Insane $20 Rare Plant Find at Bunnings!! | Variegated Monstera & Philodendron

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ส.ค. 2024
- G'day, guys! In today's video, I show you a few different variegated plants that have come from Bunnings and another nursery. These variegation mutations happen spontaneously and are considered quite rare and desirable in plants, particularly aroids like Monstera deliciosa and various Philodendrons.

** SPOILER ** The plants include a variegated Philodendron bipinnatifidum (aka Philodendron Hope or now Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum ??) and two variegated Monstera deliciosa. An aurea and a mint variegated Monstera deliciosa.

A tip for removing the awful soil from the roots of store bought plants- use a chopstick or the back of a paint brush instead of fingers, poking in and around the roots. Makes the process way faster and results in less damage. Then do a rinse to remove rotted roots, remaining soil, etc. Nice content!
Ah very clever. I'll have to try that some time!
G'day Pete, I use clear waste paper bins from Kmart, use the soldering iron to make holes and cut to whatever size ya want. Kmarts near me all ran out so I bought Quadrant All Round Buckets (10litre) from Reject shop and again using the soldering iron then cut to whatever size you want. All just so I can perve on the roots.
Clever idea. I'll have to suss them out nearby and see how they go.
I actually did ask my local Bunnings in Bathurst and the head person for the Bunnings Garden Centre section said only peat moss because it holds the water as we know so they don’t have to water them all the time 😮. As they normally don’t have the time

Wooo! Great video Pete.
I was under the impression that Monstera was just a giant cutting with multiple levels of different variegation until you pulled it apart. 🤯
Peaches is just biding her time. Saving energy. The gate is nothing more than a plaything.
lol she will return bigger and stronger than ever before!
great video. i wear gloves i did touching the soil, but my nails get nasty. lol. (no, im not a Princess, just OCD). i will check my monstera on my porch today, that will be a freaking chore... i have an older one in a big pot & a newer one in a pot just 'chucked' in the larger pot. God only knows whats going on... wish you were here to tackle it with me. Wed have a great time. Laughing our asses off! i will let you know. ive been putting off this chore for a long time! I dread it!!!
Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing plants lovely collection beautiful
Cheers, Jillian!
Nice tip and good explanation about the Mikos.
Looking forward to a follow up on the Philodendron Hope.
Great video!
Thanks, Gary! Yeah, hopefully she grows well :D
Dirty hands warm heart 😂 ❤️🌿❤️
I like that! :D
Glad I found your channel, off to binge your vids.
Oh, cheers, Libby! Where you watching from?
Awesome plants! Thanks for sharing.
thanks mate :D
Really informative about why you don't want to leave any of the moisture soaked peat soil around your roots And why it may be okay if it's only at the top of the pot.. I like that every time I watch your videos, I learn something. FYI ..even the tall baby gates do not work for my cats because eventually they realize they can jump that high..
Haha yeah I'm worried about when Peaches summons up the courage to just jump over them!
Giving the little green monsteras as presents is a nice idea!
It's nice to have several of the same plant sometimes, but not too many. 😅
Also yes!!! Gloves are icky, my hands tend to sweat a bit when wearing any type of glove and it feels absolutely gross.
Getting soil on myself is no big deal, it's the carpet that's the problem LOL
Hehe yeah, I think once you get to 4-5 of the same thing it's starting to become overkill haha
My hands sweat in Gloves. When doing a particular messy job in the yard I may start out with them on but in 10 minutes the sweat has started and off they come👋🏽✋🏾
haha pretty much!
100% bare hands gardener. I have the blisters to prove it haha probably should wear gloves doing the hard yakka outside next time but probably wont.
Loving the plants, finding something like this and the fact bunnings is across the road from my work and have reasonable pies keep me going back almost daily to wander around the plant section. Hope they perform well for you Pete!
Hehe yeah exactly. Jealous that it's just across the road for you!
I just found a green on green variegated cucullatta at a local nursery for $12.99 myself, and boy was I excited!
Wow what a score! Nice work :D
Omg Pete!! I saw a philodendron hope in the shop and absolutely loved it but I thought it was a fungal thing with it because it had that same pattern on the leaves 😂😂 I can’t believe I left it in the shop! I’m going to have to go back and get it if it’s still there xx
hehe do it :D
Let us know!!!
Dang that’s a nice Monstera sport!
Cheers, Anna! Turns out it's actually large form :D
Hello Pete! There is a very nice guide on sport variegated monstera by Tyler Thrasher and how to spot what is a one-time mutation and what not. He is very well know to collect and study these types of mutations in monsteras!
Your sport variegated plant look pretty stable to me, but the "minty" one might revert as a one-sided big blotch is usually not much represented in the cells of the stem.
Thanks, mate. I'll check out Tyler as I follow him. And yeah, not sure what's going to happen with that 'mint' variegated plant. I fear it's probably just a one off.
Yeah I planted 57 Monstera deliciosa seedlings and I got 56 good ones out of it and I'm hoping I'll have some potential good genetics.
wow, nice work! What's made you want to grow out so many of them?
@@petevsplants7516 kinda a accidental purchase thinking the majority of them wouldn't grow because I ordered them in -26c in Montana. But now I got gifts for friends and family members. Plus might do some minor experiments with em. Moral of the story I didn't expect them to all grow so as you'd put might make it a game of the survival of the fittest.
Nice plants 🌿👍
I also don't like these heavy water retentive medium when buying at bunnings or most nurseries. I usually let it acclimatise to my house environnement for a week or two and I repot in my chunky aroid mid. I don't water them at all as they are usually pretty wet. Thanks for another fun video Pete 😁
Yeah, I find Bunnings in particular usually water the hell out of their plants. It's a trade off. If you don't repot and they've been overwatered, you're in trouble hehe
@@petevsplants7516 haha, the plant will tell you pretty quick. And regardless the plant needs time to acclimatise and rebuild its root cause there's never a lot in there 🤣 #rootrot but that's also why they are so cheap
Good find on hope
Cheers, Susie!
It's because it holds water well during shipping and is good to strike the seedlings in. I always repot when I get home though. Especially orchids.
Yeah, I can imagine it works well. Wish they had better instructions though for the average person who probably has no idea
@@petevsplants7516 same, it's so discouraging for newbies to have plants die because they don't know to repot them.
@@petevsplants7516 Also, to mention some plant tubers preach to let them stay in the pot for a while to let them adjust to their new setting. I guess listen to your gut feel is the best way!
@Jackie whitney yeah... seems the advice is mixed. Take them out asap. Don't take them out for weeks... lol I think you just have to try and see what works for you.
Hey Pete!! Love your channel
Cheers, Juan! Where you watching from?

