Weird and Wacky Houseplants with Araflora - Plant One On Me - Ep 072

  • My trip to the Netherlands back in February proved to be such a fruitful trip. Though I was there for less than a week, I wanted to make sure I made time to meet some of the growers, and Gert from Araflora was highly recommended to me-not only for his knowledge and passion, but also for his weird, wacky, and wonderful collection of plants.
    There are quite a few varieties here that are not easily findable in the states, so I hope this video really expands your imagination to what plants you can possibly grow indoors.
    I was lucky enough to take a number of Gert's plants back (thanks to Ronald from Fertiplant). You'll have to sit tight for next week (spoiler alert) because I'll be doing an unboxing of the plants then.
    If you want to check out Gert's plants, you can do so at araflora.com/. Just remember: if you're importing plants in across countries, you'll need a phytosanitary certificate (and perhaps even an import license)! I used www.fertiplant.... for my Phyto from the Netherlands.

    Hey Summer, somebody needs to tell that nice guy that plant at 12:30, it isn't a cactus. I think it's what may be commonly called a mesem, something in the Aizoaceae. It is Trichodiadema densum, in the ice plant family Aizoaceae. Those spines on it look like they come from areoles, but the growth habit is really weird for a cactus. Those spines are on the end of leaves, not tubercles. And if there's no fluff at all at the base of those spines, that indicates they aren't areoles, so it really can't be a cactus.
