Houseplant Tour 2023 My Entire Plant Collection ( 500 Plants )
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 сер 2024
- This houseplant tour is a pretty long one but I take you on a plant tour through my entire basement setup. Pretty much every plant in my house is grown down here in this plant room. I have a wide range of all kinds of plants ranging from seedlings to mature specimen. I hope you enjoy this style of video and this gives you a better idea about Techplant and what's behind the scenes.

“There’s a lock on here so the plants can’t escape” 😂😂😂 you know them plants always trying to get away haha
sometimes i catch one crawling up the stairs " I NEEEED SUNLIGHTTTT AHHHHHHHHHHH" as i drag it back into the basement
@@TechplantChannel lmao 🤣
I let my plants free range, they can go where ever they want in my apartment, I trust them enough.
lol
Hahaha
Dude I had NO IDEA you were growing that many! Your basement looks like a plant lab you'd have to explore in a video game
yeah lol im happy i got to finally show it. Its really nice to walk inside and I love just staring at them all
@@TechplantChannel with this video I truly understand your channel name. You're the mad scientist of the plant community!
The absolute chaotic nature of your plant care helps me relax SO much when it comes to how I care for mine. Thank you for the reminder that you don't always need fancy/expensive things to enjoy a plant hobby.
4:13 it is diffenbachia! I have the dotted version, they can grow really huge! My biggest one was 8 years old and above 2 m when it started flowering. Unfortunately I had to chop it up because I _really_ started to run out of space… ^^ anyways, I love the content you create! This basement is awesome!
You made me laugh so much in your video. 😂🤣 and I am happy to see I am not the only one with the mealies and mites.
yeah they are eternal I can never get a 100% removal so randomly they show up. Glad the humor came accross well
I really appreciate seeing your Less Than Ideal looking plants. It makes me feel a lot better about some of my sad and straight up failed plants 💖
Yeah for sure I kill stuff all the time. It's normal and part of thr learning process. AND even if i know how to raise it i can make mistakes or life just gets busy and things croak lol
A few things...
1. Go to the doctor if you're getting short of breath easily! It's a symptom that can turn serious quite easily. (End mom mode)
2. Man, it was a comfort not seeing the Instagram perfect grow spaces... and behind the scenes!
3. I will be using this video to show my husband what "too many plants" would start to look like in my head and try to justify buying more. 😅
lmao, I hope this helps you get more plants! I can breath its just i dont talk a lot but when i talk for like 20min straight and im congested im like running out of air. if it keeps up tho i will go to the doc. Thanks for watching and thanks for the concern!
You are truly an agent of chaos! But the really full corner that you say you love is totally awesome. I think your tent project is gonna be cool to watch. I also really enjoyed to see your vanilla plant and those dark anthuriums... 🤩
Yeah im very excited for it, i hope it turns out how im dreaming of it
Hey! Thanks for the shoutout.....it is fun doing experiments! I laughed when I saw your wind chime....it reminded me of Seinfeld when Kramer sent up a screen door on his apartment and then rang his wind chime 🤣
lmao I need a fan to blow on it
You have a cloud forest in your basement and it is SUPERB! Nicely done
Thank you! Cheers!
Love to see your walk in terrarium. Jeff at Everything Plants is also one of my favorites. So glad both of your channels are doing well and I always look forward to your videos. Fun to see your controlled chaos.
yeah i really like his channel! I will try and be quick with the walk in terrarium but its a big project so probably wont have much for a month or two
so cool ! this lab is so fun. Secret lab and cave vibe lol
yeah pretty much! I love it
"some little dome with some ferns in there, doin fern things" lol nice
I will make a video about it eventually there is something special about it!
I really love how you’ve grown as a creator, and it’s cool to see a different form of video from you. Been watching for years and don’t comment often but I just truly appreciate your love for plants. I’m shocked that you have utilized the basement in a way that I wouldn’t have expected! Seeing your creation of a sealed room to keep humidity in is amazing! Love that you continue to make videos, and you make me feel inspired to start my own!! Hope you’re having a great week! Can’t wait to see more content from you! Keep trying new things!!
