People give Costa a lot of crap but, without bigger growers like them we wouldn't have affordable access to a lot of the plants we have today. Loved the video!
Well said! 🪴
Why do people give them crap? I would assume because they're a large company & sell to big box stores? lol. People can be so ridiculous - Not everyone can afford to go to their local boutiquey plant shops! & I'm happy with my inexpensive angel plants 😊
@@largeautomobile People give them crap because Costa Farms sells for $20 what a lot sellers were listing for $300 previously. They try to say it's big business shutting down small business, but half of plant sales these days is straight up mafia tactics, controlling supply to increase demand. Not always but it happens a lot. I love that Costa Farms does what they do, making these plants affordable for everyone.
@@moominsean yeah but some of those other growers or stores price their plants so ridiculously high and they don’t even provide quality plants. I recently bought an alocasia from one of those boutique stores and the plant was TINY! And dead by the time it arrived to my house. They sent a replacement but it was even worse than the first one and it cost me $45 dollars. Then on a random day at Home Depot, I found Alocasia selling for $20!!!! And these were fully grown, lots of leaves, full plants!! The same with my fig tree, I found an 5 foot tree for $130 when other growers are selling for almost $400 !!! That’s insane. I’m sorry but now I buy all my plants from Costa Farms because they’re so affordable and their quality is amazing (well if you can get to the store before they sell out or die from lack of maintenance at the store)
@@moominsean Not only that, but they aren't selling white leaves for hundreds of bucks.
Remember when he said that section of the plant was a parasite?
All I could think of was how some Etsy/ Ebay seller would be auctioning that off for thousands!
Not to mention, but the propagation of rare plants protects them in the wild.
Now there will be no motive for people to steal them.
You are so lucky to get to go there!!! I can't believe how healthy and beautiful they are in their actual green house, you can see the pride they hold to make sure everything is shipped off in mint condition, makes me so sad they don't get the same care in the big box stores.
Agreed!
I would work there 24/7 just to breathe that pure fresh air 😍✨🪴 also thank you for taking us, Ashley! 🥰💚
Thanks David!!! Hugs! 🤗
I always wonder who is actually buying all the Ivy …lol.
Lol me too. I've seen 1 pretty 1 I might buy in theory only. The spider mite stories stop me everytime.
I’ve bought 4 but they all died so I stopped messing with them. My grandmother has one that’s huge and she doesn’t even take care of it. I guess I could always get some from her instead of wasting more money if I want to try again.
They're used in a lot of funeral arrangements
I had a huge gorgeous 3+ year old one, but then the ants moved in... I have never felt so much grief over a plant. never again...
🤣🤣 same, I wish they would just get rid of em and dedicate more space to Hoyas. They know what the people want.
Thank you so much to Costa farm manager or owner to let our beautiful Ashly visit the farm and share it with us ♥️🌱🍀🍃🪴☘️🇨🇦🌱🍀🍃🪴🪴🍃🌿☘️🍃🌱🌱
This is so interesting to see how these plants are grown. Gives me a new appreciation for the Costa plants that I see so often in the big box stores. So much care goes into them before arriving in retail. Thanks Ashley and Costa Farms!
These tours of Costa Farms are awesome. I just bought my first Costa plant at Walmart and didn’t realize until I got home and examined the wicking pot closer, that it didn’t have the wick. I emailed Costa and almost immediately heard back from them, requesting my address so they could mail me one. They also included plant tips. What an awesome company!!
This was one of the most riveting plant vids I've seen all year. Thank you so much! I work with one of Costa farms receiving stores and am SO excited for their trending tropical selections to hit our shelves!!! 😍
Thanks for watching!
The Exotic Angel plants have a really long history. At one time, there were quite a few more hoya varieties in the line. I think Costa has paired down to the easier ones to grow which is fine. I would love to see a tour of the greenhouse where the siltepecanas and some of the other hoya varieties are growing (wayetii and that mauna loa compacta)! Costa continues to produce great and affordable plants. Thank you CF!
