Plants for the Southwest PLANT TOUR - Ep. 334

[@ekoed]

This is like getting to watch a Netflix movie on my favorite subject. Love the long videos. Thanks Summer!

[@SoulfulInspiration886]

"I don't get tired of watching even if it's very long because I enjoy what I'm watching. Thank you for this summer."

[@edgibbs3229]

Incredible collection of cactus and succulents. Super impressed with the gentleman’s extraordinary depth and breadth of knowledge.

[@25oddlyenough]

Gene and Jane are the best! Extremely knowledgeable, welcoming, and a staple of the cactus community in Tucson.

[@graceaxisa4213]

I absolutely loved this video. I could listen to Gene talk for hours! So knowledgeable! I am glad he didn't get rid of that giant eucalyptus tree. Its shadow creates different growing conditions and that's always a good idea (plus, I live in Australia and have a soft spot for our magnificent trees) 🌿

[@PlantyMessyHypsie]

I can’t believe I stuck through this whole video, but he has so much knowledge and wow what an interesting collection of succulents! I couldn’t stop watching! Thank you for bringing this to us!

[@ping-indy]

The most challenging aspect of growing many indoor plants is watering them. You can't simply shower them all at once; instead, you must water each pot individually. This process can be quite time-consuming.

[@douggeddes3546]

OMG, love the stories Gene has to tell and what a wealth of information. Thank you!

[@michaelrabourn1966]

Thank you so much for the virtual tour. I love your videos on visiting nurseries and botanical gardens with cacti/succulents being my favorite.

[@pattin4015]

I have never seen so many Lithops in one place! Great tour of Gene and Jane's nurseries! Their plants, knowledge and passion are exceptional!

[@SequoiaElisabeth]

I visited there back in the 90's when I lived in Tucson. A wonderful nursery. So happy to see the welwitschia's doing well. Amazing Tour - Thanks to Gene and Summer for bringing us the desert's glory at its best.

[@alexatarr8472]

Ahhhh! I love Plants for the southwest. I live in Phoenix and travel to Tucson often to go look at every beauty they grow. It’s such a special place and I hope it lives on for a very very long time.

[@monicabuendia8035]

Absolutely my favorite nursery in Tucson. They are knowledgeable and kind.

[@justinalexander8845]

I'm a landscaper in South Carolina. I recently found a love in cacti / succulents. they're pretty cool. I've got most in pots, but some are actually in ground. Thanks to this video I now know how to take care of most of them. I don't know what it's called yet, but I've got one aloe that has red spines that I've had indoors in a window for the past 3 years. I took it outside last spring and it has grown four times the original size in flowered like crazy attracting honey bees and even hummingbirds.

[@traceytill4442]

Gene and Jane are generous for sharing knowledge they've learned from experience over decades of intimate observations of their plants. Many of their plants can be challenging and take patience to grow from seed. I'm glad you could share their story with the world :)

[@sophielussier256]

Lots of interesting plants! Thank you Summer!

[@hbanans]

I've been watching your channel since 2020. I have been wishing for you to see and spread the knowledge about our wonderful nurseries in Tucson! They truly are wonderful.

[@j0401on]

Fantastic!

[@andrein7160]

What a marvellous nursery. Love the variety, especially the penultimate greenhouse!

[@MrsLadywicked28]

I'm so happy to see you went here. It's one of my fav places to take a day trip to. Definitely worth the 2 hr drive from Mesa. He's the only one who grows Caralluma Socotrana from seed in the area. Such a huge collection of amazing species. HIGHLY recommend

[@teeznuhtz]

The watering tip with the lithops was very much appreciated ❤

[@helgedonath1524]

fantastic collection, unbelievable variety! unimaginable not to lose the overview. I have never seen such a collection. the man has incredible knowledge! Thank you for showing me. greetings from Germany.

[@jonstfrancis]

Great tour with Gene Joseph, he really knows his plants! What an awesome collection!

[@PhiloJendron]

I’ve watched a lot of your videos but this is one of my top favorites. He is so knowledgeable!

[@MrFkoller]

This tour was such a treat!!! Love all the euporbias, aloes, everything!!!

[@matocv]

Such a lovely tour. Will watch this again and again ♥️

[@00Mandy00]

I love the longer videos, even though I have to watch in chunks because…life.

[@Insidratwork]

Such an inspiring episode! ❤

[@caesarillion]

Wow, such a master at all that. I loved the show. Live 100 years. Easy. Thanks, Thailand Paul

[@janecurtis5726]

What a fantastic tour!! So many wonderful plants but I have to say that my most favorite are the Lithops. I really like the way Gene displays the cacti/succulents.

[@tariamesser3068]

I'm 1/2 way through the video and it never gets old. Thanks.

[@BlackwingTT]

Thanks for another great vid. Love the southwest because the landscape is so different than NY. The desert museum is a very cool place to visit if youre in Tuscon! ✌

[@Alwaysherethere]

I really enjoyed this Summer. Rayne !❤

[@ladogacamilla-9407]

So nice, that you show us such beautiful succulents!

[@trt2127]

Thank you both for this.Absolutely amazing and I loved learning and seeing all his plants.I’d love to visit to come to the USA from Australia to witness such hard work and dedication from these types of growers.Wealth of knowledge. Thanks again both of you,very enjoyable.

