- Hello Friends!!!! Welcome or welcome back to my channel!!! In this video I'm sharing with you all my favorite plants or planty things for the month of February 2024.
Every month I choose 5 plants and/or planty things that have stood out the most to me during that month. Typically these are things that brought me the most joy during that time period. This time though...we're doing something a little different. It hasn't been any particular plant that has brought me the most joy but rather entire genuses of plants!!! We're going to look at 5 different genus of plants and I'll show examples from each genus.
I really hope you enjoy this video :)
Thanks for watching!!!!
Hi GENA ! To me all Hoyas looks like backyard blasted weeds. My all time favorites are Saintpaulias, have few singles : blue, purple, violet, amethyst, eggplant, white, pink. Biggest is 13" smallest 3" (mini) they have a neon intensity of color I have never seen anywhere ( well, maybe in paint section of art supply store) . They often give me butterflies when I look at them... All solid colors, no asymmetrical variegated plants in my collection, ( to me they look like with psoriasis or other human incited abuse). I like your videos, wish you could move more about your place.💛💙💜🤍
Hi! Depending on where you live they can grow like weeds!!!! The more humid the more weed-like LOL. Yay....happy to find another fellow lover of the Saintpaulias :).
Thank you!!! I appreciate that!!! I do film a lot in my office because it is quiet and doesn't bother the other family members...in other words...it's easiest. But I'll try to move into other rooms or at least show other rooms more often. Thanks for the suggestion.
Hi again, Gena. I just don't understand why u don't have more subs! Come on, ppl, do ur thing!! HIT THE SUBSCRIBE BUTTON!
❤❤❤
You are so sweet thank you!!!! I may not have thousands upon thousands, but all of you that are already here are amazing!!!! I couldn’t ask for better 🥰🥰🥰. Thank you Wendy 💕💕💕💕💕💕
I am going to vote for the Rhipsalis paradoxa! I have a young linearis that I truly adore…but, I have always wanted a paradoxa! When I find one locally I will for sure pick it up and bring it home with me!
Oh I hope you find one soon 😊
That’s a tough one! Good choices for comparison. I’ll pick the Linearis, only because I have one and love it. But the Rhipsalis is definitely on my wish list!
I agree! I knew they’d match up well 😊. Thanks for sharing your favorite!!!!
Rhipsalis gets my vote this week, although I do love the linnearis. Always enjoy your collection, as you don't just have the current fad plants, but also have the old standards as well. Proves you can master growing all of them, from cacti to begonias. Your channel is the best!❤❤❤
Thanks Deborah! I’ve always been more drawn to the classics rather than “rare” fad plants. Although I do appreciate all plants and would never turn down a rare one 😊. Thank you!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Hi there Gena! For me I'd pick the Linearis.
Great video!
Have an awesome day! ❤❤❤
Hi Wendy!!! Thank you so much!!!! You too 💕💕💕
Gorgeous Violet, I agree.
Thanks finnster!!!! 💚💚💚
The LINEARIS !! It’s so hard to get! Drooling over yous!! Love your channel and the wide variety of plants you feature, I love them all!
Hopefully linearis will become more widely available again. I’m not sure why it’s become so rare to find!!!! Thank you soooo much 🥰🥰🥰.
2 votes for the Hoya. Although we both like the paradoxa and think, maybe I should add 1 to my collection also.
Your choices for plants this past month are all wonderful. And yes, add begonias to your shop. Because I'm going to break my New Year's resolution for sure darn it. We're both in a hurry for the video on the grow tent. We are pretty sure it would be our happy place too.😊😊😊
Derek said I should just put a chair in there lol. I need a bigger tent for that 😂.
You would LOVE the paradoxa!!! I’m surprised you don’t already have one.
I’ve been slacking on my shop mostly because I don’t have any Hoya to add which is the main thing I want to have in there. I’ll see about adding some different plants 😊. Especially now that it’s truly almost spring!!! Only a couple weeks away 🥰.
As for your Feb faves! Gosh, the begonias are fabulous!! Also love African Violets but think it's too dry down here to try them! Also, love the succulents and cacti!
I think you could do AVs. They like to dry out before watering but you’d probably just have to water often. Thanks!!!! 💚💚💚
Oh they are similar! I’m going for the Ripsalis, I like the growth pattern ! I have neither. Thanks for showing the pings. 💚🌱
They definitely grow similarly. Thanks for sharing which is your favorite 💚💚💚.
Linearis! Although, I’ve gotten a few rhipsalis recently, they’re so interesting! But my linearis is one of my favorite plants in my collection!😍
Rhipsalis and Hoya both have that awesome factor. Hoya do get the amazing blooms though which is extra special. Rhipsalis bloom too but nothing like the Hoya blooms. Thanks for sharing your favorite!!!! 💚💚💚
Hey Gina the Pings are so super cute and love all the pink and purple you can get on them but haven’t tried myself yet. I have a absolutely beautiful Hoya Linearis and it’s one of my favourite plants so had to be that but it was close the rhipsalis paradoxa is just gorgeous
Pings are super easy. If you enjoy the looks of them I highly recommend trying one out. They are just so sweet (probably literally lol) and adorable.
