Tour WAVE HILL'S SUCCULENT Greenhouse - Ep. 214

[@desertplantsofavalon]

WOW what a FANTASTIC Succulent Greenhouse tour at Wave Hill, so many really beautiful and many different types of succulents, thank you so much Summer for sharing your wonderful visit and taking us all along with you XXXX

[@summerrayneoakes]

My greatest pleasure

Spot on regarding the root Mealy bugs. Even if you grow them in habitat here in South Africa, it is the main problem. The only way I notice is if I know a succulent should wake up and grow and I see no new growth. Either for winter or summer growers. If they don't start growing, I check the roots and repot. If the succulent looks dehydrated for a long period (it should plump up within 24-48h after watering) it could be root Mealy. If the plant was recently repotted or has sensitive roots I would flush the pot with water and surfactant (e.g. soapy water). This will remove a good portion of Mealy as well as bacteria (but few succulents require a specific bacterial microbiome for continued growth and bacteria can be added back in after the root Mealy bugs have been dealt with). It works on Gasteria, Haworthia, Crassula, Aloe, Asclepiads etc. so I adopted it as a nice management plan for potted succulents.

[@summerrayneoakes]

Thanks for your sage tips. Even above ground mealies look as of the plant is dehydrated. Good recommendations to folks to look for them both above and below ground!

[@kellyabdulla6539]

Sometimes I want to look at the plants but can't help but get distracted by Summer's awesome outfits, always!

[@alfredmeneses5496]

Summer, I love your humbleness when that employee complimented you “sounds like you know your plants”. You don’t claim to be “an expert” and recognize that you are still learning and discovering things about the plant world along with your viewers. Thank you for you dedication and great educational content! 💙

[@jennifersutt0n]

It feels like I'm walking through the greenhouse with a friend. Thank you for being informative and introducing new plants to me!

[@umairkhan-nf5re]

OH MY GOD SO TRUE

[@enirapiedt]

I dunno how many times I've watched your wavehill tours but everytime I just feel comforted.

[@legakhsire]

Regarding the resilience of Kalanchoe plants: my mother's neighbor had about 10 or more kalanchoe delagoensis plants. We live in Houston, TX and unfortunately most of them died after the weird winter storm in February that blacked out most of Texas. Luckily, a couple of them managed to make a comeback! I found a fallen bud from one of them on the ground and my mother's neighbor let me keep it. I went and visited my mom and set my little bud on the table and the next thing I know, she set a large serving dish on top of it and squashed most of its little leaves! I planted it in a tiny nursery pot immediately when I got back home and she is now thriving and has grown so much! I honestly thought she wouldn't make it after getting crushed. Kalanchoe are tough as nails. 💪

I love when you involve the gardeners to the vídeo, Big hug from México

[@tisha8253]

Your love for plants inspired me to grow plants.❤

[@summerrayneoakes]

Such good news. Welcome to the plant world!

[@greenleaves6340]

I begun my succulent collecting just last year and its very addicting🤣. Whats interest me is how each one of them grow differently. Propagation is also more fun. Seeing them grow and get mature till their flowering stage is totally rewarding. Love the tours. Another great video👍

[@CACTASTIC]

I love the whimsicalness of succulents. There is so much variety of forms that there is something for everyone. Thanks for this content.

[@MartiesPlants]

I still struggle with succulents, still learning. Love the moonstones. I think the only reason my moonstone is alive is because I ignore it. Great video.

[@wanderingwanda6090]

The bit about root mealy is very useful! I have a LOT of succulents and any info to keep them at their best is super welcomed! Thanks for another great greenhouse tour. :)

[@lcarhart1]

Loved hearing from Mr. Singh!!

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Thank you so much Summer for this video. FANTASTIC Succulent Tour. I totally enjoyed it! Thanks also to Harnek for pointing out the mealies in the roots. I too have experienced a few succulents that have these root mealies since I go away for long periods of time.💖💖💖

[@sashastarshanti3599]

Wow, super interesting and so many gorgeous succulents to see. What a nice guy the curator is, and I really appreciate the mealy bug tip for looking into the roots and changing out the soil every so often. Just the other day I noticed my Crassula Ovata has mealybugs. Hate them!

