[@TheJungleHaven]

What have some of your favourite plants been to grow over the past year? 🤫🚚

[@JacobBeck-in2ef]

my florida ghost

[@macallan3933]

I became a plant person much more so this year, and I love my small monstera and my alocasias and I also have LOVED growing my moss in my moss garden!

[@julietalexander8512]

I built a greenhouse over summer and all of my hoya have just exploded with growth! I think my sarawak tripled in size from July to November 😊 I can't wait to see! 🤫

[@lucasmartens9669]

My alocasia cuprea!! She just gifted me with a corm that sprouted with a variegated leaf 🫢

[@suerussell2590]

My favourite plants are my philodendron glorious, alocasia jaclyn both are still tiny, oh and my alocasia dragons breath x

[@terabizzle]

Claire! just wanted to say that it brings me an unbelievable amount of joy and excitement to open up youtube and see a new Jungle Haven video. thank you for always gracing us with yourself and your lovely content

[@TheJungleHaven]

Aww thank you soooo much. That makes me so happy to hear! 🥰

[@giovannazofia6386]

Claire! We just bought our first home almost exactly a year ago and moved into a space that has so much more room for my plants and even a 360° window cupola that’s basically just planty heaven. I’m so happy for y’all and I can’t wait to see ❤

[@TheJungleHaven]

HUGE congratulations on your first home, and wowwww that space sounds INCREDIBLE!

[@lukeperry19]

The pot that pepperonis hope is in is stunning 😍

[@charpsnutriberry5745]

Found the Jungle Haven at the beginning of 2024 and by the end of the year I finally have watched every video. Thanks to Claire I now am immensely enjoying my Peperomia Hope, Epiphyllum Anguliger, and Aeschynanthus Longicaulis. I had to wait until September before I ordered them because I live in desert Arizona. I thought I’d have to wait until October but we had an unexpectedly cool week in the middle of September so I jumped at the opportunity to get them asap (from a grower in Washington state). The Aeschynanthus I decided to get as cuttings and did the plastic bag method that I learned from Claire and also the grower recommended in their videos. It has rooted and grown beautifully and is even blooming already. I also have a Peperomia Tetragona which I’ve had some issues with but having learned a lot from Claire I have been handling it pretty well so far, fingers crossed.

[@TheJungleHaven]

This is so sweet, thank you so much for your support! Yayyyy for the peperomia hope - it's great isn't it!?

[@TajmToCook]

24:26 mealybugged... sounds like IT rather than planty word 🤣

[@ahoward3503]

That chunk of your monstera dubia just hanging there in the background is so stinkin' funny

[@TheJungleHaven]

Ahahaha I know, it looks WEIRD

[@selinaselcuk6626]

Just came here to the comments to see if someone is mentioning this 😂 too funny

[@NorthbertR]

I have added 3 orchids this year to my collection. So the fact that they have grown and now started re-flowering is my highlight :-). Thank you for sharing the video.

[@emilyslabaugh4138]

Some of my hoyas have bloomed over this past year...which is a first for me! That has been so cool to experience 😄

[@TheJungleHaven]

Yayyy how exciting! Hoya blooms are the best!

[@irairod5160]

Claire, that orégano, in my country, Puerto Rico, also "comes" outer variegated with a lovely creamy-white border. We use it in stews and in pork marinades. Locally , it's known as "orégano brujo" or "witchy oregano".

[@TheJungleHaven]

I was actually kindly given a cutting of the variegated one at the London plant swap last year - it's so pretty!

[@irairod5160]

@@TheJungleHaven Yes! I think it's such a good-looking herb! We grow it both for its looks and its culinary uses.

[@Jo85anna]

🤫🛻 I think i know what's going to happen soon. Congratulations on more space. 😁

[@suerussell2590]

Ah im glad you are enjoying the perperomia hope it's gone to the best home ❤

[@TheJungleHaven]

I love it SOOOOO much, thank you Sue!

[@gingercaudill7219]

Claire, girl! Congratulations 🎉🎊🎈🍾 on the not 1 but 2 inflows of your pallidiflorum!! And what a bout of bizarre weather you had right! Thanks 🙏 for sharing your old school plants because they truly deserve the spotlight, for me, I started my own plant journey with the old school plants and I truly pay more attention to them hehe 😜 and I appreciate you sharing the substrate with each of your plants as it helps me to decide on what my own method might need Lots of love ❤️ Ginger

[@NovaRenatus]

You turned me into a Hoya person. I kind of was a "Hoya Hater." I just picked up my first two (mathilde, publicalyx) 😊

[@TheJungleHaven]

Genuinely, they're such an addictive genus! I wasn't a Hoya person and resisted the bug for years before I finally caved

[@julietalexander8512]

Please do the pepperomia hope video!! I absolutely love mine and have lost a stem to crown rot 😢 I started mostly bottom watering since then

[@TheJungleHaven]

It's on my list!!

[@pudik2008]

Pallidaflorum is insanely gorgeous!! Yours is the most beautiful one I’ve ever seen on KZbin 💚💚💚🌿✅🌱🪴

[@TheJungleHaven]

Oh thank you! That makes me feel like a proud mum

[@meganlong9251]

Maranta have been mine!!! I just started growing them this year and I want other prayer plants now 😊

[@TheJungleHaven]

Ahh they're GREAT plants!

