I just bought a Domino last week. I was about to cry! I knew the one in her pic was a picasso tho. Which, WAS going to be my next sought after plant until I just watched this video. I dont want to waste my money. I already have an all green one and it is so healthy and full and lush. I love Peace Lillies.
Lol. I just bought the picasso kind. Might be doomed. But I did find it cheaper than a cut flowers so, not big risk. Here's to hoping she stays pretty for a while.
Hey Kaylee, I hope someone from your team reads this. The most wonderful thing about this video is that you're being honest about plants that could still potentially drop in your shop and this video is not from a business POV at all. Just good good GOOD love for plants. You also tackle the accusations made against you here, especially the one that you are actually making certain plants seem more pricey. I, on the other hand, think that you're fighting the good fight by calling a spade a spade, calling out what needs to be called out and carrying on with your own life, as a plant person and a businesswoman. More power to you!
Yup. Thats how it is. Domino is like speckles and the variegation are stable af. Even in lower light, mine still keep its variegation but if you put it in brighter light(no direct sunlight tho), the variegation will come out with chunk of white or even halfmoon or full white leaf. Domino, I say this again, wont revert. Only the other one will revert. Trust me! I have both of em!
@@amiacumbee5123 I´ve seen very often in PPP that it grows not variegated leaves and then a variegated leaf shows up :) And I also observed in so many plants that when you buy one, first leaves after import may be smaller, less or not variegated (depends on the species you buy) or they have even weird shape of the leaf. I think it happens because of the stress during import. But when the plant acclimates to your conditions and you will have proper humidity in the room and enough indirect sunlight, the plant will thrive
Burle Marx Variegated can also revert quickly. I have cut off about ten plants worth of green growth. Since cutting off 90% of the roots and regrowing; so far so good. Great video as always💚💚❤️❤️💚💚
Love your channel! Plant scientist here. When discussing variegation reversion, I think it would be beneficial to touch on how light is integral to maintaining variegation and how that plays into this subject. 🙂 I think it’s so important and often overlooked.
I appreciate this comment. I’ve seen other RUclipsrs state as fact that light has nothing to do with maintaining variegation. I’ve been dubious about that claim. But my experience is limited to my P. Brazil. When it was in low light, it put out nearly solid dark green leaves, some vines fully reverted. I moved it outside last summer where it got bright light with some direct sun, it started producing strong variegation. Some leaves were almost entirely chartreuse with partial dark green leaf borders Onlyplants recent video on the albo monstera is quite instructive on the topic
My Philo.Domesticum Variegated doesn’t care about the light I think😣 I placed it in front of my south window that got direct light, in the morning. Cut it back but only the 3 of its first leaves got variegation, the rest is just green. From what I see, if the new growth popping from the part that doesn't have the variegation lines(I don’t know what it calls😅) it will not have variegation. And so to the next leaves and it just lost🤦🏻♀️
@@plantsfrenzy I have not done my thorough research on this but gardens in my place usually suggest that once a plant sports a purely unvariegated leaf, you have it immediately cut it. It somehow "trains" the plant to not produce more of the same leaf. I've done this with my picasso alternately. Once a new leaf comes out, I cut the purely green ones.
This is only true for certain species and certain types of mutations However. Generally, light is a determining factor in the yield of variegation only about 10% of the time. Soil ph, growing conditions, light intensity, hours of sunlight, and soil nutrients play a much higher role
My Florida ghost “mint” reverted which no surprise, Kaylee already did a video on that! 😛 my Variegated Burle Marx has also reverted, which really bums me out, I took a cutting of a solid variegated leaf for my friend, I hope it stays for her! And I killed my variegated alocasia so it didn’t even had a chance to revert 😂🤣😭
The spathiphylum Domino is stable and has rough textured leaves, with the same variegation at the Thai Constellation. I think you may be thinking of the diamond variegated one or another with smooth,glossy leaves :) *EDIT : 2 mins later you corrected yourself. I have a Domino and would be happy to send you one or two of its offshoots! Based in UK so should be easy, just let me know if you’re interested and I’ll gladly gift it
My variegated Alocasia Odora lost variegation almost immediately after like a month, but it recently returned out of no where 6 months later. It’s not like stunning variegation, but variegation none the less I guess lol
How funny. I was just going to say that my Alocasia Odora has never lost it’s variegation. It’s bulbs/pups it produces are hit or miss on variegation however. Interesting to know the mother plant can be unstable.
