Rare Plant Shopping in Sweden | Prices in US vs Europe | A Small Plant World Part IV | Ep 46

- Опубликовано: 18 сен 2024
- I was recently able to meet up with Oskar (@plantthatplant on Instagram) in Lund, Sweden. Oskar is a well known and respected rare tropical aroid collector, trader, and seller in the European plant scene. In this episode (Part 4), we go plant shopping at Tradsgards Paletten, a prominent garden center in Malmo, Sweden. We discuss what is is considered rare and not rare in US and Europe. Though we are oceans apart and there are definitely some differences, I hope this series highlight that we are much more similar than we may think =)

It is amazing how behind and more expensive plants are in the US. The size of that store is awesome. I am thinking I need to move to Sweden.
I kept getting distracted by how cute Oscar is....lol unbelievable nursery though my goodness so many impressive plants I would go so broke if I lived there!!!!!
How fun to see you over here! I'll definately have to visit this greenhouse sometime. Btw - The Alocasia you called sarian is actually Alocasia lauterbachiana :)
Haha it was fun being there! Definitely one of the most fun vid to shoot and edit. Thanks for the correction. I’m so bad with plant names these days. Hopefully more international plant adventures to come! Cheers!
Thats my favourite store, i only buy my plants from them!😍
Beautifully displayed plants, so large and healthy looking. Prices and availability there is great! 🌿✌🌿
Yeah, I was blown away. They even had a seedling nursery I didn’t get a chance to film.
Omg 😱 Those selections with low matching price its surreal. And the nursery store its gorgeous and clean .
Yeah, everything about that nursery is amazing!
This is hands down the BEST place in southern Sweden when it comes to plants! Was there today, just casually strolled by a Monstera Albo Variegata... bought it... of COURSE!
Haha that’s good to know because I haven’t found a place remotely comparable to that in the US. Apparently there are some in Florida but I haven’t been.
Now I kinda want to relocate with oscar lol why can't we have greenhouses like this in the us with the same prices 🌿🌿🌿
Thank you Dr. J sharing European plant tour. Plants are beautiful and I noticed the leaves are much bigger. I wonder what type of fertilizer they use 🤔 steroids fertilizer 😆. (Lol) and Wow the prices so reasonable in Europe. Enjoy watching your channel 💚🌿
That was so cool! I really enjoyed that!! So cool that they can find stuff like that at local nurseries!
I wish I was there😍✌🏻 that's killing me here watching this all those plant so hard and expensive to get here in the US
CRAZY!!!! I really hope you brought some of those plants home! Loved the tour and this is just amazing!!!
Haha I haven’t been expanding my collection much due to space issues lol. I need to offload a few things. Also, being a plantuber fulfills a lot of my planty needs haha
Legends Of Monstera feel free to off load here👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻😂🤣😂
Ahhh I didn’t want it to end! Can’t wait for the next one x
Haha, as a swede I'm loving the Swedish Christmas songs in the background. Beautiful tour! 💚
You’re so lucky to have traveled to EU Sweden, I’m so jealous. I don’t know how you were able to hold yourself back from buying those plants. 😆I would have had to bought at least 2-3 of each, that are very popular here in the US. Especially that monstera Standleyana albo😍 Thank you for sharing your experience with us all, it was fun😊
Haha well I really don't bother with buying plants when I travel, considering the customs and documents involved. I'm just happy to capture enough good footage to put a few episodes together haha.
Great video! That is an Alocasia Lauterbachiana not a Sarian.
Yep, came to comment on that one as well.
Thanks for the correction. I’m so bad with plant names now lol. Cheers friend!
Thanks for the correction Sarah haha.
what gorgeous affordable plants.... loved all the rhipsalis
Yes! I was hoping you guys would go plant shopping just to see what they have;-).Well done! Hope to see more International Video Tours.
Finalllyyyy. I’ve been waiting for this one!
Hope you enjoy! I think it’s a fun one.
I just found your channel and I really like it. I used to live in Stockholm, Sweden, and there are a lot of places there too, just like this store in Malmö. I miss some of that here, and the prices are very different. I wouldn't even dream of spending what I spend on plants here in the US in Sweden, I would think it was waaaaay too expensive lol. I've always loved gardening, but more and more these days, that I start to care about just leafy plants, I was more into the showy blooms of orchids previously.
Welcome! Yeah plants and prices vary so much even in the EU I learned. Hope to travel more and share more (when things clear) 🤗. Stay safe :)
Hey there! Another awesome video!! I am curious if your friend went back and chopped that guy up to sell him for hundreds?! 🤪
I appreciate you walking through and taking it all in so we can drool too😂
Hope you are having a wonderful day. 🌱❤️
Hahah Oskar sells in the EU where standleyana seems to be pretty cheap everywhere.
