- not sure why i haven't done this video sooner, but here's almost an hour of me struggling to describe textures of plants so you can feel them through the screen 😆 i think many of us not only buy plants for the way they look, but also for the way they feel. so if you're in need of a new textural plant, maybe this video can inspire you 🥸

Its allways the „Thats What she said“ out of nowhere for me hahahaha
wow that alocasia scalprum looks like it has tribal tattooing, what amazing foliage 💚🌿
Best line ever "shove a Tortum in your face" made me giggle out loud. 😂😂
Oh my goodness you need a huperzia… so soft and cool feeling. I’m always here watching girl!
I like the hoya globulosa/ villosa fuzzy texture. Kind of like a big linearis. My favorite plant texture is my begonia kit kat. It has a nice soft texture, definitely worth a pet.
I took my veitchii out of my cabinet and it is giving me the most beautiful, huge, long leaf it has in the 2 years I have had it. It is in my plant room in an orchid pot with sphagnum on top and humidity stays around 50-60%. Loving it and I was thinking of saling it before this.
I haven’t got a veitchii but really want one! The backs of their leaves remind me of my anthurium sagittatum! They’re veins are also sharp and I lovvveeee touching them!
I have a lambs ear in a pot outside. It feels like a dog's ear. It's incredibly soft. I went back to the store to get more but they were sold out and I have not seen any since early April.
Thanks to you I just understood the beauty of Alocasia Scalprum :-) It´s wonderful and I think I need to get it too :-) I only saw photos of her but they don´t do her justice
The Alocasia Golden Bone, by far one of my easiest and most laid back Alocasia (also the only Alocasia I have in soil with drainage... she loves terracotta). I feel like this plant is highly underrated, and truly doesn't get enough love. When the new leaves come in and first unfurl, they feel velvety, but it's a different kind of velvety feeling than say like an Anthurium. As the leaf hardens off it loses that texture, and even though it's a dull shine, it's still soft. The dark green leaf with those bright minty veins just makes this plant a true visual delight.
I feel like you would love the peperomia incana! has the softest and roundest teddy bear ears!! Plus its such a hardy peperomia more robust and shrub like
To me gloriosum and other "velvet" leaves feel like good quality drawing paper. I remember rubbing my cheek, when I was little, against my aunt's pastels drawing pad, it feels the same.
In your videos all of your plats are amazing! I love your videos I love to put them on while I’m doing plant chores it feels like I’m doing them with a friend. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ To me they look like maranta’s do, those to me feel like suede not so much like velvet and that’s what leaves that look like that feel like to me.
My favorite plant in my collection to touch is my tradescantia baby bunny bellies. Scenecio angel wings are super soft and can be grown inside too😊 I also really like the feel of my p. Mexicanum, feels like pleather
Great picks! I’ve been dying for the scalprum ever since you first showed it😮💨 also I think suede is a better description of “velvet leaf” philodendrons
yeah, suede is just right!
plant parents *touching* their plants?! i'm calling PPS! (plant protective services) !!!
Scalprum is my next wishlist plant. I already have a palidiflorum and 3 vitchii.
I love Tortums. It looks like a palm, except it won't die in my care.
I love the Tortum. Probably my favorite plant in my collection. Also the Rhipsalis is amazing...I have the Rhipsalis Clavata Delicata...it's so nice and feels soft and cool when you touch it :). Love your collection....you have so many gorgeous plants!
I love the Tortum. I have 2 of them 😁🙈 they are just gorgeous 😍 thx for a great video 👌
Nah girl…when I saw you were doing a vid on texture plants, I was dying to see your Rhipsalis! Thx to your recent rhipsalis vid, I am now obsessed with them. I wanted to get into them but so needed that vid you did for guidance. Last week I had none. Now I have 5 😂
I’m in LOVE with them for many reasons..like a party for the senses. Thank you thank you ❤
Rhip on! 🌱
found some native Lamb’s ear growing on a nature walk yesterday! it’s definitely insanely soft
Yeah lambs ear is do soft and fuzzy.
You need a bear paw! It’s a fuzzy succulent! I love mine and i could touch it all day!
wow I need a video like this 🙌🙌
Waited so separately 😂 thank you for your video ❤
I totally thought scalprum was gonna be the first one DARN
"Okay okay bye" 😂 I thought that was your closer. Made me chuckle!! I love dean. Did you get it at a garden center? Or big box?
Awesome information and beautiful plants!
I got you!!!! I LOVE how my pugs ears feel …..like BUTTER! Also, I love you & Alice! It’s nice to watch “Real” creators ❤
WOW - because of this video - I have now ordered my first alocasia - SCALPRUM :) I wanted my first to be a corm from one of my daughters dragons, but no, I must have this one. Thank you for the introduction!
