If you want to peer into the life of a greenhouse grower, then probably no better than Bill Rotolante of Silver Krome Gardens. He takes us through the range of plants he is growing -primarily Aroids like Philodendron, Monstera, and Anthurium-as well as Prayer Plants, such as Goeppertia, Calathea, and more. He talks about how the landscape of growing has changed over the last few years-and how consumer trends are really driving what he's growing (as well as why it drives him crazy).
Stay tuned, because we'll have a special tour of his private collection too in an upcoming episode of 'Plant One On Me'!

I know it might come off as ignorant or lazy, but as an european, I'd love metric system "translation" from imperial system to pop up somewhere on the screen, whenever any information about temperature, height etc is said. It's a minor nuance, but it would help a lot, since I'm not fluent in feet, inches and Fahrenheit degrees and cannot do the calculations in my head on the fly. Still, a great video - and fingers crossed for the Webb Awards, Summer!

Thanks for the suggestion. In my Houseplant Care spreadsheets, I convert the F to C. But here, I'm usually rushing to the finish line for the edits, but would be a nice add on.

i think everyone should chill out with the instagram hype. went to one of those fancy hipster plant pop ups and bought two overpriced calethea varieties cause they looked so pretty but obviously had zero connection to the plants, one got spider mites fast and died within weeks & i didn't even care that much. the plants i really love are the ones i got from cuttings from friends or bought when they where tiny and watched grow over the years. most of them really common plants but they give me fond memories & make me care for them much more. people should see plants more like living beings one can connect with, not just a trendy accessiore to brag with.

How lovely is Bill and his dogs and his hard work! wow! thank you! m grateful for these videos I spend most of my off day (pottering around my tiny hot humid flat in SG with my plant care while watching / listening to your videos!) and my lunch breaks :) learning more and more! :) :) :) much love and regards from Singapore

@pauless76 4 жыл бұрын

if I may say something about spider mites, they proliferate very well in warm and dry conditions which are usually and easily found in an apartment during the autumn-winter time, when people turn on the heating and the air dries out...so I would suggest to bring your plants under a shower and do the rain effect on both sides of the leaves to clean the most of them. In addiction you can wrap each leaf in a plastic bag for a couple of days maybe three. Spiders hates water and high humidity conditions...so in this way you'll get them off/dead without using any chemical. Hope that helps...

Philodendron birkin are one of those "meh" plants for me. You can get it for £12-15 for a 6-inch pot from a garden centre but I've found them going for £30-40++ on ebay for the same size and sometimes for just a cutting which is ridiculous. I love plants and understand the work that goes into growing them but the prices some people charge is just unjustifiable.
