These home tours have quickly become my favorite thing to watch 🥰 I wish it was a TV show

[@lindylou3519]

Me, too!

[@plantmepaul]

Ahhh, I love it!!! This was such a fun time and I loved giving you the tour! The ficus is still doing well btw, 🙌🏾. Thank you so much for coming to my humble abode! It was lovely meeting you!

[@plantmepaul]

@Daniel thank you!

[@StitchesbySharonH]

I was pleasantly surprised to see that you have a lot of the same “different” plants that I have - Eve’s Pin, Lifesaver Plant for example. I don’t have any of the plants that need higher humidity, but maybe one day I’ll get a cabinet. Thank you for sharing your beautiful plants with us! 💜

[@plantmepaul]

@@StitchesbySharonH it’s been a lifesaver, no pun intended, and well worth the investment 😅

[@plantmepaul]

@plantvibelove thank you! It’s my fav color 💙

[@StitchesbySharonH]

@@plantmepaul 😂

[@PositiveRaincloud]

You and Planterina have single-handedly enabled my plant addiction, and I love it! Learnt so much from you on how to care for them :) Love these Home tours as well!!

[@madamplant]

Me too!

[@SonnyZia]

Same. Both of them are amazing :)

[@monkey6547]

I agree.

[@jenniferbarkhouse7977]

Totally agree

[@diangeT]

Saaame lol. And Harli G

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

Ahh love this houseplant tour, thanks for sharing Summer and wow Paul, you got an amazing plant collection, and love your set up. 🤩

[@nanaymanuel]

When the borders open back up I hope Summer visits Toronto and ur apartment 👀💚

[@plantmepaul]

Thank you!! :)

[@mainemisrin]

When he called dat Philodendron ‘Pink Princess’, NICKI MINAJ!!!! I wasn’t prepared HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA. 😂😂😂😂 good setup in your home Paul. Brick wall coexist with all of those plants very nicely. 👍🏽

[@plantmepaul]

Haha, thank you :)

[@mayakiruluta2084]

A lot of creators in the plant community always focus on plants when the real beauty is the stories and all the wonderful people who care for them ♥️

[@plantmepaul]

☺️☺️

[@tonibauer2405]

I know! That is my favorite thing about her house tours, though I do love the plants. This one is great, but my fave was a young black woman in the Bronx, I think, who had been homeless, but now has such a beautiful, imaginative, serene apartment full of plants, and was such a joyful, positive person. I want to find and watch it again.

[@ritalinehan4891]

,

[@PamsWalk]

Im a silent viewer but I really enjoyed this video. He has such a beautiful home.

[@plantmepaul]

Thank you :)

[@kimkearney5914]

He has so many beautiful plants yet, the way he places them, it looks like he could have a whole lot more. It's gorgeous there! Thank you for opening your house for us to see all the beautiful plants. I've got lots of ideas now!

[@plantmepaul]

Thank you :)

[@kimcartwright8111]

A beautiful, well cared for plant collection. It was nice to meet Paul and his plants. Plant people are so wonderful! Thanks Summer.

[@plantmepaul]

Thank you :)

[@jeniromero1949]

I thoroughly enjoyed viewing all of your beautiful plants, as well as the sweet stories that went along with each of those plants 🪴 you did such a wonderful job taking care of your babies. Thanks for sharing your experiences sweetie.

[@TheThriftedPlanter]

Paul is awesome! Happy to see this tour!

[@plantmepaul]

Thank youuuu :)

[@niyyatenee]

I love Paul so much. Finally got a chance to watch this. I'm so happy you were able feature him.

[@plantmepaul]

Aw thank you Niyya! Loved your tour! We need to visit each other’s homes soon! :)

[@marshaharwood8883]

I really enjoy these apartments/plant tours it’s so fun to see what everybody does with their apartments and their plants 🪴 decorating

[@plantmepaul]

☺️🥲

[@TheMillennialPlantDad]

Yes a house plant tour video ! I always love this, love to see how and where plant parents around the world keep their plants 🌱

[@tamojitghosh52]

Great video - I wish all who view such a video are as serious as Summer and this wonderful young man ( notice his name is Paul Thompson ) with the apartment. Paul has evolved into a cheerful house plant expert - what a lovely fellow !!! The house plants are ALL INDIVIDUALLY looked after - their botanical names provided - lots to learn. Paul had a steep learning curve over months to years and he certainly understands lighting, soil conditions, humidity very well. Summer choses her people well and really makes nice videos. She is welcome to visit us in the UAE - hope she will !!! If Paul wants to come he is welcome too.

