I have the large Monstera and I am so happy about it. I got the cutting for free at a train stop. A woman was carrying the biggest monsters cuttings I have ever seen. I asked her where she got it from and she said from her sister, whom had it for many many years. She offered me one for free and I was sooo happy
The "Philodendron Selloum" is actually Thaumatophyllum Bipinnatifidum! Also commonly called Tree Philodendron and Split Leaf Philodendron, some times even referred to as some sort of Monstera.
I love it also. Out of all the plants I have in my collection, this is the one that people won’t stop talking about. And I get all ranges of comments from okay, interesting to gorgeous.
I actually have 3 of these plant, huh. Our local Chinese restaurant used to have large form deliciosa. It was over 3 m tall, growing on the wall. The restaurant didn't survive the pandemic so I don't know what happened to her... It was way too big to just put in a car, I hope they didn't just throw har away :( btw. I don't know what latin pronunciation would be, but if you're going with the original language (Polish) and botanist's last name "warscewiczi" would be pronounce as var-shae-vee-chee.
i also don’t understand why more people don’t have philodendron goeldii/thaumatophyllum spruceanum!!! i bought mine from a plant store and it was a rooted cutting that only had 3 lobes! it’s been about 8 months and it has grown 3 immature leaves and 2 mature leaves that have 8 and 9 lobes respectively!! it doesn’t need a moss pole in my experience, just a lot of light!! :) absolutely one of my faves. 💚💚
I saw this plant at a local nursery and it stopped me in my tracks. It was so stunning and something I had never seen before. It was being sold as a Philodendron Green Wonder, and I was completely floored when I saw the price was under $20.
Made me laugh with the Monstera large form. Maybe because I'm old, and yes, everyone had one back then. I don't understand why they are so expensive, they're not rare at all!, just HUGE and difficult to handle. Only reason I don't have one is lack of room but they are one of my favourite plants 😍
There aren't a lot of people who can place a smile onto my face, but you have yet to fail... thanks for that. Your enthusiasm always shows in your conversations regarding plants, but when you are genuinely excited about one.... WOW!! You ask if any of these plants make the grade for me, and yes at least half. LOL However two in particular are going onto my "hunt-em-down" list: the Monstera Pinnatipartita (I do like compact) and the style of growth resembles a Vanda Orchid (a personal fave), and the Thaumatophyllum Spruceanum (I am intrigued with the spiral growth). And while you didn't "discuss" it, you are getting full blame for turning me on to the Spiral Ginger... this one will be a must! Gracias de nuevo, Chica !!
If you haven't found the Monstera pinnatipartita try Canopy Plant Company. I've just had one appear at my door today. I've got to say Canopy is the Bestest!
I surprisingly have a bunch of these on your list! I will say, you are showing off the mature specimens of each which is definitely not that you're gonna see available for purchase. In Canada, all these fun philos are entering the market as very juvenile plants, which often times look like a hederaceum and most ppl just don't have the patience to wait for that ontogeny, so that's probably why these get looked over.
I randomly ran into a large form monstera deliciosa in a small plant shop in walking distance from my new apartment last year, for 40 euro. Hadn't seen one before and haven't seen one since, though apparently they're fairly common here in the netherlands/germany. I didn't technically have the money to buy it but here it is in my living room, thriving. Absolutely worth it, I spend so much time just kind of staring at it. It's just opened up it's first leaf with the beginnings of a 3rd row of fenestrations, which I am very excited about.
The subhastatum and dragon have been on my wishlist but I’m trying to limit the growth of collecting. I also like the skeleton key and the anthurium arrow has definitely just made it into my wishlist 💙!
Love how you added P. Warscewiczii! Took me forever to find a green (not yellow one), here in the US, spent $100 to have it shipped to me, but definitely worth having!
Linguist here! Philodendron /var-sheh-VEE-shee-ee/ :) It's named after the capital of Poland! But since we tend to use Latin naming conventions, that's probably where the emphasis would be.
I’ve had a large form monstera outside my house for about 12 years. It climbed all the way to the roof and now covers the whole wall. Recently we repainted the outside of the house and had to take it down though. It made about 1000 cuttings.
I JUUUST picked up a young thaumatophylllum spruceanum! Ive seen them in so many conservatories mature, and I love them. I love starting plants of young and watching them grow and transform. So rewarding and I enjoy the journey! also its super cute at the moment
Are you sure about the Monstera Deliciosa Large Form being so rare? In Germany the small form is much more rare. Basically every plant sold without a pole is a large form, plants already on a pole are small form. You'll find both in every kind of store
I have epi. P. skeleton 🔑. Actually I have a collection of Epipremnum pinnatum 7 of them(blue/mint/aurea/albo/blue var/skeleton key/marble) and I love them. They bring me joy.
