Ever thought about making your videos a bit longer? I’m sure there’s enough you cut out to extend then 5-10 mins longer.. you’re enticing enough, you talk about a broad range of things, I certainly want to hear more about! I can’t be the only one!
I actually find this shorter video format refreshing, most plant TH-camrs I got bored of because they only make long-format videos with little content or I just watch in 1.25x or even 1.5x because they linger too much.
Staghorn ferns have a special place in my heart since that was the first plant I actively collected, many years ago. I hope those become more popular. I’d love to see unique specimens become affordable and available in the US. They are great for space saving, since they can be mounted and hung on the wall. It’s a unique plant that adds a little something different to a collection. I’ve also been loving unique, variegated, orchids. Also a plant that can be mounted and hung.
It took me a second to realize what you were saying. I've never heard anyone pronounce it that way. But it's your video, you say it however you want. 😊
Not really, you're actually closer than most english-speakers. Alocasia is latin and even latin experts do not agree on the pronunciation of the language but it's definitely not Allow-kay-sia; that is english pronunciation. The closest phonetic spelling I can think of for English-speakers would be Allo-kas-sia (Allo is just like how you guys pronounce aloe).
Problem with Alocasia is they import terribly, which may keep the variegated price higher…I hear you on philodendrons but they are just so much easier to ship and import which makes it more accessible especially with the cool hybrids 😅
Great video once again! Dark Anthuriums and variegated Alocasia all the way 100% Personally I LOVE staghorns but I'd be shocked if our market moved in that direction.
What I find interesting is that in Asia they are obsessed with the dwarf and silvery white trichome covered platycerium varites but they seem to be way more suitable for the type on environment you'd get in most European or American homes. A lot of the serious collectors out there have to climate control rooms to get the more mild conditions these ferns prefer. I would love to see these crazy plants become more popular in the west.
I saw the Platycerium in videos of the plant show, it's nice to see something else than Aroids. I plan to add some Epiphytes to my collection, among which a Staghorn Fern
As an Asian, yeah, what Sean from Onlyplants said, Staghorn Ferns are coming in very very strong within Asian hobbyist, I think it started from last 1-2 years ago when a Platycerium won the award for most prized plant collection in hobby in Taiwan, since then Platycerium has made a slow climb to fame with many dedicated sellers and various degrees of Staghorn fern forms and sizes (some just the size of your palm at it’s max size) Perhaps due to Asian having a more limited and constrained spaces, vertical plants like Staghorn ferns will always has a place, and how so many Asian has grown them like an art display, framed, with a spotlight shining a light on it, it is a nice plant to have if you only one a few but display it nicely within your interior (Kawanrusa from aloneinoasis or Benjiplant did this) In fact, I’m actually kinda surprised the West didn’t catch on this trend at all 😅 But apart from that, I myself have decided to finally give Caudex plant a try after the price has slowly declined down and finally got myself a Phyllanthus mirabilis, (give me 2 more months and I’ll finally add more into my Platycerium collection, been eyeing a really narrow and long Platycerium willincki along with a many fingered one)
In Austria there are staghorn ferns avalibe in almost every plant shop. Not only one variety but at least 3. I ordered a dutch variety from a dutch online shop and it was not even expensive. So in my eyes it is trending in Europe too.
I'm surprised that terrarium-condition looking plants aren't on here. I feel like there are more and more very unique and exotic looking terrarium plants that are getting discovered and cultivated, and once people find a way to grow these plants in lower humidities then I think they're gonna get very popular
I've been noticing the Party Time Alternanthera being talked about a LOT, completely out of the blue, within the last month or so.. I never saw a single thing about them (I pay attention to pink plants, so I wouldn't have missed it) , until about a week after I bought one, in a large plant order with a bunch of other plants.. now they're everywhere 🤣 so idk if they're just getting more popular or what.. but I'd be interested to see stats on that 😂👌🏼
Literally my 2024 wish list. Anthuriums, variegated Alocasias, and more carnivorous plants. And a couple more Hoyas then I’ll be satisfied there. I guess I’m not alone in the first 2. I’m really not interested in cabinet growing though. All my Alocasias (and my one lone anthurium) are happy in room conditions.
I haven't seen any trending plants I like. I'm over all of the hybrids and variegations. They make for cool instagram photos to look at though. No shade to people who love them. I would like to see more orginal plants trend again. Major appreciation to the turtle plant and how quickly it can take over the windowsills.
Oh, pink diamond for sure. I've already got my tc babe. 😂 Please make a video on variegated alocasia! I have so many and want to know more about them. What about our hoya friends? The challenge of getting them to grow, thrive and bloom is super gratifying. Anthurium are such butts. I'm really entering into a solid alocasia and hoya era. 😁
I live in NZ variegated Alocasias and Anthurium are super popular atm also the mint and aurea monsteras and there's a loyal crew of Syngonium collectors myself included.
