A Planty Year In Review 🌱 WHERE ARE THEY NOW? Best Houseplants This Year Reaction

[@SeanMoore2008]

What is "plant poaching" ?

[@TheJungleHaven]

It's when plants (often those considered "rare" or endangered) are removed without permission from their natural habitat and illegally sold on, often to people overseas. It's such a terrible issue and means that so many gorgeous plants no longer exist in their natural environment, hence why it's super important to buy from reputable sellers, always be wary of people who approach you, and why it's always fine to ask sellers questions and provide paperwork about the origins of the plant 💚

[@SeanMoore2008]

@TheJungleHaven ohhhhh thank you, here's me thinking it might be a new name for what I used to do with a pair of snips to my Nans plants when she wasn't looking.

That would be plant rustling.

[@custodiansrock]

I like these retrospectives to see how plants have progressed. Got my first yellow Bird of Paradise this summer and its doing very well. It's funny how attached we get to our plants. Happy New Year plant parents!

[@loledas2243]

Thank you ,right back to you!

[@AmaSharapova]

Your channel has become a home for me. I felt in love with the plants only two months ago and I have learned so much from you. I enjoy your company and all the content. Thank you for all your work and may the next year be awesome for you and your plants!

[@TheJungleHaven]

That's so lovely, thank you so so much 💚

[@theresasteiner2748]

My wish for your New Year is that you will understand how wonderful your videos are. You're informative and entertaining. I feel like I'm having coffee with a friend. Just 2 years ago I was pressured to get a plant during lock down. I have about125 now and I love them all. They saved me and so did you!!!!

[@TheJungleHaven]

That's so incredibly sweet of you, thank you so much 💚💚💚💚

[@8bitcarni410]

I'm proud to say that compared to 2021, the majority if not all of my plants this year were from Etsy, small independent plant shops and sellers or Ebay along with plant trades. The only two that I got from a bigger garden centre were on clearance and needed major rehab but are doing much better now. I've noticed I'm a lot more conscious of the plant choices I make and don't just go for a plant because I want it there and then, I'm more aware of how that plant needs to fit into my space and I'm okay with that. Also, congrats on the move and the new house!

[@juliazakolska4141]

Your dubia is *definitely* the most beautiful one I've ever seen! You've got every right to be the proudest plant parent, before seeing yours I didn't even know those fenestrate 😲

[@deegrows7589]

Thanks for sharing your planty updates. 🙂

[@jopem100]

Hi Claire, another great video. Just love ur new home. Ur laughing at that moss pole I watched ur video of how to make them & made 1 too. It’s been bone dry after the 1st week 😂

[@TheJungleHaven]

Hahaha whooooops sorry! Live and you learn 😂💚

[@cozyjackie]

I'm currently OBSESSED with my queen Anthurium too! I bought her for $40usd a month or two ago as a bottom cut with one tiny leaf, but I could tell from the thickness of the stem that it was a pretty mature plant before it was cut. Its third leaf just hardened off and it's a foot long 😭 I AM IN LOVE

[@ChristyD97]

I love theses videos. I'd love to see a plant chores video of you watering all your hanging plants. I still can't imagine how you do that. Happy 2023!!

[@TheJungleHaven]

Haha it does take a while, but when I've got time to do it I love it 💚

[@HollyAZ]

Your BOP is flawless! I love it too. I am drawn to plants with really big leaves but many of my favorites have small leaves like philodendron brasil, peperomia incana and rhaphidophora tetrasperma. I'm not into "rare" plants, just what catches my eye.

[@carolstuff]

Thanks for sharing! Happy New Year!

[@vicky3792]

I’m like you I love some of my $4 plants almost as much as my costly ones. Aralia balfouriana variegata, Philodendron ring of fire, Monstera Thai Constellation, and some cuttings I’m loving, Philodendron strawberry shake, Philodendron painted lady, Philodendron Tortum and Philodendron verrucosum. Hoping they do well. Have a great year.

[@sylviagutierrez7676]

A great update of your beautiful plants,have a happy new year and will see you on 2023 👍 💚🌱🌵☘️💚

HNY! 💚

[@kangtani_indonesia]

very nice and beautiful ornamental plants, thank you for sharing information about ornamental plants

[@dendee1148]

Something different I did enjoy watching before and after...Also sad for you to lose such beautiful plants but I guess we all do I wish they all did well but for me it seems like the plants that are said to be easy I lose and the hard ones do well for me ....not sure why...great video...Happy New Year

[@amymarshall1829]

I definitely go through phases with plants. I got my first houseplant when I was 7 years old, so it's been a few years. haha About 20 years ago, I had almost 300 African violets (plants, props, etc.), streptocarpus, and other gesneriads. As life got busier with two children, pets, etc., I lost interest and neglected them. For several years, I had mostly Thanksgiving cacti and phalaenopsis orchids. Then I started adding succulents, and for the last year I've been diversifying more. I try to stick to easier care plants and remind myself to not get too carried away. When the care needs become too overwhelming, it's not fun anymore and both the plants and I suffer for it. I also try to remind myself of exactly what you said: today's rare plants are tomorrow's common ones. So, someday I'll have hoya heuschkeliana variegata, but not today. :) Happy New Year, Claire! I enjoy watching your planty journey.

[@worldgonemad1977]

Hi Claire, what a fun look-back. Can you tell me where you bought your plastic backed moss pole?