[@jordanali9386]

Omg you’re moving…. That’s all I can think it would be… the clue being that the Jacklyn would be the first plant you take if you moved.. congratulations and enjoying your videos as always.. can’t wait to see the next chapter. 🎉Woop

[@TheJungleHaven]

Something's happening, that's for sure...

[@HollyAZ]

Hello Claire. I have kind of gotten away from planty videos, but when I saw this on my feed, I thought I'd check it out. I do enjoy your enthusiasm for your plants, and rightly so. They are beautiful. Is there anything more exciting than seeing a new leaf beginning? I love that. Happy New Year to you.

[@emmarantaceae]

My Peperomia hope has done absolutely nothing the entire time I've had it... I had to hold mine up to the screen and tell it to "look at Claire's/Sue's! You could look like that!!"

[@TheJungleHaven]

They need MUCH higher light than lots of other peperomias in my experience. Their growth can also get quite small if you don't water them correctly. They're easy in some ways, but can be a struggle to get your head around initially

[@jolielagger2501]

🤫🚚 OMG YESSSSS!!! I was watching one of Emma’s videos and she mentioned she had a friend moving and I was like 👀

[@TheJungleHaven]

I wonder who that is...

[@Serepin]

How exciting! Jacklyn has vacated the building 🤫🚚

[@BiracialBeauty620]

All of the seeds that those Begonia flowers have is insane! It's beautiful btw.

[@alexagray8089]

Sounds like a day in Florida…without the snowing of course 😂

[@sallyfisher7389]

I am so glad you put the peperomia hope on this list. I was starting to think it wasn't your favourite any more

[@stephanieryder9251]

🤫🚚! I’ve been loving my alocasias this year: regal shield, pink princess, black velvet, sarian and scalprum. Rescued an anthurium veitchii that I’m excited to watch.

[@Alocasiaaddict65]

Ooh the clues lol, new plant shelves, taking your fav alocasia jacklyn down stairs.....my guess is you're all moving to a new bigger property ???

[@TheJungleHaven]

Who knows...

[@Alocasiaaddict65]

@@TheJungleHaven so exciting lol

[@KingaBetancourtcanas]

I am buying philodendrons as I think they are good starter plants. With 70 plants I still do not feel comfortable to try alocasia. By mistake I bought philodendron melanohrysum lol😂 hope it will survive winter. I watched your video few times so maybe I learn enough to keep it alive .

[@TheJungleHaven]

Philodendrons can be great starter plants, but I guarantee you'd get on well with alocasia if you're keeping 70 alive already. Semi-hydro is the trick!

[@rasaohmann9742]

I have a feeling that is going to be lots of exiting videos from you this year! 🤫🚛

[@crigss]

Hi Claire! Your house is my inspiration and thank you for share all this. I´ll go to make my own favorite plant tour and send it here

[@TheJungleHaven]

This is so sweet, thank you!

[@Tinwelende]

Moving house! 🤩🤩🤩 You HAVE to make a video about the move itself and a tour of the new flat or house - not just plant-related. 🤩

[@WilliamLipski]

My H Caudata Sumatra bloomed in June and hasn't stopped since, and my philodendron Gigas is doing quite well. Those are my two favs of 2024.✌

[@TheJungleHaven]

Oh gorgeous!! I'm so excited for my Caudata Sumatra to bloom!

[@Marj-x7w]

Love your begonia sinbad!

[@MagpieRat]

Since you're enjoying your Mexican Mint, have you ever tried Satureja douglasii "Indian Mint/Yerba Buena"? It's one of my favourites, but I don't see a lot of other people growing it as a houseplant. It grows like a weed, trails, is covered in cute tiny white flowers for most of the year and smells gorgeous every time you bump into it! I don't know how to cook with it, but it does make a lovely tea.

[@TheJungleHaven]

Oh wow it sounds gorgeous. No, I've never heard of it, but have made a note of it! Thank you

[@juleslinee]

Thanks

[@TheJungleHaven]

Oh this is so kind of you, thank you!!

[@sandy_carpetsthesecond5013]

My favourites from this year in my collection have been: Adiantum Tenerum, because it grows so big so quickly, it matures so fast when you have it in the right environment. Crassula Orbicularis Rosalis, the colours so beautiful, it's a winter flowering plant and the flowers smell gorgeous, and it just drapes so elegantly over the pot I have it in. Yucca Elephantipes, Idk, I just like it. Tradescantia Nanouk, tradescantias do well for me in general, but the Nanouk just gets so beefy.

[@ConnorAdventure]

I loooooove your jumper 😍💚

[@TheJungleHaven]

Thank you! Ross always says it looks like a Christmas jumper, but I love it!

[@PhilipAbby]

Ohhhh. U must be moving!! Can't wait to see!

[@TheJungleHaven]

Something's going on, that's for sure...

[@frickfrack7075]

I also have a begonia sinbad and they're just very thirsty plants!! I also have to water mine ever other day, sometimes every day. She just cannot get enough!

