- G'day, guys! You're not going to believe the rare plants that I found at Bunnings in Waurn Ponds whilst plant shopping the other day. We're talking Anthurium, Philodendron, Aglaonema, Monstera, Begonia, Syngonium, Alocasia, and much more! Loads of rare aroids!

Let me know which of these rare and interesting aroid plants you would've taken home if you'd been shopping with me at Bunnings. And also, let me know if they're considered 'rare plants' in your neighbourhood.
yay shopping! 💚
Haha
Omg you did a skit with kill this plant 🥰🥰 I love you both so glad you came together for a vid, should collab more often
Hehe thanks, mate! So glad you saw it!
I love it,multiple road trips.I quite enjoyed seeing what your nurseries supply.Thank you knowing how I enjoy a challenge, I would have taken the fd up chlarinervium
Oh my goodness!
OMG I am SO freaking jealous!! I wish we had a store like that in USA!! I have been want a freaking aglaonema Pictum tricolor FOREVER!! I finally got a tiny tiny baby for $50 which was a freaking steal!! And not to mention ALL the other plants there!! I would probably be in so much debt if I lived by that store!!!
hahaha yeah... I've probably given them the equivalent of a small house deposit over the past year or so
Air plants in sea urchin is because they look like jellyfish. It's cute & hides the hanging wires
I wish we had selections like this in the states... I would have absolutely scooped up the billie, jacklyn, and the stingray 😍😍😍🤤.
Yeah, it's pretty nuts how Bunnings got into the rarer stuff, though, this is probably the best Bunnings around here. Most other ones don't have this kind of selection.
And then we would be broke.
@@petevsplants7516 It's because one of their suppliers (Enliven) has made it their mission to bring down the prices of rare plants by making them more available. Mark got sick of the crazy plant costs.
I always see stuff posted on Reddit from the magical Bunnings. But I've never been inside one...until now! Thanks for the tour. I'm rather envious. I can't believe those ROFs! And mamei!
My pleasure, mate :D Whereabouts are you from?
@@petevsplants7516 Colorado USA.
Wow ring of fuego ,
I know! Love them, but they always seem to get rust spots so fast...
I really love the giant ZZ plants. I think I need one that size in my life ❤❤❤❤
Yeah they're pretty cool! Just so slow lol
Loved the ficus shiveriana. I have one but it’s only about 5inches tall. I have a jacklyn and no spider mites so far. Thanks for showing us around. Wish there was a bunnings here in the states
Cheers, Karen! Yeah they seem tiny elsewhere in the world, but the ones in Aus tend to be pretty established and large now.
Wow! Love most of the plants in the mega store. It would be hard to select one…for $20😜
haha indeed. Too many good options
Your big box store has rof, gigas, clarinervium, Billie, jacklyn...!? I'm super jealous. I did recently find one lonely, beat up gloriousum at a big box store in the US.
Wow I wish we had a place with a selection like this near me, this is awesome!
I love that store! You'd never find this kind of selection at a store around here. It's funny, when you walked past the ficus and peace lilies I was thinking, I'd be done shopping because that'd be the entire selection of any store near me lol.
Hahaha yeah pretty much. Most nurseries are like that here too
I had to smile at how softly(?) you called that guy running the red light "idiot", haha. I'm more of a what I like to call Tourette driver and swear to myself in very interesting choice words whenever I see such idiots on my way to work and there's a LOT.
Love the selection of plants and the cute doggo at the entrance of the store, those two were my favourite in this video!
I think they put them in sea urchins because this one in particular looks like a jelly fish. It’s cool looking
Impressive show of self restraint there Pete, well done!
Me on the other hand stays away from any shops or stores that sell plants cause I have none whatsoever😂
Haha thanks, mate. Definitely abused my bank account on other occasions off camera haha
@@petevsplants7516 Of course you did, silly me 😂
What fabulous plants at your local hardware store!!!! Wish I could find them at my local hardware shop here in the northeast, US. Got to say you put me to shame because I would have bought about 6 different plants!!! I am probably going to jinx myself but I have a Jacqueline and I’ve never had spider mites on it. 🤔
ahaha I know what you mean... I've definitely lashed out my fair share at other times there though
Better selection than the stores near me here in the states. And we have a saying about the drivers… “always remember it’s not about you”😅
lol pretty much.... People can be nutjobs on the road
Shut the front door! Clarinervium?! Hoppers Crossing Bunnings is great (my local) but I'm going to Waurn Ponds Bunnings next chance I get 😀🤯
Hehe ask them at Hoppers to order them in for you. They might be able to do it.
Enjoyed it! That was the biggest Zanzi I’ve ever seen! Good to know what to expect from mine in 10 years🤣
I know... wth right? They were massive!