Thanks for the kind words! I like the basement because i dont have to be so strict with water and dirt messes
Wow! That is a gorgeous corner. 🪴🪻🌾🌿☘️🌺
ty so much for how in depth this was i was getting ready to ask about your film setup cuz your vids are so crisp but then you showed everything!!! best channel on youtube hands down and i watch youtube all day everyday lol
Glad that you enjoyed that part, if you have any other questions about the filming stuff just hit me up on IG techplant.official
Huge collection of your plants sir
Watching fully
Thanks for sharing your ideas very interesting content
Thanks for taking the time to watch!
FYI at 4:28 Urs that’s a Diffenbaucia.8:35 looks like an H.Australis.18:18 Silver Quill common name.27:12 Thaumatophyllum sprucanium ( spelling) My Thai had big sectoral cream / white an it has turned into mostly speckling so the sectorial can grow out. Exciting too see what your P. Crassinervium does, love your set up 💚 Feel better soon
Wow thanks for all the identification you are spot on!
wow ..I am so envious of your plant room!
not everyone has their own jungle in the basement. 😄 Truly beautiful indeed..so many plants.. just incredible...
Thanks!!
Wow, fantastic!!👍😍😍😍😊
This was such a fun and informative video! You make some of my favourite plant content on UA-cam, love the experimental aspect and science you bring to the plant hobby 😊
Thanks for the kind words! Im happy you enjoyed the tour!
Oh heck yeah I'm hyped for your 5x5 terrarium 💓 .... Can't wait!
This is an awesome video and it's so cool to see how things have grown. 🥰 As always I love your raw honesty and how much it say "crap"🤣. Also I have lived in WA my hole life I say "bag" just like you and I get made fun of too ❤️ I am asked a lot of I am from the Midwest or Canada 🤣.
Thanks for the tour.
super excited about the huge terrarium
You're the best. I love your videos.
Wow, thank you!
That’s an awesome set up! A whole greenhouse in your basement ?! That’s dope lol 🙌🏽
Thanks! Yeah i wish I could just build one outside but winter sorta ruins that for me
It's like a whole entire plant store in that basement wow.
yeah its getting there lol I should open for business
Thank you for the great tour of the plant room it's nice to see a realistic view of the plants, just like most of us have it can be plant chaos at times. Would love to see a video of the carnivorous plants - I haven't branched out yet to add them to my collection. I would have to have an enclosed tent for them or a terrarium because I live in Minnesota with low humidity in the winter I'm sure you can relate.
I have some older videos that really show them off and the care involved. surprisingly they do not need high humidity! light is probably the most important aspect. also something very cool that you may no know is there are many carnivorous plants native to your state!!! Minnesota actually has a lot of alkaline bogs where you can go and see them in the wild! the midwest even has pitcher plants!
They key to success is just sphagnum moss/perlite/peatmoss then keep them in a dish so they can sit in distilled water at all times and give them good strong light and they will grow great. no need for humidity domes!
Also if you visit a bog be on the lookout for orchids we have a ton of them in the midwest and they grow where carnivorous plants grow. I have a few bog videos about wisconsin but the same can be found in parts of minnesota!

I got a bunch of planted aquariums
Excited for you
Thanks! planted aquariums are so dang cool!
15:19 I grow a lot of Christmas cactus. Some folk will claim that you can tell the difference between Christmas cactus and Easter cactus but honestly they're so hybradised with each other at this point it's not worth bothering with. They're super easy to propagate.
The purple though is not ideal, they're happiest when they're all green. The purple/red is stress. They actually do better on kinda a shadey corner so I reckon your guy is feeling a little burnt, that's probably why yours is so small. They can grow absolutely massive if given the right kind of care.
Yours is doing good, but it can do better if ja know what I mean
I also grow a lot of Christmas cactus and you can actually tell the difference between the species by the flowers if it isn't clear from the clades alone
yeah i cant tell but usually like monster said once you see the flowers its more obvious
Thanks for sharing your set up. Really interesting. It's like visiting an art studio of a professional artist... Anyway, liked and commented. Hope youre feeling well!
