Jerry meets two plant collectors who have let their new interest run wild. Subscribe 🔔 ab.co/GA-subscribe
The house and conservatory and garden are packed with plants - there is not a spare bit of space left.
Jazmin said she bought a monstera first - and Jacob didn’t’ really like it - but a week later he wanted to go and buy another.
They soon discovered lots of variegated types and became hooked.
“We just kept buying new plants. It got to the point where we were challenging ourselves to buy a new plant every day,” says Jacob.
They learnt to care for them along the way.
One rare philodendron was for sale at a local nursery and so intrigued Jacob he camped out for the night to make sure he was first in line to buy it.
But the jewel in his crown is a Philodendron imbe cultivar with variegated leaves. “I like it because it’s like four different plants in one - each leaf is speckled differently.”
The couple has just started collecting anthuriums, and some plants have flowers and seeds coming, which they’re excited about, so they’re hoping to produce some new hybrids. As well as aroids, they also collect ferns and cacti, which sit outside. Some have an unusual ‘monstrose’ form. “You never know what to expect when you get a monstrose cactus,” says Jacob.
Jazmin says they spend several hours a day caring for their plants. “It’s quite a job.”

Philodendron x ‘Corsinianum’

Jasmine and Jacob you have both stumbled in to the best hobby and passion. There are just so many aspects to get into. Even pollination and thinking of creating hybrids.

Very, Very cool! You should do little house tours, and make a little pocket money. Just a credit to you both.

Imagine thinking you got a nice, cheap little monstera, and it turns out to be a Thai constellation worth hundreds of dollars a leaf. That's the dream.
