U know. Before this i dont love plants. Im not a plants lover. But after watching ur video with no purpose what so ever. I begin to buy a plants. Day by day i buy one by one. Now i have 9 plants in my house and 6 more are on the way from online shop. I began buying things like soils, cocopeat, rice husk blablabla which i never knew or care before but now im buying it like im an expert. I dont know whats happening to me. It was ur fault and i want my house green as yours. 😂
Same here! Let’s blame him. For me, I added around 20 new plants in only 3 months I subscribed his channel. So have 40+ species right now in my tiny 44sqm apartment 😂. All his fault, but also thanks to Jan, he gave everything I need to know on how to understand my environment, which type of plants, even type of pots, and care routines. So, thanks, Jan! ❤
That's how it starts! You start out with just buying a couple of plants, no big deal. Then one day you look up and there are so many that you can no longer see your furniture! There's no going back after that! And unless you're independently wealthy already, you will be broke all the time now. Do yourself a favor and learn how to propagate so you can make some of your money back.
when I first heard "Summer" I was like: It is damn February!... Then I remembered that the seasons are upsidedown between the northen and the southern hemisphere! lol
I think from the shape of the leaves and colour of the stem, it could be a hybrid of either Philodendron Sagittifolium or Sanctamartinense with something that has a more glossy thick leaf.
Jan, you are the most consistent plant parent I’ve seen. I love your outlook on being realistic & having the plants growing in the environment that’s comfortable for you. If you were to try & make each plant grow in the “ideal” environment, it wouldn’t work. You have to be happy & comfortable in order to take care of so many plants. Great job on your journey & thanks to taking us (sometimes ungrateful) ppl along.
Jan, you are such a joy to watch and your warm-sincere enthusiasm is obvious. Don't spend one second worrying about any negative comments (the fast growing Cissus Discolor)! (((Hugs)))
i have never seen anything even remotely close to this. this collection is so well kept and displayed to perfection. that dioscorea discolor had my jaw drop!
Was a bit worried in last video I didn't see Brad...glad to see him in this video....there are just no words for your plants...something I aspire to...love all your vids
Hey Jan, your apartment is a beautiful jungle. I now have several moss poles and my plants are growing beautifully. They’re like children, the moss poles need attention and love( maintenance) ❤️❤️. They’re getting bigger everyday and spring is coming soon here in the US. I’m almost at my 2nd extend with several of them. They r getting too big thanks to you! Thanks for your time and expertise.
I am 10 days new to your channel and have spent close to 20 hours with you. Also started making your moss poles this week, very excited to get started with some small aroids.. Just wanted to thank you, I enjoy learning from you & Brad (2 handsome beasts in an OCD jungle).. Your most iconic phrases are : The proof is in the pudding! Happy Days! 🤣
Long but very enjoyable video. I keep busy crocheting while watching and learning. Thanks for taking us along on the tour of your apartment jungle. (I’m a bit like you in that I prefer my place to look tidy and things in their place. It must be the the German background). Thanks again Jan, great video.👍
I’m glad you pointed out that variegation is not (typically) impacted by light levels. There are types of variegation that are environmentally impacted (paraiso verde are well known for this) but albo type variegation is completely dependent on genetics. If the new growth point is in green stem, then you will get a green leaf regardless of light levels. I will say that light can impact how that variagation appears in some plants. For example, you put a marble queen pothos in low light and it will look more minty. Put it in high light and it will have whiter variagation.
Jan... AMAZING!.. I've passed all the challenges by doing my best for me and my "first beautiful Experience'!.🥰.. I really love this video theme "Houseplant Tour during Summer in Sydney". You've shared your experiences with all of us who live in different parts of the world. I look forward to watching the other 3 seasons. I really appreciate it. I've got new experiences by watching this video. All of your plants is soo beautiful!.. It takes my breath away from the beginning to the end of the video. Seeing the beauty in one corner...I'm addicted to seeing the next angles..😀. I always admire the way you arrange your beautiful displays. You pay attention to the layout of the size of the plants, the shape of the leaves, the colour of the leaves, the direction of the leaves and the direction of the sunshine..so it looks so beautiful in the video!!. You can see everything you arrange from different perspective. I love it! ❤️..(I can't do that yet, so I'm learning a lot from your experiences. I'm soo happy!..) Jan...Thank you soo much for inviting us all around in your beautiful little Jungle.. And I love your adorable little Lion, 😻 Brad.. Cheers!.. STUNNING!...💞♥️💐🌸🥰💚😀..
