  • Tropical garden tour at a private residence in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia. A small cosy little garden that looks like the jungle/ rainforest. Tropical plants includes many rare plants from the family of Alocasia, Ferns, Begonias from Borneo and the rest of Asia living in harmony with the the sought after Aroids - including the monstera obliqua, anthurium luxurians and a gigantic anthurium vietchii from Central America. Small space (that even boasts an outdoor shower!) with maximum impact using layers of planting and creative use of wood.

    What a fantastic garden! I absolutely adore those plants. In the UK, we have to go to big botanical gardens in big glass houses to see such plants. But it's great to see a mini rain forest where it's the right natural growing conditions for these plants. Great video, your channel is one best I have seen. Keep up the excellent work!

    The Aglaonema at 3:56 is Aglaonema commutatum 'Alumina', which was originally found in the province of Rizal on Luzon, while the vine at 17:40 is Phanera aherniana var. subglabra, which occurs in both Borneo and Palawan. Love the way you pronounce 'Alocasia'- the way it should be! However, 'reginae' should roll off the tongue as 're-hee-na-e', as there is no 'J' sound in Latin 😊

    • @leafing.around
      @leafing.around  2 роки тому +5

      Thank you sooooo much for the vine ID and the correct way to pronounce Reginae!😊🤗🌱

    • @andreachang9998
      @andreachang9998 2 роки тому +1

      @@leafing.around In English-speaking countries, there are two Latin pronunciations: classical Latin and church Latin. In classical Latin (i.e. academic Latin, which includes the Latin used for scientific names), "reginae" would be pronounced with the "j" sound. In church Latin (a.k.a. ecclesiastical Latin), it would be pronounced as "re-hee-na-e," as Jardinerong Sunog mentioned. However, in English-speaking countries, church Latin is pretty much only used when singing in Latin, and in traditional church services (e.g. Roman Catholic masses), not when naming plants. Since your video is in English, your English pronunciation of "reginae" was correct.

    I have a philodendron Plowmanii. It keeps getting new leaves and they are beautiful green then they start turning yellow. I try magnesium and good fertilizer. I also just tried iron. It is under lights so it gets plenty of light and I do not water until almost dry.. What am I doing wrong? The stem is very stiff and nothing is mushy or rotting. It has 65% humidity. On the Colocasia. You can buy the bulb and it will do great if not left out in the raini before they start. Much cheaper than the plant. Colocasia love water and can be used in ponds.
