Summer, you're a really really fantastic interviewer. It really helps that you're very knowledgeable and asked intriguing questions that I really want to know the answers to. It's an eye opener for me. I've grown tillies for a decade now and finally get to see a proper interview of Mr. Eric Gouda. Thank you again for the efforts!

[@emilianochaim5442]

[@boogiedaniels]

Just awesome as usual,,,,Love the smile on your guests face when he tells a story about when he found something and where he found it...

[@ShyDog827]

Such a wealth of information on these fascinating plants . I bought my first few tillandsias a couple of years ago , left them alone on the patio nestled in other plants ; they have taken care of themselves all this time. I was so impressed with them that I’ve given them their own place to be appreciated , and bought two more ( T. Ionantha brac & T. Harrisii ) after watching part 1. I definitely will be seeking out more of these.

[@DahliaLegacy]

I love this guy, he seems so nice. I feel I could talk to him for days and never get bored.

[@judithwmoore]

This was fascinating! Strange to say, but plants seem so much more alive now! They are far more complex in their behavior than I ever imagined!

[@trt2127]

Wow such wealth of knowledge. Absolutely awe inspiring to keep looking for more varieties of Tillandsia’s to grow at home. Thank you both.

[@cjtank2001]

Nice tour.........Botanists are humble because they know whatever the diversity they study and learn is just a fraction of the diversity they don't know......

[@sorayaducharme5017]

Very beautiful, while I was watching this video I could not stop thinking about my Mom, I'm from Honduras, and my Mon trees in Honduras have a lot air plants, they are beautiful😍😍😍

[@WestSide-hl1dl]

I love going back through your older videos, because I always learn something new that I didn’t catch when originally published. Congrats on 100k subscribers - well deserved.

[@mikeycityify]

This is my favorite episode.

[@bobbiechinn9578]

Now that was a very cute interaction! 😏😏😏 love it!

[@PleasantPrickles]

Interesting variety of conditions they adapt to! Very educational! 🌱

[@bazinga7422]

thanks for this really informative video about tillandsias

[@petercardona1559]

Yay got my Plant One On Me in! My morning tea was just kinda off without it. Another great episode & all is well now! 🌿😊👍

[@greeneyesNink]

You are such a inspiration to me, everything you do speaks volumes and your passions shows through in everything you do. I wish you well in every dream you want to follow and every action you take, may you be blessed in life. I pray one day I’ll be able to shake your hand and tell you all of these things in person. Until then, I am a admirer and supporter from afar (Texas). ❤️

[@URDesign1]

So much knowledge, thanks for such educational videos. I’m in love with Tillandsias

[@andreabarros44]

And this all is in my garden?? In Holland!? I must visit🍃🌱🌵😍

[@sirtessa]

Thank you so much for these videos. That is an AMAZING collection, so glad you shared it with us.

[@azdesertrunner56]

This was a great video Summer. Part 1 and this part 2 have been my favorite videos yet. I love all your videos, but this is my favorite plant. I thank you so much for sharing these 2. I will be coming back to watch these a few more times.

[@christmassnow3465]

I didn't know that few Tillandsias live along with ants. Ants may be beneficial for other plants. Even succulents which I once had exhibited better growth when ants established their home on the underside of the pot (through the drainage hole). They aerated the soil and brought in nutrients. However, one should be careful not to allow too much soil to drain through the hole and leave the roots exposed. I grew Tillandsias many years ago, and back then they seemed to live their lives in slow motion, hardly growing if at all, and responding very slowly to cultivation. The narrow and thin leaves underneath the silvery trichomes often made it difficult to spot a dead plant. However, this video and its previous episode are shedding some light on how to grow them. There are two Tillandsias which I currently have and hopefully will get better results this time.

[@edwardlittlefield447]

Absolutely fantastic show! I enjoyed that alot. Great information and insight into the tillandsia realm!

[@soniacamargo2224]

amaziiing ! I've seen many air plants in dry forest in my country and never put attention on the beauty of them, from now on, ill be very careful and conservative, thank you! . I just can't stop watching your videos!!!

[@barbll000]

There's always something new to learn :) Great video.

[@grahamclark3338]

Best Video on Tillandsia that I have ever seen. More please

[@grannygarden5887]

This is an awesome video , i only am two month parent too about 30 air plants and i learned so much thank you!!!

[@kathygilbreath6073]

Loving these. Thanks for sharing :))))

[@alessandropinto5204]

5:10 Was about to comment that T. bryoides was strikingly similar to T. tricholepis which we have by the bucketloads here in southeastern Brazil.

[@Mikkeronza]

I love these tillandsia videos

[@iamyourmajesty5449]

Love this

[@luzprescilpabilona113]

Awesome 😍😍😍

[@Fraukuckucksuhr]

very interesting, great content! learnt a lot!

[@annemiekewielinga7203]

I just found your channel and you come visit my favourite botanical garden! I studied in Utrecht and spent lots of time there

[@trassl3celick304]

You deserve way more subscribers your content is great

[@EliezaBaby]

Can you do long episodes interview and tour of rainforestflora.com in California of Mr. TILLANDSIA Paul Isley Airplants Nursery ? Thanks and Hello 👋 from Toronto Canada 🥳

[@Korina42]

Great interview, thank you. Speaking of which, I should take my little Tillis out of the water.

[@SHARONSHORTOrchidsandGarden]

Hey Summer, I've heightened my interest in a more exotic Tillandsia. If you have a list of vendors who sell different air plants, really would appreciate it..Happy growing..

[@tb564]

I have ordered from CTS airplants twice. Both times they arrived well packaged and the plants met or exceeded my expectations.

[@Thumtwiddler]

Holland, the only place you can find people taller than Summer.

[@urface151]

I wish air plants were more common here I can only find them in a Lowe’s a town over and it’s only tillandsia ionantha and bulbosa so not very many varieties

[@Mikkeronza]

You could probably order some online

[@dimipimenta8554]

Very nice

[@sherylhuffman9200]

urface151 I just received a group of five different kind's of air plants that I had ordered on Amazon.com

[@meep2576]

Ahhh, their good mother’s do you mist them once a day in summer so it will remind them of home

[@d3r4g45]

♥️

[@mackintosh7683]

Help! I just noticed I have spider mites all over my plants... they are indoors, I've tried spraying with alcohol/water mixture but it killed the leafs of the plant I tested it on... I'm at a loss, I don't know if I can try anything harsh because my cat likes to nibble on my plants when I'm not looking...

[@banabodambanabobest4951]

👍👍👏👏

[@AM-pb3iv]

How possible to show such plants in the wild?

[@christiaanvanwijk3161]

Wgat is the name of the huge tillandsia with the grasspups at timestamp 25:30 ?

[@lambchops808]

Whats the name of the plant they're talking about at 25:10? I don't think they mentioned the species

[@marilou.maquirang]

While the gardener describe the plant, I think it better to focus the camera on the plant, anyway we hear them but it's better to what are they talking about. Thank you

[@nicolamarini]

Strange but true.. I think I know both of you ... I bouth my first Tillandsia and google a little... what a strange situation... finding one grown up girl and a little boy. This story let me far and away in time. My grandad know a man with a big terrarium and another with a new home... a row of homes that had to be rebuilded... or sort of. I will follow you ... on youtube. Hoping to meet you in the future. If there are a way to contact you and share what I remember please tell me.
