- Dear plant lovers,
Welcome back to Dr. Cecilia Koo Botanic Conservation Center, a sprawling 5,000 hectare “Noah’s ark” for plants. This asylum for tropical and subtropical plants is located in the picturesque PingDong county in Southern Taiwan. With an ambitious goal of housing a staggering 40,000 targeted species, this facility is on the way to become the largest shelter for the plant kingdom on Earth by year 2027.
With expertise in Orchids, Begonias, and Gesneriads, Mr Chen will lead us on this journey, expertly sharing care tips and addressing challenges in conservation.
Step into the cool room, where the vibrant subtropical wonders like begonias and gesneriads thrive. Witness the ingenious tank setup that propels plant growth and care efficiency to new heights.
Discover the basics and the compelling "why" behind the innovative technique of plant DNA cryopreservation.
Your jaw will be on the floor when we tour the Begonia greenhouse - a sanctuary boasting over a thousand exquisite begonias. Mr Chen explains why begonias take the forefront in conservation efforts, while revealing their astonishing variety and unexpected contributions to humanity. And don't miss out on valuable tips for nurturing begonias to perfection.
In the Orchid greenhouse, we were rewarded with rare glimpse of endangered orchids and their tragic back stories. Witness the beauty of these orchids and hear uplifting tales of successful conservation endeavors. We took a moment to explore the mysterious and siniseter features hidden within some orchid flowers.
Mr. Chen sheds light on the challenges we face in conservation and presents inspiring solutions. Remember, each of us holds the power to make a meaningful impact in the world of plant conservation. From today onwards, embrace your roles in preserving the beauty and vitality of our planet's botanical treasures.

Ooooh, Mr. Chen is sooooo knowledgeable and right with all he says!!! I wish everyone cared as much about conservation as him. And I had to laugh when he said "plants are always scheming" 😂😂😂
😀😀
Hats off for his mammoth effort. Humans are the most destructive animals on earth ,sadly. Let’s try to save it and nature . Thx you
🙏🏽🙏🏽
The conservation efforts shown here are appreciated more than I can express. Thank you!
Theres hope in this world after all right?
A lot of the asian facilities you visit are far beyond everything we have here in Europe. I really hope this channel will get more views ❤
Thank you. I hope the stories I tell can reach out to more people too! 💌
Some Taiwanese (like me)haven’t known the important conservation center before.
The staffs are so admirable.The tanks they designed do help managing so many fragile begonias.
Mr.Chen reminds us that environment protection is a huge goal for we all human beings to work for.
Thank you for these amazing videos.❤
You’re welcome 😀
Wow just loved this video. So interesting and very sad that so many species are lost. An amazing facility. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you
感謝您。
藉由您的參訪，得以一窺辜嚴倬雲植物保種中心的收藏。
很喜歡秋海棠，經由導覽老師解說，更了解不同品種栽種的細節差異。
Thank you very much。😍
不客气哦😀
12:23 am here in Minnesota and I get to wind down with some premium plant content 😊
Omg that one begonia you focused in on at 4:26 is drool worthy imo 🤤
😀😀😀 hope you will get some quality sleep soon!
@@onlyplants lol I did!
Giving Like 1St before watching 🤭. I'm gonna streaming now 😁
Haha thank youu.
Another informative topic. It's sad to see so much destruction in our world. What's worst is that they are cause by us humans. I hope more people are taking interest in conservation of our planet. Two of the local plant groups I'm in Facebook are into conservation. One is preserving native trees and another one is sharing ideas how to preserve the local pitcher plants and hope the government joins in the effort. Maybe one day they'll have better plans will be able to talk to the government about it. There's one island in particular where pitcher plants are thriving but it was in a mining site. Hopefully people will learn how important all these flora and fauna is to our planet.
I’d like to believe we are getting better and better, and not worse. With more education and nations becoming developed.
Another fantastic video ... I love to see Mr. Chen's passion for conservation!