i completely agree with philodendron hybrids being the next big thing and same for monstera species variants. i do see more anthuriums as well but theyre still really not super popular with my plant friends, dont get me wrong they like the anthuriums, i got a few myself but eh, i see them still being a little more niche consumers than persay the philos, monstera, epipremnums.i think this is the year of the variegated/hybrid philo/monstera
I think that you had a couple interesting perspectives in this video. Your own perspective about collectors wanting a challenge goes exactly opposite to mine though, I've killed enough plants as it is already, I'm pretty much done with Alocasia and Anthurium, I'll keep the ones that I really love in Pon but I've given up on these two genera almost completely. Now I just want some easy plants that will reward my efforts or plants that I can stick in a high-humidity terrarium and just forget about. I recently got back onto Instagram and almost all I see is Anthurium hybrids and variegated Alocasia... Can't say that I care about any of these trends. But I will not deny that this is what's mostly going on right now. I loved Sean's perspective too, I think he's mostly right but I don't think that the Platycerium will ever take off here where I live, it's not nearly hot or humid enough for these to grow, unfortunately. At the moment, my personal interest lies mostly in the different morphological varieties and different sports of Monstera deliciosa (now that I can afford them) but also in terrarium plants that nobody talks about. I'd love to make a bioactive poison dart frog setup but I want it to look natural so unicorn plants are out of the question while small-leaf plants, ferns, mosses, shinglers and climbers are all welcome. I might be dipping my toes into begonias as well, some of them are real show-stoppers and they're not expensive, which is nice!
My Anthuriums eventually turn brown. I have had no success with Alocasias but wonder if they just die down & then grow back, like perennials outdoors here in Wisconsin. I twice had Homalomenas with dark green, heart-shaped leaves, but they fail, growing smaller, not bigger, after a few years.
I love plants but I will never understand the people buying $1000+ plants with one or two leaves. One thing goes wrong and you’re out thousands of dollars. Kinda seems like a circle jerk lol
I’m wondering how this is going to go for these Legacy growers and nurseries. The last year and a half has shown the masses that anything that costs “thousands” now will likely be in TC and in Home Depot or Walmart within 6-12 months. The variegated Alocasia will crash quickly as well, because they DO make corms readily. Thai Cons have gone from “Unicorn” to “can’t sell for more than $40” in less than 6 months. Personally, I think I’m done buying for a while. I have my collection, and at this point I’m back to collecting just for my aesthetic. I’m selling off a sizable chunk of my collection to move deeper into velvet anthurium, and anything else I keep is simply because I like them. 🤷♀️ (I did just get a Homalomena ‘Pink Diamond’ and don’t regret what I paid)
Think I'm a little ahead of the curve on stag horns. Got pretty much each type offered on fern factory, the starter plugs on etsy are hit or miss with most being sporlings that take forever. Not willing to risk the money for imports.
I like how the variegated alocasia are getting. I prize jewel alocasia mainly for their leaf shape and textures, and bar the Frydek, disliked the variegation cause it looked more like bird poop than attractive. 😂 You introduced me to that stunning V. Jacklyn, and I think I’d love to see jewels like A scalprum or A platinum with crisp variegation on them. Or an A mellow leaf texture with A azlani colors. 🤯 Thanks and keep up the great content!
Aroid plants have been my favorite since i started my plant collection. Me personally i have about 100 plants and i tend to buy them based on how they look. the genus to me doesnt matter. That being said, the anthuriums and alocasias are probably my least favorite types of plants, they dont like me :( honestly im hoping to see a spike in the the variegated philodendrons like the orange princess and spirit sancti. hoping to also add a variegated florida beauth and a florida ghost as well. its honestly crazy to me how having 100 plants my list is still long and it doesnt seem like i actually have that many. hoping to maybe see a larger selection of the monstera mint and aurea as well!
I think anthurium hybrids will remain very popular until the market gets oversaturated by all of the variants. It is already very confusing to customers. Just watch any ecuagenera live sale. I think this will reach a tipping point until that market crashes. As for variegation, it has become so widespread that people can be picky in their choices. We'll probably see a move towards stable variegation.
I wonder why the natural forms have become pretty much a niche in the hobby. People seemed way more interested in them when they still cost hundreds of dollars. Now it appears like that only cultivars and variegated plants are worth having.
I can sense that the variegated anthuriums will be the upcoming trend for next year. Lots of hybrids and color spectrum. Well, at least the trend here in Indonesia 😊 Nice vid tho 👍🙏
I guess it’s because I’m just getting into the hobby but most of these plants are just not visually appealing , for me at least . I’m still stuck on the alocasias and monstera d. type of plants or anything that looks remotely exotic . Most of the heart shaped leaves just look so darn ugly to me 😂 I don’t get the hype yet

