    In my opinion people should not buy plants at those prices - if they dont buy the price will go down. When we buy we show that it is ok price, but it is not!
    ...For a CUTTIHG!!! You pay for a possibility, even not for a plant!
    Put a pothos in the jar, dont add hormone. Warm place, light.

    The most important thing to look at is the node on the stem. There should be a good amount of green and white striping on the actual node that will grow.
    unfortunately, I didn’t see the nodes in the photographs that were shown.

I also bought a small albo all rooted and established with 2 leaves in a pot last wk as well from another local seller for 150. I have my thai under its own grow light and my albo inside my grow cabinet terrarium to help it even more with humidity and plenty of lighting. Now is a good time to buy expensive rare plants from local sellers because holidays are coming and people dont have stable jobs so people would be willing to sell anything at a more affordable price. U shd check local facebook plant swaps and what not. That is how i found a bunch of my rarer plants including my thai and albo.

I’m so glad I got it when I did. I understand that danger of getting it through FB and Etsy gives you a bit more of a safety net.

      It produces a lot more rooting hormone than most of the other plants, so if you add some pothos cuttings to any other harder to propagete plants it basicly “help them out” with a boost of hormone.

    I would root in perlite to avoid rot because you should not submerge the stem, or if in water get an aquarium aerator to help keep bacteria growth down, keep him in a more humid environment. Dip the root into the rooting hormone. Im personally doing this with a cutting I ordered the same day as yours.

    I’m so excited for you! I’m watching a bunch of Albo videos because I just purchased one through a fundraiser auction and am a LITTLE NERVOUS about rooting it. 😂😅

    Yup, definitely water propagation route first. IMO the best way is when theres only brown aerial roots, keeping it in water will soften the “brown case” of the roots and revealing the white roots or maybe it’ll grow secondary white roots out of it. After white roots come out, we can gradually “introducing” it to the air by sphagnum moss and then the soil. It may take longer, but it’s safest way. Hello from indonesia! 👋🏽

    Do you prefer rareexoticseeds or rarepalmseeds for online plant shopping? How about Seeds or Cuttings (which do you prefer to purchase online)?

    I just got one from etsy a lil under $300. It has two beautiful split leaves. I’m doing this same process. They’ll root for us 😃
