Hi all,
I better step up my vlog game but I love getting a little more personal with you. I love making informative videos but it can get a bit repetitive & boring... so I appreciate adding a bit of variety to my content :)
Also, please show AJ some love :)

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thank you :)

[@greenbeard.affliction]

That was such a fun vlog!! You guys really bounce off each other

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thank you:)

[@lorrainetroughton4778]

Omg you two were so entertaining…got me laughing….a lot🤣🤣🤣 I thoroughly enjoyed the trip through the growers place.😘

[@DzejlanJaylaHadziefendic]

Aj and you are great! You should make separate channel together😊. Btw - having phobia of snakes…. after seeing the warning sign…. I kept “an eye” on you guys - was totally distracted- looking for snakes hidden in plants. Lol

[@catherineclewes2933]

Loved your vlog, love your vids sending cat cuddles to Braddles from the UK 🌱

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thank you :)

[@chilepombo255]

Love this vlog lol! I have a dark lord and have it placed high up so that I can appreciate the leaves from underneath - they are absolutely STUNNING and the new growth is spectacular... and the petioles... Dark and moody 19/10

[@alisonlundie1856]

Vlogging skills?? You are a natural. Having a blast watching you and AJ, washed down with a G&T 🍸

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thank you :)

[@tracyflood7485]

This was so fun to watch. Watching you interact with a friend really brought out your playful side. LOVED IT

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thank you :)

[@TheKawaiiKoala]

I got so much pleasure watching this video. Amazing country, people, jokes. 💕I keep silent about the plants because they are obviously gorgeous!
I felt like I was one of you and you both were my friends. Sigh.. E - is for envy.

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thank you :)

[@TheChrismichealblued]

wish i have a plant buddy like AJ. it's fun sharing time with someone with same love for plants. thanks for the vid and keep iy coming.

[@richardr5878]

I like some AJ. I could totally hang with her. Seems like the super fun friend. Your bit on variegation was too funny. People still flip for leaves that look like my hummingbirds pooped on them and go nuts cause it’s variegated. 😂

[@sydneyplantguy]

She’s the best :) haha yeah :D

[@melaniem5971]

I was drooling the whole time! Thanks for letting us tag along!😊

[@berlinaroids]

AJ must be the epitome of "Herzensmensch". Don't even know her but I already really like her so much. Loved the video, guys.

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thanks :)

[@plantyskies]

Let's all just go over to AJ's channel and flood it with likes and love please. She's such a bundle of joy!

[@rareplaid]

Loved this! Thank you Jan and AJ🪴💚🪴

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thanks :)

[@Pottedplantsandcookingpots]

I feel like I went plant shopping with you too, just by watching this, it was fun ;)

[@ninjaadaniel1674]

Yes! I love AJ!

[@caloyabella]

thank you for taking us plant shopping…its so nice to see a lot of beautiful plants. fun time with AJ 👍

[@humbleservant9313]

That was fun! Thank you for taking us along!😍.

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thanks :)

[@phonicfrog]

Watching you both have fun kinda cheered me up today, thank you!
Alocasias (elephant ear) are what started my plant journey, I found several growing in waste ground and potted them up (outside though because they're huge!)... then came the Philodendron, the Peace Lily, the Pothos family, my darling ZZ. They give me both joy and purpose, learning about them, fussing over them, buying them poles. Thank you for the beautiful planty content
❤

[@wheezelouise_]

Love this!
Would love to see more of these 😍

[@sydneyplantguy]

The moving vlog is coming wooho :)

[@Mellow.Sol999]

I love this video i cant wait for more!!!😁

[@jannamozdzer4100]

Love your first vlogging attempt! As much as i love all your videos I’d like to see more of this! You gave totally revolutionized the way I keep aroids!

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thank you :)

[@jillynnrekowski3106]

The two of you together are hilarious and adorable! I love the chemistry of your friendship ♥️

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thank you :)

[@loreleimaid]

The little variegated aquatic plant you liked seems to be houttuynia cordata, aka Chameleon Plant. Pretty invasive.
The comment about runners on the Amydrium struck me because my Monstera epipremnoides/esquilito has made some this winter. I don't know whether to cut them back or just be patient and see if they leaf out later.
Really enjoyed the plant shopping, but I would have been there looking for hours, ha.

[@jesselee3591]

Hahaha AJ, coconuts and d00dles
Feedback: Was hoping you would show us what you look for when buying. E.g. why pick one plant over the other.
Keep Vlogging Jan!

[@sydneyplantguy]

Fair call!! Obviously we want them to be pest free & apart from that really just whatever looks best :)

[@iddybiddyladybugleeza262]

This was so much fun!!!!

[@Loogiemistress]

That was great! Thank you :)

[@plantylali]

You two are always such a joy to watch! 😘

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thank you:)

[@jerseypecanpeach5469]

Omg you guys were reading my mind. I was just thinking about you showing us in the USA 🇺🇸 what it was like shopping for plants especially at Bunnings that we hear so much about. Thank you so much for the tours I really enjoyed watching it and jeez wishing I was there to buy some of those beautiful plants 🪴.😊

[@sydneyplantguy]

Glad you enjoyed it :)!