[@bbrosser694]

Your plant collection is beautiful. I love how you devote special care to each plant depending on specific needs for soil, food, humidity, and/or lighting.

[@plantmepaul]

Thank you :)

[@liv_ryan]

I love the apartment friendly terrarium, I love watching small space plant styling. Everyone's is so eclectic and so unique. The trend of the disco stoned pots is simply stunning! Thank you both 🌿

[@plantmepaul]

Thank you :)

[@inos3697]

One of my favorites. Love him and how he simplified his plant care.

[@plantmepaul]

Thank you :)

[@cefcat5733]

It is wonderful that he cares enough to name his green roommates. A personal relationship helps to keep you aware of the care they need. If you have the mind for it, despite all the other challenges, you are lucky. Have fun.

[@denisewashington1875]

what a great start to my morning!

[@debjanibhowmick5870]

I love the plants and his pots are so beautiful. Lovely plant organizing too.

[@plantmepaul]

Thank you!!

[@jonesie8377]

What a beautiful collection Paul! Thanks for sharing your home and plants with such. I love how you decorate

[@plantmepaul]

Thank you Jonesie :)

[@michellereed479]

Loved Paul and his plants. So kind to share his plants & appartment with us. Love watching plant vids...but due to me living in the southern hemisphere, my plants needs/care can differ greatly to most advice given in plant care vids.

[@cefcat5733]

This is a 'dangerous' tour. Therefore, I am watching it numerous times and oh oh... my wish list keeps growing. 🌱🌿

[@plantmepaul]

Haha

[@phoenixkiger7318]

SAME, I literally screenshot three different plants so I can expand my collection lol

[@BabelSpeak]

I totally love this plant tour ♥that staggering variety and cute pots! Its amazing most of the plants look gorgeous. Even the air plants and succulents! Both of which, for me, mine look pretty sad 😓 Really enjoy all these houseplant home tours.

[@plantmepaul]

Thank you 😊

[@carpy1252]

Home tours are the best, I don't know how these people keep up with their plants!

[@wcsuss]

I finally found out that the plant I have had for months is a kind of Huernia!!!!!! Thank you!

[@Johanna-Rogier-Awad]

All his plants are so beautiful !!

[@plantmepaul]

Thank you :)

[@CoiNNoir1992]

As well as learning about plants... man the vocabulary in these programs... Suddenly I am sounding ever so intellectual!!

[@angelacurtis9389]

Really enjoyed this plant tour. Great collection and well organised.

[@plantmepaul]

Thank you 😊

[@plantseveryinch9024]

I absolutely agree I love getting baby plants and watching them grow 😍 💕 what a great apartment tour thanks for showing us your pretty plants 😁💚

[@plantmepaul]

You’re welcome! Thank you for watching 😃

[@tonibauer2405]

Me too! I found a small, rather beat up looking maidenhair fern in a garden center in April, but thought it was basically healthy and it was only $3.95. I got it, trimmed back all the messed up fronds, placed it in just the right spot sitting atop a bed of gravel with water for humidity, and it has tripled in size and looks gorgeous. All of my plants start as pieces from someone else, or 2-4 inch plants I purchase. I love watching them grow and thrive.

[@valeriaflores5754]

May be just my opinion but his Philodendron Brandi is so cute and the little leave are so adorable. I love the way leggy plants look.

[@mariastappenbeck5502]

Excellent information plus beautiful plant design ! Hope to see you again this year. 2023

[@mathilda6763]

Those pots are gorgeous. I love how colourful and reflective they are

[@plantmepaul]

Thank you :)

[@salimahmalik4593]

Paul I absolutely love your plant collection and your lG content as well. Love the houseplant tours.

[@plantmepaul]

Thank you! :)

[@catherinecancel1687]

Love the ambience in this apartment. 😍

[@JoannaLouise200]

What an amazing collection, and both of you so knowledgeable! ~ it was like visiting a botanical garden. I learn so much from watching these videos, and I love it that you give the Latin binomials. It was a treat to see the cactus: 'Gymnocalycium Mihanovichhii' as it is my most recent cactus acquisition purchased in the Spring from the Kew Gardens garden shop here in London. It has been non-stop flowering for months, and has the prettiest longlasting pink flowers that bloom one at a time in a 'crown' of buds.

