EXCITING NEW GROWTH! New leaves on some of my favourite Aroids old and new!

[@JamesArmstrongPlants]

Lots of questions about where I got the moss poles. If you're in the UK I've added a link to the description! I don't know specific shops that sell them outside of the UK but I know they are available so I'll keep an eye out and add any links I find to the description too! X

[@scho637]

I’m a private collector in US and got my hands on a bunch of these. I can share them with folks who are interested. 😊 btw they are incredible and I’ve turned them into self watering ones that are super low maintenance!

[@katsweeterly2039]

Looked for the the comment about "the growth is on his freaking body, look at them guns!!" 💪 💯 it's not here yet so there you go ♥ 🔥 very summer-y indeed.

[@Chriscoleman55]

Come back! I miss your channel

[@rsrobsanz]

Miss your videos and you hope your well

[@ahiestastube]

Welcome bsck dude, we miss you

[@flowergirllove21]

So so happy you’re back!!! That heterocraspedon is STUNNING. My number one wishlist!

[@wilmaryoro136]

Hoya update please. Sp glad to hear your voice again.

[@TangoR3D]

would love to see a hoya update video!

[@aneres87]

Glad to see you back James!

[@noraramos3798]

Hi James! Glad to have a new video from you! I’ve been rewatching all of your older videos:) Do you know if I can get some of those plastic moss poles in the states, and if so, would you be so kind as to post a link or comment as to where I can order them from? Your plants are absolutely incredible; you had me at variegated Billie

[@Itachi-xk7gc]

Hi James, welcome back! I missed you a lot! I want to see you shirtless!

[@ObileeOo]

Hi James, good to have you back on KZbin. I have been missing your videos! 😊 Would you mind charing where you got those moss poles from?

[@Dixiwonderlandyoutube]

I´m so happy that you´re back James! Really love your collection :D

[@gordonissocoollike]

Thanks so much wonderful plants. Must try and find those growing supports

[@lawrencerosaluna1176]

I was just rewatching your content yesterday. Welcome back!

[@topledfactorystoreebay3883]

so happy to see you update the new video again:)

[@MyFellowFoliage]

That mint monstera towards the end looks unreal. It's so lush - do you have any tips on how to encourage monsteras to bush out? I heard they respond to notching and would love to hear if you've ever had experience with that

[@frederickramos8405]

Very gorgeous collection and very handsome plantito :) Love watching your videos here in Calgary Alberta Canada!

[@marsf4883]

Oh yeah a hoya update/growth video would be great!

[@shadibnewaz1331]

Happy to see you back!

[@sharondriver2445]

Awesome update, glad to see your new post!

[@maribelreyes5151]

Yes please,!! Update on your hoyas ??

[@yaindyroque12]

So glad you’re back !!

[@andronicustorres9153]

Damn dude! The vascularity in them biceps is tremendous! What’s your regiment?

[@Carey.S75]

I watch so many youtubers and i can't believe this is the first time one of your videos popped up on my feed. Now I'm intrigued by your plants so will definitely be catching up. I love that variegated Billetiae and Florida Beauty, just gorgeous. I will also be checking out Eastern Tropicals to get some of those moss poles. Thanks for sharing, it's great to see fellow Brits on the channel ❤🤍💙

[@mayahs792]

Hi James, love your vids! I was wondering if you have anymore Carla GPH001 cuttings?

[@lilkat85]

Hi James! Glad to see you back. Could you tell me where you purchased the moss poles please? ☺️

[@SilvermoonGarden]

Your Monstera Variegated Mint is so beautiful! #wishlist 😍😍😍

[@pilitathomason6993]

Yeah yes love the plant updates James. I just got into hoyas and rewatching your hoya videos.

[@turban13]

Happy to see you back, always loved your content!

[@ryanchen4112]

Great video!