Thanks for sharing your favorite!!! 💚💚💚
Hi Gena Hope your having a great Sunday! I found a begonia at Home Depot said was a Rex… I’m like nope turns out it’s a Kingiana it’s smooth and literally looks like a turtle 🐢, have you seen before? I love your pink begonia! I’ve yet to get an angel wing begonia, Rex I kill lol :) My moms best friend use to cross pollinate many many violets, at times she would have 100’s of different ones, they were beautiful! Have a great week :)
Hi!!! I am thank you 🥰. I hope you are as well.
Oh wow!!! That’s so awesome that you found the kingiana at Home Depot. I had no idea they sell them there. I do own one that I purchased online last year. I love how they look like turtles 💚.
One day I’d love to get to the point of creating my own hybrids. So cool!!! Have a great week too!!!! 💕💕💕
❤ ty it was way in back under a shelf of random new plants :) I’m trying to propagate by leaf :)
Ah my God love them both so hard to decide i have both in my collection but i think the rhipsalis got me ♥️
Awesome!!! I love seeing all the votes for the Rhipsalis!!!! 💚💚💚
Hi Gena! Both choices are beautiful but I chose the Hoya LINEARIS! I just started collecting Pings. I would love to see a grow tent video. 💚💚💚
Hi Lynne!!! Pings are so much fun. I love that they give us flowers 🌸. Grow tent tour coming up soon!!! 😊
Thanks for sharing your favorite 💚💚💚
I love the hoya linneriss ❤ my goal is to get mine to grow as beautiful as yours😊
Thank you 💚💚💚
Hi Gena. I vote for the Hoya linearis. Both of your pots of linearis are so full and beautiful. 😍
I don’t have any Ripsalis, have never seen any in real life. Maybe if I did I would appreciate them more. 🧐
Hi Karen! They feel like succulents basically. Very similar. The best thing about them for me is the amazing growth pattern. This paradoxa is so different with its twisty growth pattern. So cool. Thanks for sharing your favorite of the two 💚💚💚.
Hoya Lineraris! I just received cuttings today. I have them rooting in perlite in my prop box! ❤
That’s awesome!!! I’m sure they’ll root up fast for you!!! 💚💚💚
Hey Gena! I have to go with the Rhipsalis. They are relatively new to me and I only have a couple so far. As far as other plants go, I love begonias. The cane begonias that get big! I have a couple that will get 2 or 3 feet high during the summer and bloom like crazy. I cut them back hard in fall and propagate! I just picked up a couple of harmony begonias and I can't wait to see what they do this summer. They are messy, but I keep them on my screen porch.
Hi Sue! I agree they are messy. I have a couple of harmony begonias too. Looking forward to watching them grow!!!! Thanks for sharing your favorite 💚💚💚
Thank you Gena for the lovely video, as for my vote will be for Hoya Linearis which I’m still in search to have one, it’s one in my wish list 😍
I hope you find one soon!!!!
Thank you 💕💕💕
I love my linnearis but I vote for the rhipsalis, I hope some day to have that one. Thanks again for a great video. I would love buying succulents from you as you have so many beauties. I love mine .
Hi Paula!!! I hope one day to have succulents in the shop 🥰🥰🥰. Thanks for sharing your favorite 💚💚💚.
Hi Gena! Great pairing! It’s close but I prefer the Hoya linearis.
Hi Cheryl!!! Thank you!!!! 💚💚💚
Hi! Love the video and I pick the Hoya linearis. The paradoxa is beautiful though 💚
Hi!!!! Thanks for sharing your favorite!!! 💚💚💚
Hi Gena!!
I absolutely love your channel❤
I love Hoyas and I’ve had a linearis but would like the try the rhipsalis paradoxa some day so I’ll vote for the paradoxa!!
Keep up the good work and hello from Saskatchewan Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you sooooo much 🥰🥰🥰🥰😘
I'm voting for the Linearis.. they are so pretty when they are full and long
They are!!! 💚💚💚
Omg! That was a cruel and torturous comparison! Linearis V. Paradoxa! 😮 I love them both so much! You're a mean mean woman 😂 (kidding) PARADOXA WINS! 🎉 I just bought a ginormous Paradoxa in a local plant group. In going to message you a pic! 💚 love you Gena!
Lol sowy 😂😂😂. Your plant is fabulous!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Paradoxa! I've killed too many linearis to give it a vote now! Grr!
Oh no!!!! They can be more difficult because of their more delicate roots.
