Such an underrated channel, the YT algorithm needs to wake up and spread this to the masses like some beautiful wildflowers. Earth is my planet!

[@mglouise97]

When you say "Earth is my planet" it feels like a call and response so I say it right back 😂

[@susancarmo4221]

Love the elephant ear. The more water they get the bigger they will be. Good luck

[@sjustice3487]

I love free bees 🐝 I'm always looking for multiple plants in my pots when i buy, to get my monies worth and extra plants too!! Most recent steal was my 3 for 1 bottle brush 🤑 they're all thriving after separation too! 🎉

[@matt.endlesscourage]

whole lotta plants!

[@Zach.Trades]

Legendary finding the Canna Lily in the trash

[@ericstrees]

Paul brother you are a LEGEND

[@Devin127]

12:30 I just recently got a "coral black" elephant ear myself! It's a very dark purple, almost black color, and it's absolutely beautiful. I can't wait to see how yours grows

I'm in Houston, near Pearland/Mo. City, I have a huge tree philodendren. I never do anything to it (except that big freeze a few years ago, I cut off some of the parts that looked dead). I have had good luck with asian jasmin (just took cuttings, threw in yard and lightly watered at first). Other "no care" plants in our area I have had success with are hibiscus, sansevieria, crepe myrtles, orange trumpet vine, foxtail fern, southern magnolias and poison ivy.

[@beckyboopz1]

“…and poison ivy.” Lololol

Content comment for the algorithm gods.

[@tysonkturbo]

thanks for the video dawg. I'm sipping my cup of Joe rn waiting to go out to plant a bunch of nature trillium (t. erectum and t. grandiflora) that ACE hardware was selling. like what?!?! I dropped a Benjamin and cleared their supply. going in backyard woodland edge. let's go!!!

[@user-jw6dw9jf8w]

I did this at home, but I plant bromeliads and Tradescantia zebrina, and a small lake, in the same month there was a frog infestation at home haha

[@rickyt3961]

Thanks Pau! nice selection of plants.

[@sheldonwashere]

Your videos make my day everytime. 💚

[@michellepollino4986]

Happy Easter! Love all the new plants, and for free makes them even better. The purple elephant ears are gorgeous.

[@allenslater9234]

Love this!

[@slyfoley]

Need some bluebonnets so you can eccentrify how deep in the heart of Texas this garden really is

[@Spudknuckle]

Hey Paul, I know you have some dwarf Sabals on your land. What about Sabal Mexicana for your garden? It's a native to Texas and looks beautifully tropical 😍

[@catherinekodal5865]

I'm in zone 10a, have a yucca nearly 20 years, beautiful, gets very big with fantastic flowers, also a datura smells like perfume, ❤

[@AhmadAsrafHashim]

Maybe u could replace the bricks bordering the garden patches with river rocks from ur property to make it more aesthetic 😏

[@sethrasmussen5785]

Coolest plant dude love the content keep it up bro!

[@paulplantu]

I appreciate the support my guy!

[@monicavaldez2369]

Beautimus!!!😻 the purple elephant ear

[@paulplantu]

It’s really cool, I need to seek out some other varieties

[@drb996]

A few birdhouses and butterfly feeders would be 👌

[@paulplantu]

Definitely need to build some bird houses fashoo

[@BeautifulEarthJa]

7:00 I put more than a dozen of those around the perimeter of the house I just moved in. Gonna put in pineapples next. Yes, my plants will be saying 'keep out'!

[@concernedcitizen9507]

damn i ain know paul plant too

[@santaanaroadwildman3614]

Looks good dawg. Elephant Ear one of ma favorite tropicals that purple ones sick. Ya def circumcise those yucca tips Hella sharp. "Urth es ma plont!"

[@FilthyFiveHole]

Palm at 7:30 is a Livistona chinensis, looking good!!! Also at 15:31 I'm pretty sure that's a Chamaerops humilis. Would need a little closer look though. If you're looking for tropical hardy shade palms, look into Chamaedorea microspadix and radicalis! They would def be hardy in Houston, they're hardy in my yard in San Antonio.

[@YardeningwithAnne]

I have plenty of datura seeds if u would like some I'd love to share with ya!!! Mine got up to 8 ft tall last season

[@_Kensexotics]

What camera do you use ? (I liked and sub🔥)

[@mariagraciaamorbello1765]

First✨

[@margievaughan2456]

Great selection of plants but that yucca is deadly ouch😮

[@paulplantu]

I had to trim off all the points! Hahaha

[@sundalongpatpat]

What up

[@paulplantu]

Suhhhhhh

[@cromulentparty]

Rethink the Yucca bro, they are horrible when they get big and extremely hard to remove.

[@cromulentparty]

The roots can also disrupt house foundations.

[@leroystpierre]

20$ for that plant???? still too much... dont you have any local "family-owned" plant store there? or maybe you should start one lol

[@MagicalZach]

Great video , expensive plants. Checkout some local nurseries, fames, or Native plant societies that have sales. Usually can find cheaper plants.