Wooo another sponsored video :D glad you pick up the good sponsors and get paiiidddd for pushing out so much nice content for us, Kaylee! Anyways - onwards to the video 🌿
I own and love subhastatum, but it loses its red underside so quickly once it matures in size, climbing up its pole...which is sad for me because the reason why I love it is the red undersides
A common thread going around all these thaumatophyllums (as well as E. skeleton key and Ph. warszewickzii) is that they are like Ph. lupinums and Ph. gigas - they take really long to reach mature form.
I can only speculate but I think the small version of lupinums that looks like a hederaceum is stunted, when people chop up immature philodendrons it creates stunted plants. if anyone has one i am curious as to if they get cataphylls.
i've had the e. sceleton key for half a year, still NO sign of the key shape. i've heard the same from others that have this one, and it don't like humidity, its a real pain in the butt
I have epipremnum skeleton key, it grows really fast but indeed matures slowly. The easiest way to get it to reach sizeable leaves before staking was to keep rounding the vine around the pot. It's not the height that leads to maturity it's development of aerial roots. It is starting to get key-shaped leaves after two rounds around the pot and they are still only one inch long, soon I will put it on a pole. Btw I did the same thing wit E white variegated, after one round around the pot the leaves are already double the size of the mother leaf from the cutting. It also worked for Cebu Blue. The only caveat is that the plant can't be rootbound, it will not mature if the roots are limited because you're adding more and more roots with every node. That's why using a moss pole there is no need to repot so often - the aerial roots develop inside the pole and total root system is actually pretty big even with a small pot.
In its very mature form, the skeleton key does not look like anything close to its juvenile version. The leaf loses its tail. I wanted to buy one, but changed my mind when I saw the mature one
I have the E. Skeleton Key and it's one of my favorites. They are fun shape-shifting plants, easy to grow, and seeing the leaves mature into the skeleton version is really cool. Highly recommended and definitely underrated.
Thank you for mentioning philodendron subhastatum! I've been forever saying that it's way underestimated and I don't understand why people aren't after it. I own one, also a variegata version and they are gor-geous, I'd never give up on them
Great video. you've remind me of what someone once said❤️ "The mind is the man, the poor is in it and the rich is it too". This sentence is the secret of most successful investors. I once attended similar and ever since then i been waxing strong financially, and i most tell you the truth..🥂
I've got the monstera lechleriana and it's verigated form and I gotta say i love them wey more the then adansonnii and deliciosa but I actually just got a young pinnatipartita, loving it so far and can't wait for it to split, and now I'm on the hunt for the subpinatum.
People in the Philippines always go wild over the Monstera Thai Constellation and Albo and other Popular Monstera while the Rare Plant Shop owner is very much proud of her Monstera Pinnatipartita which is so common here in the Philippines. Great. That's why I really love this channel.
Philodendron fuzzy petiole is one of my cheap, not talked about, faves. I’m not talking about squamifarum. It looks like a gloriousum without the veins and it’s CHEAP online. $20 bucks on Etsy cheap. I never see it in big box stores. It grows these large, beautiful, almost velvet looking, pillowy leaves and of course…cute fuzzy/bumpy petioles. Love it.
I picked one up in my local shop but when I got it home I discovered travel damage and all the new leaves coming in were rotten so I’ve had to do the big chop back. Beautiful plant. Gutted that the one I got was in such bad condition! 😭😭😭
The stuck leaves lol im onto mine trying to grow out the third leaf since i got it and this one might make it!!! Two of the older leaves has a couple big splashes of variegation. Anyone else had this pop up in their Fuzzy petiole/ Nangaritense?
you can find large form deliciosas en masse in garden censters in germany and the netherlands for around 50 euro (with already super big leafes). I think you dont see them in collections because they get HUUUUGE. Not everyone has space for them. they are wild :D
The pinnatitipatita and the skeleton key hve been on my list for a while but can only find teeny cuttings. Great selections on those alternate monsteras, they are cool. But I for real am so sick of seeing the adasonii. Some people still have cuttings for thousands that’s madness.
I love the weird plants, skeleton key is honestly quite far up my wishlist it’s so Alien xD golden dragon is one of my faves too have a tiny camo as well
Thank you so much. After watching your video. I searched for this Thaumatophyllum African Fantasy. Managed to get a pot. It was absolutely gorgeous! Loved it so much! Thank you for introducing this plant to me. I really love watching all your videos! Keep posting! Much love…
This is so interesting! In the US in some places the large form monstera is pretty easy to find in big box stores. The small one is obviously more common but locally they were selling MASSIVE (6 foot) monstera del. Large form for $50 😳 the leaves were incredible, I was so sad I didn't have the space😂
It's sometimes wierd how I watch you not because I'm looking for some information about plants but because of your English. I'm an avid English learner and your accent and the way you string sentences just clicks with me so well. Thanks for you vids, really appreciate your effort. I'm also wondering why doesn't any of houseplant youtubers tell any numbers. Put this plant here and there, don't add too much fertilizers, etc. It's so vague and amature. Where are the actual PPFD and PPM values for each species?
