Silver Krome Greenhouse Tour: Aroids, Prayer Plants, and More! - Ep 166
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ส.ค. 2024
- If you want to peer into the life of a greenhouse grower, then probably no better than Bill Rotolante of Silver Krome Gardens. He takes us through the range of plants he is growing -primarily Aroids like Philodendron, Monstera, and Anthurium-as well as Prayer Plants, such as Goeppertia, Calathea, and more. He talks about how the landscape of growing has changed over the last few years-and how consumer trends are really driving what he's growing (as well as why it drives him crazy).
Stay tuned, because we'll have a special tour of his private collection too in an upcoming episode of 'Plant One On Me'!

Bill seems like a really nice, down to earth person. He seemed a little nervous in the beginning, but Summer you did so well in making him feel comfortable throughout the walkabout! Thanks for the lovely tour, once again! :)
I try! Most people do not want to be on camera. That's for sure!
SEEMS is quite accurate....
Orholam ooooooh, somebody didn’t have a good time working with Bill!
I like him. Tx for introducing us Summer.
He was so knowledgeable. What a fantastic career path.
Such a great tour and incredibly sweet and generous of him to share his tips and knowledge of the plants he grows because I'm sure many commercial growers would be reluctant to do so.
Couldn't agree more!
Summer Rayne Oakes: world Champion in formulating long questions. ;-)
I always feel so privileged living in the Netherlands seeing these types of videos. I didn't actually know we grow so many plants here until I saw these videos. It does explain the reasonable prices though
I'm not sure if you got a chance to see some of the automation of nurseries in the Netherlands, but you can check out Ep 78, for instance!
@@summerrayneoakes yeah I saw it, truly amazing to see how all that gets done
I love these private greenhouse tours!! It gives us a greater appreciation for what growers go through for us plant consumers. Love seeing all the cool species and cultivars!
I want to be with Bill and be surrounded with all his plants all the time.
This man talks so simply and basic but full of tips or aha moments comments he utters, so thank you Bill!
I admire the son contuining his father's business.
damn this dude understand plants , first time i hear someone mention stress on plants
Bill U educated &thrilled us all
"When will these actually be ready for sale?" "When they get to be a bigger size"... Props to you Summer for keeping it cool :) You are an excellent interviewer
I like the way Bill talks about plants, very informative. Bill is so humorous person.
These tours are always enjoyable, not just because of the scenery but gaining these extra knowledge that only people in their field (pun not intended) have as a plant parent is empowering 😎
I know it might come off as ignorant or lazy, but as an european, I'd love metric system "translation" from imperial system to pop up somewhere on the screen, whenever any information about temperature, height etc is said. It's a minor nuance, but it would help a lot, since I'm not fluent in feet, inches and Fahrenheit degrees and cannot do the calculations in my head on the fly. Still, a great video - and fingers crossed for the Webb Awards, Summer!
Thanks for the suggestion. In my Houseplant Care spreadsheets, I convert the F to C. But here, I'm usually rushing to the finish line for the edits, but would be a nice add on. I'll put it on my wish list as the channel grows. And thanks for the good will on the Webby Awards. I hope we win too. It'll be a big statement to show that botanical content is a priority / interest for people.
@@summerrayneoakes I try, believe you me, but as a European F means nothing to me :(
I would also love this! People tend to forget that even in many Anglophone countries the metric system is standard.
Fahrenheit makes no sense! The trump of measurments....
BILL!!!!!! YOUR KILLING ME!!!!💚LOL....YOUR PLANTS ARE 😱🤭🤯🤩!!!! I cannot wait to see part 2!!!!
Hands up those of us collecting water from our AC units !
My dad does that. We thought he was the only one in the world who collected air conditioning water for his plants. I will have to let him know that he has like minded company.
I remember you speaking with Bill in a previous video. What a great guy.
My Nursery had a 16 inch Stromanthe stromanthoides 'Charlie' for $60 I got it today finally, it was there for months I couldn't believe it was still there so long. I'm in love with it the leaves are 16 inches long and 8 inches wide 😍😍😍 what a steal!
this is close to where I grew up. Krome avenue is a back road lined with nurseries. Truly, a plant lover's dream.