@@sydneyplantguy Jan... You're welcome.😊.. At home tiny little leaves of Anthurium Faustino Giant have started to appear from the ground. They greet us cutely..😊.. The Anthurium Red Pearl seeds have been repotted into bigger polybags. I'm soo happy around you and your happiness of plants. Because of you, now I can feel that plants love me.♥️. Jan...You bring JOY into my life!!. LOVE IT! 💞❤️💐🌸🥰💚😊..
Woow🎉 Really impressive how big are the majority of your plants! I have like 100 plants also but not even close to yours in size, but I am really proud of them either hahaha
I live on the other side of the state with 20% humidity so I have humidifiers all over the place to keep it at 60-70% but mine don't grow anywhere near as much as yours, even with GT fertilisers. And how can you not love crawlers? Mine eclipse the room with gorgeousness. I look at it as caring for Nature and they're a beautiful part of it. To each there own. I've learned heaps from you Jan. Thank you. 🙏
I appreciate your commitment to creating this incredible content! It is obvious while watching your videos that you care very much about sharing what you have learned while also keeping your audience engaged. I am ALWAYS excited to watch new content you upload, and I find myself popping on a video I have watched (possibly 10 times) before, because they are so captivating! Thank you!
I just bought my first one recently and had been wanting one for ages. I just love her sooooo much. Definitely obsessed with the stingray leaves. Just gorgeous and she has popped out 3 new leaves in the last months. So very exciting and just a pleasure to watch. I so get your enthusiasm amd love for your Ellie. I never thought plants could give me so much joy but I really enjoy just hanging out with my plants!! I find it so funny lol. My stingray is absolutely at the top of my favorites list. I can't wait till it gets to the size of yours!!! I will be so happy 😊
Hi Jan, I like your channel. Especially I like your idea of chop of extend. So I wanted to try it by myself (please excuse my language mistakes, I`m German). There are plastic lattices to put in horizontal rain pipes. 1m in length curled up in diameter of about 8cm without any fixing. About 9€ a piece. I bought 2 of them and used them for my plants. Seems a lazy approach to me.
Wonderful tour. I wish my kitties didn’t bite leaves, it’s so limiting. Love all your tropicals and the discipline and care you give them. Thank you for inviting us in.
I have a small house and spent the last 10 years decluttering and purging my hoard. I have purged about 80% of junk. A couple of years ago, I started my plant journey. However, I don't want my house to get out of hand with the plants. I have to have vacant space now for my mental health. So, growing vertical is perfect for me. I tried putting plants outside in the summer, but the bugs were an issue. I have about 25 plants. I also don't like my windows full of plants. I will put a couple in the windows, but i get more light in my rooms with windows free.
I love how neat and tidy your plants and home are. I would love to be more jungly but I love a clean home. Your video has inspired me to add to my jungle while remaining near. ❤
😻🐾 that is so funny re brad nibbling to get your attention! I have one exactly the same. But he goes onto the sideboard and starts to push things off. He is SO naughty!
Love the aesthetic as usual and thanks foe keeping it real. It's nearly been 2 yeara aince I started my plant journey and I can see my first plants have grown so much and so well thanks to your tips. The aroid mix really change the game 🌿😍 thank you and keep em coming 😍
I finally finished the whole video! I am so excited for your new home experience and I hope AJ is doing well! She was such a great support system for you during the stressful move❤ I hope you and Brad are doing well and can't wait to see the next video!!!
I wonder if the secret to being happy is appreciating what the plant is-kind of unconditional love and loving what they are and not what we want them to be. I mean, if they want to flower, maybe love that!
Your apartment is very nice that you moved from watching it to see more of your taste in furniture😮 Anyway You were relaxed here and seemed quite happy but do think your new place is actually much better for You, the plants and Your sweet cat So my impression of You has changed & Your Plants are Extremely Beautiful ❤️😍
I like your plant/plants esthetic/styling and how you keep your plants so healthy and happy! It is nice that you encourage them to grow to their full potential with such optimal care!
