Thank you so much for watching! If there are any videos (Rare Online HousePlant Unboxing's, More Plant Tours, Specific Plant Care) you would like to see please let me know :).
People spend money on all kinds of things so I am glad you are so happy with your new purchase. Hopefully it roots and gives you increasingly more joy as time progresses.
Thank you!!
think i'll wait 3 years when the prices come down and these are more common
Same here, those prices are unreal!
Lmao same
I'm pretty much paying $100 dollars a year to have this plant early omg
@@ErikaLodes you got a good head start ahead of us, that plant is going to be massive in 2-3 years
@@rurutuM I hope so! But by then you'll probably be able to buy one the same size as mine for the same price hahaha
Y’all never going to believe what I found in my local Home-depot today!!! I decided to buy a huge non variegated monstera deliciosa for only $59.99. So I was ready to load it in my car and start inspecting if there’s bugs, and found one huge leaf with variegation. You all I’m so excited.😮😮😮
They’re a huge head ache when they’re getting established but goddamn I love them
Ya, it's the worst part not knowing whether it will root or not ):
I dunno who's cuter ..you or your new plant .. uummm ..it's you this time !!
ehm ehm excuse me, she is mine crush !
it's definitely the GORGEOUS LEAF!!
@@ErikaLodes And you too :/
I just got an unrooted cutting off of eBay and had success rooting it in leca :) good luck with you cutting!☺️💚🪴
@Indy M ehhhh why?
How is this monstera doing? Update video? 😜🤓
I love this whole 'shop with me' in this video, it would be so fun and interesting if you did shop with me vids in the future!! loved this vid Erika :)
Do you have an update on your albo? 🌿☘️🍀🌱
😲 #1 on my wish list!
200-500$!!! For a CUTTING! It is insane!
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.
Love your happy smiley face. You lift my spirits. I’m so happy for you and I truly hope she flourishes. I would never be brave enough to spend that on any plant. I’m still thinking 50 bucks is a lot only because it could die. I’m sure you will nurture this plant into a gigantic beauty. Can’t wait for the update. Oh and Merry Christmas
They’re $1200 per leaf cutting in Australia 😭
Man don’t tell me that I’ll move to Australia & run bands up
@@dhenny21 bands up?
I would have a whole fit I'd I spend all that money 💲💰 and my plant die 😂 😳😱
I've only bought plants on clearance. On purpose. I dont want to pay big money for plant stress. My nerves too bad.
trust me I will literally cry if it dies
how many people are now going to buy this including me
I wish!! But I would never spend that much money on a plant cutting!!
I will not take that big risk on a cutting .it's crazy and not worth that much money .
I am soo excited for you! I can't wait to watch it grow. You gotta keep us updated on the root growth, like at least once a week! Lol. Im soo excited and its not even my plant. Best of Luck to you and your cutting!
heck yaaa
Just did. Merry Christmas, to me lol. Because that's what plant nuts do.Better than spending it on drugs
I'm Always confused why the albo is so expensive in the us. I just bought an albo plant with 3 leafs and a new one coming for 80€. A single leaf cutting costs between 30-60€ in Germany and I still thinks thats to expensive 😂😅
I got one last week from a known Plantshop for 130€! Six beautiful leaves, a good and healthy root system and good variegation! I couldn't be happier!
I feel like many rare houseplants are pretty alright when it comes to the prize in Germany! Otherwise I couldn't afford a lot of them lol
OMG! Guess what I just ordered my first Monstera Borsigiana Albo 😬eek! I can’t wait lol 😂
My boyfriend got me an albo cutting as an anniversary gift and he actually got it from the same seller you did! My cutting rooted so quickly in water! I hope you have good luck with yours too!!!!
He is a keeper!!! I'm hoping mine roots as quickly as yours hehe
I would be so nervous about keeping it alive for the price
Stratum, perlite, and leca to root has never done me wrong! 🎉❤
First
wooh hoooooo :D
That's crazy how expensive these variegata monsteras are there! I bought my cutting for 40 euros ( about 50 dollars)
Wow, you got lucky. I just bought a cutting for $230. Where did you buy yours?
@@janethmares720 I live in Finland, Europe and I bought the cutting from a local person in a Facebook group.
omg i bought one today for 85€ with a lechuza pot (equally big and already rooted) wth american prices are rly something else 😳 (from germany)
How is she rooting?? Update?
