I think you hit the nail on the head on the spirit of the plant community- sharing knowledge and passion for plants and not just showing off rare collections with empty content.
Thanks Angela! We start showing off plants next week but I assure you there’s quite a bit of discussion around them. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series!
I love all the discussion of the actual community. It makes me feel better about literally only having 5 plants, and the concept of meeting people as such a newbie
I wear my emotions on my sleeve anyway, but I think I am not the only one. I found this episode heart-warming. Every once in awhile when I join a community for some reason I have a feeling of "coming home." I started collecting & enjoying houseplants in my teens, but took a 20 year break to raise my kids. I started noticing the renewal just as my youngest turned 20 last spring. I have been very happy since reconnecting and resuming my collecting. Thanks for the content Jimmy. You are just awesome...and so is Jake.
Aw thanks for following along and the kind words Amelia. Like you’ve realized, there are bigger priorities and responsibilities in life than plants for some if not most of us. We will touch on it in a future episodes but not all of us have the time and resources capable of sustaining a collection like Jake’s, even if all our thumbs were as green. Cheers!
I’m loving this series! There’s so much to be said about the kindness shown and the sharing, of both plants AND information, within this great plant community! Great job Jimmy and Jake! I’m re-watching just to get another glimpse of Jake’s gorgeous collection!
Some of these "houseplant bloggers/influencers" just want followers and attention. Jake is one of those people that deserves the followers. Love his contents!
Thanks once again and that was such great advice he gave nobody talks about all the dead plants it comes with the territory as being a plant parent you will lose alot of them and you cant feel bad thanks again for sharing and FYI you have always had good content and quality ive been following you since you first started and you have never let down thanks❤
Aw thanks so much for the kind words, and thanks for following since the beginning. I think the channel is maturing well and it’s mostly thanks to viewers like yourself. Cheers!
Awwww thanks for the shoutout to the fans, we love your content please keep making more, also great new filming position, not sure if set up is different, but really nice and bright now 🤗
Hello from a new subscriber and fellow (although super tiny) plantuber from Greece!! 😊 I started my plant collection a few years back, then I began watching videos, mostly to save my drowning plants, made quite a few friends, I then finally started my own channel, I keep meeting awesome people and my collection is now more than 500+ plants!! It's been a great community!! Have a great day!! 😊
Nerdy communities are the best! I've experienced it in the aquarium and aquascaping hobby for sure. The plants and fish I got to experience through that is amazing. Same in the watercolor art community! People are amazing if you let them be. A lot of us are introverts, but if you're also what I'd call an "intense hobbyist" just saying hi and admiring someone else's pride of their collection will bring you back so much knowledge and very often a plant on top, or whatever the hobby you're in celebrates. For new people: Seriously, just go to those events if you can! Just saying "I'm completely new at this, I have no idea what I'm doing, but I am hooked!" will get you so far, you have no idea. Love these videos!
I agree. I would say trying things out and diving in leads to more rewarding experiences than not. Lots of unknowns to learn and appreciate out there. Cheers!
Jimmy thanks for the refreshing content, don't get me wrong I enjoy the plant tours, re-potting, and propagation videos on RUclips but there is something to be said about the format you use in the "Jake Series". The format keeps it interesting, sort of like a podcast with a conversation between two people. Thanks again Thumbs Up!!!
Aw thanks so much! I am trying to provide something different because tbh I’m not that much a fan of plant tours, repotting, and propagation vids. Not to be snobby but I feel they are very superficial. Maybe the medical side of me is demanding more. Then again, I have and plan to make some ridiculous and senseless content 🤣🤣
I love the plant community! it is true people are always talking about other peoples YT channel and IG accounts to sharing the love and care for plants. I have definitely found so much help and advice and I really appreciate it. Thank you so much for sharing! :) regards from Scotland
This put my mind at ease. This week I had to throw away the majority of my plant collection because of bacterial blight that spread everywhere. At first it was purely just frustrating but yesterday I broke down in tears after having to throw away my Prince of Orange philodendron. I really just wanted to pitch everything and call it done. Of course it’s not rare or anything, but he was one of my favorites. My Rhap Tetrasperma has it and I’m more upset over a silly little POA Philo. I started collecting plants to help with my anxiety and depression but lately it’s felt very disheartening. I’ve been watching loads of videos today just to help me keep going with the hobby. Even though this week has been a huge bummer, the plant community has been so positive and helpful that I can’t see myself giving up. Plants and the plant community as a whole have really given me some peace so I’m trying hard to take it in stride and start over. But anyways, this channel is really great!! You cover topics not many people talk about and other topics in ways others haven’t; which is super refreshing and something I’ve needed. Thank you!
