5 Interesting Aroid Facts That Will Surprise You!

[@aimer3042]

When Sean spent 30 seconds on his disclaimer in his video, you know that he is a law abiding citizen and doesnt want to get in trouble. 🤣🤣

[@onlyplants]

Haha Im that guy who goes in a cinema and memorizes all the emergency exits.

[@Gorgeouscorliss]

It was impressive wasn’t it?

[@ilikeframboise]

I love this format and getting to know these plants on a deeper and data-driven level! I think having these types of videos in between plant tours is helpful to keep the content fresh. Another great video!

[@onlyplants]

Sweet, thank you!

[@Maria-yg3kj]

Agreed! Reeallly love the data-driven side of the houseplant hobby

[@oz802]

There is nothing better than plant enthusiasts spreading random plant info. Im loving this format!

[@onlyplants]

Haha thank youu

[@brocktoon8]

My favourite formats that you do are as follows (but not in any hierarchical order): 1) You at home just rambling, talking to yourself/us and arranging/repotting/general plant care/ etc. 2) You touring nurseries/shops/shows/botanical gardens/etc. 3) Your plant travel videos (Bali was awesome!, etc.). Personally I really like when you are outdoors somewhere and showing us stuff, but I also love your at home vids. I watched your plant styling videos when you first moved into your new house like several times. As long as you are showing us plants and/or doing things with plants, and chatting about it I am happy. : )

[@onlyplants]

Whoaa thank you this is very helpful

[@justinramos8312]

I like the format, Sean. My favorite videos by far are your experimental propagation videos that include the updates. Your videos are always enjoyable and informative. And funny!

[@onlyplants]

Those videos are coming! Waiting on some growth updates first

[@loveolive8561]

[@sandrams7939]

I always love to watch your videos, very informative and i start to recognise plants by their names. Thank you and keep up the good job.

[@onlyplants]

[@annsfrench]

I enjoyed this video very much. I would like to see more like this.

[@onlyplants]

More to come!

[@NaturallyNatural81]

I like this format, it's giving professor vibes.

[@veroniquepalin9351]

Interesting video! I like the more educational content of it. Thx.

[@onlyplants]

Thank youu

[@ALYCIANEAL]

Love this type of video! Thank you 😁

[@onlyplants]

Thank youu ❤️

[@mazdak_]

I would also love soft spoken aroid tour videos .... I know it's specific but sometimes that is exactly what I want to relax or fall asleep

[@onlyplants]

Interesting… I will consider it 😀

[@giardinodialberi8751]

This format is excellent. It's good that you painted the big picture in broad strokes, so we can now place interesting plants into this helpful hierarchy. I guess it also helps us assimilate cultural information into Genera, rather than be overwhelmed with tons of unrelated cultural tips for species upon species.

[@onlyplants]

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@arceusanother4482]

format macam ni is educational and fun.. short and sweet...please continue this category. I ada sikit of all dari #2 sampai #10 except #1.. LOL I should look for one now 😂😂😂 keep it up dik.. 👏🏻💯❤️🇲🇾

[@onlyplants]

Haha thank youu. #1 is actually really fun and rewarding… both the heart shaped anthuriums but also the flowering ones

[@marysilver4937]

I enjoyed this video very much, quite nice.

[@onlyplants]

Thank uou 😀😀

[@causetteladouceur6363]

Very informative!

[@onlyplants]

❤️😀

[@silverflame2501]

This format it good..... but once a month only... I love it when you explore other gardens🤩🤩🤩

[@onlyplants]

Thank youuu that makes sense

[@ninapit]

Wow! I love this format. Thanks for all the trouble you must have gone through. Visually very informative and images perfectly timed. More, please!

[@onlyplants]

Thank youu 🥰🥰

[@lanisejohnson7083]

Loved this. Thanks

[@onlyplants]

Thank you 🥰

[@samanthajay4981]

How fun to learn some new things about the plants sitting all over my home 🥰🌱

[@onlyplants]

Yes I learnt a lot in the process too

[@onlyplants]

Yes I learnt a lot in the process too

[@utakcaline444]

très intéressant, merci Sean

[@onlyplants]

🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@ptownneal]

LOVE this informative video! Keep the 'surprising' facts coming! 😀🌴

[@onlyplants]

🥰🥰

[@MyLocsMyPlants]

loved this !

[@onlyplants]

❤️❤️

[@isleeptillnoon5256]

This is really cool. I love random plants facts. I'm taking a guess...if Australia is considered new world, then at least one of the epipremnum is one that's both new world and old.

[@onlyplants]

Omg yes! Im guessing the others might be something obscure… since theres many aroid genera out there

[@anndriggers6660]

Sean! Thanks so much! You always educate me with every video you make. I just adore you!