[@pinkyjay1881]

Love Paul’s plants, what a lovely smile he has, too! Nice tour!

[@KalodexD]

So many tissue culture plants, kind of crazy how we all share almost the same plants yet we all live in different countries, fascinating.

[@brendanSD]

some GREAT planters here! and such a cute apt

[@plantmepaul]

Thank you :)

[@imaginarydreamer]

This man is giving me some serious plant envy! And those mosaic pots are to die for!

[@wandashaw3551]

Paul's Place is Plant Poppin!! I LOVE IT. Thanks for sharing. :)

[@plantmepaul]

Thank you!! :)

[@speedymcweeniemom8556]

Paul is so cute & what a lovely apartment & plant collection 💚💚💚

By far, this is like my favorite!! Make me want to buy every plant that Paul has!! I absolutely love each and every one!

[@plantmepaul]

Thank you!

@@plantmepaul you are so welcome!!

[@noemischmidt1152]

I love his collection. He put all his plants beautifully arranged. Amazing.

[@pilitathomason6993]

Love your plant tours. Yes love to get plants small and see them grow.

[@jenniferbarkhouse7977]

I love seeing how others have there plants displayed… give me new inspiration 🪴

[@plantmepaul]

Aw, I’m glad :)

[@cherylclough4309]

I’m new to plants and new subscriber to your channel. Wonderful tour through Paul’s plants. Loved it.

[@teetir1981]

Was thinking,ok I need to really cut down on adding more plants this month….then Summer shows up with this!! 😵‍💫🤦‍♀️ I’m like now..’I need more plants in my life…there’re plenty of space’ 😎🤪

[@plantmepaul]

Haha, so hard to just have a few.

[@melodysy3048]

Paul, I love your plant collection. There so much varieties that I haven’t seen anywhere. Most of them are in my wishlist.

[@bebe60602]

I loved watching you two, plant lovers! Thank you for showing us your beauties.

A subscriber from Philippines, I had learned a lot from your vlogs Miss Summer. I am also a plantlover..I love all your vlogs.

[@roeelcohen]

Thanks for all your content! Would love to get a video guide about soil types, mix and replanting pots!

[@plantmepaul]

I have a lot of that info on my Instagram if you want to check it out :)

[@charleneboyle5870]

This is beautiful 😍 my husband has our living room and dinning room turned into a jungle it’s amazing we live in NYC

[@shiningstar1869]

Love the Golden Flame! It really stands out. I need to get one 😁 I have many sansevieria plants. Birds nest one of my favorites. This is a nice apartment and a nice setup. 👍🌿🌱🍃🌿

[@plantmepaul]

Thank you! Ya, the Gold flame is great! :)

[@janecurtis5726]

Very impressive number of plants that Paul has fit into his apartment. I use Dyna Gro and find it an excellent fertilizer for a wide range of plants. I feed my Tillandsias 1/4 strength with it once a month all year round. That’s in the Northeast.

[@LostInThisGardenofLife]

Oh I love that you mentioned Noble Plants, I miss visiting that plant store. I hope they’re doing well. 🙏❤️

[@ebbypetes]

Now I want one of those pickle plants. I'm a sucker for trailing plants. Thanks Paul.

[@swatch12345]

Paul definitely has the magic touch. Everything looks so dang good.

[@plantmepaul]

Thank you! :)

[@mackarroyo6376]

Lots and lots of very cool plants & super cool planters! Great plant tour. I’m curious how long it takes him to water them all! Nice apartment too - lots of great light.

[@superfund42]

Thanks to this tour, I finally identified my Sansevieria "IKEA" - it's a dracaena fernwood!

[@mmoolloo]

"I love how thick and woody they get here in the old part" (talking about that ficus elastica). As someone who lives in a city where these are grown everywhere, this type of comment is always funny to me. I'm used to seeing them as huge 10+ meter tall trees. The first time I saw one in a pot as a houseplant my first thought was: Those little saplings look cool! I never thought to keep one inside. They are sidewalk busters (one of them almost destroyed my grandma's house foundations and it took years of fighting the city government for them to remove it), so I never thought they could grow in a pot until a couple of years ago.
