Uncommon "Common Plants" Tour At Beautifully Landscaped Event space @bankampucafe Bangkok Thailand

I visit Bankampu cafe on the outskirts of Bangkok in this episode. The space is a plant shop, nursery, wedding venue, cafe, and restaurant. Owned by Mr Surath Vanno, a legendary plant collector with a lifetime of experience. He personally landscapes this space, along with daughter Kaew who is working as a landscaper. We see lots of rare common plants (I know this sounds pretty ironic, but you’ll see what I mean when you watch this) and I want you to pay attention to the amazing array of dieffenbachias, scheffleras, begonias, ferns, jewel orchids, episcia and forest understory plants in this episode. There are some rare plants littered everywhere amongst the common plants. We not only discover a lot of wonderful species along the way, but also ways to grow and display them!

[@asmitadeshpande1712]

Hats off to you Shawn for bringing so many videos to us. So many channels I used to follow have just dropped off the earth.😁😁 You have continued to bring us new material all the time. Secondly loved this guy’s garden. It has so many unique plants that I had never before seen. Thirdly I think there is something about Thailand weather that their plants grow so well. I have gone beyond ‘ jealous’ when I saw their bird’s nest sansevieria, needed a support. Thanks again for the wonderful videos.

[@onlyplants]

Thank you, Im going on strong with ambitions for the channel 😀 theres so much to share

Good day, I kept watching your vlog (thru smart tv) and I really like watching it about plants. I hope when you had chance to visit Philippines, u visit Arids and Aroids in Silang Cavite, here in the Philippines. You won't regrets visiting them. Of if u had time, try watch then also here in You tube. The owner of that plants haven is the guy behind the most expensive plant BG Regale( belongs to Sansevieria family) tnx

[@rakyat_biasa91]

1:03:00 that’s a sonerila. They are usually considered terrarium plants as they need high humidity to grow. I find them to be pretty easy to grow and propagate inside a terrarium but it’s nice to see them growing in the open like this!

[@onlyplants]

I have a feeling they can be acclimatized. Most terrarium plants actually can. Especially if they were propagated/grown from seeds

[@rakyat_biasa91]

@@onlyplants yeah, I believe so, especially here in the tropics where humidity is high.

[@rakyat_biasa91]

@@onlyplants Also, I’ve heard many sellers say that some types with thicker leafs like Sonerila cantonensis (often sold as Sonerila “Vietnam”) do well as normal houseplants, no acclimatization needed.

[@zainzamzami6331]

Your garden is green

[@Nutamago]

I just recently in love with big bad anthurium, but after seeing those precious begonias growing so lush there!!! holy wow. I always wanted begonia to grow outdoor not in a terrarium! but it's so hard!!!! aaargh bagus bgt itu garden nya

[@onlyplants]

They were grown around rocks, that were kept moist with water features. This way the media is not compact like they would be in a pot. Begonias really thrive in this type of setting

Those turtle sculptures are gorgeous 😍 Lol the plants and landscaping are absolutely impressive too of course. I really wonder how they water the hanging plants. Btw I'm afraid I would've mistaken the Spiritus Santi with something else too 🙈 The little chickens were adorable! Such a fun video 💚

Wooh I dont have the alocasia sting ray, but many struggle with it. Its first problem would probably be pest. Its one of the most pest prone alocasias… treat often. For potting mix I would reckon similar to other alocasias 😀 airy or chunky or both but dont let it dry out completely for long