I had a reverted ppp with 6 nodes, chopped it up, and every node with the exception of one has produced variegation despite none of them having that variegation on the stem. Even got a half moon baby 🥺🙂
I’d really love to see a plant tour from your home! Even if there isn’t a lot at all because they’re all that the shop, I’d love to see what you’ve picked to keep at home and why!!
I have a variegated Alocasia Zebrina that gives me one great white variegated leaf after another, also my variegated macrorrhiza seems to be stable I have it since 1,5 years now and all is fine.
It does not go unnoticed that the Living Wall has gorgeous big green leaves, with almost no variegated ones! Love those big gorgeous veins that seem to glow! They never disappoint 💚
Just wait till you find a random sport, so you don't have to pay a ton extra and it won't be tragic when/if they revert. I've found a few sport pollies, and just found a dragon scale with some pretty neon splashes. They may not last, but they're cute and fun to look for.
oh by the way ive been finding sellers from indo and thailand trying to sell pink congo again on etsy and ebay, I check the description and they say nothing about what it really is, and they are charging over a 100 too, a lot of people watching the listing like they don't know that its chemically induced..but I guess buyer beware?? :/
I have 2 PPPs and I recently bought a congo out of sheer curiosity. I know what I'm getting as far as the chemical treatment and high potential reverting etc. But I think it's still good looking despite. So I'm curious to see it in person.
PPP - I have one that I bought about 2 years ago - it never had much variegation and I chopped it up in the end to sell and give away to people who wanted a PPP but couldn't afford to buy any,, while keeping the top cutting for myself. Well, I never got round to selling one of my cuttings - the leaf had a thin stripe of pink about 1cm long and about 1mm wide. I popped it in a prop box to forget about. The resulting new growth has ONLY pushed out leaves with exactly 1/4 of the leaf being pink. No more, no less. It's on leaf 4 now and the leaves are getting larger, and so is the chunk of pink on every new leaf as the proportion of pink still remains 25% of each leaf's size. It's stunning to look at and I have no bloody idea how or why it's doing it, but I now don't want to sell it despite knowing I could probably make a decent amount of money on it.... It's a beautiful, confusing mess of a success story and I love it. I'm considering naming it Margaret. The top cutting, however, hasn't pushed out pink in 2 leaves so I am considering chopping again this spring. I doubt any future cuttings will be as successful as Margaret but who knows.
I’ve never really had a problem with lack of variegation in the Pink Princess I sell, I keep them under bright light, that is probably why some people are having problems being a lack of, I find that the variegation has been pretty stable and uniform with the occasional all pink leaf, I don’t cut them either.
I've had my Pink Princess for at least five years. I occasionally get an all pink leaf; so what! that does not make the plant any less beautiful. I am in the tropics, and my plants are on a verandah, with temps never below 75 degrees. Maybe that's my success. Plus I treat my plants like living things, and nature is not perfect. If the plant is all pink or all green, so be it. Only artificial plants stay perfect.
@@patriciabeharry7473 The issue if the plant goes all pink, it can't photosynthesise properly as it needs some green to for this to be effective. It will look pretty, but it won't last long so it's not sustainable for the plant to do this.
Yes, I realize this, I grow them for retail, what I’m saying is I’ve never had any go totally pink, occasionally they will put out 1 to 2 pink leaves but they grow out of it, The variegation on them is stable but it’s not predictable that’s what she should be saying.
