One may not expect such a large greenhouse in an off-the-beaten path location, but Ott's Exotic Plants Greenhouse & Nursery in Schwenksville, PA does not disappoint. Though you can tell the glasshouses have aged over the decades, it only adds to its allure. Browse through large specimen plants-made popular over the decades-and hundreds of different varieties for sale to the public. To top it off, you'll get a chance to experience the indoor waterfall equipped with its own koi pond.

I love these old established greenhouses with display areas. Almost like a botanical garden. Thanks for sharing.

@hana1130 2 года назад

Me too! They really take on a life of their own when well established

@assenavogneram6213 2 года назад

Yes....love Them also 😅

@yougrowgail 2 года назад

When it comes to the names on the plant tags I think from visiting with workers and family I get the sense that they have been around for so long and they are using the names they have always used. They don’t seem interested in keeping up with the changes and I’m fine with that. There is something comforting and nostalgic about Otts and I love any excuse to visit. I also got to adopt one of the greenhouse cats!!

@alexpesina6773 2 года назад

The plant on the time 27:28 is a Russelia equisetiformis. It’s Also know as the firecracker plant! We grow outdoor plant in zone 8b! Stays pretty much evergreen through out winters and does get nipped back when we drop below 20 but has has been growing out side for 17 years now!

@polskyprincess 2 года назад

Thank you for this! I paused the video to see if someone knew.

@alexpesina6773 2 года назад

@@polskyprincess haha… your most certainly welcome. The are quite impressive plants… they get quite huge ! I have a row of 5 and they get about 5 foot tall by 7 wide! And they spread almost like a ground cover does with underground rhizomes… but always full of color and easily to contain. They have a weeping habit even when they get 5 tall.

@misse2013 2 года назад

Yes thank you Alex, I didnt know the scientific name. My firecracker plants love the Texas sun but I have to water every few days. The flowers drop when I forget to water, but within a day or two of watering, many new blooms arrive! I'm in love with this plant and the beautiful color- mine is sort of a coral color, sometimes slightly on the orange side and other times it's slightly more pink. One of my favorite plants ♡ Attracts precious little hummingbirds!

@giardinodialberi8751 2 года назад

Summer, when you ducked under the unidentified plant at 27:18, my arm shot up like a show-off fourth grader, "Ooooh, Ooooh, I know, I know Miss Summer. It's Russellia equisetiformis." But classmates Dwaipayan and Alex and others beat me to it! Alex cited a common name of firecracker plant; another creature bearing that name is Manettia cordifolia, corrected from M. inflata. If any of your disciples would like to make the move from tropical foliage plants to tropical blooming plants, a great reference is Flowering Plants in the Landscape, edited by Mildred E. Mathias. Great tour, Summer.

@kathleen3699 Год назад

Ott's Exotic Plants has been there Forever. Most Famous for its outdoor Mountain of Mums in the Fall. We brought our kids there Decades ago when we lived in Montgomery County. Treat yourself to Lunch at Collegeville Italian Bakery Restaurant just down the road.

@datarthy 2 года назад

Hey Summer, what a wonderful production! I would like to start by saying that I thoroughly enjoy your content and keep waiting for every new video! Also, that tubular red flower with almost grass-like foliage that you said you couldn’t identify, is actually a species of Russelia, which I think is a native of Mexico and South America but is quite common as a houseplant here in India. And you were right, it is pollinated by Hummingbirds in its native habitat, but since we don’t get Hummingbirds here, the work is done by the Indian Sunbird, which is quite similar morphologically to hummingbirds! Too excited for the next episode!

@yougrowgail 2 года назад

Ahhhhh I can’t believe Summer was at a greenhouse I’m at all the time! It’s so surreal watching a video of a place you know so well.

@francescyr4242 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing Summer, Made the trip up there today after watching this video. Wow some Jurassic speciems they have there🦕

@diversegardener392 2 года назад

That plant that was spindly and had red tiny flowers just as you went under the water fall we call it hear in Texas fire cracker plant. That one is gorgeous.

@ponchbag 2 года назад

Really hitting all my favorite philly planty things

@patriciaaberth6664 2 года назад

Can't get enough of these videos, thank you for sharing all your travels with us to so many beautiful places.

@bananabreeding1362 2 года назад

Great outfit Summer!