💚💚💚
They take such good care of the plants as they grow. I don't know about other places in the country but where I live in Montana, once they get to the big box stores, they are not taken care of. Unless you get a fresh shipment, they go down hill pretty fast. It makes me feel so sad for the plants. Thank you Costa Farms for such beautiful plants though....
💚💚💚
I love seeing how all those plants are being grown, the infrastructure and maintenance are pretty impressive. A few miles from my hometown there is a cactus and succulents producing facility. It's really impressive as well. Love the video 💚💚
Wow! A cactus facility would be incredibly interesting!
I must say, I'm so excited that plants are back in style again, as they were in the 70s.
Costa Farms, is doing a good job bringing rare plants to the general public too.
This also protects the plants in the wild.
People will not be motivated to steal plants if the public can by them cheaply!
I love how they are so knowledgeable and passionate about their work!
One of best videos ever!! Love exotic angel plants. Love how they offer the smaller, cheaper versions. Perfect for me since then i can get more an i love watching them get bigger! .... watching this def makes me appreciate where they come from an all their hard work!
So many exciting things! Love all the sneak peaks at the end. I found a “Baltic blue” back in august labeled as a tetrasperma so I feel kinda ahead of the trend that’s probably coming and that never happens 😂
I’m in love with the red on the carnosa compacta 😍
Great find!
What an amazing tour and tour guide 😉 he's so knowledgeable and fun to listen to. Thank you for visiting Costa Farms and allowing them so show us how excellent of a product they produce 😊
Love love love love love. Plant production makes us so happy!
🤗🤗🤗 Aw thanks for watching friend!
Every plant looks so good in their nursery.
My local WalMart had that two-tones plants in last month; They didn't sale at all. I'm most excited about the last cebu-like-but-better plant. I hope they'll be out in 2022.
Me too!
I cannot wait. That plant is on my wishlist.
How exciting!!!! Who better than you to report on that! Costa Farms has me on my toes. WHAT AN AWESOME VIDEO! GREAT JOB AS ALWAYS-THANK YOU💚
Aw thank you Martha!
I love that he referred to the new plants without roots as being in the ICU 😂 I’d love to work in a place like that!
This was literally one of my all time favorite youtube plant videos! I hope you can go again!
What a great opportunity to see all that. Really enjoyed this.
Thanks Linda!
When you said they're bringing the Thai Constellation to big box stores I had to stop the video and rewind it to hear it again because I thought I had made it up! When I heard it the second time, I squeed! Can't wait for that!!!!!
Also, I've bought some of their exotic angels and I LOVE THEM! Last two were the Black Rabbit Foot fern and it's adorable, and my Manjula Pothos which is absolutely breathtaking! I can't stop looking at it!
😍😍😍😍
If you only knew how excited I am for this video 💚💚💚
I hope you like it!
I was in Lowe’s and I found a Epipremnum Aureum Global Green. I was so excited when I found it! I also got a Monstera Siltepecena that was in a hanging basket. I put in a big planter outside and it’s so full really fast. It’s really cool.
Incredible finds!
showing this to my manjula so she gets inspired
This comment made my day. Thank you. 🙏
So I just watch the video. Oh my gosh Ashley. How you walk through the green house and NOT take everyone of those beautiful plants 💚. My favorite is those beautiful begonians. I have started a collection of them. I just love them. This was an awesome video. Thank so much for sharing. You rock Ashley. 💚🌱🌿
Thank you!
Worth the wait, loved seeing all those huge mother plants, so impressive! Maybe some of these plants will trickle up to our Canadian Lowe's 🤞🤞🤞.......Thanks Ashley for doing this for us 💚💚💚💚💚,caio bella!
Thanks Lenora!
I hope so, but we always get everything last here in Canada
@@mounag8518 Amen,we get the scrapings from the bottom of the barrel, don't we!
For sure, those are some Hoya goals!
Thank you so much Ashley Anita for taking the effort to show us all these beautifull plantours @ CostasFarms.
Aw you are welcome! It’s nice to feel appreciated
Hi Ashley, LoVe this video! Thanks again for sharing ! 🌸🌺🌼🌵
Thx for watching!