[@plantwithroos]

Whoooo a new video 😍😍😍

[@robertoleonardi6313]

Great video James , i have green on green monstera i find it to be extremely slow so far. Love the mint thai one for my wish list. Thank You for sharing

[@marekkaminski6872]

Would you please show the update of the mosswalls? I'm planning on doing my own :))\

[@WilnaWanderlust]

Long waited update 🥹🥳

[@LucasEY]

would love to see how your anthuriums are doing :)

[@Newcards4u]

Looking for that moss video you made, is there a link there to where you get your moss from?

[@np3004]

Great video! Just a quick question, when you put the plant inside a bag to create humidity, do you make a couple of holes for the plant to breathe? Thank you!

[@love4plantsnmore182]

New Sub i love all with variegation variegation is my weak side lol my dream plant is the billietie Vag but i just enjoy it from other person collection im a single mom with a Autistic son and i will never ever gonna be able to bye a vag billie with my paycheck lol anyway beautiful plants 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@Dude_its_Lyz]

Where did you go?

[@tamankebondalem]

its so long time not to see your video

[@r3i2x]

oh baby i miz u. its been a while. 😊

[@alexissteve6631]

I’ve seen some Thai monsteras with similar variegation being named a thai platinum so maybe that’s what it’s named?

[@edwinysun]

Jesus Christ your biceps are even bigger than before

[@yolyV-hg3uc]

That’s thee biggest variegated Florida Beauty I’ve ever seen on KZbin

[@arnoldgenerao]

When are you going to have a new video?

[@danielnewald4758]

Hey, i really enjoy your content. Great stuff. I also do have a question, perhaps you know something about this. Were the cultivars Monstera andersonii "Archipelago", Monstera deliciosa "White Monster" and Philodendron pedatumxsquamiferum "Florida Ghost" artificaially created? I couldn't find any information on that and i find it suspicious that all 3 seem to have a similar mutation. At lest they appear similar to me. Cheers, DN

[@emmap3283]

Hey! Im not James but I am a plant physiology and genetics student so I can offer some insight. You’re totally right that all three look similar, and thats because all three have similar mutations causing chlorophyll production in the leaves to be unstable and/or delayed. In the white monster and adasonii archipeliago, The transcription or reading of a gene essential for chorophyll production is mutated (likely at the connection site) causing chances to be much lower for the TRNA to latch and be able to print off the instructions to make chlorophyll. once some is printed, it lasts for quite a long time in the leaf which causes that delaying greening up you see as the leaves age. florida ghost is the same concept, but has an additional mutation that coils and stores the gene away in high light additionally lowering chances of transcription. Its extremely rare for a mutation to happen the exact same way twice, but very common for two similar mutations to have similar effects as you've noticed. the more types of mutation can cause an effect( ex green on green var, theres a million mutations that can do the same thing in slightly different ways) the more common it will be. Hope that helps!

[@danielnewald4758]

@@emmap3283 Thank you for the concise reply Emma! If it is indeed a mutation interfereing with an existing metabolism, it makes a lot of sense that even different mutations could cause a similar result. Is there perhaps a forum for these kinds of discussions? I am usually not a fan of hybrids or variegated plants but these 3 fascinate me, as do the mechanics behind it.

[@emmap3283]

@@danielnewald4758 unfortunately I havent found any that discuss common houseplants at scientific depth. Its very difficult to fully understand without pretty extensive education in genetics, and most people who are educated in it aren’t interested in mutated aroids in cultivation. Everything I've been able to learn about the physiology behind these processes in aroids has been trial and error, crossing out what could and couldn’t be possible given their behaviour in relation to crop plants with similar features that have been sequenced, and comparing that to their base gene structures. the UBC botanical garden had a very active discussion Board in the 2000s but has since died out. If there is one around i hope to find it soon!

[@danielnewald4758]

@@emmap3283 I see, i joined that forum recently but it felt pretty barren apart from the moderators. Amazing that you managed to cross reference it with such detail at all. It can be quite taxing to read through some of the literature especially if you don't know were to start. I hope so too, thx again Emma & sorry James for getting a little off topic. XD

[@AnnieMaguire]

Hey! Would you want to trade for a cutting if your variegated Billie and Thai platinum?

[@MarcinDiering]

We need Hoya update now :)
