These houseplant home tours are one of my favorite videos. Everyone’s home is so different and tells a story 💚

[@summerrayneoakes]

Truly. Reflective of everyone's tastes, sensibilities, and personalities.

[@smallretiredlife]

I love these home tours. This one is wonderful! I love seeing normal homes, where people live in a manner I can relate to.

[@rootedinplants]

YESS I love that about home tours, you really get the vibe of the person.

[@lauramarazzi1012]

yes!!!

[@jordanxfile]

Yep, Apartment Therapy plant version 💚🍃

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

Omg how cute is she!? I am dying over her little hanging gutter planters, the gold chain the Rhaphi is growing up. The little touches are so great. 😍

[@summerrayneoakes]

They are such fun little touches. I took loved the little gutter planters. Nice color too!

[@Every-l9sthing]

Where does one find the beautiful chain and teal hanging planter?

[@anitakessio5967]

Any idea where she got the teal planter box? Did anyone ever figure it out? I’ve been searching and asking but no luck so far…

[@hydrangeaism]

I love how Summer and Iris have such the botanical understanding of knowledge, respect and passion for plants and propogation. I adore how Iris presents the history of her beloved plants as if they were precious jewels in a jewelry box. Swooooon!

[@bokan800]

This is such a ray of light in these dark times we’re living in. She’s so joyful and warm. Please keep making these videos Summer. 💚💚💚

[@oishd6077]

I love how every plant person has a different story for their beloved plants ❤️!

[@kimviaene7262]

I live in Belgium and follow mama botanica and Summer Rayne Oakes. So it is cool to see both in one video.

[@elinevandermeiren4018]

Me too, was so psyched my jaw dropped when I saw the upload ;-)

[@ann9068]

Ben ook van België en een enthousiaste volger van mama botanica en Summer rayne oakes. Heel speciaal om hen samen te zien

[@elleke333]

Same! Plant heaven

[@Annekee007]

Yeah, so cool to see them together. And little detail, the way Summer pronounces Iris name!

[@Quinacridon]

Me tooooo!! So cool

[@damondominique]

Wait this makes me so happy that even potting soil is getting in the influencer game. PLANT KZbinRS NEED MONEY TOO!

[@petraivatovic3627]

I'm so happy to have seen this comment! Love u Damon, your videos are awesome! 💛

damn i did not expect to see you here, sir! Glad to know you watch planttube too

[@Youtubekanal-fp9gz]

Such a nice and Friendly Woman. Finally someone who really seems to have joy with plants and don't do it just because its "Fancy" on Instagram. I truly enjoyed that Housetour :D

[@vaotawa7601]

Agree

[@wescody7606]

Her asparagus fern is so beautiful the way it is cascading down and the planter is perfect for it.

[@jacebohlman3198]

I love how you said the plant knows where it needs to be it takes so much pressure off the owner to have “perfect plants”

[@andchildren]

This is my favorite TV!! I could binge watch episodes of this 😅. So nice seeing how people manage all their plants.

[@alistairfarrowe3564]

Iris's home is gorgeous

[@siddiaz1623]

I like that the cameraman is already inside before you came in.. nice

[@lapismosi8065]

What a true delight getting to visit these apartments filled with plants and love. You cannot give us too much!!!

[@avaf1084]

Great tour. Iris is so sweet. Her plants are beautifully and creatively displayed. Thanks for taking us along.

[@wadzamac5677]

Beautiful home. I love how her plants are not perfect. Very much like most people's homes.

[@KalodexD]

I like how the plants give calm vibes in her house, she did wonderful job at organizing them.

[@debs_boho_jungle]

She has a beautiful home with such amazing healthy plants, ty. You two were so cute together, like besties spending a day.

[@helenadurst5993]

Love watching two people bonding over plants!

[@hudiwibowo]

do these kind of house plant tour videos more often. I think it really could become a new series... love your videos Summer, I've been binging it all. great job and hope u always healthy and safe! Hi from Indonesia

[@clarav3646]

Lovely tour and a great video! But I feel as though sometimes you talk over the person you interview or times when you didn't let Iris finish her thoughts. I'm prone to doing this too, and I know it probably comes from excitement and wanting to engage with the person you're talking with, but it would be nice if you gave the interviewee a bit more space and time to tell their story! Love your channel and the work you do💚

[@wandashaw3551]

I love her place and how she has arranged her plants and she has a great variety! Love your field trips. 🐔🌱

[@solomontyu]

The blue tile backsplash is such an eye candy and so very Dutch, love it. Very nice tour. ❤️

[@StaceyHerewegrowagain]

Great tour. I love how cute her house is.. Great video, thank you for sharing!

[@summerrayneoakes]

Really reflective of her and her personality!

[@kirstenmc68]

I love the hometours and Iris is such a sweet woman who makes great videos too!

[@twistysunshine]

I love seeing everyone's different home setups! That hoya linearis is incredible!

[@tabathaemerson7673]

I love seeing how everyday people arrange plants in their home. It’s amazing to see all the rare plants with their interesting geometry. Would love to see more videos on rare plants! Xx love your channel !! Xx

[@greentape7817]

What a lovely tour, Iris has a very charming home! I love not only seeing the different plants people have, but also the different way that people have the same plants set up and arranged- It's like seeing a familliar friend with a cool new outfit or hairstyle! It makes you think of new ways to look at what you've got.

[@sophiebaldwin191]

Really enjoyed this tour and seeing how the plants have been accommodated in the space . They all look so healthy and happy in their environment. Thankyou for taking us along to Mama Botanica ( love that name) Summer!

In a short while I have 70 plants in our home and I haven’t even count the plants in my small garden yet 🤔 So you can imagine that I am always interested in tips and tricks to let all my plants be happy. 👍

[@ET-fq9nd]

So lovely and enjoyable to see people who love to grow things, and it's especially fun to see this in other parts of the world. It's an indoor houseplant travel show, and the perfect way to unwind from the pandemic.

Great video with Iris, love these house visit video’s!

She’s adorable! I love her design aesthetics. The air must be so clean! So many plants but it doesn’t look overwhelming.. except for the bedroom... don’t know if could sleep w so many, especially after their talk about thrips. =0

[@cibe2552]

Sometimes we plant owners get overwhelmed when we have pests e.g I, but very encouraging to see people w/ beautiful plants say we control it but they cannot be gotten rid of.

Wow!! I loved this video so much, it really is true about the space we have and fitting plants into it, I am always trying to make more room for more plants, I live in about 800 square feet, and I feel like you can never have too many plants. I love how she has taken each space and filled it with beautiful plants and the way she displays them is wonderful, the little touches are so fun. Thank you so much for such a fun tour, she is just so adorable, and so lucky with some of the plants she can get that we can't here in the states. Thank you so much Summer, really enjoyed this video, always so good to see you, take care sending love and hugs, bye for now.