I love all your plants ! Of the two up for the vote I vote for the Hoya Linearis simply because I have been looking for it locally and can’t find it anywhere. I live in a small town in Northern Illinois. ❤
Thank you Diane! I think you will start to see linearis more readily available soon….at least I hope so. I can’t figure out why it is so rare these days!!! I just propagated my plant a few weeks ago so I’ll have some available again before too long. Thanks for sharing your favorite 💚💚💚.
Rhipsalis paradoxa is lovely especially in a fuller pot. I love the Hoya’s but I am on athe lookout for the paradoxa.
I agree 💚💚💚
Good Morning and Happy Sunday Gena! 🪴😁☕️
Good morning!!!! Happy Sunday to you too 💚💚☺️💕
I'm obsessed over all string of plants. I love them both but right now only own the Pardoxa so I'm choosing the Pardoxa. I will be getting another Hoya Linearis though.
Do you like all the string of plants? If so please do a video of all of yours. ❤😊
I think I only have the string of hearts: silver glory, Variegated, and regular. And I have a variegated string of pearls. I have found them all to be challenging. Mine always get bald at the top.
Thanks for sharing your favorite!!!! 💚💚💚
Hi Gena, hope you’re having a great Sunday. Ok Gena , you are not playing fair. Putting a rhipsalis and a Hoya 🤦🏻♀️ 😂 but I guess I will have to choose Rhipsalis Paradoxa. I can’t wait till you take us for a tour of your grow tent. Have a great week love ❤
Hi Sylvia!!!! I had to make it a true competition lol. I’m finding the results so far so fascinating!!! Thanks for sharing your favorite 💚💚💚.
You have a great week too!!!! Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
I love all your genres! Except anthurium. Other than strappy anthurium, I'm struggling getting into them. The other genre I LOVE is RHIPSALIS! 💚💚💚
I feel like our tastes in plants are so similar so I predict it’s just a matter of time for you lol.
Thank you!!!! 💚💚💚
My vote is for the Rhipsalis paradoxa. Putting a full pot of Hoya linearis against a sparse pot of the paradoxa is not fair! People who have never seen a full pot of paradoxa might choose the linearis!
A full pot of paradoxa probably would annihilate the linearis lol. They are very similar looking only the linearis is much more delicate looking I think. I knew they’d be a good matchup 💚💚💚.
I ❤your favorite videos bc I see new (to me) species. When will you sell h. Chinhungensis in your shop?
Voting for the rhipsalis even though I have and ❤ the linearis. Tough call.
Thank you!!!! I just propagated the Chinghungensis so it all depends on how fast they grow. They are rooted and throwing out new growth so I’m hoping it won’t take too long 🤞.
Thanks for sharing your favorite 🥰🥰🥰.
Ooo, neato I’ll check back. Thanks!
Hello Gena, of course vote for Rhipsalis 💚💚💚
Hi!!!! 💚💚💚
Such a pretty violet ❇️🌸❇️
Gosh that silver blush is so pretty! They only anthurium I have is the common flamingo type. Someday I will add more interesting ones. Have a good day! 💖✨
Thanks Tina!!! I hope you have a wonderful day 🥰.
@@ThePinkTrellis difficult to choose on the vote, but I think I lean towards linearis.
@@Tina-wi7we the Linearis has beautiful flowers compared to Rhipsalis flowers. I think that gives it a slight edge for me. But it is a super tough vote in my opinion 😊.
My vote is for the Rhipsalis Paradoxa. I have a few rhipsalis and the Paradoxa is definitely one of my top favorite 😍
It’s sooo unique looking. So twisty 😊. Thanks for sharing your favorite!!!! 💚💚💕💕
I am completely taken down with my Rhipsalis Paradoxa, so got to go with it. Next time you have a Hoya Linearis in you shop let me know!!
I will 😊
Hello from Ireland!! Those begonias 😮especially sinbad I am looking for to buy but I cannot get anywhere😢
Hello!!! I have so much sinbad too bad you aren’t here!!! I hope you are able to find one soon 😊.
@@ThePinkTrellis fingers crossed! Thank you !
Rhipsalis…which is wild because I am a major Hoya lover!
Awesome!!!!! I knew it would be a great contender!!!! Thanks 💚💚💚
Rhipsalis gets my vote! :)
💚💚💚
OOPSIE I forgot to vote. WOW That really is a hard choice for me to choose between the two plants. I have both and really LOVE both of them.
Hehe…I knew it would be a tough choice for a few people lol.
@@ThePinkTrellis Yes it sure is.
Linearis ❤
💚💚💚
Oh that's a tough choice but I vote Linearis!😊
💚💚💚
This is a hard one! My vote is the Rhipsalis Paradoxa, it was a hard choice though!
Hi Michelle!!! Thanks for sharing your favorite!!!💚💚💚
Hoya Linearis gets my vote.
