Thank you so much for watching! If there are any videos (Rare Online HousePlant Unboxing's, More Plant Tours, Specific Plant Care) you would like to see please let me know :).
think i'll wait 3 years when the prices come down and these are more common
Same here, those prices are unreal!
Lmao same
I'm pretty much paying $100 dollars a year to have this plant early omg
@@ErikaLodes you got a good head start ahead of us, that plant is going to be massive in 2-3 years
@@rurutuM I hope so! But by then you'll probably be able to buy one the same size as mine for the same price hahaha
Y’all never going to believe what I found in my local Home-depot today!!! I decided to buy a huge non variegated monstera deliciosa for only $59.99. So I was ready to load it in my car and start inspecting if there’s bugs, and found one huge leaf with variegation. You all I’m so excited.😮😮😮
People spend money on all kinds of things so I am glad you are so happy with your new purchase. Hopefully it roots and gives you increasingly more joy as time progresses.
Thank you!!
I am so stoked for you! Your smile was amazing and genuine as always. I enjoy watching your positivity and encouragement with my plant collection. Proud of you young lady. Keep at it and enjoy your blessings. Merry Christmas to you!!!
So excited for you can't wait to see your progress, you've got this!
Love your happy smiley face. You lift my spirits. I’m so happy for you and I truly hope she flourishes. I would never be brave enough to spend that on any plant. I’m still thinking 50 bucks is a lot only because it could die. I’m sure you will nurture this plant into a gigantic beauty. Can’t wait for the update. Oh and Merry Christmas
can't wait for an update on this! was so happy for you with the thai constellation update
I love this whole 'shop with me' in this video, it would be so fun and interesting if you did shop with me vids in the future!! loved this vid Erika :)
Erika!! You’re glowing!! Happy for you and your new plant bb🥰
Hey 👋 Omaigosh!!! Sooo beautiful 😍!!! Congrats on your buy 🤗🤗🤗, with your care it will soon give you roots!!! You go girl!!!
Congrats on getting such a gorgeous Monstera Albo cutting! I’m sure you’ll take really good care of it and have great success! I always enjoy your videos too 👍🏻🤩
You made a great choice Erika beautiful cutting I can't wait for updated progress videos.
congratulations on your purchase. the cutting looks beautiful!
Hey Erika! In addition to lots of light, I it helped me to put the jar on a warm surface especially if it’s cold where you are! Hope it roots fast, can’t wait to see your updates.
Congratulations! So excited for you!
My boyfriend got me an albo cutting as an anniversary gift and he actually got it from the same seller you did! My cutting rooted so quickly in water! I hope you have good luck with yours too!!!!
He is a keeper!!! I'm hoping mine roots as quickly as yours hehe
Congratulations!!! So excited for you!! Best of luck!!! It’s gorgeous!! God bless!!
I finally got my first albo cutting couple months ago through a trade ! It’s a top cutting and was unrooted. I put her in moss in a humidity box and she has SO many roots it’s crazy! I’ve had my Thai since early summer of 19 and he just started spitting out fenestrated leaves a couple months back! You picked a cutie 🥰 😍💚
Yay!!! Mine is the joy of my life! I hope she thrives for you 😊
I can completely see why! I'm currently obsessed w mine!
Congratulations! It's gorgeous, you deserve it.
I hope everything goes well!! Good luck! 🍀😍
They’re a huge head ache when they’re getting established but goddamn I love them
Ya, it's the worst part not knowing whether it will root or not ):
Congrats on your albo! If you’re going to keep it in water I’d recommend getting the bonide root & grow. It’s basically a liquid rooting hormone but also has NPK. My Thai constellation did really well with it
Ahhh it’s so pretty!! Im glad it shipped well. Fingers crossed for quick rooting 🤞🏼
Thank you!! I'm hoping it roots quickly too, I check it so many times every day lol
Nice to meet another plant lover. Thanks for sharing.🎄
So happy for you! It’s beautiful 🤩! It will root well in water!
Yayy i'm so excited for you!!! its Beautiful 🥰 Good luck 🤞🏼 I got mine halloween day and i love it i don't regret not one single penny spent on it☺️
It’s beautiful!!!🌱Good luck !!!
Beautiful! Good luck with the rooting!
WOW, I just checked out their etsy shop and I'm impressed. Good for you Erika although I am jealous, lol. 😍
😲 #1 on my wish list!
Christmas certainly came early for you!
Your Thai Constellation video got me shopping around for one as my own which I'm on the cusp of buying. Now you put this up. I don't need this much enablement in my life right now 🤣
Lol let me know when you buy it (;
Excited for you 💚🌿
Holy cow that is beautiful and you are one lucky girl. Merry Christmas to you.
