I'm from Cape Town South Africa. Thank you for appreciating our plants that grace countless North American gardens. Our plants are so spectacular. From Zz,s to Callas, lobelia, BOP, plectranthus... Swedish ivy.. you name it weve got it..

I love the plants from your country, I seriously grow so many; both in in my flat in the bay window and in my mother's beautiful garden. River and pineapple lilies to succulent euphorbias and vygies.

I got my friend a really cool weirdo of a plant from madagascar called euphorbia platyclada. I think its a pretty incredible plant- it looks like a dead plant, and that fascinates me. How and why? I just love it. It gets the tiniest little flowers on the tips of its leaves/branches.

@astounded 3 ай бұрын

Don't know where platyclada sits on the toxicity scale, but I've wondered if it's a strategy to escape herbivory. Evolving in habitats where moisture is an especially rare and precious resource, morphology suggesting an absence of moisture would evolutionary favor such an appearance. Why consume something already dessicated? Great question! It's also one of my favorites for the qualities you mentioned. Mimicry is fascinating.

Nice program. I think it's also worth visiting rain forests to have a feel of how plants that end up in our homes and nurseries survive in their natural habitat. Amazon and the Congo rain forests would be a good start may be. Indonesian , Thailand rain forests can be considered as well.

Me being jealous of viewers in Southern California, who can grow many of these plants outside in their gardens... I adore my pachypodium, it is my most prized succulent in my collection. It lives my Houston summer and grows rather quickly in the heat -- I do protect it from excessive rain. Even when fall eventually rolls around and it goes dormant... I love its thicc boy spikey trunk being a nice center piece!

Regarding your question about the Xerosicyos danguyi... I could be totally wrong, but I've heard that cuttings of caudiciforms will form a caudex, but only underground? Maybe if you repot yours you'll see a caudex underneath that you can raise to the surface. Again, I'm not totally sure if it's true, but could be worth looking into :)

_Aloe arborescens_ leaves are possibly more sought after in South Africa for their wound-healing properties than _Aloe vera._ Not suitable for internal use and it should be remembered that many species of Aloe are deadly toxic. Don't put unidentified species on wounds, some were used to poison arrows. Great video, nice to see such an interesting range.

I have an osa pulchra that I stole from the osa rainforest of Costa Rica. I believe there's less than 30 in the rainforest and found a baby growing so had to take it. I think it increases the chances of it not going extinct. They are almost impossible to grow and are so picky about water, soil, temperature it's no wonder that it's one of the rarest plants in the world.
