I don't know if you see! But they exist the lithops purple, and they are insane.❤❤❤

You may want to research temperatures different Hoyas like. I have noticed a huge difference by keeping them in temperatures they are happy with. For example, lacunosas don’t like heat, but Carnosas love it.

Great video! Loved seeing more of your plants. I have a Hoya Carnosa that has been in my family for over 70 years. It’s very special to me and over the years I’ve started many, many plants from it and passed them on to anyone that wants one.

Spaths-- They remove 80% of toxins in the air. I love mine and have them all in semi hydro. I don't fertilize much, do you? Mine get brown tips if I am lazy with tap water. If I use strictly distilled water they never brown up. I love mine so much! Is there anything you feed yours?

I have a 39 year old Hoya that was 25 yrs when I adopted it , it’s not my most expensive plant in my collection but it’s the most valuable to me. I vowed to provide the best care as it was very important to its former plant parent , who sadly passed away

Amazing video very informative You educated me on plants I have Appreciate the knowledge and care advice Thank you

Thank you Rod for the house tour!!! I love your videos!!

Hi Rod, Many thanks for another great video and for all the good information you included as you showed us each beautiful plant. My Little Warty is on his third up-potting and I love this chunky plant. I would love to find a variegated one. I have one Thanksgiving Cactus and two Easter Cacti. Love every one of them and they bloom beautifully. My oldest plant is a Golden Pothos that I received in a flower arrangement on the day my Daughter was born thirty four years ago., Named her Maggie after my Sister In Law. who gave her to me. Everyone knows if there’s a house Fire, be sure to grab Maggie on the way out.🤣 Take care and stay safe! 👌🪴🥰

I love my Asian Violet and didn't know they're called primulina too. A local nursery has some beautiful ones. I need to edit the last video. My Asian Violet has yellowing leaves lately, the African violets too. Hmmmm...another plant chore. 😂

With the lithops, do they handle drafty windows okay?

Hi Rod! I look forward to your orchid video! The blooms on your phalen... are gorgeous

Hey Rod, my fellow New Englander friend. Wonderful video as always!! I love my Rhipsalis. Are you getting ready for the snow???

I have a ripsalis paradoxa that started as a stump, it is now multiple branched , 6 feet long. I just let her grow ☺️. I have several shades of the gasteria“ little warty “ that I love so much. Have you tried to grow the jungle cactus that is the fern leaf one? I could go on and on about my plant babies. I wish I could post pictures.

I find Hoya dennisii ‘Frida’ such a fun plant to grow and once she starts producing flowers the will come frequently! So pretty! Currently also growing Hoya rindu rafflesia, that one mostly has green leaves but has also produced a few random ones that have so much splash, I like the contrast (hoping for flowers this year) 🌱🪴🌸

I took a chance on adding two new to me orchids this year. I now have two thriving babies! One vanilla orchid vine and one jewel.

Od ponad dekady mam Zamioculcas zamiifolia.

I, too, have a Christmas cactus that I’ve had for at least 25 years. It was a start off my Momma’s plant so it’s a family heirloom. It has sat in a north facing upstairs window for years. It is somewhat neglected at times, very large, and hasn’t been repotted since I don’t know when…This year she has over thirty blooms. She never disappoints. Thank you for your continued content. I look forward to each one.

That was a really sweet video, especially with the affection you have for the Schlumbergera truncata. Our oldest plant is the Schefflera, which is about 40 years, but pretty quickly on its way out. It's kids are doing well, so all is not lost. Wow you have an amazing collection--and would you look at all that terracotta??

Hi Rod😌🙌My oldest plant is my cactus: Hamatocactus that I've had for about 15 years. Your schlumbergera is a beauty🥰I remember growing them as a kid and propagating them. I have one that's in flower now. I love it. I enjoyed seeing your Aglaonemas. Wow! They are beautiful🙏

Hi Rod, happy week´s end to you too. Thank you for for the glimpses into other parts of your home in this video. My longest-lived plant is the African spear plant, a.k.a. Dracaena angolensis (formerly Sansevieria cylindrical), which I got from my neighbour who didn´t know how old it was, but when she gave it to me 6/7 years ago must have been over 10 years old. My Strelizia reginae must be the oldest plant in my care. Got it as a baby, maybe 8-10 years ago, and now it´s mature enough to bloom, despite all the hardship and neglect I put it through.

I'm still fairly new to actually being able to keep my plants alive, so my longest lived plants are a Hawaiian spider plant and a pink pearl aglaonema that I picked up on the same shopping trip 3 years ago. Once I was able to successfully keep those alive, my plant collection grew and grew...

I struggled a bit with my vandas for several years. I live in dry eastern WA. I’d switch mediums and they’d grow for a while & then stop & I’d check and their roots weren’t good. I bought a mini countertop greenhouse so I could give them more humidity. What seems to be working is planting them in lava rock (0.5 to 1” pieces) in a 7” square mesh plant pot on a 6” square plant saucer. I soak the plants (lava rocks) in fertilizer water once a week for about 10 minutes. Rocks fully submerged under water. When it goes back in the greenhouse, the greenhouse stays fully humid all week. Any orchid or Hoya struggling with humidity issues or no roots, goes in there and thrives. I just open it once between feedings to vent it & wipe down if it gets too damp. These are baby vandas and I fear the day when they get too big for that greenhouse. Probably should have bought mini vandas🙈🤣 Now I have 2 more table top greenhouses one tall enough for my pre-bonsai ficus trees, bonsai olive tree & pre bonsai Japanese maple trees. In all I have the lava rocks in the mesh pond plant pots for humidity. Really works great for me.