Our is growing a new leaf super excited!
The picture did not do it justice !! It looked so beautiful and magical when you were unpackaging it ☁️ 🌿☁️
Keep us updated on this baby please ahh I’m so exited to watch it grow 😍
I will!!
I’m so excited for you! I’m watching a bunch of Albo videos because I just purchased one through a fundraiser auction and am a LITTLE NERVOUS about rooting it. 😂😅
I bought my Albo from the same seller. They are fantastic! Mine is so highly variegated and has so many roots. A real beauty! Congratulations on yours!
What is the seller? Can you say me please.
Congrats!!
Worth it if it makes you happy! It's on my list too. Erika you mentioned adding a golden pothos to the container. Do you have any info on what that does - it peaked my interest?
She’s beautiful! I hope it roots up wonderfully and does great for you 🙏💚🤞🏼
You are just too cute! Congratulations on your new baby!
Yes, you are quite right about not choosing a plant that has too much cream because they are the ones that goes brown.Divas! So i bought one with plenty of mosaic patterning instead and its doing great. Bought from a reliable grower in the uk. They are a pleasure to grow if you get the right one i have to say. Its an exciting plant for sure!
so precious
(':
The most important thing to look at is the node on the stem. There should be a good amount of green and white striping on the actual node that will grow.
unfortunately, I didn’t see the nodes in the photographs that were shown.
Do you prefer rareexoticseeds or rarepalmseeds for online plant shopping? How about Seeds or Cuttings (which do you prefer to purchase online)?
I got a cutting very similar to yours about two months ago and it has been rooting very nicely! It took a couple of weeks to start sending baby roots tho
OMG it’s so beautiful!! I hope it roots for you! 🙏🏻😁
I just got my cutting yesterday. Same etsy shop too! the packaging was premium and so is the variegation
The plant will die
Stratum, perlite, and leca to root has never done me wrong! 🎉❤
I dunno who's cuter ..you or your new plant .. uummm ..it's you this time !!
ehm ehm excuse me, she is mine crush !
it's definitely the GORGEOUS LEAF!!
@@ErikaLodes And you too :/
I just got an unrooted cutting off of eBay and had success rooting it in leca :) good luck with you cutting!☺️💚🪴
@Indy M ehhhh why?
this would make a great Christmas present
AGREED! any plant lover would appreciate it
Cute! So happy for you! I just won an Ebay bid on a rooted Pink Princess Philodendron! It's so pretty and I'm so excited! Do you name your plants?
Congratulations 🍾🎉
Yup, definitely water propagation route first. IMO the best way is when theres only brown aerial roots, keeping it in water will soften the “brown case” of the roots and revealing the white roots or maybe it’ll grow secondary white roots out of it. After white roots come out, we can gradually “introducing” it to the air by sphagnum moss and then the soil. It may take longer, but it’s safest way. Hello from indonesia! 👋🏽
I LOVED this video 😍😍😍

Hi Erica! Really curious how your albo Is doing now:)
This will be the most pampered leaf ever ☺️
I got a thai con. from The Brushed Leaf and it did so well! The roots are coming in nicely and I think I am going to pot it soon! I got it from them about a month ago :)
How is she rooting?? Update?
I’ve always used water for Monstera cuttings so think it will be ok.
Any updates on how it is rooting?
From my experience the aerial roots means it will root ! What do you guys think?
Can you explain the concept/theory of how adding golden pothos to a water propagation helps? I am really interested!!
It produces a lot more rooting hormone than most of the other plants, so if you add some pothos cuttings to any other harder to propagete plants it basicly “help them out” with a boost of hormone.
Do you have an update on your albo? 🌿☘️🍀🌱
I'm so tempted to get one!!! These vids will help me decide lol
beautiful
I miss your channel so much. Im in over my head with this garden work. We've been trying different watering schedules fertilizer programs preventive fungicides etc...feeewwf
great plants👍👍
I shopped for all the same plants on Etsy! I went with a local seller, via a friends help, work your connects. Mine was $500 but like 5 nodes and every other one was rooted. You can cut one or two up and sell them to pay for the whole plant.
Hi Erika! Congrats on your new plant! Gonna be fun watching it grow! Quick question I’ve changed most my indoor plants to the mix you use (50/coco coir 30/perlite 10/orchid bark 10/worm castings. Do you use extra fertilizer for the house plants when using this mix? Or should I wait till Spring to put additional fert? 😊
I like to give them fish fertilizer, since it's slow release! You can give it to them once & then start fertilizing like normal in the spring :)
@@ErikaLodes Sounds good. Do you find that fish fertilizer has a bad odor when using it on indoor plants?
