My rarest variegated plant finally grew 😫💜 Indoor fruit trees, Prayer plant science, Hoya flowers

Join me for some plant updates and houseplant chores! Showing you my rare variegated Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum (tree philodendron) and talking about slow growth! How do prayer plants pray and move their leaves? Can you grow fruit trees indoors? Results of testing out bougie grow lights, plus a few repottings. I also never miss an opportunity to show you something gross but fascinating... 😊💜 Let's hang out and talk about our plants! :)

I make videos about my experience caring for my houseplant collection and I am here to share the joys of indoor plant science with you!

👋Thanks so so much for watching and subscribing!! 💜💜💜

Some topics in this video include: nyctinasty, nyctinastic movement, photonasty, pulvinus plant anatomy, turgor pressure, growing citrus indoors, ficus updates, maranta, ctenanthe, what is the cuticle on a plant, snake plant adaptations, how to use grow lights to grow indoor trees

Cheers to making new plant friends!

Every time i watch your channel i feel like im in a science class!!Love it!! So much knowledge, so much fun!!

[Effie]

I love that you kept that snake plant leaf for several weeks just to show us how cool snake plants are 😊 That's one of the reasons why this is one of the absolute best plant channels 💜

[XenaGL]

I enjoy your videos and really appreciate all the info you teach about house plants!

[darklight__digital]

YESSS plant school is in SESSION! I love learning about plant anatomy + biology on this channel 👏🏻 THANK YOU

[debbieharman]

God this is like plant school, brilliant I know more about my prayer plant now, 🙂🌳🌲

[judithmilagro]

Ok but you didn’t have to make the prayer plant segment so deep 🥺 while I was reading the caption I was starting to feel emotional 🥹❤ loooove this video!

[planetplantuniverse]

I looove your scientific explanations of things. Always so happy to see your videos 🎉❤ thank you!

[Mrs.SarahNicole]

You have the best planty videos!!🪴☺️ That hoya bloom is just magical!! Would you be open to a plant/ new house tour? I would love to see where you keep all your amazing plants 🪴 ❤😊 Sending you all the good planty vibes from Washington state 😊

[Lisamakes]

Oh my gosh, I bought that plant stand and still haven’t put it together. This is my sign to get it done.

[jannelaineeleodinmuo]

Your channel is the best for planttubing because you balance the pure joy of houseplants as well as educating with the mechanisms of plants with the scientific side and it's so fantastic.

[margimorris]

Your huge snake plant in the corner is just gorgeous. It takes 5 years to produce fruit on an avocado tree. But once it starts wow oh wow. I think we had about 500 this year. Something to look forward to

[Immortal_Bullyz]

My philodendron bipinnatiidum had a variegated baby pop up in my pot last week so i separated it and was looking to see if this was normal because I couldn’t find a video of one anywhere until now I didn’t realize the plant was able to mutate I thought it would always be solid green this was pretty cool to see in person

[sammie]

Your enthusiasm and energy is always so uplifting dude!

[jpgypsyxo]

Omg, you are GOD sent! 🙏

Speaking for myself, i love how much you know and the way you share it! I don’t see many other creators get into the nitty gritty or much less WANT to. Not only do you give it, you give it in such an easy way to understand for those who are interested.

[Anah-B]

I enjoy your in-depth biology talks so much!
Do you have to manually pollinate the lemon tree indoors?

[JoleeSO]

That brown leaf makes a really interesting art piece!💜🐦‍⬛

[ayoAngelAlegna]

OMG my P. Ring of Fire has been stuck with one petiolar sheath and it hasn’t grown any new leaves for >4 months, and after watching your video, I just peeled the sheath open and there was a dead brown leaf inside as well 🥲 plus a brand new baby leaf!! Ughhh thank you soooo much for the advice, I’m so glad I didn’t give up on this baby, can’t wait for new leaves to start coming now!

[febakoshy]

I love rescue and repot videos that you do ! Thank you! Also how come you didn’t cut off all of the dried leaves on the Burle ?

[danielquong]

As a new plant parent this season I've been binge watching your videos. Very educational and informative!

[Suadade]

This has been so educational!!! I would love to see you more! 🤗 I hope you’re having an amazing real life 😊