I'm up by Gabriella Nursery on Gabriella Ln. Oviedo. I always wondered where the name came from.
Wow, those look fresh & healthy 👍😁 Thanks.
"Labour is a lot cheaper in this country that it is over there". Workers' rights, babe, workers' rights...
Europe vs America
As the video shows when labour got expensive, robot replace human labour.
You'd rather have the workers fired and replaced with robots like in Holland?
Always love these sort of videos they show us such a big variety of plants and all so beautiful! ♡
absolutely loved this, I recently bought an A.Rotolantei and it's my favourite plant hands down. Thank you for sharing this tour with us!!
also I was watching another video (of his aroid/anthurium greenhouse) and the video disappeared all of a sudden! lol I guess I got a sneak peak of the next episode?
TH-cam slip! It'll come out on Sunday. Didn't mean to layer them on top of one another like that. Got to let each one breathe a little.
WE need to get back to walking in to local gardening centres and finding something we like and then asking the experts if it would do well in our home, light, water type, humidity etc. Really tired of everyone promoting hard to find, E X P E N S I V E plants. Those of us with budgets and beginners seem to start feeling bad for enjoying philodendron Brasils and pothos....Please do some videos on inexpensive plants that resemble their pricey cousins. Thanks !!!
Quite honestly .... Philodendron Brasil and the Pothos are still my all-time favourites . They just keep on giving joy without th drama.
i think everyone should chill out with the instagram hype. went to one of those fancy hipster plant pop ups and bought two overpriced calethea varieties cause they looked so pretty but obviously had zero connection to the plants, one got spider mites fast and died within weeks & i didn't even care that much. the plants i really love are the ones i got from cuttings from friends or bought when they where tiny and watched grow over the years. most of them really common plants but they give me fond memories & make me care for them much more. people should see plants more like living beings one can connect with, not just a trendy accessiore to brag with.
So glad I discovered your videos. Your knowledge and energy are exciting. I am a die hard plant person who spent 15 years working in a greenhouse during the plant boom in the 70’s. I especially liked your Logee’s tour. I want to watch all your videos. Thanks!
This man knows his stuff!
So if I’m understanding correctly, even commercial nurseries buy their stock from labs that grow them via tissue culture. Maybe you can do an episode on tissue culture next time?
Some nurseries start from seed; others by stock (including from TC). We have one on Anthura in the Netherlands that mass produces Anthuriums and Spathiphyllum that you can watch. They do TC. Ep 78
th-cam.com/video/HcAsbyaESbY/w-d-xo.html here is the direct link to Ep 78,
😍😍😍 Anthurium Heaven!!! I've seen him online and heard about "Big Bill." What an absolutely majestic plant! I'm chomping at the bit to see his private collection!!! Thanks to both of you for giving us this tour and sharing your knowledge. Stay safe!
You're welcome. So glad you enjoyed! Part 2 coming on Sunday.
@@summerrayneoakes YAY!!! I'll be sure to tune in! Thanks again!
i always wait of field trip .thaks summer
Thank you✨🌿🌞🌴🌈
Bill seems like a really cool guy! Awesome video, awesome greenhouse!
I really enjoyed this video. I am impressed by Bill's operation. Can't wait to see his private collection! I have an Alocacia Polly that was one of my earliest collected treasures. Learning the background of this plant and Bill's involvement in its patent process is something that will make me treasure this plant even more. That was totally unexpected and a nice surprise. Thank you for this tour Summer, and many thanks to Bill for taking the time for the very informative walk-through.
You're most welcome. And I'm sure Bill would agree!
I am from Jamaica, this is my first time watching you video. I truly enjoy this episode. Flowers are one of my passion, i love them so much so that my whole house and yard looks like a rain Forrest, my flowers are my babies.
Very very amazing!
Loved the insight about the switch in consumer demand vs nursery control as well as the idea of responding quickly and predicting what’s going to become popular.
Such a great video! As always 💚☺️👍🏼
Beautiful flower and fresh flower
Love this episode! Calatheas are my absolute favorite! If I can keep them alive 😂😂😂
Aw bless him, he seems nervous, not making eye contact when he spoke to you.
