You got some lovely plants at the event & I’m sure ppl got good info from your presentation Memo!
Thank you, Carol! 😊 I'm glad you enjoyed the plants and yeah hopefully they enjoyed the presentation. It was such a fun event! 🌿🌸
Belated Happy Birthday! 🥳🎉💝Thanks for the extra footage of the RHS Spring Festival. Looks like plant heaven! I’m surprised you didn’t have a bigger stash when you got home. You have more self control than me. 😂
Thank you, Erana! 🎉😊 It was hard to resist buying even more! 😂🌿
🇦🇺🙋🏻 so glad you had great time at the show, and seriously, who wouldn't buy plants from that kind of plant gathering 😉 certainly saves on shipping🤣
I was lucky enough to go to Malvern on the Saturday and watched your talk very interesting thank you. Interested to see your orchids grow and bloom. I could have spent a fortune so many gorgeous plants and things
Awww I am glad you came and super glad you found it interesting 😁😁😁. I know right it was so tempting with all the lovely plants on sale
Thank you Memo !
HAPPY B-day, Memo!!!
Thank you, Joseph! 🎉😊
Hi Memo, I’m glad you enjoyed the Plant Show 😀 I saw you in the background of Claire’s video speaking. It looked like a fabulous show 😀🇨🇦
Beautiful plants you picked out! Thanks for the video
Thank you, Jenn! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! 😊🌿
Happy Birthday Love!
Thank you so much, Nicole! 💖😊
I seen a glimpse of you on the RHS stage on somebody else’s TH-cam. Well, it looked like you. I enjoy every one of your videos And you always make me smile.
That’s so cool to hear, Doreen! 😊 I’m glad my videos bring you joy! Thanks for watching! 🌟
Lophophora - they are quite easy to care for. Hold off the watering when they are still very firm, wait till they start go "give" a little. You'll get a feel for it. They do need sun, but watch it during the summer - they do burn. Morning sun is safe. If you want to see them flower, don't water from the end of October unitl the end of Feb, and overwinter in an unheated room (10-15 degrees).
Great tips, thank you! 🌿 I’ll definitely follow these care instructions. 😊
Nice displays. I wouldn’t be able to resist purchasing either.
I totally thought you bleeped over a very different word when you said the name of your new cactus 😂
And then I was very surprised to see what it was.
Your enthusiasm is so contagious. Sounds like you had a great birthday and weekend. Love it!
Thanks for sharing bits of it with us.
Haha, I can see how that might happen! 😂 Thanks for the kind words! I had a fantastic time and I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 😊🎉
.. Woah, what a place you've been to Memo 😳☺️ no wonder why you couldn't resist buying plants.. I certainly wouldn't either.. I would have bought a lot of plants for sure ☺️😍.. And your video tour around the place was like "oh no wait, wait go back, to the left.. No wait, the other one.. Look at that.. Ohh wow".. I even cought myself trying to look around a "corner" or behind something, and that's not very easy when watching on a screen 📺😅..
.. You certainly got high temps in UK 🤗 we've "only" had just about 25c in Denmark.. Only nights are still to the cooler side, just between 8 - 13c..
Haha, thank you! It was such an amazing place with so many plants to see. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour! 😊 And yes, the weather has been surprisingly warm! ☀️
Happy birthday, Memo!🎉
Thank you so much, Agnes! 🎉 It was a memorable birthday indeed! 😊
Creo que la Ceropeguia sandersonii te va a asombrar , da unas flores bien singulares y grandes , le gusta mucha luz y aún más si quieres que tenga una buena y abundante floración , tierra aireada y no dejes secar del todo el sustrato pese a se una suculenta , es más bien de crecimiento lento , pero con tiempo alcanza tamaños grandes y que la gusta trepar pero también se puede cultivar como colgante ; bonitas plantas , me encantan las orquídeas , todas ! . 👍💌
¡Muchas gracias por los consejos, María! 🌸 Estoy emocionado por ver cómo crece la Ceropegia sandersonii. Me alegra que te gusten las plantas y las orquídeas. ¡Son mis favoritas también! 😊👍💌
Amethyst is a well known and loved hybrid. Congrads. The second perent is gorgeous laelia purpurata. It's considered to be a big cattleya, (not as good fit for mounting). I have like 5 color vars of them. 😝 Encyclias. Same culture with cattleyas +- Packing other media around instead of repotting is great strategy. Hope they will bloom soon.
Memo what a nice selection of newbies you acquired! And may I say, you are so entertaining as well as informative, absolutely love love how your personality comes through in your videos! ❤
Fantastic B-roll at the end 👏👏👏 I'm so glad that the new girls have all settled in together now, I didn't think you'd have too much trouble with them. And what a great selection of plants you bought home. I am really interested in your experience with the new poles, and those janky support sticks look awesome! Janky support sticks for the win 😂
Thank you so much, Carey! 😊 I’m glad you enjoyed the video and the new poles are definitely fun to work with! 😂🌿 Yup girls are slowly settling in, I jinxed it with the video i think the last 48 hours have been a bit intense for one of them, the old top of the pecking order, but they are stabilising again.
