I usually feel like bloopers make people feel like they are trying too hard to be silly, but y’all have me rolling 🤣 I love how genuine you both are. Wish I was in Australia for the show!

[@sydneyplantguy]

We're actually that silly :D haha

[@BumblebeeFern]

@@sydneyplantguy that’s what’s so great about it 😆 I wish I had plant friends like y’all. Goals to move to AU…just minus the crazy cost for everything lol

I really enjoy when you and A J are together wow what beautiful plants sure wish I could go to the fair or just go see A Js greenhouse would be awesome but I live in the USA so I probably not going to make that trip as I am 74 years old I have so many houseplants some of them are on poles now thanks to your wonderful information videos you are my favorite houseplant person on KZbin

OMG, that Philo Autumn Queen is so beautiful😍And the peperomia - it´s going to be a big success, such a beautiful plant. It such joy to watch you two together laughing - I laugh with you too at home 😀

[@glengutridge4614]

a quick note on colocasias... depending on temps and weather, they get bigger in heavier potting mix.. i add orchid bark and or coco chunks to my store bought mix.. most ears do well in the ground.. your weather seems warmer than here in the u.s... growing in bogs or trays of water can tend to make bigger tubers, the food growers in hawaii grow the colocasias that way.. i've had ears for 40 years, i grow in both pots and in the ground..

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thanks for sharing :)

Love me some AJ! You guys are fun to watch together. Coming at ya from the homeland of Nirvana. That Ceropegia ampliata was real interesting. I like nepenthes and thought that was a cool pitcher. Psych! Cool trailer I’ll have to look into. Guys, it’s not goats milk, New Zealand lambs milk 100% with a touch of Manuka honey. Three drops per leaf dropped through the holes of the top one. Look forward to the plant fair vid. Good luck with sales!

I love love AJ..LOVE it when you visit her greenhouse.

[@ericaeschenbacher4921]

Excellent content!!! Thank you so much for the colocasia mojito tips, as we just acquired a beautiful specimen with hesitation as to the care.

[@ericaeschenbacher4921]

Alas! We've got the foliage focus, but Yates dynamic lifter is not available in the USA😭 searched every fertilizer with similar ingredients but NPK not same. If you do go back and get your colocasia, ask AJ if there's a diy mix that would equal 3 pellets of dynamic lifter please 🥺 looking forward to seeing you branch outdoors as well as hanging plants 😻

[@valeriegibbs5276]

so look forward to the videos of the two of you. infectious laughter. great video.

OMG Those planes!!! When we lived in Stanmore the windows would literally shake some days. We'd play this game with our then 3 year old, we'd all stretch up and tickle the plane's tummy, it felt like they were that low.

This was super funny to watch, please keep going on doing videos together :D Also: This Philo brandtianum is soooo beautiful 😍I definitely need one! I just built my first moss poles only by wire mesh and the moss dries out soooo fast. I think I will rebuild them with a plastic back like those grow verticals AJ is using. At first I thought this poles might look ugly as I was thinking of building my poles but in the examples from the video you basically can't see the pole itself so it's no problem I guess.

[@Yarnislife34]

Loved seeing you at the Collectors Plant Fair. I came on here to see if you were showing what I bought from the fair. So many good plants!

[@sydneyplantguy]

Nice meeting you :)

[@emiliepulver5015]

I enjoy all your videos and your joint videos with AJ are so fun. A question: do people in Australia grow palms much as house plants? I’m in a slightly below ground apartment in Chicago but still can grow several palms and they give such a tropical vibe indoors, although generally I get only one new leaf a year.

[@sydneyplantguy]

MM I haven't seen many grow plants indoors, but they are popular for patios :)

[@apvlee5890]

I had so Much fun watching the two of you.. looking forward to the next. Wish was in Sydney this weekend just to see you guys in person. Plants would be an added bonus😂😂😂

That Jose 😭😭😭 I want one so bad. Lost mine in a freeze a few years back and the prices have skyrocketed!! LOVED the climber section. I’d set up a hammock right there in the middle of the aisle 😄🌿

Hi. If you are in Australia jose is now sold in bunnings. I bought one 3 weeks ago it was labeled Imbe vareigated x domesticum. It sold very quick though. I got mine in bunnings Bethania, Queensland for only 14.98 with 4 leaves.

[@mikedecem]

I have noticed that lot of poles are filled with coco /bark. I understand that in greenhouse like this, there is way higher moisture than in apartments and you can easily take hose and water everything but do you water those poles regullary to keep it moist ? Its not very water absorbent and watering bark means all water just goes straight to cache pot. Not sure if having coco /bark as "moss pole" is viable for indoors.

Hallo Jan. ich habe ja schon viele Tutorials von Dir gehört und gesehen, und ganz viel gelernt, Heute hattet Ihr wohl Wein als Giesswasser geschüttet?? Sehr ansteckend....Euer Lachen!!!! Ich habe schon vor 40 Jahren einen Philodendron Varigegata erstanden, als man die in Deutschland noch kaum gesehen hatte (Allerdings viel verschenkt). Auch mit den Rank-Stäben, die ich immer schon selbst gemacht habe, war ich schon etwas nahe bei Dir. Aber auch mit 83 Jahren kann man immer noch viel lernen, und auch das English weiter üben. Aber Du hast ja wohl deutsche Wurzeln. Deshalb hier ganz liebe Grüsse und vielen vielen Dank, dass Du andere teilhaben lässt From Germany Mülheim an der Ruhr Beatrix Classen e

Like your Madre, I also enjoy your videos just a tad more when AJ turns it into a duo situation. What a bonus to get behind the scenes clips too. I also live in a city where planes slow down the video production process.

@@sydneyplantguy To be clear, all your solo videos are wonderful too. I do greatly value your no-nonsense approach to plant care and I plan to up my plant game by getting by a ordering the exact vertical moss poles that you and AJ use in your collections. As you say the proof is in the pudding.

*cries in Belgian weather* And how do you know which medium to use in your poles? This is the first time I've ever seen the woodchips and I'm intrigued.

Based on the moisture requirements of the plant/your watering technique (i.e are u hosing it down or not) and the availability of product. I have a video where I compare different mediums in my moss pole playlist :)

Colocasias do not grow well in aroid chunky mix. They do well in soil with some perlite with bright light. They grow well outdoors. Not indoors.
