Admist the vast array of youtubers focused on growing many of these plants indoors and replicating the natural growing environment it is a really cool to see this you growing plants in an environment that naturally optimizes their growing potential. I think it's just a matter of time before people take notice and your channel blows up. Keep up the incredible work, I look forward to the next video.
Thank you so much for the comment, it means a lot! I hope you are right with your prediction, it would be lifechanging for us. Considering how much money exists in the world . . . if we could get just a fraction to be able to purchase at risk or degraded forests and create forest restoration teams to tackle degraded forests wherever they are . . . . well it would be an absolute dream with a tangible and hugely positive output at scale! We will keep dreaming, thank you for watching and helping to make that dream a reality!🙏🏼💚🌳
Thank you!! Most of them should do just fine and the next chapter will bring lots of brilliant new plant opportunities with it, both for our existing plants and new ones!
Yes I also visited there once as a child many moons ago and was fascinated. Such an incredible place and people!!! Our main mission now, if we can raise the funds and find a suitable property, is to set up a botanical sanctuary and garden here in Goa. With a bit of luck that project will get the green light soon, in which case this channel will show the entire process of how we build that from scratch, which is super exciting!
thank you! Yes we will be in this spot for a month or two whilst we take stock and assess the new horizon and then make the decision about where, what and how the new step will be!
Start a nursery or see if you can relandacape any resorts or properties in the area, you have green thumbs and you will grow your resources.@@JungleCitizens
most of these will stay put, including all the ones in the ground. This place is owned by a dear friend, our Goan godfather of sorts, so it will make his place really beautiful and we can come and take cuttings or suckers whenever we need to. So for many plants this is their new home, but for the wider project and ourselves it's a stopover to gather our thoughts before we take the next step.
that's a big part of the plan and we are already involved in restoration efforts, tree plantations on roadsides and working on a few other properties, which we will do videos on in the coming weeks and months. With a bit of luck we will get some wildscaping work where we can weave native species into the landscaping and find more forest properties to restore on a larger scale too! We just need to get better at actually charging people money, that's the most important bit in this world and the bit we are least good at!!!
Thank you, for sure most of them will and hopefully we will soon have another forest spot for the ones that just need the forest as their home (like us!!)
Thank you! Yes this is a temporary stop off, because we are really looking to take on a large forest or forest adjacent property because that is where we can have the biggest positive impact by restoring the native biodiversity. This is a temporary stop owned by our adopted Goan Godfather, who is an absolute gem of a human and puts so much of his time, energy and resources into planting trees, advocating for nature, cleaning huge tracts of garbage and many other things. So these plants being planted will stay here as their forever home and when we find our new forest we will bring pups or cuttings from here!
Thank you, it's been really great to have you on board. I'd love to see some of your collection too, I suppose you're quite into palms? Whereabouts are you located?
Congratulations on your move may you put down deep roots and thrive not just survive. Watching from the FL Keys and Puerto Rico Cloud Forest, epipremnum aurum money plant pothos become invasive throughout tropical regions, Plant more natives.
Thank you! And yes, planting more natives is absolutely the way forward, and frankly banning the sale of known invasive like money plant's in regions where it is known to be invasive. Here you can buy it everywhere, as you can buy Lantana and Sphagneticola, all of which are beginning to run rampant!
What a mission! Well done. Love the pack of doggos. Do they provide a service apart from friendship etc? Snake patrol? Monkey scarers etc? MIne help control possums and rats which are a huge pest here in NZ sadly. We had no predatory mammals here until humans impoted them and the damage they do to forests and birdlife is huge.
Thank you! Yea it was quite a mission! The dogs main service is for sure the friendship side of things and they are great at letting us know if there are other animals or people around . . . . sometimes very annoyingly if they start barking like mad! But since we work in biodiversity restoration, conservation and so on they have lived with animals since they first joined us, whether as tiny puppies or adults. For that reason they are generally very friendly with most other creatures, especially snakes since they are some of our dearest friends along with the birds! Our dog's are like yours though, they do go for rats when they are inside or around our living areas, which is fine for us. If the snakes don't get them then the dogs can, because they are also a pest here, though no where near the level that they are for biodiversity in New Zealand! That really is a very good example of how invasive have decimated a unique ecosystem :( and ultimately how it's humanities fault in the end.
So we started an Indian company and are here on a business visa. It's still very complicated and requires residency or visa extension every 6 months which is a very drawn out process, but we are able to stay. That said, this is one of the main reasons why the project we are now looking for will be our last one in India. Our hope is to be able to set up both a botanical garden and sanctuary that will provide a valuable service to biodiversity and conservation and will be open for the public to provide an educational service and true ecotourism opportunity and a forest restoration and wildscaping service provider for landowners and people that want to make their garden a little wilder, more beautiful and biodiversity friendly. That project we hope will become an intergenerational one that we can pass on to people within the local community with the passion, dedication and love needed to take on something like that. Our plan then is to move to a country that will allow for genuine permanent residency or citizenship and where land prices are not so high to allow us to somehow gather enough funds to buy as much at risk and/or degraded tropical forest as our funds allow. That land will then become our true home where we know visa's or other issues won't get in the way and where we can be sure the work we put into restoration will have a lasting impact. It would also be so nice to for once be able to experience the process of the restoration and considering just the initial phase to an initial level of maturity takes 15 years our human lifetime means it would be great to find that site ASAP!! That forest, wherever in the world that will be (Belize, Peru, Colombia, Panama and Costa Rica are all serious possibilities) will then become our base camp, will also become a botanical sanctuary and eco village and the operational hub for what we hope can be an effective and impactful organisation that can provide skills, expertise and implementation of large scale ecosystem restoration projects in and adjacent to tropical forests. thanks for watching by the way . . . . it really does help this whole thing to become a possibility sooner!

