I am absolutely LIVING for your documentary-esque plant videos. I’ve recently been researching about different anthuriums because of your previous videos but learning about the history of the different species of anthuriums really facilitates my want to get an anthurium into my collection when I get the chance to
YES! Go for it! If it's your first anthurium ever, I list a few easy species that are not too ubiquitous in my "Why is everyone scared of anthuriums" video you could try out!
Perfection! This is one of the best nature videos I have seen on the internet. What a beautiful combination of scientific documentary, ethical narrative and humor. This right here is your fortune and glory.
i just had a feeling you were gonna purposefully miss pronounce the name since you have a great sense of humor but the immediate break down of the word made it so attainable 😅 and educational at the same time. thanks for the videos.
Your videos are like a box of chocolates you never know how much awesome content is going to be there before you click. you don't know what you're going to get from the title, but one thing is for sure it's sweet and often too short x
that name drop 😂 ... Love the video.Ty for this. Lately I've been having spikes of ethical dissonance about keeping these wild specimens in my home in a cabinet. I don't want to support the destruction of their native homes :(
I don’t blame you. While there’s nothing wrong with having plants in our home, we definitely should make sure they are ethically sourced. ie buying rare plants grown from seed or TC, then you know they were not plucked from the remaining localities in nature. I mention some ethical plant buying practices we can all consider in my dressleri video from a few weeks back😉
Thank you Jake for the time and effort you put into the content for the video, and if I may say narrated to perfection 👍👏 No I’m not arse licking I just really enjoyed it. 😉🌱💜
Bravo! 👏🏻 You did an outstanding job on this video! I agree with you about purity. We have no idea how many times a plant mutated before we came into contact with it. I believe that most of these plants are hybrids due to how nature pollinates them. Collecting and breeding a plant because of its individual characteristics is more valuable to me than having an elite name. It makes me sad to see people paying hundreds of dollars for a sprouted seed or a tiny seedling that they have no idea how it will grow out and what inherited attributes will manifest. Keep up the great work!
I'm getting back into my houseplants after 6 months (of focusing on my outdoor plants), man did I miss A LOT in the plant world. Your videos got me up to speed w/ Anthuriums. I kinda bought a dozen different crosses and cultivars in the past few weeks. Anthuriums could be like the different breeds of dogs. We have selectively bred them for specific, desirable, traits. I'd like to see all the flat-sinus bunch get together and make a perfectly triangle leaf. 👍
Very well done video! Just one point about “purity.” I agree that there shouldn’t be such a high emphasis on “pure” paps in horticulture, especially considering the high demand and how many different forms of paps that naturally exist. But from a conservation stand point, it is important that some paps are bread as pure as possible, because this is a way of preserving the species ex-situ. With poaching and other disturbances to their natural habitat, if they ever come to a point of near or total distinction in-situ, we would need paps as pure as we can get to re-introduce back to where they were, to hopefully re-establish the native ecology. I wouldn’t count on commercial, for-profit nurseries as the primary actors in doing this job though.
I completely hear what you’re saying and would love for botanists to have breeding programs like this. Kind of like how they grow hardy coral to rebuild dying reefs. Coral is not a plant but the preservation effort I think is comparable. The main problem is that these aroid growers that are trying to “preserve purity” are only doing it to sell. Not save the species. Because hybrids are everywhere and less valuable overall. A plant that is guaranteed a pure species will be more valuable on the market and sell for more. Honestly if I had the resources I would do it myself. Make a video about how I replanted 1000 rare aroids in the wild, Mr beast style lol. But someone recently told me that cultivated versions of plants change overtime to a point where they might be functionally useless. For example many orchids in cultivation lost their fragrance since they were constantly being human-pollinated and no longer needed to attract pollinators. So reintroducing those orchids into the wild might be completely pointless if they aren’t able to attract the right pollinators and make seeds. I’m not super knowledgeable on this topic and am learning more about it. Also I think it would be hard to justify protecting species that don’t have an obvious direct impact on humanity. Something people can get behind and fund. People are rebuilding reefs because they protect the shores from big waves during storms. Healthy reefs also keep the entire coral ecosystem healthy and vigorous, which attracts more tourists for snorkeling and scuba diving, stimulating the economy. I’ve gone scuba diving several times and you truly feel like an astronaut visiting an alien world. But I hope one day there are aroid breeding programs out there solely for the purpose of wild reintroduction.
Thanks to you, I now know how to pronounce Papillilaminum, but I won't remember how to spell it. Haha I'm so glad I don't care for rarity, purity, exclusivity or the need to have it all. Keep up with these informative contents- this is your mote!
I don’t know if I said this the first time I watched this video.(I just got a fort Sherman, so I wanted to watch it again.) but your educational videos are excellent. you could totally work for National Geographic.😂

