Unwinds house plant seeds. Yes, house
0:03
plant seeds. I may be an aotment blogger
0:07
growing fruit and vegetables and uh the
0:09
occasional flowers, but Unwins have
0:12
brought out a house plant seed range
0:14
which they brought out in September last
0:17
year which I didn't know about. So, this
0:19
is new to me. I've never grown house
0:21
plants from seed and it's a new range
0:24
collection and there's some amazing
0:27
varieties to give a try. Now, we got
0:30
these seeds from Unwinds and they asked
0:32
us to give them a try to see how we get
0:34
on with growing them. And there's so
0:36
many nice house plant seeds to try and
0:39
it's going to be a good experiment
0:40
because like I said, I'm used to growing
0:42
fruit and vegetables and flowers down at
0:45
the aotment. But we'll be growing these
0:47
at home and hopefully getting some nice
0:50
looking plants growing. So, let's show
0:53
you which seeds we have got from the
0:55
Unwinds collection. And the first off is
0:58
the bird of paradise, an exotic plant.
1:02
So yeah, that's going to look absolutely
1:04
gorgeous. Now, is there any seeds in
1:06
each one? There's 10 seeds in this. So
1:09
hopefully we get some great results from
1:13
this. We could get 10 plants from it.
1:15
And we'll be sewing these and keeping
1:17
them growing in our house. We might
1:19
start them off when it gets a bit warmer
1:21
in the poly tunnel. So we'll have a look
1:23
at that whether we decide to grow them
1:25
at home or start them off in the poly
1:26
tunnel when it gets warmer cuz that
1:28
might be perfect temperature for it says
1:31
about 20 25°. So that'll probably be
1:34
perfect for growing the house plant
1:36
seeds in. So we might wait until it gets
1:39
warmer in the poly to start them off
1:40
then cuz it'll be absolutely boiling in
1:43
here. We've also got some zumula
1:47
which is that one. That's a nice little
1:49
house plant one. 200 seats in that one.
1:52
So, I could get a lot of house plants
1:54
coming in my flat soon. But yeah, that's
1:58
great.
2:00
Then we've got the mandarin plant.
2:03
20 of those. And it gives you great
2:06
instructions on the back of what to do.
2:08
Gives you a barcode as well to scan it
2:10
for more tips and advice. So, it's good
2:13
explanatory for everybody to try and
2:15
grow. So, yeah. striking bright orange
2:20
stems. Look at that. Absolutely
2:22
gorgeous.
2:24
So, like I said, these are a new variety
2:26
of seeds. So, if you like your house
2:28
plants or want to experiment like me,
2:30
these will be absolutely perfect. Now,
2:32
this one looks absolutely gorgeous. The
2:34
polka dot plant pink. Look at that one.
2:37
Absolutely gorgeous. 50 seeds in that
2:40
one. So, we might be able to start up a
2:42
plant shop at this rate.
2:45
Watch out. I'm coming for you. But yeah,
2:48
these are going to be absolutely
2:49
amazing. But yeah, again, 20 25 degrees,
2:52
so it might start with uh it being warm.
2:56
And I love it. I'm just reading the back
2:58
of it. They use one of my tips, what I
3:01
use for everything, what I always share
3:02
with you. If you've not got a propagator
3:05
lid, cover the tray with cling film. I
3:07
love it. Everyone's using that tip now.
3:10
Use the cling film. They might be
3:11
watching my videos or watching you. But
3:15
no, use cling film. Great for
3:18
propagation.
3:20
Next up, we've got the eucalyptus baby
3:22
blue. Some great plants here. Like I
3:26
said, this is a brand new house plant
3:28
range. So, we could get some great
3:30
plants growing from this. So, this is
3:32
going to be exciting this year. A new
3:34
type of growing for me this year. And
3:37
it's going to be exciting. Something
3:38
else to try. keep me busy at home
3:40
looking after all these house plants.
3:42
Next up, we've got the asparagus fern.
3:45
Some of these plants I've not even seen
3:47
myself, so they're all new to me. 20
3:50
seeds in that one.
3:56
Another plant which I'm not going to
3:57
struggle to say. Dandra.
4:00
Look at that one.
4:04
10 seeds in that one. And then obviously
4:08
we've got his favorite succulents. Easy
4:11
to look after. 250 seeds in that one.
4:15
And obviously with succulents you can
4:17
grow some of them outside as well. So we
4:20
might be able to plant some of these on
4:21
the a lotment.
4:25
But it does says leave in a warm room.
4:27
So we might not be able to grow these
4:28
ones out side. But yeah, I'm looking
4:32
forward to this. a brand new range of
4:34
seeds and a brand new way of
4:37
experimenting. I do love experimenting
4:40
and these are absolutely fantastic. So,
4:43
if you like your house plants, give them
4:45
a try and see how well you get on with
4:47
them because it's going to be absolutely
4:49
brilliant. Something new for us to try
4:52
this year. So, let me know if you're
4:53
going to give any a try or if you've
4:55

4:57

4:59
these already and given them a try. Let
5:01
