This video makes me want to dedicate my life to preserve plant species in its native habitat. I got so inspired by how he helped the locals in China to build school and in the end also helped the plant to bounce back. Thank your Summer so much for sharing!
I learned a good amount about Cycads and conservation from this video. People just don't realize that when they deplete a plant population in the wild that they are destroying ecosystems. The idea of working with the locals and their needs in the effort to save plant habitats seems extremely valuable and necessary. Wonderful video!! 👍🏼
The series on Thailand has been wonderful and a joy to watch. Thanks, Summer for all the behind-the-scenes effort it took to create the videos, let alone the travel to get there.
Florida has a native cycad called Zamia integrifolia. They range from 2ft with extremely narrow leaflets to the 5ft Palatka giant. Florida has alot of native plants people wouldn't associate with Florida like a native tree fern, rhipsalis, peporomia, lantana, columbine and the ghost orchid. I love Summer's videos.
This video was so insightful! So much knowledge being spread through a houseplants channel. I’d have never thought a place like that had such an amazing program for cultivation and conservation.
Am I the only one wondering how and where did the camera person positioned in the car, in the same time recording and zooming between Summer and Anders and not fall off the car??
WOW! Absolutely amazing, astounding! One of the most interesting, informative, engrossing and delightful episodes I've seen on UA-cam, ever! Enchanting and poignant, very educational and aesthetically pleasing all in one. I'd watch hours and hours of content like this.
Hello Summer! I just want to say thank you for inspiring me to make my own UA-cam channel about plants. Plants is one of my best hobbies and helps with my stress and anxiety. I love making content on UA-cam even though i dont have many views or subscribers. I am 15 years old so dont have much but you have helped me with tips and tricks with plants and photography. Thanks for inspiring me Summer and keep making fantastic videos!
What an Absolutely amazing Cycad collection at Nong Nooch! A spectacular place, to see nearly every Cycad that exists at one very special location! If I ever get the opportunity in my lifetime to visit, I will definitely take advantage and do so.
Where I live in Florida there is a little known but very deep history of cycad cultivation stretching back upwards of ten thousand years. It is thought that the coontie palm (Zamia integrifolia) was initially brought to the peninsula by indigenous peoples from the Caribbean who harvested and processed the starchy roots of the plant as a primary source of carbohydrates. It’s crazy to think about how entire societies may have been structured around access to such a seemingly strange (and toxic!) plant. I am interested to learn more about how this hardy plant may serve humanity in the future with climate change wreaking havoc on so many food crops. Awesome video! I am in love with cycads and passionate about protecting them in the wild.
I m so in love with this plant n after seeing this vdo,what immense knowledge I have accumulate God knows,my love for this plant has gone deeper. Ty Summer n Andreas for the knowledge 👍
Here only after researching care of my Sago palms and was not even aware "collecting" plants was a thing. Not surprising I guess. Interesting video and thanks for posting.
Amazing collection and incredibly gorgeous cycads, great video! Another world-class cycad garden is at Huntington Gardens near Los Angeles, they have an amazing number of cycad species planted. So cool!
I watched 3 cycads loose there leaves and regrow again, a couple of years ago, my uncle has 3 in his living room. Beautiful, I spent the last 5 hours doing fork work, removing debris and more fork work. Love conditioning soil. Look, a Dipolodocodupus and a Lipolosucasucas. Kippie
Nong nooch is so expansive if they have this many different species they specialize in. Also its cool they have the last woodii right now (unless its the 2nd male out of the existing ones). I last heard it being in England.
Such a beautiful collection, as someone studying for ichthyological taxonomy it is interesting to hear about the taxonomy. I have been to the Sloane Herbarium collection in the Natural History Museum, London and it is amazing. It is difficult where there is only one type specimen and no paratypes, many older papers describing species are horrifically vague like for fish they will list like it's spotted and that's the most you can get from the paper. I love cycads, I have two Cycas revoluta very hardy plants if given good care.
I watched this some months ago, probably a year now, just came back because where else can you find such great cycad's collection and information about them? Thank you so much for this amazing, informative and beautiful video.
Thank you for this informative video on cycads. Thank you for this informative video. Great interview with the expert covering so many elements of the species and the pressures they are facing from over-collection and spread of pests. Thankfully there are botanic gardens and many responsible collectors-propagators who are working to preserve them. There are some amazingly beautiful specimens that can be seen throughout Southern California.
You know that discussion of collectors harming conservation is why I started leaning away from some more rare things. When I first got into plants, it was into cactus, and going through some mamillaria species, and it was really disheartening to see how many were endangered. And to see that the reasons why, were primarily collectors. It made me want to be very cautious both about how rare I go into plants, and who I buy from. It also turned me on to African violets, bc the majority you'll ever see are just home made cultivars, and usually when you're talking rare here, you mean a weird, pretty, human made one from Russia. It's a little safer as far as conservation goes
This is very interesting episode, its like giving me inspiration to continue my study in biological science, very impressive how they have those cycads primarily for conservation, really amazing , love this video.
Happy New year greetings to you and all the team MEMBERS and subscribers. I am happy to say I have been watching your channel for last 6 months and learned a lot about indoor plants . Our APARTMENT have 2 caucus plants (Japan species). Thank you very much for making so many good videos with lots of Information and knowledge. With Love from Guwahati Assam INDIA Stay blessed n HAPPY
I own a Natalensis and a more rare Msinganus, the woodiis at the Durban botanical garden is huge, branching out making it look like an actual tree that you would see everyday. There’s so many of them too.
wow what a nice collection.... . in Sri lanka , baby cycad leaf curry is very popular and rare dish ( ycas nathorstii j.schust.) and also using for local medicine such as diabetes and fiber related issues.
