I love that Jake has such rare beautiful plants but also has a wall of lush pothos behind the gorgeous variegated Monstera. It makes me feel less like my collection is not so all over the place. It is hard to explain why a plant personally attracts an individual. I hear a lot of people give up or throw away their more common plants once they get into rarer plants. I also enjoy that he showed the the hacks we all use post photos of plants on IG. It helps people not be too hard on themselves of a plant gets bugs or loses a leaf.
Paula Bollers ...Pothos are my absolute favorites. They are easy and rewarding to grow. A simple silver ann or marble queen will always be one of my favorite plants!
Love that he gave the shout-out to N.C. Siddharth and referred to him saying that he is a "Plant guru & graciously babysits us on several Facebook plant groups." That man is soooo knowledgeable. Love my face book groups. Appreciate seeing Jake's spider mite webs. Thanks again for great content!
Haha yeah. Siddharth is super helpful, and hard to believe this is just a hobby for him! He’s not professionally trained in this, which is crazy to believe. More spider mite webs upcoming :)
i love to hear his relationship to the plants and which ones are his favorite - that there’s not much focus on how expensive and rare they are is refreshing! just the pure love for plants ❤️
I agree! Almost all of my plants are simple common succulent plants. Crassulas, haworthias, aloes, ponytail palm, phal orchids, dracaenas and sansevierias, hoya compacta and of course my variegated Monstera albo... And I must say the common crassulas (jade plants), orchids and hoya all rank higher on my favourite list than my albo... But I love them all!
@@LegendsOfMonstera It'll happen when it happens! After all.... You can't rush genius.... Or something like that 😆 I'll look forward to seeing it when you do finally get around to it.
Jimmy love your channel. I love that you show off instagramers that maybe don't have there own channels but would love to show off there plants. I've got tons of beauties myself and love to reach out for help in the plant community I've made some awesome friends ❤ 😀 😊 ♥
Love seeing Jakes collection, it’s Awesome!! The Anthurium,” Tesla” is beautiful an so unique, the leaf structure looks like a sword to me, an all leaf veins gorgeous !!!
Talking about inexpensive plants, my favorite one at this moment is an alocasia amazonica which sells at ikea for about 7€. It has put such big leaves, up to 40 cm long, and it is now in flower. It also has grown 2 babies at the base. I mean, this plant has done everything it can do!
Fantastic! I'd love to go shopping in his house! I'm amused at how he complained about the spider mites on the alocasia and yet he put it right back on the shelf with all of the other plants. I guess like he said - the other plants are safe
We're both in a spider mite war and quite a few of our plants are infested. It's kind of difficult to isolate them when the infestation is so pervasive. It's an ongoing battle.
Love the video and all the wonderful assortment of plants that I have learned about! Thank you. I love seeing how people take care of their plants so I can learn as I am a newbie! Watering depends so much on where you live. In Florida we can't let our plants have wet feet. No way! It is too hot and humid here and when or if we get any pests, just put the plant outside and it cures all ills, at least for me. Keep showing these wonderful videos!
Thanks for watching and tuning in! I think one takeaway from these interviews is that there's a lot of ways to do things. Though some things don't work for us for our plants and environment, hopefully it'll let us be more open minded about how others do things. Cheers!
Omg loving the breakdown of the anthurium mix and the moss wrapping tip. I have been hunting for more specifics on anthurium mixes. Links to more in depth anthurium care mad appreciated.
Legends Of Monstera really? I have just one-and anthurium pedatum and it is not very happy. Do you have a video break down of how you pot up and care for your anthuriums?
Super cool video!! I was so excited to find an alocasia that I liked. I bought it. It was overrun with spider mites within a week 👀 Like so bad that I couldn’t save it. Never again 😐 Haha...hope you have a great day! 🌱♥️
I have thrown out a fair share of alocasia for the same reason. I only have a few special ones currently. Some are so darn pretty as long as they stay alive and well lol
( panicked shouts coming from a crowd running down an La Street) run! Run! Monster! Monster! Run for your life! What is it what is it! Frankenstein? The Creature from the Black Lagoon? No! No! It's a variegated monstera Thai constellation!!( screams heard as the crowd runs back towards the monster) wow, do you think I can get close enough to get a selfie?! Oh I've always wanted one of those! I had this knife for protection against the monster but maybe now I can have a cutting with it!
Just discovered your channel! Very much like the effort, you take! PS: I also very much like shingling plants - that how I stumbled upon you. Best wishes from London.
Beyond cool! Thank you and Jake for sharing his collection so far. I look forward to future episodes. And, as a super novice, I must say how appreciative I am to see his pothos wall! Next to some of his favorite plants. Obviously he just appreciates plant beauty, exotic, and simple as well... Very inspiring.
He also has a huge succulent collection that we aren’t going to cover. Yeah, his love for plants extends way past aroids. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy the rest of the series 🤗🤗
Gorgeous plants! It’s so interesting to know that frydek are spider mite magnets! I have 2 fairly large ones that I’ve been treating on and off for over a year. They flourish for awhile then I find a web and yellow spots on the leaves. I started thinking they had become immune to my treatments? I’m not giving up yet! Love your videos! Thanks!🌱😊
All alocasias attract spider mites. I don’t think you can eradicate them completely, just control them. I only have a few in my collection for this reason haha.
Your dischidia is a nummularifolia. The dischidia nummularia has round leaves and is also called a string of nickles. I just bought a dischidia nummularifolia, paid 15$ for a 1 inch cutting. It's doing well but no growth so far.
Thanks so much for the clarification! Yeah, I'm pretty ignorant regarding dischidia, and quite a lot of things actually, so I appreciate the fact-checking by viewers. Cheers!
Am I the only one that wants to see the tattoo plant? I want Jake to show us his tattoo and explain all the parts of it, sometimes there's a story about each part. It has to be on topic so it's a tattoo plant.
Good vid! I live for positivity and actually premise for ”imperfections” in plants. Really important and laid-back message! Just making sure - is the Alocasia ’Green Dragon’ same as ’Dragon scale’? Ive seen secon one used quite often and bought mine as that.
Yes, they are the same. I got to know them as the green and silver dragon scales myself, but now it seems everyone refers to them as the green and silver dragons.
PS. I worked a bunch of years in the horticulture field, an don’t remember all these variegated plants. Your a Dr., why is it that now there are so many converting or chimeras going on?
@@LegendsOfMonstera Hey np! I had this plant a few years ago and not a single person knew the name (was far less common then!) until a friend of mine from Thailand got one and was like "oh yeah, that's ideaminubu" ha!
Yeah. It's not the only plant in his collection with spider mites. Not sure if isolating it is that helpful. I'm having similar issues. Name of the game is control instead of eradication it seems =(