Hello sir. I am a subscriber and a viewer from the Philippines. I hope you'll do more content on orchids in the future. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! I will do my best
Sean, your mandarin is perfect, thank you for touring Dr. Cecilia Koo's conservation center, amazing plants and efforts.
Thank you ❤️
Gosh the conservation going on in these beautiful places you visit is amazing. So admirable. Thank you for sharing ❤
😀😀
The conservation and rewilding efforts are amazing. If only there are more conservation efforts in SEAsia, like here in the Philippines, we are one of the mega-biodiverse countries, but the desctruction of forests and reefs are pretty alarming.
Yes destruction is bad in Indonesia too. We are still considered a developing nation. 🥹
There are many conservation organisations, if one looks for them. With purchasing Forest Stewardship Council certified products, one can also be assured that those products have been sourced from responsibility managed forests and not contributing to deforestation.
Thank you so much for your astounding efforts to save endangered plants - and the resulting success you have had. May all of your hard work continue to bear Fruit and be Blessed. - Lynda Power (Florida, U.S.A.).
Thank you ❤️❤️

Makasih for this video Sean. Please do us a favor by locating and featuring nurseries that specialize on COLOCASIA, DECORATIVE SPICES, HOYAS, as well as Cacti and Succulents. Don't just focus on tropical plants. DIVERSIFY Mate. 😊❤️ Makasih
Hello, have you seen two episodes I just did on cacti and succulents hehe. Ive also done several hoya episodes before. Unfortunately they are not watched by many.
@@onlyplants oh. I will watch them Sean. I just subscribed. Rest assured I will find those videos. Keep up the happiness
Thank youu
You always have such good content. Thank you!
Thank you🙏🏽🙏🏽
I agree! This is amazing! I thought I knew a lot about conservation, but I learned so much more watching this! I've always dreamed of working for environment conservation! ❤
Great work done by a Great Man. Thank You
Thank you ❤️❤️
What an amazing show, the species and work these people do, thanks.
🙏🏽🙏🏽
Wow didnt expect to see wild orchids....thank you so muchie ❤
❤️❤️ you’re welcome
I'm amazed on how conservative Sinitic languages are like Mandarin. Malayo-Polynesian languages like my mother tongue tend to borrow indiscriminately from English. I enjoyed this tour a lot. Thanks, Sean!
😀
That's a lot variation of plants man ! LIKED
Yayeee ❤️😀
I'm lucky # 13! Haha

❤️❤️
listen to you 讲中文蛮有意思
哈哈谢谢你哦
Hi sir, can I check my monstera albo had a full white leaf and now it is browning off and I guess it will continue to brown off fully. Should I prune away the white leave till the stalk head or I just leave it be ? The next leaf coming out is quite variegated. So I think no need to cut the stem area. This white leaf is currently the top leaf of the plant
I would adjust the care because the white leaf should not brown off so fast. But you can keep the leaf on. The plant actually cannibalizes its of dying leaf to take in the sugar for the plant
@onlyplants thanks for the prompt reply. Always watched your videos for learning.
The new leaf is about 1 month old before it starts to show signs of browning. Now it is getting worse. It is the top leaf and there is signs of another top leaf growing.. my worried is that the whole leaf will eventually brown off and was wondering if I should cut on the sub-stalk connecting the leaf and the main stem to provide the brown to spread to the main stem ?
Wow! I've never heard you speaking Chinese before! Is that Mandarin or Cantonese?
Its mandarin 😀
@@onlyplants thanks, this helps me with my Mandarin listing practice and allows me to look at plants.
@@onlyplants Nice! 🥳
15:15 Lets hope so
🙏🏽🙏🏽
Please makes the subtitle bigger 🙏🙏
Noted 😀
Release plant video
Включіть будь ласка автоматичні субтитри. А то в мене вони недоступні. Дякую
The option of subtitle with auto translate is on. See if you can play around with the video options to turn it on on your end. I just tried it on mine and it worked 😀
Please, can you be careful to put the subtitles available? so we can do the translation in our languages
Wooh unfortunately the auto-subtitle did not generate from youtube due to different base language of Chinese. I have set the main language as chinese for this episode. Lets hope youtube will subtitle it for us! Thanks for letting me know
Hola
Hola 😀
@@onlyplants honestly man I’m excited for this
