that guy is hands down knowledgeable!...I am more familiar with common names but his latin scientific names and his knowledge about plants is just amazing
woohooo i love this episode , Sandy loves his plants alright u could tell by the way he explaining every plants one by one ,such positive energy , this episode makes me happy
Summer you have really taken your channel to another level. I can't even watch other youtube channels talk about their plants, when they cannot pronounce the names and half of their plants are dead or dying. You are knowledgeable and provide expert advice..along with plants I have never seen and probably never will. Keep up the good work! Also, fyi my wife purchased your plant class, now I am waiting for her to teach me everything she learns from you~ Thank you
Hey Rick, that's a wonderful comment. Thank you so much for sharing, and so grateful for you to take the time to watch the channel. I really look forward to what your wife thinks of the class. Do have her fill out the survey at the end so I can get feedback to improve upon. And do hope she shares her knowledge!
@@summerrayneoakes Hey Summer, I can tell you that she did say that the first two parts were not what she expected. She said that it sounded like you were just reading from a book. I think that maybe she expected something a bit more informative or interactive. I will ask her about the rest of it...sorry if that is not positive feedback.
Rick Sawicki good to hear. The first 3 sections are more establishing a plant’s place in the world and how they actually work as organisms, so perhaps too heavy in history or biology for her; but it begins to get much more tactical after that. Let’s see what she thinks as it progresses! Always good to know feedback so it can improve over time.
I feel like I should have paid for this tour. Sandy is a wealth of knowledge and his passion for plants comes through the camera. Loved the nursery tour. Thank you so much. I could spend hours there and wish I could take all the plants home with me.
Dearest Summer, thank you so much for your passion for plants and for making all these videos about them. I truely appreciate them. I love plants, I treat them as my babies (hahaha) They have actually helped me find my way, I'm speaking of my social phobia. I used be afraid to talk to anyone, even someone on a shop or a waiter. But since I started collecting plants I started feeling a weird, warm sensation inside me. Then you came to my life and inspired me to get even more plants! I'd go to plant nurseries and spend an hour or two deciding which plants to buy and asking the person that takes care of them some questions or if they had the plant x and the plant y. Then I realized that the plant world that you've introduced me to has been helping me with my social phobia since 2017. You make me want to go out there and talk to plantkeepers, gardeners and ask for tips when normally I'd be too shy to. Thank you so much for the impact you and plants have in my life, and I mean what I said on my first comment, I love when your videos are big. The only downside is that I have to wait a week for them. But it's okay, I bingewatch when I can until the next thursday! Again, thank you so much for being you and for your wonderful content. You'll always be Her Majesty Queen of Plants to me. I respect you so much also for your environmental causes and for treating the Planet with so much care and love. You're an inspiration.
I truly admire his hospitality and humble about his knowledge. Sandy truly loves his nursery, and so confident about the origins of each plant. I’d love to come here to visit.
I enjoy seeing people who are knowledgeable about their plants. I think that knowing the plant names and growing needs are important for the viewer. Good episode.
She's a wonderful plant person I love watching her I have learned a lot from watching her about taking care of plants and learning different varieties and names of plants and cichlids you name it she knows about it .You go girl!
@@sandysoh1742 i think that's a common thread here...we all love plants and want to care for many varieties. you have so many plants that i would wish to have in my own home. and you make it look so easy, because, like Summer, you know how to best care for them. you inspire me.
@@treemerryweather Thank you for your kind words of praise. I've had my share of disappointments when plants die and all one can do is to figure out what went wrong and try, try again!
This was the BEST video you've ever made! So intriguing to see all of these foreign plants that we may never have available for us in North America. I was glued to the screen the whole episode! Please make more videos like these!
So great of Sandy to take time away from running his terrific nursery to share his knowledge and enthusiasm. So cool to get a taste of what he’s growing and some juicy culture details. ~ Hobbyists everywhere are often attracted to the exotic. This phenomenon is exemplified by the popularity of cactus, succulents and caudex plants in South East Asia, where these types of plants occur less frequently in nature. They also may offer a welcome challenge when trying to nurture them in a moist, rainy tropical climate lacking the seasonal variations of these species homes. ~ Sandy’s comment about the superior quality of Pilea p. when grown locally in Singapore as opposed to imported from Holland was interesting. Nowadays plants,as with so many commodities, even perishable ones, are shipped sometimes great distances before being marketed retail. With some species this doesn’t significantly effect the overall quality of the material. In many cases , especially with outdoor garden plants, there can be a very significant and noticeable difference in performance of locally grown vs. shipped in material. For the consumer this presents the question, do you want to purchase an acclimatized plant grown by a respected local nursery, (possibly at a premium price), or do you want to chance acclimating it yourself in your home or garden.
I've had many-a-plant perish probably because it wasn't acclimatized. I think this is going to be a bigger and bigger issue, particularly b/c houseplants ARE so popular now. Many growers have shared they can't keep their plants in stock, so they are sending them out less prepared for people's homes, which means more perishing of plants! A conundrum indeed. My hats off to Sandy, as you shared, because of the time he is taking to grow them in Sinagpore's climate.
I'm so glad to be reading what you've shared. I've had my share of imported plants that don't grow well in a different climate and also arrive in potting medias that aren't suitable for tropical Singapore. I've had my fair share of dead and dying plants and I've been experimenting with different medias to get it right and also propagating to ensure that they do well here.
Sandy is super passionate in what he does....well done on the feature. Tradescantia of some species are noxious weeds in some countries and regions (Hendrika)
Really enjoyed this tour! Sandy was a joy to listen to - knowledgeable, clearly likes what he does and cheerful. You seemed to get on well! Would love to visit this place 😊
@@sandysoh1742 Doesn't make it any less beautiful! I like the platy's that are a bit more demanding- because they repay you with some incredible structures! Though I am content with my P. superbum and P. bifurcatum, the moment I see a Ridleyi here in the U.K., i'm snapping it up! Haha
I like watching you travel to different country and just giving us the opportunity to see other's nursery or their collections. Very very informational.
I love your interview style!!! It's so laid back and relaxed, yet very informative and interesting. You seem to always find the most passionate people to interview. This is just lovely! Keep at it! Love all the way from SA.
I love this new approach you are taking with the "field trips". You are so informative and the topics are extremely interesting/inspiring to watch. Especially, for me, when investigating unusual plant varieties (like this video) and other home growers who are passionate about their plants. Thank you! Can't wait to see more. Really a highlight of my week.
I’ve been to this nursery several months ago and the place is just as magical as is in this video! I still have the plants i got from there and it was just so tempting to get so many!
We visited Terrascapes before we came across your video today, we agree, we can spend days looking at Sandy’s plants. Also my kids were so amused and well entertained by the dancing bird lol
Interesting to see Singapore trying its best to do a San Diego. Huperzia squarrosa branches are so delicate. I've lost two large branches that snapped on their own weight. Next repotting will be upside down...but I hope it makes a difference.