This nursery has a wonderful history too. you could ask for guided tour =) 10:06 The Anthurium was a jungle king, also i think you missed on thaumatophyllum spruceanum 7:38. 12:47 they are 160 USD, 15:39 is an Strelizia Nicolai planted in the green house =) Hopfully you have seen 3 other greenhouses too =) Sending you 40 hugs from southern Sweden 🤩
Yeah, I wish I had more plant knowledge to recognize and appreciate more of the plants. I was able to see some of the other green houses but again, lots of plants I didn't know enough to appreciate unfortunately. Plus my stabilizer ran out of batteries so I had to stop filming haha. Cheers!
Love this video!
I love this nursery! thanks
Ugh the Rhipsalis are insaaaaane 😭😭😭 so jealous. Hint hint for restock, Oskar 😝
So crazy how US prices and availabilities are different from ours in europe! I'm often so surprised by the prices of plants US youtubers show in their tours. But anyways, this store is amazing!!! 😍😍🌿
Yeah this store would be pretty amazing even putting aside the prices. Great layout and selection and vibe.
I was always wondering why people in the US paid so much money for plants.. But when this guy mentioned that all the plants are growing in Holland, it suddenly makes sense to me. I live in Holland and we are just surrounded by greenhouses haha. Just bought a Peru that size for five dollars in the supermarket today. 40 dollars is insane! My most expensive plant was 20 bucks: a 28 inches tall monstera adansonii. Thought it was very expensive at that time haha.
Thanks for the wonderful tour. I live in N. Michigan where my Home Depot doesn't even sell house plants. I am living through you! 😛
Haha I hope to keep giving you fun stuff to watch. Cheers and thanks so much for tuning in!
Wow , I'd like to find a plant store like that here in the USA 👍, thanks for sharing!!!
As a Canadian this hurt me deeply xD what an amazing selection! And the PRICES
Planning a Vancouver trip this year to talk to some Canadian folks and share your pain lol
@@LegendsOfMonstera Oh cool! I'm in AB so it will be interesting to see what the plant scene is like there. Looking forward to it :)
Wow monstera Peru!! That's wild. I've never even seen like a normal pot of those and not just arriving in the mail as cuttings. Even if the importing is hard in Europe the variety is killing it.
I just bought a 12cm pot with some good large leaves for 10 euro's and I didn't even know it was a peru, it was sold as a Marble planet epipremnum and I bought it on a whim. Happy with it though! 😋
This really confirms for me that if we wait, and it won't be very long, the prices in N America will come down considerably as growers produce these plants for our market. It'd be awesome if there was shipping from the EU to N America. I don't know of any companies that do.
Think the plant selection and market will surprise us in the US this year. Excited to see what will happen once spring and summer comes and the big box stores release their new inventory.
Love this! Welcome to Sweden 🤩👏🏻
Those Monstera Peru were actually quite expensive, compared to The Netherlands; I paid € 3,95 for mine, at my local village flower shop. Amanzing how prices vary!
I do find it amazing how plants we know in the US are the same in so many other countries. But then we do get our plants from these other tropical countries
Hey. The last alocasia is not alocasia 'Sarian', it's alocasia lauterbachiana. :)
Thanks for the correction Marco!! Not the first or last time I’m wrong haha. Cheers friend!
Fast forward to August and I’m on waitlists to pay $90 and up for a three leaf rooted cutting of monstera sp. Peru
The nearer the Netherlands are, the cheaper the plants are.
Except Cacti, they’re coming from Italy.
But it’s hard to get interesting Hoyas here.
They’re not common. Don’t know why🤷🏼♀️
Gee. Jimmy it would be nice to move by Oscar huh ! Sure love their prices Too......
I would have spent $200 or more..love plants
A lot of the plants you got excited about aren't as available (or so far at all) in the rest of Europe. I can only hope to run into a clarinervium randomly! 😄
Yeah there seems to be a wider deviation within Europe than I thought. I’ll try to visit more often and do more similar videos.
@@LegendsOfMonstera lots of beautiful botanical gardena to see as well :) but thank you for giving us a peek into what's available in Sweden!
That Alocasia you called Sarian is actually Alocasia Lauterbachiana. The Sarian has different leaves and white lines😊 great video man really enjoyed watching it
Thanks man! I’m sure I’ll mix up a lot of plant names in the future lol. Thanks for tuning in!
