Visit the San Diego Botanic Garden: https://sdbg.org/ I met up with John Clements, the Director of Gardens at the San Diego Botanic Garden. He took me behind the scenes in their houseplant greenhouse, home to some of the rarest houseplants in the world – included the fabled Philodendron spiritus sancti, pitcher plants being held as criminal evidence, and some of the coolest terrarium gardens you’ll ever see.

great interview skills!!!! loved this video! funny and real! awesome
Loved this tour!
So many beautiful exotics. So much information. Need more like this. It was a super special treat. Thanks for getting John to share with us. I gave up on houseplants because I kept getting mosquitos and who knows what other bugs. Maybe I'll try again.
My biggest problem with houseplants is keeping my cats from eating them. Yuck spray isn't a deterrent. Thanks for showing us this variety of beautiful plants, too!
Thanks for giving us this view behind the scenes! Although I would have like to hear John reply to your questions with less interruptions. He seemed like a great orator.
So interesting! Thank you for "taking" us on this journey. I liked how they had healthy and unhealthy plants so people can see the difference.
I wish we had a place like this near us. So cool!
Very interesting
Excuse my spelling but the plant labeled as philodendron Brazil was actually ctnanthe luberosa? It's in the prayer plant family and not a philodendron or an airoid at all?
Can you safely use store bought distilled water for houseplants rather than tap water?
Great video
This was one of my FAVORITE video!
Beautiful and informative, thank you!
10:23 in Hawaii, they call this Pele's hair.
Awesome Video, Thanks for the info and tips
I heard "Sure" 50 times
Love love love this video! Such a great tour! Thanks for sharing.
This episode reminded me of California Gold. Loved it.
What a fun video. Thanks for sharing.
Does this guest know how to pollinate Maranta?!?!
I hate that these tour videos are kept to around 30 mins. Maybe do a couple parts or one longer video.
KEVIN: that's NOT a philodendron Brazil, but a ctenanthe lubbersiana. The Brazil was next to it.
Corpse plant …i have one behind my house
I got one of those domes of of eBay marketplace. Loved it. Had it for a few years then one day I tripped and broke it. Could have killed me if i had landed on top of it.
I have a captive plant in a largw dome one third full with soil with two vines. With light from an LED Daylight bulb, they make their own atmosphere, and need about 1 1/2 cups of water and a normal 10-10-10 Miracle Grow ferterlizer in the recommwnded dose as in the directions on the box once every three months or less! Usually it's too much water so I open a vent in the top a week or so intil it dries out and stops making algae on the dome!
The Philodendron brazil they have is obviously a variegated Calathea pilosa wtf.
