I love that your videos are just as rare as your plants. Not many take as much time as you do to actually give an excellent presentation as well as be so informational! 😊
Okay but can we talk about how interesting this is? I mean, I love plant tours and propagation guides as well, but this really felt different and new. I just really liked it!
The time and effort you put into your videos really is amazing ! I love your content and I appreciate how long they are. 7 min videos once a week isn’t enough for me. I watch primarily plant RUclips and no tv 🤣
Could you do a short propagating video on top cut, mid cut how those cuts affect new growth and how if changes the growth pattern of the mother plants 🥺 Live live your videos🤩💚💗
Hello Kaylee, I would be really happy if you dedicate one video to mother plants and everything about them. How many you have, how you care for them, how much you can cut at once, when it is no longer suitable for prop.. :) Thanks, Daria
Love the way you speak, right to the point and clearly enthusiastic at the same time. You cut through all the crap and have all the answers and always up to date. Love you, keep going
I feel like this video was made for me! I’m a hobbyist and have about 50 rare plants. I’m thinking of selling my propagations. Thank you so much for your videos!! So much work and heart goes into all of them.👍🏼❤️
i actually started really getting into plant collecting because of your videos!! it's really such a fun hobby i only recently started collecting rare plants and i dont really have much insight into the market so i only get the (more budget friendly) rare ones that i personally think are pretty. so even if their value crashes (like monstera albo var in my country right now) i will still have something i think is beautiful and that i love looking at in my flat :)
Honestly I buy and grow and propagate all my babies solely to enjoy their beauty and improve the energy of my home.. I trade propagations with my bestie who also shares my passion for growing houseplants, I have (51) houseplants not including props.. but I find absolutely NOTHING wrong with buying for profit and sales.. I get a lot of useful information from people who solely buy for profit
I bought a Ph. Burle Marx Fantasy one node cutting last November for 250,- €. It was the most I've ever spent on a plant, and it scared the sh** out of me to propogate - especially before winter! It was my absolute nr. 1 wishlist plant and I justified the price because i I also thought I could propagate and resell it. I was surprised how well it rooted and how much it grew since then. The current market price in Germany went down to ~160 - ~190,-€ per one node, but that's still great. Last year you could not get this plant at all and it is such a joy to watch it growing.
Here in Florida growing in pots on a porch or under an oak tree Philodendron sp. atabapoense and syngonium cv "Thai Pink Splash" are the most vigorous and easy to propagate here.
Woooow. Here in Geneva (Switzerland) I am struggling so hard with Phil Atabapoense and Billietiae. I have them for two years now, it's summer, and I still don't get what they like, and they don't grow at all.
@@t.k.-s.4212 . There was a collection of philodendron atabapoense from outside the city of San Fernando De Atabapo in Venezuela. The city is on the Atabapo River that divides Venezuela and Columbia. The humidity there is in the upper 90's year round. Average rainfall is 130 inches a year and the temperature rarely goes below 73 or above 94 degrees fahrenheit. Mine has gone down into the 40s without harm. I use peat perlite and bark for my planting medium and keep it moist and watered all summer and let it dry out between waterings in the winter. I only fertilize in the spring and summer.
@@lisabromeliads8150 . I moved from Orlando to Interlachen Fl this year my plants are doing great because I now have have good well water. I expect to bring my plants in this winter because it's colder here.
oh no crystalinum, in Indonesia it called "kuping gajah kuno" an old elephant's ear plant, which popular 1980s , so it's kinda boring, and it reminds people about living in the countryside or it owned by elderly people. so, today the clarinervium price is 4x higher than the crystalinum...
Yeah I am Indonesian and my mom was surprised that anyone cares about the crystallinium. It's like an african violet here in the states (old person plant)
Hi really a superb topic. Since you talked about the Macrolobium and that's it is quite rare and new I wanted to show you a giant species I have. The mother plant that I got the propagated cutting from is atleast 20 years old. I am from India btw.
I’d love to see some of your at home propagation techniques in future. Obviously you now do it on a commercial scale (forever jealous) but would be cool to see what you would do if you were starting over at home!
I got a choco red over a month ago, and suspected root rot; posted about it on a plant forum to get second opinions, and people didn't think it was root rot. It absolutely was, so I eventually had to salvage what I could, and about a week ago I finally discovered new healthy root growth - didn't buy it as an investment plant though, just because I love it. I'm so happy that it's finally getting better ❤️
Super informative answering many of my questions regarding investment plants vs personal. Current pricing and market trend presented here is excellent. Love this, look forward to. Thank you!!!!!!! watching and learning each week.
I think an important thing to remember is that different countries have different regulations pertaining to shipping plants across borders. Based on personal experience, it can be difficult to ship some plants to different countries. So it's important to identify where you want to ship to as well. Love hearing your advice
Such an interesting video! Thank you :-) If you could, I would really like it if you could talk about the Philodendron White Wizard. I think there are a lot of white Princesses on the market (at least where I am / Germany) But I love the White Wizard soooo much more! Thank you so much for your videos. I hope you have a nice Weekend!
Just last night I was talking to my SO about propagating for profit in a home setting and what that entails. Which plants, best setup, importing from ethical growers..etc
Thank you so much! I was thinking that I might be able to afford more rare plants if I sell some cuttings of the plants I own. This advice is so helpful!
Super useful video, already excited for the next part! Is the shop open at the moment? I would love to come in and be mesmerised by all of your plants!