Wow Wow Wow! What was the corkscrew type tree? So cool. Thanks for sharing! Have a great day!🍃💜🌴
I'm not really sure. Probably should take a snapshot and post on social media. I'm really bad with plant names lol. Cheers!
my jaw dropped at the prices of the cuprea and anthuriums
Another reason to move to Europe!
Beautiful Plants! Great GOD IS GREAT!Amen!🌹
14:15 Those are Strelitzia reginae not nicolai
The prices I'm crying
Please hydrate to replenish fluids 😎
Would be nice to raid those shops! Those are amazing prices!
How do they sustain all these plants in their shops? Are Swedish consumers buying all those plants or do they export most of these plants throughout the EU? Do you think that we will eventually have similar shops and prices as more independent growers expand or will most growers maintain only an online presence? Costa Farms has started selling Calathea Musaica, ZZ Raven, Monstera Adasonii and Begonia Maculata Wightii in big box stores for $18. I think this is great as more people will have access.
This is so interesting because being from the Northeast my experience is different than yours too so it is like getting multiple perspectives. We grow our BOPs inside.😁
I honestly have no idea. I suspect they have corporations similar to costa farms and these plants that are uncommon to us are readily available in their supply chain. I suspect our plant selection in the US will improve but there will always be some differences.
I thought us custom does not allow bringing plants from abroad. How did it work for you?
Been waiting for this. 😀 Amazing plants at unreal prices. I was hoping you brought that Standleyana home with you!! Lol
Haha, I'm just happy to take home enough youtube footage when I travel lol
Legends Of Monstera Love the footage in this trip!! 😀
It is amazing how much plants cost in the US!!
great comparison. New friend Ruthie
Here in Finland raven zz's and begonia maculata are really really really common
I think they’ll get common in the US by next year. Cheers!
@@LegendsOfMonstera ooh, that's exciting
I love common and easy to care for plants. Sansevieria, syngoniums, monsteras, ficuses, scindapsus... you are all welcome in my home. Who cares, you are gorgeous
Wow.. this crazy! I just bought a clarinervium for $100 and people get to buy them for $25 there, wow! I wonder why they're so much cheaper there 🤔
I’m not really sure about this myself. Maybe some of the plants we consider common and cheap here are more expensive over there? Not really sure.
Loved this video, and loved that plant store. I hope we get a store like that in the UK. Are those plants imported from the Netherlands? I got a Monstera Adansonii round form similar size to those you showed for £8 here in the UK and there were a lot in baskets.
My impression is that a lot of tissue cultured and mass produced plants come from the Netherlands but I'm not sure.
This was nice. Did you bring any home?
I did not. I really don't buy plants when I travel.
Whether it's fashion, food, apartments or now plants...it really does feel like Europeans get the lion's share of affordable nice things.
What an interesting comparison between US and Europe plant costs! Was that a whale fin sansevieria plant at the 13:38 mark? It was a quick scan. LOL
Lol that was such a quick scan. Don’t know what it is. We definitely did not appreciate it at all lol
@@LegendsOfMonstera LOL Looks like a taller and sometimes wider version of the mother-in-law's tongue/snake plant. LOL
I got a Peru in bc canada at a garden center last summer 2x the size of that one for $20...they had many. So weird how things are so different everywhere.
Yeah, it's fun and surprising to see what's considered rare and uncommon, and what's considered expensive and cheap haha
So the Monstera standleyana 'Variegata'....isnt that a Philodendron 'Cobra'....? Does anybody know the difference?
Ohh an BTW I paid for the same size 19 €!!!
The "cobra" seems to be the nickname some places/sellers use. The standleyana is the scientific name.
This video hurt my rare and expensive plant collecting soul
They actually had zebrina’s at Home Depot in Alhambra last time I went
Devdariani Saba it was a few months ago. I saw it in an arrangement outside. It stopped me in my tracks, it was so beautiful.
I heard about this a few months ago; a few box stores had them in Socal. Didn't last long and I don't think they came back.
Wow, the Anthurium clarinervium?!? 🙀
They are quite common in Europe. In the Netherlands you get two plants in a pot for the same price shown here.
Oeps the plants in the Netherlands are 1/2 off the price of the Swedisch ....
Well, I neeed to move ASAP. Because this is unreal.
Hey I follow that guy on insta!
13 dollars a monstera??? I get them by 50 cents in Mexico
Erick Garcia what part of Mexico ?
@@956lizz Xochimilco, Mexico city
Wow 50 cents for anything seems insane lol
Plant prices have become ridiculous in the US
Agreed. I'm sure it'll be better this year though. Cheers!
This hurts my feelings and my wallet. Fuck I need to import more plants
*cries in canadian plant prices*