Djungel cactus is one of my best growers. Old plants from the 1980s. Take cuttings all year round. The flowers are the best. Thank you for showing your lovely plants. PS. My best one has orange flowers. One of my Benjamin ficus is 41 years old, bought it in 1984, when I moved to Sweden

I highly recommend you try a fern leaf cactus. I just got one and am totally in love with it. Discovered it at a local plant nursery.

Happy Friday! I have a sansevieria (sorry just can’t call them dracaena!) which came from my mom years ago. Must be around 30? Seems like every time I have moved cities and given plants away the sansevierias always made their way back to me. I think because they were the only ones my unwilling friends couldn’t kill! Thanks for great content again! 🪴

I have a Dracaena Fragrans Massangeana that was a wedding gift nearly 50 years ago. It has hit the ceiling more times than I can say. Every time I cut it in half it blooms with a very long, very stinky flower spike. This last time I cut it in half it produced a double top!

Hi goodnight thanks for sharing i usually put all my orchids on trees outdoors and let them do there thing otherwise putting them indoor they die. I love cacti and succulents and the haworthia gasterias and rhipsalis are up my street. Not lithops or Christmas cactus the don't like the heat here in Barbados. My oldest plant is a very very large pony tail that i had for 45 years. It has broken many pots .😊

Great video. You have gorgeous plants! I think my longest lived plant is a large phalaenopsis that I've had for about four years.

When I was younger, all my indoor plants suffered a slow death, probably from over-watering. Saying that, I have had a carnosa splash now for a year and it's still alive and growing. Of that, I am proud!

🌱💚5 year old Hoya pubicalyx splash from Hirt’s.

My longest living place is my grand Others Christmas ca to that I nearly killed it by keeling it where thee was no light. I have put lip lights on the two I have.

🌱💚I grow my primula, from Hirt’s under a glass cloche and I water it once a month. It flowers profusely under glass. You would love growing a Deuterocohina brevifolia, Hedgehog Pineapple , from Hirt’s. Even easier than Lithops.

The last time my Christmas cactus bloomed was when I put it outside in the summer and brought it in just before the frost. It tolerated the cold nights. I think that’s what helped to set the blooms.

I love Aglaonema. I have three of them. All different. The silver bay is on my wish list. I have the pink one with rounded leaves, a mind of minty one and a bright green and magenta colored one c

I like the little warty. It’s got cool leaves.

Your hawarthea is beautiful

I love Haworthia. I’ve rescued more than a few from big box stores and I have a little forest of them now. So easy to care for. My longest lived plants are a big cattleya from a Florida trip in 1985, a very large carnosa, and Christmas cacti that date back to the 1990’s.

This was a fun video! I am a sucker for just about any epiphyte. Your gasteria has intrigued me. It is so much bigger than the ones I see in the big box store and looks like an elegant sanseveria! Thanks for the wonderful videos.

I want the variegated variety. Mine is kept below the west facing window. They used to sit I. A table right in front of the west facing window It got full afternoon sun. Seem to love it.

Are the spathyphyllum a peace lily or is the peace lily a spathiphyllum?

I have two rhipsalis. One is the mistletoe cactus. Then Ive got one called dancing bones. I think it’s the bacciferus I think. ( I specked thst erong, I know) o w growing under a light, the other on the windowsill of my west facing window. Both doing very well. The mistletoe cactus is over three feet long.

My longest lived is also the thanksgiving cactus. I have a large plant that I restarted from 3 single "leaves" about 6 years ago. Overall I've had it for about 12 years.

I used to grow the primulina before. Back in the 70’s. I really liked them.

As a lifelong plant collector, Let's just say well over 40 ,This is video is my favorite of yours so far. I have found I've turned into a plant GENARA-LIST😂. I discover a new genus and then make a list. Full disclosure I do tend to skip any videos that is about a hoya collection. If you want to know way too much about epiphytic cacti, look up a channel called simply "Epiphytic cacti". It's a definite rabbit hole🎉 I have a few Hoya, and although not a hoya hater, I think a fun video idea would be "Hoyas for the Hoya hater"😂 I really did enjoy your information about your very diverse plant collection🎉

After your advise, maybe I’ll try Lithops again. They are cute.

My Shlumbergera (sold as a "Christmas cactus") was bought in a grocery store 55 years ago. It has traveled with me from North Carolina, to Missouri, to Florida, to Louisiana, and finally to Minnesota. It has beautiful, almost red blossoms that have appeared twice every year, in November and late February. I don't fuss over it, and the only requirement for blooming seems to be very low light/darkness coinciding with the natural waning of light at the latitude it happens to be in at the time. I wish I had a photo because it is now very large and has always elicited oohs and aahs from visitors.

Besides Hoya. Rhipsalis for me! My oldest is a 40 yo original Christmas cactus that was my mom’s. Thanks for showing all your different plants. It’s cool to see what others are interested in!

I’ve had lithops before, but not successful with them. Maybe I watered them when they were splitting. I might try them again.

Hi Rod I have the H. publicalyx My oldest Schlumbergia is at least 20, but then in all of my moves, I don't remember. A couple of my Schlumburgia froze along with all 6 African violets, some vining Philoderdrums, and a Pothos "Njoy" I lost a couple oon this last move last month. I'm down at least 30.

Someone i follow on RUclips calls Lithops “butt rocks”. Makes me laugh
