Indonesia plant nursery tour, plant chat, and care tips from owner!

A plant nursery tour at Sanggar Kemuning located in South Jakarta, featuring common plants, rare plants, HUGE plants, and planty chat with the owner, as well as care tips. Here we highlight some GIANT philodendron melanochrysums, calathea orbifolia care, owner's top 5 houseplants recommendations, and plant chat about having a plant nursery during a pandemic. I have also included the prices of plants here so you know how much we pay for them in Indonesia. Through this video, I hope you can discover some new/interesting species to add to your wishlist, learn about plant care, and/or simply to sit back and be entertained.
Summary for calathea care:
1. Medium to bright indirect light
2. Very good air circulation
3. Super airy soil that does not hold on to moisture long
4. Never let soil dry out completely, but never have it soggy (water frequently but lightly)
5. High humidity

Thanks for the new and very interesting video! Needless to say, for someone who is "locked in" due to COVID, getting to go to a wonderful nursery virtually was a treat. It was also great that you included the prices even though we all know they will change (and usually increase!). I would like to know if you are "Sean" or "Shawn"? Names are important. Today we had a huge rain storm here which is a treat so while watching your video, the rain was pounding on the roof but I was in the nursery in Jakarta. Thanks a lot! Keep safe!

Hello, I am currently a serial cactus killer haha. There humidity is so high and they tend to rot. Also theres not many indoor places at home that I can keep cactus and succulents... jewel orchids is something I want to get eventually but not yet! More plant species to cover soon 🙌🏻