Thank you, I love it! Lol I did a terrarium video once and had bronchitis at the time and you could hear me breathing like that. My sister called me Darth Vader. I am glad you are feeling better.
Thanks! I had a lavalier mic on so it was really bad
i'll take a messy tour over no tour. thanks for the video!
thanks for taking the time to watch!
Paraiso Verde also needs heat to variegate like the Jose bueno.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GET ME OUT OF WISCONSIN AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The gardener in me wants to pull those weeds🤭. It would be cool to do some videos where you pot up whatever is in the prop box. It would be a whole series 😂. You have a lot of happy plants.
yeah i desperately need to. Also I do need to pull the weeds they are really bad, they are super susceptible to pests and help spread them quicker!
@@TechplantChannel hah! I’ll come over and help😊
Yay Wisconsin!! Love this basement plant room set up! This is inspiring me to build myself a plant room.
You can do it! before you build this tho, after doing it myself ive learned that it might be easier for you to buy a large 10ft x 10ft grow tent beacuse you can get the humidity way higher inside without ruining your house. I would look into them before constructing anything might be easier
That one plant “ MICHEAL DONT LEAVE ME, COUGH, MICHEAL”
lmao
18:54 the variegation on the paraiso verde ~seems~ to come with heat. mine put out really pretty variegation when it was hitting 80F/27C in my house every day, but since it’s cooled off a bit the leaves are more solid green. i think a mix of green and variegated looks kind of cool so i’m ok with it
I got to get it cooking then
@@TechplantChannel 🔥🔥🔥
Okay I feel so much better about my prop boxes now 😱😂🤣😭
"ill take care of those this week..." 1 year later
Sweet man 😋👍
Love both your channel and Jeff's too! Both so informative and not just endless hauls (no good for my bank account!) Really enjoyed seeing your beautiful collection and hope you will do another one of your outdoor videos, like the wild orchid footage you did last year, loved that 😍🌱Thank you for sharing 👍🌱
Once winter is done ill go and do some more. I can try and do my local conservatory
@@TechplantChannel Yes! That would be great, look forward to watching 👍💯🌱
Also there is a lock on the door so the plants don't escape😂😂
can never be to careful
Bro!!....you have a lot to do in your plant room. Thank you for sharing!!
yeah its never ending lol
Feels like a tour of the Amazon area in S.A. Just missing the birds and the big snakes :) Amazing work, Matthew.
I really wanna visit SA and do some plant tours through the cloud forest! I should release some snakes in there lol
You have a whole greenhouse!
yeah lol its the only way to keep it semi warm during winter months!
One, I loved the tour. But two, I'm so excited for the grow tent terrarium! For wind chimes, I recommend the Corinthian Bells, best sound ever!
I will look into them thank you!
beautiful setup matthew! that succulent i think is some kind of kalanchoe!
and that cactus is not actually a cactus but a euphorbia! :)
i suggest you move that kalanchoe outside,they are winter growers and they need to be outside to be healthy
Loved your video tour and I LOVE your verigated aloe Vera plant along with so many others. Why don't you just have "sections" of dirt and plant them all so your whole collection looks like that Fab corner? Then just go back to an overhead watering system. I'm coming over and hijacking some that you aren't pampering as much 🤣 🙃
I've been thinking about doing that very thing
Oh my God, I love your chill vibe ♥️
Thanks! hope you enjoyed the tour!
@Techplant oh yes! Love it and you've inspired me to change my "everything needs to be perfect" thinking when it comes to plants. :) Thank you for that!
Great video
Thanks!!
nice !
Thanks!
