- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ส.ค. 2024
- First import of 2022 🤩 I ordered 5 plants from Ecuador (Tropicals Equaflor-a) and 1 plant from Thailand so far this year, and as luck would have it both shipments arrived in the same week. Join me in unboxing the plants and starting the rehab process!

I love these longer videos!!! Keeps me company while I clean and I don’t have to worry about finding something new to watch every 10 minutes :)
You and Charmaine are just amazing! Love following y’all and the good vibes your videos give ❤️
Thank you so much 🥺❤️❤️
Every my one of them are very pretty
That is amazing that leaf on that first plant you opened, the sp Columbia is the size of your entire torso. Absolutely stunning.
Please don't be surprised. I am recently subscribed and I am not getting distracted by anything while I am watching them. 🌱❤🌱❤ Thank you 🌱
That second sp Colombia is ridiculous!!! Thanks for this video. It calmed my nerves about how I set up my first import 🤞🤞🤞
You’re gonna do great!!!
Great to hear your advices about importing!!! Very useful. Thanks a lot and hugs from Belgium :)
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for the video! Yes, please update! :) 💚
Daaaannnnggggg 👀 Nice haul, that massive Columbia had me drooling 🤤🤭 Love your videos girl, I’m glad you started up a channel 🤍🤗
Thank you Natasha 🥺🥰
Charmaaaaaaaaaine 😂😂😂😂 my beginda would be getting numb. I love these ladies
I really enjoyed the video, great information and you do not ramble too much. I really needed to know how this works, the el choco has been rocking my world for a while on my third one but the second one is still alive just had to start all over you and Charmaine give my hope please do an update on this order they are all gorgeous!!!! 💚
[Disclaimer: long a** comment?]
Exactly the type of content I needed 💚 Google searches can't do justice and it's hard to find gardens that carry all those so thank you, thank you so much for helping us see the subtle differences. Budding collector here (pardon the pun?). Seriously considering importing as well so Ecuaflora (?) should thank y'all haha
Also, random silly question: is your hair naturally that gorrrjjj? Care tips please and thank you 🙏
Note to self: comment on Charmaine's channel too (haven't finished watching her vid yet - just the unboxing bit. Was saving it for plant care weekends like always haha)
Thank you so much!! ❤️
And my hair is curling iron curled almost all of the time and I’m too cheap to get regular haircuts 🤣
I love tree fern fiber for rooting chonks! It’s great on its own and as an additive. And the best part is that it is SO much easier to take the substrate off the roots once you’re ready to repot.
This makes me very excited! I will have to make this bag stretch as long as possible 😂
Wow! You hit the jackpot on the big Columbia 💚💚 I always take off Ann of the secondary roots right away also. You made me laugh with the dangling Anthurium root comment because that’s exactly how I do it too 🤣🤣 As always another great video.
Does it dangle or does it DANGLE?
Loved this video and would love to see an update. Also hope the hoya is doing well
Love the video. The second SP Columbia looks more like a Philo. Rubrocinctum Platinum. It amazes me how Philos look a lot alike.
Yes the emergent leaf does look like rubro!
Love Gilberto 💚💚 Gorgeous plants 😍😍
Beautiful plants.
I would pot the Hoya a litte deeper, to have more surface to root from, right underneath the node.
Very nice addition's to your plant collection. I must say very dissapointed to see your hoya & the condition it arrived in any chance of contacting the seller am sure that would qualify for replacement, I have only ever have had to do this once which is fantastic with the 100's I have in my collection. I wish you good luck with your hoya. Thank you for this jaw dropping content 😱 the aroids are simply stunning.
Thank you so much Tracy!! ❤️
The Hoya was definitely disappointing, I’ve thought about contacting the seller but I just don’t wanna make a fuss 😅 I’ll do my best with it but I probably won’t order from them again
I love Hoya’s. Sometimes i cannot get mature ones and only come in baby ones. Those come in a cocoa coir plugs until there roots are fully established but you can repot them straight into soil. And keep them in grow lights helps there developments and out of there baby phase into young adults. I was never a fan of Monstera, Anthurium any leafy plants. We all have our favourites mine is Hoya’s, Sansevieria, Euphorbia, Succulents and only my Alocasia Dragon Scale and Alocasia Sinuata. Since i have a hard time with Alocasia’s. Philodendron i only like my White Princess and Pink Princess also hard time with this species too. My only favourite Scindapus is the Moonlight Treubii and the dark form one. Removing the sheets in plants and cleaning the roots and cleaning the chunks is definitely satisfying and therapeutic.
Sooo therapeutic!!
I like your videos
Thanks for sharing. Hope that hoya is doing okay! Just looked for it online, and it seems pretty rare.
oh also hi me again please do an update video of these plants!! I'm praying for that hoya!
THANK YOU FOR THE THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS
Came for the plants but your hair is gorgeous. Yes update please.
Tent tour?
Thank you Latoya 🥺🥺
Updated plant room/tent tour is on the list but I have some tinkering I wanna do in the room first!
