Greetings from Georgia, USA (zone 8b) My husband and I watch your videos and have started a jungle garden in our backyard.
We are having the best time!
Warms my heart to hear....thank you so much for sharing!! Hope to see your backyard one day😊
I watched your very informative video on all the various non soil mediums. I found it fantastic when you explained each potting medium and what they do. Thank you Irene 😊💓
I love that you started your greeting with Filipino :D
Same here!! Thanks Irene!!!😄
Indonesian as well...💞💞
Me too.and i watched again and again.
Watching here from the Philippines
Watching from Philippines!! Thanks so much❤❤❤
Sending garden love from Nepal! I love finding plant people in Asia with quality, informative content in English, like yours! Thank you!
mabuhay! :) just so thrilled you greeted your viewers in filipino. loving your vlogs a lot, maybe because we're both living in a tropical region so your plant suggestions will really work for us here in the philippines.thank you so much, irene!
I like this vlog Ma'am. Proud to be a Filipino when you said "Mabuhay"!😍
Before seeing the serenity of yr garden, hearing u talk is already so calming...
Oh wow...thank you thank you😊😇
After seeing several of your videos I decided I want to create/grow a tropical garden. So this video showed up at a very good time for me (thank you RUclips 😉 ).
Well. As a landscape architect, I really love the lush green of the tropical gardens. Thanks for sharing!
Greating from Vietnam!
Really honoured to hear this! Thanks so much🥰😊
Ohhh wow! I was so surprised when you suddenly greeted a Filipino language. You are so sweet!
I feel so refreshed seeing your garden and really happy for being so unselfish sharing everything about your fantastic garden ideas. More power to you and more vloggs to watch from your channel..
Thanks Sarang! I'm working on the next video now and so encouraged by your words😊
i cant help rewatching your vlog bec. of you i learned a lot...i emproved my garden into tropical look bec. i have several trees..thank you very much Irene...Good Luck...
You have a beautiful garden with a wonderful variety plants👌love it all❤ Thank you for sharing 🤗🙏🙏
Irene…Mabuhay! I’m a Filipina and I love your channel! I’m an academic Dean of nursing and indoor gardens are my favorite hobby! Sending you love from Phoenix Arizona US!
I really love your vlogs Irene!! I learn a lot and am so inspired! Kudos and more power!
Soooooo gorgeous..... cant get enough of tropical plants 😁👍
I have a garden in Bangkok, and agree to your selection of plants. Very good, and I especially like the Frangipani (Plumeria) tree that comes in many shapes, with beautiful flowers and it is easy to grow. I also like the bird nest fern (Asplenium nidus) since it can easily be grown both on the ground and up in the trees. I prefer it up in the trees, where it can also serve as a substrate for other ferns or even orchids that grow on it. What I want to add to your list is palm trees as they really make a garden lush and tropical. For a small or medium sized garden, I recommend two species. The MacArthur palm and the Golden Cane palm. They are both cheap, readily available and grow fast. They are both clumping, but you can trim the number of trunks. Height is up to 3-5 m, the MacArthur being a bit taller and the Golden Cane being a bit more voluminous. Hope this is useful.
Very helpful, Jorn! Just what I need for the next video I'm working on! I wanted to feature more accessible (read cheap!) and underrated plants for the tropical garden amidst the aroid craze now. Malaysia just went into ultra strict lockdown again - if you have these palms in your garden, and would like to contribute the images to the video to be feature, pls send them to me i@irenechen.com Thanks!
Such a beautiful tropical plant, very inspiring....thanks Irene
Wow I'm glad you have lots of Filipino viewers as well😍
Hello Irene !Im Beth from the Phil.I've been watching your videos for quite sometime and Im learning a lot .I'm also enjoying your tours with your friends' garden.God bless
Such a beautiful and Unique VLOG
I love that you greet your Filipino subscribers in our native language. ♥️♥️♥️
Its so nice to hear our ASEAN neighbor greeting us in their vlog ❤️
Hellooo neighbour, salamat po! 😃😃😃
Great tips. Looking forward and excited to see what I can do with my balcony. Thanks for the tips.
I also agree with the heliconias...I planted 2 tiny heliconia rostrata in my backyard in indonesia... the ground is mostly made of construction debris, but they don't care! They are spreading all over the place and flowering all the time. Hero of my garden
Have been watching your videos for the last few months. I just love the tropical gardens in ur videos. Above all, your voice is so so soothing and has a calming effect. Lots of Love from the Northeastern part of India 🥰🥰