Oh My!!!!! You bad boy......
Haha, couldn’t resist the plants! 😅🌿
I bought 2 cheap calatheas last year to experiment with at the same time that I bought API Stress Coat, nearly a year on and they’re both still alive and thriving. I would thoroughly recommend using the API. I now use it in all watering of my plants. The Calatheas did initially have browning tips but have no issues at all and are growing well
That's awesome to hear, Susan! 🌿 Thanks for the tip about API Stress Coat. I'll definitely give it a try! 😊
It's a fun that you got Legendary Cactus. I received one as a gift. It is same age as me. It is big as a baby's head. There are varieties of lophophora. I also have one that grows like a bush (I don't know how to call it properly). In our country they are absolutely legal to have. There is an opinion that for certain effect it is got to be over 20 years old, and grown in the natural conditions. Anyways, to eat cactuses is not wise at all.
Please be careful with watering.
❤🎉 your purchases and emotions.
Wow, that sounds incredible! 😊 Thanks for the tips and sharing your experience with the cactus. Happy planting! 🌿
Awesome buys! The peyote is so cool. Beautiful show 💚
Thank you, Sherry! 😊 The peyote is definitely a unique addition. So glad you enjoyed the footage of the show! 💚
That plant Show sound so interesting. I have never seen those moss poles before. Do keep us updated how they work, please.
I watched your video while detangling and trimming my String of Hearts. Your new plants look amazing and I'm hoping they all settle in nicely.
I love your orchid collection and would love another video about orchids in the future ❤
As for the most asked about plant at the plant clinic: I would have expected the P. melanochrysum. It seems to be fussy for everyone.
Calatheas never even crossed my mind. They are for me one of the easiest plants, but I also have really soft water in my city.
Sounds like the perfect activity for plant videos! 😊 I'm so happy you enjoyed it. I'll definitely consider doing another orchid video soon. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the plant clinic favorites! 🌿❤
Happy to hear you had great time at the event :-) Cool new plants - no suprise you couldn´t resist :-)
Thank you! 😊 It was an amazing event and the plants were just too tempting! 🌿
Thank you for Sharing beautiful succulent and cactus lovely collections plants lovely video happy planting
Thank you, Jillian! 😊 Keen to see how it grows! 🌿
Thank you, I was literally scalding myself for having zero selfcontrol, Ecuagenera large haul this month and working on another one from tropicals next month, i bought myself a lot of work for next few months 😢😢😂😂 I'm not alone, love your content by the way
You’re definitely not alone! 😂 We plant lovers stick together. Thanks for the support! 🌿😊
You're such an inspiration ❤
Aww, thank you so much, Angela! Your support means the world to me! ❤️🌟
x sib = sibling cross, the plant is the progeny from two siblings being crossed together. E. cordigera is known for its rose scent, I really like it
Thanks for the info it is much appreciated! 🌿 The rose scent sounds lovely. 😊
It was a pleasure meeting you on the Saturday after your fabulous talk. I still need to get my partner Phil to download his pictures so i can send you your Madonna moment!! 🎧💁♂️
Another great video and I loved your plant haul. I would also love to know your honest feedback on the soil ninja poles, ive been very curious about them too!
Memo, you're a hoot! 😂
I was sure you'd be at Malvern when I saw (on GW) that they had a houseplant marquis.
I have a Ceropegia sandersonii and I love it! Such a weird and wonderful plant!
It's a slow grower for me but it flowers often.
❤
I’ve found all the Cattleya alliance Brassavolas included do much better just in bark with a fast wet dry cycle. Of all the orchids I have the cattleyas need to get almost totally dry. I have a David sander I grow it in lava rock I only water it once a week. For reference I live in a high desert climate. The sphagnum moss is probably going to stay to wet.
Great insights, @joshriebsomer7820! 🌿 Thanks for sharing your experience with the Cattleya alliance. I'll definitely keep that in mind for my next orchid care routine! 😊
Me looking at my beautiful Clarinervium and telling it that it shall remain an only child with no anthurium siblings 🤣
I have certain plants I’ve added to my “retirement/no teenagers in the house” list, so she shall remain this way until my 3 children have flown the nest and I have time to pamper teenage strop throwing green things 🫣
"sib x "means it is crossed to a sibling , Encyclia and Brassavola are really easy Cattleya alliance hybrids. Very tolerant if varying conditions and can even grow in almost direct sun. Just don't touch them outside the growing season or they'll get set back.