I have an Alocasia Odora Variegata that I got a year and 1/2 ago. I got it as a small plant, and it is now huge, potted outside in Florida. The leaves are beautifully variegated and it has never produce an all white, nor an all green leaf. I have always been nuts for variegation, but, years ago, just starting out, I didn't know anything about it. I had an albo syngonium growing up my house, and every leaf was variegated. I moved and took a cutting with me, planting it under a huge tree, expecting a huge variegated plant that would climb my tree. The plant took off, but all the variegation disappeared. I had to go on a hunt, taking cuttings or digging up shoots, if I saw the slightest streak. I was able to get my variegated syngonium back, now having several beautiful plants. But, I am vigilant in removing non-variegated parts. My lesson is that it is better to have a nice pot of beautifully variegated syngonium, rather than to let it do its own thing, which will cause it to revert.
Always love your videos💕 Love from Japan! OMG a Philo Spiritus Sancti was on auction and the final price was 1060,000 Yen (10123.94 $) People are crazy〜😱😱😱
I have 7 pink princesses. Three of them are real burgundy pinks, they keep the burgundy/black leaf color with a bit of dark green. They produce pink maybe about 30 %. But I have one that is more marbled. It produces constant pink/green/white leaves . It is the most stable of them. I have done a bottom cut as well as a top and again the variegation is very consistent. Not ad much large splashes of pink but more marbled all over the leaf.
My pink princess has great variegation! It’s a more dappled than half moon type. It responds really well to warmth and bright light and keeps putting out more and more beautiful leaves.🌿🍃🌱
Me (an invisalign wearer for +1 year) over here wondering how you can pronounce your "S" so easily after just a few weeks! You're rocking this invisalign! Took me ages to not talk with a lisp
I'm officially about to cry, i didn't know Florida Beauty variegation is unstable, I've recently bought 4 baby plants, any suggestion for the fertilizer and light in order to better keep the variegation?
No its not. It reverts all the time. Most albos do. When talking about unstable variegation I’m not talking about the pink Congo where the white just turns green, I’m talking about new leads shooting out all green leaves and then getting lucky many leaves later with some white on it. Most all albos are not stable
Hey Kaylee Ellen, Just have one question My name is robert and I am from Germany A little while ago I bought an alocasia black velvet variegata. In a big box store for 11€. But it reverted. Do you have any advice for me to get it back I am really upset I know that you had talked about on making a video on that but if there’s not enough request for that I understand that. Would love if you can help me Greetings Robert (PS i love your Channel and your accent 🥰🥰)
She has a nursery environment in her shop. Concrete floors, auto watering and only keeps plants long enough to sell. But she's mentioned how long her days are. Crazy hard work
I love your videos so much! I’d never realized the half moon thing, definitely something to watch out for. As a note for the alocasia- I have a gageana aurea that I’ve had for YEARS, it’s given me tons of pups and if they start variegated they stay that way(: I’ve never had one revert on me, and the leaves on three of them are the size of dinner plates haha. It’s the only variegated alocasia that’s done well for me and it’s great! I don’t know if this is the place for it, but I’d be happy to try to give you one if you’d like 😊 never shipped a plant but figured I’d offer!
It's super easy to get the variegation on a Peace Lilly back you just have to cut ALL the old-growth off and snip the roots . it will grow back perfectly.
I experienced that, my neon photos push out a neon leaf with white variegation, some green leaf with neon's spot, a neon leaf with some green. It's a little bit crazy plant but i use to keep her in crazy condition( full sun/ blue grow light/ a pot with no drainage.) This plant have passed through all this condition and still alive, it's my own pet and i joke with her all time and i always was proud of her growth
@@AuDHobby haha thats so cool! i wonder if the light green makes it different than yellow or white as it probably can offer a bit more to the plant than those types of variegation.
First of all - you are GLOWING today and I am obsessed with this look. I'll go back to watching the video now but weird brain wouldn't let me continue without mentioning how absolutely lovely you are
Darn, I just got a syngonium albo, lol. Mine does have a good amount of marbling rather than sectoral. My new leaf has less variegation than the one before it…but the other leaves seem to trade back and forth. I guess after I get my first full green leaf I’ll cut it back to before that one?
