Just finished taking my Plant Identification and Classification final for Bio 430 at my college. Great job explaining in your video! With scientific names, you've just gotta go for it - 90% of people will assume you're right, and the other 10% should realize that Latin is a dead language and we shouldn't expect everyone to be fluent in it.

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Well put! Hope you aced your test 💚

Ah nerdy plant info for one of my favourite plants (even though mine was perished during the previous unusual snow frenzy, but I'm on the lookout for another one). As for the etymologies, I can help, since most of it is Greek (to you), hopefully you'll find them interesting: Philo(s) (φίλος) = friend Dendron (δένδρο/δέντρο) = tree Thauma (thAv-ma / θαύμα) = miracle Phyllo (fEE-loh / φύλλο) = leaf Pteromischum is easy to pronounce: Pte-ROH-miss-coom Ptero (πτερό/φτερό) = wing or feather Mischos (μίσχος) = petiole Meconium (Latin from the ancient Greek word, not used today: μηκώνιον) = poppy juice, opium Stigma (στίγμα) = mark, blemish Poly- (πολύ or πολλοί) = many, multiple Mono- (μονάδα, μόνο) = single, one Phylo (with just one "l" is from φύλο/φυλή) = gender/race Selloum is most likely Latin, but I couldn't find what it means, or if it honours a botanist. Bipinnatifidum is also Latin "bi" (=two) "pinnatus/a/um" (= feathered) and "fidus/a/um" (= trusty, loyal, certain). Have a wonderful weekend!! 😊

Great info! I’ve also seen selloanum listed as a synonym for selloum. I think it was selloanum before it became referred to as selloum.

Your a fantastic teacher !! Love the boots. Your right about not needing repotting that offen. My grandmother gave me (I'm pretty sure) this exact plant over 10 years ago. It's living in my backyard, in a ok sized pot, and to this date has never been repotted. It's showing no adverse effects. Thanks again for another informative, well educated video. 👍💜🇦🇺

[@Aquamarine.Aubrey]

I LOVE this video sooooooo much! So educational! I really appreciate all your hard work on it! 💚

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Thank you so much!💚

My one is 45 yrs old. Given to me as a tiny dying sprig by my nana. He doesn't like being wintered indoors. He dies back to maybe 3-4 leaves. But thrives in my humid NC summers outdoors especially with lots of rain. His trunk has been chopped twice in his life, from getting too long and crawly. As long as there are many aerial roots, it's dramatic but ok. They allegedly don't hate being root bound and mine seems to confirm that. I don't repot often maybe every 8 years mostly for fresh soil. They don't like when pine straw gets in the pot. It's very acidic.

Thank you for your time and effort Drea. Not too sure where you find the actual time it must take to research it all with your job, work outs, and running a home with all the plants and of course your beautiful cat (sorry his name escapes me, I can’t remember my own name sometimes lol). ❤

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Toby! Or Tobster, or Little Lion Man, he’s got a lot of nicknames, lol.💚

[@sunnymoondog]

Thank you!!!! I've been so confused about this.

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Happy to help!💚

I have what was a defined as Calathea lancifolia, which has been thriving for 18 months in my bathroom. Changing its genus may explain why other Calathea I've tried just turned brown & shriveled. I have a Thaumtophyllum bipinnatifidum “Shangri-La," which alternates between new green growth, followed by yellowing leaves. It seems to like bright light, but I'm not sure what it wants.

[@mydogmyplantsandme]

You just answered sooooooo many of my questions that I just came up with this past week since I got my goeldlii!!! THANK YOU!

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Happy to help!

[@susanjohnson5824]

Very nice job explaining of the name changes - I have both the thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum and the spruceanum they are some of my favorite plants really easy to care for - trouble free.

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Thank you!💚

[@desireebarfoot9717]

Thankyou for the clarification, I actually have both of those plants, the one you featured and the Goldeii, so good to know that they are not considered Philodendron anymore. So thankyou for your input on that.

[@AlohaPlantLife]

You’re welcome!

[@sreedevivn3010]

Thank you for sharing the story of Thomatophyllum sprucianum.

[@AlohaPlantLife]

You’re welcome!

[@sunnymoondog]

I love your lessons!!❤

[@montanaplants]

Very interesting, thank you! I love learning about the science of plants. Why couldn't I have realized I love plants so much when I was, you know, IN COLLEGE?? :D Subscribed!

[@AlohaPlantLife]

I frequently have the same exact thought 💚
