Beautiful. We'll have to take a picture of the other side too. Look at this. Look at this leaf. It's over to my hand. They're probably... A variegated um... what is it called? I totally forgot. I'm just so excited I totally forgot. Fiddle leaf tree. Fiddle leaf tree. A variegated one. These are very very um... Everybody wants a Monstera jubii. Something like that. Does it have the name? No, but it's not for sale. They're just propagating now. Beautiful. Oh, crocodile fern. I believe that's what these are from its texture. Okay, so it's plant haul time. It's been about a week since I went plant shopping to that nursery that you just saw. So I even have some stories to tell about the care in this past week of these plants. So that's pretty addition to the story. So I got about nine plants. I ended up going back to the store and buying like a second trip and buying some more plants in two three days after the first time I walked in there. And I'll show you what I got. Okay, to get started I got the Peperomia Hope which came in this size and it was cheap. I want to say it was about six dollars. So I know you can buy it in big box stores sometimes but I had not found it. And I love round plants so I thought I would go ahead and get my hands on that one. Then I saw this Moonlight Philodendron but it's just different to me. You see how it has white in it? All of them had a white on it. And I don't know if it's just discoloration being of a greenhouse but I was kind of hoping it would kind of stay white which I think it's probably not. But anyways it was like five dollars so I thought it was so cute and I just fell in love with it. It had some white in it so I went ahead and bought that one. Philodendrons are just so easy to take care of. Then another plant that I got was this Calathea. It's called the Sabrina and I had not seen it everywhere so I feel like I wanted to go ahead and get it because for six dollars yeah that's a good price. And the leaves are kind of like velvety and just the markings are so pretty. So it's been doing good. What's interesting about this Calathea is that when it's dry it wrinkles like a little burrito. So it's very clear to see and it's white. And once you give it some drink of water and I think I did this morning that's why it's all messy it perks up. So it tells you when I need to water so that's always a good thing. Then I also got another Calathea which is the Dottie. I think there's another name to it too. Rose something but this is a Dottie and I love pink plants and this one had pink stripe markings on it and it's like a nice dark color almost black. So that one was really pretty. I really like this one and I've been happy with it. Like I said it's been about a week and it's been doing good and that's it. No no problems with it. I'm happy with it and of course these can tolerate tolerate medium to low light so these are always nice. I can put them in my dining room table and my kitchen island and it's a nice pop. Then a different one that I got this one I had never seen it. It's also this one's called a zebra plant. It's not a Calathea. I looked it up a little bit and it says that it's um I have my notes right here. This one says that it's a Aphelandra squarosa. Never heard of it. So I just love the markings. It does look like a zebra. There's a lot of white in it and it's growing. At least this one's growing like a little tree. I looked it up a little bit and says that it has to keep moist. Of course don't over water but keep moist. So I put it in a terracotta pot. Hopefully it won't have any issues. I just have to make sure I stay vigilant and don't let too much time go by between waterings. Isn't that cute? The little leaves popping. So far so good with this one. Okay and then another and now the next plants are a little bit more on my wish list. Well this one here is the philodendron amicans and I had not seen it in any of the greenhouses or any of the big box stores ever. So now that I saw it you know with the velvety leaves and it's a trailing vining plant I went ahead and got it. This one here was I want to say it was twelve dollars which it's not that cheap cheap for the size. They had a really big one that was actually growing on a on a pole and it was like so full and luscious. You probably saw in the video and that was like 120. So just I started with this one this baby. Also it came a little droopy and gave it some water and now it's perked up and it's nice and good. Okay so my following plants are the sweet heart or the hoia caria. Look at how long this is. So it comes in one two three what's that five leaves and then there's a baby one here and then two baby well one baby and I think I knocked off the other baby in the travels unfortunately because it came with two little hearts there and it seems like we might have two other little hearts coming up here and this one was $20. I know these can be cheaper in other areas. I know in California they tend to be cheaper but here I just had not seen it in any place I had ever shopped that. Only online and $20 and you didn't have to pay shipping so went ahead and got it. Now this one has on the back of it a little bit of black little marks and I don't know if it's a bacteria or a fungus. Seems like it's very common for these plants. So I've been rubbing a little bit of cinnamon on it and hopefully it won't do more damage. So another wishlist plant that I got is the same the hoia caria but the variegated kind. This one has a lot of white and I don't know if you noticed in the picture that I took right after I walked out of the greenhouse it was actually had more leaves on it. I had to cut off three leaves already so after I got home I put it in my plant shelves in my plant room that has the best lighting turned on the humidifier and it actually came in a bigger pot. It seems like it had just been repotted in a good six inch pot deep six inch pot and left it there and about maybe 24 hours later to 30 hours later like a day and a half later