Hi! Big fan! You really soothe and help me every time I need to work in front of the computer. You have one of those voices that it's perfect for background work. Also I built my first moss pole a couple days ago, all thanks for your videos! Thank you, take care! 🌱
You are such an inspiration of what my plants could be! I did 2 moss poles one the plant died& the other is doing good. Both were cuttings & I did everything the same. But just experimenting to see if I could even do it 😅 I really enjoy your videos & plants 🪴
Hi from Western Australia. I have heard so many times how people are enjoying your UA-cam channel that I had to check it out. I have just subscribed and look forward to going through your videos to learn more. Cheers.
Hi Jan :)...I spent my late evening watching your tour.....and started it back up this morning to finish the tour up! Love plant tours :) and love yours! As was the first video I watched of yours! Like the balcony part.....happy to see your maranta are loving it out there.....I will have to put mine out this summer.....I can not get them to be happy.....I grew a red one 12 years ago, from a starter gift from a workmate, it was big and pretty, and than took a nose dive....so I have a couple of common ones and.....they are a bit annoying :) Enjoy the end of summer! Your Queen is amazing....I have 1 leaf :) I am greatful....so hopefully this spring and summer it keeps going. Anthurium water day today....100K right around the corner....can you believe it? Ok thanks Jan....and Brad....he is loving those belly rubs :)
WOW Your commentary is so interesting & amazing 😍 Am gonna keep watching & Learning from You...😮 Thanks Love Your Honesty. I could see 🙈 You As A Friend if You Lived Near Me, Just realize when folks find You Never Ever have we seen Such Gorgeous Growth indoors...So impressive 😍
I am such a proud plant mom. Lol. I purchased a Monstera in a 4.5 inch pot (about 11cm) on the sale table at my grocery store and have been so worried about it. I’ve been rewarded with a new leaf growing! I could just burst with the excitement. I can only aspire to what you have but I’ve managed not to kill a plant that isn’t pothos so there is always hope for me!
WOW Your Plants Are Amazing 😍 Watched Your Moving Video wow were you a Mess😮 Hopefully Your All Better Now Relaxed & Enjoying Your New Home as it's A Beautiful Spot Hope You Got Yourself Another Bed 😂🤣😂
‘On the way to the shops there’s one climbing a lamppost’ I almost heard a big sigh coming all the way from Europe ;) a monstera in our backyard is so persistent we need to have a go at it with an axe on a regular basis.
You are such a joy to watch so personable and the Kitty combination is too cute. I love the mystery plant looks like hearts or like it has Mickey Mouse ears. Trying out your soil recipe and like it a lot. Thank you.
Jan, you should try putting a crawler on a D shaped pole filled with your reg substrate and see what happens 😂 will it really know the difference?! especially once its roots are growing in the pole? If you let one grow on the pole while the pole is horizontal on the ground, and then stand it up once the roots are attached and the substrate has densed up bit through watering, I feel that it might just work!
I love your collection, as always. I love watching your channel. Also, I'd love to have the plant someone shared with you to see how it would grow in your conditions, I think its beautiful and rare.❤❤❤
Your plants are gigantic! So many people like these delicate little plants everywhere but I want fewer but larger plants. The only issue for large plants is watering them. I prefer to keep my plants in their nursery pots placed in a decorative planter. I then lift out the nursery pot, take it to the sink and water it well and let is drain fully. My plants love the south facing window of my sun porch but we have an overhang on our condo building which ends up protecting them from too much son.
A nice walk around your apartment, but bragging about Monstera living outside... now for sure I "hate" were you live 😅. But great to see all your plants and also the way they live.