You showed such restraint ! Id take one of each. 😂🤣
Haha :D I know... not easy
Selloum can get really massive when planted directly in ground. My mum has a huge one in her front garden that's been there needing no assistance to survive for at least 15-20 years in metro Victoria.
wow!
🐸🧦
WHAT
that place has an amazing selection. I recently got a little 4" Gloriosum. 🥺 I'm filled with awe and envy.
oh nice one! Which type?
@@petevsplants7516 I think it's just a regular gloriosum, but I don't really know. I'll send some pictures your way.
The restraint Pete! Impressive!
I would’ve gotten at LEAST one Jacklyn if not a few haha. I’m weak for alocasias 😅
Hehe I know... was so close to getting one
The Jacklyn would have come home with me!
Hehe good taste :D
That's some self restraint goals. I'd have grabbed that ring of fire but just because I don't have one yet!
Lol I had to because of all the lack of restraint in past videos... and off video... lol
Oh man I would of been way over $120 😅 great selection & video 💯🪴🇨🇦👍
Haha it's a bit like that! Thanks mate
Wtf. We need a bunnings in the states. Such great selection!
Oh Wow!! There’s no Buntings in the US 😩💚💚 The Jacklyn is so beautiful 😍 Oohh the Zenzi ZZ!! So proud of you for not getting any plants.
Hehe cheers, Sherry. Yeah... might have unleashed at a later date haha
@@petevsplants7516 😂💚
Your big box stores is better then my nurseries here
Yeah, this one in particular often has great stuff.
Love these vids, always interesting to hear how these plants vary and what to look out for at Bunnings. I can always use some new excuses for picking up a plant!
Hehe glad to be of service mate :D
Kudos to you…great will power. I would have walked out with a Ring of Ring of Fire🔥 😅 I popped in to a couple of stores in rural NSW on my way home from the South Coast (Jervis Bay area) and went insane at the selection compared to the Sydney Bunning stores around me. I came away with 4 plants, one of which is a Ring of Fire 😆
Haha nice one! Give the RoF a spray down with fungicide regularly as they seem prone to rust. I've got two and they're both covered in spots :(
@@petevsplants7516 Thanks for the heads up...I sprayed all new plants with Yates Rose Gun. You reckon that'll suffice or do you have one you recommend works better? 🤔
Soooooo jealous
Hehe
Those Jacklyns do get huge, it's one of those plants that I have to touch every time I walk past it. Reminds me, I want to pick up another Ag. Tri colour, as I lost one recently. Well done on the self restraint! :D
Yeah mine recently just rotted out... I didn't get it. It had other plants in the same pot that had sprouted up and the main one's stem just rotted and snapped. Random...
@@petevsplants7516 mine from Enliven did the same and it wasn't even overwatered (repotted into a clear pot in aroid mix and only watered when dry). I think their TC Aglaonema Tricolours have bad genetics 🤷♂️
@@fivefalcon6010 Yeah, I dunno what the deal is. The variegation on the Enliven ones wasn't the best anyway :(
@@petevsplants7516 Yeah, the tri colours are something else. They just kinda collapse at random. I was afraid to water the one I have left, so let it go and dry out completely... and it collapsed, I watered it, then it came back up again, I've honestly never seen an Ag fall then get back up like that. If I didn't see it happen to my own plant I wouldn't have believed it.
Omg I wish I could get a clarinervium in a local box stores!
I know! First time I've seen these types of Anthuriums around. I think they clearly have them in tissue culture and that's allowed it to happen here.
That was awesome. I don't have a car anymore so I can't go through Bunnings for a lookeeloo anymore. Living vivcariously.
Amazon has some clear growing pots too. Do you have a stockist for any smaller than 10cm? I've been using picnic cups and burning drainage holes, but given their shape, there isn't as much root space and they aren't always suitable for my display pots. Curtious if you are aware of any other sources. I habitually overwater so found transparent pots helps me keep on top of the moisture levels because I can see the condensation.
Cheers, mate! To be honest, I just use plastic cups too for anything smaller than 10cm. I haven't seen any clear pots smaller than that size going around.
@@petevsplants7516 Thanks. It's frustrating when there are so many nice pots for plants with smaller footprints. It would be nice to find some clear pots that fit snugly.
Que lindas amei
Kkkk obrigado amiga :D
Hello from Kansas! Jealous of the selection! I feel like all the box stores here are starting slow this year with their spring stuff.
Ah bugger! Hopefully they stock up on the goodies soon for you mate :D Love your accent btw!
And the rare pine.
Hehe might have grabbed one of those at a later date :D
How did you walk from that Jacklyn? One of my favs and so impressive.
