This man took plant-lover to a whole new level when he revealed that he’s spent a whopping £20,000 on the leafy plants. For more information on plant shops in Melbourne check out All Green Nursery.
Jonny Balchandani, 34, bought enough plants to completely take over his home in Castlemorton, Malvern.
Even though he boasts a spacious five-bed home, he’s managed to fill it with over 3,000 plants, a pretty amazing collection.
“I source plants from sellers and growers internationally, there are quite a few from Indonesia and South America,” Jonny shared.
It’s not all local garden centre bargains for the green fingered pro either.
Rare plants like his monstera adansonii cost an eye watering £850.
Jonny shares his love for plants with his children Phoenix, three, and Talulah, two, along with his partner Charlotte, 33.
In fact, he has dreams of passing his passion for plants down to his kids one day.
“The collection is worth a lot of money and I can’t look after it forever so I’d love for [my kids] to take over,” he admitted.

Even though his house is full to the brim of plants, he has no plan to stop collecting them.
He even has plants to eventually add an extension onto the house to make room for more plants.
He might have to seek help to look after them all though, he currently spends hours everyday on them.
His daily routine includes: “Spraying the plants down with pesticides, check the humidity levels, check the propagations in the green house, take off dead leaves, and just general maintenance.”
