Discover Singapore’s Exotic Plant Community and Market! Botanica Exotica Aroid Competition
ฝัง

- Singapore is a grower's paradise. Some of the best collectors and growers are found in this tiny tropical island nation. Here’s why…
The government incentivizes gardening as a means to green up the city and address food security.
There’s a free flow of information exchange and tremendous support from plant communities.
A strong gardening culture and appreciation for nature have been passed down through generations.
A strong economy and high disposable income mean more budget for personal hobbies.
A high education level results in innovative citizens-and gardeners.
Finally, and my favorite, a smooth import and export process means Singaporeans can freely trade a huge diversity of plants and a wide variety of plant care products.
See for yourself in the full episode as I guest judge for the Botanica Exotica Aroid competition and tour an exciting plant market."

Thank you Sean for another great tour!
It was quite interesting that the Leah Zippeliana lost its pattern as the leaves became larger. Also, Jay from Plantophila was so informative. And the way he carried his Medinilla by hand to the show…such dedication!💚
I adore Jay so much as a seller. His passion really shines through
Good to see my kababayan are go international plants espo .. im so happy they bring our local plants to the market 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Sean, you are trullu Thoughtful and Thorough as a guide and commentaor for providing rare background details of plants and contact info of retail participants even elaborating description items they themselves miss for the sake of plant lovers to access that many vloggers would not have filled us in. You are No. 1 🏆🥇
This is so kind, thank you so much ❤️
Gorgeous plants indeed, I always enjoy watching these videos, thank you!

Awesome to see so many young people immersed in the plant world! Incredible place to be and thanks for sharing in your video. Your hard work producing them is much appreciated.
Got to see a large Strongylodon macrobotrys vine in bloom at McKee Botanic Garden in Vero Beach, Florida. Spectacular!! Didn’t believe the color of the flowers really existed until I saw them in person.
So many creative growers and potters!
Thank you ❤️ I feel lucky too

Very very beautiful
Thank you ❤️
Thanks Sean...another great video. So many beautiful plants. I have a Tiny Dancer..slow grower for me. Also have a Jade vine..surprised to hear they're difficult to propogate..will have to give it a try. 😊
Haha let me know if you find out anything about the jade vine propagation
Amazing show! It would be a dream of mine to visit one of these someday. The mini bonsai are actually called Mame for the extra tiny ones and Shohin for slightly larger styling forums. Thanks so much for the tour, it was really amazing! 👍
Whoaa thanks for the share, I enjoyed that nugget of information.
Really enjoyed 🤩💙🌿 till the end. Love from India.
Your videos are always very informative, I always learn many plant names 💮. Beautiful sharing.
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
I love animals and plants!!!!!
Me too 🥹
gorgeous
🥰🥰
Welcome back to SG. Nice and (somewhat) peaceful video which I adored. That Philippines gentleman mentioned about difficulty to propagate this certain plant to "propagation king" to which he said "really?" 😊
Haha propagation challenge on 🙈
I'll be visiting this year so I hope there's something on while I'm there!!! Pity I can't bring them back home with me to Australia but it'll be a nice feast for my eyes hehe 😆 Thanks for sharing it with us Sean ☺🙏🏼
Thank youu. Some pots etc can be nice to take back 😀
Will def be on the lookout 😊
Great content t!! ❤ May I know which plant show is this and if it’s held on a yearly basis in Singapore?
It was cool to see the wild version of the ZZ plant! Wow! I have to admit . . . as pretty as the wild version is, I prefer my bulbous boy at home. ^^
Haha they have been selectively bred to please us more. Think of the original dog species and all the bred varieties we love today 😀😀
@@onlyplants I wonder if they bred it with philo Fat Boy? Is that possible?
Another great place to spend waaay to much money😆🤩
Haha yes. The sellers were so knowledgeable its hard to resist too!
The Alocasia tiny dancer isn’t easy to care for in my opinion, I tried two different ways and they both ended up repropogating in water and even then died down to 1 leaf for months before I gave up
Those caladiums at the first booth are everywhere here in south western Canada, they’re not cheap, but abundant, they go dormant here in winter or die so we treat them more like annuals
I learnt so much in this comment, thanks for sharing ❤️
I love my Tiny Dancers…so do the spidermites.
Haha as an alocasia I can imagine
Will go there on August 🥰
If you are coming to Singapore in August you might want to check out the Singapore Garden Festival, happening at Suntec (3 - 11 August 2024).
❤️❤️
Thank you, this is so helpful
👌🏻🥰👍🏻
Thank you ❤️
I want i want i want!!!!
🙈🙈🙈
very nice video lovely plants as always, i find it funny how they don't want people to know what's in their water with the organic fert hehe, Here in NZ they have to divulge what things are added most of those ferts are mostly water its almost the next get rich scheme lol. Keep up the great work bud. Hope you found your Mum.
Thank you. I would imagine their key ingredients would be the selling point but perhaps they were more worried about competition
@@onlyplants Yeah Seaweed is a great organic ingredient. maybe some worm casting juice hehe. watered down plenty so never burns the leaves but helps green it up at the same time, to be honest if people are trying to save the environment they should look into the true costs. Just shipping these product around the world doing more damage to the environment and most of these products are 80 percent water. would make more sense to sell a more concentrated form with less weight and storage being flown all around the world being less damaging, I'm not getting at people for running a business but a lot of people seem to be doing this these days so many little popup fert companies with their claims to wonder foods when they are all the exact same product with a different name, I Just Believe as a plant grower people should be more aware and concerned about what's in the product, and spare a thought on how much more effort goes into flying millions of litres of water around the water when it should be sold more as a concentrate its really stupid when you look at the logistics.
L❤ve it
Thank you ❤️
❤

A lot of plants grow wild around me in Indonesia,West Borneo

Why do they look like they need water..is the event outdoor?
Yes and it was very windy day 🫣
Semoga di Indonesia ada kayak gini nusatic kurang umkmnya cuman sponsor company gede😢
This weekend adaaaa. Di PIK IDD but its smaller event. Moga moga ada more
Hey Sean, I am thinking about doing a show similar to that in the Cayman Islands. We don’t have that many variety as I see there in Singapore. Is there a way we could link up and have you help us with plants and planning. Let me know
My name is Kirk
I dont think Im qualified to advice on plant shows as I am usually just a spectator. It might be wise to gather the suppliers (sellers and nurseries) list first to see who would be up for it. Then the rest is all about marketing and finding high foot traffic area (and a holiday). Hope this helps
Have any water soluble fertizer in Singapore???? 🤔🤔🤔
Im sure there must be!
How can I have those plants in India,is there any option
You will need a business import license to bring in plants into India legally. Its not an easy country to receive international plants 🙈
❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👏🇺🇸
❤️❤️❤️ thank you
Real Crazy Rich Asians!
Yes 🥹
you can tell it's Singapore because most people are in shorts and slippers.
Haha yes but also its a public holiday, the area I was in was actually the office towers so normally we would have seen very uptight dressy people instead
Everything is chemical🙄
😅
180k...Very nice work..subs kr liya hai
Yayeee thank you
