I love my Ferox Begonia!!!

[@Houseplantygoodness]

Yay for Ferox Begonia! They're so striking! 🌿

[@agneslazarenko2653]

When I sometimes look up at my plants I'm struck by how unusual they are, even the commonest tropical plants are so cool, with the fenestrations, stripes, dots, visible veining, unexpected shapes and colours, etc. Plants are so cool❤

[@Houseplantygoodness]

So true, Agnes! 🌱 Every plant has its own cool universe!

[@gypsylee333]

I recently got a jewel orchid, the lighting bolt looking one, and I've been loving it! I put it in a lil terrarium bubble and hung it from the curtain rod by my bed. The first new leaf is almost unfurled, so I think it's happy!

[@Houseplantygoodness]

Awwww I used to have one of those too, they are awesome!!!, cannot believe I forgot to include that in the list 😲🤦‍♂️! 🌟 Love how you've set it up!

[@gypsylee333]

[@jens_ten6055]

All are so stunning!!! And I just have to say I think you have the BEST INTRO AND OUTRO ONE KZbin ❤. I am so happy to have come across your channel!!

[@Houseplantygoodness]

🎉 Thanks, Jens! Your support lights up my day! 💖

That yellow text really popped! You look like you're feeling much better than last time we met...! Cheers from Iowa.

[@Houseplantygoodness]

Feeling much better, thanks 😁! glad the yellow text popped, it was a bit much but it contrasted with the green behind so hopefully a bit more legible! 🌟

[@gaddaitherage8204]

Such a cool list Memo! For your colocasia, did you grow it outside or indoors? I got a bunch of plantlets of the black coral and it doesn’t size up much indoors. I tried giving I it more humidity, water (semi hydro), grow lights, etc, but it never works. I finally got rid of it because it usually has 3-4 leaves at a time, sacrificing the oldest leaf, so it will perpetually have a shriveled up leaf on its way out at all time. And on black it really shows. Does that happen when they get more matured?

[@Houseplantygoodness]

I kept mine indoors with similar issues but when I summered it outdoors, it exploded in growth even here in the UK, but still experimenting! 🌿🤔

[@sherryporsch9349]

Yes your right, rhizome begonias are Rex begonias, then there Kane/cane an then tuberous. I recently started collecting Elaphoglossiums I think they’re so cool. You should check them out 💚

[@Houseplantygoodness]

Elaphoglossiums sound intriguing, Sherry! 🌱 I'll definitely look into them.

[@Suoubi]

Love the list! For me personally I would add alocasie Cuprea. It's super easy going (for me) and the leaves remind me of the movie Alien. 😂

[@Houseplantygoodness]

Alocasia Cuprea is truly alien-like! 😂 Love it, Suoubi!

[@Carey.S75]

Foliage freaks r us 😅 The diversity of foliage is what keeps me interested, and there's some real stunners and weirdos out there. For me, its not just about patterns, it's also about shapes, textures and overall standoutability. I 💚💚💚 your vittarifolium. I've just got myself 3 little seedlings and can't wait to see thoee belts grow long. Weirdly enough, with all the Alocasias that I have collected, I haven't added the micholitziana or frydek to my collection yet 🤔 I need to go do something about that.....after I make some room 😬 You know I always enjoy your videos, so keep up the good work, Memo 🪴💚

[@clearwaterbeachhomesearchm5957]

I’ve always grown Ming Aralia. Beautiful plant. And so is curly spider plant

[@Houseplantygoodness]

Ming Aralia & curly spider plant are classics! 🌿👌 I have been looking for a Ming Aralia for years, I finally found them on sale and I have no space for it 😭😭😭😭😭

[@silviap4478]

Wonderful video, as always. ❤ I love watching videos about not your typical aroid, but other interesting plants. I love the Cotyledon tomentosa so much, the leaves are super soft and look like fluffy bear paws. There are so many succulents with cool shapes and colours. Also when one only has a small space: the Pilea Moon Valley. It looks as if it came out of a jungle. I think I commented too late on your last video about repotting, so I wanted to touch in that briefly: you mentioned about ripping the coco chip blocks and if anybody else experienced this and has trouble. I soak them in water for an hour or so. Once they are a bit wet, you can easily break them into pieces. My blocks are about the size of a brick, so one hour is definitely enough. I then let them dry again and pack them for later use. Hope this helps for future repotting 😊

[@silent_builder]

Hello, I know you showed your pellionia pulchra in the secret houseplants video lately. I'd like to ask if you also have a pellionia repens/trailing watermelon begonia which I believe is more robust compared to pulchra. Its juvenile leaves are almost black then transition to silvery green with green outlines. That could be a candidate for a gothic plant showcase with black-ish foliage plants 😊

[@Houseplantygoodness]

Great idea! 🖤 I don't have one yet, but it's on my list now!

[@PlasBachGarden]

More great plants to add to my wish list! Do you have Begonia marmaduke in your collection. It’s one of my absolute favourite foliage plants. Lime green leaves with red patches - gorgeous! If you want to see mine, there’s a video on begonias on my channel. However, word of warning, it was the second video I posted when I was new to KZbin so the editing is a bit rough and I talk like a robot! So if you do watch, please check out a more recent video as well so you know they do get better! 😊

[@Houseplantygoodness]

Wow, your Begonia sounds amazing! 🌿😍 Will check it out!

[@carolstuff]

Love your list; I’d also add the other pendent anthuriums. Thanks for sharing Memo!

[@Houseplantygoodness]

Thanks, Carol! Those pendent anthuriums are stunning! 🌿

[@erikabredahl5326]

Orange really suits your complexion !

