- Plant sales have seen a boom on both sides of the Atlantic since the start of coronavirus quarantine measures. Many are hearing the call of the wild for the first time and have responded by bringing the outdoors in. But before Swiss Cheese plants, succulents and aloes started to trend on Instagram, plant and interior stylist Hilton Carter became a household name with a remarkable collection of 300 houseplants in his home and studio in Baltimore...

I too have a plant called George that has shared my living space since 1969
What kind of plant?
It sounds like the old joke of a man with a wooden leg called John. 😁
Wowwwwww
I move a lot and I prefer to pack light, but I've been carrying an akebia around for three years and have a hard time imagining leaving it behind somewhere... I was thinking of naming it Fred
He is a member of the philodendron family and right now I am thinking he may be dead but I’m really hoping he is re-inventing himself under the pot I have him in...... time will tell 🤔
Sometimes, on a beautiful day, I’ll bring all of my plants outside to enjoy the weather and get fresh air. Or during a summer rain I’ll take them all out for a fresh shower.
Very cool
You are a lovely person!
I do this too! 😊🌱💚
When I was in the Philippines, I can take my plants out in the rain, but now I can’t cause I live in the dessert. I could just imagine how beautiful the experience would be being out in the rain with plants.
Oh that is sooo nice 😊
...´´I can´t wait to go home..´´ A wonderful sentence....
So good to see, that l am not the only one who names their plants. I also talk and touch them. They just love it, and show it, by how well they flourish. Naming them, gives them a identity, after all they are living things. Beautiful and decorative.
There’s nothing wrong with you! There’s something wrong with people who think taking care of plants is a chore! I too adore my plants! I’m addicted to that kind of green!😂💚I feel closer to God Almighty when I’m with my plants. I’m part of the plant whisperer team!💚💚💚
I love that you show him washing his plants! They like that so much :) It's such an underrated action for healthy plants.
Before quarantine I has indoor plants which are unhealthy. In quarantine I take care of them more than myself. Now my house became indoor air purifying forest. Taking care of plants increased positive atmosphere and reliefs mental stress.
I have a money plant in a pot since 1993 and I call her mercy .
Now am out in another country for 6 months . Hope she is doing fine at my place in my hometown.
She has taken little or no maintenance but been potted in the oldest normal pot. I jus accidentally came across this video and there are few plants I name them and it builds beautiful relationship.
Thank u for ur video .
This 3 minute video wasn't enough
I agree!
I agree too!
I know! Right???
Oh I agree. This was just a tease. Such lovely plants everywhere, but we didn't get to focus on enough of them. The propagation unit on the wall looked fascinating.
EXACTLY
My kind of life, surrounded by my plants and my fur kids, my heaven 😇
Ps: that fiddle leaf tree at the window.... Wow 😍
Him wiping leaves is so wholesome, I love this video
His home is a like plant conservatory. It is a lifestyle that makes him very happy. Kudos! Plants energizes us in a very special way, similar to pets or a hobby.
Yes it gives energy in a special way. I just don’t know what’s in plants that even when I’m driving, I think about how they’re doing. Like children, I feel so responsible and accountable that I don’t want anything happening to them.
Just beings, friends for many years. So sad when they pass. Sometimes we pray all together at sunrise. Spiritual love.
Ok. This actually makes me feel better about my plant problem. Before quarantine, I had 0 plants. Now I have around 90 (mind you, many of them are air plants). But they make me happy and its a positive place to focus my energy. 😊
Was going to reply the same. Before quarantine i had no business with plants, now i have a dozen of succulents and cacti! There's something in the greenery, when it's there, at home. Man...
I had some plants before quarantine, now my garden looks like a jungle 😉
Lol weirdly me too!
You have well utilized your quarantine period.
Me too!!😃
Congratulations Hilton! It is soo inspire!!! This connection with the plants is amazing...Instead of spending money with a bunch of furniture bring plants to your house, it is a smarter idea. Thank you to share!
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING, VIBRANT, AND JUST SO HEALTHY AND AESTHETICALLY PLEASING. I LOVE THE EDITORIAL STYLE OF YOUR PIECE! It was WAY too short!!!! MORE...MORE...MORE👋👋
I gotta go home and walk my plants
I take my plant for a walk and just sitting on my laps while I am reading or just hold it for some quite times along. I love plants too.
I love how he wipes the leaf 💚...only a life can understand the life they r living around
I don’t see a problem with you, plants are a living creatures.