Big big big big
lol
Hi great video. Not sure how you manage so many plants and props kudos to you👍. The paraiso verde is stable variegation as far as I am aware, but does loose it in the winter😊
I should do a short on it. The leaf it came with was beautiful but the growth came from another node and its been like this since Im sure i can chop it to encourage growth from the node with the pretty leaf tho
I grew up across the Lake from you in the Muskegon, MI area. We had basements in most of our houses ranging from root cellar type to fully finished walkout. Some were nice, others were scary as Heck.
yeah, my house is older from the 50's so it sucks cuz the ceilings are very low. but its better than like the super old ones made of stone and dirt lol
I do love your little slice of jungle, I suggest you get some lady bugs, but I keep mites and flys at bay with green pea meal, take dried green peas, grind it up to a fine powder, and sprinkle on the soil. I bet you won't have mite! The enzyme in the peas make it uncomfortable for the mites and flys.
1:16 Dude just use thumbtacks, and put the plastic before screwing the wall in so you can wrap it around and hammer them in, this way you won't have any wood exposed to humidity.
nice idea!
Absolutely awesome video love how you show the ups and downs its inspiring gor sure haha and i think the room is great especially since you are not in a tropical environment but deff looking forward to the huge terrarium update 💯👍
Thanks! Yeah I really want to make the terrerium emulate a real tropical setting so i can watch my plants flourish. If this beta test goes well I might try and make a 10x10 one
The mangrove definitely need some salinity in its life they typically grow and estuaries they require high salty waters.
Surprised to see that many plants you have! Are you going to move the moisture loving plants inside the giant terrarium? Love all your plants. Do you keep some of the plants outdoor in Summer?
Yup that's the plan. I've never put them outside because I didn't want a ton of bugs but I already have bugs so this summer I'll try it
Such an inspiration!
Thanks!
Love this 😍
Thanks for watching!
Love the collection! So much going on! Awesome content 💚
Thanks so much!!
paraiso verde doesnt revert. just give it more light and the variegation will go back. ive also read that they could be heat induced (warmer temp = more variegation).
thats great to hear i should do a whole video to test it out, ive heard the same about jose buono
@@TechplantChannel yes that would be great!! looking forward to it ;)
You may have already seen them but you should look into Nepenthes!
I had one in the video. but its that real common one you see in bigbox nurseries. I really want to collect more but the prices are so high lol. Once i build my giant terrarium ill get a rare one that will do good in there
Very big collection, I am aiming to have a plant basement soon, I will be taking a lot of inspiration from your setup!
For the big bush anthurium, I think I have one that is doing the same thing. Normally once a cataphyll is formed, only flowers will emerge from petioles. I think there might be a genetic/hormone imbalance that cause this plant to produce leaf from petioles even if a cataphyll is developed (or think of it as when the plant should have produced a flower, it produce a leaf instead) And then the extra leaf will eventually produce new leaf/cataphyll of its own and just becomes a big bush. I think you mentioned that you haven’t got a flower from it yet, maybe that’s the reason.
seems possible. if you are going to build something in your basement they sell massive 10x10ft grow tents taht may be easier because you can go really high humidity inside without affecting your house. I would have to move everything at this point and cover the walls and ceiling with plastic which is not an easy thing at this point.
Wow! Love your basement jungle 💚
How to you manage pest? Despite my best efforts pest are a never ending struggle.
I just have them and they sorts ebb and flow. Also it helps that it's a basement because I can spray water mixed with neamoil and get it pretty much everywhere.
I should so a video on diff options. But yeah it's a struggle for sure. Just have to focus on not letting it bother you to much when they cause damage so it's not so mentally draining. If you want some other tips find dm me on Instagram techplant.official
I feel like my plant collection is out of control and I have like... 15 plants.
That's why you can see so many dead or half dead plants along with mealybugs and spidermites I can't keep this stuff in a non chaotic state
I do not usually watch long house plant tour videos but yours was great. You have quite a jungle growing down there. We all have those things that need to be done. I like how you are keeping it real.
Are you growing your plants for resale later or just for fun?
Ok this one I will have to watch in slow motion. I am sure I can find 501 - or just lost track...
lmaoo
Incrível!
Thank you!
