Touching 'Decades-old' Rare Plant Trade Stories Shared by Mr Chandra in Indonesia - Before Instagram

  • Опубликовано: 2 авг 2024
  • I have had a lot of chat sessions with Mr Chandra where he shared tons of personal stories about his collection and people he met along the way, so I figured I would create an episode to celebrate his stories. In this episode, Mr Chandra shares some plants and stories behind them. He is single-handedly responsible for bringing in many of the rare mother plants into Indonesia, which ended up benefiting local growers. His stories are interesting, moving, and full of gratitude. When I was filming this, my arm hair was standing on its end most of the time!

    Thank you for asking him how his P. Spiritus Sancti died! I so wanted to know! And it's so reassuring to know that even experts kill plants on occasion. I also loved hearing how the P. Paraiso Verde got its name!

      I watched an older video that Shaun put out about how he has learned through the death of some plants under his care how much he's learned through the experience of each plant. He also mentioned not to beat ourselves up over the loss because it's just part of the life we live with plants. I'm paraphrasing, of course, but his words definitely made me think and appreciate all my other plants who continue to live so beautifully for me. I value your choice of the word "reassuring" because you're right...it is reassuring to know that experts experience the highs and lows of plant care as well. Reality at it's finest, eh? lol
