith6818 I liked that too!
That was awesome! Pot or not! 😂
The "dueling tendrils" were some of the coolest things ever. 😎 Plants are awesome (and so is David)!
My parents left a potted fir tree in their backyard and forgot about it. Years later it is over 8 feet tall and broke through the plastic pot and rooted itself in the ground.
Try a 1" tall pine sapling taken from some pinestraw and stuck in a 5 gallon bucket. 20 years ago. Now it needs to be cut to the ground. 30' tall.
@@coloradostrong 👍
How beautiful. They look like they are doing a dance. Very artful.
There are whole world's happening around us that we have no clue about, amazing stuff as always David.
ya people who don't know what a pot plant is.
@@stateofkrunk Yeah lol I think I made this comment on the wrong video. I was talking about the other video where it shows the plants growing and fighting for sunlight in the greenhouse, oh well.
@@SealAngel no, you made your comment on the right video. There is a timelapse in here
As a Bonsai owner I believe that some bonsai tree are well over 500 year and more, like what everyone is saying the same but i think for records he must mean this is the oldest fully recorded plant potted becuase some bonsai have said to be over a 1000 years old but it might be unrecorded for much of histroy and gone by hearsay and story, I think thats why they say this.
Maybe bonsai don't count. They are really deformed plants due to constant pruning, their small size.
@@ligametis No it's just because of the records keeping which Guinness uses to determine the *verifiable* oldest potted plant. It's no coincidence that the oldest verifiable potted plant coincides with the time period the scientific method was created in. The age of this potted tree is the exact same time period we started keeping rigorous scientific records for posterity.
If there was some ancient scroll that mentions the planting of an 800 year old bonsai in a particular pot, and that pot is the same one its in today, then you might have an argument for Guinness. But there aren't because no one kept records that rigorous regarding plants 800 years ago.
@@barahng agreed and im sure there are bonsai that are older but i think the only why to find out would be a ring count but that would kill it. Unless theres a new way?
@@billnoel That doesn't even work since Bonsai can be potted from their natural habitat (and often are).
I'm going with Tom Feng, you take a tree and wire its roots into a pot for bonsai, and then it's fairly common to switch containers.
I didn't watch the video to here any qualifications once I saw it isn't an old *pot* plant, it's an old _potted_ plant.
David, you make the best wildlife documentaries!!!!
David Attenborough cannot die! Ever never ever
I generally dislike click bait titles, but I'll make an exception for Sir Attenborough 👍👍
It is common in British English to refer to potted plants as pot plants.
@@MrThomtree To me, in Canada, that's queer as a bottle of chips. Out of curiosity, I wonder what they call pot plants in UK? Pot pot plants? LoL 🤣
how is this click bait? The video contained exactly what the title advertised.
@@Labroidas -- Apparently "pot plant' is British English. In the U.S. and Canada, we would say "potted plant". To us "pot plant" means marijuana plant. So it _appears_ to be click bait, though actually it it not.
@@uekiguy5886 oh ok, that makes sense, thanks for clearing it up.
I knew what he meant, and I'm a Boomer. David is great, and he is old enough to be my dad, and since I'm 71, that is something! 🌴
He's as old as my great grandmother and I'm 28!
You got to love the sound effects. They seem so real
One of those moments when you pause the video 10secs in, look away and say to yourself "damn"
Glad to see Im not the only one who had a different idea on what this video would be about
David, you got me all excited over a "potted" plant! I was thinking of the other kind of pot (weed, in case you don't take hints very well) and I had all kinds of questions, like how do you the cat from eating it!
Cheers,
jc
The cat likes to climb, rub and scratch at it, like a humungous catnip.
You can't stop the cat from eating it. Once theyve had a bellyfull of leaves, just wait awhile for them to slow down. Then you can pick them up and put them somewhere warm and comfy. Clean up the weed vomit thats sure to come.
(Weed has denticles to upset the stomach of an little creature - which is supposed to discourage grazing)
The cat will probably in a strange mood for a little while and then will have a long snooze and awaken hungry.
Chasing your cats around a grow room does more harm than good.
Try to keep them out when the buds are getting ready. Otherwise, they dont actually eat that much and it's mainly leaves and shoots.
Fair is fair after all.
@@Boviss1Bovis I'm taking it that your cat has had an episode..... lol
@@RTStx1 Back in my old place there was a siege of the growroom by my 2 cats. Theyd be scratching the door and waiting for the door to open a crack - and theyd be in. There was no catching them - and Id do damage in my attempts to catch them.
I had to give up and let them do a bit of chewing. It always happened just as the plants were starting to flower and get aromatic..
When the flowers started really forming Id put the cats in the front of the house - well away from access to the growroom door. And I'd distract them with catnip toys instead.
They were mad for it. Year after year, always the same. Cats are stoners. No doubt
If you were in newspapers, this video title would have been one of your greatest headlines ever. Brilliant.