Thanks Costa Farm and you Ashley for your tour I am sure everyone over the world asking same but PLEASE PLEASE send more uncommon plants to Southwest Houston Texas big box stores. Of course looking forward and patiently waiting for the Thai Constellation to come to Houston. Bless Costa Farm
I saw those black Peperomia plants last week at Lowe's and was so shocked because I'd never seen them before! So cool to see them showed here, now I regret not grabbing one, everyone will want one 😂
They are beautiful!
O.M.G ALL WERE SO BREATHLESS FELL IN LOVE TO SEE NEW PLANTS COMING OUT LOVE IT ALL YOUR LUCKY TO BE IN PERSON N SEE IT ALL THANK YOU FOR SHAREING ❤🥰😍🤩❤🥰❤😍🥰
Thank you Nancy! Agreed. I’m super lucky!
Thank you so much Ashley Anita for taking the effort to show us all these beautiful plantours @ CostasFarms.
I got one of the varigated compacta baskets last year, and I love it. Converted it to leca and it's growing so nicely, but I'd give my soul for one of those mother plants. 😆
These are the kind of videos that I just die for I love them so much thank you thank you thank you … Now I wanna go plant shopping and it’s almost winter thank you for the video that was great
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Sally!

To quote you "Wow". Lol. Fantastic video thanks for sharing! I could work there 24/7. 🪴🪴🌿🌿🙂❤
Haha yes!! Lots of Woows in this one
I used to love watching these videos or big box shop videos when I first started collecting plants. But I get super sad now and just don’t. A lot of the plants are not available in the area that I live. Although I am happy for everyone’s luck. I just wish costa farms sent out everything to everyone.
I loved this video I enjoyed the entire thing! Very interesting!
💚💚
Love your show. You are so beautiful inside and out.
Thank you
Thanks for this incredible tour! I love being in the hunt for Costa Farm plants! Was so cool to see the behind the scenes. Thanks 💚👏
Aw thanks for the kind words!
Awesome video and awesome plants. Loved the jumbo Manjula pothos.
Thanks!
How are you always getting to tour amazing places like this?! Jealous! 😅😭
Plant you tuber posted video a couple of days ago shopping at Lowe’s (Rockville and Washington, NC) - they had the Costa Farms red and green begonia for under $20.00.
Wow!
yaaaaaaaaay! a great video while I do my planty chores this evening! 😌❤️🤘🏽
💚💚💚
My goodness. Those rope Hoya and Scindapsus mother plants are amazing!
What a great insider tour. Want every plant. Thanks.
💚💚💚
Amazing video. Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
It's a wonderful plant farm.Ivy, Golden Photos, Monstera, Maranta, Vegonia, Hoya... You introduced a farm that grows a variety of plants well. Thank you for the video.^^
I'm a Floridian & so proud of Costa Farms! This was an exciting peek into what we can expect in the next 12 months. Looking forward to adding some colorful begonias into my home this fall 🪴🍁
That’s a amazing Facility!👍
Thank you for sharing ❤️
Thx for watching!
I got one of the Baltic blue! Love it!
I paid $20 for 3 cuttings of manjulia pothos this past spring in East coast Canada and she is breathtaking and her leaves get huge if given the best of care .. worth every penny !! I'd be in heaven if I ever got the chance to visit Costa Farms Green House so amazing to just watch others tours 😍💚 The way mike talks about plants is amazing!!
Oh my heart be still those begonias were sooo Gorgeous!! What I wouldn't give to grow that beautiful red really rare Begonia or the one after it the dark green with pink freckles I literally gasped when I seen them 😍😍😍💚💚💚@CostaFarms
Fantastic video! Thanks for sharing 🪴🌿
I love that they're doing more begonias.
Oh me too. There are so GORGEOUS ones 🤤
That was amazing Anita thanks
Amazing... I love this. I was sitting so close to my monitor the whole time!
Ah I’m so glad! Thanks for watching!
Awesome tour!! I live in South Florida and I’m not able to visit their farms. Loved the Hoyas and begonias. Thank you 🪴🌺
Thank you!! That was so awesome!
Yeah! How amazing Ash! I'm so jelly 🤣. Thank you so much! I can't wait ☺️💗☺️ Happy Thanksgiving
✌️💚😊
Thanks you too!
