    Good to see these plants are grown outside than planted in a small containers. We can see that they grow healthy bigger in a wider space.

    These plants actually exist in nature?? Your garden is so fascinating, thank you for the tour. I live in southern Florida, it is an adventure growing beautiful plants and also a challenge.

    I think the fern you look at at the 8:00 mark is an Asparagus Densiflorus. I have them growing wild in my Western Cape garden in South Africa. Thanks for the video, very enjoyable.

    Another wonderful video and such a fun tour. His foliage is in such great condition. It's like a personal botanical garden. Thank you for the video and for making me laugh so much.

    Admirable guy! He knows the scientific names of his plants, and has a lot of collection. I learned a lot from him and tips as well on how to grow and care of plants.

    I am a bit traumatized from mixing pumice into my potting mix because it retains good amount of water. I rotted several plants.

    Now I'm gonna give it another chance with this soilless mix.

    Alocasia is one of the most popular indoor plants and it has a huge variety that plant parents can really explore. Some of my personal favorites shown on the video are heterophylla, scalprum and the stunning silver dragon.

    Asparagus retrofractus or “Ming Fern” is the plant @ 07:45 … so it is technically an asparagus-fern! Haha. 💁🏼‍♂️😇Or just an asparagus, depending on who you’re asking. You know how you can tell? When the new shoots and blooms are forming, they look exactly like asparagus the veggie.

    Did you know that agave are distantly related, as well? What does an agave flower look like, before it open? When I realized this I was shocked. An asparagus! But a massive one…I also love it’s texture, but all of those asparagus-ferns have SHARP spikes and thorns on the petioles. Most of them anyway. It’s a great shrub for pruning into a bonsai, or planting near ponds and water features. If left for years, the root ball will look almost like a ‘caudex’, but less like a potato or a rock; more of a pile of orchid roots! Kinda like spider plant roots in a way. But a mass of these. Then it’s becoming a task to dig up. Which reminds me. We have one that is over 30 years old…wish me luck haha. – Erik

    I have a question , if someone could answer it for me , that would be so helpful & awesome !! I watch a lot of these tour videos & one thing I've noticed is that MANY of the people are growing a good portion of their plants in pots .. (Not that I don't have a lot of potted plants myself) – I was wondering if it was for a specific reason ? I'm seeing many plants that are ON the ground , & 'appear' to be in the dirt , until I look closer & see that they are potted .. Some of the potted plants are large , & I think to myself "why did they not just stick it in the ground ?" Wouldn't it grow potentially bigger & healthier ? I understand that some plants may be moved around , or prefer a certain kind of dirt or whatever … But is that basically the main & only reason they are leaving them in pots ? I'm just curious if this is a preference thing , or if there is a reason an abundance of people are leaving their plants in the pot vs the ground ? And yes , I obviously understand why it would be in a pot if it's on the patio , or hanging up , or put somewhere that's not directly on ground .. I'm just confused about the potted plants ON the ground … I may have made this question more confusing than it needed to be LOL ! But can anyone help clear this up for me ? Thanks ! 🖤💜💙