@angela86753 2 года назад

Green with envy is right. This place is incredible! I could spend a lot of time there. Thanks for taking us along

@marsf4883 2 года назад

Wow you can spend like all day in there! So cool seeing such big cacti, and monsteras :)

@michaelspano4067 2 года назад

pretty sure the platycerium is wandae the largest species. you can usually tell it by the frilly growth at the base of the pendulous fronds. these can grow into monsters. i had a friend in south florida who had one at least 8' across and the fronds fell a good 12' down. the plant at the end of the tunnel we always call firecracker plant or vine. they are fun in pots on balcony's and will hang down to the ground from the second story. the hummingbirds love them.

@PlanTropical 2 года назад

I soo wanna go there now. Thank you SRO for taking us there.

@Drosera444 2 года назад

Mannn that Cissus Discolor by the pond was massive!!!

@jnmrz72 2 года назад

My grandparents lived in Schwenksville and I grew up going to Otts! So many great memories!

@salvadorrios9647 2 года назад

Hey Summer The name of the whimsy plant that’s pollinated by hummingbirds, goes by the common name of “Firecracker Bush”, Russelia equisetiformis. It is used in landscapes in central to southern texas but native to Mexico and Guatemala

@weareparamore1597 2 года назад

Love that your back in the tours Summer.. Been missing that since covid

@tommyk5161 2 года назад

Otts is an amazing greenhouse to visit. We always add Mutschlers to the greenhouse tour along the rt422 corridor. Mutschler's was mentioned in the Philly Victorian Greenhouse tour video, but the host butchers Bob's (last) name in that video when discussing his staghorn. Mutschlers has a great selection of orchids, bonsai, pond stock, cacti and some one-off staghorn.

@polskyprincess 2 года назад

I visited Mutschlers. It’s very unique. Almost mystical. I did see him mentioned in the Philly conservatory tour and wanted to comment!!

@zeahlessley6108 2 года назад

Hey folks, since that has one large spore plate on the fertile frond, that appears to be Platycerium superbum. I have one in my western window ❤️

@Plantasy98 2 года назад

It sure is beautiful, I’ve been many times but they constantly are infested with pests. Word of warning to anyone who wants to buy from there!

@marissawagner1466 2 года назад

I agree

@giardinodialberi8751 2 года назад

If I could contribute to the conversation with some observations from today's visit: (1) The collection of house plants here is getting better and better. There's a nice range of larger specimens down to smaller more affordable selections. (2) The facility is very clean and plants are displayed well. Definitely worthy of a revisit.

@deekayvixen 2 года назад

I love how you and the cat are wearing matching outfits 😆

@keyboardwithkimmy 2 года назад

Love Otts! Fall and mum mountain outside is gorgeous!! So cool that you were there!

@Ozzysrz13 2 года назад

Ok can we all just appreciate your style!!! Girl you’re pulling off that hat and coat so well!! Keep on thriving, you’re awesome!!!

@AmandaCornell 2 года назад

I live 30 minutes from Otts and I finally visited it last summer. You missed walking up over the “hidden” arch path great view overlooking the water fall. That observatory greenhouse is everything!! In our area it’s a real treat. It was so fun to see this pop up as one of your videos.

@Burzum325 2 года назад

Love seeing you go to all these greenhouses in Philly and nearby where I live. If you get a chance, please check out bountiful gardens in Ewing, NJ! It is by far my favorite place to go.

@marissawagner1466 2 года назад

I go here all the time! Love that you made a tour of it 💚

@rz1974 2 года назад

If Summer and Co. decide to visit Philly again, I recommend staying in the Mt. Airy area. Tons of old stone houses and greenery, and close to the beautiful Wissahickon. Not so much content wise, but your comment on the stonework around Ott's made me think about it.

@rising_waves 2 года назад

Summer, the plant u were asking for. On 27:37 is firecracker or Russelia equisetiformis

@benlcr7784 2 года назад

Following your channel for years but I never get bored . Also following yr other channel, 🥰

@justinewalters8787 2 года назад

Otts Greenhouse was established in 1964... I adore this greenhouse and have been going there since I was a kid. I wish you could have caught on film the wow factor of the spatial structure of the greenhouse. Time for another visit!

@sandragoerlich7134 2 года назад

Wow, that’s almost like botanical garden, love those espécimen plants, the waterfall is so nice, thanks for sharing !!!

@wandashaw3551 2 года назад

Another awesome field trip!! I love how you drop your plant knowledge on us, that's what I aspire to do when people ask me about my plants, I want to give some in depth plant info!! Thank you.

@michellechadwick9839 6 месяцев назад

Visited here recently and was very disappointed with how the younger staff (person on register) treated the older workers in the greenhouse. We asked about a price of an unmarked plant and was told one $ but when we went to check out the girl at the register made a big deal about yelling to the older gentleman that "Oh I guess we are low balling prices again huh?". If you wanted it priced at a certain point, maybe you should label it?!? I'm never going back after that exchange. The quality has been going down recently too.... Very sad. We used to love driving out to visit.

