So much usable info! Yes, it is hard to find information. This plant is on my wish list, at the top.
I guess from your UA-cam name you are in UK. I bought my plant originally from Dibley's in Wales, who have a fine selection of begonias and do mail order but unfortunately I can't order from them any more because of Brexit. I hope they still have B. luxurians. If they do, don't be afraid of buying a tiny plug. It's worth it. The plant grows quickly. Good luck.
Great collection . I envy you your space/light . Nice to see a collection from Ireland . Don't seem to be that many people into house plants here .
Ah there are a good few of us 😉
Wonderful repot and your plants look so pretty and healthy ❤.
Thank you, Wanda. It's the time to pay them some attention.
They are beautiful! Wishing you and your family a Happy Christmas 🎄 😊.

Many thanks, Bonny. You too 🌲🌟🎁❄️☃️
I didn't know anything about this plant !
you always give us so much variety on plants in your channel Rachel 💚🌿☺️
Well, I try. There are plenty of videos out there about ordinary plants so why not talk about the unusual!
wow, beautiful house plants. thanks for sharing. be safe. hope you feel better soon.
Thank you. Hopefully I'll be grand by Christmas
Wonderful, I love seeing your indoor collection!
Thanks so much! 😊 More to come.
I have been on the fence about getting this plant. Your video has convinced me to get it. It is so beautiful and I can see it in my space . Even if I have to get a grow lights to maintain it I have got to have this plant.
It is a real beauty. A large specimen is the epitome of stylishness 🤩
A very enjoyable video. I wish you a speedy recovery and a very pleasant Christmas ❤🎄🪻
Thank you! You too, Fernanda ☃️❄️🌲🌟🎁
Interesting and enjoyable..
Get well soon.
Thank you, I will
More house plant tours, please! Maybe a plant room per video? Garden is sleeping until mid february, so you would have have something for january... ??? ...
Thanks for your enthusiasm. I hope to make a houseplant tour video for Christmas eve (the sitting room) and, if you don't get to watch it then, it'll be there after Christmas for you.
merry Christmas Rachel. Houseplants all look lovely and healthy. I lost my escargot during the summer
Hi Tina and merry Christmas to you too. I'll have to bring some escargot leaves when we next meet up. Do you have sizemoreae?
@@GardeningatDouentza HI Rachel that would be great. No I don't have sizemorae. Thank you
Hi Rachel,
I really enjoyed your video.. Such lovely plants 😍👍
Watching you from Cork 💗 Clonakilty
Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄

Greetings from Wexford to Cork and happy Christmas to you too
I feel your pain... it took 2 people to repot my 8 foot tall coffee tree -- it will die in that pot because it is a job I'm not doing again 🤣
Haha. Yes, know that feeling 😅
I am beginning to wonder why we bother using potting soil for house plants. I've repotted a couple of mine from potting soil to a blend of coconut husk, perlite, charcoal, and chopped sphagnum with just a very small amount of potting soil and what a difference. Root explosion, the plants look better and a lot harder to "over water" because the mix drains really well but does a good job of holding onto moisture.
Probably just what we are used to and the level of care we are willing to put in 😀
So you just add liquid fertiliser?
@@GardeningatDouentza yes, I’d be adding it either way.
Girlfriend you sound sick. I applaud your stanima ! I want the palm leaf begonia but they are so expensive right now. I will continue to wait for an affordable price. Years ago you showed some plants in bloom in your greenhouse. I just loved it so searched the internet found the bulbs for sale and they arrived. I potted and labeled them. They never bloomed so I tried them outside. I brought them in in Fall and noticed the labels were blank. I don't know what they are now and they are dormant at the time. The leaves are similar to crocus. The only thing on the label that I can read is red,blue, white😂3 pots of something. Lesson learned label with care lol love your videos. Have a very Merry Christmas and the happiest ever New Year🎉
Thank you for your kind message. Still struggling with a silly cold but feeling better now. As for the bulbs that you lost the label of, did you try searching in your email. If you bought online there should be a record in your email. Yeah, I know what you mean when a desirable plant is overpriced. They usually come down in price in the end so fingers crossed. Wishing you good things and happy Christmas.
@@GardeningatDouentza It was maybe 3 yrs ago so I couldn't find anything. I'll try taking a pic.
Hi Rachel, do you have any advice on how to get my H. papillo to flower? I started the plant from seed. One of the bulbs is quite large with a couple of offsets but does not bloom. Interesting one of seedlings grew about 4 times faster than its sibling. Can't wait to see it bloom. I grow it in wick watering system in a mixture of sphagnum and oyster grit . I fertilize like a do my orchids and flush with pure water regularly.
Congratulations on growing papilio from seed and getting it to such a size. I am not sure how well I can help you with your papilio as I grow mine quite differently. It should be noted that they are evergreen so shouldn't be cut back, as you might do with a terrestrial hippeastrum, but I'm sure you know that. Light and feed would be the most likely culprits for non-flowering.
Thanks. I'll try increasing light. Happy Holidays
So Jealous of your Begonia luxurians & Papilio !
Lost my Begonia lux. and Papilio is struggling 😢No matter what potting mix I use, Papilio just 'melts' & stops growing. it's currently in a 75% Orchid bark.. the rest is a good potting soil. Never sure if I should keep it moist... or dry during Winters' indoors? it's in an East Bay Window (away from the cold glass).
Well, my papilio stays fairly dry overwinter because the pot is too small and dries out quickly. I've just used potting mix and hort. sand for mine
