This is my favorite plant family. So ubiquitous and common that it’s often unseen, yet colocasia, alocasia, amorphs, and many others are so charismatic and fascinating!
Really excellent video. Please make more like this explaining and showing the different plant families. It was really informative for a novice like me.
Amazing... and I just realized that the most important "vegetable" in my region (Bicol, Philippines) is an aroid (Colocasia Esculenta). I am falling in love with this family.
I love Dr. TOM CROAT. He is so passionate on his fields and funny . Love the story behinds the famous names in my plants collection. He needs a TH-cam show . Hehehehe
Omg🤗 please do more topics on aroids please 🙏 Topics : craze , prices , care and its substrates for house plants use, conservation , Tissue Culture, especially mutation on variegated like Adansonii variegation and its history. And so on ... I love aroids.
Got some cuttings today from my local botanical garden here in Germany. I asked nicely and no other visitors were around. Some Adansonii where the mother plant is about 18 meters high and has huge, mature leaves and a stem of a cane begonia. Hope they root and survive 🙏🏻😰
I just found your channel through this channel and I love it! Espcially to hear the specialists talking about the plant in the beginning is so interesting
wooow absolutely amazing! I've learned so much about aroids. And I feel proud now that I get to help the conservation of these beautiful specimens by having them. Saving the world one plant at a time! :) Regards from Scotland
Philodendron williamsii and all the other arborescent Meconostigma aroids are actually now in genus Thaumatophyllum. So it's T. williamsii, which btw was quite rare and sought after at one point.
Glad I caught this announcement so early. Great to chat with these Aroid Superstars! Linked to about eight groups on FaceBook focused on Aroids and tropical plants. (Altho the temperate Aroids are just as fascinating!)
Dude these videos are so cool man, I love it. Was just photographing some skunk cabbage this morning, what an interesting and beautiful family of plants.
Thank you so much for sharing this video! Arums are my favorite plants and this answered a lot of questions I had about their natural habitats and the way that these plants grow! Also love how this is partnered with the Missouri Botanical Garden! Seeing their Aroid collection in person is on my bucket list!
Cool Vid! NIce and informative. Interesting that he comments that philodendrons are more resilient to low humidity; definitely something I've noticed w/ my melanochrysum and El Choco Red - much more chill with my crappy climate. Thanks for putting this together!
I'm so much cleverer after this. When traveling I always visit the local botanical garden. Not least because of the conservation aspect it is very importen to support those institutions. Now I look forward to watch your other videos and of cause I'm subscribing. Keep up this importen work.
Looking good, will use this for my taxonomy course. Two points though - you didn't mention that Aroids are monocots and they are one of the exceptions to the parallel venation pattern for most monocots. Also, Amorphophallus means misshapen penis. I know it makes people giggle, but it makes them remember the plants better. ;) Sad towards the end that so many species are being lost. Human greed knows no bounds. Will you be back once the Titan Arum starts blooming again at MoBot? :)
Great reasons to love them! Guttation is my FAVORITE! During the growing season at night many of the fast growing around like colocasia, alocasia and amorphophallus will drop from the leaf top. Sometimes they will literally spit the tiny droplets out several inches AND very rapidly, like 5x a second or faster at times. If you check the leaves at night the leaf tip is almost always wet on the tip. GUTTATION!
I had to basically stop growing aroids because of mosaic virus. It’s not even recognized by the usda on the mainland us, but I’m in zone 6 and it’s everywhere. This family is largely hurting
Man I did not expect these two experts featured throughout to be THE MOST INTERESTING PEOPLE EVER. I’d say these guys now top my “if you could have lunch with anyone, alive or dead” list, along with Jay-Z, Carl Sagan and Joseph Campbell. Ideally we’d all have lunch together. I’d happily move back to Missouri for standing weekly lunch plans with these two! Those would be the best lunches. Ok maybe I’m hungry rn. Great video, insanely informative, outstanding prop work. I adore everything you do Nick but the audio on this video is WACK. Y song so loud but smart lady so quiet? This is the music played at all the band practices I _voluntarily_ went to in my 20s. I never really got over dating drummers but I _did_ start listening to mostly podcasts and hip hop in my 30s. FIX DEM LEVELS BOI
