Dracaena 'Janet Craig' has been in the industry for a very long time. That was a really nice-looking Begonia rex! Fun vicariously plant shopping with you, thanks!
I live in the UK and the D.Janet Craig used to be for sale everywhere but it’s seldom seen these days. I’m not a plant parent because it’s trendy and after 40 years of owning plants I go for what appeals to me not for the hype. Glad to come across someone whose views the same.
Love that shop looks so cool if you are having problems with alocacia immediately dying back to the corm after you take them home it will shoot out new leaves that are better acclimated to your environment but it can take a while if they are staying at 1-2 leaves water it way more my baby alocasia jacklyn gets watered every 3 days sitting in coco coir/perlite in 35% humidity they really can just chug the water
❤ I just found a huge satin pothos In a hanging basket at Lowe's for 22 bucks!! Couldn't believe it I'm breaking it up and making a couple of plants. Just wow! The one in here was EXPENSIVE And so tiny!!
I think they are less preferred, but definitely not going out of favor in my opinion. They just released the new Pink Glory which is the Gloriosum x Lynamii and it's gorgeous.
That Begonia Rex is a Fedor, Rex is just a classification of the type of Begonia, its rhizomatous, unlike the Maculata which is a Cane Begonia. There are so many different varieties of Rex Begonias, so they don't all look like the Fedor you found. Also, Begonias can look completely different in size and color depending on the environments they're grown in.
Prices are a little high there. My local nursery charges 3.99 for baby’s , 9-12 for small hanging pots and 19 for larger hanging pots. Peace Lilly’s 19 for large sizes. And that Cad so cheaper in US dollars
What???!!! That's the Plant of the Year??? I expected an Alocasia, a Monstera, an Anthurium, a bush Philodendron, or some type of jewel orchid...not the one you showed, and certainly not the type with zero markings. (I won't name it so people have to watch.) This video was fun, thank you for taking us along.
Great video for those who want to learn. Funny thing - th3 plants I had been thinking of buying aren't my cup of tea now. Your video showed me new ones I like better. Thank you! (I do think Janet Craigs are hideous though 🤣)
Yeah really….The grower, Costa Farms probably made the claim of the “it” plant aka.. way too much inventory that hasn’t sold fast enough, impossible to kill and has a long shelf life.
I have a pretty mature, taller Janet Craig from Home Depot but it never seems happy. The leaves look like they are turning brown/tan so I moved it to a north/west facing window. Not very interesting as a smaller plant though.
@@SloansCommonGround I let it dry out and then flush it out the bottom. It really doesn’t like bright light it thrives in low light. I noticed that ants like to get in there and I dumped a whole thing of cinnamon and flushed it out and that plant went crazy with growth. It went over 6 foot and I had to cut it down, but it’s growing still and quite well. It’s started from a very small plant from a funeral there is now five plants that are 3 1/2+foot and other smaller ones
It's none of your business what other people think of you. If you are in a positive, uptimistic place, it's your responsibility to inspire other people. You can't be an adult with responsibilities to others if you are not being responsible to yourself, true to who you are. If you experience unreasonable behavior from other people, do not confront them alone. Wait for the right moment (often when the disrespectful person are smiling and occupied with somthing else, do not wait too long) and then show the person and other people in the group that you do not like to be treated with disrespect and that you hope to reconnect in a much better way for all peoples advantage in the future and you have now said you peace and will not discuss it ever again. Cut through precise and short. Do not get too personal. After that, be open for change. Wait, do not judge. Let people stumble one time and let them correct their own behavior. Tell them that you appreciate the change. Look at them, really look at them. They are struggling, often with self-doubt, distrust, and / or fear. Its not your responsibility to fight their battles for them. It's your responsibility to inspire. ❤
Who voted on this POS as the plant of the year?? What a let down, especially when so many more exciting plants have become widely available and lower in price. Psssht.