Ive seen large form monsteras pop up in a home depot a couple of times and i wish i had the space for one, theyre gorgeous. I also quite like the skeleton key pothos cause it reminds me of an alocasia stingray which i find cute
My local plant shop has some Skeleton keys. They remind me of the Alocasia 'Stingray' which I have. If I had room for it (mature), I would definitely buy one.
Skeleton Key is not a wishlist plant but I'd buy it if I came across it (and it was within my price range). I'm all for weird looking plants though, maybe this is too weird for me? XD I had: 49. Thaumatophyllum spruceanum on the list already I added; 77. Philodendron subhastatum 78. Philodendron warszewiczii 79. Thaumatophyllum 'African Fantasy' 80. Amydrium zippelianum Other weird/uncommon/rare Aroids on the WL is: 68. Alocasia 'Flying Squid' 75. Amorphophallus obscurus
Question for people in the UK: how much does a large form Monstera deliciosa cost? Here in Southern California it's very common to find large-form Monstera deliciosa, grown from seed, at large family-run nurseries. Maybe $8 USD for a young plant if you find somewhere with good prices.
I believe philodendron warszewiczii is pronounced varshevichi - from the Polish botanist that discovered it, Józef Warszewicz. Same pronunciation as Poland's capital city - Warszawa.
Yup grew up with these.(monstera deliciosa).. didn't know there were different ones and been struggling with a small form for a while. But this spring after realizing the difference I've gone and brought home 2 for free! Different people giving them away. I was struggling finding one to buy and found both at difference time on Facebook marketplace 😂
I LOVE the Philodendron Warscewiczii. I don't understand why they're not more popular. Like you said, you often find the yellow version but I much prefer the green one. They're so beautiful at every stage. I got a baby plant and I'm so pleased that I have it in my (small) collection!
Cool, I have a Philo subhastatum 😊 Oooh, I really liked the Amydrium zippelianum and the Monstera pinnatipartita. I don't think I'd have enough room for the latter though.
I have a Skeleton Key and a Geoldii! Mine are juvenile but still awesome. I can't wait to get my first mature leaf. Thank you for giving them recognition!
It's often takes several decades for the epithets of plant genera that have been reclassified by botanists to be widely adopted by horticulturists. Hobbyists are even more reluctant to adopt name changes for plants that they are accustomed to referring to by an earlier name. All of these former philodendrons now belong to the genus Thaumatophyllum but don't look for changes on the labels of plants in the florists' shops anytime soon: P. bipinnatifidum (formerly P. selloum) P. brasiliense P. goeldii P. speciosum P. undulatum P. xanadu (formerly P. 'Xanadu')
Józef Warszewicz discovered the philodendron Warszewiczii - he was a Polish botanist. And W I the Polish alphabet is pronounces as V, plus sz and cz are a specific souls that dont exist in English. So the proper pronunciation n is very very different that what most English speaking people would think
I find it very interesting that large form monsteras are the uncommon ones in the UK. I'm from Mexico City and they're everywhere (And I mean EVERYWHERE!). My girlfriend and I have this little game going on for the past two years where we spot monstera on the street, and a 20 minute car ride around the city always yields 7+ sightings. I'm almost sure that most of them are remnants from the 70's craze. People planted them outside and while they don't exactly thrive in our climate unless artificially watered, a lot of them survived. It's not uncommon to see absolutely massive ones fruiting. I have two of them and both are rescues found on the sidewalk as trash. Small form though, those are a bit harder to find. They're common in stores now, since they grow a lot faster and their popularity grew in recent years, but a couple of years ago I couldn't find one anywhere! I finally got one this year at one of our huge plant markets for about a pound (25 pesos).
this video is refreshing! @7:22 i think that's the Lacerum...? I am so lucky to have the MD largeform, the Subhastatum and Golden Dragon. im currently experimenting my MDs, i have potted and another i plant directly in our backyard, see which of the two grows bigger and faster haha... i hope I can grow my Pinna like the one you showed, mine seemed to be hybernating... like no change at all for more than 5 months since i acquired it. thank you so much for sharing! cheers!
I have a large form. Got some old dried out bits of stalk from a friend. Tossed them in my aquarium for a couple of weeks and now I have a fab plant! I absolutely love it. Everywhere sells borsigiana but I’ve never seen deliciosa for sale in shops
.. Thank you Kaylee for yet another video.. Ohh, the Philodendron Subhastatum is definitely on my wishlist now ☘️🤗 Last year I bought a Philodendron Goeldii in my grosery store, and about 6 months later I gave it away to a neighbor, because I never understood the poor plant.. Now I often see the plant in garden centers, but it is not for mee..