I have a rad x lux anthurium I love him, putting out a giant leaf now, grows pretty quickly.
Oops, I did it again! I got myself a plant, no-one can tell me I can't.
Oh, baby, baby...
Oops, I think I'm in love, I just can't get enough-ough-ough-ough...
'Cause I'm crazy for houseplants!
Oh, baby, baby...
Oh, baby, baby...
I just got myself an Alocasia odora, while I should be spending my money on clothes that fit. Oh, well. There's always next month!
Haha, love this! 🎵🪴 Houseplants over clothes any day! 😊🌿
Peyote cactus. In the US only native American can grow and use it for ritual
Yes, that's right. Thanks for sharing that info! 😊
Janky support stick 2.0?! Bio-based climbing support stick. :D
En-sick-Lea
Amazing, thanks, i was thinking that I was butchering the name, this really helps 🙌
When he bleeped, I honestly thought he was saying "butthole".
Haha, I can see how that might happen! 😂 Glad you enjoyed the video! 😊
Why are the leaves on your biggest beauty are a bit brown? It's not a tragedy, but it looks a bit sad. I finally got my Esme Philo. Yours made me dream about it. Mine is a baby with 3 (3 inch) leaves. For such a festival, you've got a lot of self control!
Congrats on your Esmeraldense Philo! 🌿 The brown leaves happen at this time of the year for me as the sun intensifies, but it will stabilise soon . Thanks for watching! 😊
The regal x Lux is much easier than its parents, however very hungry.
Definitely harder then the Mag Lux though.
You can be flagged for saying "peyóte"?! So, even if it’s legal in the country where you’ve posted the video? Wow. TH-cam needs to rethink some things… a lot of things lol.
On that note, I’ve been seeing a few TH-camrs adding _Lophophora_ to their collections lately. Seems to be a new trend coming on. Most people, not all though, are aware it contains mescaline. And also the San Pedro cacti all contain mescaline, albeit at a much lower concentration than Lophophora. It’s a weird chemical, not really comparable to any other psychedelic. Vaguely reminiscent of LSD/acid, perhaps… Mainly it’s found in _Trichocereus_ species like pachanoi, peruvianus, and bridgesii (the last one has a monstrose, spineless form called “penis cactus”). I don’t know the current taxonomic updates, but these are the South American cacti used by Andean shamans, whereas pèyote is North American and Mexican. From what I’ve read, Lophophora is many times stronger, and packed into small, round plants. San Pedro is far less strong, plus its mescaline content is spread out over a large, columnar cactus.
I’ve drank San Pedro many times with friends, but never done Lophophora. The fact that I’ve never once seen anything, hallucinated or had any out of body moments tells me how weak SP cactus really is! However, if I did Lophophora, I’d want a shaman or a “trip sitter”. Just to respect the plant energy. What I’ve read of that is it’s incredibly mentally powerful, emotionally charged, and can be like a waking dream. I’ve often wondered if my San Pedro experiences were so relaxed and easy BECAUSE the plant refused to show us the full power it possesses… it “knew” we were being casual about it? Hence why I think all plant-based psychedelics, including cannabis, are supposed to be done by candlelight, at night, indoors, laying down. Meditate and reflect. Even sleep. Preferably be there with a shaman. People take shrooms in broad daylight and wonder why they have a bad trip. Lol.
Yes, it’s a bit tricky with the guidelines! Hopefully, they’ll make some adjustments. Thanks for sharing your experiences and insights, Erik! It’s always fascinating to learn more about these plants and their uses. 😊
Hi Memo, I have been using Kratiste poles for about 9 months now. My experiences are mixed. Some plants, such as Philodendron Sagittifolium, literally cling to the moss pole and can not be moved at all. 👍Other philodendrons (e.g. philodendron painted lady) do not make use of the moss pole at all. 🥱Basically, this is not surprising to me, because while tree bark occasionally gets wet, Kratiste stays dry.🤓 If the thin Kragtiste sticks will work for my juvenile epipremnum time will tell.
The poles can be easily expanded using connecting pieces and can also be divided carefully with a good pair of secateurs, an option I use for young plants. Kratiste also produces plank-like flat "boards" that are great for some plants. The ingenious thing is that the rough surface imitates tree bark. The only problem I can see is the lack of moisture. By the way, you can easily moisten the poles without them breaking, but they obviously don't retain moisture. So much for my little experience report. I look forward to your experiences.
Luxurians are divas? 😳Why didn't anyone tell me this?🤭 Keep your fingers crossed for mine.
Yours from Germany Dörthe
Hi Dörthe! Thanks for sharing your experience with Kratiste poles. It’s interesting to hear how different plants react. I’ll keep your tips in mind as I use them more. Fingers crossed for your luxurians! 🌿🤞😊