[@emmafiander3206]

I’m loving your videos can’t stop watching 😊

[@valiaudet3415]

Bunnings. So funny. I was caught in a major lightning storm last week and found Bunnings en route to shelter from the storm. 2 hours later I headed out. Not empty handed.😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉

[@miriamschram9397]

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thanks :)

[@kristinafohringer656]

I love your informational videos, and I’ve learned so much from them. But these videos with you and AJ… are friggin fantastic! The two of you obviously have such a great time together and it’s just awesome to be taken along 😊

Omg! You’re my absolute favorite! Please do a lot more of these!!!! 🥺😻

[@sydneyplantguy]

Will do!! Thanks :)

[@PSCINTEXTBOOKS]

Loved this combo 😍❤‍🔥

[@Epiphalactic]

Man how do I find plant people like you guys. I need people better and more knowledgeable to learn from. Nobody I know besides my mom is a plant person. I was pretty much exclusively an outdoor garden person, but. Got more house plants and have since become addicted. Putting my monstera on its first pole soon. It's growing like crazy and filled out it's pot and ready for another go.

[@sydneyplantguy]

Maybe check local facebook groups :)!

[@manabushltd3250]

Great Vlog! Awesome to finally see the legendary bunnings (for a non Australian) - it looks awesome - we have homebase which is similar - but crap. i think i would find it hard to leave the growers.

[@KathyGallagher01]

You and AJ are so funny together, it’s great to see you both having so much fun.
Hope you 😊and Brad 🐈 are settling in ok in your your home 💚

[@sydneyplantguy]

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thank you! Will do!:)

[@plant-a-holic]

Thanks for a another great video! A friend recently sent me this message and I’d like to share it with you:
“There will be people who say you buy too many plants, Those are not your people!!”🤣🤣🤣
Btw, I was drooling over the pot selection, and the low prices at your Bunnings!
Can’t find anything like that here in Florida or USA… ☹️

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thank you:)

[@jerryghoujalou5150]

[@lwhite9322]

Omg!! You two are like brother and sister. What a fun time!!! Wish I could tag along.

Thanks :)

[@jessemejones9648]

Holy crap! If I walked into my local Bunnings and find a Billie I would lose it!!!! Come on NZ buyers 🤞🤞🤞

[@dillonkentworth6718]

I love watching you and AJ together. I think we’d be friends if I lived there lol

[@mindfulmadeline]

really fun watching you guys be goofy!

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thanks :)

I wish i could live in that plant store!! ❤🎉

30:00 If you want the biggest leaf, get the wizard and the smallest is the princess.

[@camerlengograziedio]

You guys are so much fun together. You’re very informative and business like when you’re alone, and you two are goofy when you’re around each other.
So we have Home Depot, Orchard Supply Hardware, Lowe’s and Ace Hardware here, which is our version of Bunnings. If I ever visit Australia, I want to visit Bunnings even though I won’t be able to take any plants home just so I can feel like a local 😅

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thank you:)

Hey, i cannot help myself, but I somehow sense the slightest german accent when you are talking haha

Hey Jan :)
The waterplant 34:00 you asked for an id is Houttuynia cordata. In Germany it is sometimes used as a landscaping Plant but it is also quite tasty:)

[@YW4701]

Sydney Plant Guy, AJ and no cat name Brad 🪴 AJ😺. Bunnings is like B&Q/Homebase in the UK. Thank you for an entertaining video, and your take on Kim Kardashian (without im-plants) plant on bum 😆😆🧡🧡

[@MyLocsMyPlants]

the vareigated FLF 😂😭😂 you 2 are a good time for sure !

[@haleyelizabeth8378]

Just now seeing this, and I love it! 😆 Funny thing about y'all and the "elephant ear" type alocasia...mine only thrive indoors, and they flower constantly! I put them outside though, they just attract every pest in the neighborhood and shit out. And the jewel types? Lol, forget it. They die before I've even pulled into my parking space.

[@you_gullible_fucc]

I love your enthusiasm in this video! And your humor definitely comes out when around other people, I liked that variegation joke you made when AJ picked up that dying FLF. It's interesting to see what plants are available in the Australian market, even though there may be less variety compared to other countries. I'm lowkey interested about the process of getting plants in there given the strict policies, I heard that the plants all come from those small tissue culture cups

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thank you :)

[@Self-Love-e9p]

Jan...WOW!!.😍💓.. I really THANK YOU soo much because I really love this video!..💐😊.. My brother watched this video as well. He likes it and said, " All the plants are soo beautiful!".😍. We can get new experiences!... visiting your beautiful Apartment, the area in your city ( your beautiful Sydney), at AJ's Grower we could see new plants that we saw them for the first time, admiring AJ who has always sweet smile and laugh!.💖😅. She has a heart that is full of happiness!!.❤️.., the Bunnings Warehouse is a perfect place for me as a new plant lover ( There I can know and see everything about loving plants. ) and finally at AJ's Growing Grounds, she has beautiful plants!.💚.. And...Brad couldn't go there with you. He's faithfully waiting for YOU at home! 😻🤗.. Jan...💖 Thank you soo much for sharing these happy moments 😅. I look forward to watching your next collab videos!.. 😂 SO MUCH FUN!!..💞❤️💐🌸🥰😻🤗💚😊..