[@onlyplants]

Thank youu ❤️❤️

[@enrico4400]

I love thie format and i'd likes to hear more about nomenclature, different family/species/genus plants classifications, like a specific video on monstera/philodendron/anthurium etc family, what are the species, scientific name, what in common, how do they differ

[@onlyplants]

Thank you. Let me look into it

[@ProximaCentauri88]

Thank you Sean for making another interesting video! You're the reason why I bought an Anthurium vittarifolium and Scindapsus treubii Sumatera. My current holy grail aroids are: Anthurium wendlingeri and Scindapsus Black Mamba

[@onlyplants]

Thank you. Im trying to get a wendingeri too

[@kellytahmasebi9289]

i was wishing u put taro in here and u didnt dissapoint haha :p love taromilk

[@onlyplants]

😀😀

[@janecurtis5726]

That was fun! I think where I live the Epipremnum would rate #1. They are easy for people who want plants but are really not plant people. They use them more decoratively than for the love of a genus and place them in low light spots in their homes. You sound much better today!!!

[@onlyplants]

Now you got me rethinking!

[@guywithaplant]

Really informative! Thanks 😊 👏 👏 👏

[@onlyplants]

[@abdikaryasumedang]

I am a big fan of anthuriums!

[@onlyplants]

🥰🥰

[@adilyamarie]

Love this ❤

[@onlyplants]

❤️❤️

[@wishingonthemoon1]

I always get so surprised by what are aroids. I’ve always been afraid of anthurium-I killed a flamingo flower once and have since been scared to try again haha. But now that I know they’re aroids, I’m not as scared. Agleonemas are aroids?! You don’t say. I’ve always preferred Raphidophora to monstera. I LOVE taro. It’s soooooo yummy. The ones from Hawaii are my favorite. I just love it it plain, boiled and baked. But I love me some poi, boba tea, and pastries. This was a fantastic video, love this format! I could listen to you talk all day

[@onlyplants]

Yayeee thank you

[@kerrybeckett2574]

Love this format Sean, bring on some more like this :)

[@onlyplants]

Thank you. I’ll try my best

[@MiguelMendoza-lv6bl]

Love this format...so educational and informative. I didn't know aglaonemas were aroids!

[@onlyplants]

Haha yes. Aroids are actually really fascinating and diverse

[@PrB0201]

As long as the plants put outs inflorescence then they are classified in the aroid family.

[@chrisis9030]

Nice!

[@onlyplants]

🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@jovanessavf164]

Nice!!! ❤

[@onlyplants]

[@jemange5003]

A genus of arums called Lysichiton has two species L. camtschatcensis (Japan/ Old world) and L. Americanus (North America/ New world).

[@onlyplants]

Oh wow this is cool!!! Thanks for sharing

[@cherrelle3231]

Loved this! Question: do you know why a anthurium Wendlingeri is so expensive? They don’t seem to be highly popular so I can’t figure out the price tag. Ps thanks for the bonus.

[@onlyplants]

It might be slow growing I guess… or maybe less people have them… the vittarifolium is like 10x cheaper here 😅

[@glennmiller3842]

Some genera that are found in both the Old and New Worlds would include Pisita, Lemna, Spirodela, Wolffia, and Wolffiella ...

[@onlyplants]

Woww this is cool. Thank you!

[@onlyplants]

Oooh yes of course most of them are aquatics ❤️

Wait are Monsteras not Philodendron?

They are different genera, therefore cannot be cross bred with each other. Think of it like humans and chimps 😀

I absolutely love this format. I feel like I'm learning a huge amount in 10 minutes and I actually have to rewatch it several times because the contents are so intense !

[@onlyplants]

Haha thank you. Yes this ones a bit fast paced. I learnt so much while doing research! Enjoyed this!

To be technical, there is no such thing as a good carbohydrate. There are only less harmful examples. There are essential fats, and essential proteins. However, there are no essential carbohydrates. Just a note.

[@onlyplants]

❤️❤️

[@thaivo5281]

I like you better when you’re drunk! Lol that’s hard because I’ve already liked you a lot! Have a successful year bud

[@onlyplants]

Haha thank you. Have a successful year to you too

[@ikennat9355]

Please do alocasia and colocasia cause they really giving me stress😩 I just can't understand them

[@onlyplants]

Wooh I will try to do specific genus care tips from professionals soon. I was invited to a colocasia nursery but its so far away 😅

[@TheMrAlgoh]

Sean, what's your MBTI type?

[@onlyplants]

ENTJ I think but I have a feeling I’m moderate on each factor rather than extremes if you know what I mean. In some circumstances I could be easily be the opposite of all that.

[@melmac5173]

Thumbs up to your thorough fact filled format! Actually, I love your repots and demos as well as your greenhouse tours, too. Keep doing what you’re doing!

[@onlyplants]

Thank you

[@fwizzybee42]

Anthuriums are such a crazy varied genus! As a biologist this makes me very curious what defines them as a genus distinct from the other aroids. I’ll have to look into it.

