    Oh my, the sentence of monstera devil looking like spider mite infestation is so true! Even if I sleep on money I would never buy it. It’s just ugly and looks sick. I enjoy variegated plants but it’s the 🌿GREEN🌿 that calms me down.

    With all the failures I have had with cuttings and these "rare" plants, I will not be paying that much for any plant. I stopped shopping so much on Etsy. Lots of overpriced plants that die in transit or right after you get them. Beware the extortionists on Etsy.

    • @brooke5258

    I generally buy plants that are 20.00 or less, a lot are cuttings. I have been known to spend up to 40.00 if I am crushing hard on a plant. If I had unlimited funds, I would get any plants that I wanted. None of the plants you showed appealed to me though. Yes, on a part 2. Peace and kisses to you.

    To clarify on the 350,00 euro price tag you saw. In Europe they have a different system than in the US. We use decimals to denote change and they use commas. So $30,000.52 would look like €30.000,52.

    🤣 This video is so funny! Fun fact, you are not 100% wrong when you talk about a sick plant 😅 many variegations are due either to a genetic mutation or to certain deficiencies or diseases. The non-green parts have a lack of chlorophyll, so the plant is more sensitive and vulnerable to everything, a plant that manages to keep 100% white leaves must take its energy from one place and at the slightest problem it will drop them to survive and at a certain stage each new non-green leaf it will drop one because we have reached its maximum energy. All these variegated plants are probably not stable and in good conditions and if we take some either at great risk of reversion (returning to its normal form). Before variegated plants were not popular because they were "sick" plants, which is not 100% false lol 😆
    We have even seen scams, some variegation is due to the fact that growers give a chemical to the plant to make it special, but over time the plant does not receive what makes it special and returns to its regular state.
    Even if you are rich, before buying this type of plants always take into account the risk that this plant can return to its "standard" state and that nothing can be done about it. That a plant is never an investment to make "cuttings" and resell, because the time that the plant grows and all the price will go down enormously especially with plants in tissue culture. Take care of you 💛

    There is a certain insanity to plant prices. I could not ever justify paying even $50. on a plant. I don't jump off of the RARE plant cliff if you will. Anything popping right now will be at a BBstore in 2 years. Do I wait? Yes. Then I wait sometimes til it hits a clearance section and rehab it. I feel if you are charging plants you've kinda lost it cause a hobby should be just that and not a debt on your shoulder. Also honestly some of this RARE plants aren't that attractive. Like there are some real "Hoya Head" collectors that put enough money down on some rare thing that's like akin to a car payment and it looks like nothing special to me. Like if I was at a 4 way stop and looked out the window and saw a pricker bush on the side of the road that's how attractive that "Rare Hoya" is to me. Don't buy the hype lol.