😂😂😂 that bird dancing! That place seems heavenly 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
The bird is tired being in the cage and dissipating its anxiety and depression by jumping.
Wow...sharing your nice collection and tips in caring those plants😊

i played lara craft a month ago lol

Thank you :)

I have issues with channels that just buy and buy and buy plants and don't know anything about them
Exact loc of this garden?
the best plant channel. no ego, no drama, just great info and great production value thanks guys!

I could spend hours there and wish I could take all the plants home with me.
I like going to Sandy's place. As busy as he gets, he tends to your questions patiently and explains his plants passionately

Sandy! The coolest man in Singapore when it comes to plants!
These birds are unbelievably adorablw
Summer you're so inspiring. And the thing that you're doing for the online plant community is just great.
I'm so pleased. Thanks for saying such a lovely review.
Really
What an exceptional soul! Sandy is beyond kind. This video has such good energy 😂💚
Big props to that guy who knows so much about his plants.
Summer look so good omggg 🤤😍💚
That guy sure knew his plants!
Extremely knowledgeable.
OMG ... so envious you were able to see all that in person!!! What a wonderful gentleman! You can just hear and see his passion for what he does.

i love this video of Sandy's greenhouse. He is so knowledgeable and caring about his plants. and omg what a variety!!!
He has a really nice collection!
Thank you! I'm trying not to grow too many different varieties cos they have such different needs but I just can't stop myself!

This is really one of the best episodes. I must go visit the nursery and hopefully get to see Sandy, he is a natural on camera.
WHOAAA, Summer is heckin’ RIPPED. 💪🏼
OH MY GAWSH 😭
Summer is so sweet with the cockatoo ❤️
Romeo truly loves Summer!
Good God! I could watch this woman talk about anything, she’s incredibly gorgeous.
flat chest tsunade xD
mashaa Allah! it is the perfect place for all the wonderful feelings and positive energy in the world.
Sandy really has an awesome knowledge of his babies!
My favourite episode so far. What a sweet and knowledgeable guy. Great plants and great chat 🙏🏻
This place is amazing. I loved the birds too. Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful place.
That ginormous philodendron🙌.....what an outstanding collection and the bird is just beautiful 😄
Some of the most interesting and beautifully unique plant's. The bird's were fun also.
He was great! You too Summer 🥰🤗🌱
Sandy has such good energy 💜
I like this guys energy. I was done when she jumped with the bird. Also look at that stomach, wow 😮
Summer, you know you are enabling plant addicts with these wonderful tours :-)
That's the hope Siloe!
In Singapore, we call this spreading plant poison!
This was the BEST video you've ever made! So intriguing to see all of these foreign plants that we may never have available for us in North America. I was glued to the screen the whole episode! Please make more videos like these!
sandy is amazing, seems so happy and in his element.
i aspire to be this fulfilled
The plants are so pretty! I won't be bored just listening to Sandy talk about them. Really cool!