i second this!
Agreed!!
I made the last video 25 minutes for y’all 💚
You're not the only one I love his videos p!
I actually find this shorter video format refreshing, most plant TH-camrs I got bored of because they only make long-format videos with little content or I just watch in 1.25x or even 1.5x because they linger too much.
The way you say Alocasia 😅😂 I’m so excited for 2024 plants!!
I get goosebumps 😂😂😂😂😂
Lolll how do you say it 😂
Alloh-cushi-(uh) 😂
lmao its supposed to be Allo-Kay-sha/jha.. like the word allocation.. but allocatia..@@prettyingreen
or better yet- Aloc-Asia. just like you pronounce Asia. @@prettyingreen
LOVE THIS! The amount of research you do leads to a fantastic end result. Thanks for sharing!

What a visually appealing video- you found some beautiful pictures to share. Thank you! Love that you promote others in this industry too.
Thank you so much for noticing 😊🙌
Ok soooo turns out I say ALOCASIA WEIRD! 😂
No he says it weird
It took me a second to realize what you were saying. I've never heard anyone pronounce it that way. But it's your video, you say it however you want. 😊
Taxonomist here! Allow-Kay-sia. He says it wrong
Not really, you're actually closer than most english-speakers. Alocasia is latin and even latin experts do not agree on the pronunciation of the language but it's definitely not Allow-kay-sia; that is english pronunciation. The closest phonetic spelling I can think of for English-speakers would be Allo-kas-sia (Allo is just like how you guys pronounce aloe).
Okay. Youre entitled to your opinion!

Great video once again! Dark Anthuriums and variegated Alocasia all the way 100% Personally I LOVE staghorns but I'd be shocked if our market moved in that direction.
Thank you!! 🙌 I completely agree I’d be shocked if we went in the staghorn direction, but I think they’re soo cool looking!!!
What I find interesting is that in Asia they are obsessed with the dwarf and silvery white trichome covered platycerium varites but they seem to be way more suitable for the type on environment you'd get in most European or American homes. A lot of the serious collectors out there have to climate control rooms to get the more mild conditions these ferns prefer. I would love to see these crazy plants become more popular in the west.
Personally I'm still interested in seeing some new aroid genera and non aroids plants to become available .
Yes, same!
I saw the Platycerium in videos of the plant show, it's nice to see something else than Aroids. I plan to add some Epiphytes to my collection, among which a Staghorn Fern
This was a great idea for a video and you didn’t an excellent job! Thank you!
Even though monsteras have been dropping I think they are too popular and will always be hot in the market. Especially the newer variegation types
As an Asian, yeah, what Sean from Onlyplants said, Staghorn Ferns are coming in very very strong within Asian hobbyist,
I think it started from last 1-2 years ago when a Platycerium won the award for most prized plant collection in hobby in Taiwan, since then Platycerium has made a slow climb to fame with many dedicated sellers and various degrees of Staghorn fern forms and sizes (some just the size of your palm at it’s max size)
Perhaps due to Asian having a more limited and constrained spaces, vertical plants like Staghorn ferns will always has a place, and how so many Asian has grown them like an art display, framed, with a spotlight shining a light on it, it is a nice plant to have if you only one a few but display it nicely within your interior (Kawanrusa from aloneinoasis or Benjiplant did this)
In fact, I’m actually kinda surprised the West didn’t catch on this trend at all 😅
But apart from that, I myself have decided to finally give Caudex plant a try after the price has slowly declined down and finally got myself a Phyllanthus mirabilis, (give me 2 more months and I’ll finally add more into my Platycerium collection, been eyeing a really narrow and long Platycerium willincki along with a many fingered one)

I can't wait for 2024 to see who was on point in the trends! 😊
That variegated money tree, can be imported from Taiwan for $8-20 each, even cheaper if purchased locally.
Literally my 2024 wish list. Anthuriums, variegated Alocasias, and more carnivorous plants. And a couple more Hoyas then I’ll be satisfied there. I guess I’m not alone in the first 2.

