🥰🥰🥰I feel so honored that you think so, thank you so much for this comment!!💐💜 I really appreciate you. Thanks for watching, I hope you have a great planty week!😊🤗💞🌿✨
I envy your finds! Your Pink Princess is gorgeous! Nothing nearly as special, but a few days ago, I bought a Ficus Tineke Ruby at the grocery store, on clearance, for $2.97. I grabbed it up, separated the two plants that were in the pot, and brought one to a plant swap on Friday. It was my first plant swap, but it was really fun to make someone happy with a plant that cost me almost nothing. Thank you for sharing so much knowledge with us!
Based on the points you made about plant names and practical origins and commercial beginnings, etc, what about after Snake plants being called SANSAVERIA for years and years what or who decided that their genus was actually Dracena? Who and why the change of some philodendrons to thaumatophyllm - Xanadu for example? Also, I have a Hilo Beauty that has been called an Alocasia, Colcasia, and a Caladium? Thanks for any and all clarification.
🤩💜 great questions thanks for asking! Most of the reclassifications you see happening in the past few decades is because of genetic sequencing, where scientists sequence a ton of plants and essentially reveal a better understanding of the structure of the family tree they’re looking at. So for dracaena/sansevieria, researchers found that they are genetically much more closely related than they appear despite physical differences. Usually these findings that propose reclassification end up meeting a lot of resistance from expert hobbyists and non-scientist professionals in the industry whose experiential knowledge gives them a different opinion about how the plant should be classified, plus sellers like to use whatever name is best known. Sometimes the problem is deciding where to draw the line between categories like genera/subgenera, like with philodendron/thaumatophyllum, thaums used to be a separate genus originally and then got reclassified as a subgenus of philodendron, and then re reclassified back to it’s own genus, but I believe there is still a lot of disagreement on how to define them exactly. I dont know much about the history of taro classification off the top of my head but I believe with alocasia/colocasia it has to do with genetics as well, and having slightly different flower structures and reproductive incompatibility even though there are instances of hybrids. I hope some of this is helpful! 😊💜 Thanks so much for watching have a great planty week!🌿💞✨
I found monstera thai constellation at my grocery store. I was so excited. All the plants had at least four large leaves. They were only 29.99!!!! I have found some great plants at my grocery store and at deep clearance prices too! Found lots of pink princess at Walmart and both times I've found them in clearance sections. Due to the pots being broken or moving old inventory out. Also found an albo pothos which I've never seen before. So I added it to my cart too. Great video! Love seeing what you find!
Oh nice!! I’ve never seen these at lowes myself, that’s awesome you found them there for a great price too!🤩💜 thanks for watching😊 I hope you have a great week!🌿💞✨
This year I found a huge philodendron moonlight for like $16, and a small painted lady for just ten dollars at my grocery store. And at my local hardware store in the spring I also found a philodendron congo rojo and an prince of orange. It's so fun hunting for special plants in unexpected places!
I was given a PPP in 2020. I put it on a pole and chopped it replanting both in the same pot. It is now approx 36inches and still gets those wonky leaves from time to time. It has continued getting pink on most leaves. Not my favorite plant because the leaf size is small compared to the internodes. The leaves are slowly enlarging though. Also have the white princess because I saw one on the Plant Haven utube channel which was large and very nice. Mine is small and not climbing yet. I have a small white knight which seems to be very slow growing with not much white thought its stems are highly varigated. That one will find a new home, I hope this summer. My husband spent $75 on the PPP which at the time seemed outrageous. Little did we know.
Thank you for another great plant video. I love your breadth of knowledge and how accessible you make it for all of us. I don't have the budget for expensive plant purchases but you make it so relatable. Im going to scope out my local stores too for plant goodies!
My Ralph’s in Palm Springs had those same plants! Shocking. Then two or three weeks later, they had variegated Ring of Fire! I also bought two of each. Now I am checking every week!
I just got the PPP, PWP, PWN AND PWW at my local grocery store also. So excited to see them in there!! Always wanted them but not wanting to spend hundreds of dollars. So glad I waited😊
Those were great buys! I have those plants but when I bought them it was at the height of the plant boom. That was when the were more popular and very expensive
that’s cool you got them earlier on!🤩 I have been wondering if whatever’s being sold under these names now are the same plants that were being sold when they were more rare because I feel like pics I saw of these during the boom a few years ago looked more robust and easier to differentiate than the ones I’ve been seeing for sale online these days.. 🤷♀️ anyways I hope yours are growing well for you!🥰 thanks for watching have a great planty week!!🌿💜✨
the white knight and the white princess are climbers not sure about the white wizard yet love your channel, unexpected find ind a grocery store was a nice verrucosum
Before I became a sahm I worked in fruit and vegetable research. We would often still say vegetable, even to each other, when something was really a fruit because some people would be confused. But the way we would explain it is well some are true vegetables and some are just culinary vegetables.
Good finds. I have the royal court too and the Knight and Wizard are growing up moss poles (fast). The White Princess is also growing on a pole, however, it is not growing very fast. I love these types of philodendrons.
I have a white wizzard, bought it on facebook and was listed as white princess but I was sure it´s a wizzard even before I bought it. Mine has more round leaves than yours, so the leaf looks a bit more like your knight, but it has absolutely no red or pink anywhere. Mine also definitely grows small aerial roots, but it has a very small inter nodal space. I think it looks like a slow climber that will be able to support itself for a long time. I will chop mine in spring and decide later if I give it a stake or moss pole.
I e always wondered how to differentiate between the white princess, white knight and white wizard. So this really helps to see them side by side. I know costa farms has inundated the market with ppp and white knight. I haven’t seen wizard or white princess yet tho. Or maybe thought they were all white knights. Who knows. lol
Most of my plants have come from my grocery stores. I think they intend them for short lived gifts really, but then plantaholics take it to a whole new level...
100% the naming is marketing, but can be neat to have a collection of them. I have a White Knight that has almost gone full dark green, almost like the PPP, and I want to call it a Dark Knight. As far as identifying, the petioles are the first I look at to ID, then the leaves. Red petiole with white sheath, White Knight. All red petiole, PPP. Green petiole with white sheath, White Wizard. Green petiole with pink sheath, White Princess. The White Princess and White Knights can have pink variegation on the leaf, too. It's random, but very beautiful when you get a nice tri-color.
I've heard the reason these are being found so cheap everywhere is because they was a large load that was temperature damaged in shipping and they're pawning them off onto grocery stores. Be aware if some of them don't survive it wasn't you❤
Girl, which grocery store are you shopping at? I live in S. Cal. but I haven't seen them at my local Vons...lol. Though I did find a P. erubecsens for only $12.99 at Vons once and it is still going strong.
Stater Bros! they don’t always have special plants but sometimes it’s amazing 😄🌿 Ooh that erubescens sounds like a nice find!💜 thanks for watching have a great planty week!💞✨
Hey there! I think I remember someone, probably on another channel, said that emerging leaves can be damaged during stress, especially shipping stress and can be damaged. As for what you were saying, My opinion is that during the rare plant craze, somebody had these plants and just took advantage of the boom and started selling them. These plants just don't seem to be all that great, not with reliable variegation. They just don't seem to have a lot of traits that would be desirable to a knowledgeable collector. Have you ever seen a picture of a magnificent mature plant of any of these? I'm willing to bet they don't exist, because these plants are genetically inferior.
Wow! I need to go check out Walmart plants, I’ve never seen much of a selection at the one I go to but maybe i should check others🌿😄 thanks for watching have a great planty week!💜✨
I have had a PPP since 2021 and last spring I chopped it.. Now I have a full pot and it has way more variegation than before.. 🩷I just love the full simple explanation..
I love when you talk about the scientific part of house plants. Thank you for your amazing content!