Nice to see your plants set in new place happily
thank you 💚 baby steps!
I really hope you get to take care of all your babies at the new place and they get to stay there as long as they can. 🤗🥰
Thank you!! Most of them should do just fine and the next chapter will bring lots of brilliant new plant opportunities with it, both for our existing plants and new ones!
So great to see the plants adjusting so well 💚
Thanks Purvy, they are mostly doing well which is great. hope we can find the forever home for them soon!
What got me going on my plant journey was visiting Kew Gardens in the 70's seeing all those tropicals including that giant stinky Lilly.

Amazing video! Thank you!
Thank you!
I hope you can stay at one place one day so you can let your plants rest and grow as well as you all! I hope the doggies do okay.
thank you! Yes we will be in this spot for a month or two whilst we take stock and assess the new horizon and then make the decision about where, what and how the new step will be!
Oh gosh, I didn’t realize you’d only be there a month or so. Do you think your plants will survive another move?

You're doing an amazing work, i hope you can find permanent and better place for you, the dogs and the plants
Thank you so much . . . we are very hopeful, even more so having this channel and you guys giving us so much support and encouragement!!
Hoping all the beautiful plants can adapt!🌱
Thank you, for sure most of them will and hopefully we will soon have another forest spot for the ones that just need the forest as their home (like us!!)
I noticed that you use the word temporary. I hope you find a permanent place for your project❤🤞🙏💫

Love watching your videos…
Thank you, it's been really great to have you on board. I'd love to see some of your collection too, I suppose you're quite into palms? Whereabouts are you located?
@ I’m in Victoria,B.C Canada. My palm collection is very limited as we are in zone 8a
@@Palmguy222 oh yes, pretty cold up there! Certainly a very different and alien ecosystem for us!
@@JungleCitizens we do grow colocasia,Alocasia sand bromeliads to name a few as annuals. I have a small greenhouse where I grow and hybridize
Orchids.
May the doggies, the plants and the earth hold you through this transitory period.
thank you so much, we will get through it and our next project will be bigger and more impactful still!
Keep going your doing a great thing
thank you 🙏🏼🌿🌱

It is my first time on your channel and I have just subscribed. Thank you so much for sharing. Keep up the good work. All the best on this journey

interesting, so how does it work for visas if you don't mind me asking? married a local lady? India for me was 6month max if I remember well.
So we started an Indian company and are here on a business visa. It's still very complicated and requires residency or visa extension every 6 months which is a very drawn out process, but we are able to stay.
