  • I'm unboxing plants from Botanicaz!~ Loads of begonias, and rare aroids. This is my first time unboxing plants on my channel and it was tons of fun. I didn't know what they sent me so it was really exciting to open each plant. I'm using these for my IKEA Rudsta cabinet I'm transforming into a paludarium (a full tutorial for this will be up soon). If y'all like this, maybe I'll do more of these in the future!
    best,

    That's so sweet of them to send you a Magiya! That's another one of their hybrids, Baik x Darthvaderiana. It's named after the two that were caring for it, Maggie, one of the employees that you had her insta in the video I believe, and Anya, the owner.

    Another wonderful video! It's so funny to see begonias making a come-back! Begonias were SO popular in Canada in the mid 80's, my mother's garden was FULL of them. Every time I think about the 80's it's like: glass bricks, mullets, yellow sunglasses, and begonias!

    So I would like to say that your plants are so beyond loved, I love how you present your videos, and narrate them. I love plants as well. I also am a Aquarist. I have 10 active planted tanks. All have terrestrial houseplants that I keep in them. They have symbionic relationships with my aquatic creatures. Like my golden pothos is growing and thriving completely submerged, it has finally breached the water surface. The plant helps scape my frog tank. It offers them strong leafs to rest on that my snails and shrimp will not eat the plant, unless the leaf starts to die back. Then it's game on for them. This plant has stable roots in the flooring of the tank. I am always looking for tropical bog like plants that love water. One of moss videos made in my feed. I clicked and watched. You made a moss ball plant thing. I am very sorry I can not remember the name of the ball. Thank you for sharing. Not easy caring for plants, going to school, and having a channel. Awesome work young man💕

    I so enjoy all of your videos and this one is especially of interest. I’ve had a love/ hate relationship with Begonias for about 2 years- I love them, but that feeling is not reciprocated much. I’ve bought humidifiers, grow- lights and have done tons of research then followed the suggestions to a tee- they still dislike me. I would love if you could do a follow up video at some point with your knowledge on how to keep them happy. I haven’t been able to make or purchase a greenhouse yet, except for the humidifiers in my room where they’re kept, but any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated if you decide to do such a video. Thank you so much for your channel, I always look forward to watching.

    • @Naranylla
      @Naranylla 2 года назад +1

      I probably don't know more than you, since I haven't done much research on begonias- But I do know these plants are supposed to be very easy to take care of. Which makes me think maybe it's simply the area you live in isn't fit for begonias? I recently watched a video on calathea, and the man in it was talking about how it's really hard to take care of plants that like humidity in very dry climates. Personally, I can't grow a ton of flowers because the area I live in gets super hot and sunny. But there are always solutions to these things. :)

    I love begonias so much, but in my dry climate they just shrivel up and die :( One day when I have the space, I'd like to make a little indoor greenhouse just for begonias.

    I love your videos!! Could you show us how you grew your string of hearts in moss ? 😊

      tbh it’s pretty easy, place cuttings on top of moss, keep the moss moist but not too wet (don’t let water pool on the bottom). then out something over the string of hearts and moss to keep humidity up, clear plastic bag, clear tub, etc. and roots will form in no time