I loving the feel of 2 alocasias (Cuprea and Reginea) and the 2 hoyas you presented today (which sent me screaming with laughter because I thought it was just me feeling them up hahaha), the undulata, clemensiorum borneo/sumatra and clemensiorum splash... Honorable mention: Hoya Sulawesiana
You keep showing off the Tortum, she's pretty - Thanks for sharing
I would like to suggest Hoya versteegii! So soft on the underside. And plumosa fern which is very fluffy
I like this topic - very unique.
Alocasia Jacklyn!!! I thought it would definitely be on your list.
I have to admit being disappointed when I first felt a velvet leaf, I thought it would be like you said: like velvet fabric or even like a jungle velvet calathea. However, the velvet anthurium and philos are still my favorite looking to collect. Loved watching this video! 💚
That rhipsalis is soooo yummy, I wish they were easier to find around me
Did your maharani unalive itself? I think the texture on that one and the Melo is way more satisfying than the scalprum
Interesting video!! I would definitely add the monkey tail cactus…love it!!! 💚🪴🌿🙋🏼♀️🐩
Hoyas vines naturally twine counter clockwise, not clockwise. Just thought this could help you when you trellis them.
I own my tortum because of seeing it here on your channel. I love mine too.
Me after you said okay bye 🫢
Another great video! If only you lived,even the same province, I could give you a ton of Lamb's Ear.. I literally yank handfulls out as it is very invasive..feels like suede 😊
This plant rattles when the leaves move against each other.
I love the Hoyas of course but the ripsalis? I think is growing on me
I am also really curious what the hot glue strings on Hoya baby leaves are.
Hopefully someone will enlighten us
That Hoya has seriously large leaves. It’s very y striking.
Could you tell me about that shelving unit behind you? I have this huge blank wall that I'm trying to avoid building custom shelving for a plant wall if I can purchase something instead.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I got it right 🎉🎉
Oh hail yah. I havent even watched yet but I know I'm about to spend some coins very soon after peeping this
I love touching my rhipsalis too!!😁
44:40 feels like suede instead of velvety?
I wish I could afford tree fern fiber 😔
hahaha i instantly said sinningia
Nope I guessed Salprum as the first
I would never have guessed this plant in a million years. Sorry 😢
Pushing an agenda??? Wtf is wrong with people???
Hey charmaine, just an fyi, the timestamps aren't working properly because they aren't in order. I'm gonna watch this all the way through so it doesn't matter for me anyway!
Texture is an important thing for me, it's why I love plants like the tortum, the gigas, the radicans, among other plants. I didn't expect the veitchii to be that rigid, it always looked like a boring plastic-y leaf for me until now. When you were holding the leaves of that hoya undulata it sounded very much ASMR. I would love to have a Serpens one day, the ridges and the dark leaf have an alien vibe similar to a cuprea. I don't have good luck with alocasia but I'm willing to risk it all for the scalprum. I hope they don't etiolate like the others have done for me, and that they aren't as fussy. I've touched a pallidiflorum in person but I'll be honest I was pretty let down. Maybe it was just the pallidiflorum I've held, but aside from being velvety it had no difference to the texture of other velvet anthurium like the crystallinum, and here I was thinking it would feel as smooth and glide off my hand like a silky necktie. But then I see you hold yours and I'm wondering if the one I touched was just an outlier. I still want them, but they dropped low on my wishlist because of that experience. Especially at the price they're being sold in my area. I can attest to the tortum being such a mood-booster because of the texture. They have a smooth buttery feel and a give to the leaves and the stem. Mine has risen from the grave and is now growing at a surprisingly average rate. I would be interested in seeing that video, the one about plants you don't own but think they have an interesting texture.
Thank you so much!! You’re always looking out for me and it’s so appreciated (I fixed the time stamps- I think?!)
Also regarding the palli- I totally know what you mean. Honestly the texture for the palli is ALLL in the emergent leaf when it’s nice and soft. And it’s not so much the texture of the leaf, but the way it sort of melts into your hand as you stroke it (🤭🫢) and that’s moreso on a larger specimen.. so the smaller ones can be a bit underwhelming.
@@unplantparenthood it is fixed, thank you! I agree that the palli still glides at the move of a hand beneath it, I did that "test" (because everybody does it with their pendent anthuriums) when I first touched it and it did feel nice and accurate to what I've imagined
That is a great addition to your magnificent plant collection 🙌🌿🍃🪴
I’ve recently added the Zz Raven
I really want to try and grow Something in a prop-box with a philodendron or monstera so let me know if you have some that you want to send me as a beginner 🙏
My scalprum threw a fit and lost all of its leaves and is just starting to push out a new one. 🥲