Aw thanks so much for following along. My sympathies to your collection; that would bum any of us out. It ruins my day every time I find root rot, and I still do on occasion due to my planting methods. Bugs remain a constant annoyance to me and you’ll see in future episodes that they are a problem for Jake too. People we consider better planters than us are simply people who have already made our mistakes. Hope your collection bounces back better than ever. Cheers!
Legends Of Monstera Thank you! That really puts it in to perspective for me (: I’m still learning and I never even knew bacteria and fungus were things I needed to keep an eye out for, I was only concerned with bugs. But now that I know, I can try my best to avoid it in the future and grow from it. Recollecting plants can’t be all that bad, am I right? Haha.
Hey! I’ll have to watch your plant swap and aeroid show now. Your friend has beautiful plants and great advice. I’m glad you have found a fulfilling hobby and I enjoy your insights. I find myself nodding a lot during your videos. I first got into plants about 20 years ago. 😬 I’m that old?! My college boyfriend’s mom was SUPER into plants. Like all kinds! From cactus to EVERYTHING! I felt so alive in her home. She lived in Seattle and there were a few great shops there so I caught the plantbug! There are so many awesome people I connected with young and old because of our common interest. I like how social media has given us the chance to bring cameras into homes and we can learn from each other! We plant nerds gotta stick together!! 😂My hubby is super supportive of my hobby but honestly he is not into it like I am. That’s okay! I’m not interested in all of his hobbies either. So I like to see what other plant fiends are up to. It’s very fun! Anyways, I’m rambling now. Thanks you’re awesome. 🌱♥️
Thanks so much for taking the time for such a personal comment. I think we all have fond plant memories in some form or another, and tbh are probably not shared often enough. The plant hobby now definitely isn’t what it used to be due to social media and cameras. I’m glad to be able to have an iPhone and passionate plant friends with great collections to share with the world.
Legends Of Monstera yeah, in response to the plant community being different...I’m a huge fan of big beasty plants. Like an aloe that has grown so large it is half crawling out of the pot. Or a woody snaggly stem on a jade plant that has seen some things 😂😉😉 I am intrigued by how strong and adaptable our green friends are! Nowadays I’ve seen a lot about the lust for perfection in a plant. Which is beautiful! But not real unless you got mad skills like you & your buddy. Plus humidifiers and lights. To be clear I’m not bashing anyone. I don’t get that vibe from you. But I do get it from browsing Instagram sometimes.
Hi Jimmy, I believe I met you couple years ago, we got along pretty well. Anyway, I too am a plant addict and almost fell out of my seat when I saw your face on this video. Absolutely love your collection. My house is loaded with humidifiers and plants too, but can never look jungly enough. Say hi to the prius for me! Take care.
I'm new to this channel and plants, my little collection at 20 is doing ok. Up here in Canada harder to get plants esp. now that winter is here. Love this series very inspiring
Also Jimmy and Jake thank you for talking about murdering plants and the social media aspect of it being deceiving sometimes. I am a novice and I’ve been murdering some of my babies and it’s messed with my confidence especially when I buy a cutting and try to root and fail. So thank you! Also I’ve listened to your videos while driving 😂 not watching which sucks lol
breaks my little heart that capitalism got to the plant community before I could get a Spiritus Sancti :( There's a spiritus on eBay going for almost 4k right now... 2 years ago it was on my wish list and I could never find it but when I did it was only about 500... Stupid silly me thinking that that was too expensive LOL if only I knew edit: just saw the end of the video where u thanked your viewers :) Thank YOU for taking the time to film and edit on top of a busy schedule to make really great content!
Haha I think the same about var adansonii and obliqua. But then again, I also remind myself that even 500 for a plant WAS ridiculous back then. It was even ridiculous last year. It’s really not only very recently with this craze, with its appreciation for plant rarity and origins and collectibility, that people feel it’s ok and acceptable to pay that much for a plant. Cheers!
This was an interesting one and I hadn’t thought about the social aspect of this community other than ogling the various amazing pictures on IG/RUclips and getting ideas on what I want next. My question would be if most folks keep their personal IG about separate from their planty ones. I’ve recently started to post pictures of my plants on my IG account but I’ve kept my account private because I mix other pictures of myself, family, and friends, and am deciding if it’s worth making a new IG account entirely dedicated to plants. I’m curious what you and others do about this 😊
I think your question is something a lot of people are dealing with. Jake mentioned it to me just a few weeks ago. I think it depends on whether you want your IG to be a “plant account” or a “plant personality account”? I personally have little issue sharing some personal stuff on my plant account, but then again I don’t share much personal stuff anyway. I guess if you are a frequent poster of personal things, it may dilute the plantness of your account. Yeah, think it’s a personal question lots of people are asking nowadays.