This is by far one of my fav vid to watch, love the inside look on how the mass production of such high standard of indoor plants. What was also great was the guy who gave the tour he was so passionate about his job. Wish they had divisions in Australia!
OH WOW, that was amazing. Thank you Ashley
💚💚 thanks for watching!
Omg I need the Happa Lee or whatever it's called. Its beautiful and I've been wanting something exactly like that
So beautiful!
The tour guide was amazing! 🙌
He did a fabulous job!
Thanks for the video that was so exciting 😀
Thanks for watching Amanda!
Loved seeing all these plants.
What a wonderful job
Amazing tour. Thank you for sharing 😊
💚💚
So cool!!
What an awesome video Ashley. Thank you SO much!
You’re welcome Sue!
Great video 🇬🇧
Loved this so much! I would really be eager to know, if you could ask... why there is such a discrepancy of amount of plants we get in California vs the Eastern states. Even Northern vs Southern California has a discrepancy. All the popular in demand Trending tropical plants are all in abundance in East coast big box whereas west coast has such limited stock and variety. I would love this addressed!
I'm just hypothosizing, but I would say it has to do with all of the strict guidelines required to import plants into California. All plants shipped to California require specific certifications that they are free of pests. This adds more time and costs to the grower. Other than population and cost of living, I'm not sure why southern California receives more plants than northern or central California. Again, I believe it has to do with profit margins.
As a wholesale grower, we can only ship plants to retailers that order from us. As Nancy mentioned in her comment, California has more agricultural restrictions than most other states --- making it easier for a lot of California retailers to order from growers outside of Florida. The high cost of freight from South Florida all the way out west also makes growers like Costa Farms somewhat less competitive with more local growers when retailers are selecting who to order from. Hope that makes sense?
@@CostaFarms thanks for the reply. That makes sense. I really wish the Walmarts here order more because the plants are here mostly but just not anywhere near the demand here. It sets up situations for scalpers to buy up the already limited quantity and sell for higher online in a lot of the shipments. Especially the hanging baskets of trending tropicals, there will literally be 1 maybe 2 of the really sought after plants. Anyway that's my rant, thanks for the reply.
@@CostaFarms how about setting up locally in California??? Or closer to the west??
@@melle671: The Costa Farms leadership team is always open to business opportunities that make sense for the company. Fingers crossed the right situation presents itself for more West Coast business!
Put in a good word for us down in Puerto Rico😉 We need these down here!!!
💚💚
Thank you for the tour! Hope to see the new plants in stores near me.
Thanks for watching Peggy! ❤️
I always like the video before it starts. You always make me super excited. Just love these tours🌿🌱🪴
💚💚💚💚
Thank you for the tour! This is so interesting. so beautiful.
Thanks!
I'm sooo happy 😊 thank you for sharing this
I’m so glad! Thanks for watching!
I’m so excited for spring! Wonderful video 🪴💕
Thank you Selena!!
Great tour - thanks.
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
When you stop and see and hear about everything thing that goes into getting a plant ready for buyers, it is amazing that we only pay about $20 for one of their plants!
I just found a Happilee Tradescantia at Home Depot! I was so excited to see it after watching this video a couple weeks ago 🥰
That is awesome!
Very exciting video. I was hoping you would show their new aglaonemas. Maybe next video.
I wish that guy worked in my garden center to point all these plants out. Instead I guide myself and think "here's a bunch of regular green vining plants, I'll pass"
We need a Danny and Mike at our garden center. 😂
Great eill be looking gor them
41k subs!! OMG Ashley you have come so far! Been here since 3k subs! So happy for you!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Omfggg, thank you for this!! 😍😍😍
Awesome Thanksgiving video- such a special gift! One of your best videos ever! And I love your enthusiasm (and wows). I also want to add, you have one of the best channels with "planty" content.
Such nice compliments! Thank you!
I have a baltic blue I got at walmart a couple months ago. so neat, I hadn't seen it before!
Wonderful find!
This was really interesting! I would love to work somewhere like this.’
💚💚
Fantastic! I loved it!
