Another good one! Thanks for your logic meets nature approach and another helpful Greek lesson as well!

Great video Memo 💚 I wish I had something like this when I was first getting started! To any beginners watching this, I would encourage you to keep the struggling plant. So long as it doesn’t stress you out too much. Remember growing plants should be fun 😊 When I first started with plants, as soon as it turned into a less attractive version of the plant I brought home, I would give it away and think I couldn’t grow that type of plant. Once I started experimenting with my struggle bus plants, plant care really started to click. Did I lose some? Absolutely. Did I get too frustrated with some and called it quits before I figured out the plant, 100%. But I have learned SO much from my struggle bus plants. And I also realized there’s definitely an acclimation process for most plants coming into your home but many will sort themselves out as you get to know each other 🌱

This is amazingly informative, the 1st I've seen of its kind.

Thank you for the fun and informative video. I live in a very small studio and can’t have big plants like you have. But I learn a lot. Many things I can use for the regular house plants I have (pathos, peace lily, I do have a whale tale and some small sundew carnivorous plants. But no big showy guys like you do. It is so much fun to see your real plants and not some to perfectly perfect Instagram photo. I like your the best. All the best to you and your many plants and pets. See you at your next video.😊

Hi Memo, great video and very helpful 😀🇨🇦

Very helpful. Thank you for you wonderful video 😊

Wow, what an informative video Thank you, once again , kind human, for hanging out with me while I water my plants quietly in the dark… 😊

Thank you for demystifying this stuff. Just beginning with these types of plants and your video is so helpful!!

Good vid; it was helpful! Would love a pt 2 of this. Thank# for sharing Memo!

I've been growing and researching plants for 50 years Memo and I can honestly say that your channel is one of the best I've watched. I'm sick of people asking me the same questions over & over while they have the Internet at their fingertips. Research is the only way people will succeed without killing plants along the way. 👍🪴

Thank you for a good video. Def appreciate the reference points.

I heard the first time about altitude in one of your videos and I am so glad, because I was about to buy an Anthurium regale and now know, that I don't have the conditions for it. Now I'm more on the lookout about altitude. Research is so important, especially before you buy a plant. I love this video on the morphology of plants to tell you what they need. It makes so much sense. But what I was wondering about: the velvet leaves protect them from high humidity, but they still need the humidity. The structure of the Alocasia protects it from staying wet, but it doesn't want to get wet? What if we get it wrong here, maybe it wants to get a spray down every now and then, because rivers also tend to spray water droplets, or something falls into the water and splashes onto the leaves. Why do we keep them dry if their whole morphology is adapted to get then dry quickly again? Maybe I'll try it with the Alocasia Dragon Scale, because it never is happy with the watering. Take the reservoir away and for every watering, I will put it under the shower. I'm curious to hear what you think.

Very helpful! I know that when I was a new beginner, I’d look up care guides for every specific species or variety of plant I bought. Then I started to realize that, say, if it’s a Philodendron with slightly velvety, dark green leaves, that likes to climb, the care is usually the same. Some genera are more varied, like Peperomia, but you can usually tell the care based on the thickness of leaves & stems and the colouring etc. So what you’re saying makes a lot of sense but you still gave me a lot of new information here!

Thank you so much ! 💚

I’m a chronic underwaterer, but my baby Alocasias don’t appreciate that. I just tell them to toughen up! 😅

Some good advice

Speaking of the succulents, just got back from Hawaii and our hotel had a ton of outdoor succulents thriving in all the humidity in rain 🤷🏼‍♀️ made me rethink some things lol

Yes! So timely. Mainly what's going on with leaves. Love that shirt btw.

❤ any hints for Philodendron Longilobatum Lelano Miyano, awaiting its arrival this coming Friday 🎉🎉 no self control 4 plants in the last 10 days 😊 Peacock Calathea, Spiderplant Bonnie curly leaves💕 and a Philodendron Rojo Congo thats out in the front garden for the summer ❤

❤

"You don't learn by not trying"--fact, Memo. (And thank you for the recent congrats on my small, but big-to-me, achievement ☺)