How did you create your living wall without having any infrastructure all issues, I’m not necessarily looking for a tutorial I just wanna know how you did it
Because of u im obsesse with rare plant is a awsome way to cope with my depresion since my baby was born sleeping is my new hobby thank you im Obsesse watching you im trying to get cut up with your videos aince the biginning lol
I got a burgundy princess in May of last year. I cut it in the summer, hoping to bring back some variegation. The mother plant has recently put out a nearly half moon leaf and then two more speckled leaves. The propagation has not had any additional pink come in as of yet. I've been thinking of cuttings the leaves with pink and propagating again, but new leaves keep coming before the previous ones harden off so I don't want to cut it...
in indonesia, you can find Alocasia Macro. var on the side of the road, and it will not reverted on you forever😂 well who know what will happen, sometimes it happen, but not always.. just take care of them even when they are reverted🤗
@@riezznaid I live in palu, central sulawesi. there plenty of them before pandemic and before the plant society goes crazy like now. after it goes crazy, I dont even see any of them anymore on the side of the road, even the green one😅
NOOO!!! I have it and it starts to revert 😭😭😭😭 like literally it has 3 leaves now and the last 2 leaves only has ONE variegated strip and its not even white- its mint-y green!! Can anyone give me tips on how to bring back the variegation? I always herd of stem cutting but its alocasia that comes from... umbi? So I dont know 😭😭😭🙏🙏 please help guysss
Thank You Soo Much Kaylee Ellen for your videos and your honesty about the variegation in the plants. I really appreciate you sharing this with us. You just saved me a bunch of 💰. Well, I will still end up spending the money on plants but I dont want to buy plants that will knowingly make me sad at the end of the day. Thank You!
I'm my experience with some of these, I have had no issues with reversion. I keep mine of course in very very bright conditions. Sometimes I get a greener leaf but a more verigated leaf usually comes next. I have Florida beauty, aurea alocasia frydek, albo syngonium. I hope I'm just lucky.
I have a Peace Lily Domino, and the variegation has been stable. I'm not sure how it would be in medium to low light tho, because mine is situated 8 to 10 feet away from a south-facing window.
I never really was a fan of variegated plants or of anthurium as I thought the red flowers look too waxy and unreal. However I saw one at my local garden centre that was reduced from £14.99 to £6. It looked healthy and the flowers were green tinged with a pinkish colour. I bought it and looked up the care instructions. Since then it's stayed healthy and the flowers have got redder but not completely red. There are still green areas on the flowers, and they don't have this artificial 'perfect' look as the red areas are infused with green. I find it very attractive but I've not seen another one like it and it didn't have any words on its label other than anthurium. So I hope it stays as it is. I've no idea why the price was reduced. By the way, the Latin pronunciation of Latin botanical names would be to pronounce 'ae' at the end of words the same as 'I' (capital i). That's not important though.
My albo syngonium just keeps pushing out white leaves. It drives me nuts. I even tried giving it a nitrogen fertilizer, nope, still white. But hey, at least I got it for like 2 dollars.
I've seen it with succulents. There's nothing wrong with wanting a certain look for a party/wedding/whatever, but I wish sellers were more honest so buyers would know what they're really getting.
hi, I write from Italy and I don't understand English very well. a question, how can the variegation of the syngonium variegato be maintained? thank you
Hi kaylee. I have a syngonium fantasy and its about 8 years old. I did cut it up 2 years ago and my problem they have all thrown pure off white leaves. They go brown and die. How do I get it to go green? It was in a shade house. Ive repoted them and put them in more warmth and light. Is it a matter of patience or any other thoughts?