I was pretty pleased to hear Jake say that he killed a bunch of plants. I'm mostly an orchid person (starting to diversify more into other plant families) and one of the best orchid growers I know said you're not really an expert unless you've killed at least a hundred plants, and you're not a true professional unless you've killed at least a thousand. So what James and you said really reminded me of this. I'm digging your channel.
I would get a basic monstera deliciosa at your local basic garden center and see how you like it. It’s an easy starter plant that was the first for a lot of us and got us hooked. Cheers!
social media has a big influence,I'm on sick leave i realized all i do is to watch all about plant channel,...so intense that youtube could not find channel to recommend...lol.... the more video you watch the more wish list you have.....you cant please everyone as long as you are enjoying making vids.do it for those appreciating it, thank you for this series
All kinds of rare plants are very very wonderful.every plant lover love them but problem is they are so expensive everyone can’t buy them. When I saw them I feel very happy but When I can’t buy them I feel very 😞
Very true. I know that Jake and I usually bring stuff just to give away. I know others are very generous with their cuttings at the end of swaps as well. Cheers!
Super interesting content. But it’s very annoying to hear you only waiting to talk instead of truly listening to him. Lots of uh huh and yups behind the camera that were very unnecessary instead of giving the spotlight to the guy you were there to interview talk. Maybe just things to keep in mind next time you conduct an interview. Good luck, doing great otherwise!
Thanks for the feedback. Though it seems like it, this was not intended to be an interview or anything close to what these episodes turned out to be. It was originally a “let me come over and show your collection”. You are probably going to be annoyed with the future episodes also so be forewarned. Also, not quite sure if things will improve much in the future because I don’t plan to do interviews but more of chats I have with my plant friends. Cheers!
Legends Of Monstera thanks for the response and clarification! Do content that makes you happy man! I don’t want to be a bummer in the comment section to make this space toxic. Overall good information!
Not toxic at all and thanks for taking the time to provide constructive feedback! I do have some kinks to work out for sure so thanks for pointing things out I can improve on but may have overlooked personally. Cheers!!
Telling people about plant kindness yet selling your rare plants at a ridiculous high price...I dont think it's fair...I'm shocked when I saw your etsy shop especially the prices...at the end of the day its your channel your content, your etsy shop but I dont think it's sincere...I'm not asking for free stuff...but your prices are not fair and realistic at all
Totally understand where you are coming from but I’ll just say the following: 1. The Etsy is a partnership I have with growers and collectors in FL trying to provide domestically sourced plants. The domestic part is the reason for the higher pricing because the cost of acquiring these plants are simply higher. 2. There are plenty of other plant shops and places to buy plants out there. If they are domestically sourced and have lower prices, then please support them. There are also international options for those who want even lower prices. We are not trying to manipulate customers or prices.
Actually my opinion has changed, or more specifically corrected. I knew I felt something wrong with that last few vids, and I thought it was Jake. But it's not, Jake seems more likable and easier going by the vid. But YOU continually INTERRUPT him, or TALK OVER HIM!!!!! That shit is annoying as hell. LET HIM SPEAK!!!! Remember you are here to interview HIM!!!! YOU are NOT the story here... So jesus, find some self awareness, and STFU once in a while and let someone else speak. Cheers~!
I think you hit the nail on the head on the spirit of the plant community- sharing knowledge and passion for plants and not just showing off rare collections with empty content.
Thanks Angela! We start showing off plants next week but I assure you there’s quite a bit of discussion around them. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series!

Some of these "houseplant bloggers/influencers" just want followers and attention. Jake is one of those people that deserves the followers. Love his contents!
I agree Jake sets a high standard for fellow influencers regarding passion, knowledge, and depth of collection. Cheers!

Thank you for promoting a kind, caring, helpful plant community and for living by the words you preach! Love your videos - they've been very helpful.
Love watching someone thats down to earth with the rest of us thanks
I love Jake's shirt 😂
It's by @jrlefrancois on insta

So much interesting info and plants!! Continue to enlighten us
Haha trying my best to bring different content and viewpoints to viewers. Thanks so much for watching and following along.
Wawww so beautiful plants😍😍😍😍
Jake, you have am amazing collection of plants.
I am really enjoying all of your videos...I am inspired to just start where I am and do a tour of my plants on RUclips...Thank u!!!