I love plants !! I have over 200 in my home and plan on more!! Now if there were a dating site to meet men like u who love plants and animals like I do I'd be set in life ❤️
Your Dioscorea discolor is lovely - front and back. Dioscorea's are notorious for being fast growers and then going through a dormant phase. In the USA there are plenty of Dioscorea's that are growing wild in the deep South (USDA Zones 8 - 11 tropical) that are labeled as invasive plants by the States they now reside in. There are plenty of vegetable/fruit plants that are pretty or unusual looking enough to be used as outdoor bedding plants like bloody sorrel (Rumex sanguinous), purple bush bean and walking onion. Canna 'Cleopatra' is a chimera. Jan, you are fortunate to not have dust mite, pet or fungus spore allergies. Over 50% humidity creates ideal conditions for dust mite and fungus growth which is really bad for people with respiratory allergies. 30% humidity is on the low side but not so low that you can get very dry skin and a bloody nose. House dust mites have specific environmental requirements for their development. The mites tend to be most numerous in warm homes with high humidity. Optimum conditions for growth and development are around 75 - 80 degrees F (24 - 27 degrees C) and 70 - 80 percent relative humidity. House dust mites absorb and lose moisture through their skin, and are very vulnerable to dehydration. Consequently, humidity levels within the home have a significant effect on survival. Dust mites cannot survive well at relative humidities below 50 percent. Although mite populations tend to be low in dry climates, most homes throughout the United States are capable of supporting dust mites. House dust mites and their allergenic particles are present within homes year round, but people tend to have fewer symptoms during the summer, perhaps because they spend more time outdoors. A dehumidifier is needed for people with dust mite and mold spore allergies.
I have a huge amount of monsteras in my backyard which is a little tropical forest remains in Rio de janeiro mountains. I would never need to put one of those inside my living room lol 😂 But watching yours gave me a urgent need to bring them inside . Great channel! Thank you ❤ Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
Hey Jan! Do you have a philodendron hastatum? (silver sword) Im a sucker for blue plants, and this one takes the cake. Even upon maturity the leaves get very arrow shaped and it retains it pronounced blue color. Plus, it tends to stay fairly compact here. How do you feel about blue plants? :) Im super shocked that the Stuttgart hasn't burned with all that variegation in full sun. I have the cleopatras here along with tropicana in the landscape. They can be a bit aggressive / invasive if they aren't maintained every couple of years. Cleopatra doesn't have stable variegation which is why its sometimes green or red, or both. Its chaotic variegation. If you cut the old blooms off where seeds begin to grow it helps to encourage branching and additional flowers! :)
I have four cats who all love plants as well, and it's kind of interesting because I have several that are very toxic to cats that it would only take a small amount and they could make them very sick, and they'll sniff it and they're rub their face on it but they won't bite it. In fact they don't bite or chew or mess with in a way that could cause them harm any of the poisonous ones actually the only ones they choose strangely enough are the ones that aren't poisonous so somehow they know somehow they can tell I don't know if maybe they bit into it and there's a flavor or if there's a smell, but the only thing I have to worry about my cats with is in the big pots they want to lay down and try to sleep and if there's soil on top they'll try to use it like a cat box which has definitely killed plants before but I just put some rocks in there and some mulch And it usually works fine, we also got a bunch of these little figurines that are meant to decorate like fish tanks and reptile tanks and stuff, and placed them all into the big pot so if they tried to lay down they would lay on these pointy little figurines and it would be uncomfortable. I have a different blockia in particular that I had saved from clearance, that was pretty rough looking at the plant head been broken, but I got it for like three bucks and it was still a very large, anyway, it took like a month before I started seeing any new gross on that poor thing, because every single day before I got some rocks put in it, I would get home and the cat would be asleep in the pot, and I don't know why but rolled over to lay against the plant so it kept making the plant lean at like a 45° angle. Lol I have a big croton That one cat inparticular loves to lay in, that diffenbachia that another cat loves to lay in, and for some reason all cats are particularly attracted to my ficus Benjamina, and one of my small leaf calathias, ( I can't remember what species it is but it looks like a ctenanthe. ) That calalthia that I was talking about, it's a clearance save that was getting over watered at Lowe's, took it home, broke it down put it in a pot with drainage in a nice new chunky soil mix, trimmed off a bunch of the old dead leaves and got it looking nice again, and literally within hours, and that poor thing keeps getting knocked over by cats it's The only plant ships like on its own designated plant stand in front of the main window that looks out at the street, so my two dogs will often try to look out the window and then the process bumps the calathea. But it's literally the perfect spot for it so I don't want to move it. But yeah that poor thing has got the worst of it. And my big croton has taken a tumble once because of it. So yeah that's my issue, cats sleeping in the plants and dogs knocking over plants trying to look out the window. So how I have the majority of my plans to range is in front of the big front window It doesn't get quite as much light as I would like but it's enough for most of the plants to survive and not get laggy or have problems the rest of them are going in from Northeast south and west facing windows depending on what the plant is anyway so I have a big wood rack that holds I don't 30 plants or so and then the other 15 or so are scattered around in front of other windows, and then I also have two kids who each have six or eight plants, most of them are all in one pot in a big succulent arrangement that I made each of them and then they each have their own dysregular house plants unfortunately the window in my son's room is the best window for plants in the house It's not very big but it is just perfect life so my poor son is going to end up having to share his room with plants lol.