Beautiful plants, birds and nursery
Favorite episode!!!!!! Thank you for sharing this beautiful singaporean nursery.
so glad you wore this outfit made my quarantine a whole lot better.
Your videos always make a gloomy day better, such great plants and people😉
I wish we had a nursery like this where I live. It's amazing!
Where do you live?
I can feel my wish list growing longer as I watch this...lovely collection, thanks for the names as well!
I'm a sucker for just the atmosphere in nurseries alone, so this one is highly appreciated!
I think that bird was very happy cuz somebody come to him after along time. .🐦🐦😊😊😊😊😊😁😀😀
9:19 he’s real man! He really love plant.
Wow! Sandy is just full of plant knowledge. If I lived closed, I’d hang out there every weekend. 🤓
The bird made me so happy 🥺
😯 gorgeous plant 🪴 and amazing cactuses 🌵
Summer you are just full of love in your heart! I can see it! ❤️
I love this guy , he’s so funny
The guy from the greenhouse such a cool and smart dude 🌿👍
Sandy is super passionate in what he does....well done on the feature. Tradescantia of some species are noxious weeds in some countries and regions (Hendrika)

@@sandysoh1742 you replied!!!!! AWESOME!!! Thanks, Sandy!!!
😊
I've enjoyed this greenhouse tour very much. What a knowledge Sandy has...and so kind! Thanks for sharing Summer🤗🤩
There were plenty of knowledge bombs in there. The Albuca spiralis one is a gem!
@@summerrayneoakes It most certainly is🤩
I enjoyed him as well. He knows his plants.
This was very good ! The plants were very unusual But that Bird was very funny 😄
Love the episodes.You are making my addiction to another level.Thanks Sandy.
Thank you too! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Thanks for taking us to Singapore, Sandy was a very knowledgeable nursery man and bird guy too. Your knowledge is great keep the tropicals coming.
Oh my goodness, that Philo speciosum is absolutely to die for! And the Ridleyi hybrid? Oh be still my beating heart! 💚💚💚
Thank you! Ridleyi can be quite difficult to grow sometimes but the hybrid is great!

Country of Singapore !
Welcome to the Far East 👋 🌿🌱🍃🌴🌾🌻🌸
I like watching you travel to different country and just giving us the opportunity to see other's nursery or their collections. Very very informational.

You are a natural vlogger. You should have your own TH-cam Chanel.
Love from the Philippines 🇵🇭
That place is literal heaven
I'm smiling all throughout the video 😍
1:10 that is the cutest thing I've seen today
I love your interview style!!! It's so laid back and relaxed, yet very informative and interesting. You seem to always find the most passionate people to interview. This is just lovely! Keep at it! Love all the way from SA.
Sandy is so pro! Wonderful episode.
thank you! So glad that you enjoyed it!
I never wanted this video to end💕❤️
Abuca is cool! I grew them before... So lovely.
Amazing work, knowledge and love for plants and birds. Good job 👍
I love this new approach you are taking with the "field trips". You are so informative and the topics are extremely interesting/inspiring to watch. Especially, for me, when investigating unusual plant varieties (like this video) and other home growers who are passionate about their plants.
Thank you! Can't wait to see more. Really a highlight of my week.
I’ve been to this nursery several months ago and the place is just as magical as is in this video! I still have the plants i got from there and it was just so tempting to get so many!
Loved this Singapore series!!!!!
He is so adorable and genuine, I would go in Singapore just te see that place and to have a talk with him.
So great! I loved this tour and you both are so interesting to watch. Many plants that I have never seen before. Thanks!
I LOVE WHEN EPISODES ARE THIS BIG, AAAAAAAAH THANK YOU ♥
Summer you're amazing and beautiful😘😘😘😘👍👍👍👍
This is definitely my favorite field trip yet!!!
He seems so lovely and his Latin and knowledge is fantastic. I cant wait to see Stephania erecta in Australia. Thank you for an amazing video Summer
this is probably the most professional channel I subscribe to, love it so much!!!
This was quite interesting and entertaining. Do another one with Sandy please!!!!!
Awesome episode ! Loved watching it. Sandy was a great guide !
We visited Terrascapes before we came across your video today, we agree, we can spend days looking at Sandy’s plants. Also my kids were so amused and well entertained by the dancing bird lol
He is a plant magician! 😉
What a great video so many different and amazing plants 🌱 and the birds are beautiful thanks for sharing
Beautiful plants and I love your Bird
Interesting to see Singapore trying its best to do a San Diego.
Huperzia squarrosa branches are so delicate. I've lost two large branches that snapped on their own weight. Next repotting will be upside down...but I hope it makes a difference.
Sandy you are so knowledgeable!
LOVE!! Such a great episode. More wishlist plants...
Another wonderful video tour. That bird is hilarious!
Romeo is such a riot!
Sandy is so knowledgeable and interesting! Great video!
