A plant and gardening channel for everyone. I’m a creative person that has become obsessed with growing rare, unusual, odd, and endangered plants. Hoyas and rare fruit trees are just a few of favorite plants to grow. Currently I live in Los Angeles, but plan to make the epic journey to Hawaii to establish a farm that will be an oasis for unusual and odd edible plants and houseplants. This is a channel about weird and cool fruits and plants, pretty or freaky plants, like Hoya, orchids, aroids, begonias and epiphytes as well as how to connect with nature. Advice is all personal and from my own experiences. Please like and subscribe and share my videos in the hopes of making this hobby a full-time job. Stayed tuned for for info about our farm called Honomu Tropical Farm, a farm for endangered plants. We hopefully will provide tours once we are operational.

Is it good fruit?
not worth the 6 yr wait then & certainl;y not worth space in the yard
Do you have any jaboticaba hybrids for sale?
Where are you and where can i order some of those begonias? Im from Toronto, Ontario Canada
Ok where did you get your shelves?? I ❤ the hanging/shelf options!
Isnt regular hoya undulata supposed to have very ridged edges as well?
I loved the tour!! So much beauty. Thanks for sharing. I have been looking for a macrophyla red to no avail. If you ever want to part with a cutting, I would gladly buy one. Thanks again, beautiful collection…
You got me sold on the caudata Sumatra! Just stunning! 🤩
The red version of this Hoya is sun actually just a “sun stressed” normal Hoya. Place your Hoyas in very high sunlight, and the leaves will exhibit that lovely red coloring that you crave. 😊 beautiful plants! ❤️
I hace rat squirrel and bird problems too! Drives me nuts
Property is cheap there!
Wow, I’m not a huge Hoya girl as much as I was last year, sooo many I’ve never heard of, I love the more kooky Hoya now, Retusa, linearus, Clemensiorum etc, except for my common Pubicalyx splash it grows the best for me and the sun stressing is gorgeous
I've noticed the same thing. Tons of flies sleeping on the plants at night.
cool cool. i hear pepperomia use flies as pollinators. but these flies are over 100% of the yard, so can't just be the pepperomia :) are they on anything in particular of yours?
@FancyPlants maybe mexican sunflower, surinams, jabos but that could he because thats mostly what I have lol
I just picked up some in Mira Mesa. Sweet with only a hint of sour. Taste like lemonade slushy, delicious.
oh cool. so you got the sweet kind, which is hard to find from my understanding. I'll have to google where Mira Mesa is.
U need cross pollination.. another plant
I get that feeling too, but if you google Lucuma or go onto all of the tropical plant siges, they say one tree is all you need but clearly that's not the truth lol. I have a seedling, so I'll plant that one too.
He never seen a fly.
Use yellow sticky traps
They don't really disturb us, and many people are chiming in that they help pollination. And they only last about a month or two before completely disappearing so I'll probably just let them be au natural. lol
get a person to remove them from now on. or do it yourself by using a bait to catch them.
Is your neighbor named Jeffrey?
lol, that took me a minute but finally got it.
Do you know the reason? Lack of pollinators, humidity?
I'm guessing it needs cross pollination, which is totally opposite of what everyone else online says. If you google it, they all say self-fertile. Guess one person got it wrong, then it just propagated the bad info. There are a few trees that produce on their own.
@@FancyPlants Is it a named variety or from seed? I think you may be right
@@cobojaen it’s been so long I can’t remember but I’m guessing from seed. It was before I became OCD with labeling
Any idea where to get some seeds? They look delicious!
They were good, but not very productive. I ended up taking out my tree for another type of fruit. Maybe check out trade winds fruit?
What happened to the begonias
well... begonias are not a fan of me. I had them in terrariums even and while all other plants do well for me, those begonias did not. so i moved them into the greenhouse and they rapidly met their maker. Only about 20% of them made it.
@@FancyPlants This is really intresting to know who survived an why.
Brb, gotta go chew off the bark again -_-
LOL
Wow, really beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊
I just like the eggplant on your forehead!
LOL LOL
You didnt make a bix that contain mix polen? ❤❤❤
I have 2... for separate batched of cherimoya and atemoya pollens of various types that are extra. I keep rotating them out about every week. But usually, if it gets it's own special box, it won't go into the mix box :)
I'm not sure I understand. What makes growing figs in Hawaii so different from the mainland?
