Momma B is a bad house plant momma. I have a building that would be so perfect for growing so many of these types of plants. I'm just to lazy to do it, and dont really have time, or maybe dont want to take the time. Just being honest. My only house plants, are a few spider plants, and a few aloe plants. They are huge. Babies with babies, etc on the spiders. They are in my hot tub room. Ive never watered them. Ever. They get water from the air and steam from the hot tub. Only light is sun from the east, through the sliding glass doors, that go out to the pool. And, 1 Ivy, above my stove. ( on top of a large box light, above the stove, it's a wide open space to the second floor ceiling, the Ivy is to the ceiling) I dont water that either. Just steam from the kitchen. Ive never fed any of them. They are beautiful though. I forget about them until somebody tells me how beautiful they are. Nope, I'm not a house plant person. Bad house plant momma for sure.

I have a captive plant in a largw dome one third full with soil with two vines. With light from an LED Daylight bulb, they make their own atmosphere, and need about 1 1/2 cups of water and a normal 10-10-10 Miracle Grow ferterlizer in the recommwnded dose as in the directions on the box once every three months or less! Usually it's too much water so I open a vent in the top a week or so intil it dries out and stops making algae on the dome!

What a lovely interview, I want a specimen of each of these plants, they are gorgeous! Two years ago I moved to a newly-built house with better insulation, a more stable air environment (no nasty drafts) and my living space has generally good natural lighting. My houseplants, some of which have survived 4 moves, have literally taken off. The only thing I have to learn to do is give them water regularly and feed them.

I have like 50 houseplants, but not even close to the amount at this place. I plan on selling a bunch of mine to make room for some more rare and exotic varieties. Basically, I have had my training so time for the real deal. I will keep my favorites and my pothos cutting source plant though
Edit: If anyone has suggestions of some rare varieties I should get please reply.

I love seeing all those huge tropicals. I am confused by the philodendron Brazil 14: 70, I have never seen leaves like that on a philodendron, it looks more like it is in prayer plant family. I am confused also cause I am sure the head gardeners know their correct plant ID's before making labels and signs.

AMAZING. I used to live in San Diego in the 70 s and 80 s. There was a tiny shop on the way to El Cajon that specialized in African Violets. I started collecting and growing all types, colors and sizes of them. I was enamored with the miniature African Violets. I don t see them much anymore.

my prediction for the next houseplant fad would be. exotic food producing plants maybe it'll be the dragon fruit I know i was inspired to grow them after watching you and Grafting Dragon Fruit and they're harder to kill by over watering and they are very cute as seedlings

So many beautiful exotics. So much information. Need more like this. It was a super special treat. Thanks for getting John to share with us. I gave up on houseplants because I kept getting mosquitos and who knows what other bugs. Maybe I'll try again.

Amazing plants, great guest
you can really see how passionate you both are about plants!
I honestly never got the variegated versions, they look sick to me. so I'm definitely either way behind the curve or way in front of it

Oh I actually like that we can see Amorphopallus titanum on their leaf phase. It s a rare sight, usually when people are making a video about them, it s always the flower phase. (Understandable though)

So interesting! Thank you for taking us on this journey. I liked how they had healthy and unhealthy plants so people can see the difference.
I wish we had a place like this near us. So cool!

Excuse my spelling but the plant labeled as philodendron Brazil was actually ctnanthe luberosa? It's in the prayer plant family and not a philodendron or an airoid at all?

Love that you re getting into tropicals more now too! For me, outdoor gardening led to a passion for growing tropicals indoors as well. Would love to see more content like this!