Ya most most beautiful
Oh my , I think this dear Man is a hero ! What a joy to be surrounded with so much beauty and the fact that he also loves his Cats and Dog makes me smile with delight 😊
Best wishes to him from an Olde English Woman ( and her cat ....😻👵🏼 ) ❤️❤️❤️
All plant loves put your hands up if you speak to your plants and sing to them 🙋🏼♀️
This brotha needs a whole show...
And a piece of land.
I grew an avocado tree during quarantine...I haven't given him a name yet 💕💖🌱🌿
The music, the cinematography and plants too... I felt like I had a vacation 🌴
yes indeed, it is a beautiful video
i bought so many plants during covid lol
Same...I went from 4 to 30+
Me too😅 it helps me reduce stress during pandemic
HadesXY Indeed! I love my greenies 😍
me too, I had 28 before quarantine so I was a plant lover already but now I have 55 lol
Me to!
Less than 10 seconds in I subscribed. This is my green oasis! I love this space. Tranquil. Peaceful. Breathe.
We need a room by room, plant by plant documentary video of this house please.
Only 3 minutes? Love this 🙏🏾
I totally understand that feeling of waking up to the greenery
What an amazing human being! 💖✨ I just started taking care of plants in the last few months. I got a couple before the lockdown but now I feel like I'm starting to understand them 🌿✨✨✨ Thank you for sharing a window into your amazing world.
As you were interacting with the plants it shows how much you love and care for them.
I understand u because I am the same i can’t wait to end my shift then arrived home cook got my children then I just enjoy my plants taking with them it gives me such a beautiful piece
Love love love this!!! I'm working on my green heaven at home too.
I love those wood planters on the wall with the glasses in them!
I would do anything to be around such beautiful greenery! I love plants but I don't know how to take care of them but I keep trying. Love, Love, Love everything need more videos from you. Did I say Love?
Fabulous, and a man after my own heart. I only have 34 plants in my apartment, but they give me life in return in so many ways. Love from England. ❤🇬🇧
Like a Green Heaven
Congrats my friend! You have amazingly beautiful plants and a very nice looking home! Enjoy!
I love my plants, but with watering, fertilizing, dusting, dealing with infestations, etc.... this must be a full-time job.
There are ways to make handling a lot of plants easier ! You can group plants that require similar care: if they are of similar size and getting the same amount of light just check the soil of one and water them all based on that. I do that for my succulents, Prayer plants, and Pothos/Philodendrons/Syngonium. Fittonias and Scindapsus will visibly tell you when they're thirsty so no need to waste time checking. Same for a lot of plants ! (hedera helix, pilea...)
For fertilizing: simply put 1cm of a mix of compost and wormcast on top of your soil every 6 month. There you go you've saved a lot of time !
Dust isn't as terrible for plants as we think it is so if you really don't have time to clean it can wait !
And when it comes to pests if you don't overwater you should be fine ! I'd recommend adding AT LEAST 3 to 5 days to recommendations you can generally read on the internet, they tend to be only good for hot and sunny environments.
The only plants that are TRULY time consuming (and pests baits as well) are the aromatic plants or vegetables because not watering them on time is not an option if you want to eat good food.
I love your place. True, so excited to go home to see my plants. Thanks for sharing. I got some ideas
made me smile through whole video
Superb! The plants in fab condition and I really like the wooden planters attached to the wall.
I know, I've never seen anything like that before.
I would really like those! closest I can find is on etsy. www.etsy.com/listing/786173795/cherry-walnut-hardwood-plant-propagation?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=propogation+wall&ref=sr_gallery-1-9&organic_search_click=1
I agree 100% ,, did you notice how gently he takes care of them,,, happy plants.
Yeah that propagation station looked great for growing healthy new plants. Most of them looked pretty rooted.
It’s beautiful! I love your soul!!!
Love those wood wall test tubes , do you know where I could get some please ?
Man....this was such a vibe 💗
I love plants too!
When you kinda own a home then you can really do things you like at home.. if you don't in a home, you can use plants to make it more like you own it..
Totally agree
Yes! I can’t hang pictures but plants are a way to make my rental mine.
i think about taking my plants for walks too hahahaha
just walking down the sidewalk with a snake plant, a pothos, six succulents, a jade plant, and an aloe plant
*~here some full sunlight for you because i love you so~*
Didn't want the video to end
Oh god, i love that man.
Everything about this is superb and serene! Thank you!