Dave reminds me of being a child amazed at whatever he is talking about.
This particular species grows abundantly here by us ("abundant" for cycads). It doesn't grow in rainforests (they're a few hundred km's away), but does like growing on cliff faces and in riverine and coastal forests.
Yea his definition of pot plant is a little different than i expected
Absolutely astonishing.
Glad to know I wasn't the only one expecting something completely different
I feel living in my motherland again ...
Thank you.
Triple gem bless you sir.
I've always believed that the Japanese Bonsai was the first and oldest potted plant in the world....I googled this story about the Japanese Bonsai and the article declared the oldest known Bonsai was reported to be at least a thousand years old..🤔 I have great regards for Sir David Attenborough... I'm just seeking to get the truth about this...
I agree. Let’s not only regard European history.
Honestly I think thats the case, maybe the criteria is different for potted plant and bonsai as this plant hasnt been shaped and pruned, but that's a stretch anyway
According to Guinness world book of records, the worlds oldest potted plant is a Prickly Cycad, the same one in the video. It arrived in that botanical garden in 1775 and according to the site of that Botanical garden it has been there for 240 years. What no site seems to mention is how old it was before it got there. That detail is probably what makes it the oldest potted plant.
@@Revealthereal_ Before you all wanted to be part of our civilization it was normal for each race to have their own his-story. We can't confirm what the Japanese are saying as easy as we can say this our oldest potted plant.
Stop being antiWhite, I can smell it on you from here.
Uhh hello I have bonsais and they are trees. Not plants. They are called bonsais because they are potted trees.
Awesome!!Thank you 😁
We love you sir David....
I remember watching this guy on laserdiscs in elementary school when I was 7 years old. He was an old man then. It's crazy that I'm 37 and he's still at it. That's a guy who loves his work.
Yeah. When he's gone whomever steps up to voice all these nature shows is going to have very big shoes to fill.
I would have thought that the oldest pot plant would be a bonsai
Indeed, some of the oldest bonsai trees are 800 or even 1000 years old!
Yes, but those aren’t pot plants, but plants that were potted. I think that’s the difference? They are tree that are being kept small on purpose.
@@jamesbizs 1. A pot plant is a plant that was potted. 2. Some bonsai trees are very large despite being potted.
There are rare Cycads in private collections in South Africa that are a thousand years old in pots.
it means the oldest species of plant not the oldest living individual but it also happens to be the oldest living individual of that species that is potted.
the species was around over 200 million years ago.
Awesome! This was beautiful!
Still worth it to hear DA say it
Most of the children, alerted to mention of pot, gather around the youtube video like a mirage in the desert, only to be thwarted by my clickbait. Stunning
I started laughing like a maniac when I heard the whip. Don't ask.
I came for the pot, i stayed for Sir David Attenborough
A nature's miracle
Not what I thought it was going to be but no less impressive.
Shouldn't it be potted plant? I was looking forward to David Attenborough talk about pot, maybe even sampling it!
Plus one here from Kentucky in the US.
And 'pot' is an annual plant.
pot for weed is a slang thats only used in america.
in the uk the correct term for a potted plant is pot plant.
@@TheWeeJet Isn't it grammatically incorrect? We say a grown or mature plant, not a growth plant.
@@ouagadougou62 it is grammatically correct. its just how it is.
i believe pot plant was also the term used in americas before the mid 1900's where weed started to be called pot. and at some point they started saying potted plant.
so their was no confusion with weed even tho technically its odd to call weed pot considering pot origanally means weed thats been steeped in wine so really you cant have a pot plant as in weed plant because it would die.
basically english weird and its even weirder that their is multible conflicting versions of it.
I was taken back to my childhood watching that. Sitting at grandma’s house watching PBS. Thank you 🙏
P.S. I really was hoping to see oldest pot plant. I had visions of Willies green house.
THANKS4GIVING young man
That's not true at all there are potted bonsai plants over 1000 years old.
Nah but its not british, never heard of em.
@@jonastalks a shame you haven't heard of them.
They are really cool.
Right? My first thought... I've watched japanese "pawn shop" and one old man brought his Bonsai from the "kamakura era" (year 1200 - 1400) and it was valued almost 2 million dollars
@@koharumi1 he was being ironic... i think
Doesn't matter. We have our story. Love it or leave it. Actually just leave it. We're an endangered species, you need to get of our land.
Encephalartos altensteinii the second fastest growing Encephalartos and in a humid greenhouse it will grow twice as fast so plants in nature the same age would be half as tall. In Pretoria theres a Encephalartos princeps potted thats a 800 years old in a private collection.
That E. princeps would be beautiful to see.
@@user-nu1vn3yy9s South Africa has been colonised since 1600's. How do you think they got the plant to England? Plants were removed for building railway lines, roads, farms, dams so many were relocated or collected as specimens.
So cool
Those vine plants are amazing. I never knew they moved like that.
