Watching this from Africa, Nigeria to be specific and what she said about the African climate is actually spot on . Aside from intense sunlight in most parts, Nigeria for example has a long rainy season and a long dry season, so plants endemic to this area can go long periods without water/ neglect ( dry season) but yet can withstand lots of water and rain ( rainy season) . The snake plant is an ideal example of this. Lovely to see that genus and know that it’s from here. Summer, would you consider touring Africa? Nigeria 🇳🇬, Ghana and the lot. ?? We have a lovely horticultural scene here and I can bet you’ll run into plants you haven’t seen yet
I recommend Orquigonia in Guatemala for future plant conservation funds. Guatemala has a unique sub tropical mountain terrain with marked dry and wet seasons and is dealing with the quick extinction of cloud and dry forests due to mining and cattle. Orquigonia mostly rescues and ethically reproduces orquids to avoid poaching in the wild. It also tries to conserve other plants from the region and to make them available to the public. Part of my collection in Guatemala City and was formed from purchases from this wonderful organisation.
Sounds like Guanacaste in Costa Rica. I used to live in the southern end of CR, but I've been up near Nicaragua and it's a lot drier and less tropical. Lots of cattle too.
Summer is almost the only host that I prefer for her knowledge and education. Educating us novice plant keepers. We can see she is not afraid to say she has never seen some cultivars and her way of discussing plants in a knowledgeable way. Never asks dumb questions when shes visiting gardens around the world. She's such a natural host. And was thinking, does she work from a script? She does so well on these videos. The other RUclips posters are a little to dinghy for me. Have been watching her posts a long time now. Always learn something from her and her guests.
Sometimes I’m amazed by the plants that actually start getting mass-produced. I live in Malaysia and has noticed Begonia Chlorosticta, which is pretty much extinct in the wild, becoming made widely available & very affordable thanks to the efforts of local nurseries. Won’t be surprised to see other rare plants like Begonia Darthvaderiana being made widely available through tissue culture at some point.
you nailed it Summer, your tours lately restarted me on buying new plants. before I was just grabbing a few collector begonia from a specific small grower, so it was a small drip. then you did these tours and here i am hundred of dollars later - lol 😭 ! love watching this channel grow! brings me so much joy 🥲
So glad to meet you after touring Mick P. From Philadelphiss' s apartment. He is modest so we meefef to see that and you are as stronge as an oak Rayne glad to meet you
The A. carlablackiae is absolutely stunning ~ it has to be my favourite for introducing to the houseplant market...I hope the producers are listening to you and taking note! I love the idea that it has micro 'lenses' on its upper leaf surface to maximize light absorption. I've learnt from watching your channel Summer that plants are not just so completely beautiful, but are full of such surprises! ~ reminding us of the almost miraculous dynamics 'hiding' within plants to improve their prospects for survival.
More Nephthytis please! I've seen colours online that are only sold by a small group of sellers which are way out of my price range. I would love to see more Philodendrons, and Epipremnums as well.
I've seen people throwing out cuttings of their house plants after pruning them in fields opposite their homes, hoping they would turn into compost. But if you have something like the Gonatopus with house plant enthusiasts like the ones mentioned above... Yes it would be a problem if it becomes an invasive species.
It seems like a much greater diversity of plants are easily available than a generation ago. There are so many pepperomias, alocacias, and philodendrons, for example. I hope this trend continues as I can’t imagine houseplants losing popularity in general.
I’ve been seeing carlablackiae in my anthurium research. Those who have them seem to be hybridizing with other more available anthuriums. I finally figured out that anthuriums are the vibe I’m looking for for my home. Adding carlablackiae as an ultimate wishlist plant!
I’d like to see more Thelychiton adae. They are from the cloud forests of North Queensland. They can handle the heat and cold, live for months without water and have flowers that smell like neroli. I think they are old fashioned and need to be brought back.
Do you theorize that the action your ZZ plant took in response to environmental pressures (e.g. part of a leaf got broken) is a similar evolutionary effect as we see in the "Sensitive plant" (Mimosa pudica) when touched? It would be so interesting to learn about more plants that actually physically react to more than just light direction.
@@lolybiol Actually I have not, I wouldn't have thought plants had any structures to hear so I would be interested in their theories and what the research is.
Summer beautiful picks. The last one breathtaking but not so much the price, so I do hope it goes into production. Loved the video. I hope you were able to help the poor chicken.