Loved your guest appearance! Trade for $$$ is always the way. 😂
Lol it was hard... to be honest I was thinking about it, but I may have also just thrown out half my alocasia collection because they've been getting spider mites on and off for the past 6 months and I'm over it. I found them completely infesting the stingray in leca again after having washed them all off and spraying it down only a month ago, so just gave up and binned it. I'll start again in the future if I have time.
@@petevsplants7516 Do you find the beneficial bugs to have any impact vs the spider mites? I was planning a trip to the nursery that carries them to buy some fresh packets before vacation. Thank goodness I’ve only battled fungus gnats and mealy bugs in the house.
@@petevsplants7516 I’m shocked you have issues with spider mites on your stingray. I’ve had my stingray for years and even when I was hardcore neglecting it for a good 2 years (underwatering and never giving any nutrients despite being in leca) i never saw a single spider mite on it. It certainly didn’t grow well during that time and I’m sure it was stressed so I must have some pretty good genetics on mine for it to still be alive and to have never had pests on it. I will say that spider mites don’t seem to be a big issue with my plants despite having dry winters but I did find spider mites on a plant in the same area as the stingray about a year ago, so I know they’re around.
@@richardr5878 one of the issues with using beneficial bugs for mites is that the best predators are predatory mites which tend to require high humidity (70%+) to thrive. They just do way better metabolically at high humidity. If you live somewhere with high ambient humidity then you will likely have more luck than someone living with lower ambient humidity. There are species that can tolerate lower humidity but they aren’t as effective.
You are like a kid in a candy store lol ❤
Haha pretty much :D This is what it's like being an adult haha
The challenge of going to Bunnings or a nursery and leaving empty handed is all to real......and one I fail at more times than not 😂
lol the struggle is real...
The 2 Bunnings close to me in Sydney (Alexandria, the biggest Bunnings in Australia and Eastgardens) often have some really nice Alocasias but they're always in such horrible condition (not worse than IKEA plants though!). I saw a couple of Stingrays there last week. REALLY wanted to take one home, but they were just so beat up I walked out empty handed :(
Yeah, you need to grab them pretty much instantly or they hit the deck within a few weeks. But that makes for good marked down deals when they look like crap. All you need to do is make sure they don't have root rot at the store and bring them home and within a few months you can get them looking good again.
That first Aglonema was nice, does anyone know it’s name? Guess I’ll just HAVE to go to Bunnings!😂
I love your comment my “wife would be proud of me for not buying any plants !!! “ I’m in the same predicament!!!
Hahaha yep...
Watched a show earlier where they planted an alocasia with succulents, needless to say idk what they were talking about
hahaha did it survive?
@@petevsplants7516 idk it was just on the table there, imma go out on a whim and say no to that tho lol
I would love a Jacklyn but I’m still battling the f***ing spider mites on my micholitziana and I’m so over it. Hate those little SOBs. 😡
I know... never ends!
I would have taken the billie and the Jacklynn
Good choices!
I have a problem, tempted by most. Would have loved to know the price on the yellow coloured ficus, might give them a call. As I have been watching lots of plant vlogs lately, I have to wonder if pulling a plants leaf is like someone pulling your ear, ( weird thought), I know.
yeah they'll be able to tell you if you call them.
Get a dwarf jade, turn it into a little bonsai tree or throw it into a salad.
lol throw it into a salad?
@@petevsplants7516 Yeah, no joke. The leaves are edible and taste a little lemony.
How did u not by that Jacklyn 😭😭😭
Haha I know...
I'm so jealous bunnings in my town in W.A. is a bit shit compared to your bunnings
Which bunnings is that ?
Waurn Ponds.
Tuggeranong Bunnings ACT is the best in Canberra...
Selection is ubelievable, my plant shops just git the clarinervium on podests with special lights on them, and next to it is the unbelievably rare philodendron birkin...
Oh nice!
Here in New York in tHe US I had to hunt and hunt for a two leaf cutting of gigas and u have it in ur big box. Wtf
Haha yeah it's a bit like that...
i wish the planty selection ,was that awesome its not (denmark)
:( just go on a trip to the Netherlands hehe that'll put the rest of us to shame
😲😲
Your Bunnings🌿vids should come with a health care warning.
⚠️Danger of Heart Attack.
Symptoms: Rapid heart beat & an emptying bank account. ⚠️
I would've come out with at least 50 plants.
Fifty plants, now that's what I call restraint.
Bahahaha :D
damnn how come your big box store has "*rare*" plants
also, is it super anxiety inducing recording out in public? I'd feel so self-conscious
Enliven is a company that partnered with Bunnings during the Covid pandemic I believe and they had a line of rare plants they grew out of TC and which are still hitting the market. I've a feeling these will slow down though as I hear they're not selling as much as they once did.
And it's not too bad, though I am somewhat conscious when other people are really close and listening in lol