🥰🙏thank you!
Love this! You’ve got skills Jake! I would love to see more educational videos like this!
More to come!😁
Amazing! I’d watch a whole docu-series! This made me laugh while it was educational and informative! Much appreciated.
Glad you enjoyed it! More like this on the way☺️
I literally heard the quotation marks when you said "preserve purity". Thank you for this video!
I’ve heard that phrase so many times in the anthurium community, and I’m SICK of it😂
I love your channel ! I’m learning so much from you ! Please continue to educate us this way ! Humor and National Geographic vibe 😂❤️
Absolutely!
I simply can’t get enough of your content. Literally obsessed. Fabulous work, Jake!!!!!!
Thanks!!
you're one of the only plant youtubers i know that actually talk about houseplants from a botanical perspective.
That’s my goal! There’s so much science to plants that is really fascinating!😁
Excellent subject, magnificent production, terrific script. I've run out of superlatives...
More videos like this, please ❤
Haha! I appreciate that!🙏
I second those superlatives!
@@sierragenessee 😄
Omgosh you have me chuckling. Really enjoy the humorous yet informational videos. Thank you. Look forward to more of these.
More to come!
I’m so impressed by the level of thought and information you put into your videos. I hope your channel takes off one day.
Fingers crossed!🙏
i just had a feeling you were gonna purposefully miss pronounce the name since you have a great sense of humor but the immediate break down of the word made it so attainable 😅 and educational at the same time. thanks for the videos.
Haha! Some of these botanical names are hard NOT to mispronounce 🤣
This is really well done! More like this please!!!
Your videos are like a box of chocolates you never know how much awesome content is going to be there before you click. you don't know what you're going to get from the title, but one thing is for sure it's sweet and often too short x
Haha! Wow, that’s the best compliment I’ve ever received. Thank you!😁🙏
Beautiful work Jake ❤ Very well done!
Awesome video! A series like this would be very cool 💚✨
More to come in the near future!
Thank you for such a balanced perspective in the video. 😊
Yes! Love your view point and voice for nature!

thank you very much! i feel like no one is saying what needs to be said: PURITY DOESN'T MATTER (or even exists)
Dude I so love you and your videos 😂😂
Well shuckssss thank youuu🥰
Oh my gosh! Those “paps” are gorgeous! Another great history video Jake!
Thanks!!☺️
Dude! Excellent video. Loved it!
Glad you enjoyed it!☺️

Amazing video! Thank you!
Awesome video!! I really appreciate what your doing for the Anthurium community!
Thank you!😄
Merciiii merci merci !!! Sublime documentaire que je place dans mes favoris 😍 du vrai travail de pro ✨✨😍
Thank you!😁🙏
Hi Jake☺️🙌You're absolutely fabulous with presentation😱🤲💖💖💖
Thank you☺️
Love, love, love❤. Thank you!!!
I enjoyed this video. Please do more plant history

Excellente vidéo , merci beaucoup, j'adore ce format, très intéressant et instructif ! J'apprends énormément sur les anthuriums avec vous 💚
Glad I can be helpful!😁
Excellent!
That video is very educational
Ty!
Love your content
Love the Segway of the sistine chapel
I do love being dramatic 😌🪭
You could actually have your own nature program!!! Thank you! Xx
Maybe one day!
Thanks to you, I now know how to pronounce Papillilaminum, but I won't remember how to spell it. Haha
I'm so glad I don't care for rarity, purity, exclusivity or the need to have it all. Keep up with these informative contents- this is your mote!
It’s all about the love for plants!☺️
Informasi yang sangat membantu dan bagus
Thanks for letting me use your beautiful photos and videos!😊
Your welcome 🙏🙏
Great video thnx
Papi-lsnhdbdhhdjdbdjdkminum! I felt every bit of that! Yo you had me crying even my husband stopped playing his game like wtf!😂😂😂💚🌱
Bahahahaha! If only I coulda seen his face at that moment🤣
I hope I’m reincarnated as a sloth in the jungles of Panama
💚🦥💚
literally same
David Attenborough Jr. is that you? 😜
🤣ngl when I feel like I can’t finish a voiceover I just try to imitate him so I can get through it😅
Hopefully papillilaminums will be tissue cultured to drive the price down, thus stopping the poaching efforts
Hopefully soon if not already in the works!
Beautiful and hilarious
IT looks almost EXACTLY like my Raven Soul!!! By the way...this video was freaking TOP NOTCH!!!!! 🔥 👌 🤌
Thank you so much!💚💚💚
A young David Attenborough!
Haha David jr
I don’t know if I said this the first time I watched this video.(I just got a fort Sherman, so I wanted to watch it again.) but your educational videos are excellent. you could totally work for National Geographic.😂
Thank you! I appreciate that!😋
That's the buffest plant I've ever seen 😅
She said millions of years 😂
She certainly did😌
Waiting for you to call it “papilloma virus”
One I’ve never heard of that, what a missed opportunity 😆
These videos are so incredible. I hope you never stop making these documentary videos. I leave inspired and happy every time.
I appreciate you saying that!:D