This is the first of your videos where I absolutely love every plant on the list! The only ones I hadn't seen before are the Anthurium Arrow and Thaumatophyllum African Fantasy. The rest are already on my wishlist, and those two will be joining them! Loved this video, so glad to see these underrated plants get the love they deserve.
Hubby says it's huh for him it's awe for me. Lol but I love all of them. I have the large form monstera deliciosa, and been looking at getting the philodendron warszewczii, and philodendron golden dragon, but now I'm going to have to put some more on my list. Thank you
Wind back to just before the second covid lockdown. I went to my last class at college before the lockdown. I noticed that a really large and old monstera deliciosa had a stunted pup. It was growing in a staircase between floors and the pup came out on the wrong side so I suspected it was not getting sunlight. I went straight to the dean (principal? Sorry not my native language) in the office like "Sorry, I've got a question, can I get the pup from the monstera deliciosa?" And he was like "The what from the what?" LOL He agreed. I snapped it off. The weather was really bad that day, it was windy, frozen rain, really cold. I had a plant in a wet hankie in a repurposed sandwich bag. It had 2 leaves, one yellowed and fell off. The other leaf was half crispy. I had two nodes but the one on the bottom began to rot. I now have 5 new leaves. The original half-crispy leaf fell off after a year. It's a real show stopper.
I have that Anthurium Arrow! I thought it was called Anthurium Black Corong? It was so unusual & rare that I found only one stock from a garden center compared to the PhilodendronGoeldii and Subhastatum that had like a shelf full of other stocks… its super sturdy and leatherlike, It’s one of my favorites!
I accidentally killed my thaumatophyllum spruceanum, but it was small. They just got a fully grown one at our garden center and omg the pictures do NOT do it any justice AT ALL.
Ahhh unusal plant list and I actually have one??? I have Skeleton key from a trade. I love everything with that weird whispy tail so I also have Alocasia stingray and Xanthosoma atrovirens variegatum monstrosum.
I actually loved the amydrium medium which was not a part of the list but I can't also find it anywhere in my country so i kinda ended up with nothing LOL
I just recently purchased online a monstera pinnatipartita a 4 inch plant. I didn't know much about it but I like how the young leaves looked, I'm very excited to know what this can grow into! Can't wait!
I love my philodendron selloum! Especially how the edges of the leaves are like a crinkled ribbon. Thanks for reminding me how many plants are out there and you don't have to break the bank to have a beautiful collection. :)
Omg yeah I’ve added like 5 or 6 of these to my already big list 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 one that I’ve seen and fallen in love that’s not on this list is a plain green piper. Like a nice deep green sort of like the pepper piper (the one that pepper cokes from) but I think it’s not that form. I’ve only ever seen one so far where I am and I’m hoping it’s still there in two days coz I’m regretting not getting it when I saw it 😂😂😂 so I’m going back for it. I don’t fancy the colourful pipers at all lol so this was the first ever solid green one I’ve seen and I’m smitten lol
I collect plants and I keep thinking about my giant large form monstera that grows in my backyard. I keep leaving bits of it in front of my house for council pickup 😅
I have a thing for skeleton keys, even tattooed with one, and sadly I’m one the ones like ugghhh🥴 with the E skeleton key I think the P joepii is super cute though, so… 🤷🏾♀️
Gdammit 🤣I have a baby pinnapartium and have been searching for a large form cut. The baby throws out runners and smaller leaves if it doesn't have something to climb 💀
as someone who has a lot of big plants, i want a large form but i don't think i will ever have the space lol. I have currently a monstera small form, a red cardinal, a xanadu, a white bird of paradise, a fiddle leaf fig, and a ficus juniper... I'm amazed the last 2 are doing well because they always seem to be the first to die with most people lol, my fiddle leaf has only ever lost 3 leaves and has already replaced them, that said they aren't a plant i recommend for anyone XD, it's so picky about watering!
monstera large form is growing naturally at my city, there are a lot of them in parks and "the mountain" (you should visit Canary Islands at least once ;)
I own a skeleton key baby and it's pretty similar to a regular pinnatum. Two leaves are even silver and look very similar to a philodendron silver sword. It grows pretty fast and I love it and I'm looking forward to the days it matures. It's awkward but I love that.
I have the large Monstera and I am so happy about it. I got the cutting for free at a train stop. A woman was carrying the biggest monsters cuttings I have ever seen. I asked her where she got it from and she said from her sister, whom had it for many many years. She offered me one for free and I was sooo happy
That is awesome.
Nice. I have 5 of these plants.
How I wish this happened for me !! I can't find these anywhere!
I got mine for free too! It was from my online plant friend that doesn't have enough space anymore 😂
🛩🛩
Could we please possibly get a thaumatophyllum rare plant index in the future :) ? I love them and I think they are so underrated?