[@doneecemcneil7826]

Hi edagdwg God is always around enjoy seeing so many new plants thanks for sharing a forever fan Linda j. Peace

[@mutalechendelamuzo2102]

You are like a plant god,you know so much about them.watching from Zambia central Africa.

[@triciaroy]

What a beautiful place to visit during the winter and the pandemic.

[@summerrayneoakes]

I’m glad we were able to get in and make this!

[@joyceschmitt2392]

Ahhhh, my stomping grounds. I grew up In Kingsbridge and went to school in Riverdale. I would always go to Wave Hill after school ( I would sneak in. This was a long time ago. Shhhhh.) I loved walking the trails, checking out the greenhouses, and sneaking out to the train tracks by the Hudson River. I know this sounds cliche but it felt very magical to me. It was harder for me to go to the Botanical Gardens on a daily basis, so Wave Hill was my spot. Loved that you ventured out to the Bronx and included Wave Hill in your episode.

[@katiemarks9883]

MORE FIELD TRIPS PLEASE, Summer Rayne!!!!! We wouldn't be sanely making it through this pandemic without your soothing botanical knowledge and guidance :D

[@doughumbert1472]

Hi Summer Doug from Melbourne I have been viewing since pre COVID and you helped me get through our lock down which was very trying I love your field trips, nursery tours and home visits where you connect with plant lovers If you ever come to Melbourne please visit Collectors Corner and Roraima Nursery You will be impressed Bring your camera man!!! Thanks so much for your knowledge and passion Peace Doug

[@ksaewa]

Wow! Amazing collections! Thank you for the Tour!

[@neosenkge7589]

Awesome video ! I have a lot of varieties of succulents, cacti and euphorbias. I love discovering more of them and learning about them.

[@mariapietroniro7479]

[@doyouzgot2knw]

I think this might be my most favorite video so far Because of all the moonstones that I got to see in this video I love moonstone succulents

[@harindersinghossan5857]

I love all your field visits done so far. Specifically Amazon and Singapore ones. Just Amazing. Thanks !

[@deaconsmom2000]

Summer Rayne, you know you're our Queen, but I really loved having Mr. Singh as your guest star today. I only wish he had been mic-ed. He was dropping some great information and I only caught bits of it. Can we have another field trip with him in the future, please?

[@tanyal7122]

I just love these videos on a cold snowy morning and I LOVE tours 👍👏👏👏

[@BRANDYSTOTLER]

[@robinson101011]

Great video. What an impressive collection; so interesting. I can't wait for part 2. I love your field trips, I have seen places & plants that I would have never had a chance to see.

[@summerrayneoakes]

[@___olympia6233]

Please keep doing these videos! Learning about all of these new plants with you is blissful I just kick back with my cuppa tea in London and I feel like I’m there

[@omaam1005]

Yes Princess, more field trips. Always interesting. The gardener was really into talking about his experience. I got to run up there myself someday. See it in real life.

[@jfwhiteiv]

Really a mask in a greenhouse with such purified air

[@lisastreasures]

Beautiful earthy goodness 💚

[@elisaostrom5419]

[@josieblanco4587]

Hi Miss Summer i share your channel to my friends in canada and here in manila philippines they enjoy watching your plants content they are happy and then they also collect the diff variety of plants here in our country lots of beautiful plants . Tropical place .

[@tyrenasmith80]

I do like your trips I learn a lot and see plants that will probably never see here in my part of the world.

[@andredumas9547]

Hello Summer, very interesting tour of "plantes grasses" , I have some echeverias agavoide miranda which are prompt to rot but beautiful nonetheless when they behave... Thanks, I always appreciate your tours, they are the best.

