Wow! Love all of those. My personal favorite is the Philodendron Atabapoense. Such a stunner with the long deep green leaves and red backs.

[@carpediem.9]

Are we gonna talk about the beautiful elephant in the room? hahah That monstera behind you is such a beauty !! :D

[@JamesArmstrongPlants]

Haha thank you! Its grown so much this year 😍😍😍

[@carpediem.9]

James ArmstrongW yeah, it looks amazing! 🌿

[@teddyruxbin9300]

Love the long leaves! ❤

[@LeafyConversations]

The patriciae is my newest plant I too am in love with the strapping leaf at the moment. My palidiforum is a slow grower too, but I am hoping with the new Soltech light it starts growing long leaves.

[@noraramos3798]

This video is chock full of all of my top wishlist plants. So far I’ve got the pallidiflorum, the patricae, and the Billie. Ever since I first saw the sp morona and heterocraspedon I’ve been dreaming of adding them to my collection. Your gains in leaf size is impressive as is your collection!! Absolutely brilliant!

[@yeahivekilledthat719]

That anthurium pallidiflorum is amazing. All of the strap leaf anthuriums and phils are on my wish list. You have an envious collection.

[@cheesim]

Your monstera is so dreamy...

[@Aquamarine.Aubrey]

Your plants are fabulous! I love the bicolor ❤💚 another long leafer and red/green one is the P. Mexicanum! It's gorgeous too!

[@michaelyciano2123]

Yes the strap leaf !! Love them too. Yes, you got predators mites. They take a few months to really take charge. Do frequent checks to monitor progress.

[@TheRussellevans225]

Great video and lovely collection of strap leaf plants. Looking forward to the Philodendron care video. Take care and be safe.

[@theleafyloftmtl]

Congrats on the wendlingeri!! That's on my wish list for sure!! ✨️

[@rsrobsanz]

Awesome plants they wood love Puerto Rico

[@JamesArmstrongPlants]

They definitely would!!

[@marcopaganelli6059]

Beautiful James! They are growing so well 👏👏👏👏😁despite you are not talking of her I cannot move my eyes fro. The beautiful monstera albo borsigiana in the background I see she has two new beautiful leaves❤️ she's such an eye catcher. BTW the Musa ae ae pop has arrived and is completely without roots I have put it in a well draining soil and watered once I treated the corm with some cinnamon and put a powder of rooting hormones on it. I also cutted the tip of the top one inch and I am glad to have discovered variegation already in the remaining cutted part of the leaves so it seems to be a nice pop. If you can give me some hints on how to treat the pop I will love to get insights since it is my first banana plant I ever grow from a pop without any root. I put it in my orchid room with high humidity and Temps around 27 degrees Celsius. The vendors told me not to water too much and start fertilizing the plant when I will see the third leaf emerging. I will love to hear from you regarding what you think BTW the room has bright indirect light coming From a south wall of the building in front of my home.

Love your collection! That blue tinge on the philodendron heterocraspedon!!! And your patriciae is flourishing! I am so excited to get mine so will definitely be needing some care tips from you, haha! And I've been waiting so long to see your wendlingeri! That auction was crazy haha, can't wait to see it thrive in your care and push out those spirally inflo! Seeing your billietiae also gives me hope for mine (ish) as I bought baby ones to grow out, so hopefully mine will look somewhat as big as yours in a year, although I have no south facing windows so I suspect not :(

[@arilala9880]

Lovely Wendingleri ❤❤❤❤

[@victoriakosichenko543]

Please make a video about Patricia care! I've been wanting it for so long but a bit scared of it's nature =)

[@prideolea]

Beautiful plants James. 🌱🌱🌱

[@miguelmaginoo4905]

That patriciae looks so happy

[@alpina4115]

Omg the big Paraiso verde is so cool!

[@pitschl]

Thank you so much for this video! Besides your amazing collection, the fact that your "Paraiso Verde" got its variegation back gives me hope: I got mine with two beautiful leaves and all four leaves after that were just plain green.

[@sholafabolasi]

Just got my hands on a wendlingerii and a patriciae im excited

[@Iwantillhave]

Omg congratulations on your collection!

[@HelloJungleRoom]

So here for all the pendant plants. I’m waiting on an import with a vittarifolium and it’s just such an exciting time. Also, would love to see your philodendron care video!

[@elissasamartin6979]

I’ve been searching for a bicolor for so long! Just stunning! You need a variegated vittarifolium so I can watch it grow!

[@Yoliplanting]

Wow what a handsome young man. Said very respectfully.

[@katsweeterly2039]

I am totally here for the extra-ness that is this video :)

[@jennyagirsdotter9871]

Love the Paraiso Verde

[@eduardhamza1550]

Great looking plants, I envy a bit how healthy everything you own looks. :) Could you please share what you use for the spider mites(name/brand)? I enjoy your videos, keep up the good work!

[@TheLucha5]

That plant on the back is beautyfull. Monstera deliciosa variagated rigth?? adjust gorgeous.

[@msgrant221]

That monstera is so distracting (in a good way)!

[@YogiHai]

So cute :)

[@benwtang]

Your collection is amazing! I was wondering if you have any trouble removing anthuriums from terracotta pots. I need to repot my Anthurium forgetii, but I see that a lot of plant KZbinrs recommend repotting in a net pots but terracotta is so much easier for me to get a hold of.

[@pitschl]

16:16 Also, I have a narrow P esmeraldense that might fall in this category and is even more gorgeous than I imagined!

[@Luna-de8fi]

P. Esmeraldense is sooooo gorgeous!

[@JamesArmstrongPlants]

Yes it absolutely does - such an incredible philo! I have one too which is gorgeous but it’s not quite at the pendant leaf stage yet - soon though I hope! 🤞🤞💚

[@cheesim]

For long leaves Philodendron, I would recommend Philodendron crassinervium 😆

[@plantslolo475]

Could you please talk about syngoniums if you have some. I like your ph.bilettei.

[@nicolekuster6215]

Thank you for the information in your video. Recently I struggle a lot with my favourites - the strap leaved Anthuriums. 20 years ago I also had a huge beautiful wendlingeri, which I killed after 1 year. My actual ones started struggling after treatment with a granulated pesticide (included some slow release fertiliser as well): all leaves turned yellow immediately and dropped. I suppose due to the fertiliser because they are very sensitive to it, what I heard afterwards... But also my baby ones are starting to drop their newest leaves for which I blame the Thrips which I tried to get rid of but since they are in a terrarium and I can't spot any bugs on them, I ask myself if they are too often misted - so too wet? What are your experiences in both cases? It would be great to "hear" them. Thank you in advance. KR

[@swansea3651]

those biceps tho

[@realplod]

Philodendron patriciae are extremely rare and sell for 5k in Australia ;(

[@amiekyte44]

For your philo patriciae, what humidity level to you keep in in? i have one arriving in the mail this week.

[@asmonet]

I just got a wendlingeri - I am freaking out - I'd love to know how yours is doing, what you have it potted in and how often you water? Halp!!

[@mariavaldete8037]

Queria tanto uma mostera variegata mas não encontro para comprar

[@LibertyofParis]

Where did you get your philodendron bicolor's pot? I am looking for something just like it :)

[@mariavaldete8037]

Vc e de onde?

[@3333alex]

My goodness, your pallidiflorum gave me a bit of a heart attack. It's grown so huge in no time!

[@sixpackyoung9698]

Do you sell the cutting?

[@RJamir-vi1hj]

Oh my goodness ur monstera ... It's huge...