Wow, we're really getting high-brow now with this exclusive wish list; I enjoyed the fun and finesse of this episode. Also, you mentioned trying unique plants outdoors as well; you probably know about the shredded umbrella plant, Syneilesis aconitifolia. If you maybe included Scott Arboretum (Swarthmore College campus) in your recent jaunt to Philly, you may have seen this not too far from the world-famous collection of peonies.
Greetings from Poland 🌿. Yesterday in a DIY store I saw macodes sanderiana at €9,I bought a Dracena Masoniana =Whale fin at $8...Pink Princess is sold at a grocery store"Biedronka"🐞at$2.5. Two point five dollar!!!! It's insane. Nowadays in a lot of stores in Poland you get verrucosum, huge Melanochrysum at very low prices. Take care🌿, Irena
I just picked up a black velvet alocasia as a gift for a friend recently. Very reminiscent of the anthurium carlablackiae. Those leaves are just too irresistible to not touch.
Gonatopus boivinii--love the stems! And Anthurium carlablackiae--available for a mere $750 at a couple of online stores. Lol. Thanks for pointing out some new to me plants!
A lot of those plants remind me of when I lived in Costa Rica. They have plants growing wild in jungles and as "weeds" in people's yards that we pay a lot for here in the states. My yard there has a lot of cool wild plants that would be expensive here.
Hi Summer Rayne Oakes, when I saw your video with the amorphophallus henryi, I fell in love immediately. There is a really nice alternative to that right now. The amorphophallus atroviridis. I can only recommend you to take a look at them. The plant also has this pink edge and dark green velvety leaves. Unfortunately, I don't know how readily available the plant is in the states. Here in europe it is already being sold commercially. Warm greetings from Germany
I have a Gonatopus! I work at a my local zoo Horticulture department and we get plants from different places around the city. Really interesting plant and it feels cool to have such an uncommen plant.
I got an apoballis in a 4 inch pot for $15. The lady I got it from said it’s like a peace lily crossed with a homalomena. It’s been easy to care for so far.
What did Tom respond regarding the botanical gardens partnering with growers? As i watched that video I kept thinking they could make a lot of money and make a lot of folks happy. The plants were so lovely.
I def am interested in growing plants for conservation. I think for indoor plants I struggle on how to start . But outside growing native plants that I am trying to conserve.
Hi Summer! Ok, so... we grow tropical plants in greenhouses (commercial scale) in Southern Quebec, I'm a huge fan of Alocasias, Colocasias and Anthuriums! Anything with crazy colorful leaves I just love! I would love to get the names of new nurseries 😬 please!
I loved the Nephthytis genus. Can't wait for them to become available as house plants. I'm personally mostly interested in botanical species and I find the idea of growing them for conservation very appealing. There are two species that I've been looking for, but they seem practically impossible to come by here in Europe. They are Adelonema wallisii and Siderasis fuscata. I think Nick Pileggi has both species in his collection, so they're probably a bit easier to come by on your side of the pond. I've also watched a video by an Australian lady who has a A. wallisii. They're still not common house plants though.
There's a large science facility researching a vast range of topics concerning plants, fruits and vegetable production, and so on, in the city where I currently live. If there was an opportunity to work with them as an amateur, houseplant enthusiast, I'd definitely take it!
I'm extremely curious to learn more about Nephthytis. It seems that Syngonium are listed in the same family as Nephthytis, which is news to me! And they remind me a lot of a newer genus, Ulearum, which can be propagated by stem cutting similarly to Nephthytis. I would love to learn more. I love the look of them!
I just came here to say I am also obsessed with true African Nephthytis. Both Nephthytis swainei and Nephthytis hallaei are at the top of my wishlist. It makes it difficult to track down sources when so many people use "Nephthytis" as a synonym for "Syngoniums." They are both great genera, but not the same. Also, we need to normalize indigenous North American Aroids in cultivation. Really, just more native plants in the home and garden period, but give me some Symplocarpus, Lysichiton, or Arisaema in my local garden center!
It seems people nowadays are so obsessed with leaf plants. Call me old fashion but I prefer house plants that bloom magnificently. Orchids, azaleas, epiphyllums, clivia.
Yes but leave room in your heart (and your wish list) for foliage plants anyway. I too come from decades of craving color from tropicals - Mandevilla, Allamanda, Bougainvillea, Phalaenopsis, Abutilon, Hibiscus, Passiflora. But often the foliage tropicals offer some features not present in blooming tropicals. Who isn't tempted by the elegant leaf outline of a Philodendron 'Florida Beauty'', or the black wiry stems of Adiantum peruvianum 'Silver Dollar', or the comic book brush strokes of Calathea 'Lancifolia'. It is great fun to leave room in your plant palette for new groups of creatures you may have overlooked.
