    The plant at 9:13 is sold as Philodendron sp. 'Papua New Guinea', ADA produces it in tissue culture under their jungle plants line but I'm not sure if its available outside of Japan. Ive also heard that its actually an Epipremnum.
    It's hard to find English language videos of the ADA Lab stuff, so thanks for the tour!

    • @you_gullible_fucc
      @you_gullible_fucc Před 11 měsíci

      To me it looks like a green epipremnum amplissimum or falcifolium

    • @smorc65
      @smorc65 Před 7 měsíci

      Been trying to find it in the US, I don't think it's showed up here yet.

    • @kathj4739
      @kathj4739 Před měsícem

      looks very similar to epipremnum amplissum without silver streaking. Makes sense to use it in an aquarium because Pothos grow great anywhere with enough nutrients, light, and structural support. If you can’t get philodendron New Guinea, amplissum would be a good alternative. I have one and it’s super easy to care for and grows like a weed. Really does like to climb though.

    Hi! Benji, I am so happy that you introduce Japanese plants shop and our love of nature. I came from Japan to LA, who is struggling with growing some of the trees and plants naturally grown in Japan. My dream is to successfully decorate my house with these plants and see you to introduce them ! With lots of love !

  • @becoming_a_betty
    @becoming_a_betty Před 11 měsíci +20

    What an absolute treat it is to see inside of these amazing shops! I've watched a few CZcamsrs who have shown some of them from the outside and I've paused and tried to see inside so desperately! I'm in love with the unique plants and ways of displaying them in Japan, a true art form. Those first two shops and that kokedama brachychiton are just so beautiful. Inspiring 🌟🌱

  • @attilagyorffy
    @attilagyorffy Před 5 měsíci +5

    It’s really cool to see young people wonder around appreciating plants instead of obsessing over tech gadgets. Keep it up, this is very much needed.

  • @tasha7860
    @tasha7860 Před 11 měsíci +11

    I love all of your content but for me, what takes the cake are your travel vlogs. There’s something so extra comforting about them and how you film and edit when doing these types of videos that is sooo enjoyable to watch. I actually still watch your vietnam vlogs all the time 😅 can’t wait for whatever you decide to share with us nexttt🤍

  • @infinitesphere2010
    @infinitesphere2010 Před 11 měsíci +7

    I hope you had a good time and got some nice inspirations in Japan. I am a Japanese and always enjoy your videos very much. I was glad you visited the ACTUS shop in Kyoto that I recommended. I felt a little weired you were in the shop where I used to be though. Thank you for sharing your experience in Japan.

  • @fraserembrey5676
    @fraserembrey5676 Před 11 měsíci +7

    This is incredible, I can't believe how awesome these stores are. The ones I see here all feel so quaint in comparison and they barely have ¼ as many types of plants.

  • @ShyDog827
    @ShyDog827 Před 11 měsíci +8

    Such beautiful plant shops . I love their concept of plants as art. I’ve often dreamed of having a boutique shop that had beautifully designed plant arrangements and a little coffee shop inside as well. We have one breakfast place that has an inner courtyard filled with plants all around , and it’s very nice to have a table there but it still doesn’t come close to the botanical artistry that you showed us in Japan .
    Now I know what to research . I would like to create something as stunning as that tree growing in a moss ball on a rock!

  • @sailorPinata
    @sailorPinata Před 2 měsíci +1

    11:16 That's SO cool, such a good idea to make it look like a lab, with even sellers dressed like scientists, that's genius !

  • @ameerfarhan6836
    @ameerfarhan6836 Před 11 měsíci +9

    Love the video, I visited ADA Lab recently and was mindblown on how clean it was. The plant at 9:13 is called Philodendron sp. Papua New Guinea by ADA, but more accurately it’s called Epipremnum amplissimum.

    Hello from Paris, France. Thought I was a plant lover but after seeing this vid, I can tell I"m just an amateur. Those ponds with plant are just like absolutely fantastic, as if they were just took off a primitive forest in Africa or Colombia. Thanks so much for the tour. Suscribded to your channel and can't wait to see others of your vids. So inspiring! Thanks so much

    I started with succulents and cacti many years ago and fell into tropicals in 2019 and just totally got obsessed during Covid, and recently have been getting really pulled back into succulents and cacti. The aesthetic of the gymocalycium in the ceramics in some of these shops is just soo good. Thanks for sharing!

    You’re right about SoCal, our climate being slightly too dry for kokedama… true, but it depends what you put in it. If it’s something thirsty, like a begonia, fern, or something tropical, they likely can’t be hanging as a kokedama, too much evaporation… instead, you have to maybe display them strategically on a tray of pebbles w water, elevated slightly, almost “semi hydro” in a sense; the moss wicks up the moisture…
    But anyway, my most successful Kokedama, depending on the species, have been in indirect bright light or partial shade - the species I’ve had thrive in it have been Peperomia, smaller bromeliads (Neoregelia, Guzmania), Phaelanopsis & Oncidium orchids, Rhipsalis, Schlumbergera (Xmas cactus), Hatiora (bottle cactus), Disocactus (hanging rat tail) & generally most types of jungle cacti. The environment, the drainage and water retention is great for them. Not to forget, hanging type succulents are a great kokedama choice for SoCal, or anywhere….I’ve done them all in kokedama 😎 Crassula perforata and its many hybrids are good, Sedums, donkey tail, surprisingly, most succulents don’t want hot
    sun either, and can burn 😝