I'd be interested to hear about your favorite plant the gloriosum and a monstera standleyana in the next video. And a climbing philo like atabapoense or billietie
I got my monstera albo for only 14 euros, with 4 leaves and a new one that was sprouting out... I only got one leave cutting of Florida Beauty, and it already had nice roots when I got her... I bought her for 55 euros... Syngonium albo was also maybe 10 euros... It already had 5 leaves.
Great segment. Thoroughly enjoyed it. My suggestions would be PPP (and variations), a. Luxurians, and possibly elaborate on adansonii (and variations). I'm currently looking to purchase an adansonii aurea for an investment but not sure if I should pull the trigger or not.
@@gbtx217 water propagation was the only thing that worked for me but ive recently used perlite and it’s so much faster and ive not had any rot. it’s definitely my favourite way right now
@@gbtx217 i have a prop box, which has a heat mat attached to the side. Wildfern on youtube has a great example of one. i just have perlite and the bottom and wet the perlite a little so it wasn’t soaking. the lid and heat mat are always on unless i go to check on my cuttings. ive also used plant pots with perlite and put it on a dish with water so it acts as a water reservoir. depending on what the plant is i might cover with with a plastic bag to keep humidity levels up and i just fill the dish up when there’s no water left. the plant pot method seems to work the best for me as a couple of alocasia bulbs have rotted in my prop box (because the perlite was too wet)
Kaylee, can you please feature these plants in part 2. Anthurium besseae Anthurium veitchii Anthurium chamberlainii P. jose buono Epi. Pinnatum (aurea and albo)
Any Plant Actually nowadays. You grow them to something beautiful... not easy but not hard.... a few minutes on FB marketplace.... sold. :) Its really cool... us Gardeners are such an awsome group to sell to.... we are so easy. lol.
My first into to rare anthuriums came by way of my father's collection. I have several matured seed grown specimens of anthurium podophyllum. Grown from single heart shaped leaves to fully mature ornate snowflake style leaves I feel they are the most underrated/unknown anthurium. And they are tough against low humidity, frost, and over watering too. It's love to hear of you have any exposure to them.
ReneeRussell here. I enjoyed this video. So much clear and organized info. I would like to see a video on rare plants- what makes it a rare plant - Many thanks!
My Billie is working out great for me and is producing giant foliage regularly. Can't recommend it enough. Lucked out and found one with a *thicc* stem and burgeoning roots though, so experiences may vary.
My mostera is the only plant of mine that's earned me money. I got it dirt cheap (20£) from a plant shop that had had it for a year without anyone getting it. It was growing upside down and everything from just being in a corner so i cut the twisty ones and sold those.
This video helped me take the plunge on a Florida beauty. It was only $65 in California🤯 it has low variegation but it will probably still pay off since the mother had more.
How can you not be sweating to death in there??? Brows and highlights look FABULOUS! THANK YOU DOR SHARING YOUR PLANT EDUCATION!! Can you just share simple care for Moonlight and POOs.
hope to hear about variegated adansonii in the next video, they are sold for around 1000 AUD but grow alot faster than deliciosa. they can be more risky with their sectoral variegation as you can end up with a totally white or green stem unless you find an even rarer candy cane stem.
I hope you talk about syngonium in part two. Have you ever heard of or seen Syngonium Red Spot Tricolor Variegated and Syngonium Milk Confetti Pink Variegated? they’re the most expensive syngonium I’ve ever seen.
Hi Kaylee, maybe a dumb question but how does the definition of “rare plants” work? It defo not b/c the price, since that is driven by supply demand as we all know. Is it rare because it can barely be seen in the nature? What if it is rarely seen in nature but it is everywhere in TC, nursery, houses etc, is it then still rare?
I think variegated plants are generally rarer, as are plants that need really special/high-maintenance care to properly grow and flourish. As for variegation, what is more „unnatural“ is more rare I think
There’s commercial rarity and botanical rarity. Often times in the plant community, “rare” means uncommon and not as easy to come by on the market. Thus more expensive. Usually they’re uncommon because they are difficult to care for, slow growing, or difficult to propagate. Botanical rarity would be difficult to find in the wild, usually not sold on the market, only sold between serious collectors much like the obliqua. Interestingly enough, oblique is no longer botanically rare now because some collectors started propagating it and making it available on the market. Now it’s just uncommon, but still quite pricey (we’re talking 4 digits)
Rare plants depends where you live in the world, it's more hard to acquire and how much. Eg a pink princess may be rare and expensive in England, but in abundance in Australia. Also hard to grow, propergate like albos
I love your videos so full of info. I’ve been wondering why no one ever mention amydriums or pipers when they talk about aroids grown as houseplants. I was happy and surprised to see you mention the amydrium zippelianum variegated last week( I love mine) i was wondering if you could do a Video about aroids less familiar to people. Look forward to your videos every Friday . Thank you
In regards to amydriums, it's just that the interest isnt there. People are still obsessed over the large leafed Philo's and anthurium. Sourcing amydriums seems a bit more difficult so they don't show up consistently in markets. But more and more people are starting to notice. Pipers, well they're not aroids, they're pipers. Have you seen the undescribed homalomena species coming out in the market? Those are definitely attracting interest from the more niche collectors. There are also some really interesting hybrids coming out of Japan that I feel are actually intergeneric crosses with bucephelandra.