If you do this kaylee please put thaumatophyllum revolutions and super atom on there
She just did, check her latest video
@@siobhanahbois she hasn't yet tho?
I'm glad that you are showing inexpensive plants, it's not always about expensive and rare plant all the time.
The "Philodendron Selloum" is actually Thaumatophyllum Bipinnatifidum! Also commonly called Tree Philodendron and Split Leaf Philodendron, some times even referred to as some sort of Monstera.
I LOVE the epiprenum skeleton key! It looks like a mini, vining alocasia stingray! Definitely an “ooohhh?👀😲” for me.
My exact reason for a vote yes to the plant👍 Vertical crawl up instead of out also saves more space as well and could be a good “filler”
I love it also. Out of all the plants I have in my collection, this is the one that people won’t stop talking about. And I get all ranges of comments from okay, interesting to gorgeous.
I actually have 3 of these plant, huh. Our local Chinese restaurant used to have large form deliciosa. It was over 3 m tall, growing on the wall.

I don't know what latin pronunciation would be, but if you're going with the original language (Polish) and botanist's last name "warscewiczi" would be pronounce as var-shae-vee-chee.
Thank you for enlightening me/us!
I love my mature skeleton but to get those cool key shapes i would definitely highly recommend the moss pole. But either way its such a fast grower!
Ooooo tips and tricks!
*rubs hands together*
I can’t wait to get mine.
im so pissed i almost got that plant 2 years ago but i didn't know how sexy they are when they mature.
One of the favourites in my collections too! They grow so quickly if they can climb, and are very easy to take care of!
Mine has two silver leaves but all the others are regular green. Does anyone have a explanation for this?
I have a Variegated Spiral Ginger and I love it. It's super easy to take care of, grows pretty fast, and the variegation pattern is stunning.
Omg I just looked up that one and I want it soooo bad 😂😂😂😂
i also don’t understand why more people don’t have philodendron goeldii/thaumatophyllum spruceanum!!! i bought mine from a plant store and it was a rooted cutting that only had 3 lobes! it’s been about 8 months and it has grown 3 immature leaves and 2 mature leaves that have 8 and 9 lobes respectively!! it doesn’t need a moss pole in my experience, just a lot of light!! :) absolutely one of my faves. 💚💚

I feel like a lot of succulents and cacti go unnoticed too. There are so many and most are not too expensive (if you buy them small).
I surprisingly have a bunch of these on your list! I will say, you are showing off the mature specimens of each which is definitely not that you're gonna see available for purchase.

why is nobody talking about raphidaphora decursiva?
I saw a person say the skeleton key pothos reminded them of alocasia stingray. Very much the vibe
Subhastatum is my favorite! It was my first "fancy" philodendron and it grows so easily and fast. It's got these beautiful big leaves too 😍😍
I have epi. P. skeleton 🔑. Actually I have a collection of Epipremnum pinnatum 7 of them(blue/mint/aurea/albo/blue var/skeleton key/marble) and I love them. They bring me joy.
Wooo another sponsored video :D glad you pick up the good sponsors and get paiiidddd for pushing out so much nice content for us, Kaylee! Anyways - onwards to the video 🌿
Thankyoo 🥰
I love the skeleton key! It is my fastest growing plant, such an overlooked gem!
❤️💜🌿
I own and love subhastatum, but it loses its red underside so quickly once it matures in size, climbing up its pole...which is sad for me because the reason why I love it is the red undersides
where I live in Mexico you can find the monstera large form in main streets, they are part of the streets!!
A common thread going around all these thaumatophyllums (as well as E. skeleton key and Ph. warszewickzii) is that they are like Ph. lupinums and Ph. gigas - they take really long to reach mature form.

Try the alocasia stingray. It is almost identical and keeps it's tail.
I lived in Malta and large form monsteras are growing everywhere in front of the houses. Leaves I could use for a blanket 😂
I LOVE the Skeleton Key! It’s super different and you know you’re doing good when the keys start taking form! ^.^
I have the E. Skeleton Key and it's one of my favorites. They are fun shape-shifting plants, easy to grow, and seeing the leaves mature into the skeleton version is really cool. Highly recommended and definitely underrated.
Ep. Skeleton looks kind of ee...but I think I would LOVE it )
I was thinking almost the same when she was talking about the skeleton key. One of the easiest and fastest to grow and propagate.
I have a couple baby ones! They’re great:)
Thank you for mentioning philodendron subhastatum! I've been forever saying that it's way underestimated and I don't understand why people aren't after it. I own one, also a variegata version and they are gor-geous, I'd never give up on them
Love this list. Huge fan of the philodendron subhastatum. It grows fast. It propagates so easy and it’s a really pretty plant. Totally underrated!
Very nice collection. Thanks!