The pink princess it's sooo ugly, cant believe it's worth so much for a "landscape" looking plant... I love pink hue plants but pink princess just grows ugly
I have a variagated alocasia odora pup, and the third leaf came in complely green. I don't see any white on the stem of the green leaf so I feel doubtful that the next leaf will have any variagation either. Should I cut back the green leaf? I'm not sure if I should as it is so young and only has 3 leaves
Not many people have this one, but if you happen to have a variegated Calathea ornata, BE WARNED. That thing is sooooo difficult to maintain variegation on. I love mine, but my god is it stressful to grow.
I have a Pink Princess that I keep cutting because it gets too tall. It has wonderful variegation, but the pink is no longer the baby pink that I love. Rather, it has turned into a dark bubble gum pink!
honestly, i do not really care for varigated plants. i just like the plants. but i DO love just watching your talks, because you just seem like such a decent human being that i almost feel like i'm hanging out with you whenever i watch a video. it's been a tremendous comfort in this weird time of social distancing. (i will say that because of you i wanted, and found, a philodendron billiatiae at my local nursury and i happily bought it. now i can't get enough of how weird it really is. and i don't care that it isn't varigated). it's funny to me that you are really just an internet stranger to me, yet you are more real than many of the people i interact with around here in real life. thanks for all you do. i appreciate you Kaylee Ellen.
Perfect video! Thanks again! *I had a variegated alocasia odora and it seemed to hold it's variegation. Ultimately got eaten to death by spider mites, but it never lost it's variegation. Maybe it's just more stable?
hello kaylee can you please do a video about alocasia that have only stripe stems and kind of stems in alocasia, bec. im so curious why some alocasia called them zebrina that is not.
Me sitting next to my brand new Domino Peace Lilly: *sweats*
“Not domino, I mean the other one!”
“Thank gawd”
You'll love it, my Domino is one of my favorite plants:)
Lol i was looking for one and she almost made me cut this off my list
Same! Mine is really pretty

Ah this eyeliner makes you look so cute💚
Agreed! She looks lovely with the winged eyeliner! ☺️
I think its that there is very little liner on the bottom lid. Its fresh looking.
Was going to say the exact same thing!!!! Also love the way she did her lips 😍

I have 7 pink princesses. Three of them are real burgundy pinks, they keep the burgundy/black leaf color with a bit of dark green. They produce pink maybe about 30 %. But I have one that is more marbled. It produces constant pink/green/white leaves . It is the most stable of them. I have done a bottom cut as well as a top and again the variegation is very consistent. Not ad much large splashes of pink but more marbled all over the leaf.
My pink princess has great variegation! It’s a more dappled than half moon type. It responds really well to warmth and bright light and keeps putting out more and more beautiful leaves.🌿🍃🌱
I'm so glad there's a video on my birthday 🥰😌😅
Happy birthday 🎁🎉🎉
Thx you 🥰
Me (an invisalign wearer for +1 year) over here wondering how you can pronounce your "S" so easily after just a few weeks! You're rocking this invisalign! Took me ages to not talk with a lisp
I'm officially about to cry, i didn't know Florida Beauty variegation is unstable, I've recently bought 4 baby plants, any suggestion for the fertilizer and light in order to better keep the variegation?
Honestly
If they are variegated ones till u chop them they are safe
It’s from mu experience
I just love listening to Kaylee trash the pink congo, anyone else?
Hey Kaylee, amazing as always. Is this still your experience with these?
How about white princess? Is the variegation stable?
No its not. It reverts all the time. Most albos do. When talking about unstable variegation I’m not talking about the pink Congo where the white just turns green, I’m talking about new leads shooting out all green leaves and then getting lucky many leaves later with some white on it. Most all albos are not stable
Wait... I was skimming the video, the videos photo shows a var burle marx, is it discusses?
It wasn't. I have a hard time with that plant. I find its variegation completely unpredictable.
It wasn't. I was waiting for that too. 😩
Ah okay, I was hoping for maybe some tips. It seems like it’s like a PPP where you should chop it up a lot
What is the way to bring variegation back to v. alocasia? Or likely to bring it back?