I live in NZ variegated Alocasias and Anthurium are super popular atm also the mint and aurea monsteras and there's a loyal crew of Syngonium collectors myself included.
Never heard anyone say alocashia haha
Sorry. ALOE-CAY-SHE-ahhhhhh
As a die-hard philodendron freak, I really want to get more DARK leafed anthuriums like anthurium pap x-one
Variegated Philodendron Darklord is really beautiful
A Florida beauty without variegation is just called Phil. Florida.
Homalomenas are so great. And really really great growers. I had one that turned into 6, and they've been very pest resistant for me too.
Just keep what you like and enjoy 😊
i completely agree with philodendron hybrids being the next big thing and same for monstera species variants. i do see more anthuriums as well but theyre still really not super popular with my plant friends, dont get me wrong they like the anthuriums, i got a few myself but eh, i see them still being a little more niche consumers than persay the philos, monstera, epipremnums.i think this is the year of the variegated/hybrid philo/monstera
More TC pls.... Would safe more Forests...
What is beautiful will prosper. I’m really into billietiae right now, I think it’s got promise

My real ick is how he says alo-KASHYA. Love the series though ;D

(I did just get a Homalomena ‘Pink Diamond’ and don’t regret what I paid)
This is a VERY succinct analysis of the market! I’m with you on the buying hold for now 😄
I'm proud to say I have Variegated Philodendron Darklord and Alocasia Macrorrhizos Plumbea Variegata!!! proudly Philippines
Pink variegations the way to go.
I agree! I’m loving the pink Alocasias
Think I'm a little ahead of the curve on stag horns. Got pretty much each type offered on fern factory, the starter plugs on etsy are hit or miss with most being sporlings that take forever. Not willing to risk the money for imports.
It's gonna be the 20 Dollar Thai Constellations.
My immediate thought was staghorn ferns as well. I think we are on the cusp of their popularity exploding
I’ve never heard it said like the Kashi cereal before
I’m clearly fluent in Ancient Greek & Latin 😂
I like how the variegated alocasia are getting. I prize jewel alocasia mainly for their leaf shape and textures, and bar the Frydek, disliked the variegation cause it looked more like bird poop than attractive. 😂

Black delta force. Write that down.
ive been wanting a variegated money tree for atleast 2 years now 😵💫 i hope the price doesnt rise
You forgot to ask Techplant.
🫨
Don’t start- the last thing the world needs is a tin foil shortage this close to Xmas 😂😂😂
I bought a small variegated money tree from a private seller for 50€. I have never seen another variegated one available.
That’s awesome!
Aroid plants have been my favorite since i started my plant collection. Me personally i have about 100 plants and i tend to buy them based on how they look. the genus to me doesnt matter.

I’m gonna start doing my own tissue culture like “plants in jars”. I can make some money off these plants
I can sense that the variegated anthuriums will be the upcoming trend for next year. Lots of hybrids and color spectrum. Well, at least the trend here in Indonesia 😊 Nice vid tho 👍🙏
Meanwhile I started with alocasia as a indoor plants
My alocasia bloomed. It was uneventful 😂. I’ve never heard alocasia pronounced the way you do. I say Al -oh-cay-shuh. Anyone else?
Hahahaha ok you are not the only one who has said this 😂
@@prettyingreen ❤️
Because Americans can't fathom words being pronounced a different way from how Americans automatically interpret them
The Variegated Alocasia is already very popular in Europe.
I bet!!
Homalomena tricolor, I'll have that plant if it takes me a lifetime 😂
oh Man! I have been say "Alocasia" all these time!
Ha I say it wrong apparently!
Bummer, alocasia is not my favorite, beautiful but just not my cup of tea.
Loved the video❤
They’re beautiful plants, but not my favorite either
Strappy anthium please
LOL plant trends
Evening. How is your horse 🐴 doing? I haven't seen your videos lately. But I am curious. Have a good day
I’m sorry what
Alokosha
It's AL-OH-CAY-SHUH
I still CAN’T SAY Alocasia right 😂 #shorts #alocasia #tissueculture

Ridiculous these prizes, Gonna propagate them and give them away if they also give at least 2 propagations away!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏🏼
I guess it’s because I’m just getting into the hobby but most of these plants are just not visually appealing , for me at least . I’m still stuck on the alocasias and monstera d. type of plants or anything that looks remotely exotic . Most of the heart shaped leaves just look so darn ugly to me 😂 I don’t get the hype yet
Honestly this is the best way to be into plants! Find plants you love and buy them. Don’t buy things bc of the hype!
Personally, I have zero intrest in anything that is variegated.
lol the way you say alocasia.. 🤡
I’m sure you speak Ancient Greek
Dang it- I can already tell I’m about to break the “no spider mite magnets in the plant room” rule for more pink varigation 🫣😂😍