It’s beautiful and would so love to have one some day but this girl got a lot of bills to pay 😖
สวัสดีครับผมเป็นลุงของเจทครับ
How is your cutting doing?
Hey 👋 Omaigosh!!! Sooo beautiful 😍!!! Congrats on your buy 🤗🤗🤗, with your care it will soon give you roots!!! You go girl!!!
this would make a great Christmas present
AGREED! any plant lover would appreciate it
I sorry but this is getting a bit ridicules. I bought mine in 2019, six feet tall Mostera Albo for 70 dollars
Ya I really regret not buying it last year ):
Yes i bought mine 2 years ago it is like 5 feet for only 50 dollars
WOW, I just checked out their etsy shop and I'm impressed. Good for you Erika although I am jealous, lol. 😍
Congrats on your albo! If you’re going to keep it in water I’d recommend getting the bonide root & grow. It’s basically a liquid rooting hormone but also has NPK. My Thai constellation did really well with it
I thought leaf cuttings together in Germany were expensive but wow, they are like between 30-70 a leaf. 200 are nuts
beautiful
Woow, in the netherlands, the albo monstera is waaaaay cheaper! These prices are absolutely insane, I got a beautiful big 1 leaf cutting voor 35 € :’)
Pls pls pls do an update! I just bought my thai constellation medium size with 4 leaves all rooted and in a pot and established yesterday for 275 from local seller. 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.
Hi Erica! Really curious how your albo Is doing now:)
Yay!!! Mine is the joy of my life! I hope she thrives for you 😊
I can completely see why! I'm currently obsessed w mine!
I'm now realizing how great of a deal I got. I had help from someone I know through a FB group. I got a single leaf, 2 node cuttings, fully rooted, and including shipping for $215. 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. Although, I did hunt for a long time to find one I could afford because I could only spend $200. I hope y’all find your wishlist plant too! Even if you have to save up or trade for it! 🪴
i got three leaves and the stem has 7 roots growing the shop on etsy that i got it from is Exoticform i got mine for $189 im very happy with it as well the leaves look exactly like the picture!
I just bought a whole rooted plant with four leaves from Thai exotic greenery for 140$.
@@sandracastellanos921 it is very different today than it was 2 years ago for sure. That same cutting has now popped out 9 leaves so thankfully it worked out
Congratulations! It's gorgeous, you deserve it.
I’m just seeing this video and omg it was expensive two years ago. I bought a whole plant with four super variegated leaves for 140$ at the beginning of 2023. I imported from Thai exotic greenery. These plants are now 80$ on their website. I feel like I threw money away.
Can you explain the concept/theory of how adding golden pothos to a water propagation helps? I am really interested!!
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 am so stoked for you! Your smile was amazing and genuine as always. I enjoy watching your positivity and encouragement with my plant collection. Proud of you young lady. Keep at it and enjoy your blessings. Merry Christmas to you!!!
no idea where you live but this Etsy shop seems crazy expensive… did you check eBay? In my local store you can get potted plants with up to 3-4 leafs for around 150€
i got a small one for christmas (a potted one) and im so scared im gonna kill it! please do an in -depth care video on how not to kill this (for beginners) THANK YOU SO MUCH AND ITS BEAUTIFULLLL
just spent £35 on a rooted cutting with good verigation! that price she paid is so high for an unrooted cutting! And whole plants going for £200, i thought 2021 prices were meant to be high, but i guess 2020 was worse. good luck with the cutting.
Thats pretty shady how the seller chose those specific angles in the pictures to hide the damage. You can tell it was there before shipping. I hope he at least disclosed that in the description. I personally would have been pissed lol.
I just got my monstera albo cutting from an etsy seller and it was rotten on arrival. I'm so bummed, I took pics though and think the seller is going to refund my money minus shipping. Hoping you have better luck, keep us updated!
The price difference is crazy. I’m buying a similar cutting for 45eur in Germany right now.
congratulations on your purchase. the cutting looks beautiful!
Yes, you are quite right about not choosing a plant that has too much cream because they are the ones that goes brown.Divas! So i bought one with plenty of mosaic patterning instead and its doing great. Bought from a reliable grower in the uk. They are a pleasure to grow if you get the right one i have to say. Its an exciting plant for sure!
I commend you for spending that kind of $$$ on such a small plant, I'll wait until they become the norm like all of the other unicorn plants have done.