[@dottierapp2198]

I’m new to plants and your channel. You’re videos are so helpful and appreciated. You’re adorable and a joy to watch and learn from…don’t be so hard on yourself 😊

[@TheJungleHaven]

Thank you so much 💚

[@syaifulsagala2889]

notice a syngonium white butterfly on your shirt, my favorite 👍

[@ChristyD97]

Verigated monsteras here on the west coast of America are still extremely expensive. I ordered one, but it died in transit. I'm still waiting for my first. I'm jealous of yours. Great job. 👍

[@juliefoster8100]

I agree yours is the nicest Dubai I have ever seen.

[@marygorchidsmore2058]

Hi Claire, great update! Sorry about your vitchii, that one is on my wishlist too! You mentioned plant swap, can you let me know the time and place please?

[@franciaconsidine3943]

NO SKIPPING ADS ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@AsiyaAsiyaAsiya]

Oh exciting to see a bird of paradise! Mine has been with me for over a year now and it was the first plant I got after moving to Sweden. I recently put in under a stronger grow light and weirdly it pushed out a normal size leaf with a very short stem! It looks really crazy. Is it because it doesn't need to reach out for light anymore? Bizarrio! Loving your vids!

[@carolgraham7691]

My new leaf has very short stem, too, with leaf that is about three times as big as prior leaves 🍃..I have been wondering 🤔 as well

[@AsiyaAsiyaAsiya]

@@carolgraham7691 My theory is that it needs a grow light higher up above it? To have a reason to stretchhhhh upwards... Maybe I am wrong tho!

[@jerryghoujalou5150]

I’m watching your show Edmeyer me again to do plants because I’m passed for some reason doesn’t matter which one I touch I just kill it but I’m hoping by looking at your show of the weather this time thank you for a good work

[@ChristyD97]

Many of my philos have spathes, but I've never seen any open and flower. I read that they will open at night when mature, but again, I've never seen them open.

[@nic8625]

This made me revisit an old plant wishlist. I cannot believe how many less common plants I listed and have acquired!! I listed Scindapsus trebuii Sumatra and Hoya broget. I have a massive sumatra and just ordered a polyneura broget yesterday 🎉

[@TheJungleHaven]

Ooooh how exciting! 💚

[@ashlinalley9615]

My favorites this year have been my peperomia hope, variegated string of hearts, Hawaiian spider plant that I grew from a cutting off Etsy, and my Alocasia black velvet corm(it finally has a leaf!).

[@thejadedragon5535]

Have you and Ross done a ranking video yet?? With the teers and pictures??

[@marionschwitzner8013]

I hope to grow some more plants on a moss pole. Some are now hanging like my brasil. Also like to let it climb. Also i hope that my clarinurvium starts growing. Bought it with 4 leaves and it's my first anthurium. Thanks for your video"s, i love them all!!

[@fogfern6184]

I’m the same with Mamei, I am about to chop mine up for the third time because spider mites 🙄 I think I’m done. I have some nicer plants like Philo Domesticum variegated, Philo bipennifolium varigated, M. Adansonii Indo Marble…but I kind of think my favourite plants are Epipremnum Cebu blue, Pinnatum Albo, Micans, my Hoya Bella, obovata, Queen, and Royal Hawaiian purple, and some basic scindapsus (exotica, silver lady, silver cloud). It’s my basics, my true blues that have become my faves! Wish I could have saved myself the headaches and the money on the more rare plants I’ve had and lost 😂

[@stephaniebuzzella1]

I wish it were easier to send plants from the US! I have all of your wishlist plants and wish I could send you some babies!

[@natashaoreilly7072]

My favorite plants- my anthurium seedlings, my amydriums, my sunstressed Hoyas and my scindapsus 🥰

[@natashaoreilly7072]

Your magnificum is 👀👀👀

[@colincruickshanks7578]

GOOD TASTE v VULGAR I like your KZbin channel, your goodself of course and all of your plants. Although I'm not keen on variegated Monstera at all.. particularly on M. deliciosa because the oftentimes instability and inconsistency and range of different shapes of the markings all together at once on the same plant. This ill at ease look of just too much differences going on all at once gives the plant a character of discombulation which detracts from the handsome boldness and interest of, what ought to be, solid deep green fenestrated leaves. However, I find myself rather liking your M. deliciosa with it's more subtle and tasteful variegations and happy that you appreciate it's beauty. Definitely a subject where less is more.

[@jaydog7840]

Your adorable. I believe Everyone finds it somewhat awkward to hear themselves played back. Great content as usual❗️

[@ronjakh]

If you find your white princess is struggling you really should cut the flowers. It’s using so much energy producing the flowers that regular growth is interrupted. One flower is hard enough on the plant, but that many really takes a toll.

[@francisgerry3883]

I'm and old house plant grower in the North West USA, im nw at watching your interesting videos , can you tell what formula of fertilizer do you use , your plants look healthy.

[@TheJungleHaven]

Thank you! I use Liquid Gold Leaf (linked in the description box) 💚

[@loolooleon6717]

You’ve come such a long way! I’m a new ish watcher but I’ve been obsessed with plants for 5-6 years now and I think my favourite plant at the moment is Calathea goeppertia warscewiczii this year I got a little obsessed with all calatheas. But I do have to ask there is a plant I’m in love with that you have that’s under your tv it’s the dark green leaf with a philodendron kinda shape what is it?

[@renatecormick7399]

Oh Claire! looking at your string of pearls makes mine look absolutely pathetic. I had it hanging out in a tree (sub tropical climate)and it wasn’t being watered as it should have been, so I brought it back under the patio but it’s going to take YEARS to get to the fullness of yours. I think I’d be better off buying a new one to grow indoors.