Always better to try and see how it goes than to never try right? I started from scratch with no experience too. Good luck! Cheers!
Great video! And thank you for helpful advice you’ve given me in the past. Love the houseplant community 🥰
i cant wait for the next part. so exited. 🌱💚🌱💚
I love the plant community! it is true people are always talking about other peoples YT channel and IG accounts to sharing the love and care for plants. I have definitely found so much help and advice and I really appreciate it. Thank you so much for sharing! :) regards from Scotland

I'm loving your channel as we've just had a few inches of early snow here in the midwest. Keep it coming.
Haha thanks Debra! All the episodes for the rest of the year have been uploaded and scheduled so you’ll get at least one every week 🤗🤗.
Im crazy in love with plants now😍😍😍 im newbie here
Great series!!🙌🙌🔥 I think this is the first footage of length I’ve seen of the show!🌿
A++👏👏👏BRAVO
Haha thanks!! I promise some mindless generic plant tours in the future just for you 😉🤣
wow
I love this video!!
🤩😎 THANKYOU Jimmy, ur a wonderful person 😍😎🤗
Hi Jimmy, I believe I met you couple years ago, we got along pretty well. Anyway, I too am a plant addict and almost fell out of my seat when I saw your face on this video. Absolutely love your collection. My house is loaded with humidifiers and plants too, but can never look jungly enough. Say hi to the prius for me! Take care.
Haha small world. Hope you're doing well =)
Yup! Hope you are too
Love this!
Love this series!
I have a lot of plants, and I have killed just as many. Jake made me feel somewhat better when he admitted he has killed many.
Haha we all have killed a lot. More people, especially beginners, should be aware of that. Green thumbs come from lots of dead plants. Cheers!
Gladys Pichardo I was told you become an expert when you learn from killing a plant.
One of my plant friends said the same thing. It made me feel better. Behind each of the healthy plants there are a few dead ones too.
I'm new to this channel and plants, my little collection at 20 is doing ok. Up here in Canada harder to get plants esp. now that winter is here. Love this series very inspiring
Thanks so much for tuning in and joining us! Hope you enjoy the rest of the series!
Which Province?
Southern Ontario
@@judithwood779 almost U.S.A.
Loving these videos!!
Thanks so much! Hope you enjoy the rest of the series as well! Cheers and happy holidays!
Also Jimmy and Jake thank you for talking about murdering plants and the social media aspect of it being deceiving sometimes. I am a novice and I’ve been murdering some of my babies and it’s messed with my confidence especially when I buy a cutting and try to root and fail. So thank you! Also I’ve listened to your videos while driving 😂 not watching which sucks lol
Haha that’s fine. Some videos are perfectly fine with just the audio. The plant tours should probably on video though lol
breaks my little heart that capitalism got to the plant community before I could get a Spiritus Sancti :( There's a spiritus on eBay going for almost 4k right now... 2 years ago it was on my wish list and I could never find it but when I did it was only about 500... Stupid silly me thinking that that was too expensive LOL if only I knew
edit: just saw the end of the video where u thanked your viewers :) Thank YOU for taking the time to film and edit on top of a busy schedule to make really great content!
Haha I think the same about var adansonii and obliqua. But then again, I also remind myself that even 500 for a plant WAS ridiculous back then. It was even ridiculous last year.

I think your question is something a lot of people are dealing with. Jake mentioned it to me just a few weeks ago. I think it depends on whether you want your IG to be a “plant account” or a “plant personality account”? I personally have little issue sharing some personal stuff on my plant account, but then again I don’t share much personal stuff anyway. I guess if you are a frequent poster of personal things, it may dilute the plantness of your account. Yeah, think it’s a personal question lots of people are asking nowadays.
Wow 🤩
Great series, I’m sure this is almost everyone’s who is watching wish list or lots of them 😂
Oh you haven’t seen anything yet. We’ll be going through the plants in closer detail soon 😉🤗
Hermosas plantas
I was pretty pleased to hear Jake say that he killed a bunch of plants. I'm mostly an orchid person (starting to diversify more into other plant families) and one of the best orchid growers I know said you're not really an expert unless you've killed at least a hundred plants, and you're not a true professional unless you've killed at least a thousand. So what James and you said really reminded me of this. I'm digging your channel.
Thanks for following along and taking the time to comment Brad. By your criteria, I’m definitely well past expert level 😎😎🤣
Hi whoever sees this I'm starting a plant collection and I was wondering what kinds of plants I should grow. I already have ivy and pothos
I would get a basic monstera deliciosa at your local basic garden center and see how you like it. It’s an easy starter plant that was the first for a lot of us and got us hooked. Cheers!