Very impressive, what knowledge this guys has I found this was a fascinating video and I thanks you for sharing. It is a shame that some people are so selfish that they took all of these plants and made so many extinct, what goes around comes around and I hope they get their just due desserts.
The entire video is very professionally done. But it would have been better if the plants were focused more instead on you too, while the audio could run in the BG. However thanks for bringing the collection to the fore!
So informative, with what I learn with your videos, every time I go to the mountain, to a nursery or to the beach I am always sharing the knowledge learned 😹 love your videos 💕 greetings from Costa Rica 🏳️🌈🌿🌱 we dont have botanic gardens as big as those in thailand, but still are Amazing, you should come one day and make a video!
Sorry if I missed it but what time of year is best to do this? I live in Arizona and just last week I neatened her up but just wondering if I’m best taking them all off. Cheers for the vid
The sykes plant in my garden used to leaving twice a year, but in the last two years it began to leave once, and this year the process of leaving the leaves was not completed. What is your advice, kindly
There is a interesting story about a Cycad that only one person have and he give a few pups away to friends. E.Relictus I think that is one of the 3 he doesn’t have. The person that have it is Mr. J.J.P Du Preez. Please do a story on that!
This video was an absolute stunner! There's something I don't quite understand though. We've got the ability to hybridize these living fossils. With this in mind we have the means to safeguard them for future generations, yet apparently it's frowned upon? Isn't evolution affected by hybridizing in nature as well? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wild animals would surely pollinate plants without regard for their species and at the end of the day we're all animals too; a part of nature. Btw, the palm greenhouse at Hortus Botanicus Amsterdam is my favorite place in the Netherlands
Well there is a greater discussion to be had here, and that is... should the intrinsic nature of a species -that is a distinct organism as defined by its characteristics and genome - be conserved and continue to exist as a member of a larger biodiverse world? Or should any and all plants be hybridized, crossed with similar species and selected for certain traits? From a genetic perspective, what makes a species a species is its ability to sexually pollinate one another. Doing even intergeneric cross pollination (across genera)-say a Gasteria and Aloe -often results in sterility, and cannot produce viable pollen. Therefore you can only propagate asexually and then you begin to lose the genetic diversity within that population. There are of course natural hybrids, but that is often happening from very similar species within the same genus...
Also (to add to what Summer has explained), there are actual several species of different genus of plants that have "specialized pollinators". This is the case of some orchid species, where a pollinator will only pollinate a particular specie and not any other, with some plants and/or pollinator morphologically evolving in order to achieve this. This "specialization" is sometimes the cause of the disappearance of certain species - if, for instance a plant specie is over collected to the brink of extinction, its "specialized" pollinator will likely follow the fate of the plant because is not able to adapt in a timely manner (and vice versa).
@@summerrayneoakes Ah! There certainly is lots of potential for discussion with this! To narrow things down a little, I should've mentioned that I meant getting plants that are viable for reproduction in the future. Like if we could get that Encephalartos Woodii out into the world again... It would be utterly amazing. Once they succeed, over the years evolution will run its course and new pollinators will appear. Nature will adapt. We just need to give these rare plants that extra push to get a real shot at life again. Though to be frank, new pollinators don't even need to evolve per-say. Us humans have evolved intelligence, and the ability to use tools to be able to pollinate these plants and help them reproduce. We're in a position where we can profoundly and consciously appreciate these marvellous creations of life. Humans have destroyed so many things throughout history, why should we as a species reject the notion that we can save these cycads and help secure their future? (My apologies if this comment isn't fully coherent. I'm struggling a little to find the right pacing and the right words, while still making sense!)
Had a big nice one living in my house back in Senegal when I was growing up and that one was shooting pups all the time ..... good old time, As kids we use to sell the pups to a gardener for like a 1$ or so . Now thinking of it, he was ripping us off
all season oil controls scale, btw waterings. how does one find commercial/private garden availabillity? cites treaty compliant? loren used to sell many four inch for me to plant in the bay area. does anyone continue his work? fascinating family, fascinating man- great book. the oddest one i liked was horribilis.
hello my name is bernard I have a magnificent cycas revoluta indoors and I would be curious to know the age of my plant by giving me information how to calculate it in relation to the stem I thank you in advance for an answer... MB
this made me realized that the cycads in Papua New Guinea are slowly growing into extinct. Especially in my village and other parts of the provinces and country. I will need help from you.
This video made me cry... He said, the Herbarium in Brasilia burnt down... That some species get extint because the greed of people... Add to this that we know now that almost 500 Millon animals are dying in Australia alone. Half of koalas burnt alive... I can't sleep thinking on this. Humans do not deserve this extraordinary beatiful planet.
Hang on, "Giant Squirrels? How you just roll past that without follow up? Also, can you imagine having to rearrange that whole collection every time a plant gets renamed? Ok that was the last one, but after he said everything was organized by name, I couldn't help it.
Amazing episode as usual, full of interesting facts and curiosities. But it is revolting that illegal trade and over collection is still so present in the 21st century. The domino effect that the extinction of a single species can have in so many other species and entire ecosystems is very alarming and saddening.
This video makes me want to dedicate my life to preserve plant species in its native habitat. I got so inspired by how he helped the locals in China to build school and in the end also helped the plant to bounce back. Thank your Summer so much for sharing!
That alone is an accomplishment if it inspires you to go out and do more of that work. Thank you for writing in.
Thank you for relying and your dedication!
"but that's what friends are for" hahahah that's so cute he named the Cycad after him though
I'm impressed with this guy and all of his knowledge. Thanks for sharing 😊😊
You’re so welcome
I was just going to say the same thing! He is like a plant Google. :) You are wonderful to share this with all of us Summer and Andres! Thank you!
