I think I'm going to be sad to say "Goodbye" to Jake. His collection is amazing and his discriptions are comprehensive. Mostly I have enjoyed just how down to earth he is; he seems like just a regular bro. Loving those alocasia, even if he is falling out of love with them, but then my own journey is still quite new. I can't wait to grow my collection to something similar to his. Thanks for introducing him to me/us that might not of ever been aware of him before.
"Stay awsome, Jake!" - from Lisa. 😊👍

Been LOVING these videos! Specific care videos for these rare guys would be AMAZING! The Plant’s Meow nailed it with her anthurium video. Would love one for alocasias!

Who wants to see Jakes succulent/cacti collection tour as well? PLS LIKE!

[chloekrause]

I literally just spotted your Variegated Billietiae!!!! I LOVE!!! You’re full of goodness! I’ve been binge watching your videos lately and they’ve got me going!

Love that Dubia, but now I want to see his cacti and succulent collection.

[rosietulips]

Your content, as well as these fantastic rare plants, is so interesting! As a retired person on a limited budget, I will never afford those types of plants... However, I learn so much about plant care seeing these videos and can apply this inspirational content to my collection of plants! Thank you for sharing this amazing content💜🌿💜

Okay wow! I’ve always thought dubias were super cute but I’ve always passed on them for other plants that were higher up on my wishlist. This convinced me I’ve definitely got to add one to my collection this year. Jake has the most phenomenal plant collections I’ve ever seen, not just in number or how rare lots of them are but they are all individually gorgeous and thriving plants.

Thanks so much to you and Jake! I would love to see Jake's cacti and succulents. If you didn't film this, I hope you could in the future. Thanks.

Love the Jake don't want it to end... Happy New Year, Jimmy!

[omaam]

Yeah, Thanks. The Cupria and the tassel fern are ones of my focus. The dubia is amazing but not one the attracts me to collect it. There is a shingling plant that I want but the name of it escapes me at the moment. You have a blessed one, human and plant doctor. You know you are a nerd right!

This was an awesome video, I'm glad to see ferns like the ones Jake has, because I love Ferns.

My Dubia needs a new plank ASAP 😳 those leaves were amazing!

[cordinolongiotti]

I have some of those more demanding begonias, they live in my dartfrog vivarium and the leaves get wet, and I mean wet 2 times a day. They are thriving, however I have circulation fans that constantly keep the air moving, I think that is important to keep the water from stagnating on the leaves. Great content, keep it up!

[GardenTronics]

Gorgeous plants! Thanks for sharing! 👍🏼🌿💕

[ashleyhebert]

Such an amazing video. You weren't wrong about how beautiful his collection is!

[rootedinplants]

That dubia is AAMAZING!!! I would love to see a video dedicated to hoyas!

[margauxcouet]

Yes! Finally! For the whole seires i thought "Are they ever gonna talk about the Dubia in the room...?" XD Thanks!

[riawhetstone]

So jealous you have such a wonderful local plant community! That dubia reminds me of when I had to pry my pink princess off my wall 😅 Those begonia are so extra😆

[debjanibhowmick]

And what kind of fern is it? I love the hanging pots...

[Wolfie_Rankin]

I love your videos. I live in Melbourne, Australia in a dark, cold house which was built before 1900. I've been collecting plants like these, but seriously battling to keep them alive over winter. I have a sunroom out the back which is smaller than Jake's room which is great in summer, but freezing in winter. But I do my best.