My crassinervium also has that kind of striping mutation! Not sure what’s up and neither did my boss at my university’s greenhouse
Interesting. A new leaf is comming in and I'm not sure if it will have it
@@TechplantChannel all the new leaves mine has put out have had it, but it seems to be lessening over time? Hard to tell
💚
Thanks for watching!
I would be interested in a video about how you got into the hobby.
So now that you have done that. Will you be having issue with humidity making the basement moldy? You might needs to work on that soon.
No because I never exceed 60% so far its been ok. If I started going to 70 or 80 I'd have mold. The plastic is mostly to help keep heat in
Awesome collection!!
Question, have you ever dealt with thrips? Please help lol
I've got a grow tent and grow many plants too.
I'd say go through the sundews. But i might be a little bias on that category.
Shop lights are bright enough and they were only ~$20 and my plants do just fine. I've bought the ones that are 5,500 lumens, they are blinding-I need diffusers just so I can see.
yeah ive had no issue with mine as well. I did cut the diffuser off tho just to get a little more direct oomf but i dont think it was necessary
19:30
Lol
Have you looked into systemic pesticides? I know it sounds scary at first but it’s really helped me in the long run with pest on my collection. Just keep it away from children and pets
Sir, I believe that’s a jungle. 😂
you need a cal mag fertilizer :D
Turn a thousand or so ladybugs loose in there. They'll take care of your mealybug prob
when the weather gets better ill order some
Dude your in Wisconsin? So am i!! Where are you located?
Greater milwaukee area
@@TechplantChannel that's awesome iam up north and just got into plant care and I absolutely love your videos.
Hi dude
Hey, thanks for stopping by
@@TechplantChannel omg omg you really replied your amazing what light do you use for your drosara I grow carnivores plants and have been for like 2-3 years i need a new light tho so any recommendations
Where did you buy your anthuriums seeds?
I get a lot of them from friends or my own anthurium. They are all starting to flower consistently now
Lmao philodendron "meow"ii
What's the long stem fern/fern-like plant that's in front of the arrow plants at 5:20
Dion edule it's a cycad the seeds are avail all over etsy I have a video about growing them. The name might be misspelled a little if that doesn't find them let me know
@@TechplantChannel awesome thanks!
The bulbs with the speckled leaves is a Scilla, or leopard lilly. It blooms sprays of small white flowers. Hey, we need you to have the plants and cuttings labeled!! 😄🪴🌱
How much is that electric bill? 👀👀
50-60$ a month for the grow room lol
How do you handle watering all these? All on the same schedule or just as you see it needs it or what?
I let most of it get pretty dry before coming through and watering. Sometimes I water just sections. It kinda all depends. I use almost the same medium for everything these days which is just like 50/50 perlite and peatmoss and it dries fast so pretty much everything is in sync I can do a dedicated video on that. I have some decent learned info for watering but i need to try and compile it all for a good video
I had the same question. Would love to see a video on that
aw man youre married?! lol damn it. oh well ill still watch!
lol sorry! appreciate the support!
Do you trade for mini orchids? I have some cool stuff you might really "dig".
sure hit me up on instagram techplant.official
So you finally googled or UA-camd on how to do it. That is the only way to do it. Is to roll the plastic
Do you display any of those awesome plants around your house or do you just keep them all in the basement? Just curious whether they work your way into your house or they all just live in your man/ plant cave
Not really because I have a 1.7 year old son who would seak and destroy lol
Lol dude. Time to consolidate.
they naturally consolidate as they die off lol
"Whatever"
Lol I should say 'it is what it is' lol
What does your wife think of all of this? 😅
theres a reason its hidden in the basement lol, out of sight out of mind lmaoo. she thinks its cool tho, shes not crazy about plants like i am but shes not against them lol
What a mess..
I know its chaos in there, I just posted a video of me cleaning it but even after cleaning its still a mess LMAO
are you trying to live in a jungle
yes lol
@@TechplantChannel well there a old movie name troll 1986 , you probably will like it
I really had a good laugh w the slime mold😆🫶( didn't know you were a wi ite too👍)
