 Okay, so 2020 has been a difficult year to say the least so I thought that we could end this year with some plant babies! So welcome to our first ever plant hole in the channel! I hope that you enjoy it! Okay so this year I decided to start a new tradition so by the end of the year we'll try to get baby plants to welcome the new year. So let me show you our new baby plants. The first baby is the Ficus pumila. Guys, look at these leaves! As you can see they have the shape of a heart and they're green with some white or cream color at the edges. On top of that this is a climber so you can let it hang or put it on a pole so it's gonna start climbing up. I read that as they mature and climb up they're actually gonna get aerial roots which is pretty amazing and I think this plant is just so beautiful. Since this plant likes colder temperatures I think that I'm gonna put her in our bedroom because it is a little colder than the living room and she really likes humidity which is perfect because we have a very good humidifier there so I hope that she will be happy and of course I will let you know how she grows. This second one is a succulent that I have been eyeing on for a while and this is the Buddha's temple. As you can see it looks like a pagoda and I know that she actually likes bright sunlight so I'm gonna put it with my other succulents. Right now I have all of my succulents under a fancy grow light and this is a full spectrum grow light they seem to be doing fine so I think I'll put her there and hopefully she'll be happy. The flowers are a light pink and appear in spring or summer so I'm gonna try to make her happy and hopefully it flowers. If she does of course I will let you know and I will show you. The next plant is another succulent and this one is the Acheveria Setona. Look at this plant you guys. I gotta be honest I haven't had so much luck with the Acheverias but I've been reading more about them and I hope that I can make this one happy so they need lots of bright light so this one is also gonna go with the Buddha's temple with all of the other succulents and hopefully the grow light makes her happy. I also got it because look at her leaves they are really fluffy and they actually have very small silver hairs. I think they protect the leaves but I'm gonna read more about them and if you know please comment below what's the purpose of these hairs. So yeah it's a beautiful plant and I will let you know how it goes with her. Keeping up with the succulent theme and I think I'm very excited about succulents because of my grow light all of them are very happy under the grow light. The next plant is the Melocactus. According to my book this one needs lots of light as well so I will keep him under the grow light during the winter and then in the summer I'm gonna put him close to the South facing window that we have in this room because in the summer and spring it gets lots of light so I really hope that he's happy there. So yeah I think this plant is really beautiful and again if it flowers I really hope we can make him flower. Of course I will let you know next year. Okay so we're done with baby succulents so let me show you the other plants. Oh the next plant I'm so excited about it because it's actually our first alocacia. Look at those leaves guys and I'm also very excited because it has a new leaf. Can you see it there? Right here. It's such a beautiful plant and actually I found out many things about her because I was doing some research. This is a hybrid so it doesn't grow naturally. It actually comes from the mix of other two alocacias and just look at the leaves. They are really deep green and then it has a very contrasting vein which is because it's really light and on top of that the other side of the leaf is purple. It's a beautiful plant. I know that this one is relatively more difficult than other plants but we're gonna try to take care of it and hopefully she will be happy and of course I will give you an update next year as well to see how she's growing and hopefully she will be healthy. The next baby plant is this one right here. This is a bromeliad and you know I decided to get it because it's actually getting a new flower here which is really exciting. But also we actually found many bromeliads in our tour in the plant conservatory in Toronto and they were so beautiful you guys. So when I saw this one in the plant nursing I'm like okay we have to get it and hopefully we can make her grow as big and thrive as much as it was that we saw in Toronto. So after doing my research I know that this plant loves bright sunlight so we're gonna keep her in this room very close to our south facing window with our other succulents that we have there and I have a blue red LED light there for her so hopefully it's good for her and I will let you know how it goes. The next baby plant is darker and beautiful. This is actually the Piperomia capperata right there. Actually with the light it looks so striking you guys because you can actually see the green of the leaf but also the black and purple which is super beautiful and like really striking no? Actually I'm so happy I made this video because with the light here you can really see the colors. This one doesn't need so much bright light actually according to my reference book it prefers lower light conditions. So this one is also gonna go in our bedroom because we have a north facing window there and we don't get so much sunlight and I think she will be happy there. And then when I saw this one right beside her I found her sister and thank you so much you guys for helping me find the name. This one is a Piperomia capperata Napoli night and as you can see it's very similar to this one but this one is lighter of course and with this one we have more veins maybe because this one is a little bit younger as you can see is smaller but this one you have more single veins. The care is very similar to this one so I will keep them together they were together at the shop and why not just keep them together. So of course I'll let you know how they grow. And the last one I'm very excited about because it was actually part of my wish list at least the family is and this is actually the Flattiserium. So in the nursery pot it says there is a Flattiserium but I actually tried to research which Flattiserium it is and I could not find the specific kind. It kind of looks like a Flattiserium before catum but I feel that the leaves are a little bit more curvy. So if you have this Flattiserium and you know what kind it is please make sure to comment below because I would love to know so I know exactly how to take care of it. Anyways I know that in the wild they generally get lots of light because they usually live on top of the trees and of course lots of humidity and the reason why I got it is because look at the leaves you guys they're super curvy and they're like green and bluish at the same time. It's really beautiful and it's really leafy so I think the green is gonna be perfect for our apartment. So do you have any new plant babies in your home? Please make sure to share them below or send a picture. I would love to see them and as always I will see you in the next video. Okay ciao!