Olá belíssimas suas plantas 👋👋👋 parabéns
I love your video. I am new to plant ownership and loving the process. I went from 3 to 12. I always thought that I could not keep them alive. I talk and sing to them. I am trying to learn, without panic, how much to water and how often. The air quality in my home has noticeably improved. After watching you, I have decided to go plant shopping. I have a question; what do you use to clean your leaves and how often do you clean them?
Loving nature is not a problem, it is the closest connection with our Creator. Do not see your virtue as a problem, see it as a blessing.
Also Hilton is very lucky that he's gifted with this space with tall ceilings and tall windows and beautiful textured walls. The tall ceilings really ease the claustrophobia in a room crowded with plants.. Stylistically, they really work. What I'm trying to say is that not everyone can pull off the indoor jungle tastefully.
The energy of waking up to life around you. So amazing. Beautiful collection.
Oh my goodness I was so engulfed in this video that when it ended I was in shock and I was like oh no.
Perfect home 🥰
He be smiling for that cute cat he has too 😍
I love his home filled with plants - so cool!!!!!
I need more of this video
One thing plant parents have in common, they can’t stop adding more plants. I wipe my plants leaves, but haven’t tried taking them for a walk.
Not yet huh? 😊
Robertina Bell I will buy a small stroller for my plant. Take my favorite plant for a walk at the park. I don’t care if people will say I’m crazy!
This guy seems for me as a more mature version of Kirill Kvetka. They could really understand each other I guess being such amazing gardeners and demiurges both.
Madami din akong halaman sa labas ng bahay, kaya tinignan ko itong video na ito para makakuha ng idea ng indoor plants designs 😁

I'm impressed.
I have some outdoor plants which are quite old and I care for them a lot, but my problem is that no one in my family cares about plants.
So when I am on vacation I am afraid of what will happen.
What do you do about this having so many !!?
so gorgeous!
Style tells those who enter a space, what you’re all about.
This is so amazing!!!
Absolutely love this❤
this man is so beautiful, it is so important to live with a passion.
I love hos cats too... tks!
He perfectly expressed my feelings about plants... Also, he seems like he’d make a good therapist or guidance counselor 🤔
Waoo beautiful place!!! I love plants like you, plants make me happy!!!!
i love plants
Wow brother u are just like me when I see my plants l smile
ur friends who thought your crazy before, now they're probably going crazy in quarantine
You have such an amazing and beautiful energy God Bless you always!❤🙏✌you created an amazing sanctuary, like the garden of eden, you have a gift,, I love plants, but they dont love me😢, I don't have a green thumb, they either die, or get disease. I need very low maintenance plants. Love, love your home!😊🌱☘🌿🍀🌳❤
I can't wait to go home... Awesome well said..🖤♥️
Wow, I can relate.
My dream house
What a beautiful video!!!! 💜💜💜
Heaven on Earth.
AMAZING 💚
Last birth sure these sort of people were mindful humans once lived in beautiful places full of nature
I love how he honors each plant with dedicated attention, even wiping the leaves with such care. I wish this video had been longer.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with you. My apartment was my oasis, my sanctuary. And I've always had a lot of plants. The sunlight , the air changed my mood as soon as I stepped inside. I miss that apartment. Now I'm working on having a food forest. Our ancestors started in a garden. Why are we surprised that we need plants in our lives and feel better when we are in that environment?
BEAUTIFUL! Thanks for sharing...please where did you get, the wooden planters with glass vessels at? Thank you#
Amazing!
Beautiful
wooow. I loove your place. My mom is exactly the same like you, surrounded by milions of plants. I never understood it, until now. And I also started to surround myself with beautiful plants
This is a wonderful video and it made me think a lot about how plants create a comforting space for me. Looking at dormant plants in my house through the colder months brings a comforting sense to my heart, as someone who is very impacted emotionally by season changes (especially from fall to winter). Watching their life cycle, I remember that everything is okay and that life keeps moving forward.
I can relate with him totally!
I was like this since i was a child
MAGNIFICO EU AMO AS PLANTAS EU TENHO MUITAS ADORO O VERDE É SIMPLESMENTE LINDO BEIJINHOS AQUI DE PORTUGAL
Excelent. ! Awesome!!!
Cool!
Nice!
I know the feeling
How do the plants grow so well without direct sunlight?
Total viewing mistake
I didn't ask to see this
But... I am glad I did. Bravo.💪😍👍
Plant haven ❤