Hey Kaylee Ellen,
Just have one question
My name is robert and I am from Germany
A little while ago I bought an alocasia black velvet variegata. In a big box store for 11€. But it reverted. Do you have any advice for me to get it back
I am really upset
I know that you had talked about on making a video on that but if there’s not enough request for that I understand that.
Would love if you can help me
Greetings
Robert
(PS i love your Channel and your accent 🥰🥰)
How do you water and keep up with so many plants 😅 I sometimes feel like I struggle with the hundred or so I have 😬
I would be really interested in a video about that!🥰 Like „How I care for 4500 plants“😅
She has a nursery environment in her shop. Concrete floors, auto watering and only keeps plants long enough to sell. But she's mentioned how long her days are. Crazy hard work
@@krystaleverett5197 keeping them only long enough to sell really isn't the case...if you were to see whats in there....
Great video as always 😊 I would like to know more about other plants that can be chemically induced.
Same here! It would be so helpful to know what to be wary of
Thank you so much for this! You saved me at LEAST $600! LOL!
I usually treated my variegated plants with daily morning sunlight, so far they never reverted
So many questions. But how can you get the variegation to return in alocasia, Monstera and P.P.P.???
This! I need answers.
I love your videos so much! I’d never realized the half moon thing, definitely something to watch out for. As a note for the alocasia- I have a gageana aurea that I’ve had for YEARS, it’s given me tons of pups and if they start variegated they stay that way(: I’ve never had one revert on me, and the leaves on three of them are the size of dinner plates haha. It’s the only variegated alocasia that’s done well for me and it’s great! I don’t know if this is the place for it, but I’d be happy to try to give you one if you’d like 😊 never shipped a plant but figured I’d offer!
Glad to know i have at least one of these lol (variegated peace lilly) It has been so good to me so far, mostly variegated than green.
Thank you for discussing the Domino and Picasso Peace Lilies! I have both types and no one ever discusses these.
Kaylee Ellen is the top 1 among all the plant-tubers !!! hell yeah!
greetings from Costa Rica!!
Variegated Philodendron Burle Marx needs to be on this list because it is so finicky!
It's super easy to get the variegation on a Peace Lilly back you just have to cut ALL the old-growth off and snip the roots . it will grow back perfectly.
I experienced that, my neon photos push out a neon leaf with white variegation, some green leaf with neon's spot, a neon leaf with some green. It's a little bit crazy plant but i use to keep her in crazy condition( full sun/ blue grow light/ a pot with no drainage.) This plant have passed through all this condition and still alive, it's my own pet and i joke with her all time and i always was proud of her growth
You teach me so much! I love you girl!💚💚💚
My variegated zebrina is continuing steadily but it's only light green variegation, not yellow or white.
I immediately thought of yours when she mentioned Alocasia!
@@AuDHobby haha thats so cool! i wonder if the light green makes it different than yellow or white as it probably can offer a bit more to the plant than those types of variegation.
First of all - you are GLOWING today and I am obsessed with this look.
I'll go back to watching the video now but weird brain wouldn't let me continue without mentioning how absolutely lovely you are
Why?! She's not even variegated😂😂😂
You look soo beautiful ❤. I Like your makeup, but today its a chef kiss.
I have 3 pink Princess one reverted to mostly green the other to mainly pink. but the last one seems to be a lot more stable at least atm
I will say I have had to cut my Albo syngonium few times because it would start to revert and I was successful it preventing reversion.
How do you cut it if I may ask? Mine just pushed out two green leaves
Darn, I just got a syngonium albo, lol. Mine does have a good amount of marbling rather than sectoral. My new leaf has less variegation than the one before it…but the other leaves seem to trade back and forth. I guess after I get my first full green leaf I’ll cut it back to before that one?
im getting the domino peace lily so💕💕
My Syngonium Albo has been really good and stable in the variegation
i would pay $5 at the most for a pink congo haha
right!
