Mark Dimmitt's PLANT OASIS in the DESERT - Ep. 336
Рет қаралды 61,907
11 ай бұрынWhen traveling through Tucson, everyone mentioned that I must see "Mark Dimmitt"-a biologist by trade but also a plant breeder and aficionado in life. Mark's Tucson home has sprawling cacti and colorful greenhouses that are abounding in a range of plants-from Adenium to Phalaenopsis. His biggest pursuit in plant breeding is to find the perfect crimson red in a range of flowers, which he'll take us through in this video.

Another great episode. Thanks for the tip in this episode and one of the previous episodes about how some Adeniums go limp in low humidity. I moved my plants to a greenhouse where the humidity stays above 60% after hearing that discussion in a previous episode. The plants have already started to perk up.

Lovely varieties of flowering Adeniums. I love your channel. Always beautiful videos and informative. One humble suggestion, whoever is taking the videos move the camera very fast from plants to people and vice versa which many times cause strain to the eyes and the video turns blurry. So if they move the camera slow that would not strain the eyes. Thank you for all the videos and information. Love them!