I stopped and looked at it a little closer and I realized there was these round brown spots on three of the leaves and it was becoming mushy. I had a heart attack. I was like I cannot believe it because this one was a little more expensive. This one was about 60 bucks so it was an investment but you know it's something that you think well in the future maybe I can propagate and get some money back and enjoy the plant that I like so I was like what in the world? The first thing I did is I measured the soil and the soil was measuring really wet because I have one of those measuring little meters. It was measuring like 10, 10 is the max and I had not watered it so it came watered and I had put it in the plant room close to a humidifier so after the research it led to conclude that plants that are very these plants they're more succulent like so they like to be on the drier side and it came very watered and I put it by the humidifier so humidity plus a wet soil created for most likely this what I think was a fungus so there was no way of saving it. I went ahead and cut off the three leaves I didn't want it to spread and it was gonna it was already half of the leaf was really yucky looking so that kind of made me bummed out so I immediately changed it to a smaller pot since I realized when I took it out of that pot that the roots were not very big so I didn't want it to have such a big pot with such little roots so I put it in a smaller terracotta pot with very barky perlite mixture so it can stay on the drier side and now it's been another 30 hours or so and it has not turned any of the other leaves have not turned that way and I took it out of that room so it won't be by humidifier so I have it by a window I think it's a north facing window I think look at this little cute heart isn't that cute so if you always hate that your plant something goes wrong with it right after you get it but anyhow hopefully from now on it will be a learning experience and it will do better so the other plant that I got that was on my wish list was what's this it's a little pink princess you can see there's some pink there some pink there some little spottings um there's a little pink there um there's a leaf that's going to come out and I chose this one because it did have some pink veining so I heard that that's something you should look for maybe there's a better chance of getting more pink in it in the future um I just recently watered this today but it was um I put it in a very barky also mixture because the mixture that it came with it might be okay for the greenhouses but in my experience at home they don't dry that quickly so I learned by mistakes to just go ahead and repot it into a lot barkier and perlite mixture so it will dry quicker because we want it to dry in a couple of days we don't or at least measure not wet in two or three days uh so terracotta pots always good and um yeah I actually got it for a pretty good price he ended up even lowering the price from what was there because he said they were actually smaller than what he's used to so I got it for a little bit less than a hundred dollars so again this is an investment um we'll see in the future uh I'll get to enjoy it and if I can later propagate it and hopefully my spending of money will come back and I can get to enjoy this beautiful plant and I know um from the video you got to see usually these pink princesses end up giving them more pink as time goes by so I'm gonna keep it in a bright indirect window and you guys have any care trips uh any care trip tips for this plant please please help me out because so far in my experience all the more expensive plants I end up getting end up having little issues um and that really hurts I'm like I should just stick to the normal plans but anyhow what's done is done now I just want to know how to take care of it the best way possible so I'll keep you guys posted on my Instagram how these plants do because it's always a learning experience I try to look up videos research but um sometimes you know like the other you guys say you just kind of have to learn as you go also in your home your atmosphere and so far I'm learning a lot every single day how to take care of all these beautiful plants but anyhow I just wanted to share with you guys all the little plants that I ended up with I hope you guys enjoyed this video and if you're ever in that area um you guys can check out those plants so this was the growing green nursery in Nashville North Carolina I didn't know North Carolina had a Nashville but it does they also um carry a lot of their plants in a farmer's market in Raleigh um in case you're ever in that area hope you enjoyed this video thanks for watching and if you want to support this channel please hit the thumbs up button if you enjoyed it and subscribe that really helps me out thank you thank you thank you for your time have a good day guess what forgot to mention this plant that I also got from the nursery um it's called the devil's backbone variegated kind and um it's really it's also called a zigzag plant because it grows look at the stem it's in a zigzag and it's supposed to be very easy to take care of plant and so far it's doing great I can even separate all the stems and actually one by itself will even stand out even better so I'm thinking of maybe gifting some to some friends and this was like really inexpensive I want to say it was like six bucks and there was another plant I forgot to mention and it was a really really cool plant I can't believe I forgot it this one here it's uh the name is this it's an alocasia the type it's never seen it before isn't it awesome look at this look at this and this one was a small one they had some bigger ones but I got the small one and it was only like eight dollars and it's just so different than any of the plants I have so so happy to have this one to add to the collection okay now I'll say goodbye again thank you for watching don't forget to subscribe thank you planty friends
