I just got a lageria delivered! Nurseries should pay you big bucks, Stephen! You make people crave so many cool plants. I am starting my own 'Stephen Ryan collection'
i bought one for my wife from your shop, and it was doing well until i decided to adjust ph down and that almost killed it entirely. i adjusted ph back up, but it's almost dead. i repotted into chunky pumice, hoping that the barely alive couple of stems can make it. i plan on getting more of them and not ph adjust ever again. in terms of fertilizer i plan on using weak growth technology focus on foliage and focus on flower. i've changed pretty much all my pot plants to chunky (7-20mm) pumice, and they're all thriving, with no more moisture problems. thanks for vid
It's one of the world's most spectacular plants. If you were on the top of Kentucky's highest mountains, the nights might actually be cool enough to grow it outside - in the summer. You'd need a conservatory to keep it protected from freezes in winter of course. For most people in continental climates, nights are going to be too warm for it to grow and flower well. The only place you really see them in the CONUS is from Monterrey, CA up to maybe Coos Bay, Oregon. People grow them around Seattle but they need winter protection there.
love this....been growing 2 seed started plants since 2016 in San Francisco. 1 red has done reasonably well, bloomed sparsely 2 or 3 times, 1 allegedly white has absolutely refused to budge above 2 feet.
Love your coverage ofLapageria, I grow Rosea in a cool shaded greenhouse in Southern Ireland. It flowers prolifically and is about 25 yrs old. Could I propogate from root piece as some roots are visible at ground level. LOVE your videos. Thanks.
Hi I live in New Plymouth on the west cost of new zealand and my Lapargia just arrived. I was planning to plant it in a shady corner South facing in front t of a 5 metre high retaining wall/fence. I think it might be almost perfect conditions as the temperature range is 5 to 27 degrees (a truely temperate climate and we are about 500metres from the sea. However I realise that will be a bit slower growing than I expected should I plant it with another climber which might not flower that much because in the shade but will provide some greenery and if so what would you recommend I was thinking of Gelsemium sempervirens (yellow Jasmine it might be a bit vigorous)) or an evergreen white Clematis
I found this really interesting . I have 2 climbers/ vines that I just cannot propagate for friends The chocolate flower vine ( akebia) and the white boumontia . I presume I could try this method with Them? Any particular preference tome for taking those cuttings ? Sydney here
Great video. I've got mine over a climbing obelisk, in a big pot on my east-facing balcony in Sydney. Earlier this year all the leaves were looking really blotchy and sick, so I cut the whole thing right back to ground level - and it's re-growing very happily. What I'm not sure about is (1) does it need fertilising (2) if so, when and (3) how/where/when do you prune it? I'm scared of cutting off potential flowering buds for next season's flowers. Thanks!
make sure the foliage is regularly syringed with water which stops red spider mite as a rule which could be the reason for the eaves looking awful. the plant shouldn’t be pruned unless absolutely essential as this will stop it flowering for some years and feed once a year with a slow release fertiliser and about once a month with a liquid one like Charlie carp. Regards Stephen
@@thehorti-culturalists the top half is putting out lots of new growth but I have quite a few sick-looking leaves further down - could I send you a photo to get your thoughts?
Hello and thanks for this amazing video, im originally from chile but i live and Canada, my girlfriend and i, we are looking everywhere on Internet and nothing, Do You have a place you can recommend to get seeds on internet ? please that will be very appreciated, thank you so much !
Sorry but I haven't heard of a source for seed on the net. Having said that the seed must be kept moist and only has a short viability so if you found a source they would need very fresh seeds. Regards Stephen
Hi, I’m interested in buying the seeds of this plant in the uk for indoors, would be that possible? I need some advice please, thanks! Beautiful video guys❤
The seeds of Lapageria are hard to buy as they can’t be dried out and only have a short viability. if it can be bought then local not imported seed would be the best option. Regards Stephen
This is actually a question for Matthew, regarding a phaleonopsis orchard that has not liked the repotting into a larger pot. Clearly to big for the plant. Should I repot again into a smaller container or will this do further damage? Up until now it was very floriferous. Belong to a friend. Thank you
Hi Kay! They are fairly tough so I'd re-pot it down into a pot that is just big enough to take the root mass in a loose free draining bark mix. I'd keep it on the drier side until the roots look to be active. Good luck! Matthew
Is this where I post a question? I have a large garden in the southern highlands (cold) and a couple of balconies in Sydney’s inner city (temperate but warmer due to urban heat sink). Will my “dry tolerant shade plants” in the garden be good candidates to be transplanted in pots on the city balconies that don’t get much sun and are not regularly watered. Fatsia? Bergenia? Any suggestions are most welcome! I like white and blue flowers and leaf variegation. Balconies are neglected for weeks at a time 😐 THANKS FOR THE VIDS! 😊
Helĺo. Please can suggest how grow lapageria from seeds. i had 2 attempets and now is 3. I did stratification 1 mounth. How long do need wait first a sprouts and what percentage on germination?.i am apolagas for the mistakes. English is not my native language. Thanks❤
The seed doesn't need to be stratified but does need to be sown as soon as ripe. If you buy seeds they are usually too old and need to be shipped moist. Seed should germinate quite soon after sowing. Regards Stephen
The original bellflowers are huge trees that can be climb. My mother had a tall tree in the 60s. It was a big tree when know it. That means it much older than the time when I know it. I haven't seen the original big trees bellflowers since. The much smaller version ones are very popular in my neighborhood. The tree are much smaller on the ground and they can't be climbed.

It's working then! Regards Stephen
Colibrí is the correct word for hummingbird in Spanish! Love it. In Puerto Rico we call hummingbirds colibrí and zumbadores (side note)
Thanks for watching!
In French too!!!
And in Russian too :)
I like that you had 'Your on candid camera' sign in the background. Beautiful flowers and informative video. Thanks.
Ha! Well spotted!

Excellent video. I like that you admit you too have occasional plant failures. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching!
Hello from Kentucky. Nice to see you guys again! What a stunning flower, totally new to me and a complete tease - no way it would grow here. 😕
Thanks for watching - we can dream!

Thanks for the tip on layering for propagation. I would think division could be done but some risk involved.
No problem! Regards Stephen
What a good idea. My favorite. Love you guys.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for a great video. I just want to rush out and buy one, they are so beautiful ❤

I wouldn't mix it with another climber but just be patient. Regards Stephen

The chocolate flower vine ( akebia) and the white boumontia .

This should work with both. Do it in winter for preference. Regards Stephen

Hi Stephen & Mathews, thank you for sharing this interesting video! Could you please let me know the source of Fresh seeds. Will this grow in India
Sorry but I am unaware of anywhere that you could get seed. Regards Stephen
apparently Plant World in the UK has them
I thought the eating of the fruit and sowing the seeds was quite elegant!
Thank you!
Hello. I have question again. What temperetare needs for better germination seeds?
I germinate Lapageria outdoors in my shade house as it comes from a cool climate. Regards Stephen
Hello. from Bruce Mines Ontario Canada. So, what does the seed pod taste like?
Sweet and sticky.! Regards Stephen

And evergreen I guess, as the pots would just be receptacles of dry dirt for half of the year 🤪
Certainly Fatsia, as well as Aucuba, Ruscus, Danae etc. Regards Stephen

lol "syringe"? Do you mean mist? . What a stunning plant.
Yes mist or syringe are both terms used. Regards Stephen