Hi Jan! Your plants are magnificent, as usual! I wanted to put something out there and see if other people have had this experience. Whenever I expose my albo variegata plants to higher sunlight, it does not increase the amount of variegation, but it does keep the variegated parts of the plant pristine and white rather than them turning brown. Anyone else?
Thank you for another entertaining and informative video full of great content! So thankful for all the information you provide. I would love a video of how you managed to move all those plants to your new apartment as I am moving soon and would love some of YOUR tips!
“I decided to hide them in a corner because they really made me angry.” Hahahahaha. That statement made me laugh so hard. Plants SHOULD make you happy and not angry. :-)
when are you going to write a book? "hey i shake my plants and they like it, fuck off" "hey I want to help you and teach you stuff stop calling me a liar" Ive said it before. You are the man
The way you ordnerer your plants is amazing , here i making such a miss 🤣🤣 its like everything is true each other hahahaha yeahhhh, i like to see it you can ;-)
in my experience the light increases the variegation, even kick starts it in plants that have lost it... my albo almost turned green, and changing the light made it very very white... just my experience
Hi Jan. In my experience alocasias like to be up potted and stop putting new leaves when the pot is not big enough anymore. I would try to put the Jacklyn and the cuprea on slightly bigger pots. Mine usually put new leaves soon after that :)

I know…. Same deal…partner has now implemented “before another new plant comes in an old one needs to go “ 😂😂
23:51 i receive d same plant for free when i ordered online, the seller told me its anthurium baloanum. The leaves sure do looks like that❤❤
when I first heard "Summer" I was like: It is damn February!... Then I remembered that the seasons are upsidedown between the northen and the southern hemisphere! lol
Wow, nearly 100K. That's amazing in such a short time. You totally deserve it
Thank you :)
The No ID plant should officially be named the Philodendron Sydney Plant Guy
I think from the shape of the leaves and colour of the stem, it could be a hybrid of either Philodendron Sagittifolium or Sanctamartinense with something that has a more glossy thick leaf.

Love the aesthetic as usual and thanks foe keeping it real. It's nearly been 2 yeara aince I started my plant journey and I can see my first plants have grown so much and so well thanks to your tips. The aroid mix really change the game 🌿😍 thank you and keep em coming 😍
That’s great to hear :) thanks :)
I finally finished the whole video! I am so excited for your new home experience and I hope AJ is doing well! She was such a great support system for you during the stressful move❤ I hope you and Brad are doing well and can't wait to see the next video!!!
Thank you :)
I wonder if the secret to being happy is appreciating what the plant is-kind of unconditional love and loving what they are and not what we want them to be. I mean, if they want to flower, maybe love that!
wow wow amazing i love it💕💕💚💙💜♥
Your apartment is very nice that you moved from watching it to see more of your taste in furniture😮 Anyway You were relaxed here and seemed quite happy but do think your new place is actually much better for You, the plants and Your sweet cat
So my impression of You has changed & Your Plants are Extremely Beautiful ❤️😍
I like your plant/plants esthetic/styling and how you keep your plants so healthy and happy! It is nice that you encourage them to grow to their full potential with such optimal care!
Another great home plant tour! Nearly there for the 💯,ooo❗️
💚🌱☘️🌵💚
Hi! Big fan! You really soothe and help me every time I need to work in front of the computer. You have one of those voices that it's perfect for background work. Also I built my first moss pole a couple days ago, all thanks for your videos! Thank you, take care! 🌱
Thanks :)
Amazing plants, I've learnt so much from you.