I saw someone on reddit said they bought one amongst the regular ones at a local nursery!
beautiful plant, but in my opinion i would never spend over $300 on ANY plant. hope it thrives in your care
so precious
(':
I would root in perlite to avoid rot because you should not submerge the stem, or if in water get an aquarium aerator to help keep bacteria growth down, keep him in a more humid environment. Dip the root into the rooting hormone. Im personally doing this with a cutting I ordered the same day as yours.
Christmas certainly came early for you!
Your Thai Constellation video got me shopping around for one as my own which I'm on the cusp of buying. Now you put this up. I don't need this much enablement in my life right now 🤣
Lol let me know when you buy it (;
This is so expensive. Here in Europe they go for 30€ with full roots on Ebay. Holy cow. 300$
I just got my cutting yesterday. Same etsy shop too! the packaging was premium and so is the variegation
The plant will die
can't wait for an update on this! was so happy for you with the thai constellation update
200$ just for one Leaf. I bough one for 50€. I thought this was to much Money
GREAT GREAT GREAT
I just got a rooted cutting with three leafs (all half moon) for around $300.
I would not root it in water!!!!!!!!! Root it in perlite, super easy!
The way you set the leaf on the table made me anxious! Why would you fold it😭😂 and not let the leaf hang off the table
Yayy i'm so excited for you!!! its Beautiful 🥰 Good luck 🤞🏼 I got mine halloween day and i love it i don't regret not one single penny spent on it☺️
It’s beautiful!!!🌱Good luck !!!
Nice to meet another plant lover. Thanks for sharing.🎄
I cannot believe the prices in the US. In the EU they cost like 3x less.
Congratulations! Any update?
So happy for you! It’s beautiful 🤩! It will root well in water!
That. Is. Gorgeous. 💯 I would be so happy
Would I have the name of nursery you got it ?
Our is growing a new leaf super excited!
It worth less than £20 now
From my experience the aerial roots means it will root ! What do you guys think?
Aww how cute !!🥰🥰
Again i see you he he , How are you?
Congratulations! 🍃 🍃
Any updates on how it is rooting?
Congratulations!!! So excited for you!! Best of luck!!! It’s gorgeous!! God bless!!
You are super beautiful 😍
Congratulations on your New Baby😂😃
Just dip the node in the rooting powder.
Thank you
You made a great choice Erika beautiful cutting I can't wait for updated progress videos.
Beautiful! Good luck with the rooting!
I finally got my first albo cutting couple months ago through a trade ! It’s a top cutting and was unrooted. I put her in moss in a humidity box and she has SO many roots it’s crazy! I’ve had my Thai since early summer of 19 and he just started spitting out fenestrated leaves a couple months back! You picked a cutie 🥰 😍💚
I hope everything goes well!! Good luck! 🍀😍
Hi Erika! Congrats on your new plant! Gonna be fun watching it grow! Quick question I’ve changed most my indoor plants to the mix you use (50/coco coir 30/perlite 10/orchid bark 10/worm castings. Do you use extra fertilizer for the house plants when using this mix? Or should I wait till Spring to put additional fert? 😊
I like to give them fish fertilizer, since it's slow release! You can give it to them once & then start fertilizing like normal in the spring :)
@@ErikaLodes Sounds good. Do you find that fish fertilizer has a bad odor when using it on indoor plants?
@@angel.heart007 When the soil is just watered, the smell does linger but it's very faint. As it dries, the smell does go away tho. But when you are using it, you should really do it outside because it smells suuuper bad.
Give an update!
You are just too cute! Congratulations on your new baby!
Holy cow that is beautiful and you are one lucky girl. Merry Christmas to you.
The picture did not do it justice !! It looked so beautiful and magical when you were unpackaging it ☁️ 🌿☁️
Erika!! You’re glowing!! Happy for you and your new plant bb🥰
Congratulations! So excited for you!
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. 😂😅
No way to much
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! 👋🏽
Honey 😍
🤩🤩🤩
Just bought a Monstera Albo Borsigiana White Tiger Deliciosa Variegated Double Node Cutting from that website hope it works 🤞
Do you prefer rareexoticseeds or rarepalmseeds for online plant shopping? How about Seeds or Cuttings (which do you prefer to purchase online)?
Cute! So happy for you! I just won an Ebay bid on a rooted Pink Princess Philodendron! It's so pretty and I'm so excited! Do you name your plants?
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 😃
