I didn't let onto this last week, but The Utrecht Botanic Gardens in the Netherlands is particularly known for their extensive Bromeliaceae collection in part to one man-Eric Gouda (yes, named after my favorite cheese!) I seriously could have walked with him for hours going through every single species, but knew we didn't have all day. Rest assured, I separated this into two parts, so you'll get to see the second half next week!
This video in particular is chockfull of great Tillandsia tips from the Master himself, so pay attention! You'll learn something new, as I did!

Lovely to see some Brazilian species growing in The Netherlands! I'm from Rio too, but living in The Netherlands for many years... In Brazil I used to see the T. usneoides hanging from the tree branches everywhere in the Southeast region. People call it 'birds ivy' and tend to pull them off the branches. The T. burle marxii are named after our greatest landscape designer ever, Roberto Burle Marx. I hope you have a chance to visit some of his beautiful projects in my homeland! If you can visit the region of Petrópolis/Teresópolis you are going to be mesmerized! My father has a fantastic garden there and many contacts of botanic producers. If you ever go to Brazil, have some safe contacts and you're going to love it!

@elenagorba9096 3 года назад

Hello, Summer - thank you for the video, great information, I will watch it for the 2nd time. I am watching it in December 2020, 2 years after it was released. It is clear that either the camera man was different, or the approach to the videos was different in comparison with now. I adore Tillandsias and even thought I have just 5 - I always like to see videos and learn more. I really adore them. I am sorry -but this video was more like an interview -not a botanival garden tour - all I could see was the face of the curator and the dialog, and not plants. I respect him lot, he's got amazing knowledge and experience- but what he was saying could be filmed with the plants being shown to the viewers. Tillandsias were amazing, there were so many of them and only a small part was shown... I have watched quie a few of your Botanical garden tours - from Thailand, from London, Copenhagen, I guess - and you always show all the plants here. Being able to see so many amazing Tillandsias together could have been such a treat - but sadly it was not not shown enough..

I think this is my favorite episode so far. Very interesting and informative. Wouldn't it be wonderful to go on a trip to see house plants in their natural habitat with an expert like Eric? If you ever do that make sure you film it for us. :)

@ardikuncoro699 4 года назад

So so so beautiful Plants. I ever had tried to bring it from my grandmother home land at Ketawang Beach, Central Java. I was fell so stunning do to how beautiful they were. But I didn't really know how to grow it on my home. I thought that it likely a grass. I was felling guilty when know that my plant going to died. Since after I never try to bring it to my home anymore. I love to see the plants around the desert of Ketawang Beach live happy on their natural environment. 🙏😊🌈🌏🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌺🌸🌼🌸🌺💮💓💓💓

@Nhoj31neirbo47 5 лет назад

Such a fascinating walk about, chock full of good information and interesting insights. Eric’s thoughts on and approach to species differentiation got to one of the controversial elements of taxonomy. In some cases I feel that specialists are overthinking what constitutes a distinct species. The many different foliage forms of ‘one’ species seems to indicate that many of these plants are in a state of rapid evolution, similar to orchids. I wonder if that is so. ~ The Peruvian lithophytes reminded me of my first experience of bromeliads in the wild. It was on the western end of Jamaica, near Negril. I was exploring the scrub forest which grew out of sharpe, craggy rocks. Everywhere on these rocks grew huge bromeliads 3 to 5 feet wide and tall. Their pitchers were filled with life. The area was also populated with enormous shelled land crabs! It rained once every evening, so they got watered daily. ~ My favorite bromeliad RU-vidr is Barry Landau.

@wrayjordan7188 Год назад

Great piece. So many amazing plants. I live in South Florida and they actually fall from the trees. Have quite a lot of varieties. Thanks for sharing this video. Inspiring me to set up something to set them on to display. Usually just stick them in branch crotch or bush.

Yes thanks for suggesting @@AaronDavila1 . One of my grower friends had actually suggested I go this past year and never made it out there!

@StanTheObserver-lo8rx 3 года назад

What I learned is you should mount the bulbous types with the wild twisty leaves upside down. That way they wont rot in rains and if you look close there is a groove in the leaves..upside down,that catches and absorbs water.

Air plants are so cute so far we’ve only had success with some tillandsia ionantha but I’m definitely planning on trying other varieties again

@Ash-xx5zd 5 лет назад

This episode is so interesting. Like so many viewers, I have some air plants. I was thinking... if you could do a follow up or supplimentive video of lessons I took back home kind of videos. For instance, he was talking (5:35) how some arent really conducive to homestead environment. Could you show us the common plants we would come across in a western world plant store? As well as, could you show the plants that can grow at home, how would you mount those plants for a more natural habitat? Like at 12:22 I noticed the bark like bases for the plants and i was thinking I could forage some fallen bark! ....I personally enjoy these videos, but throughout watching it, I keep thinking, other than the educational value, what can I do with this information!? (In an eager excited manner and not a nihilist manner.) Thank you for these videos.

@LindaGLohan 5 лет назад

With all of the plants in your house, how do you let them drain? Of course having a saucer under the plant helps, but it isn't good to be in standing water. Do you just have to bring every plant to the sink?

@karstent8138 5 лет назад

Summer, is there any way of increasing the volume on this video? I've got all my volumes up on full, but it is still so quiet it's hard to make out.

@thegiansteve 5 лет назад

Very interesting episode! Thank you, Summer. How are these Tillandsias attached to the cork or to the lava stones? Do they have roots or are they wired?

@eccremocarpusscaber5159 4 года назад

Oftentimes they will be tied on initially. I find that many will produce quite strong roots to grasp onto the mount and the wire or thread can then be removed. Others never even think about making roots!

@JMaurissen1 5 лет назад

Do you have to tie most Tillandsias to bark to grow them in the best conditions? Thanks, Summer!

@ameliagraham92 4 года назад

Really nice episode. At some point you ask about some of the plants being "KAM" or in "KAM" (or is it CAM?) What is that in reference too? Also I am thinking of doing a large moss pole for my very overgrown Night-Blooming Cereus (Oxypetulum). Was thinking of attaching some small ferns or orchids near the top for interest. Would Tillandsia like that or would it be too moist? Thanks for doing what you do...I really appreciate you giving us the opportunity to see such amazing places through your camera lense.

@chunting89 4 года назад

CAM plants referring to plant which take CO2 in the night and store it for photosynthesis during the day. The stromata is closed during the day to prevent water loss.

@MsOceanRiver 5 лет назад

I have 3 tillandias that look very healthy. I submerge them in distilled water once a month. I display each in the top of a candlestick. Now I'm wondering if I need to grow them on bark/cork or rock?

@nightlydrugs6927 4 года назад

Display is completely up to you, but no distilled water! They take nutrients from water. Distilled has none. You can use bottled or filtered water. So, no chlorine, but they like the other nutrients and mineral.

I am so looking forward to my tillandsia usneoides to flower. @.@ I've had mine for 15 days and every night I mist her and when watered the, I think growing regions, look so much brighter green. Mine will never go outside though since I got her from Flordia and I live by Chicago. lol But for 15 days, she looks very happy and full. (Her name is Rapunzel.) You have to be very careful with them though and make sure they don't touch metal and are hung the right way with their leaves facing down. Also, so funny he's all...