Thanks :)
You are such an inspiration of what my plants could be! I did 2 moss poles one the plant died& the other is doing good. Both were cuttings & I did everything the same. But just experimenting to see if I could even do it 😅
I really enjoy your videos & plants 🪴
Wow amazing home very healthy plants…
Hi from Western Australia. I have heard so many times how people are enjoying your UA-cam channel that I had to check it out. I have just subscribed and look forward to going through your videos to learn more. Cheers.
Hi Jan :)...I spent my late evening watching your tour.....and started it back up this morning to finish the tour up! Love plant tours :) and love yours! As was the first video I watched of yours! Like the balcony part.....happy to see your maranta are loving it out there.....I will have to put mine out this summer.....I can not get them to be happy.....I grew a red one 12 years ago, from a starter gift from a workmate, it was big and pretty, and than took a nose dive....so I have a couple of common ones and.....they are a bit annoying :) Enjoy the end of summer! Your Queen is amazing....I have 1 leaf :) I am greatful....so hopefully this spring and summer it keeps going. Anthurium water day today....100K right around the corner....can you believe it? Ok thanks Jan....and Brad....he is loving those belly rubs :)

Ha! Finally spotted your camera man! 😉
Awesome video as usual; it must take a lot of work. Thanks.
Thanks :)
I am such a proud plant mom. Lol. I purchased a Monstera in a 4.5 inch pot (about 11cm) on the sale table at my grocery store and have been so worried about it. I’ve been rewarded with a new leaf growing! I could just burst with the excitement. I can only aspire to what you have but I’ve managed not to kill a plant that isn’t pothos so there is always hope for me!
You have a very nice selection of plants 🪴 well maintained and healthy good job bravo 👏
WOW Your Plants Are Amazing 😍 Watched Your Moving Video wow were you a Mess😮 Hopefully Your All Better Now Relaxed & Enjoying Your New Home as it's A Beautiful Spot
Hope You Got Yourself Another Bed 😂🤣😂
Brad is soooooo cccuuuttteee 😽😽😽😽🐈😊😊😊😊😊
‘On the way to the shops there’s one climbing a lamppost’ I almost heard a big sigh coming all the way from Europe ;) a monstera in our backyard is so persistent we need to have a go at it with an axe on a regular basis.
😂
You are such a joy to watch so personable and the Kitty combination is too cute. I love the mystery plant looks like hearts or like it has Mickey Mouse ears. Trying out your soil recipe and like it a lot. Thank you.
Thanks :)
Jan, you should try putting a crawler on a D shaped pole filled with your reg substrate and see what happens 😂 will it really know the difference?! especially once its roots are growing in the pole? If you let one grow on the pole while the pole is horizontal on the ground, and then stand it up once the roots are attached and the substrate has densed up bit through watering, I feel that it might just work!
Beatiful plants,the air must be so fresh.😊
I love your collection, as always. I love watching your channel. Also, I'd love to have the plant someone shared with you to see how it would grow in your conditions, I think its beautiful and rare.❤❤❤
Thank you so much!:)
So beautiful plants inside your house
.
Your good intentions are so appreciated. Love that you call out people who are critical for the sake of being critical. Here for it!
Your plants are gigantic! So many people like these delicate little plants everywhere but I want fewer but larger plants. The only issue for large plants is watering them. I prefer to keep my plants in their nursery pots placed in a decorative planter. I then lift out the nursery pot, take it to the sink and water it well and let is drain fully. My plants love the south facing window of my sun porch but we have an overhang on our condo building which ends up protecting them from too much son.
Im jealous of people with this much natural light
This looks like heaven
That manjula is fire!!!
It looks like love hearts are the leaves ❤
Enjoy your approach and style, thank you!
I'm jealous of the weather conditions in your country.
🤣🤣🤣 Sheffield Made Plant!! I love the collab fellas!!
just whaaaw , i re seen it again today , really congrats , my head off
A nice walk around your apartment, but bragging about Monstera living outside... now for sure I "hate" were you live 😅. But great to see all your plants and also the way they live.