How did you create your living wall without having any infrastructure all issues, I’m not necessarily looking for a tutorial I just wanna know how you did it
Because of u im obsesse with rare plant is a awsome way to cope with my depresion since my baby was born sleeping is my new hobby thank you im Obsesse watching you im trying to get cut up with your videos aince the biginning lol
I got a burgundy princess in May of last year. I cut it in the summer, hoping to bring back some variegation. The mother plant has recently put out a nearly half moon leaf and then two more speckled leaves. The propagation has not had any additional pink come in as of yet.
I've been thinking of cuttings the leaves with pink and propagating again, but new leaves keep coming before the previous ones harden off so I don't want to cut it...
i remember you spoke about philodendron pink congo previously.. and now pink Princess 🥺 why all pinks are reverting 😂😂
Pink Congo is 'scam' and chemicals induced, that's why it reverts easily..
Varigation sham? Oh no..Thanks for the info!
is the sansevieria "star canary" fake like the pink congo?
Nope
@@amandaannamalid7065 oh nice!
Hi 👋🏼 what causes a normal plant go variegated in the first place?
in indonesia, you can find Alocasia Macro. var on the side of the road, and it will not reverted on you forever😂 well who know what will happen, sometimes it happen, but not always.. just take care of them even when they are reverted🤗
Which part of Indonesia is it? Ive never seen one.
@@riezznaid I live in palu, central sulawesi. there plenty of them before pandemic and before the plant society goes crazy like now. after it goes crazy, I dont even see any of them anymore on the side of the road, even the green one😅
people are too greedy sometimes😅
NOOO!!! I have it and it starts to revert 😭😭😭😭 like literally it has 3 leaves now and the last 2 leaves only has ONE variegated strip and its not even white- its mint-y green!! Can anyone give me tips on how to bring back the variegation? I always herd of stem cutting but its alocasia that comes from... umbi? So I dont know 😭😭😭🙏🙏 please help guysss
This almost made me mental breakdance
Verigated string of Pearl's is supposed to be bad too
Thank You Soo Much Kaylee Ellen for your videos and your honesty about the variegation in the plants. I really appreciate you sharing this with us. You just saved me a bunch of 💰. Well, I will still end up spending the money on plants but I dont want to buy plants that will knowingly make me sad at the end of the day. Thank You!
“dirt cheap” is the max I’ll pay for most plants.
I'm my experience with some of these, I have had no issues with reversion. I keep mine of course in very very bright conditions. Sometimes I get a greener leaf but a more verigated leaf usually comes next. I have Florida beauty, aurea alocasia frydek, albo syngonium. I hope I'm just lucky.
How long have you had the alocasia frydek? I just got mine and am so worried it will revert.
Shots fired AGAIN at #10
Thank you so much for your honesty! That’s pretty solid of you to help us not get disappointed and waste our money 💙✌️
I have a Peace Lily Domino, and the variegation has been stable. I'm not sure how it would be in medium to low light tho, because mine is situated 8 to 10 feet away from a south-facing window.
I never really was a fan of variegated plants or of anthurium as I thought the red flowers look too waxy and unreal. However I saw one at my local garden centre that was reduced from £14.99 to £6. It looked healthy and the flowers were green tinged with a pinkish colour. I bought it and looked up the care instructions. Since then it's stayed healthy and the flowers have got redder but not completely red. There are still green areas on the flowers, and they don't have this artificial 'perfect' look as the red areas are infused with green. I find it very attractive but I've not seen another one like it and it didn't have any words on its label other than anthurium. So I hope it stays as it is. I've no idea why the price was reduced. By the way, the Latin pronunciation of Latin botanical names would be to pronounce 'ae' at the end of words the same as 'I' (capital i). That's not important though.
My albo syngonium just keeps pushing out white leaves. It drives me nuts. I even tried giving it a nitrogen fertilizer, nope, still white. But hey, at least I got it for like 2 dollars.
