Here in the Czech Rep. the botanic gardens usually have either a permanent shopping part (usually the more comercial ones), or special events (mostly the university ones), where they sell their excess plants & propagations, and sometimes they include private sellers in the events too, which makes it the best shopping option dreamable 😍 (it´s possible to buy very unsual plants, even some really obsure ones)

new series, Jan goes to every botanic gardens in australia to talk about aroids 😉
Such a cool episode!! Unfortunately where I live our botanic gardens closed their only tropical (aroids) greenhouse because of theft 😢 devastating that a small percentage of people ruined it for the rest of us!! They have since closed entirely and removed all their specimens (I assume to a private location, perhaps a university or similar) so the resource has gone for good. I loved being able to attend this ‘virtual tour’ and look forwards to any future episodes at the Gardens! 😇

Love it, thx for sharing :) I especially adore those platyceriums in the back at 9:13 and ofc. the melano :o I would love to know what different kind of poles they use and when to use what. I saw moss poles, xaxim and bark as climbing supports in the video. I am currently experimenting with moss alternatives an different ratios since moss-only gives me some mold issues in the dark winter in Germany. Thx for sharing I really appreciate your content, keep it up :)

Just a question on a plant ID - so that at the beginning was really a Mamei? Did you get like a full name or something? Bc I have the exact same plant, bought it as plowmanii and if you Google search plowmanii round form then that comes up and I'm very confused now 😂😂

Philodendron mamei was the full name on the tag. It looked like a plowmanii to me but I’d assume the Botanic Garden got it right and we might have all just been identifying it incorrectly ?! Either way, they are just names :)