@@giardinodialberi8751 In terms of indoor leaf, I am very much obsessed with subtropical ground orchids from the Cymbidium genus, such as the Cymbidium kanran and Cymbidium goeringii. Really wish they are more popular here.

Apoballis has been in Australia for couple years but haven't really taking off they have it in Big Box store (Bunnings). The don't really do well in cooler climate... i found them to be a bit fragile. Look good but not something i go out to get it.
There has to be the coolest plants from Africa but who wants to go there to collect when there are so many dangers. Check out a palm called sclarosperma manii. Another cool plant from Africa that is soooooo hard to get
I had JUST recently become aware of the Carlablackiae!! Such a stunning anthurium! I've heard they're really hard to get your hands on so far🙄 does anyone know if this is true? Is it one of those plants where you have to know a guy? Lol
Hi, someone please help !?! I am looking for a specific houseplant but don't know it's name, is there a good plant identifier without the need for photo's...lol
Gonatopus boivinii is a seriously fecund plant, though I am speaking here from the perspective of a tropical grower.; these may be better behaved in cooler climes. Even a moderate breeze can knock off leaflets that quickly form corms. Plantlets appear on neighboring pots, requiring culling. A friend refers to these as 'The Pestilence' as plants can quickly choke even a decent-sized space in just one growing season if not controlled aggressively. As I can only maintain a couple, I must've killed perhaps hundreds of small plants/leaflets in the more than 10 years that I have had the aforementioned two.
i've heard anthurium crystallinum is so common in i think thailand (or taiwan or vietnam, i can't stop mixing up their names) that some store owners just give them away to people that shop from them
I’ve always felt that anthurium crystallinum is on the verge of becoming as affordable and ubiquitous as pothos, if it’s not already there. It has the right combination of attractiveness and ease of growth. (Also, remember when Monsteras used to be the “it” plant?)
I used to live in Costa Rica. I saw plants in nurseries there for $2 that would cost $50 in the states. I had quite the collection of interesting plants in the greenhouse I built to live in. Lots of bonsai starts too, species of ficus strangler figs you can't get here, and a crazy bouganvilla collection.
@@rakyat_biasa91 i'm from turkey so monsteras were always one of those plastic looking living room plants responsible for sending many kids to the hospital (or worse yet, 6 feet under) after they eat through the whole thing like a caterpillar and the new variegated monstera craze is way too snobby and expensive for it to pick up here so, not really?
I think it’s starting but I’ve been waiting forever it seems to see the cebu blue pothos at my local stores. I finally saw one the other day at a specialty shop but it was $50 for a 4” very sparse plastic pot. It looked like a stem cutting. I don’t understand this one because it seems to be an easy fast grower. $50 for a 6” very full plant would have been okay but a stem cutting in my opinion shouldn’t be more than maybe $10.
Buy a couple, grow them out and propagate more, and sell them cheaper so more people can enjoy them. That's the business I'm thinking about getting into.
@@jerrywhidby. Wow, I am super envious right now. Hopefully I will see more in my area soon and at a much more reasonable price. I will be patient a little while longer 😁
Great video THANK YOU , , unfortunatelly , way too dificult for my pea brain to take in , if you asked me what a Chlorophytum comosum was ? i would say , not a clue, if you said a spider plant , i woulld say i have loads LOL , , saying that you do a wonderfull job , but common names as well as the botanical would really help less well educated folk like myself AGAIN , thankyou

I just bought 2 of those for 4.30 USD but then I live in a country where plants are very affordable.
Buy a couple, grow them out and propagate more, and sell them cheaper so more people can enjoy them. That's the business I'm thinking about getting into.
Hmm I picked one up at Walmart just a little while back for $20.

@@jerrywhidby. Wow, I am super envious right now. Hopefully I will see more in my area soon and at a much more reasonable price. I will be patient a little while longer 😁
I mean no disrespect to you or your partner, if you have one:
You are one fly señorita.
Great video THANK YOU , , unfortunatelly , way too dificult for my pea brain to take in , if you asked me what a Chlorophytum comosum was ? i would say , not a clue, if you said a spider plant , i woulld say i have loads LOL , , saying that you do a wonderfull job , but common names as well as the botanical would really help less well educated folk like myself AGAIN , thankyou
are you gonna ditch your ny flat? that's kinda sad, maybe get someone who loves plants to move in, cause you made that place really plant friendly
What's wrong with your zz?
From the very first day, I wanted to tell but I do hesitate all the time-She looks like Kendall Jenner
Instead of "between two ferns: its "between two zz's"