I immediately like someone who has three well behaved dogs. Now I want to own more birdnest anthuriums too. Can't wait for the private collection video!
Absolutely love your field trips
Glad you like them!
i like everything of your shares , i like your been , you never bored me 😊😊
he's so adorkable
Can't wait for the private collection tour.
Sunday! Though you may not get a notification for it because it already went live and I had to take it down oops!
Another great field trip, just what I needed while on lockdown! Thanks so much! 🐔🌱
Thank you for the nice informations about plant collections, ilove your plants they look healthy and happy.
dear summer, just wanted to say THANK YOU for this video. 1. NOW i know why i have spider mites (SE ASIA) or pest problem with alocasia (they are dying on me!) and 2. Totally deeply appreciate of how much efforts / work / devotion / passion needed for the instagram foliage plants / the landscape plants which we take for granted 3. How lovely is Bill and his dogs and his hard work! wow! thank you! m grateful for these videos I spend most of my off day (pottering around my tiny hot humid flat in SG with my plant care while watching / listening to your videos!) and my lunch breaks :) learning more and more! :) :) :) much love and regards from Singapore
Nice plant tour. very robust pothos plants in the background.
Fascinating how so many well known plants originated in his nursery !
Great tour, thanks.
lol Bill is the best! I live only 12 mins away from this nursery
if I may say something about spider mites, they proliferate very well in warm and dry conditions which are usually and easily found in an apartment during the autumn-winter time, when people turn on the heating and the air dries out...so I would suggest to bring your plants under a shower and do the rain effect on both sides of the leaves to clean the most of them. In addiction you can wrap each leaf in a plastic bag for a couple of days maybe three. Spiders hates water and high humidity conditions...so in this way you'll get them off/dead without using any chemical. Hope that helps...
When I saw those Alocasia Sumo, my jaw DROPPED! OMG!
Hi Summer- sorry this is off topic but I just wanted to let you know that I’ve tried a few times to vote for you in the webby awards but have had trouble creating an account in order to vote. Sorry! No one deserves that award more than you !
Hi Debra, thanks for letting me know. You can register via Twitter, Facebook (if you have those accounts) or via email. Any of those will work. bit.ly/2W4jOWa and bit.ly/35k1Q6g
Anthurium specialist's private collection?! I am PUMPED for the next episode! This is very interesting, I remember you chatting with Bill in a previous video and thinking at the time that the greenhouse he mentioned must be spectacular, and oh boy did it ever deliver!
Coming soon! Sunday! With some special treats baked in there.
Wow! so many gorgeous plants and it was great to learn some tips and tricks from Bill. Please do more of these videos, I'd watch them all day long.
Those big leaves plants😍 I want them for my garden
I can’t say this enough, your videos are made so well that you deserved AT LEAST a tv program, love your channel so much 💞💞💞
Thank you so much 😀IF you haven't yet, please vote for us. We're up for TWO Webby Awards for our content. Here: bit.ly/2W4jOWa and here: bit.ly/35k1Q6g. It would mean a lot to us. Every vote counts and it'll send a message that botanical content is an interest for the general public.
Summer Rayne Oakes I already did vote!! I saw it in your story and went immediately!! ^_^ best of luck in the awards ✨
So amazing I love plants and nature , you are doing great Ms Summer you support every nursery owner 👏👍
Im impressed
Very good video beautiful plants and li learned some things thanks for sharing
Awesome collection.
I'm amazed at how much The Netherlands (I'm Dutch) exports! I live and work very close to all of our growers and plant facilities and it amazes me that we ship to literally everywhere! Thanks for this video, can't wait to see his private collection! (P.S. Summer, I saw you at Stek in Rotterdam for your book tour, you said hi and I just completely froze. Sorry.)
Awesome vid☆☆☆☆☆
Thank you for video 😊
AHH! omg was just rewatching the interview with him at the booth from... last year? was wondering if you were ever going to visit!!
Love the video. Appreciate the information. Felt a bit uncomfortable when he said “labor is cheaper here” ... pan to migrant worker.
