Thanks for stopping by and checking us out! 😊🍄🍄

[@sydneyplantguy]

My pleasure :)

[@lesliehughes9382]

Dude with "big nuts, small trees" catching Jan off-guard. 😂😂 😂 Did not see that coming!!

[@sydneyplantguy]

Hahaha totally :D

[@Munekita]

I was laughing so hard watching his face and seeing how hard he was trying to hold back trying to keep it clean

[@AlyssaCarter-m1i]

It’s 1am where I’m at and this planty video is just what I needed. I just sat down from staring at my ikea greenhouse like a mad woman. So many of my plant babies are tossing out new huge leaves. Color me obsessed!! 🥹🫶🏽

[@AlyssaCarter-m1i]

$50 for el Choco is insane to me. I got both of mine for $20 😅 and they’re HUGE.

[@helenmcdonald1950]

Oh wish I was there!!

[@sydneyplantguy]

You can’t just look at prices & not take into account currency, exchange rates, cost of living & minimum wage :)

[@AlyssaCarter-m1i]

@@sydneyplantguy oh I know I know. It’s 100% worth it either way. I have a hard time putting a cap on how much I’ll invest into plants because I just love them so much. 🥲

[@jean-lucb.6670]

How lucky you are ! we'll never have such an incredible fair in France. Plants and flowers are amazing. Thanks for this tour.

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thanks :)

[@smajliiicka]

What are you talking about, the amount of garden shows in Europe is insane... Definitely more often than what we have here in Southern hemisphere haha😂

[@jean-lucb.6670]

​@@smajliiicka Hello. We have a lot of beautiful garden shows in France, like Chantilly, that's true, but not plants fair like this, as I know. but I f you know one, please share.

[@smajliiicka]

@@jean-lucb.6670 cava Jean Luc, there was a huge market just 2 weeks ago in Germany - I'm not sure about France, but there's also markets (regularly held) in Netherlands - I'm from Czech originally so I consider the travel a bit necessary but then again with prices for transport it's very affordable :) try Google for botanical/houseplant markets - I'm sure there'll be something closer to you in France 🌻

[@Gkrissy]

That gorgeous looking cactus with the unique shape. Aj’s plants looked so nice and lush. Congrats to her magazine spread.

[@grotten-motte8668]

...and so I realized once again: I clearly have far too few plants at home. I have to go shopping. Urgent. Unfortunately I would have to spend the night there because I couldn't decide. 😂😂😂Thanks for taking us there. snowy greetings from Germany

[@sydneyplantguy]

Haha a good problem to have :) thank you!!

[@gregl6455]

Thank you so much for this, a much needed video for my soul. I'm currently living in a rented place with people that is not a fan of having plant in general 😔 it's a bit frustrating, so watching your video is a relaxing activity. When i have my own place, i want to have a garden full of flowers and air purifier plants inside my house!

[@agnus.k.plants]

Awesome tour of the fair and can’t wait to see what you bought there 😊

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thank you:)

[@heatherstephens9295]

Hats off to all the growers for all of the amazing plants they had for sale. I would have been broke before I even made it to the end. So nice to see JJ & Chris, their stalls were eye popping good. Thank you Jan, so looking forward to seeing what you purchased 🥳🥳

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thank you:)

[@carolstuff]

Awesome fair! I can see the comparison from last year; not only is the plants more exciting, but you appear more comfortable at the event. Good to see AJ…it’s been a while since we saw her. Thanks for taking us along Jan; looking fwd pt 2!

