  • I’m in Singapore at Far East Flora, a huge garden center with tons of affordable and beautiful houseplants across many genera. I regularly cover rare plants on my channel, but I actually love common plants as much.
    The garden center has helpfully labeled their plant IDs, providing ample opportunities to learn about different plant species. We don’t like to talk about plant price much on this channel, but I make an exception to this episode because I wanted to understand how much Singaporeans are spending on their greenery. I was pleasantly surprised to see how affordable houseplants are in Singapore. Do comment down below if you agree?
    I share my own experience caring for some of these plants and speculates on the care of others I have not yet had the chance to look after. I invite viewers to share their knowledge and tips in the comment section.
    It's important to note that this video is not sponsored. I stopped by the store with no warning or appointment, but was warmly welcomed by the friendly staff.
    Be warned, this video may cause impulse purchases as myself couldn't resist buying some plants during the editing process.

    It’s refreshing to see a plant seller who labels the plants with not just the prices, but the plants botanical names. The prices are reasonable & affordable; thanks for sharing Sean!

    Your tone is pleasant and easy on the ear, with perfect pronunciation and diction. Its a pleasure and fortune to have you here in Singapore for I am not sure anyone would find the time and easy to understand introduction and presentation succinctly. Thank you for bringing Singapore and Indonesia closer through plants by your effort. All the best and Good Luck.

    The Heuchera at 7:00 timestamp is a popular outdoor hardy shade plant in USA, at least in the Northeast. The selections feature a large variety of patterns and colors. Called coral bells, some or all have small flowers rising on thin stems above the foliage. At a nursery, I confessed my failure to pull through the winter any Heuchera planted in the ground, and the associate said he hears a lot of similar comments, but they do well in pots where drainage is better.

      Interesting, thanks for the share. I wonder if they can survive in the everlasting hot and humid climate of south east asia…

      I have had great success with Coral Bells in Indiana. They don't die out or lose their color over the winter. Mine are in mostly shade.

    Your vlog is informative with an interesting narrative on plant type, identifying and showing the tag on detail and price on the pot. Also, you touched adequately on whether the plant is rare or common and the degree of care required and propagation. Very encouraging for new plant lovers as well as existing hobbyists. Do share more videos on your venture and your journey in bringing greenery to homes, garden, and cities which helps to reduce pollution, clean up the air we breathe, and importantly a love for NATURE. I wish you continued success in your GREEN endeavor.