This was a great list. I just discovered the T. African Fantasy last night and immediately put it on my list so this really does feel like my sign
Great video. you've remind me of what someone once said❤️ "The mind is the man, the poor is in it and the rich is it too". This sentence is the secret of most successful investors. I once attended similar and ever since then i been waxing strong financially, and i most tell you the truth..🥂
Skeleton key looks a bit like an alocasia stingray and I’ve actually been trying to find it to purchase.
I've got the monstera lechleriana and it's verigated form and I gotta say i love them wey more the then adansonnii and deliciosa but I actually just got a young pinnatipartita, loving it so far and can't wait for it to split, and now I'm on the hunt for the subpinatum.
People in the Philippines always go wild over the Monstera Thai Constellation and Albo and other Popular Monstera while the Rare Plant Shop owner is very much proud of her Monstera Pinnatipartita which is so common here in the Philippines. Great. That's why I really love this channel.
Philodendron fuzzy petiole is one of my cheap, not talked about, faves. I’m not talking about squamifarum. It looks like a gloriousum without the veins and it’s CHEAP online. $20 bucks on Etsy cheap. I never see it in big box stores. It grows these large, beautiful, almost velvet looking, pillowy leaves and of course…cute fuzzy/bumpy petioles. Love it.
I picked one up in my local shop but when I got it home I discovered travel damage and all the new leaves coming in were rotten so I’ve had to do the big chop back. Beautiful plant. Gutted that the one I got was in such bad condition! 😭😭😭
Ughh I’ve had a Fuzzy Petiole for almost a yr an it’s such a humidity hog!! Leaves getting stuck constantly, it’s pain too keep up with for me.
The stuck leaves lol im onto mine trying to grow out the third leaf since i got it and this one might make it!!! Two of the older leaves has a couple big splashes of variegation. Anyone else had this pop up in their Fuzzy petiole/ Nangaritense?
What does it call in etsy ?
Cheap now yeah, I had to put out 200 bucks for it
you can find large form deliciosas en masse in garden censters in germany and the netherlands for around 50 euro (with already super big leafes). I think you dont see them in collections because they get HUUUUGE. Not everyone has space for them. they are wild :D
The pinnatitipatita and the skeleton key hve been on my list for a while but can only find teeny cuttings. Great selections on those alternate monsteras, they are cool. But I for real am so sick of seeing the adasonii. Some people still have cuttings for thousands that’s madness.
I love the weird plants, skeleton key is honestly quite far up my wishlist it’s so Alien xD golden dragon is one of my faves too have a tiny camo as well
Thank you so much. After watching your video. I searched for this Thaumatophyllum African Fantasy. Managed to get a pot. It was absolutely gorgeous! Loved it so much! Thank you for introducing this plant to me. I really love watching all your videos! Keep posting! Much love…
I feel like Philodendron subhastatum is going to EXPLODE in popularity next year
I would love to see a video on ant plant species!
This is so interesting! In the US in some places the large form monstera is pretty easy to find in big box stores. The small one is obviously more common but locally they were selling MASSIVE (6 foot) monstera del. Large form for $50 😳 the leaves were incredible, I was so sad I didn't have the space😂
Thaumatophyllum 'African fantasy' is hybrid of Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum (previously Philodendron selloum) and Thaumatophyllum spruceanum (previously Philodendron goeldii).
Sorry my Besty... I dont do cuttings. :| Thank You for the vid
It's sometimes wierd how I watch you not because I'm looking for some information about plants but because of your English. I'm an avid English learner and your accent and the way you string sentences just clicks with me so well. Thanks for you vids, really appreciate your effort.
I'm also wondering why doesn't any of houseplant youtubers tell any numbers. Put this plant here and there, don't add too much fertilizers, etc. It's so vague and amature. Where are the actual PPFD and PPM values for each species?
Seloum is not anymore classified as a Philodendron
Ive seen large form monsteras pop up in a home depot a couple of times and i wish i had the space for one, theyre gorgeous. I also quite like the skeleton key pothos cause it reminds me of an alocasia stingray which i find cute
Warszewiczii: Pronounce it however you want, but it derives from Polish (like in Warshaw), something like War-shuh-wee-tchee-eye :)
That Anthurium arrow is absolutely magnificent!!!!!! I need this…..😱
OMGosh Kaylee!!! I’ve never seen a Spiral Ginger plant before. How unusual!!!
My local plant shop has some Skeleton keys. They remind me of the Alocasia 'Stingray' which I have. If I had room for it (mature), I would definitely buy one.
Skeleton Key is not a wishlist plant but I'd buy it if I came across it (and it was within my price range). I'm all for weird looking plants though, maybe this is too weird for me? XD
I had:
49. Thaumatophyllum spruceanum on the list already
I added;
77. Philodendron subhastatum
78. Philodendron warszewiczii
79. Thaumatophyllum 'African Fantasy'
80. Amydrium zippelianum
Other weird/uncommon/rare Aroids on the WL is:
68. Alocasia 'Flying Squid'
75. Amorphophallus obscurus
*Kaylee* ~ Skeleton key
*Me* ~ YEAH!!!
