CARNIVOROUS PLANT Greenhouse Tour - Ep. 245

While in the Finger Lakes at the new homestead, we popped in to Florae Collaborative, which is a carnivorous plant nursery, which specializes in Nepenthes. Ryan Georgia, one of the owners of Florae Collaborative, takes us through his collection, including some of his favorites-while giving some solid care tips for carnivorous plants along the way.
You can find more about their operation and plants at: www.floraecollaborative.com/

I must say Sander, you do a great job as a camera person. Many times I just forget you are even there. (That’s a good thing). Especially considering how much back walking you do. I don’t think we appreciate that enough. Also it seems like all the cool people live in the finger lakes.

[@fiona4228]

Couldn't agree more. No wonder he's not listed in the credits -- he'd be haunted by every wedding planner in the Ithaca area at the minimum! The video production is fantastic!

[@dwikamil6115]

Yeah, since day one I found the video and I never get disappointed.

[@TheeQueenPoetry]

Exactly because me holding a camera is equivalent to a Parkinson patient... you are amazing!!! All of you!!!

[@kostasvorniotakis4157]

​@@fiona4228for 😂

[@1evie11]

I like him, he's cool and seems to know a lot. I could listen to smart people forever 😁

[@smallfaucet]

That rules me out.

[@aneres87]

It's always a delight to see the faces of people light up when they talk about things they are passionate about.

[@Riddlemt]

Tell that to my friends who are forced to listen to specific plant behavior

[@Tigerbuysplants]

I live in the Philippines and more than poaching it is really habitat destruction that’s the main threat (mining, quarrying, etc.- since no more wood to harvest) - if the habitat is kept even if a poacher collects as long as the habitat is there- populations will find a way to sprout- unfortunately some of the newer species are described and discovered because of habitat destruction rendering them extinct immediately. Poachers are mostly poorer families living near the habitats; while habitat destruction is mostly the responsibility of large corporations(even government). Grateful though for tissue culture and the plant trade overseas because they are able to keep populations in cultivation alive (i.e. there was a time when Vanda sanderiana was more available from Hawaii and Thailand)

[@NowayYeswayMmmHmm]

I’m not trying to stir the pot or anything… but there’s a lot of chemistry between these two. I’M JUST SAYIN

[@alscritters156]

thats what I was thinking jajaja

[@georginamikael473]

He has a wedding ring on

[@erikm8372]

really? you don't get gay/bi vibes? and I'm not just saying that cause I'm gay, buuuuuut... the chemistry might be that which exists between gays and their gals haha

[@NowayYeswayMmmHmm]

@@erikm8372 maybe my own gayness clouded my judgment. Idk

[@PsychologicalApparition]

Sadly for the remainder of the world, he's a wife 😒

[@sparshshetty5001]

OMG, THAT MOSS THOUGH..... its so lush ( I love moss)

[@Mosstachio]

Moss (absolutely love the feel and quirkiness of it), carnivorous plants, and succulents/cacti (succulents more so than cacti due to diversity and ease of handling compared to cacti 😅) are my favorites. They are relatively easy to take care of, very diverse, and they occupy their growing environments so well (if that makes any sense).

[@StrangeDisposition]

What a handsome fellow 😊! Nice plants too! Would be nice to see some Venus fly traps, pinguicula and sarracenia too 💙!

[@foxruneec]

Fascinating!! I just "retired" after 29 years of organic farming and I had the ignorance to worry that indoor gardening would be boring. Jokes on me! Great video - Im excited to try some carnivorous plants.

[@Riddlemt]

Sarracenia is so easy

[@radtwelve]

Hes such a hottie haha sorry just admiring

[@classproject00111]

Why do we gays love plants so much??? 🤩

[@nikmohamed5906]

Plants are beautiful and we love natural beauty!

[@rgoo519]

I remember when Ryan had native exotics. Ive bought a whole lot of plants from this gentleman.

[@pacharasamlinin5809]

I get distracted by this handsome man so I have to watch this video over and over almost 10 times. He is so expert in Pitcher plants. He makes me love plants. Thank you Summer to show a wonderful video like this.

[@janecurtis5726]

Excellent video! A cut above the average identification of plants tour... enjoy hearing the science behind it all. Love the greenhouse tours! Fascinating and beautiful plants.

