My indoor cyclamen (NE Texas, USA) has been blooming since I bought it in February. It even bloomed through our hot Texas summer. I have watered it and deadheaded the seedpods. It's not showing any signs of going dormant. Will it continue to bloom through the colder months October through April?

I do love begonias, and you have some lovely ones. I was pleased to see you have a new Marmaduke I grew them years ago. Always had good luck but they grow absolutely huge leaves! I had to trade them off because of lack of space. Good luck with yours. You will love them.

How is your Nepenthes collection doing these days?

Hi what did you make the curtain out of, bubble wrap and fleece?

My little blooms are very much like this, but they appear on the stem of the plant. Which type could it be?

Chinese name for this plant: 仙客来

Another awesome video!👏🏽👏🏽

Excellent video that answered all of my questions about my Pitcher plant. Thank you very much!

For the water method, I usually put the cutting in a glass on the kitchen window sill. It usually only takes a couple of weeks to propagate. When there's noticeable roots I pot the cuttings up. Usually a few cuttings to a pot. I tend to do that for cane Bergonias. I have generations of Bergonias that way. My Mum and Grandmother used to do the same. I still have some that they potted up.

Perfect video till the nails down the chalkboard when you pointed to the roots.

did you find out if it kills the eggs?

I fertilize my Nepenthes quite often. Once in the month I dillute tropical house plants liquid fertilizer for the roots (around 120µS) and on the leaves every week (around 150µS, altough you could double it and do it every second week, i like to do it weekly but more dilluted so that i can react faster if its too much). And every once in a while I also feed the pitchers (the same fertilizer but around 200µS. The pitchers itself can have 800 or even above 1000µS if they caught a lot of insects, so more than 200 could be possible). I have doing this a while now and will start doing this throughout the whole autumn and winter (the plants now grow inside under strong growlights, high humidity and temperatures). And so far the plants are growing extremely well. Combined with the good LED and high temperature and humidity, they produce a new leaf every few weeks.

bug clear kills worms and the helpfull insects...i never use it all,,, its deadly to all insects

Wow this is amazing! Thanks so much for a new Trad video! 💜

I never ever seen like this unique collection thanks for sharing the video ❤ love from India

Any blooms yet? :-)

I have two large Nobile orchids . For the temperature drop, is it a good idea to keep them in heated garage by SE window? I keep temperature + 6 C over the winter . And how many hrs of lighting do they need during winter time? Thank you

I bought one of these from one of the major UK supermarkets (It will remain nameless) last week. This particular supermarket has been doing carnivorous plants for the first time that I know of. The Drosera that they had is on it's last legs and they had reduced it in price. I will see how I get on.

It`s good listening to a English accent but greetings from the Philippines, I collect water from the roof in a drum actually at the moment its the rainy season so my Nepenthese are happy outside not in direct sunlight Humidity here is around 85% everyday so no problem there. I believe I`m right in saying the Philippines is home to largest number of Nepenthese including N.attenboughrii but I have to grow Lowland spp its too hot for the Highlanders where I live

Geht die Blume jetzt in der winterpause braucht man die nicht gießen bitte in Deutsch Antworten

I really am interested in the video, but the loud music is so distracting that I can't watch the whole thing 😢

Fantastic video! Thank you!

Yesterday I bought a Miltonia at a local grocery store. It was marked as a Miltoniopsis. Thanks for setting me straight! I am going to grow her in my home, as my area (Eastern Washington State. Zone 6) has very hot, dry summers (75f/24c to 104f/40c) and cold, snowy winters. She seemed quite dry, so I did water with a weak orchid fertilizer solution. I put her about 10 feet from a west facing window with filtered light. I am going to wait about a week to re-pot, as she is now in a tall pot with drainage holes on the bottom only of the inner pot. I hope I can keep her alive in my house. Wish me luck!

Mine is on my kitchen window sill which is is south facing I have never moved it to cooler place and it flowers every year. I’ve had it about three years

You have many colours achimenes

Hi Geoff. Thanks for introducing an interesting plant, i'll need to see if it's available in my area. Just wonder if they can tolerate a bright north facing (southern hemisphere) sunny position.

Stick it in bright morning sun in autumn and ignore it!

Hi, Geoff! Thank you for this very nice and informative video. Those blooms are lovely! I will have a look to see if those are available over here. They should, as I am in South America! 😊

I work at a botanical garden and we have a huge collection. They are very controversial for us gardeners. Very beautiful flowers but you have have to clean them every day 😂

Hi Geoff! Your autumn ember is looking great too! Look forward to more videos too!

How do I remove them !!

my mandavellas are dyingat growth stage. Braches ok. Solution pl.

Okay I thought my begonia was a lost cause after being ravaged by powdery mildew during winter from another plant but this has inspired me to keep at it. It's about to get nice and warm in Australia so fingers crossed. Thanks!

I'm in Denver colo. My Gyrpon is on the Northside of my house, then I move it in my north facing window in the fall before our first frost, so far so goo

Just throwing ideas out here but have you thought about getting a plumber in to extend your house central heating by adding a radiator in your greenhouse that’s part of your home central heating? You could install a thermometer in the greenhouse instead of your house to maintain a 18 degree temp. Obviously it would take some effort and money but if it could be done it might be a good long term solution. No idea if it’s possible but just an idea that popped into my head. 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Another idea would be to heat it up with a caravan gas heater which you could pick up from a caravan breakers yard, they chuck out the heat. You would need to use bottled gas, but it would be cheaper to use that than electric heaters. The modern caravans use ducting to blow warm air around the caravan and are very efficient and cost-effective. You could get all the hardware from a caravan breakers for little money.

Have you seen those little diesel heaters they use in camper vans? They are inexpensive to buy and to run (red diesel), you would need to figure out a way of getting the exhaust through to the outside, but you could replace a pane of glass with some wood and put a hole in it to pop the exhaust through to the outside. Since they are designed for camper vans they are clean burning with no dangerous fumes to worry about.

I have seen another UK video and the guy was using composting heap contained in a wooden box to generate het in his hot house

Why don’t you want to use Peat?? Many sites suggest mixing it into soil… especially with succulents.

Hi really love all your videos. After watching your Streptocarpus plant videos, I’m totally in love with it! Just checking do you have any for sale? Many thanks 😊

You're getting a high moisture reading because these plants store water in the roots large nodules. That's why they are drought tolerant.

it will grow by just sticking it in the dirt. they Love being outside and water. I had one that was only a few stems before the summer. I put it outside and watered it good, Now I have two thick thriving plants..

I'm testing a new transplant with straight up clay balls. In Vietnam they plant straight up with charcoal but they have 80% humidity.

Jesus get to the fuckin point. this video should've been 2 minutes long but you just want to ramble. sheesh.

Where can I buy those grow bags?

This was so helpful and I loved the updates.

I appreciated the advice on Zygopetalum culture in the North of England,as I am in the Manchester area myself. I couldn't believe my luck when I found a Zyopetalum in Tesco. So I'm not sure of its variety. I'm reliant on window culture as I don't have a greenhouse. Winter temperatures are between 55 f and 65 f minimum.I have various orchid types. Phalaenopsis flower in these winter temps. So it must be warm enough for them. I haven't completed a full winter with the Zygopetalum.So next winter will be a challenge.