Well now I want to know what other plants have been chemical induced 🤭🤭🤭🤭
Kaylee has done it once again great video😄
Currently I'm curious about the alocasia cuprea "red secret" but that might just be me 👀
I've seen it with succulents. There's nothing wrong with wanting a certain look for a party/wedding/whatever, but I wish sellers were more honest so buyers would know what they're really getting.
hi, I write from Italy and I don't understand English very well. a question, how can the variegation of the syngonium variegato be maintained? thank you
When plants started to grow with no variegation, chop it off, the base plant would give variegation leafs again, easy
Hi! I would like to ask if the reverted (green leaf) cutting of Florida beauty will produce variegation? Or will it be producing green leaf?
Yeap
I have been having definitely that issue since I have propagated my beauty
It’s really happening
I WANNA SEE HER PLANT SHOPPPPPP DO A VIDEO PLSSSSS
Theres a tour at the end of the Behind The Rare Plant Shop Documentary :)
Hi kaylee. I have a syngonium fantasy and its about 8 years old. I did cut it up 2 years ago and my problem they have all thrown pure off white leaves. They go brown and die. How do I get it to go green? It was in a shade house. Ive repoted them and put them in more warmth and light. Is it a matter of patience or any other thoughts?
The pink princess it's sooo ugly, cant believe it's worth so much for a "landscape" looking plant... I love pink hue plants but pink princess just grows ugly
I agree, it has a terrible shape to it
Hi Kaylee , my variegated Burle Marx and variegated Monstera Peru seem to be reverting :(
Great video and thank you.
My Burle Marx reverted too 😭
😫 we are all in the same ship
I have a variagated alocasia odora pup, and the third leaf came in complely green. I don't see any white on the stem of the green leaf so I feel doubtful that the next leaf will have any variagation either. Should I cut back the green leaf? I'm not sure if I should as it is so young and only has 3 leaves
Not many people have this one, but if you happen to have a variegated Calathea ornata, BE WARNED. That thing is sooooo difficult to maintain variegation on. I love mine, but my god is it stressful to grow.
Testify re: variegated alocasia, mine being Mojito, olive drab solid green.
But the philodendron prince of orange gets orange leaves that turn green. Are those real?
Yes it is real. I have two baby plants and they always get orange leafs and turn green after a time :)
@@silke_8422 okay thank you! This is a recent wishlist plant so I was wondering
I just yesterday sent someone to your Dish the Dirt on the Congo!
Welp I am wanting the syngonium albo but it's good to know that it can be saved if it starts to turn
Girl. Alocasia 👏🏻 Okinawa 👏🏻 Silver 👏🏻
Run. Go get it. You’ll love it!!
What about Variegated Burle Marx? How can I avoid it from reverting besides giving it good light?
):
Variegated Philodendron Burle Marx is in my experience super unstable. It will revert at the drop of a hat.
I have a Pink Princess that I keep cutting because it gets too tall. It has wonderful variegation, but the pink is no longer the baby pink that I love. Rather, it has turned into a dark bubble gum pink!
honestly, i do not really care for varigated plants. i just like the plants. but i DO love just watching your talks, because you just seem like such a decent human being that i almost feel like i'm hanging out with you whenever i watch a video. it's been a tremendous comfort in this weird time of social distancing. (i will say that because of you i wanted, and found, a philodendron billiatiae at my local nursury and i happily bought it. now i can't get enough of how weird it really is. and i don't care that it isn't varigated). it's funny to me that you are really just an internet stranger to me, yet you are more real than many of the people i interact with around here in real life. thanks for all you do. i appreciate you Kaylee Ellen.
👁️ needed that heads up on the Billietiae. 🙏🌱💚
My son is 2 and he sees you talk with your hands when we watch your videos (it's not bad, I do it too) and he waves back at you!
Perfect video! Thanks again!
*I had a variegated alocasia odora and it seemed to hold it's variegation. Ultimately got eaten to death by spider mites, but it never lost it's variegation. Maybe it's just more stable?
Please make a video on your tissue culture experiments and how they went!
hello kaylee can you please do a video about alocasia that have only stripe stems and kind of stems in alocasia, bec. im so curious why some alocasia called them zebrina that is not.
