    Great vid. My running comments got wiped out somehow. Frog in a sock is my fav!
    Nice update on your plants!
    I agree on Thai prices. Ordered on this week. 8” pot for $100. Hope it has nice variegation. Gonna plant it with my monstera when I repot this spring. Love the large forms.
    Did you do a vid on your cabinet? Have to look at the list if I missed it.

I'm so jelly over your Bunnings, I have 4 within an hr drive of and none are as well stocked as that! The red wings with a pattern piqued my interest, we have a lot of those here but I've never seen one like that! Love the new title art too Pete that's a corker. Please tell me you're thinking of launching some merch I need those on a shirt. 🤣

    crazy, the hardware stores where i live in northern california (lowes, home depot) have such a limited plant selection compared to bunnings. interesting that australia has such strict import laws, but you have a way better big box store selection!

    • @petevsplants7516
      @petevsplants7516  2 года назад +1

      Yeah, I think the deal here is that Enliven have a partnership with Bunnings and during covid they imported shit loads of tissue culture rarer plants as the indoor plant craze exploded. And more stuff's coming out now even after the pandemic.

    Great vid Pete. Those ROF philos look tops! I wanted to ask for the name of the philo on the moss pole in the top left of the screen at around 12:13 into the video. Would you know the name of that one? I have one (found it in the garden when we bought the house) and haven't been able to find out what it's called! 😕

    Ya know, people say to wrap newspaper or tin foil (thickly) around cactus, to relocate them; that's cumbersome & weird. And not spine-proof, really! Just handle the dangerous cacti with tongs, it's perfect! You can spend as much as you want on them, or as little. I had bought a few pairs from the dollar store, only to use for plants. All different sizes, too... but they only had the all metal ones. They're fine. Kind of sharp and flat-edged though, on succulent leaves. So I went ahead & got the $7.99 tongs - they're so great for plants. Plus it can make grabbing random things easier. Like gross or dead plants, or sketchy garden spots, where you can't quite see what's in there. 🫤😂 also helps when repotting cacti, use the tongs to position and hold in place while you add soil and stuff around the roots... ✌🏽

    Hi Pete, I love your content, but the flickering of your grow lights is really difficult to watch as a photosensitive epileptic. I was wondering if you would be willing to put a warning at the beginning so people are aware that it could trigger them? Luckily for me I get enough time to be able to stop watching before a seizure is triggered but for some people it's fairly instant. I particularly noticed it first when you showed your anthurium cabinet, but the point that made me stop and comment was at the point you were showing your florida ghosts. I haven't watched any further.
    That half and half Thai is just stunning, btw, also I had no idea that Flo Beauty's existed that have the ghost variegation as their variegation that is just awesome and I need to find one lol