Thanks for sharing!!! 💚💚💚
I vote You not hoya LOL but i choose Rhipsalis 💚💚💚 How are you big sister? miss you 😘
Lol 🥰. Hey Rev!!! You’ve been missed!!!! I’m doing good how about you???
A tough vote this time but I am going for the Ripsalis because my Linearis has been a pain in the butt with the mealies 🤔
Oh gosh! I imagine it would be difficult to deal with mealies on such a delicate plant. Sorry to hear that!!!!
Thanks for sharing your favorite 💚💚💚.
Hoi lieve Gena ❤
Prachtig he je planten collectie ❤
Hele moeilijke vraag, ik vind allebei erg mooi. Rhipsalis Paradoxa heb ik nu 2 weken en ben helemaal verliefd op❤ hoe verzorg je Rhipsalis paradoxa.?
Lieve groetjes en dikke knuffels uit de Nederland❤❤💝😘
Hi AM!!! I’m so happy you have a paradoxa in your collection. Mine has been very easy care. I used a Rhipsalis soil recipe that I found online. I basically used a cacti/succulent soil and added extra perlite and bark chips. I think it also helps to grow them in terracotta pots. And I water once a week even through the winter. The chunky soil and terracotta allows them to dry out fast. I also rarely fertilize them since I read they don’t need it like other plants. And that’s all I do. They are so easy care. Thank you 🥰🥰🥰.
Want both alike!
😊😊😊 I know it’s a tough choice!!!!
False spring here has gone back to winter and snow and cold mode. I do not even go to plant shops to look for plants I have to buy online. And I really should not get too many more plants after my last walmart haul.
Your pings are darling but I did not do well with them. Suzette has lots of them. I think I accidently dripped a little fertalizer water from plant above into the ping plant I had and it suddenly curled up and died.
I have one big anthurium I am sending off to my friend with a green house. It is too big. It is not a velvet leaf. I think it is called Water Dragon.
I have to be careful of that too. Dripping water from above in the grow tent because it’s wire shelving!!!
Our weather doesn’t know what to do either. 70 degrees one day and snow the next lol. Only a couple of weeks away from the official spring though. Can’t wait!!!!!
@@ThePinkTrellis Yes I think I am ready for it too. I want to get out and work in the yard.
Do you check your plants everyday? I have just started growing Hoyas at the beginning of February. I find myself looking over my Hoyas every day. Looking for any type of change to the plants.
Hi! I don’t check on all of them everyday but definitely check in on a few every day. It’s fun to look for changes 😊.
How did you get your begonia to bloom? What soil or fertilizer do you use on them? I have the begonia lucerna but have never had her bloom for me.
The Begonia sinbad blooms ALL the time lol. I don’t do anything special, it’s just a prolific bloomer. The soil I use is the same for most of my plants. Fox Farm ocean forest soil mixed with orchid bark, charcoal and pumice. It’s a nice well draining mix for them. The fertilizer is also Fox Farm, Grow Big.
@ThePinkTrellis Thank you ! 😊 I use the same mix for my plants. I have not tried the fertilizer but maybe I should.
Have you considered taking cuttings from your rhipsalis to fill in the pot? It looks so empty.
I do plan to chop it eventually. To be honest, I kind of like how it looks lol. I have it right on the very edge of a shelf and it hangs down with a white background/wall and just looks so neat to me. A minimalist look. That’s why I’m not in a big rush to cut it up 😊.
I’m that person that will always vote Hoya 😂 My collection is now 90% Hoya. One may say I’ve fell down that rabbit hole 😅🪴 but the rhipsalis is a beautiful plant as well.
💚💚💚
Sounds like you have a lot of Hoya 🥰
@@ThePinkTrellis 167 to be exact 👀😂
@@OHear_Plants 🎉🎉🎉
It’s the libraries for me
I love the library!!! Heehee…I’m assuming you intended to say Linearis but your phone had a mind if it’s own 😂😂😂😂
@@ThePinkTrellis I just had a good chuckle & yes, linearis 😁
I don't have either plant in my collection so I am not familiar with either one. If we are talking about how they look I have to go with the hoya linearis.
I know you like the succulents and cacti so I know you would enjoy a paradoxa in your collection. The thing I like best about the linearis is the amazing blooms. Nice choice 💚💚💚.
@@ThePinkTrellis oh I love all plants 🪴 💚 I have a big variety of plants in my collection. Most are plants you can find in big box stores . Some I have ordered online as well.
This is hard. I choose the Rhipsalis. My Hoya L. had 3 blooms then died. No hoya's for now.
Oh no!!!! Sorry to hear that 😢. Thanks for sharing your favorite 💚💚💚.
Rhipsalis ❤😊
💚💚💚 thanks for sharing your favorite!!!!
I think I prefer the Hoya linearis.