Absolutely wonderful and so educating! Was great to know that it is stress that is attracting spider mites! Other things too, and the last part - the landscaping collection was breathtaking- I loved every single plant!. Now will be watching his private collection and also episode 78 on Netherlands automatic plants production - so excited! Thank you so much, Summer! Maybe you do jot realise, but in these stressful times (watching it in February 2021) - you help so many people - your videos and your voice and a manner of speech are calming and even soothing, and a great pleasure to watch. Thid is plus to all knowledge you share. Big thanks and hugs!..❤🤗❤
Great question??? I lost my "poly" of spider mites a year ago, after it was huge and gorgeous....😢
Bill has a handsome face, and his knowledge of his greenhouse makes him even more handsome.
Have a great day!
One of my favorite episodes! It was informative and pretty fun to watch.
Daddy's hella cute!! 😍
What a super setup! Can't wait for the collection tour 💚 *adds birdnest anthurium to wishlist* You interview with such ease, truly lovely to watch 🌿 love from England
This was so interesting Thanks Summer :))
Can't wait to see the second part ^^
Beautiful video!!. Never seen so much variety of plants. Thank you for showing us.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NOT FAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im looking forward for the PRIVET COLLECTION tour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE FROM Israel :)
Coming up on Sunday!
Didn't you visit them last year? Their nursery is pretty extensive. Thanks for sharing and happy growing.
love airoid
Wow
Summer I absolutely love your videos and never get tired of watching them. Thank you for doing more Greenhouse Tours. The information is always primo!! I'll be checking out your Houseplant MasterClass soon. Best Wishes and I'm looking forward to Part 2!!
Thank you for this video.. putting in perspective what it takes to mature the plants we buy.
Plant goals 💚love this tour
Holy crap, it's Polly's dad! He's an alocasia rock star! I'm not worthy...
I really enjoy seeing the difference between nurseries in North America and nurseries in Europe. Also the pricing differences are ridiculous 😅
The prices change drastically from state to state with alot of things in America . In bigger city's stuff is more expensive basically but you can make alot more money in big city's so it even itself out
That was great! Anxiously awaiting to see his private collection!
Great video Summer. I love these behind the scene videos that you do.
So cool! Very informative and interesting video. I have a greater appreciation for Anthuriums and Alocasia. A lot more varieties than I realized.
Absolutely my bigest dream. An alocasia jungle!!!! I‘m in love and i have to get this ‘Sumo‘ varity😍😍😍😍
Summer, thank you for this. Much needed today. 😊
Philodendron birkin are one of those "meh" plants for me. You can get it for £12-15 for a 6-inch pot from a garden centre but I've found them going for £30-40++ on ebay for the same size and sometimes for just a cutting which is ridiculous. I love plants and understand the work that goes into growing them but the prices some people charge is just unjustifiable.
Supply and demand..the only reason they can charge that much is because someone is willing to pay it. I don't get it either
In Missouri, USA, I have not seen them for less than $60. I think Americans are equating the name with the expensive purses that rappers sing about and it is making us feel like they are a bougie urban plant. I'm waiting for the hype to go down and the price as well.
it's being sold for 6.99-14-99 € here in Germany, lately. haha
You're right though, some prices are just ridiculous but there will always be someone who will buy it.
I work at a nursery i just ordered them for 6 dollars each and we do a 2% markup the online sellers do a nice 25% markup
Lilian Richard Agreed - I’m disgusted by orchid species prices in the UK. 2 or 3 sellers in particular are shocking, selling some old back bulbs or 2 cane divisions as flowering size with a price tag to match. If I as as unscrupulous I’d make a fortune!
I love those alocasia plants,,, they are such a lovely giants... but I am inlove with the anthorium bird's nest
You made my quarantine fun. Thoroughly enjoyed.
Those alocasias are beautiful 😍😍😍
I think so too!
Iam obsessed with this stuff! Love it❤️
Will maybe catch up on all your videos one day but it is so much fun. If only all plants could live anywhere. 😍🌴🌲🌵🌿☃️🌊🌪️🌫️🌞❄️⛈️🌠
Nice
Nice video