It’s so depressing to hear of all this diversity that took millions of years to develop, being scoured off the planet forever in a generation or two. All for the ultimately unsustainable religion of “constant growth” and money.
The one we buy from nurseries are from tissue culture that came from 1 plant remove from the rain forest . So its a clone of 1st and the produce from seeds and human hybridization. Conservationists need to go and search our rainforest to research, documents and introduce to the natives and the world so it can be protected. We loose all these plants when we human comes in and start taking space for agriculture and farming .
@@EliezaBaby Yes, it’s good to preserve it in anyway, but single colognes aren’t really all that effective. So many of the exotic plants we are growing are the single horticultural selection. And in the end, what good does it do to keep a single one when we have destroyed the one place on earth that it grows? It’s an interesting museum piece and possibly useful, but cannot compare withI’ll be all natural population.
@@sazjiAgree . May be one a collective force effort by collectors, hobbyist , conservationists and natives small patch collection can donate and release. But governments need to give back the land and protection.
That anecdote at the beginning was the most insane way of opening up an interview 😂
i love the way you mix shoegaze and plants it's pure art
Big tip from the expert for people who keep aroids at home 20:48
This is my favorite plant family.
So ubiquitous and common that it’s often unseen, yet colocasia, alocasia, amorphs, and many others are so charismatic and fascinating!
Drove me crazy trying to remember the song at 9:40 😂 love gleemer. Great music, great plants, and great information. Thanks!
Thank you for this video! Always a pleasure to hear Dr. Tom Croat speak.
I think the plant that you have at 17:40 is an Amydrium zippelianum.
Nice, thanks!
I don't know what I love more - the informational video on aroids, or your choice of music... thank you for posting!
Fantastic that you got Dr. Croat in this.
Really excellent video. Please make more like this explaining and showing the different plant families. It was really informative for a novice like me.
Jewel of a documentary. Hope you do more on aroids
I agree 👍 lots and lots on aroids hehehehe 😄
LOTS MORE NEEDED!
I love how you keep ducking in and out of camera via the surrounding foliage 😊
Amazing... and I just realized that the most important "vegetable" in my region (Bicol, Philippines) is an aroid (Colocasia Esculenta). I am falling in love with this family.
Are they healthy there?
Or is do they have disease?
@@swayback7375 They grow wild here. We the the leaf as vegetable as well as its tubers for snack.
Great video, I learned a lot! Aroids are such a crazy family of plants, very cool.
Extra ordinary...👍👍
Tanaman yg sangat indah...👍👍
Full kasih sayang itu peraatananya...
Smoga bumi makin sejuk...hijau...
I love Dr. TOM CROAT. He is so passionate on his fields and funny . Love the story behinds the famous names in my plants collection. He needs a TH-cam show . Hehehehe
Thank you so much for sharing this! I can just dreaming of going to work there *sigh*
Aroids are amazing!

Man, what a story to start with!!!!

You always have the best content Matt!! podcast, TH-cam, whatever it is, you are the plant master :)

Hey Frank what are the 8 group on FB to join with aroids hobbyist ?
Excellent vid!
i've heard your podcast but have never seen your youtube videos. This was great!!! I loved the music and it was super informative. thank youuuu
More on AROID PLANTS please 🙏

Fantastic video. Full of info and as others have mentioned it seems like you had a lot of fun popping in and out of the shot xd.
Been waiting years for Matt to Interview Dr. Croat!

Fascinating video with a harsh music choice.
Thanks for sharing videos sir, wonderful... Hope you can visit, New friend here..
💚
@11:30 I thought that was a Monstera pinnatipartita
Is he giving them away?

Jesus that story from the professor hahaha omg lol waaaaat. Did he just say his daughter fell in a cement mixer? Lmao

Who got a sancti? holla at me
so philodendron patriciae is an imported plant into ecuador ? hahaha..
Why would you not put the name, instead of the generic Philodendron sp. or Anthurium so?
Aroid enthusiasts are called "Aroiders" btw, not phytophiles.
Plants are a gender. Who identifies as a Philodendron?
So sad
Far too much talking, not enough aroids.
Epic video