I almost bought one during my last trip to my fav discount plant shop- NEXT TIME FOR SURE!
Question for people in the UK: how much does a large form Monstera deliciosa cost? Here in Southern California it's very common to find large-form Monstera deliciosa, grown from seed, at large family-run nurseries. Maybe $8 USD for a young plant if you find somewhere with good prices.
"Philodendron Upi" (Nope) "Epipremnum Skeleton Key" (Yes)
I believe philodendron warszewiczii is pronounced varshevichi - from the Polish botanist that discovered it, Józef Warszewicz. Same pronunciation as Poland's capital city - Warszawa.
The skeleton key is MARVELOUS. But I love the weirdos 💁🏼♀️
Yup grew up with these.(monstera deliciosa).. didn't know there were different ones and been struggling with a small form for a while.
But this spring after realizing the difference I've gone and brought home 2 for free! Different people giving them away. I was struggling finding one to buy and found both at difference time on Facebook marketplace 😂
I LOVE the Philodendron Warscewiczii. I don't understand why they're not more popular. Like you said, you often find the yellow version but I much prefer the green one. They're so beautiful at every stage. I got a baby plant and I'm so pleased that I have it in my (small) collection!
Cool, I have a Philo subhastatum 😊
Oooh, I really liked the Amydrium zippelianum and the Monstera pinnatipartita. I don't think I'd have enough room for the latter though.
The Anthurium Arrow is lovely! Sort of looks like a giant heart leaf fern to me :)
I have a Skeleton Key and a Geoldii! Mine are juvenile but still awesome. I can't wait to get my first mature leaf. Thank you for giving them recognition!
LOVE the skeleton key!! Thanks for the video. From a quick glance it looks like african fantasy is a few hundred dollars in the US.
It's often takes several decades for the epithets of plant genera that have been reclassified by botanists to be widely adopted by horticulturists. Hobbyists are even more reluctant to adopt name changes for plants that they are accustomed to referring to by an earlier name. All of these former philodendrons now belong to the genus Thaumatophyllum but don't look for changes on the labels of plants in the florists' shops anytime soon:
P. bipinnatifidum (formerly P. selloum)
P. brasiliense
P. goeldii
P. speciosum
P. undulatum
P. xanadu (formerly P. 'Xanadu')
Józef Warszewicz discovered the philodendron Warszewiczii - he was a Polish botanist. And W I the Polish alphabet is pronounces as V, plus sz and cz are a specific souls that dont exist in English. So the proper pronunciation n is very very different that what most English speaking people would think
I find it very interesting that large form monsteras are the uncommon ones in the UK. I'm from Mexico City and they're everywhere (And I mean EVERYWHERE!). My girlfriend and I have this little game going on for the past two years where we spot monstera on the street, and a 20 minute car ride around the city always yields 7+ sightings. I'm almost sure that most of them are remnants from the 70's craze. People planted them outside and while they don't exactly thrive in our climate unless artificially watered, a lot of them survived. It's not uncommon to see absolutely massive ones fruiting. I have two of them and both are rescues found on the sidewalk as trash. Small form though, those are a bit harder to find. They're common in stores now, since they grow a lot faster and their popularity grew in recent years, but a couple of years ago I couldn't find one anywhere! I finally got one this year at one of our huge plant markets for about a pound (25 pesos).
this video is refreshing! @7:22 i think that's the Lacerum...? I am so lucky to have the MD largeform, the Subhastatum and Golden Dragon. im currently experimenting my MDs, i have potted and another i plant directly in our backyard, see which of the two grows bigger and faster haha... i hope I can grow my Pinna like the one you showed, mine seemed to be hybernating... like no change at all for more than 5 months since i acquired it. thank you so much for sharing! cheers!
I have a large form. Got some old dried out bits of stalk from a friend. Tossed them in my aquarium for a couple of weeks and now I have a fab plant! I absolutely love it. Everywhere sells borsigiana but I’ve never seen deliciosa for sale in shops
.. Thank you Kaylee for yet another video.. Ohh, the Philodendron Subhastatum is definitely on my wishlist now ☘️🤗 Last year I bought a Philodendron Goeldii in my grosery store, and about 6 months later I gave it away to a neighbor, because I never understood the poor plant.. Now I often see the plant in garden centers, but it is not for mee..
This is the first of your videos where I absolutely love every plant on the list! The only ones I hadn't seen before are the Anthurium Arrow and Thaumatophyllum African Fantasy. The rest are already on my wishlist, and those two will be joining them! Loved this video, so glad to see these underrated plants get the love they deserve.
