    I like the sharp narrow form of the anthurium Luxurians.

    Try wrapping a warm cloth around the unfurling leaf. Right before it unfurls. I’ve seen that work for three people.

    The filming turned outright. I didn’t notice any loss of sound and the visual was good.

    Press the leaf you can frame it. And put it in your plant room for a decoration.

    I needed this video right now because I just received 2 shipments from Tropicals Plants. Their live auctions are every Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 9am eastern standard time Tuesday and Thursday nights 7pm eastern standard time and Saturday mornings at 9am eastern standard time

    I really enjoy importing plants. The process is quite satisfying. I think the best suggestion for someone wanting to import for the first time is to only bring in 1 or 2 plants to keep it manageable.
    You shared some great info and I'm looking forward to see updates on your plants 😊

    • @planthappens
      @planthappens  Рік тому

      That's true, it's important to only import what you can handle. Having just 1 or 2 would be helpful to learn the process 🌿

    • @planthappens

      Importing can be a lot of work but also very rewarding! I think it's worth at least experiencing it once. Maybe you won't like it but at least you will understand the work that goes into it!

    Great video Jing. Sorry you felt so frustrated. I've never imported. I have a really good local Facebook group and probably never will. 💚

    • @planthappens
      @planthappens  Рік тому

      I was quite tired after the filming because I had a lot of technical difficulties 😭 I hope it wasn't too hard to watch! Importing is a lot of work so I definitely suggest buying from local store/collector if they're available.

    Luv luv luv your video. I was paying particular attention to your work with the roots. I struggle when it comes to knowing what to cut…what to keep…etc.
    I ordered from Ecuagenera earlier this year…my first imports ever.
    A few weeks back…I ordered from tropicals…and those should come soon. I’m trying to get ready.
    The Queen that you potted in glass jar with no holes…it’s doing okay?

    • @planthappens
      @planthappens  Рік тому

      Thank you! I just uploaded a new video with the updates. The queen is... alive, but not in the best condition atm. It will grow fine in the future I'm sure though. Hope you receive beautiful new plants!

    Thanks for the information on tree fern/perlite. I bought in my first import about a week ago. I had them in water for about 5 days then moved most of them to PON. I hope it works!
    Do you ship plants to the US? I adore your Hoya Joy Splash. I can’t seem to find one with such nice variegation locally.

    • @planthappens
      @planthappens  Рік тому

      My friends have amazing results with acclimating plants in pon! Hoe it goes well for you too. Unfortunately I don't ship to US because it takes a lot of time to get Phytosanitary and I work full time...

  • @PetraEmmy
    @PetraEmmy Рік тому

    Thanks for some great information.. I am most likely never doing any imports.. Makes me nervous..I just buy from local nurseries. I tried ordering some poles and a hoya from your province but shipping was 3x more then cost of product and its not only because its across Canada. Shipping in my province can be pricey too.

    • @planthappens
      @planthappens  Рік тому

      Thank you for your comment! Imports can be a lot of work and especially now a lot of plants are very affordable so not worth the risk sometimes. But it is still rewarding to see the new growth on the imports! Shipping in Canada is so expensive... especially if you live somewhere remote 🥺

    Why do you call the large perlite “songs rock”? I’ve not heard that name before.

    • @planthappens

    I'm a little concerned Gilberto and Co have sent you the wrong plant. Your wendi looks a lot more like a coriaceum/sp morona rather than a wendlingeri

    • @planthappens
      @planthappens  Рік тому

      I'm not so sure about the ID but it was sold as cf. wendlingeri. It was live sale so I did pick the exact plant. Hopefully the ID will be updated!