[@curtisprice9806]

Love your black muscle shirt Summer....you look great! I live in t-tops! I also love all the great plants....I live on the Gulf Coast and I have grown hundreds upon hundreds of every carnivorous plant native to the south of the USA! Outside, lots of sunshine, pure water....easy! They love it! Some even grow submerged for a while.....Sarracenia Rosea and Parrot pitcher plant( forgot the spelling lol ) they do well in part sun by the way... since they live in tall grass, pinguicula planifollia.....leucophylla likes it very wet too.. All should never dry out. Hybrid vigor is great for Sarracenia. Bees pollinate all the plants with no help from me whatsoever. I would love a greenhouse for Nepenthes.....so many beautiful species! Great video

[@hefnhef1]

I collect nepenthes and have gotten many plants from Florae. Great place. Awesome to see a very in-depth tour of the place. Thanks for posting!

[@brahicmorgan8893]

These tours with passionate, specialized plant people are the best. Ryan is truly inspiring. I'd like to adopt carnivorous plants, but I'm always afraid I won't be able to keep them alive.

[@lesliebegamkenefic5961]

ASK FOR EVERYTHING, EXPECT NOTHING... IF YOU DON'T TRY HOW WILL YOU EVER KNOW... THEY REALLY ARE QUITE EASY...ONE THING I LEARNED, IS MY TAP WATER KILLED A FEW. since I changed to rain water.. their thriving

[@lindylou3519]

I love carnivorous plants. Been into them for about 10 yrs. A bog garden would be cool for you guys to have at Flock Finger.

[@Luciwho1]

there are lady slippers in Pennsylvania. I remember my father and I finding some and being very attracted to it. I went to pick it, and he told me they were endangered and protected. that was in like 1970. they are beautiful, and I would hate to imagine them not being in the wild.

[@dewantoroo]

Finally a greenhouse/nursery tour!

[@lamboboj]

So many victreebels 😍 I've been fascinated with pitcher plants ever since I started playing pokemon as a kid

[@tonybezanson9625]

I love my nepenthes. You will honestly be hooked on them after you get your first one. Such beautiful and amazing plants

[@Bobby11083]

Just for anyone interested, Florae collaborative is one of the premier Nepenthes nurseries in the US and provides some of the best plants in the hobby. It was definitely a treat to come across this video as somebody who grows these plants. I’ve bought many from them and they don’t put content like this out there like some of the other nurseries do. Awesome video!

[@SequoiaElisabeth]

These are my favorite videos you do Summer. It is so nice to see you in your element ;-)

[@jameswiliams9827]

Nice to meet a fan of variegated plants ☘️

[@katherinesanchez_]

Oooo you like him!!! Ask him out Summer!!

[@thespoiledtexan3904]

Obsessed with this video. I think I’ve watched 3X in the last week

[@erins.5420]

Makes me want to dabble in growing and hybridization these beauties! I can only dream and watch these videos. Thanks so much!

[@weareorigin]

Do it. Create new hybrids. The dream of dreams

[@karenfreedman9180]

I find this kind of content absolutely fascinating! Keep sharing more!!❤️

[@flowergirllove21]

This gives me such a different appreciation for the carnivorous plants. Oh my goodness 😍

[@martijndewaal8169]

please make more videos with him! loved this video. I learned so much. Beautiful greenhouse aswell.

[@irwanirawan-painter305]

Wow. The Sundews so graceful

[@remsan03]

The plants themselves are nice, but Ryan... woof! A good looking chap. If my gardener was looking like him... oh (fanning myself).

[@remsan03]

I've watched the video five times just to look at him again.

[@rgb5031]

This botanical video makes me feel so peaceful and alive, which is somewhat perplexing, considering this video is about carnivorous plants.

[@LunovaLabs]

He could culture my tissue, any day!

[@naturelee4503]

I just LOVE you picked carnis! You are my spirit person Summer!!! Thank you so much!!

[@albertcalibo]

I'm not really in to these kinds of plants. This video is like carnivorous plant 101 for me. Learned so much that I wanna have these plants. Another awesome video guys!

[@stardoll1995]

Carnivorous plants are just fascinating! 😻

[@carnationss4089]

Such an unbelievable collection 😍 Wow! I love carnivorous plants and have always grown them ever since I was a little kid. Unfortunately I don't have any at the moment but it's on my next shopping list for sure! There are so many great species of plants out there and the possibilities are endless 🪴🍃 Thanks for sharing another great video with us Summer. Your always a bright spot in my day and I love and appreciate everything you bring to the table. This was so interesting and exciting to watch. I'm looking to get some sundews very very soon! They're all such fascinating plants, each one showing off their individual beauty 😍 So cool!