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thank you:) definitely more comfortable in front of the camera these days :)

[@killodendron]

The same pride you feel when you see your friends moving up in the world, is the same way I feel watching your platform grow and you gaining so much confidence over the years. Granted, that must be really weird hearing, from people you've never even met... 😂😂 But I don't give a damn. We're proud of you! 💞🌿

[@sydneyplantguy]

It doesn't sound or feel weird at all :) I really appreciate it ! :) thanks

[@robynfisher4455]

Wow! So jealous, I'd love to see that, but it looks a bit overwhelming. I feel like you'd need a week to see it all properly. Had to laugh when you said you just came to film, not buy😂. Yeah right Jan . Can't wait to see what you bought😍🤩

[@sydneyplantguy]

Hehe yes it definitely got a bit overwhelming 😂😂

[@TheMoodyTarot]

Love living vicariously through you, but I wish I were there 😂❤

[@sydneyplantguy]

Hehe that’s what I was hoping for with the video :) better than nothing right?:)

[@sydneyplantguy]

Oh nice !! Enjoy :)

[@monikawinklerova3316]

wow! 😮 there were soooo many stunning and unique plants? I arrived on Saturday at around 1pm and there was prob. quarter of those plants left. seriously? 😢 anyway, im glad u got this early access so we could see it all. 💚Thanks Jan.

[@sydneyplantguy]

Yeah people start linkng up from 6.30am to get in early !!! First come first serve hehe :)

[@wanderotter4667]

Your skin is glowing. ✨

[@sydneyplantguy]

Hehe thanks :)

[@rhianna2254]

The variety you get in AUS in absolutely amazing compared to what we can grow in the UK! So lovely seeing all the different plants, very jealous. Great video! Makes me want to go shopping :D

[@sydneyplantguy]

And that variety despite biosecuriy laws !! Our climate is pretty diverse so there’s a bit of everything :)

[@Autumnstorm79]

I haven’t even started and am so excited! I love all your content but I’m enjoying the fact that you’re “widening our horizons” with your content. The last video on biodiversity was very informative and something I think I want to look into more. On your other channel your video on showing us the farm was fascinating. Even though I live on the other side of the globe i felt like I was there getting “lost” with you looking for wild kangaroos and koalas. Random question: are kangaroos hunted there? I feel like they are equivalent to our moose - they’re everywhere - and there’s a hunting season for them. And the view from the summit? Stunning. I’m really looking forward to seeing what else you have instore for us. I have a feeling that you’re going places. K, going to watch the video now 😊 yup, I’m weird, I’m talking to you as if you’re right next me 🤭 bffs 😉

[@Autumnstorm79]

He said big nuts, small trees 🤭

[@sydneyplantguy]

Hehe thank you:) yes I see this channel as an opportunity to learn something new & take you along on the journey :) keeps it interesting :) haha and I talk to the camera like u are all my bffs too :P so that works :)

[@kingaborowska4113]

I would love to visit such place one day 🥹

[@sydneyplantguy]

It’s so nice to have that every year :)) one of my highlights!

[@ParrotplaySix]

I enjoyed your video very much. I also loved listening to the parrots in background.🪴🦜

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thank you:)!

[@australiancarnivores]

I was there! The carnivorous plants are my favourite, thats what my collection and my channel are about

[@sydneyplantguy]

I’m really getting into them now :) they are so cool!!

[@australiancarnivores]

Haha thanks! @@sydneyplantguy I have some care guides on my channel 👀

[@torquess454]

Omgosh I’d have to remortgage my house going to that show ❤❤❤ if I owned a home… living expenses here in Canada prevent us from saving a down payment for all the multimillion dollar 3 bedroom homes! Who’s that with you helping film Jan? Those natives are stunning, wish I could grow them here in Canada

[@sydneyplantguy]

Haha nobody can afford a home here either so at least no need to worry about a mortgage :D haha that’s Paul, a good plant friend of mine :) we’ve been going there together every year:)

[@smajliiicka]

Ppl come with trolleys, man I'd drive a truck to fill it up in there 😂 thank you for this tour, so cool, little bit jealous as some varieties still not available in nz. Glad you had fun ❤

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thank you:)

[@zizarazzaq9888]

Vvow!! No…ice..❤️

[@KayBX]

9:55 this place was one of the first place I purchased on Etsy ❤❤

[@The-Growroom]

Lol I bought a Choco Red a short while ago for like 15 euros. Still inspired me to go to an expo in my country!!