The climate. Figs are more Mediterranean so they require some chill hours and prefer a bit less humidity. Hawaii, at least the part that this farm is on, doesn't really have that.
@@FancyPlants Thanks for the explanation, I'm growing figs for the first time in zone 9b South Texas starting this past October, and I worry about enough chill hours. The trees did not lose their leaves, but I am getting figs on first year rooted cuttings.
How is the flavor of the paulista?
I hear it's one of the best, but my tree hasn't fruited yet. It's about 10-12 years, and I hear it blooms anywhere from year 10-20, so I'm still waiting :)
amaZing !!!
Does or has anyone ever done this, but using baking soda or Dawn like people suggest inside the house?? Curious of results, if so 😊
Even when un-aliving them I get the heeby-jeebies
Those are indeed the shells of dragon fly nymphs once out of water the nymphs shed there skin and turn into winged adults
so cool. We were surprised since we never saw dragon fries at our water feature but then again, we are not out there all the time. Hope it keeps happening.
1:34:48 *whoa* Viola is overachieving with all that gorgeousness the chartreuse with the peach is chef's kiss ✨😙🤌
Your collection is breathtaking! This was all the motivation I needed to tackle my plant chores today 🙌 Loved and appreciated every minute of this thank you so much 🙏😌
So glad you liked the video. and hope the plant chores got tackeled! :)
Ours finally put on one flower. One. But it has topped out in the greenhouse. I am going to prune it back and fertilize and mulch it heavily. Maybe will fruit next year. (Walker B. Formerly Domestead channel) had to retire that one because people kept thinking it had something to do with Flat 🌎 🤦♂️.... Just like Green Anole Farms...have people thinking Anole 🦎 has something to do with butts ... Social media is like panning for gold, but instead of gold, its idiots.
What are mosquito bits?
It’s a product you can buy at most places, including Amazon. It’s just a brand name that they created to sell so it’s easy to remember instead of calling at the scientific name. And it made it easy to administer.
If you know where the larvae are, you can suffocate them too. Seal the area and light a match, it will suck out all the oxygen and suffocate the little buggers.
It also works in your house plants for fungus gnats!!!
In Gulfport, Mississippi…. We have the most disrespectful mosquitoes.
😂😂
So blessed!!
YAAAAS!!
This is in Los Angeles?! I love cherimoya!! Have you tried growing mangosteen?
This farm was about an hour and a half south of Los Angeles. Many annona species so def very cool! The true mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) won’t grow for me here but many other Garcinia will so I’m experimenting with those!
@@FancyPlantsI’m excited for you. What’s the name of the farm you visited? Might want to check it out one of these days.
@@wendymichiko it’s privately owned and not usually available for tours, but let me see if I can find the name. I was just introduced to the owner on Facebook so got invited with two other people. Let me see what I can do.
@@FancyPlantsAren’t you a gem?! Thank you! ❤❤❤
You are living in paradise!!
You grew these?! 😱 Daaaaaayum!
How exciting!!
How are you growing all of this tropical goodness in Los Angeles?! Have you heard of Papaya Tree Nursery in Granada Hills? Family run nursery and their son knows his stuff!! Call to schedule a tour if you’re interested.
You sure did!
Would really like to know how hot your greenhouse gets. I have a portable greenhouse that I set up every summer but have to put it in the shade or the temps get into the 100s even with a shade cloth. I put any houseplant I have that needs a boast, and even only a summer outside can make a big difference in their growth.
It’s gets to about 95-100 but always has circulation and high humidity so it’s never too unbearable. Glad your houseplants rebound so quickly in yours
Thank you for sharing your Hoyas and for adding some grow/care tips. I hope that the Hoyas that you are trying to rescue/restart will grow well for you again soon! 🌱
Small nitpick, but you keep using temps like -27F when you mean 27F. -27f is ridiculously cold haha.
Also your collection is absolutely insane, im just starting out and i just have 3, so many species i never even heard of here!
Are you talking about in the captions or something? That’s automatically generated so I’ll see if there’s a way I can fix that. Thanks for bringing that up because I didn’t know that was happening.
@@FancyPlantsits in the little boxes on screen, like at 5:35 and 6:11 you can see it says -25 and -27