[@sandylee1717]

Truly fascinating!

[@didib3695]

Love, love how he knows his stuff, very interesting. 💜

[@hrobass]

AMAZING plants!!!!

[@tibbs4000]

Coolest plants ever!!!

[@Bandispaces]

Amazing!💖

[@Apero1Spritz]

I live in a subtropical climate but growing these carnivorous plants is still very challenging for regular houseplant lovers.

[@instakillgaming]

awesome. just got inspiration from UNCC's greenhouse and now I get an BOMB upload from Summer Rayne, today's a good day

[@rosemaryfrancis1849]

I must say I found this video very interesting. I was fascinated by all of the plants, and what they do there at the Greenhouse. Learned a lot.

[@sealevelreef7174]

Thank you for to this video on nepenthes !!!!

[@bugsea54]

Very cool!

[@Fynbosfanatic]

Such an awesome episode! I love this. Wish he could show how he pollinates nepenthes.

[@thunder402]

I had no idea about these. Thank you for another amazing tour with plants.

[@erikaskaar]

I could watch this for hours, this has to be one of my favorites🥰

[@jameswiliams9827]

Nice 🙂 to meet a fan of variegated plants☘️, thanks for video

[@XxInesxX1179]

I have a nepenthes hanging outside all summer and comes in for the winter. Located in Maryland so the weather is humid enough for her to be happy 😊

[@WindowsillNepenthes]

Great video! Every windowsill is different depending where you live. And I wish we could find more TC pure species.

[@marsf4883]

Wow these plants are super unique and cool looking, kinda freakish looking, but still cool! Probably too cold in SF to grow these outside, but super cool. Hope more people collect these kinda plants and would be cool to start seeing them more in garden centers/nurseries.

[@mikec3820]

tissue culture is really cool. nice place. ty 4 sharing

[@phxrising66]

Great video! My partner and I grow orchids and carnivorous plants. I learned a lot. Thx

[@ryan_roga]

Those ampullaria in minute 7 are awesome. There's one beautiful tri-color in there. I want it... lol

[@AliciaCarsson]

So cool

[@nenaregalado5478]

Thank you for this tour. I just ordered😁

[@MD-hellodarkness]

This was absolutely fascinating!! Nature is amazingly perfect 🥰 💞

[@Mosstachio]

Better yet, nature is amazingly imperfect. Without imperfections I would imagine there would be far less diversity

[@MD-hellodarkness]

@@Mosstachio Yesss!! Imperfectly perfect 😉😃

[@serge231]

Wow.. He cute!!

[@Breeder333]

Mother plant lol. Love it! Also good on you for addressing the idea of landrace protection.

[@kalenzambrano9016]

Great video. I would also love to see a follow up video with a deep dive into the orchids that they have.

[@patpatterson6073]

Great video I just got into nepenthes myself! I look forward to more videos thanks for sharing

[@nisnber5760]

So were just ignoring the Cephalotus 23:53 and not a word about that beautiful Piper 37:20

[@tyle7351]

Love all these carnivorous plants segments. Do you have plans to feature a Sarrencia grower? Mike Wang, Jerry Addington, Mike King, etc are some names I can think of.

[@botanyboy5454]

Awsome!

[@structuralplants5420]

This was absolutely awesome love the video 🔥🙌

[@user-zv7dx7cs7i]

amazing

[@twistymisstea3439]

My fav plants is nepenthese.

[@cageC64]

YES!! I knew he was going to show a (veitchii x lowii) x edwardsiana. I have a small one I bought from him but never seen a specimen sized one!

[@jennielgreene3870]

OMG, Summer! I'm waiting for my Drosera Honey Dew to be delivered. It's such a coincidence that you made this cavernous plant episode. I'm trying one hoping it will control the insects around my plants.

[@JMarieLifestyle]

This was incredible I learned so much about these plants 💚 great field trip thank you for sharing!!

[@ivanartesbrasil2843]

Good Job girl

[@user-oe7fk5di2t]

I love in at George Utah super dry but I have a greenhouse in my room it’s I believe 4ft by 6ft and I have about 150 plants in there and quite a few of them are nepenthes and pings drosera sundew etc I’m glad he gave the right info you can grow them anywhere under the right conditions

[@mossdwellers114]

this guy is living my dream :3

[@cactoise2067]

I ship, he was blushing so hard when you compared the smell to a candy shop
