Unusual And Uncommon Plant Shop For Apartment Living in Singapore @littlebotany

In this episode, Fendi shows us around his plant shop @littlebotany (west branch) to see his beautiful collection of unusual plants that do well indoors (in medium to bright indirect light). Fendi deep dive into plant care, and show us many interesting species and how to care for them. He is passionate about plants that can grow into indoor trees, so we will see a few options there. Fendi practices environmentally friendly and sustainable plant care, so keep your eyes peeled for some great tips!

I saw your photo with kunzo, i waiting your video from Japan.

[@onlyplants]

Thank you 😀 that episode should be around July or August

Here in my Country Philippines 🇵🇭 we call Moringa as Malunggay. We have a chicken soup here called "Tinola" we put moringa on it and we have a bread called "Malunggay pandesal" made of moringa also

[@instakillgaming]

I saw a small variegated version at a nursery once but I didn't buy it, I regret that a lot. Haven't been able to find it again but it's such a cool plant

[@onlyplants]

Oh wow it sounds very healthy!

[@edweena3530]

6:44 Trevesia Palmata . . . must . . . have . . . now. Wowzers. Thank you for sharing this with the plant community.

[@onlyplants]

😀😀 the trevesia is very fast growing and considered invasive even. Its really lovely though.

[@leapoh5434]

Super nice plants ... ❤

[@onlyplants]

Thank you ❤️

[@sherryporsch9349]

Fendi has an awesome shop!! I hadn’t seen the Croton Mother Daughter in 20 yrs, such a cool plant. I’ve planted Bamboo 3 times now I don’t feel so bad. 💚😀

Really appreciated this is beautiful thing to be shared ❤️

[@onlyplants]

Thank you 😀🥰

[@jovanessavf164]

I used to play with that cute croton as though they were spoons. 😂 Oh, and I believe the only way to propagate bamboo is from stolons. You have to really dig up the plant and divide the root clump with an ax or a.small saw. Eep! Haha

[@onlyplants]

Thank youu

[@tanchongkiat]

What a treat！Two of my favorite plant people in one video. One familiar face at the very end too. Looking forward to see Leslie, Jon and Eunice in the next episode. Can’t wait!!!

[@onlyplants]

Haha yes thank youu. Im excited for the new episode too

[@diamdante]

Cekur manis (aka sayur manis or sweetleaf) is a very delicious vegetable. It's common in both malay and chinese cuisine, kind of tastes a bit like spinach but with a slight sweetness. Very good in a omelette/fried egg

[@onlyplants]

First time Ive heard of it! Will be on the lookout for it

[@diamdante]

@@onlyplants I think indonesian people call it daun katuk, sayur manis is the name in malaysia/singapore

[@gbengaishere]

Watching this was the highlight of my weekend -I really enjoyed how you weaved in background to shop, explaining little botany's ethos and showing us the space and plants, all done so smoothly. Very skilful Sean 🚀 And so happy to see you on here Fendi!!

[@onlyplants]

Very kind words, thank you 🙏🏽

[@debbiefox6846]

I thoroughly enjoyed this tour! What a warm inviting space.Fendi seems so kind and it's nice that he shares the knowledge he can with customers. We don't really have any places like this in Northern California where anyone would help customers in this way. I loved all the repurposed items and the pot recycling is fantastic! Thank you both for your time & the tour. Saw several things I've been jonesing to buy such as the blue oil fern and a few others. 🫶💚🪴🍃🌿🌱🌵☘️

[@onlyplants]

Thank you ❤️❤️ for the dose of positivity

[@petevsplants7516]

Great video, Shaun! Keep them coming mate :D

[@onlyplants]

Thank youu

[@brocktoon8]

Ooooooh really enjoyed this one! I agreed with all the points Fendi made, especially about helping the animals, I loved when he said he only uses cedar oil so that it's healthy for our animal friends. Love his shop, would love to visit! Also he's on the sansevieria (as opposed to dracena) team - wooooo! :D I would love to see another episode of his cute little plant collection - the little bonsai looking ones. ^^

[@onlyplants]

Haha yes I’d love to come to his new location when its finished. It must be quite interesting

Wah! 😢 This makes me think of all the wonderful plants I had to sell/give away when I left Singapore! I have had to start over in Melbourne and plants are so expensive here in comparison. Thank you for a great tour Sean! 😊

[@onlyplants]

Oh yes it is near impossible to bring any plants into Australia. Hope your collection grow beautifully and sustainably there!

[@UtukushiDAE2007]

I have several moringa trees at home. They grow quickly so you can chop them to make bushy. The leaves can be air dried to make powder to add to your soups and stews. (One time i harvested so much that i left them at a corner in my dirty kitchen and forgot it. I saw a dark non sti ky juice instead. I doused my trees and plants with it. They grew vibrant leaves.) I use the more mature ones or dried stalks even.

[@onlyplants]

Haha thats cool. They look really good as well. I should consider getting one too

[@UtukushiDAE2007]

@@onlyplants yes. You can grow them easy. Chop a 2-3inch trunk and chunk it in a pot (so you can prune them to bush) or on the ground (they grow really tall and fruits are long ribbed ones they are fun food to eat. They grow well under the sun and with adequate watering. The leaves that fall can be fermented as liquid fertz. No waste.

I remember that Dieffenbachia ! I could be wrong, but I think it’s named Dieffenbachia Memoriacorsii ; I could be wrong tho, one of my friend ID’ed it for me lol Also yeah, always been very jealous of SG with their selection of indoor trees, got to know the everfresh tree from them, and has been eyeing at them non-stop. The dream tree (Well, my Trevesia Palmata is also a dream come true) 😂

Thank youu

Great video, Sean. Could you please let me know the ID of the climbing plant (mostly Rhaphidophora) that we can see on the left hand side of the thumbnail picture?

Hello. Just curious to know if you created another channel called "OnlySean?" I noticed that channel came up on my KZbin feed and I remembered that you had already uploaded that same house tour video. Just wondering. Enjoy your videos very much!

[@onlyplants]

Yes thats me! 😀

[@onlyplants]

Its a personal channel with non-plant related content

[@anthonyt1228]

I enjoyed seeing the beautiful, and unique plants. Lovely plant shop! The soundtrack was distracting and awful as I couldn’t hear the conversation. I suggest not playing any music when there is conversation. Also please invest in a better microphone and this will improve the video. Thank you for all your hard work in creating these videos ❤

[@onlyplants]

Thank you ❤️ let me look into the background music. It played fine on my Laptop and mobile phone, but it may have sounded very different with earphones or home theatre speakers. Thank you, please keep the comments coming I do read them all and it helps me out a lot! 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Yes, we played your video on our tv home theatre with surround sound

[@carolincc5675]

Wonderful video! I live in Europe and have been thinking about importing some plants from Asia. Does anyone have any ballpark figures for shipping (Sweden) and any fees? I've gotten several offers lately, but they all sound too good to be true.

[@onlyplants]

I hope someone in the comments section can help with this 😀 all I know is shipping rates went up significantly in the past year.
