Great to see all your vids lately! I guess I'm lucky in that (don't shoot me) I don't really care much for variegated plants. Oh sure, I have a couple that I do like but I'm more into deep green and funky leaf shapes. But always interesting to see the unicorns and you seem to highlight them first!
The joepii is such an oddball. the fact that the variegated ones are like 10K a leaf is just absolutely bonkers, but I can understand going for it when you are a collector of interesting leafs. The spiritis sancti video is something I absolutely would love to see. That plant is like a nightmare in every chategory
Commenting again because I love rewatching your videos! Im sure these videos are soooo much work and research to make but I hope to see a fancy Anthurium one in the future if you feel inspired to make it ofc 💚 Anthurium are rising in popularity and I’m living for it as they’re my fave genus to grow. But there’s def some insane price tags that come with that fame 😅
id love to see that spiritus sancti video! im new into my houseplant journey and ive been watching and learning a lot but ive never seen a youtuber make so many interesting takes on the genetics of houseplants!! i was starting to think abt it just last night as i was going down my own expensive houseplant deep dive. maybe im just scratching the surface of plant trends and genetics, but its definitely fascinating and id love to see more!
Your videos really stand out, great content as always. I believe many people will disagree with me but really don't like any kind of dark velvety leaves with variagation and is even worst if variagation is yellow and dark velvet. Mottled variagation not for me as well, it reminds me of lack of nutrition or virus. I am probably very fussy 😉
Thank you! I used to be all about variegation but now that I’m keeping mostly anthurium I do see what you mean about it making the plants look sick. Mottled yellow variegation on dark anthurium looks gross imo. You’re not alone. Variegated philos and monstera can still get it though 🫶🏻✨🪴❤️
Watching this reminds how amazing it how much plant prices have dropped in less than a year. I went to a popup last July and they had a Sancti for $4200, a couple Joepii for over 2K, etc. I went a week ago to another popup and they had multiple baby Sanctis for $100-$200. and a decent sized Joepii for $60. Plant people need to keep coming up with new things for the high end collectors, but I can't imagine there are that many people willing to spend $10-$20k for a plant.
Very well said. I think at this point, paying that much should be reserved for something that’s newly developed that includes like licensing rights or something I.e. really only nurseries looking to make money on something that maybe a TC lab developed but with no expectation that the general public will ever pay that much. The plant crash happened because most people who were paying inflated prices for plants were looking to make money on them and then everyone they sold to had the same idea. Now there’s almost no one left buying plants. Funny how that happened. Also imo the Spiritis Sancti has always been a highly overrated clout trap but props to whomever named it for being a marketing genius bc of course a bunch of people are going through to ascribe arbitrary value to something “rare” named after the literal Holy Spirit. Same thing happened with the Birkin. TY for coming to my Ted Talk 😆
@@PlantFriendDownTheStreet There was a line down the block last year to get into the popup. I arrived early this time and no line, maybe no more than 15 people in the shop in the hour I was there!.They were still buying plants but not nearly to the same degree. I could pick out the online resellers because they were making piles.
Sounds familiar! Of course “no one is buying plants” is an exaggeration but I’ve seen the same thing here. I went to the first ever Ecuagenera pop up in LA in 2021 and it was madness. I actually vlogged it. People drove down from San Francisco. Crazy times.
Heyyy baby girl what fertelizer u use the albo i shop her she was hugeee that plant amaze my mom i shop her and pot it up to give my mom a cutting for mothers day ❤❤❤❤
I saw a pretty old joepii last week ant it was the ugliest narly plant I’ve ever seen! I had been wanting one for a long time but no thanks now I’m passing on that one.
Great video.Very interested in your video content.I'm the marketing PR for SANSI, a grow lighting manufacturer，I wonder if you are interested in LED grow lights, we can send you a free light sample for review.

Nooo don’t do this to me
I’m so sorry 🫶🏻✨❤️🪴
Girl you are just slaying!!! Great videos back to back to back!
And yes please tell us why the spiritus sancti is a genetic mess, so curious to get your thoughts.
Thank you!!!! I need to do some research but I’ll add it to the list

Thank you! I agree a lot of variegated plants are overrated… I’m not a fan of variegated anthurium at all
would love to see that spiritus sancti video! loving your content lately
Guess I gotta get researching then…
We need this video - share ze knowledge 😮😮🙌🌟🙌

I think the joepii has a really cool story and if I had a bigger place with more space for plants then who knows, mayeb I’d get one?
Spiritus sancti deep dive?? Yes plz!!😃❤
It seems the people have spoken so I’ll have to start researching

The plowmanii is my favorite too. But I do like the joepii
Good taste
Joepii is my most favourite plant ever and I hope to own a variegated one someday 😊
I hope you find the perfect one!
That plowmanii is perfection ❤
Just discovered your channel, really enjoying it! 🌿
Thank you so much, that’s so great to hear!
Make a Sancti video! Super interesting!
Ok fine haha 😂 🫶🏻✨🪴❤️
@@PlantFriendDownTheStreet can’t wait!! 👀
Love your content!❤
Thank you so much! That really means a lot 🫶🏻✨🪴❤️
Im a total plant nerd would love a genetic deep dive on SS or other species
Uh oh this means I might have to do it 🫶🏻
I'd appreciate a spiritus sanctii deep dive. IMHO variegation is not aways a plus. Often times the variegation just makes the plant look sickly.
Variegated anthurium all look like they’re dying imo
My variegated Joepii came from a flask of ten tc plantlets. It seems to only throw variegation every other leaf.
That’s cool! Do you like it? Is the color what you were hoping for on the leaves that are variegated?
@@PlantFriendDownTheStreet yes I love it!

It's quite a bit when I'm watching the video and the Atabapoense varie surfaced more and it is gorgeous ❤ still very pricey though
Please make that spiritus sancti video 🙏

Hey! I use Tezula MSU orchid fertilizer
My painted lady started to have leaves with green varigation. I thought it's common
It's pretty common in painted lady imo. Seen plenty of this here in Europe... It's def not stable tho. Just happens from time to time.

Am I first? Woohoo

Yeah, those are definitely pretty quirky… probably a pass for me as well
Just found your channel and am enjoying it!