Amazing video. Thanks for sharing.
One has to admire the care given over the centuries by horticulturalists for that old pot plant, remarkable.
there is a 1000 year bonsai, a plant in a pot, in Crespi Museum in Italy.
Where is that? And why in Italy?
@@danieledalmonte7560 It's in Milan, Italy, it was imported from Asia
Ma fantastico!
Nice pot. Pretty.
wow interesting thanks for spreading this knowledge
One of those plants while speeding up the film, looked - to me - like actual insects. Amazing.
Some bonsais are over 1000 years old.
Damn it! I got excited for a sec!
Within 5 seconds I was like " Oh...that kind of pot... never mind then"...
Actually the oldest is definitely a bonsai
There are bonsai 900 years old. Bonsia actualy means tree in a pot.
Fabulous
I love to hear him talk...
there, plants ARE creatures!
Sir David Attenborough said so.
Thank you. Vegans act like plants are motive-less and docile. As if they like being exterminated for food...
Plants are amazing give us live thanks David 😊
Hey that's one way to get attention. The longest I've ever had a pot plant is two growing seasons. It looked ya bonsi tree. Like a miniature of it's own self. Bravo to Sir Attenborough for pulling me in.
The sound effects are always almost funny but also entertaining
Love Sir David! Not what I thought this video was going to be about though
In British English 'pot plant' is the correct term. 'Potted plant' in American English.
Two COMPLETELY different things...
They also call anyone who owns guns shooters.. very confusing
And everyone is focusing on that, rather than on the fact that there are much older bonsai trees, technically also "pot plants", or "potted plants", if one prefers.
@@alexverdigris9939 the fact you need to use a "technically" instead of a "is" shows that yes while they might be older do they actually meet the criteria on whats its judged.
bonsai trees are more of a tray (shallow pot)
UA-cam recommendations algorithm getting so good it can tell when to show my pot related intentionally or not when I'm definitely not smoking pot at 2 am
LOL that is GREAT!!!!
How many people thought he was going to talk about the world's oldest marijuana plant?
Weird name for a plot plant. I would've just call it 'Helga'.
Keeping pot plants in the glass house..... I can sit listening to you sir david, all day long...... interesting as always...
Wow! Deceiving
Not going to lie, when I read the title I was expecting a giant Marijuana tree or something lol
As an actual professional botanist, I felt dumb for not realized he meant potTED plant, haha, but I felt smart for inferring before he seeing the description that he's a Kew Gardens. That's the only place I'd reckon had a 250 year old potted plant.
Aren't there bonsai trees that are way older?
This man added so much quality to my life. His voice is soothing and calming.
potted plant here in the us..I got excited when I read largest pot plant !
I am pretty sure that you'll find much older bonsai out there and I would consider them potted plants too
The British have a rather self-centred awareness, some of them still believe that the cultures that traditionally practice bonsai are inherently inferior to them, so it probably doesn't count, for them.
Maybe bonsai don't count. They are really deformed plants due to constant pruning, their small size.
This plant is probably the biggest pot plant but certainly not the oldest one. You can find some (mostly outdoor) bonsai trees in Japan that are even older: 400 up to 600 years old. They are much smaller, off course, but they have been growing in pots for hundreds of years.
Maybe bonsai don't count. They are really deformed plants due to constant pruning, their small size.
You can't prove any of those bonsais have been in the same pot the entire time thoug.. This likely isn't the oldest potted plant even in Europe either, its the *provably* oldest potted plant.
The Japanese didn't keep rigorous scientific records of their bonsai activities 800 years ago that we could use to prove the provenance of a given tree. The English however did keep rigorous horticultural records starting in the 17th century. It was a very important field of scientific inquiry at the time.
Thus, we can actually prove that this specimen was in the same pot since the late 18th century. That is not the case with bonsai specimens which may be biologically older, but can't be proven to have been in the same pot (or even potted at all) their entire lives.
@@barahng Well, you are right: bonsai trees need to get repotted every few years otherwise the pot would become root-bound and that would slowly kill a miniature tree. Even the oldest bonsai trees need root pruning every 5 up to 10 years (depends of species, size and age). But when you are done with root pruning you can simply repot your bonsai tree in the same pot. Problem solved:)
Potted plant. Jeez you had me all excited.
Everyone: "I'm dissapointed it's a different kind of pot."
Me: "Some Bamboo can grow a meter a day? 😳"
Yeah its a form of torture tie someone on something and let the bamboo grow through people when your sharpen the tip!
Aren't there some older bonsai?
Yes.
Yes, Asia has a lots of those, some cost almost 2 million dollas
The title should say The OLDEST *_potted_* plant in the world ...
Or maybe it's just a giant ass weed plant?
It's the British term for Potted plant!
It is 100%correct
Got me good on this one….. wasn’t what I was expecting hahaha
Was cool seeing that passiflora vitifolia growing.. I obsessed with passiflora..