[@onlyplants]

Haha I think its the distinct inflorescence

[@floridanaturalfarming3367]

Very nice work, keep it up🐸

[@onlyplants]

🥰🥰

[@teachandplant]

I really like educational content like this! Sean is a great teacher 😎

[@onlyplants]

Thank youu

[@matthiaslow8533]

I like this format very much...

[@Chuubie]

10:10 I just discovered that pothos could be giant!! when I was in jungle Mexico and did plant ID on these giant 4-6 foot leaves.. and it told me pothos. I was like.. what? The ones I have all over my house but are 6” instead?

[@onlyplants]

Pothos are epipremnum, and yes they can get large.

[@SCP-4680]

Excellent intro to the understanding of plant hybrids! Excellent video. We have 6 corpse flowers and are working towards a titan arum. My main plants are corpse cacti and titan is my goal even buying land for it. My wife said 2-3 acres to raise the titan arum.

[@onlyplants]

Oh my… what an interesting goal 😀 it is a genus thats often overlooked

[@valiaudet3415]

Sean, I watch any and all your videos. You always find something amazing 👏 ❤😂🎉🎉

[@onlyplants]

Thank you 🥰

[@BohemianCocoNat]

I love plants and learning. But I also have a lot of anxiety that goes away as soon as I put my headphones on. Mostly I listen to audiobooks but Sometimes I listen to Only Plants because of the gentle voice, no bombastic distracting music and the feeling like even when I am at the office I am actually in the middle of my plant room

[@onlyplants]

🙈🙈 Thank you

[@KimberlyAnnMaria]

I like the format... Also enjoy the tours.

[@onlyplants]

Thank you ❤️

[@diamdante]

hi Sean, the distribution of araceae genera across the two "worlds" is pretty cool basically two genera, lysichiton and symplocarpus, are closely related and westerners call them "skunk cabbage" because they are smelly lmao. they both stretch across that little bit of the north from china/japan, off the map and back into canada/usa another few -- wolffia, wolffiella, spirodela, lemna and pistia -- are basically all different kinds of tiny duckweed that float in ponds homalomena also stretches across both "worlds", but mostly biased towards asean with just a few species in south america the most interesting one is arisaema, which has q a lot of species and is scattered across the world. some people think that it may actually be a few genera, but for now all of them are in one genus. arisaema are pretty cool because their flowers look like a cobra head and also while the plants are dioecious (have m and f flowers on separate plants), the entire plant changes sex a bunch of times through its life

[@onlyplants]

Your knowledge is amazing. Thank you so much for this I may share this in a future episode. Any chance you can get to be on my instagram @bo.tan.ist so I can properly get to know you and credit you should such episode arise?

[@jasminlintag]

Yup, ur format is well appreciated... educational and in a more entertaining & fun way... thanks Alot

Do send me photos or description to my instagram and let me have a look. @bo.tan.ist

[@brandonturley13]

This is my favorite video style of yours. I learned so much!!! Didn’t even know Aglaonema was an aroid!

[@onlyplants]

Whoaaa I shall consider doing more

[@agnelomascarenhas8990]

I love this format, that has some kind of ordering. A light dose of taxonomy of would be great addition. Plant identity is also useful. Araceae : The smallest of all flowers is that of duckweed in araceae and the largest "flower" is titanarum. Some palms produce an enormous flowering structure. Rafflesia has the largest true flower.

[@onlyplants]

Oh wow… this is inspiring. Thank you

[@diamdante]

Great video as usual. I appreciated your highlight of epipremnum pinnatum. I, as a Singaporean, try to encourage my friends to get this plant instead of monstera deliciosa, because ep is a plant that's native to Singapore and won't cause problems if it accidentally escapes into the wild. Also I find that variegated ep holds the variegation better than variegated md, and is less likely to revert to green. Also it's chinese name is "dragon tail", and like, come on 🤷

[@onlyplants]

Yess Ive always pushed for the epipremnum. Especially during the monstera craze when their prices inflated like crazy. In one of my videos I even showed the epi and monstera mature form side by side. Epipremnum pinnatum is very underrated and under represented

Thank youu

[@CodyAF333voluntaryist]

Out of all the new and old world aroids you mentioned, Homalomena is the only one I'm not too familiar with and never thought about adding to my collection, although I'm starting to see them in nurseries everywhere. It is however the only one mentioned that I know of that is shared between the New and Old world. Now I'm curious what the other 9 are?

[@onlyplants]

Whoaaa interesting… didnt know they existed in both worlds!

White fuzzy mold on terracotta pots harmful to plants, pets and human? Thanks

[@onlyplants]

I believe its patina, which is salt buildups over time from water and fertilizer. Harmless to living things except maybe some plants that are sensitive to salts.

[@agustinkristineleighangeli8428]

Hi sir!, our teacher assigned us to know the strongest characteristics in our own chosen family which is the araceae... can you help me🥺

[@onlyplants]

That is very difficult to answer… perhaps huge diversity might be considered as a characteristic