I am glad I found your video :D I recently ordered from equagenera and I too went a little overboard. The plants weren't too expensive on their own but the whole order was kinda a lot of money for a first import ever lmao so I am quite anxious. At this point I am prepared to have no roots and/or a chunk in a few days after the import cause I heard a lot of different stuff 😅
Gonna buy some rooting hormone and get my castille soap ready 🌿 thanks for showing the clean up process and explaining everything you do, that was really helpful! Fingers crossed that they won't arrive that bad :D
After 3 weeks since you uploaded the video, are your philodendron roots a little more established?
Love this video!!! It's like you and Charmaine felt my anxious vibes in the universe haha - my first ever import order should be arriving within a week or so (A. papi and Syn. frosted heart) and I've been trying to absorb as much info as possible on acclimating.
I've got two questions! :) you mentioned cleaning the imports before putting them in water and in the ikea bins - what do you use to clean them?
Where were you able to pick up your systemic spinosad? (I'm also CAD, just ON).
If the plants come in grimy with hard water or pesticide deposits I clean it with Pink Solution or Dr Bronner’s! But this time they looked pretty good so I just used water.
I ordered the spinosad from www.seedranch.com!
Excited for your imports!!! ❤️
@@youdontevengrowhere awesome, thank you for the info!! I'm super excited ❤️ gotta love local FB groups
I love flowers too we get moved I am too
Very pretty
Are they. A lot money
OUFF over an hour of rich undiluted and pure, top of the line Alice 😍😍 what a lovely day 🌷
I see your sp silver does the same floppy leaf thing mine is doing! I bagged mine to try and cure some of the flop but any idea as to why this happens to the leaves or how to fix it?
as always love your videos and Huxley the potat!
Mine is curving back but it’s not floppy - it’s firmly in that bent back position 😂 my theory is that it’s searching for light so I placed it in a more evenly lit spot and the newer leaf hasn’t done the curve back thing so far 🤔
And thank youuuuuu ❤️❤️
@@youdontevengrowhere okay yes you're right mine is the same! Firmly bent backwards no yellowing or anything. Hmm I'll try to give mine more even light as well! Thanks lovely! 🥰
Nice video
do you use a curling iron? how do you get your hair so fluffy oh ya and nice plants
Yes curling iron 😂😂
What’s the name of the business in Thailand you went through?
There’s a philo rubrocinctum platinum in one of your fav videos. Was it from equaflora too? The one I got from ecuagenera wasn’t nice looking which is a stump now. Planning to order from tropical plants this time.
That rubrocinctum platinum I got from North Shore Tropicals, so I’m not actually sure where it was ordered from!
Equaflora definitely packs plants a lot better, and I’m seeing with the slowed down demand the plants seem to be coming in with more roots
So much great info, thank you!! Just curious where you buy spinosad? I had thought it wasn't available in Canada
I ordered it from www.seedranch.com - but I’m not sure if they’re still shipping to Canada! I think spinosad recently became legal in Canada although it is still controlled (don’t quote me on that though 😅)
As far as I know pon has been impossible to get a hold of lately(?) I would try it if I could find it...
It’s always coming in and out! I’ve been getting lucky and been able to grab some from their random restocks right before I run out. I do love DIY pon too, I’m just too lazy to make it!
💚💚💚
Did the hoya survive ? 😬
What is the sulfur product you are using? I'm unfamiliar with this technique. Is the sulfur the rooting hormone or anti fungal?
I use rooting hormone mixed with sulphur powder (sulphur being anti fungal)! I’m not sure if the rooting hormone actually works but I mix it in there anyways. My intention is mostly to dry the cut end and prevent fungal growth, any rooting boost would just be a bonus 😆
Did you have to do anything after you ordered from the site to get it imported or did the company handle all the phytosanitary stuff?
Both Ecuagenera and Equaflor-a take care of the phyto and they’ll ship to an importer who distributes to the individuals, so there’s no need for an ecuadorian import permit
@@youdontevengrowhere thank you! I’ve done ecuagenera at a pop up but how your plants turned out make me want to equaflora
I loved the video, thanks for taking the time to make it. Can you please explain the reason behind cleaning the chonks? Thanks
I can’t speak for everyone who cleans chonks, but for me I want to be able to see the stem and cleaning it helps me to assess the stem health and catch rot. Also, the scraping seems to wake up and activate growth in the older parts of the plant!
@@youdontevengrowhere thanks so much for thr reply ❤️
oh the import life- I live vicariously through you! I have a q from a fellow Canadian - would you be open to sharing how you order Phyton 35? I see that it isn't fully Canada-approved. Any tips much appreciated :):) You da bestest. ALSO - if this is more of an IG dm, let me know that firstly and I shall recalibrate my ways.
Please feel free to DM me on IG 😄😄
Are you willing to tell us where you ordered them from? I would like the order the one that was bigger than my head please
Equaflor-a!
@@youdontevengrowhere How do you order from them? 🤔 Your imports from them look so great but I can‘t really find any shop site 😖
@@rabbitsandphilodendron Ecuaflora is the original name, but they changed it to Tropicals Plants. Note the double plural when you’re searching! 😅