@@angel.heart007 When the soil is just watered, the smell does linger but it's very faint. As it dries, the smell does go away tho. But when you are using it, you should really do it outside because it smells suuuper bad.
Congratulations! 🍃 🍃
in the video you said a long aerial root was going to be a problem...I'm new to being obsessed with plants and i am genuinely curious what that's bad? thank you in advance!
*why
I thought leaf cuttings together in Germany were expensive but wow, they are like between 30-70 a leaf. 200 are nuts
I saw someone on reddit said they bought one amongst the regular ones at a local nursery!
Ooo I’ve never heard of adding pothos to another water propagation?? How does it work or why does it promote growth?? I’m super curious to try!
It's supposed to release the growth hormones that will help the monstera root faster. I don't know if it actually works, but I'm experimenting with it to find out for sure!
How is your cutting doing?
Highly recommend moss!! Mine rotted in water, grew roots like crazy in moss
I would root in perlite to avoid rot because you should not submerge the stem, or if in water get an aquarium aerator to help keep bacteria growth down, keep him in a more humid environment. Dip the root into the rooting hormone. Im personally doing this with a cutting I ordered the same day as yours.
OMG! Guess what I just ordered my first Monstera Borsigiana Albo 😬eek! I can’t wait lol 😂
Congratulations! You picked a beauty 🥰 I am so jealous here in Canada they are 2-3 x the price you payed ☹️
How is this monstera doing? Update video? 😜🤓
Great choice Erica. Beautiful plant. I would love to visit California sometime. Maybe next winter after Covid-19 😎God bless. You should have your mom on sometime lol. Just a thought. Merry Christmas and stay safe.
Visit in the spring!! It's so pretty & green
I hope that thing roots for you they are a very expensive plant I had one a while back loved it so much.thank you for the video as always love them you are just to cute
Pls pls pls do an update! I just bought my thai constellation medium size with 4 leaves all rooted and in a pot and established yesterday for 275 from local seller. I also bought a small albo all rooted and established with 2 leaves in a pot last wk as well from another local seller for 150. I have my thai under its own grow light and my albo inside my grow cabinet terrarium to help it even more with humidity and plenty of lighting. Now is a good time to buy expensive rare plants from local sellers because holidays are coming and people dont have stable jobs so people would be willing to sell anything at a more affordable price. U shd check local facebook plant swaps and what not. That is how i found a bunch of my rarer plants including my thai and albo.
This is good. You look happy. And it make me feel good . !have a good day!.
Oh my god they are so expensive in your country for just a cutting! 😱 I haven’t rooted one myself but seen lots of people recommending dipping the end of the stem in wax first so it doesn’t rot and also just putting the aerial root into the water and not the stem to again try to prevent rot. Good luck 🤞
no idea where you live but this Etsy shop seems crazy expensive… did you check eBay? In my local store you can get potted plants with up to 3-4 leafs for around 150€
Would I have the name of nursery you got it ?
Aww how cute !!🥰🥰
Again i see you he he , How are you?
I just got a rooted cutting with three leafs (all half moon) for around $300.
Nice garden...like it..
so excited for you im too chicken to pull the trigger yet i have a bad thing about not going on vacation for fear of my plants stressing out and dying if i had an albo i just might go all hermit lol
Congratulations! Any update?
Omg so happy for you 🙃 ur freakin adorable 🥰
thank youuu
I just bought one today too! Woo.
Heck ya!! Our babies will root in tandem
I highly recommend Liquid-dirt. It is excellent fertilizer and helps root water props quicker :) Happy Planting
I will look into it, thanks!!
That. Is. Gorgeous. 💯 I would be so happy
i got a small one for christmas (a potted one) and im so scared im gonna kill it! please do an in -depth care video on how not to kill this (for beginners) THANK YOU SO MUCH AND ITS BEAUTIFULLLL
I'm now realizing how great of a deal I got. I had help from someone I know through a FB group. I got a single leaf, 2 node cuttings, fully rooted, and including shipping for $215. I’m so glad I got it when I did. I understand that danger of getting it through FB and Etsy gives you a bit more of a safety net. Although, I did hunt for a long time to find one I could afford because I could only spend $200. I hope y’all find your wishlist plant too! Even if you have to save up or trade for it! 🪴
i got three leaves and the stem has 7 roots growing the shop on etsy that i got it from is Exoticform i got mine for $189 im very happy with it as well the leaves look exactly like the picture!
I just bought a whole rooted plant with four leaves from Thai exotic greenery for 140$.
@@sandracastellanos921 it is very different today than it was 2 years ago for sure. That same cutting has now popped out 9 leaves so thankfully it worked out