[@sydneyplantguy]

Well 15 euros in Europe is actually more expensive than 50 AUD in Australia ;) exchange rate, minimum wage, cost of living needs to be factored in when we talk about pricing

[@australiagreg3179]

Here's a hint, if you get into cactus, I'm not coming. Loved this vid.

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thanks :)

[@innikolic6352]

"Big nuts - small trees" 😂😂😂

[@sydneyplantguy]

Definitely my favourite quote 😂😂

I will be a kid in the candy store vibe if ever i go to one of these conventions.

[@isabellemaurice5815]

Grand merci pour la visite de cette exposition 🤩 ! Vous êtes reparti les mains vides 😉 ? J'ai l'impression que les prix étaient aussi "superbes" que les plantes 😏. À bientôt 👍🍀

[@sydneyplantguy]

I definitely bought some stuff :)

[@teresabaumbach7883]

I wish you were interested in Angel Wing Begonia in paticular propgating. They are the hardest for me.

I actually saw you pass by Sam aa she was also vlogging haha small world guys!

Vloggers in the wild 🎥🌱🪴

[@meenalpatil1537]

Love your videos 😍 sorry 😅

[@sydneyplantguy]

Why being sorry?:) thanks :)

[@PureAussiegirl]

Just about to watch this for a second time so I can actually write down the names of some of these nurseries. Everything is so beautiful 😍 ❤. I would have come out with so many plants!! What did you end up getting? Did you get anything? No way could you leave without something. ❤

[@sydneyplantguy]

A little shopping vlog is coming on Thursday:)

[@KayBX]

My one is just a little smaller than that and I paid $24.50 but I did buy a little baby recently and it was $60😅😅. (this is before I bought the bigger one.) 3:32 Also, I’m planning on going to the show next year ❤

[@rigsbsiusev8596]

I wish we had events like these😢 I would be EVERYWHERE

[@sydneyplantguy]

The team at the collectors fair definitely did amazing !!:) so lucky to have them !

[@ericaeschenbacher4921]

Going to a Plant Show, not gonna buy anything?!! Impossible!😹😻

[@sydneyplantguy]

Hehe I definitely didn’t leave empty handed but these days I also enjoy just looking at plants, don’t always need to buy them all :)

[@jinyan3297]

Is monstera obliqua peru on your wishlist? Would love to see how you grow it huge!

[@sydneyplantguy]

I have 4 🫣🫣

[@jinyan3297]

@@sydneyplantguy can’t wait for the video about them!!

[@DieDieEla]

Hello Jan, I have been wondering for some time whether it is actually a good idea to always touch all the plants. Especially if they are not my own. I know that everyone does it, but in the worst case scenario you could transmit pests. Especially at such a big event. what du you think about it?

[@sydneyplantguy]

Don't think that would be a big concern... pests find their way either way :)

[@DieDieEla]

@@sydneyplantguy yeay, thats true. I never thought of it like that

[@norbertlepsik]

I was just about to ask wether they had some platycerium available there, and then the video showed one :D

[@sydneyplantguy]

I think there was a bit of everything! I definitely missed some stalls too 🫣

Let's see a haul!

Thursday:)

[@michaelbudde2352]

Hi! Das war sehr interessant und ich musste wirklich grinsen…denn wie du muss auch ich Pflanzen, die mir gefallen, immer berühren. Das kann ich gar nicht ohne…Aber Preise sind auch ganz schön happig 😳 - wie bei uns auf La Réunion… 🙄 Gab‘s denn gar keine Palmen, Bananen oder Canna? 🤔

[@sydneyplantguy]

Danke :) doch gabs alles :) hab sogar ne banane gekauft :) vlog kommt morgen :)

[@antoinegringo5838]

Damn, i would love to have such an event where i live

"Big nuts small trees" - you liked that a little too much!

[@sydneyplantguy]

Haha that caught me off guard haha

[@karenmyers9146]

I was a little disappointed that you didn’t show Hoyas. I realize they’re not your thing but I would have liked to see what Hoyas you have in your country as compared to the States. Other than that it was an enjoyable video

[@sydneyplantguy]

I think my brain just blocks them out, i didn’t even see any 😅