Hooray! What a deal. I'm seeing them in my Walmart, Lowes, and occasionally Menards stores.

I still call my snake plants sansaveria and you can’t make me call them dracena 😂

She’s a certified horticulturist.😊
@@tessie7e777 ooh!! That makes sense 😎 thanks
Congrats… I love your excitement. That was a really great deal on the pink princess. I got mine at Lowes for 19.99. Tfs

Yess thanks for all the details to be able to know which one is which 😊
I love getting inexpensive plants at grocery stores.😊 I've bought many plants at my local QFC. 🌿🌼🌵💐💚🌱

I come here for the plant etymology and science !!! Thank you !!
Loved this video! Every educational
I love the teacher in you, beautiful 💚❣️
Great grocery plant haul. They are so pretty.
the white knight and the white princess are climbers not sure about the white wizard yet love your channel, unexpected find ind a grocery store was a nice verrucosum
Loved this!!!
Side note... the amount of fruits that are classified as vegetables are crazy
Before I became a sahm I worked in fruit and vegetable research. We would often still say vegetable, even to each other, when something was really a fruit because some people would be confused. But the way we would explain it is well some are true vegetables and some are just culinary vegetables.

Yes! I found a Pink Princess for $26.99 at HEB here in Texas.
Thanks for sharing 😊
I got my pink philadendron at wegmans last year. It was on sale from
40.00 to 18.00 and it’s now 2 ft. Tall and looking beautiful 🙏
I found some at Lowes the other day. I bought my daughter one also.

@@reallybigplant oh thanks. Not one near me but close to a Goodwill in Ventura County when I go thrifting, and I have plans to go Friday.
I just saw a youtube planty video where the white princess pushed out a pink section on one of its leaves 🙃
I found a huge alocasia cuprea red secret for $6 at a Lucky California earlier this year!

I buy great plants at Trader Joe's.
i got a ring of fire the other day for like $20, pretty sweet.
I bought a big boy philodendron yesterday for 4 pounds biggish plant too. Do u have one of these
Do you like in FL? I found them twice at my Home Depot in South FL and yes I bought them.
She lives in California
👍🏽💚💕
I've seen pink princess at Walmart and Lowe's for 20 bucks recently.
Wow! I need to go check out Walmart plants, I’ve never seen much of a selection at the one I go to but maybe i should check others🌿😄 thanks for watching have a great planty week!💜✨
White princess definitely wants to climb. Not self-heading in my experience.
Where did you find your X-men shirt? 😍
I see some air roots. Lol
The one your saying is the white knight looks more like the white princess
U guys think she really likes purple.lol
I have had a PPP since 2021 and last spring I chopped it.. Now I have a full pot and it has way more variegation than before.. 🩷I just love the full simple explanation..
My white Princess and white Knight both want to climb. The Wizard is the only one that is staying lower