[@Houseplantygoodness]

Orange you kind! (sorry for horrible pun but I had to 🤦‍♂️😅😂)🧡 Thanks, Erika!

[@meredithdavis5167]

Love your list! I have a Vittarifolium and just adore it! I'm really digging on my Anthurium Croatii with its reptilian texture and jungle vibe. I'm also obsessing over my Florida Ghost - it just gave me a white leaf and another is starting to unfurl. I gave it a dedicated 15W Sansi clip light and that is why she's giving me such gorgeous foliage. Glad you seen to be feeling better! I love your content. Thank you!

[@Houseplantygoodness]

That sounds like a plant paradise, Meredith! 🌱💚 Enjoy those beauties! Thanks I am feeling much better at the moment 🙏

[@tanya.quintieri]

I would have added Pipers, though I’ve managed to lose all of mine. And for sure blue Papis (Anthurium). But great list!

[@Houseplantygoodness]

Of course! I can't believe I forgot my pipers! I seem to have somehow cracked it with all 3 of mine, they seem to be relatively happy. Ah, those blues Papis! 🌱 Thanks for sharing your picks, Tanya!

[@somanyveggies]

I love your channel.

[@Houseplantygoodness]

Thanks a bunch! 🌱 Your username is a vibe!

[@suzannevainner2845]

I thought we'd see your colocasia pharaoh's mask in this list!

[@Houseplantygoodness]

Pharaoh's Mask is a gem, Suzanne! Mine is still quite small at the moment, but maybe the next list? 😁

Beautiful Begonia Thank you for Sharing lovely video

[@Houseplantygoodness]

Thanks, Jillian! Glad you loved the Begonia! 🌿

[@lindaedwards4632]

Love this unusual foliage video 😀🇨🇦

[@Houseplantygoodness]

Thanks, Linda! So glad you enjoyed it! 💚🌿

[@SparkleInMoonlight]

Hi Memo, I agree 100 % with your selection. I very much enjoyed the video. It´s very useful that you also mention how easy/difficult the care for each plant is - helps with editing my wishlist :-) I find D. Reflector particularly stunning - sad I don´t have the space for it now. It could have maybe part II as there are so many cool foliage plants :-) I´d add: Begonia fulgarata (newly discovered), Begonia rex Fireworks, Begonia rex Rainbow Falls (grows like a weed - even I failed to kill it so far :-D ), Begonia brevirimosa, the bloody Calathea White Fusion, my beloved Alocasia baginda Silver Dragon and Stromanthe Triostar, and many many more :-) The „normal“ people visiting us always go after our Tradescantia Nanouk.

[@luk6085]

A few really cool plants that I can think of off the top of my head are: 🌷✨ 1. Anthurium Luxurians / Anthurium Lapoanum (just in general corrugated anthuriums) 2.Anthurium Pallidiflorum (corkscrew flower and gorgeous plant) 3. Anthurium Veitchii narrow form 4. Philodendron joepii 5. Philodendron Corsinianum 5. Crasula unbella 6. Hoya Leucantha 7. Hoya lauterbachii 8. Bulbophyllum medusae 9. Microsorum thailandicum 10. Alocasia Scalprum

[@Houseplantygoodness]

Such a fantastic list, Luk! 🌱✨ Thanks for sharing! I have been looking for a Bulbophyllum medusae for years, they look sooo awesome 👀👀👀😲😲😲😲💚

[@meredithdavis5167]

May I ask if you've had trouble acclimating your corrugated Anthurium? Or how you go about it? Thanks so much!

[@RandomKusa]

All carnivorous foliage were SS tier.

[@Houseplantygoodness]

SS tier indeed! Carnivorous plants steal the show! 🌟

[@jodybogar8605]

Are colocasia easy to grow indoors? I just bought a C mojito and I’m excited to see it get big!

[@Houseplantygoodness]

Exciting times, Jody! 🎉 Colocasia can be a challenge indoors due to their light needs (I find them super needy for light, indoors) and they can get quite big if happy indoors, but worth it!

[@jodybogar8605]

[@Dwynfal]

Great list Memo! These are all really lovely and interesting! I'm a weird foliage girl, so these are right up my alley. I've been keeping my eyes open for Dieffenbacchia Reflector and Begonia melanobullata (or the ferrox, I'll have either!) but unfortunately they are hard to find for me. Fingers crossed! Love the Cissus discolor but I couldn't keep it happy long term either. Tried it twice, didn't succeed and decided, whilst it's stunning, it was not worth twisting myself in knots over! I'm horrible with anthuriums, haven't been able to keep one alive for more than a few months, so I'll pass on the vittariifolium, even if it's gorgeous! Two I have, love to bits and that would be great additions to your list are Pilea involucrata Moon Valley and Philodendron Black Cardinal. I find the Pilea to be really easy to care for; it's quite vocal when it's thirsty and it bounces back quickly from gentle neglect, unlike many other pileas! P. Black Cardinal is a great one for lovers of deep dramatic black and is fairly easy to take care of too. It's a slow grower for me though, so you I to be very patient for new leaves!

[@Houseplantygoodness]

Keeping my fingers crossed for you, hopefully soon! 🤞🌱 Those are some great additions too!

[@northliu1196]

Dioscorea dodecaneura (aka discolor) have such beautiful foliage, the shape, color and pattern are all exceptional. And it is not a difficult. My favorite is still the true Haworthias. There are so many different leaf shape, texture and veining that make them so very collectable!

[@Houseplantygoodness]

I used to have that Dioscorea and I do concur with you here, North 🙌🙌🙌🙌! Love your true Haworthia plant passion and your collection is stunning, you have some amazing specimens!