[@planetdoods4360]

Hi Ms Summer, Its like a candy shop of succulents. Love Love the plants and the video. Cheers .

[@jaketheperson8495]

I love how she loves all plants common or rare, Big or small. It doesnt matter to her.

[@Alizardlovesyou]

Sedums and Huernias are my favorites ❤️

[@ralphchristianson]

Another great tour, of course we are waiting with bated breath for the tropical tour, they are always great and you do an excellent job along with the camera guy.

[@salrial744]

I finally identified a plant I have because you pointed it out. Thank you! I love Wave Hill but haven't been there since I got the plant. I crave visiting there, NYBG and all the other "wild" places in the city and Westchester. Trying to hang in there! You're vids help!

[@corgijungle4288]

Yes more trips, we travel through you!!

[@nancycordray8826]

Love the field trips and getting to see new plants I haven't seen before. Thank you.

[@ej_buendia]

Divine sunlight. Very relaxing video! Stay safe, Summer! ☀️

[@riawhetstone3725]

Garfield Park Conservatory in Illinois is definitely worth a trip! & The Conservatory of Flowers in San Francisco! Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden in Lakeside, VA🤯 Then there’s Longwood Gardens here in PA that I’ve seen maybe one time too many 😅 My husband always finds out where the closest conservatories are whenever we’re on road trips (even though he is tired of them) to help keep it exciting for me 🥰

[@wandashaw3551]

I love your field trip editions! Seeing so many different types of plants! 😍

[@succulentgardenermumbai]

Wow! Again u shared such a beautiful video (as always) on succulents . I like to collect succulents , I stay in Mumbai India, climate here is not suitable for them...but still i collect and try to grow and observe their growth.. Thanks to the care taker gardener for showing the bugs with so much of interest... Like your coat... And lots of love to you!

[@cathyblock6197]

Thanks for the tour. I just love Wave Hill. Can’t wait til we can go back.

[@eriklensherr998]

Can't wait for the second episode

[@mimosveta]

lol, he introduced brand new bug, and didn't tell us how he's getting rid of them :D

[@ibadhar7264]

I've had to deal with them for a while now. So far I've only found them in my succulents. You'll notice that the plant will stop growing and basically stay the same size for a long time. Also the lower leaves wilt off and die rapidly. When you uproot the plant, you'll see that the roots are covered in a white fluff. Also the mealy bugs are usually clustered around the roots which are just below the soil and not too deep. You can wash the roots thoroughly with water, then dunk em in a solution of soap water and neem oil for 15 mins and plant them into fresh soil.

[@myapopova]

I would think releasing some predatory mites (stratiolaelaps scimitus) upon them should work. They will establish themselves in the soil and eat the eggs and larvae of various insects... worked for my fungus gnat infestation!

[@anahpco1464]

Wow amazing 😍😍😍 so beautiful!! Of course I would love to see more videos like this.... thank you so much for sharing . Have a wonderful and bless day 😘🤗🙏🏼

[@majordelilah]

wow! even though I'm moving way more into foliage type plants, succulents are still unmatched with their incredible diversity (edit) as soon as I saw the dyckia I immediately thought of chanin. rest in peace💕

[@KerpooHater]

i quite like the ruellia makoyana at the start

[@jangreygarin3107]

Very in timing....❤️❤️❤️

[@ShaneHerrick]

Bug fun fact: The Western Conifer Seed Bug, is a true bug -Leptoglossus occidentalis ... which feeds on the cones and seeds of conifers throughout North America. The bug can be seen indoors during the winter, as these bugs find their way indoors to overwinter.

[@paramedicrnsimoncapote2630]

The senecio you called a propeller plant is nicknamed lavender steps😊

Now that I think about it, there were cottony balls on one of my Hoyas that I thought was some sort of fungus

I am fairly new for your channel and am really amazed by the quality of the video and insane amount of the information that’s given! I think this is the best plant channel I’ve come across and my new favourite! Just curious where you are from, because you don’t seem to have a European accent?