@irisbos717 2 года назад

The alocasia cucullata is actually not a new plant; I guess it just has been too underrated for garden centers. I've seen them in the Netherlands several times. Glad that they're more availble now!

@boxedmeat 2 года назад

@03:45 -- "piece of the root" -- That is a Stem, my dear. Surely you realized that in hindsight, but, oh well . . . .

@stevenverleye6062 2 года назад

I so love your videos, Summer ... been seeing the whole evolution of your recent years ... You do so well

@jrjangayo4960 2 года назад

Crot0ns or popularly know as san francisco plnt here in the phiippines Very unusual to see it here People uses them sa yard hedge - for privacy etc If left in the wild, it grows to more than 6ft with very colorful leaves Seeing them in full sun We have different varieties of plants here Hopefully someday you can do a bl0g here ms summer Stay safe everyone!!!!!

@halamomslife6947 2 года назад

That Croton interrupta(?) is called Mother and child here in the Philippines, and Croton is more commonly known as San Francisco plant.

Speaking of getting stabbed in the eye, a while back my landlord got stabbed in the eye by a Yukka leaf and thought it would come good by itself so he left it. It ulcerated and he nearly lost the eye... Be careful in the garden, folks!

@cmags0520 2 года назад

Loving all the Philly area content!! I was just at Otts the other day to pick up some new additions for my collection. Even without buying anything at Otts, it’s so peaceful to walk around. Come back in the fall to see Mum Mountain!

@amyjones2490 2 года назад

Great tour. I have a poinsettia that I’m turning into a standard. I got it as a 4 inch plant 10 years ago and it blooms every year for me.

@diversegardener392 2 года назад

I live in San Antonio Texas and planted a cleradendron in my back yard in a corner of my back porch patio and it grew like crazy and covered my whole back porch ceiling I had to string it up and it bloomed like crazy. It was beautiful at first but then became very invasive and I couldn't even kill it with a weed killer. I don't know what happened to it today since I moved 12yrs ago. Good luck to the home new home owners that's all I can say.

@garykandmimisgarden1662 2 года назад

I loved the tour. I've just discovered your channel so I will be binging for a while. I noticed that you are very particular with the plant names which is refreshing. What is your take on geranium vs pelargonium?

@giardinodialberi8751 2 года назад

That's an easy one. This pair is not a product of recent revolutions in nomenclature. They are two different genera. Geranium is a hardy garden plant, while Pelargonium is a tender potted plant. Centuries ago Linnaeus detected the differences, as Anne Swithinbank points out in her comprehensive book, A Handbook of Greenhouse and Conservatory Plants.

@erikm8372 5 месяцев назад

That hanging plant with the red flowers is _Russelia equisetiformis_ 'Firecracker Fern'. And yes… you’re right about its pollinators needing a long beak or proboscis-it’s a hummingbird magnet. That’s so interesting to see it cascade! I’m so used to seeing it here in SoCal just in the ground. Plain. Lol. Just as a messy, “Cousin It” looking bush or shrub. 🤣 But i do love it. Especially this hanging style! It almost makes it look like _Hoya linearis_ or _H. retusa_ in a way, or some sort of _Rhipsalis_ even, which is what I’d thought at first-I thought the flowers were cactus fruits!

@edithcoliagrandis 2 года назад

27:45 Russelia equisetiformis aka Firecracker/ Fountain Bush/ Coral plant

@hungryalien Год назад

summer walking around this extensive greenhouse pollinating and making new hybrids LOL! 🤣

@alang13 2 года назад

Yucca at 22:20 of the video.....Don't know the name, but it also looks very similar to Agave desmettiana 'Variegata', which make great indoor plants.

@cherryswonderland4530 2 года назад

Ahh such a beautiful greenhouse!! This place is 4-5 mins away from our tattoo shop in Schwenksville called The Tattoo Shack🥰

@cefcat5733 2 года назад

Does the Asparagus constantly 'shed' or does the dropping of leaves mean that the watering schedule is off? Mine is outside for the summer, but now, where to put it???? Somewhere I can sweep or vacuum or do I need to cut it way back? The wild long ends are cool to watch, but annoying.

@anitabach552 2 года назад

I'm looking to start fertilizing my plants and Espoma is not available in Canada which is what I was hoping to get. What would you recommend as your second go to fertilizer for your plants.