Ok first question that popped to mind. 300 plants in one room-does that have any positive effect on air quality? Wonder how you can test that.
Azos is good stuff too. I use both.
Pro tip: save a herb bottle/salt shaker and fill them. You have a ready made dispenser when repotting instead if the crazy scoop.
Congratulations on that Hope. My baby one is starting to take off. I wish I had that color on mine!
Lol it probably raises the O2 level by a fraction of a %. I think you'd need everything completely sealed off and some kind of measuring device to really know. Good idea re: salt shaker tip. I need to sort something like that out I think.
I always use my bare hand, my fiancée constantly yells at me about my dirty hands lol
lol tell your fiancee to harden up :P
yesss that thick crap is what my Xanthosoma is in😂 I'm scared to repot it bc it seems to like it a new leaf pushed out and everything but it seems like it stays wet forever so annoying !
Yeah... I know that feeling. I'd just give it a go repotting and see how you go.
I’m torn about wearing gloves. Sometimes i do it cuz I don’t want dirt under my nails. But sometimes I prefer working with out them.
Hehe nothing wrong with that mate :D
Friend on mine who works at one of the places that stocks bunnings recently shared photos of new Thais that are going to be sent out in the next few weeks. They're going to mass available very soon so hopefully prices will drop
haha yeah, prices are already going down due to the amount of people importing TC and selling them online. Most groups in Aus here for 'rare' plants are loaded with them.
@@petevsplants7516 I'm curious how much longer they're going to hold that $200+ price point....
As long as retail stores like Bunnings keep the prices there and they sell them, I guess.
I have found that if I want a monstera aurea (which I do love) I am just waiting for my golden pothos in a pole to size up bc they do get huge like a monstera and they’re way easier and cheaper!! Sized up they look similar!
Haha true...!
I am totally a hands right into the soil - I do have gloves though that I use on occasion if I buy a plant with some manky looking soil that I don’t want to touch because it is likely soaked and filled with gnats 😂
Hehe my man :D
Hey Pete, Is there no such thing as a Tricolor Monstera? Wondering love the 3 colors in the one plant. 💚 Did you check for color in the stems? I can’t wear gloves potting up plants, ole farm girl lol Awesome find with the Hope so pretty😍
I don't think it's an official name, but I know what people mean if they're referring to the aurea variegated Monstera deliciosa where you get different shades of yellow and green.
I love using my bare hands
Hehe my man!
I’m hands on. I have to feel the soil I can’t plant with gloves at all., it just doesn’t feel right.
Hehe pretty much :D
The peat,it's cheaper for the nursery,then the plant is sold
Yeah, think you're 100% right. And lighter for transporting.
God…I have around 30% humidity in my living room. My poor plants 😂 I live in an old house in Northen Norway and we have to be really careful with humidifiers etc. I do have a cabinet though, but man….I wish I lived somewhere that is more suited for growing tropical plants
Haha well if the plants are doing okay in those conditions, it's not an issue :D You can probably acclimate them to it as well if you get a humidifier and gradually reduce the humidity over a month or two.
Recentely got a huge clerance monstera deliciosa for 7,50€ and because of the nursery soil mixt it rot at it base :( but i've cleaned and chopper every black parts and let it dry out then in water in a bright room and i wait for it to root hoppefully 🤞🏻
Good luck, mate! At the very least, it's a good investment in experience :D
Find out what day your bunn8ngs has its plant delivery. The next day go visit and look for any mark down, got some rarer plants for $10 each, over $100 worth for $40.
Wow, nice work. Yeah, I've been doing that a bit recently hehe
I have 3 of those humiidy things..
Exactly the same..6 & degree between the cheap shit*!
What is the nutrient solution made of? Do you have a video of it?
Hey mate, not yet. Will do one soon.
Do you have a video on your nutrient solution?!
Hey Steph, not yet, though I think I've mentioned it in a few videos. I'll put one together soon.
@@petevsplants7516 would love that! Thanks 🙏🏼
Where do you get your large clear pot at
Hey Lois, I get them from Bunnings.
The philo hope looks like mosaic virus 😢
I love playing in dirt. Gloves feel way too ewwww 🚫🧤🤢
Hehe my kind of lady :D
Oh Bunnings and Peaches.
hehe double whammy