I got a large cutting from a lady who had monstera growing all over her back yard, south Australia, now im growing it under my tree, yes outside! 😂
@@natalieshigrov8550 😈... 😉
I really really really like your channel a lot. It’s become part of my routine
Thank you :)
I love plants !! I have over 200 in my home and plan on more!! Now if there were a dating site to meet men like u who love plants and animals like I do I'd be set in life ❤️
Love your plants💕
They look so happy!😀
A German who likes things to be structured, organised and neat. Not surprising 😂 no hate though, I’m the same!
Haha !
Woww.. beautiful!
Your Dioscorea discolor is lovely - front and back. Dioscorea's are notorious for being fast growers and then going through a dormant phase. In the USA there are plenty of Dioscorea's that are growing wild in the deep South (USDA Zones 8 - 11 tropical) that are labeled as invasive plants by the States they now reside in. There are plenty of vegetable/fruit plants that are pretty or unusual looking enough to be used as outdoor bedding plants like bloody sorrel (Rumex sanguinous), purple bush bean and walking onion.
Canna 'Cleopatra' is a chimera.
Jan, you are fortunate to not have dust mite, pet or fungus spore allergies. Over 50% humidity creates ideal conditions for dust mite and fungus growth which is really bad for people with respiratory allergies. 30% humidity is on the low side but not so low that you can get very dry skin and a bloody nose.
House dust mites have specific environmental requirements for their development. The mites tend to be most numerous in warm homes with high humidity. Optimum conditions for growth and development are around 75 - 80 degrees F (24 - 27 degrees C) and 70 - 80 percent relative humidity. House dust mites absorb and lose moisture through their skin, and are very vulnerable to dehydration. Consequently, humidity levels within the home have a significant effect on survival. Dust mites cannot survive well at relative humidities below 50 percent. Although mite populations tend to be low in dry climates, most homes throughout the United States are capable of supporting dust mites. House dust mites and their allergenic particles are present within homes year round, but people tend to have fewer symptoms during the summer, perhaps because they spend more time outdoors.
A dehumidifier is needed for people with dust mite and mold spore allergies.
I think that Alocasia Regal Shield looks much better sitting there than previously P. Sodiroi. Good choice!
와~~~~ 멋있다 👍 고양이도 넘 귀여워요😻
I have a huge amount of monsteras in my backyard which is a little tropical forest remains in Rio de janeiro mountains. I would never need to put one of those inside my living room lol 😂 But watching yours gave me a urgent need to bring them inside . Great channel! Thank you ❤ Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
Hey Jan! Do you have a philodendron hastatum? (silver sword) Im a sucker for blue plants, and this one takes the cake. Even upon maturity the leaves get very arrow shaped and it retains it pronounced blue color. Plus, it tends to stay fairly compact here. How do you feel about blue plants? :)
Im super shocked that the Stuttgart hasn't burned with all that variegation in full sun. I have the cleopatras here along with tropicana in the landscape. They can be a bit aggressive / invasive if they aren't maintained every couple of years. Cleopatra doesn't have stable variegation which is why its sometimes green or red, or both. Its chaotic variegation. If you cut the old blooms off where seeds begin to grow it helps to encourage branching and additional flowers! :)
I have four cats who all love plants as well, and it's kind of interesting because I have several that are very toxic to cats that it would only take a small amount and they could make them very sick, and they'll sniff it and they're rub their face on it but they won't bite it. In fact they don't bite or chew or mess with in a way that could cause them harm any of the poisonous ones actually the only ones they choose strangely enough are the ones that aren't poisonous so somehow they know somehow they can tell I don't know if maybe they bit into it and there's a flavor or if there's a smell, but the only thing I have to worry about my cats with is in the big pots they want to lay down and try to sleep and if there's soil on top they'll try to use it like a cat box which has definitely killed plants before but I just put some rocks in there and some mulch And it usually works fine, we also got a bunch of these little figurines that are meant to decorate like fish tanks and reptile tanks and stuff, and placed them all into the big pot so if they tried to lay down they would lay on these pointy little figurines and it would be uncomfortable.