16:18 OOOOGH 🦍
Hubby says it's huh for him it's awe for me. Lol but I love all of them. I have the large form monstera deliciosa, and been looking at getting the philodendron warszewczii, and philodendron golden dragon, but now I'm going to have to put some more on my list. Thank you
Wind back to just before the second covid lockdown. I went to my last class at college before the lockdown. I noticed that a really large and old monstera deliciosa had a stunted pup. It was growing in a staircase between floors and the pup came out on the wrong side so I suspected it was not getting sunlight.
I went straight to the dean (principal? Sorry not my native language) in the office like "Sorry, I've got a question, can I get the pup from the monstera deliciosa?" And he was like "The what from the what?" LOL
He agreed.
I snapped it off. The weather was really bad that day, it was windy, frozen rain, really cold. I had a plant in a wet hankie in a repurposed sandwich bag. It had 2 leaves, one yellowed and fell off. The other leaf was half crispy. I had two nodes but the one on the bottom began to rot.
I now have 5 new leaves. The original half-crispy leaf fell off after a year. It's a real show stopper.
I have that Anthurium Arrow! I thought it was called Anthurium Black Corong? It was so unusual & rare that I found only one stock from a garden center compared to the PhilodendronGoeldii and Subhastatum that had like a shelf full of other stocks… its super sturdy and leatherlike, It’s one of my favorites!
I accidentally killed my thaumatophyllum spruceanum, but it was small. They just got a fully grown one at our garden center and omg the pictures do NOT do it any justice AT ALL.
Thank you for introducing me to a thaumatophyllum that i dont yet have! Thaumatophyllum african fantasy added to wishlist; CHECK
Ahhh unusal plant list and I actually have one??? I have Skeleton key from a trade. I love everything with that weird whispy tail so I also have Alocasia stingray and Xanthosoma atrovirens variegatum monstrosum.
I actually loved the amydrium medium which was not a part of the list but I can't also find it anywhere in my country so i kinda ended up with nothing LOL
I just recently purchased online a monstera pinnatipartita a 4 inch plant. I didn't know much about it but I like how the young leaves looked, I'm very excited to know what this can grow into! Can't wait!
Amydrium Zippelianum is awesome, just ordered one because of your recommendation, thanks. Keep up the great recommendations
I think kaylee Ellen cut her hair or got extensions because I used to roast how thin her hair was 😂 don’t worry Girl I have the same problem
My thaumatophyllum spruceanum is silver, I don't know why but I've never seen one as silver as mine.
We had a Monstera large form when I was growing up. It was a scraggly mess. I don't remember what happened to it...
I love my philodendron selloum! Especially how the edges of the leaves are like a crinkled ribbon. Thanks for reminding me how many plants are out there and you don't have to break the bank to have a beautiful collection. :)
Previously it was classified in the genus Philodendron. but now, it was classified in the genus Thaumatophyllum Bipinnatifidum
Omg yeah I’ve added like 5 or 6 of these to my already big list 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 one that I’ve seen and fallen in love that’s not on this list is a plain green piper. Like a nice deep green sort of like the pepper piper (the one that pepper cokes from) but I think it’s not that form. I’ve only ever seen one so far where I am and I’m hoping it’s still there in two days coz I’m regretting not getting it when I saw it 😂😂😂 so I’m going back for it. I don’t fancy the colourful pipers at all lol so this was the first ever solid green one I’ve seen and I’m smitten lol
I collect plants and I keep thinking about my giant large form monstera that grows in my backyard. I keep leaving bits of it in front of my house for council pickup 😅
I have a thing for skeleton keys, even tattooed with one, and sadly I’m one the ones like ugghhh🥴 with the E skeleton key
I think the P joepii is super cute though, so… 🤷🏾♀️
Gdammit 🤣I have a baby pinnapartium and have been searching for a large form cut. The baby throws out runners and smaller leaves if it doesn't have something to climb 💀
I have a skeleton key! It’s still immature but it’s fun watching it grow!
Flourish at Manchester was selling huge pinnatipartitas for 20 quid looool.
as someone who has a lot of big plants, i want a large form but i don't think i will ever have the space lol.
I have currently a monstera small form, a red cardinal, a xanadu, a white bird of paradise, a fiddle leaf fig, and a ficus juniper... I'm amazed the last 2 are doing well because they always seem to be the first to die with most people lol, my fiddle leaf has only ever lost 3 leaves and has already replaced them, that said they aren't a plant i recommend for anyone XD, it's so picky about watering!
monstera large form is growing naturally at my city, there are a lot of them in parks and "the mountain" (you should visit Canary Islands at least once ;)
I own a skeleton key baby and it's pretty similar to a regular pinnatum. Two leaves are even silver and look very similar to a philodendron silver sword. It grows pretty fast and I love it and I'm looking forward to the days it matures. It's awkward but I love that.