I have some of the plants that you featured. I'm now fixing my concrete planter box Infront of the house.
Thank you for sharing your list of plants.
Tqsm for sharing tropical garden and jungle
Very excited to see another video Irene. A very worthy list and it got me thinking of my list here in Australia. I would have to include the very versatile Cordylines and Crotons for big foliage colour. Palm trees for the canopy. Bromeliads that can grow as epiphytes or on the ground in all sizes and colours. It’s difficult to limit your choice in a tropical garden there are so many gorgeous plants to choose from.. Thankyou for posting, you’re such a natural on camera.
Helloooo Andrew! Happy new year and am always so happy to hear from you and specific ideas! I was considering Cordylines too which seems to be so easy for others but I struggle with them...I think due to lack of sunlight and they are frequently suffering from fungal attacks in my place. Maybe that's why I took it out of this "easy" list. Bromeliads also nice but have this risk that the mosquito can breed in them so not a basic plant I want to suggest. Crotons... believe it or not I haven't got one and so didn't cross my mind! I might do a follow up on adding "fancier" plants to these basic starter kit later😃
@@leafing.around happy new year to you as well Irene. Yes absolutely a gardeners list is personal to what has worked in their experience. My garden, in my location has a lot of strong light and undoubtably lower humidity than your location so suits many sun loving plants. Loved your list though and will have to try some of your suggestions that I don’t haven’t come across yet. Always excited when I see you have posted another video delivered with your quirky sense of humor.
I really enjoyed your video, Irene. You are so beautiful and kind. I love how thorough you are with the different plants. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you Viv!🌿🌴🍀🥰
You are my FAVOURITE! Thank you Irene 🙏
Oh wow...thank you Kristy! I had a really bad day with the albo dying today and this cheers me up😊
I would like to have a tropical garden like yours one day, i wish i could make similar to yours with a vertical garden.
I love all the plants you posted.
Thank you so much for such informative input. I am slowly developing my tropical garden...
Thanks very much, I enjoyed your video. I love the Boston fern in particular as well as the Pathos plant. I'm going to check out their availability here in the UK. Especially as I love ferns. I love your garden by the way!
Thanks Paul! Yes, those should be very readily available also in the UK altho' I'm often amazed how you keep tropical plants there!
Precious tips, thanks Irene.
Love your vlog and that macrame planter behind you.

Love this and I totally agree about dieffenbachia as an underrated plant. There's too much craziness over rare plants.
Yes yes and yes! I think I am getting over rare plants. Esp the variegated ones...omg...such a source of...stress! One died o me today. Sparking no joy at all.

So happy to hear this- thanks Janet! Actually I felt I was waffling a bit and repeating myself in this video but can't be bothered to record again😄.

I really love plants you have.nice and beautiful mam
Wow amazing miss Irene you speak tagalog one language here in the Philippines. Thanks for the tips i want also to have a jungle garden but sad to say i want a big space for this garden. Dreams comes true this year. God bless you. 😍🤗
Hehe...I have a good teacher! Small spaces can make a cosy garden too. I know quite a few people have amazing balcony gardens! God bless you too Jeez!
In future i will make my garden
And your videos are inspiration for me
Love your videos thanks 🏞😍😍😍
I would add Bromeliads to that mix. They come in a huge variety, some beautiful tropical reds, purples, lime greens and yellows, don't take up much space, and are great for both vertical gardening and adding height and elegance to ground plantings.
True...they look like huge flowers!
Greetings from Philippines
Nice video thanks for sharing