[@carolstuff]

Great nursery; love the backstories about his plants. Thanks for sharing!

[@DuneGlam]

[@Cactuscarlo]

Thank you so much ,this is pure gold ✨️ 💛

[@hadjosrs1529]

This is just amazing. Thank you so much!

[@agathan.944]

Finally, I have a reason to go to Arizona!

[@siarlbychan]

I wouldn't even know where to begin to comment on any plants that I enjoyed the most. Such a wonderful nursery and garden! I did enjoy hearing about the echinocereus viridiflorus which he mentioned Big Bend Ranch State Park just 17 miles from me. I did not realize that was a native cacti so that is going on my list of one to purchase at some point. One thing he mentioned was the toll the UV and aridity play on labels. I can't keep a label for more than a couple of years before they become brittle and snap at the slightest touch an d then there goes any info that was listed. Also, many people not from this area think of desert plants and the term 'no water' go together. Even heat can become too much for some cacti. Like the Saguaro that last Summer were dropping arms as well as collapsing due to the extreme temps. Thank you again for the fantastic and informative tours!

[@drivendraven]

this gives me an idea for staging micromeris... that one is soooo cute! my fave! this tour is beautiful and awesome!

[@Chigbert]

Love this nursery.

[@MR-puffnstuff]

I love these types of plants I love in the mountain ranges so these are not natives but are so cool and hardy.

[@christophertaylor9826]

Enjoyed the tour.

[@kat1984]

I live in Tucson, AZ and didn't know this place existed. I bought my first adenium in February and it's the only plant I have that is thriving through the excessive heat this summer.

[@damianadamski7275]

Such a great clip. You should be on TV. Ya awesome

[@RcModelCarsVienna]

❤I like your productivity. So much cacti and succies in last videos, great.👍 For me are cacti a real good indicator for the dessert climate and a great example of how important a stable climate is for the evolution of them.And how they live in this climate symbiotic .In perfect desert climate they can survive many dry conditions or hurts. But indoor u need in northern hemispheres a glasshouse to get them big. And the get easier sick also indoors.... They are challenging P.S; The Mojave desert burns😢

[@judyluce3141]

Oh no.... hope its not to bad. Prayers for quick recovery❤

[@BobbieAlexander-r3p]

I love watching this show for the first time I wish I had a greenhouse like his but all of my plants and I just was introduced to desert Rose which like a cactus but it is not attractive you have to grow it like one you succulent soil I love the new discovery of plants that is my hobby love it love it love it

[@cynthiadameron1399]

Lots of very interesting plants 🪴

[@yeahivekilledthat719]

So glad you did a tour of Gene and Jane's place. I visited there a few years ago and they were kind enough to give me a tour of the back greenhouses. I was amazed by all the conophytums, lithops and other unusual genera. It was the first time I saw welwitschia. Thanks for the tour of their wonderful nursery.

[@sammijane1640]

Thank you 💚

[@art0507]

[@Pink7omy]

Amazing 🌵 ❤.

[@karloskampos34]

Awesome video

[@bond12]

Simpy Beautiful!!!!!

[@jamescarr2156]

24:35 very easy plant to grow for sowing. very good starter for growing

[@greenthumb1658]

wonderful vodeo, wonderful man!

[@kilthsenarc]

I like to use moss I've collected when repotting my ferns and epiphittes, for moisture retention. Do you think that's wise?😊

[@joshholschuh1847]

I'd love to get some diacotoma cuttings . Any aloe cuttings. I'm super stoked with my speckled aloe that began rotting from the root and lost leaves cutting the bottom off, fought it for months trying not to lose it and one leaf rooted faster than the rest. It's pushing 4 pups now and I'm amazed by it. I've got a 20 year old euphorbia mammallaris variegata that I was gifted and it's just so rare to see things like this in the South East

[@ErnaMacog]

❤ wow i like all kinds of plants super pretty 🩷 beautiful gardens i love it 🩷 I'm watching from Philippines ❤

[@carlos.fraile]

best video ever

[@malo8631]

At 1:18:34 about the Cytocarpa edulis . I've heard that some trees tend to produce more seed when stressed. I guess it's a natural mechanism of plants to ensure survival of the species. Maybe the tree was already stressed out and slowly diminishing and was why it suddenly started producing all that seed. Could it be that the heat was just what pushed the plant over the edge from an already existing ailment? Im just a plant rookie and just sharing my thought. Great video.

[@solsonrigdon]

This video indicates that the nursery is in Tucson and specializes in plants for this area, but the website link shows the nursery is in New Mexico, what gives?

[@cefcat5733]

So, does he use a kitchen tongs with silicon tips to move those little prickly peeky🌵 plants?

[@stitISH]

hi, do they ship to Canada? thanks

[@zcoanmcoan1534]

YESSS OMGG!!!

[@phunk8607]

saw the tree at 31:05 and instantly recognised as an aussie native...

[@wimalperera5373]

❤

[@willy27aq]

there is something about your videos that hurt my eyes. I am not sure if its motion blur or camera shakiness, but whenever the camera moves around I get slight dizziness

[@NilmaMariaTeixeiradeMour-dn4cp]
