Bali Rare Plant Shop Tour @Mentik.Bali | Find Out Whats Growing Here!

I visit Mentik Bali, a rare plant nursery and shop located near downtown Denpasar of Bali Island. Adi shares some plant care tips in Bali, and we tour his collection to see what he has in stock. He is an avid collector, hunter, and trader of rare plants, seeing plants fly quickly on and off his shelves. They do export so feel free to reach out! We hope you enjoy this plant tour video!

Next time if you visit Bali again, i would recommend to reach out their Platycerium people/community there. I think their Platycerium enthusiast is the most prominent from all of regions in Indonesia...

[@onlyplants]

Whoaaa good to know. I did notice some during the bali plant event.

[@dewantoroo]

@@onlyplants or you can simply find Platycerium collectors that live in Jakarta or near. I'm pretty sure there are few... I think It's interesting content to cover. Since it's very "underrated" plant genus (in my opinion), there are only 18 species in the world, and 4-5 species are actually native to Indonesian forest.

Oh my.....yet another reason to head to Bali!⛱️🩴🦀🌿

Thank youu

[@bragastraat2288]

It's nice for a change to hear most of the conversations in Bahasa😍

[@onlyplants]

Hehe

[@annisaw66]

I completely agree. In fact, it’s helping me brush up on mine because I live in the US. I also show my mother your videos. Makes us feel like home, and she gets to see why I’ve become a plant enthusiast myself. Terima kasih Kak Sean 🙏💚

[@FirstLast-yq9wl]

Wow, such beautiful plants. I can only dream of seeing all those in one place. Australia is really strict, we even have problems sending plants to certain states!

[@onlyplants]

Yeahh. I hear tissue culture plants still in jars are very easy to ship into Aussie, maybe that is the future.

[@martimasters7704]

Enjoyed this very much! Thanks!!!

So funny when he said these came from oversees. You guys are oversees. But I get it. Somewhere other than Beautiful Bali.

[@onlyplants]

Haha thats an interesting way to see it

I don’t know why I love to watch vlog about plants that I can’t afford HAHAHAHAHA

[@onlyplants]

Haha you’ll be able to afford them someday though. All plants become common at some point

To me it’s like studying art history. And when you finally get your hands on one, it’s a speechless breathtaking moment. You appreciate it even more.💚🌱 Someone say..Leonardo da Viney, or Vincent Plant Gogh ☺️

Apparently a simple solution of water, dish soap, and baking soda works just as good as those commercial pesticides and fungicides (it works as both), and it doesn't harm the environment. Just saying . . (cheaper too).

[@onlyplants]

They do work but its not as reliable and efficient as chemicals. The sweet spot is actually neem oil which does have a lot of reliability… or even better to use predatory bugs 🥹 Im trying to source some here but its impossible

[@brocktoon8]

@@onlyplants Ooh that's true, I forgot about neem oil and predatory bugs! I'd love to try both of those. I've tried the soap/baking soda and was surprised how well it worked for my problem but every problem is different and what works for one might not work for another. Thanks for reminding me about the neem oil! Predatory bugs are awesome too but a bit expensive for my purposes. Let me know in case you try that, I'd love to see a video on predatory bugs with updates! :D

[@annisaw66]

@@onlyplants I’d like to work on a way of making the distribution more accessible to places like Indonesia.

[@labaylabay8591]

its so interesting listening to indonesian language. a couple of words that sounds familiar to me, "bunga" is fruit in the Philippines. you were talking about the anthurium flowers. "puti" is white in the Philippines. i know that there are a lot of Malaysian words that are similar to some of the dialects in the Philippines but I didn't know that Indonesian is also similar

[@onlyplants]

Yesss our northern point is very close to your southern point.

This is so beautiful! I live in New Zealand, and like you said Australia is almost impossible to export to, us in NZ are the same. It means prices are staying inflated much higher than elsewhere and are dropping much slower, though still quickly now. And plants that dropped in price a year ago elsewhere are only just starting to become less rare here. It's so interesting to compare all the different countries. Is plant culture very normal/popular in Indonesia in general? Or does it just seem like it to us because we see so many beautiful plants through yours and others channels?

[@onlyplants]

Indonesia has a hugeeee population. I would say the percentage of population that is passionate and invested in plants here are much less than most developed countries.

I am currently in Bali and am hoping to visit some nurseries/plant stores during my last couple of days here. I already messaged Mentik Bali to schedule an appointment. Are there any other places here that you would recommend? Thank you!

[@onlyplants]

Theres a stretch of nurseries near sanur. Theres a garden supply store called “tria garden” with a secret tillandsia nursery at the back. Find this in google maps and you should see the row of nurseries along it.

[@sumanthmutyala916]

I am from India, visiting Indonesia next month. Will I be able to carry few cutting of planes in the flight?

[@onlyplants]

Unfortunately that is not advisable… customs in Indonesia might stop you, or customs upon arrival in India may also find the plants. Its a bit risky…

[@Miles_Hoffman]

Thank you for posting. I’d like to reach out or at the very least see on IG. What is his handle? I can’t seem to find it. 💚😎💚

Can you ship to Canada?

[@onlyplants]

Do reach out to them directly on DM. If I recall correctly Canada requires an import permit but the application process is a walk in the park.