Spider plants are super cool, sanseveria are fun to grow & are hard to kill. Do you like tall plants or trailing ones that hang?
I like trailing plants and I like to put them on moss poles
Legends Of Monstera I think I'll get a smaller species of monstera because the monstera deliciosas get big
Sometimes I fail to enjoy my plants because I have Too many...they cause me worry when I travel.
I’m on a 16 day trip. Hopefully still alive when I get back 😅🤞
I would love to attend a plant swap. i have a tall dracena I don't mind parting with a piece of it.
Which app was Jake mentioned? I want to join .
I don’t think there’s an actual app. Homestead Brooklyn has a website and calendar regarding the plant swap events that people submit.
social media has a big influence,I'm on sick leave i realized all i do is to watch all about plant channel,...so intense that youtube could not find channel to recommend...lol.... the more video you watch the more wish list you have.....you cant please everyone as long as you are enjoying making vids.do it for those appreciating it, thank you for this series
lol wow you must watch a ton for RUclips not to recommend anymore to you lol. But hey, better than daytime soap operas and trash TV right? Cheers!
Wish we have plant community here in Canada
You can start! It just takes a few people, and it’ll quickly build up!!
All kinds of rare plants are very very wonderful.every plant lover love them but problem is they are so expensive everyone can’t buy them. When I saw them I feel very happy but When I can’t buy them I feel very 😞
Yeah, things are definitely getting expensive. The prices reflect the rapid popularity of our hobby and the low supply of desired plants.
Hi doctor, how do I find plant swap locations ?
You can try connecting with other people in your area via Instagram and Facebook. Lots of swaps are through word of mouth.
Your home looks like mine
that m. dubia is huge
I think we’ll be seeing a closeup and discussion about it in Ep 36 or 37. We start looking at individual plants next week 🤗
Free stuff can be found at a plant swap
Very true. I know that Jake and I usually bring stuff just to give away. I know others are very generous with their cuttings at the end of swaps as well. Cheers!
Is there anyone knows plant swap in Toronto Canada? Also which app make mentioned?
Super interesting content. But it’s very annoying to hear you only waiting to talk instead of truly listening to him. Lots of uh huh and yups behind the camera that were very unnecessary instead of giving the spotlight to the guy you were there to interview talk. Maybe just things to keep in mind next time you conduct an interview. Good luck, doing great otherwise!
Thanks for the feedback. Though it seems like it, this was not intended to be an interview or anything close to what these episodes turned out to be. It was originally a “let me come over and show your collection”. You are probably going to be annoyed with the future episodes also so be forewarned. Also, not quite sure if things will improve much in the future because I don’t plan to do interviews but more of chats I have with my plant friends. Cheers!
Legends Of Monstera thanks for the response and clarification! Do content that makes you happy man! I don’t want to be a bummer in the comment section to make this space toxic. Overall good information!
Not toxic at all and thanks for taking the time to provide constructive feedback! I do have some kinks to work out for sure so thanks for pointing things out I can improve on but may have overlooked personally. Cheers!!
Telling people about plant kindness yet selling your rare plants at a ridiculous high price...I dont think it's fair...I'm shocked when I saw your etsy shop especially the prices...at the end of the day its your channel your content, your etsy shop but I dont think it's sincere...I'm not asking for free stuff...but your prices are not fair and realistic at all
Totally understand where you are coming from but I’ll just say the following:
1. The Etsy is a partnership I have with growers and collectors in FL trying to provide domestically sourced plants. The domestic part is the reason for the higher pricing because the cost of acquiring these plants are simply higher.
2. There are plenty of other plant shops and places to buy plants out there. If they are domestically sourced and have lower prices, then please support them. There are also international options for those who want even lower prices. We are not trying to manipulate customers or prices.
I thought his Instagram name was Keep Your Plant Son lol 😂
Lol that’s what I thought it was too. My initial impression was “hm... very aggressive” lmao
@@LegendsOfMonstera hahaha I'm glad it wasnt just me then. Thanks for the great videos Jimmy!
Actually my opinion has changed, or more specifically corrected. I knew I felt something wrong with that last few vids, and I thought it was Jake. But it's not, Jake seems more likable and easier going by the vid. But YOU continually INTERRUPT him, or TALK OVER HIM!!!!! That shit is annoying as hell. LET HIM SPEAK!!!! Remember you are here to interview HIM!!!! YOU are NOT the story here... So jesus, find some self awareness, and STFU once in a while and let someone else speak. Cheers~!