[@ajt123]

Scindapsus argyraeus and Rattlesnake calathea have been my favorites!

[@lookathergrow]

Yes to a peperomia hope video!! I’m unsure why my leaves become curled 😅

[@Plantthingswithme]

My philo tortum and anth wendlingeri have been my favorite.🙂

[@laurieramkeesoon]

Hi I “listen” to my plants as well. My favourite plant of 2024 is Stomanthia Tri Colour ❤Canada 🇨🇦

[@Autumn-pw2xz]

I love your videos! I want to try putting my alocasia in pon, but getting it in the US feels impossible! Your plants look great!

[@lacieplants]

🤫🚚 ooooh this is exciting!!!

[@mandymanning4478]

Hello Claire!! I've come to love the peperomia hope, but I'm just not doing well with it, so I'd love a care video on it!!

[@TheJungleHaven]

I've made a note to cover this one soon!

[@magdolnawx]

Oh that begonia simbad I would like to buy a cutting 😊

[@eja5799]

i'm inspired to try growing a tandurusa!

[@feliciaakalisalisa2820]

3:32 I so want one of these 🌱🌱💚

Your plants r just gorgeous. 🪴 🌱 🌿 🌾 🌵 🏵 🪴 🌱

[@TheJungleHaven]

Thank you!

[@northofnowhere3611]

I would love an in depth video on peperomia hope! Mine is doing okay, but not great. No real growth in months, and it’s quite pale.

[@macallan3933]

Where do you buy your plants when shopping online or if you have a video on that what is it called?

[@selvatica979]

Clare mentioned in prior videos, that she buys a lot of plants on Etsy.

[@TheJungleHaven]

Loads of places - Etsy is my #1 for cuttings and seeds. Local garden centres and plant shops. Online there are TONS of places I love - Grow Tropicals, Eastern Tropicals, Crocus, recently had a great experience with Downtown Plant Club

[@regi985]

I think I have my thrips outbreak under control finally and really hope I get some plants to stop struggling now. my jackelyn looks so bad and seeing yours makes me really want to get it growing. also mu nebula suddenly started struggling and it´s one of my favorite alocatias :( 🤫🚚

[@vanitygirl6989]

Uh, I couldn’t stop starring at you very beautiful Euphorbia when you showed off your Peperomia Hope in the bedroom :) Could we see your Euphorbia collection?

[@TheJungleHaven]

Yes I should totally make a Euphorbia tour! They're such underrated plants

[@verrettjared]

I was debating the same thing with my alocasia cuprea and whether I should cut the inflorescence off... and it has been producing two at a time I have cut two sets of and it may be on a third pair. Yeah I think a year and a half or 9 months is a super long time to be waiting especially if you would like to see your plant size up

[@verrettjared]

Lol I could see that your dragon's breath was gutating, lol

[@julietalexander8512]

Feel free to send some pallidiflorum berries to Texas!! ❤

[@emilyslabaugh4138]

Question for you! I just started using beneficial insects to help my collection. Is it still okay to hose the plant down/shower it? I am not sure if that would harm the beneficial insects as well as the unwanted ones? Any tips would be great! Thank you! Love your content! 💜

[@TheJungleHaven]

So sadly when you wipe/hose down a plant you will likely lose the beneficial insects too. I usually wait until most of them have naturally dies back and then shower everything down before introducing the next lot

[@emilyslabaugh4138]

Thank you for the advice! ​@@TheJungleHaven

[@joyabuchanan]

My Hoya Krimson Princess and Hoya Wayetti...just wish my Princess would bloom for me. 🤫

[@camyxx991]

Please make a peperomia hope video! 🪴 I've had mine for six months, and the leaves are small, wrinkly and the plant doesn't grow much, even in a south-east facing window

[@TajmToCook]

09:10 I would just cut off a third of the roots or so and pot her back to the same vase 😊

[@islein]

My jacklyn also does this🤫🚚

[@puttymail]

you are moving!!!

[@TheJungleHaven]

There's definitely something happening...

[@cannuck3577]

Could u self the pallidiflorum with its own pollen?

[@richardlawton1023]

You need to try some scented geraniums....

[@annemariekoppelaar-passiev5771]

Make it 9 months for the Coleus 😅 I sent it before Malvern

[@TheJungleHaven]

You're kidding!? WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE????? I'm so happy with how well it's growing

[@michelledemers7465]

Moving….😉

[@TheJungleHaven]

Who knows...

[@Sherri-t3x]

Is the begonia sinbad called anything else? I can’t find one anywhere.

[@ajt123]

🤫🚛🏠 congrats! 😉

[@lisamac8503]

Have decided not to watch plant videos this year except yours (staying away from social media as much as I can) (: I found too many are just becoming repetitive and giving poor advice I enjoy your chatty videos and that you do not "tell" others what to do but show what works for you We all have very different environments even if we all have the same plants Also there is great joy in old favorite plants I m really not into($$$$) variegation Seems everyone is going a bit wacky with it and many times it reverts back anyway ! As far as favorite I love growing all my plants including my orchids Watching my seedling orchids flower has been very exciting! Love your content (:
