I once bought one from my local garden center for $4.99 and I literally learned the next day that they won’t propagate. That was back in august and I still have it.
Thanks! I saw these at my local greenhouse last week and almost bought one. I assumed they would propagate like a succulent. I'm glad I didn't get one.
I found one at a local greenhouse with a stem and new leaves! I usually don't waste money on those single leaves jut when I found one with actual growth, I had to grab it. I paid $15 for it
I bought a couple but I waited until they were on sale after Valentine's Day. The local Co-op had some in and I was jonesing for anything Hoya (not much plant selection in Yellowknife). I had seen the "Heart Hoya" warning before I bought, but it was still too cold to order anything on line and I really wanted some new green things in my house. Before V-day they were $12.99, I got them for $4.99 each (the little ceramic cache pot was worth almost that much) 3 out of 4 are still alive. They don't compare to the Hoya Kerrii "verigata" I got from you this past fall (hurry up spring I need more plants). It's good that you are letting people know that these are just leaves, and not plants that grow. If you know what you are actually buying it's an informed decision, if you don't know then it's a scam and you have every right to be angry. I've told others that have looked at the heart leaves and let them know that they are just getting a leaf and not a plant that will grow.
Hey Christy, Glad your plants are doing well! your second paragraph somes it up perfectly. If you know it won't grow and your choose to purchase it isn't a scam !
Omg thank you for making this video!!!! I own a variegated Kerri (with a stem and multiple leaves) and love it. I now avoid purchasing plants from anyone who sells these. I have however needed to educate some individuals with flower shops who are getting into selling plants the truth about these and they had no clue.
I feel ya on this one!! I got one online thinking it would be multiple leaves for it to turn up being one leaf… it does have some stem but I’ve had it for over a year and have not seen any new growth! I bought one this year for the same price with 5 leaves on it from a different supplier. I did complain at the time and I could have sent it back but they wanted me to pay for postage! And have since changed their website because it was very misleading. Your poor wife and everyone else that gets scammed! It makes me angry too 😅 who could sell someone a LEAF that never becomes a plant!
I bought one last year at the end of summer! 😢 It was sold to me as a plant! That leaf sat there on a table with bright, indirect light & was front and center for months! When I found out the truth about it this summer, I was livid! It STILL makes me mad! I'm sorry for all of us who have fallen for this & other scams! Take care and have a very Merry Christmas! 🎅🎄🔔☃️
I saw one sold by a local greenhouse that did have a little clump of pointy leaves peeking out next to the base. They must have done theirs with enough plant tissue to actually grow.
I've seen so many of these in my local nurseries and it makes me so mad too! Half of them are usually already bought too, probably by buyers who aren't aware that they won't grow!!
So can you show us a valentine plant that has the other part of the plant you mentioned that it should have in order for it to grow and multiply. Thank you for the great info on this scam.
@@BradsGreenhouse basically a grower was treating philodendrons with ethylene to force the pink variegation, which eventually fades to green. Basically after you buy it, it will never grow another pink leaf. Kinda reminds me of the "blue" phalaenopsis orchids they sell.
This needs to be stopped, thanks for the PSA. I might have went for it actually if I hadn't seen this video. I've been wanting to add one to my collection.
Hoya kerrii has been on the very top of my planticorn list ever since I started getting into plants. Last year I found one on valentine's day and even though I already knew these would probably never become an actual plant, I did get one, because there's a very very very sliiiim chance they might grow, a friend of mine was lucky enough to have one big plant from that cutting. I'll never get another one though, maybe one day I'll be able to find a plant... Have a wonderful day!! 😊
Thanks for the video, one of my local garden centers as recently got them in. I have a sneaky suspicion, that they saw it on a list. This is the first time that they've ever had this particular item in stock.
To be honest i used to work at a nursery and we sold these and each time a customer was checking out I would ingorm them that the leaf will.not grow into a full plant before they buy it and wast their money, but i would like to also comment that even the some employees who worked there did not have knowledge of this.
Like the videos says, we still lost money. My wife was very upset, she tracked them down online and thought she was getting me this awesome gift and then once we found out they wouldn't it was kind of like a slap in the face every time we looked at them.
Thanks for sharing this. I haven't seen anything like this selling in my local grocery store, but...yeah.....you are absolutely right! They are for sale online and they are not cheap!!!
Yeah this really pisses me off too. People buying Hoya kerrii need to buy an established vining plant, not these leaves. Ranks right up there with Ebay scammers selling "orchid seeds" which are not orchid seeds at all. Scammers suck.
Hi Brad I actually have 2 leaves like that of hoya Kerii and I got it from my partner same time you got it from you're wife. Good thing he paid only 2€ for them. They are just 2 leaves and they do not grow but just there. I still didn't give up hope that maybe something grow out of them but not expecting to much.Thank you for you're videos always interesting and educational.
Never fallen for it but it's definitely wrong that major stores sell them. Maybe they don't even know. They should stop so the distributors get the message. I got sick of going on ebay and seeing Chinese sellers selling 100 A. titanum seeds for like $5. No one has that many seeds unless they had the plant flower and then you need two. All the photos are stolen from botanical gardens and not their own. If someone had that many real seeds they would not sell them so cheap. All these obvious signs but most people don't know. Oh and the recolored photos too. So I ordered one just to mess with the scammer. Sure enough it was 100 lettuce seeds or some other leaf crop. I reported her and gave negative feed back and boy was she crying. She refunded me then asked I retract my feedback. Ha, no way it's there to warn others now.
Good for you!! Too many scammers on eBay. I saw one the other day: 20 White Knight philo seeds for 17$. The white in that plant is not in the seed, it comes from propagation just like the Monstera, but they sure will sell them as such.
@@sherryporsch9349 Thanks. Oh man. I really get so annoyed at these scammers. The other thing to tip you off is they have hundreds if not thousands of listings. How could they possibly have so many of each rare plant of the world? But average people don't think this way. I check the other listings and if I see tons of other unrelated plants I steer clear.
I know im so late to this and you probably wont see this question but what are your thoughts on the product PlantR? RUclips has been advertising these planters for me for a while and i honestly can't figure out if they are a scam or not. 🤨
So are these actually just a leaf off a Hoya plant? I went on a Hoya collecting spree a few years back, luckily never came across these though as I definitely would have snapped it up since it has Hoya in the name..
I actually bought one at my local green house. Your video came out about a month to late for me. Sad it won't grow. Thank you. Glad to see you Maki g more videos.
i bought the same plant for my wife for her birthday from a local garden shop and i think the shop was selling them with out knowingly or ill intent, in fact i think shop might fell for the scam as i know they order most of their plants online
Thank you very much for this information. Are these Hoyas sold in big box stores? Report these to Store Managers and they will be snatched off the shelfs so fast, at least here in Alabama.
when my wife, got them online it was from an actual plant retailer, they should have known better. I am now seeing them everywhere including box stores
I hadn't come across this in the UK but just looked on eBay and they are everywhere, the first one I saw was £13.79 for the leaf in the pot, plus £40.31 for the p&p from the USA, that's about $78 in total, although most are around £8.25 from the UK. The UK ones are listed as "This is distinctive heart shaped plant which will keep its shape through its life..." which gets them around the law because they're not claiming the plant will grow! Grrrrr...
I think that h there is a place for these for people who want something natural that will last longer than cut flowers, but aren't really willing to do what it takes to keep a plant happy and healthy.
Not sure if this is normal or not, but bought 3 leaf cuttings almost a year ago, and it sat there an did nothing for months. Then all the sudden it started pushing out a vine an new leaf, an 3 more leaves coming!! I didn’t think it would ever grow. 😀
Yes brad you EXPOSE the truth I’ve luckily always known they couldn’t ever grow , Hoya Kerrii they belong on a vine not a single leaf very good video 😃😃
It is not a scam. :/ If you ask the seller of these plants, they should tell you that they are called a zombie leaf. They are alive but not a propagation that will support a new plant, there is probably no growth points attached to it. If there happens to be a growth point under the soil there is a small chance that it will grow a small extension, but the chance is very slim. Again, not a scam, you just need to be informed.
Hi Brad, great show! Tom here in Santa Monica California, I have a collection of about 20 or so Draculas. Long story short after about 4 years or so of growing them I’ve decided to give them to someone, like yourself, that lives in a more Dracula friendly environment. The weather here is just to warm to grow them. I had them in a controlled cool box and they flourished for several years but other plants took president. You don’t have to keep them but you probable have friends up there who would like them. I believe you are in Canada so not sure about the import. I have a robeldurm that really deserves to live. First off let me know if your interested and we will work on the details. I can send you my email if you can delete it afterwards. I don’t want it out there for everyone to start asking me for plants. Tom
Luckily I never fell for this, it looked suspect to me. That and the price of one leaf..,.not for me. Thank you for sharing this with everyone....very important information to share!!!!!
I've seen them in my local garden center and they always cost *more* than Hoya carnosa and hindu ropes that come three cuttings (multiple leaves) in a pot...I think the garden center is getting scammed too TBH😢. I imagine you've gotten a full plant of Hoya Kerii by now. A leaf was knocked off my carnosa so I stuck it in moss in a ceramic pot, it has been in there almost 2 years and just turned yellow last week LOL (how timely) but the roots are still firmly ingrained in the pot! All this is to say I thought I'd killed it as it only was watered after I was caught up on watering everything else...that one was an accident anyway, if I do it on purpose I'll make sure there are some nodes! Thanks for sharing!
Sorry, Brad, u r WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. The biggest plant scam is the seeds u can buy on Amazon or eBay that will grow orchids that have flowers that look like monkey faces. I bit and only lost $2 and grew some interesting 10" tall thin things that looked like the grass that grows in my front yard. I have no idea what was growing and after about 2 years or so, I let the things die.
@@zay_rat8942 I have some beautiful Guava tress/bushes growing in my garden that I bought on Amazon, got these little seedlings about 8 inches tall, and now they are about 3 feet tall.
what a SCAM! I saw that at local Nurseries around here, I though they were so cute, although I did NOT purchase them for one reason, I would Love to have one, but as a real vine and not just a leaflet like that, but I DID NOT know that the leaflet won't grow to be a vine. Am I glad I did not waste my money on it, and they're not cheap either for a single leaflet.
The whole point of having them is because it's a cute little heart. If it could grow it wouldn't be a cute little single heart anymore. Kind of on the same line as a dozen roses. You know they won't grow and will eventually die. It's not marketed to grow into a big plant. It's marketed as a single cute heart.
I work at a nursery and as much as I dislike these people request them over and over. We tell them it will stay one leaf and never grow into a plant but people want them like that. They are $10 normal or $12 variegated. Wouldn’t call that a scam.

I’m glad you let us know it won’t produce plantlets and will just end up dying. What a waste. What a scam.
your welcome!
I once bought one from my local garden center for $4.99 and I literally learned the next day that they won’t propagate. That was back in august and I still have it.
That’s kind of the way I found out about the ones I got as well. It was like the next day 🤦🏼♂️
When I was getting into carnivorous plants I bought so much fake seeds not knowing it like blue flytraps🤦
I'm with you. It makes me really mad, what a waste of a plant!
Thanks! I saw these at my local greenhouse last week and almost bought one. I assumed they would propagate like a succulent. I'm glad I didn't get one.
I thought the same at first, at least you didn't waste your money
I found one at a local greenhouse with a stem and new leaves! I usually don't waste money on those single leaves jut when I found one with actual growth, I had to grab it. I paid $15 for it

dam thats to bad. happy a merry christmas!
Lol gotta laugh at this. I've been scammed but on other things not plants. So funny.
I saw these at a pretty reputable conservatory gift shop & they weren’t even rooted 🤦🏻♀️
I think the ones i saw in the video were hardly rooted either
I saw one sold by a local greenhouse that did have a little clump of pointy leaves peeking out next to the base. They must have done theirs with enough plant tissue to actually grow.
I just bought one today, and I am happy with it. I like it like that. I hope it lasts a long time.
I see these at otherwise legitimate plant stores which is frustrating and upsetting.
I am sorry about tthe scam,that's terrible. Brad can you tell me why my oncidium has root up to the top and every cane what can I do.thank you.
I've seen so many of these in my local nurseries and it makes me so mad too! Half of them are usually already bought too, probably by buyers who aren't aware that they won't grow!!
Mine just grew a node with two leaves. I was told I’m the luckiest person ever. Happy to share a pic. 💚
I am sorry to hear that..i cant buy anything coming from outside of the state of Hawaii. I will stay with local garden store in the island.
That's probably a good idea, thanks for watching
Thanks for the advice!
So can you show us a valentine plant that has the other part of the plant you mentioned that it should have in order for it to grow and multiply. Thank you for the great info on this scam.
Yes, I've seen these and have heard the same thing .... they won't grow!!! What a waste of people's money .....
Many of these are for sale in supermarkets here in England.
Thanks for the tip.
Wow, kinda reminds me of that Philodendron Pink Congo scam a while back .... :(
oh yeah? I'll have to look it up

I hadn't come across this in the UK but just looked on eBay and they are everywhere, the first one I saw was £13.79 for the leaf in the pot, plus £40.31 for the p&p from the USA, that's about $78 in total, although most are around £8.25 from the UK. The UK ones are listed as "This is distinctive heart shaped plant which will keep its shape through its life..." which gets them around the law because they're not claiming the plant will grow!

crazy!

sir pedroza Thanks!
I think that h there is a place for these for people who want something natural that will last longer than cut flowers, but aren't really willing to do what it takes to keep a plant happy and healthy.
yes maybe
Thanks for the information... They sell it on line here in Philippines.
yes, everywhere i think
Oh man!!! I fell for that once as well. Definitely a rlly messed up scam.
yes, I hear you!
Not sure if this is normal or not, but bought 3 leaf cuttings almost a year ago, and it sat there an did nothing for months. Then all the sudden it started pushing out a vine an new leaf, an 3 more leaves coming!! I didn’t think it would ever grow. 😀
Yes, that’s normal, sounds like you bought a few nodes of an actual plant. Not just the leaf
that is so infuriating thank you for the heads up
your welcome!
How do you know your getting a whole plant not a leaf?
it will have a stem and at least one node, not just a leaf stuck in a pot
@@BradsGreenhouse ok awesome because I was just think about getting into Hoyas and this would have been something I may have fell for! THANK YOU!
My friend's one started to vine recently, I agree it's deceptive but it's not impossible for it to form a growth
Do you explain on any other video on how to get this type of plant that grows?
Just have to buy one with a stem and at least one node. not just a leaf
Ah, ty.
That is the ugliest plant I’ve seen...I’d never purchase that
scammer got scam...imagine the irony...lmao...

haha very!!😆
No, he’s saying you get the one leaf an it will never grow accept old an dye.
Hi Brad, great show! Tom here in Santa Monica California, I have a collection of about 20 or so Draculas. Long story short after about 4 years or so of growing them I’ve decided to give them to someone, like yourself, that lives in a more Dracula friendly environment. The weather here is just to warm to grow them. I had them in a controlled cool box and they flourished for several years but other plants took president. You don’t have to keep them but you probable have friends up there who would like them. I believe you are in Canada so not sure about the import. I have a robeldurm that really deserves to live. First off let me know if your interested and we will work on the details. I can send you my email if you can delete it afterwards. I don’t want it out there for everyone to start asking me for plants.
Tom
Yes was for sale in U.K. suppermarkets this years for valentine day ,hope no one bought 1
Yes, it used to be just Valentines here to but now they are everywhere
Sometimes there's a growing point on them, at least here in spain. But yeah, it's not always like that at all.
Thank you, I did see that junk on the internet , but I didn't like that there was no vine to it and that's what a Hoya is a vining plant.
yes correct
I had One that grew så it must have had a bit of a stem left. I was just lucky
lucky!
Luckily I never fell for this, it looked suspect to me. That and the price of one leaf..,.not for me. Thank you for sharing this with everyone....very important information to share!!!!!
thanks!
first time i heard brad swear. 1:26
Also hi brad, I’m also a brad who likes plants
Great Name!
They even try sell them in Australia
everywhere I guess!
Actually after watching I went out and got one. I just want the heart shape leaf. I think it's cute.
do a video on "blue VFT or Pink Nepenthes seeds"
I fell For it 😒..damn it
Wow!
yup!
Why do people do stuff like that? ☹️
im not sure... because they sell?

Sorry, Brad, u r WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. The biggest plant scam is the seeds u can buy on Amazon or eBay that will grow orchids that have flowers that look like monkey faces. I bit and only lost $2 and grew some interesting 10" tall thin things that looked like the grass that grows in my front yard. I have no idea what was growing and after about 2 years or so, I let the things die.
Is it really tho, I feel like most people would know to not buy from eBay and Amazon plants (some people actually give them but majority don’t)
@@zay_rat8942 I have some beautiful Guava tress/bushes growing in my garden that I bought on Amazon, got these little seedlings about 8 inches tall, and now they are about 3 feet tall.
@@susanp102 nice, I mainly meant seeds and not actual plants but still pretty nice
what a SCAM! I saw that at local Nurseries around here, I though they were so cute, although I did NOT purchase them for one reason, I would Love to have one, but as a real vine and not just a leaflet like that, but I DID NOT know that the leaflet won't grow to be a vine. Am I glad I did not waste my money on it, and they're not cheap either for a single leaflet.
Chinda Brendel I agree not cheap😊
Sad :(
yes :(
The whole point of having them is because it's a cute little heart. If it could grow it wouldn't be a cute little single heart anymore. Kind of on the same line as a dozen roses. You know they won't grow and will eventually die. It's not marketed to grow into a big plant. It's marketed as a single cute heart.
I work at a nursery and as much as I dislike these people request them over and over. We tell them it will stay one leaf and never grow into a plant but people want them like that. They are $10 normal or $12 variegated. Wouldn’t call that a scam.
that's good to hear you do that, but it still sounds like most of the people commenting are surprised and unknowing of there purchase