I have a different blockia in particular that I had saved from clearance, that was pretty rough looking at the plant head been broken, but I got it for like three bucks and it was still a very large, anyway, it took like a month before I started seeing any new gross on that poor thing, because every single day before I got some rocks put in it, I would get home and the cat would be asleep in the pot, and I don't know why but rolled over to lay against the plant so it kept making the plant lean at like a 45° angle. Lol
I have a big croton That one cat inparticular loves to lay in, that diffenbachia that another cat loves to lay in, and for some reason all cats are particularly attracted to my ficus Benjamina, and one of my small leaf calathias, ( I can't remember what species it is but it looks like a ctenanthe. )
That calalthia that I was talking about, it's a clearance save that was getting over watered at Lowe's, took it home, broke it down put it in a pot with drainage in a nice new chunky soil mix, trimmed off a bunch of the old dead leaves and got it looking nice again, and literally within hours, and that poor thing keeps getting knocked over by cats it's The only plant ships like on its own designated plant stand in front of the main window that looks out at the street, so my two dogs will often try to look out the window and then the process bumps the calathea. But it's literally the perfect spot for it so I don't want to move it. But yeah that poor thing has got the worst of it. And my big croton has taken a tumble once because of it.
So yeah that's my issue, cats sleeping in the plants and dogs knocking over plants trying to look out the window.
So how I have the majority of my plans to range is in front of the big front window It doesn't get quite as much light as I would like but it's enough for most of the plants to survive and not get laggy or have problems the rest of them are going in from Northeast south and west facing windows depending on what the plant is anyway so I have a big wood rack that holds I don't 30 plants or so and then the other 15 or so are scattered around in front of other windows, and then I also have two kids who each have six or eight plants, most of them are all in one pot in a big succulent arrangement that I made each of them and then they each have their own dysregular house plants unfortunately the window in my son's room is the best window for plants in the house It's not very big but it is just perfect life so my poor son is going to end up having to share his room with plants lol.
Hey - you're a total inspiration, thank you for sharing!
Thanks :)
Amazing video mate.. I love that vertical system. And also the moos poll method. All the best !!!
Thanks :)
Very entertaining, thank you Jan. 🙂
Hi Jan! Your plants are magnificent, as usual! I wanted to put something out there and see if other people have had this experience. Whenever I expose my albo variegata plants to higher sunlight, it does not increase the amount of variegation, but it does keep the variegated parts of the plant pristine and white rather than them turning brown. Anyone else?
Great collection! 💚 💚 💚 🐈
Beautiful aroid
I believe that is 💯 correct with the Cebu Blue! We are all so Jealous of your plants man, keep up the great growing and content!
Thanks :)
Jan I enjoyed your interpretive dance when talking about the Pinnatum growth habits. 😜
Awesome 🌱💚🌿
Thank you for another entertaining and informative video full of great content! So thankful for all the information you provide. I would love a video of how you managed to move all those plants to your new apartment as I am moving soon and would love some of YOUR tips!
“I decided to hide them in a corner because they really made me angry.” Hahahahaha. That statement made me laugh so hard. Plants SHOULD make you happy and not angry. :-)
In the rainforest pyramid at Moody Gardens, there are cebu blue that are 60 feet tall.. they have no blue in the mature foliage.
when are you going to write a book? "hey i shake my plants and they like it, fuck off" "hey I want to help you and teach you stuff stop calling me a liar"
Ive said it before. You are the man
Thanks :)
My manjula is still very small. Can't wait to see it get big.
Hello , your plants look very healhy , very nice
The way you ordnerer your plants is amazing , here i making such a miss 🤣🤣 its like everything is true each other hahahaha yeahhhh, i like to see it you can ;-)
Hi, the manjula leaf should be almost triangular, I’ve seen a giant golden pothos on a 30m tree 🌳 the top leaf where giant , the size of your dubia 😊
The Lindenii one on the balcony is a Xanthosoma used to be Caladium. Great collection still can t get over how lush it is.
It’s actually a Phyllotaenium now, used to be Xanthosoma :D
in my experience the light increases the variegation, even kick starts it in plants that have lost it... my albo almost turned green, and changing the light made it very very white... just my experience
wow beautiful plants ❤️❤️❤️
Very impressive collection.
Thanks :)
Hi Jan. In my experience alocasias like to be up potted and stop putting new leaves when the pot is not big enough anymore. I would try to put the Jacklyn and the cuprea on slightly bigger pots. Mine usually put new leaves soon after that :)
