I’m somewhat of a weirdo, I guess, because I don’t like variegated plants. Although I think your frydek is beautiful, I still prefer the regular frydek. And, as for the warquenum, no no no it doesn’t need variegation, it gorgeous the way it is.
The Delta Force is also not guaranteed with that cross. I believe a true delta force was only created once. It’s some kind of mutation during the crossing of the two. Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
yes, DF was a mutant offspring. it's in TC now so prices are coming down. still, because of perceived rarity, there will be people selling dupes, so you your due diligence before throwing down $$$
Delta Force originates from one unique specimen and can only be attained from cutting or tissue culture. It can't be recreated just by crossing clarinervium and pedatoradiatum, although many have tried. Kaylee Ellen at The Rare Plant Shop in the U.K. was selling them for 150 pounds (I bought one and imported it to the U.S. and it was STILL cheaper than what a lot of people are selling them for here). DF is confirmed in tissue culture by some large labs so you might be able to get yours hands on one for a decent price in the next year or two!
I love varigated plants but varigated Anthurium to me look like they are dying LOL. Ive never seen one before today. I kinda hope they trend in 2024, maybe the green variety i actually like will go down in price LOL
agree, they look like they are diseased. there are so many things you can admire anthuriums for, the natural variability is insane. you hardly see the same venation, colour, texture, sinuses etc. between plants of the same ID (some exceptions to this). i suppose the downside of this is that they hold their value pretty well, in the world of anthuriums you often pay for certain desired characteristics, or the insanely priced one offs that will never be seen as not prestigious etc. (offsets of some of the papillilaminum forms, crosses like the circus peanuts etc.) the only chance of these getting more affordable is TC (like the Delta Force)
The yellowish plants or super pale green variegated ones do for me too. White, pink, or bright true yellow half leaves don't look sick. But some of the others do yeah.
For my collection, I get inspired by what I see on TH-cam, but then I go see what's available in my area and go from there. I love buying for less than 20 bucks but I will pay more for something extra special at one of the local greenhouses. You shared some really beautiful plants here. Thank you. I'm willing to wait for prices to come down.
Honestly I don't get the hype around variegated plants. Unless they have *perfect* conditions they look ill in my opinion. I prefer the green forms so much more. Plus, luckily for me they're cheaper because of the variegation hype 😂
I totally agree with you on multiple points…some plants are just so beautiful in their “natural” state…and to me, a lot of the variegated varieties (as beautiful as they can be) remind me of bird poop on the leaves😂. I do love the variegated rhapi though!! Great video 🌿♥️have a great holiday season!🎄🪴🎅🏼✨
Love learning from you! Have you heard the expression, “gild the lily”? I feel like it perfectly expresses what you are trying to say about plants that have been unnecessarily “improved” with variegation.
I was at a plant show a few weeks ago and bought a 3D printed No Face bud vase for $5 and the seller gave me 5 syngonium cuttings. One of them I chose was the syngonium chiapense! I picked it because it was so different. I absolutely love it and it’s growing very nice little roots. Best $5 I’ve ever spent. Also a tip is go to shows in the last hour sellers mark things down like crazy. I also got a 2” addisonii mint var for an amazing price.
Some of these variegated plants are just not nice. I can see why they produce all the variegated plants they can, but as consumers we really need to be honest with ourselves about whether the plant looks nice or not! Some just look diseased, or like a sick bird smeared droppings all over them. 🫣 There’s definitely a few variegated Alocasias on my list, and the variegated Chiapense. I haven’t seen a variegated Anthurium that I’d actually want in my home. The dark ones absolutely though! 😍
I completely get what you mean about the variegated anthuriums, dark green velvety anthuriums are perfectly stunning as they are... Also Dean's garden centre is the best!
I’ve recently found your account and good Lord your voice is SOOOOOOOOO soothing lol. I’m just at work listening to you talk about plants and it’s so relaxing. Thanks for your content!! Heart❤
I think dark velvety anthurium are going tosour next year..I don't get the hype around variegated plants. They are pretty, well some of them! I'd take a big velvety philodendron or anthurium plant. I'm sizing up my Dubia and I hope to get a Burle Marx Flame next year, along with some dark and sexii anthurium to cross. I've a Dark mama and a few Doc Blocks plus a beautiful Crystal Mag X with a SKG. However my big Clarinervium bush is my OG fav... Merry Christmas to you, Ross and Joli when it comes 💚
In my opinion variegation is overrated. I think leaf shapes and sizes are so much more interesting! I also prefer blooming plants which I know are less popular in the houseplant community. But I'm not complaining because it keeps the prices low on the plants I like 😂
It depends on the plant to me if the variagation works or not. If it looks like something the plant naturally does, like golden pothos or such, it looks good. But forcing an antherium to be variegated looks odd to me .
I didn’t know I wanted a burle marx flame until seeing it in person. It’s an extremely slow grower so I don’t think it will drop in price very much. Although it is in TC, it’s still a slower grower. The texture is probably my favorite because the leaves are very thick, almost similar to a snake plant.
It's not true that the burle marx flame is a slow grower. Not at all. It grows just as fast as for example a small form Monstera deliciosa, about 1 leaf/3,5-4 weeks. It grows slower because people don't give theirs enough light - the BMF is an extremely light-hungry plant, much more so than your typical Monstera deliciosa.
There are mint monstera seedlings in the US for 180ish dollars (in certain Etsy shops), so they’re most likely already in tissue culture! I’m going to wait until it drops to at least 50-70 before considering getting one. They are gorgeous plants!!
I have my Chiapense climbing a large piece of driftwood, she’s a big staple piece in our living room. 10/10 recommend this beautiful plant, it’s very easy to keep it happy.
Hi Claire, great prediction list 👍 I’m with you, I don’t like many yellow variegated plants. Most of them look sick to me 🤷♀️ The Syngonium Chiapense green or variegated is beautiful. They are hard to find in Canada 😀🇨🇦
Claire, your variegated Frydek is so gorgeous. I just of a baby non variegated one to start out with. If all goes well I will get a variegated one. What have you noticed to be the big difference between the two? Love your videos! I learned pon from you and the plants I transferred so far LOVE it!
Claire, too funny. I literally bought a Euphorbia Lactea Ghost Cactus today for $30. I haven’t heard of it before but I saw it at the shop and had to have it. I’ve gotten really picky about cacti as I only have one small south facing window where they’re happy 9 months of the year and tolerant the other 3 months. The ghost made my heart pitter patter. Hopefully she’ll be okay for the next 2+ months. I wouldn’t have paid UK prices, but they’ll probably come down in price over there if they are so inexpensive here. Patience! 😺
This was a fantastic prediction list, and I completely agree about variegated Anthurium. Also, if you think Syngonium Chiapense is cool you should Google the mature form; the size is absolutely insane!
I really enjoyed your plant trends for 2024 video. I prefer to pick my plants on what I think looks beautiful, as opposed to following trends. Variegated plants look awesome, but I have found can be a struggle to grow. Either they lose their variegation or die. Unless, I had a green house, new trending plants could be a very expensive hobby. I'll wait for the trends to die out, then buy.
Variegated gloriosum is on top of my wishlist but the varegation must be top noch to buy. The Florida beauty x Tortum or x with Mayoi is also high up on my wishlist 😍 👌
there’s also syngonium macrophylla i think they’re a bit cheaper than the chiapense and super similar looking. i’ve been obsessed w syngonium stetermarkii lately also!
Can't wait to see what the "IT" plants of 2024 are going to be! 🌱✨ Your predictions are always on point, and I'm already making space in my home for the next big trends. Thanks for keeping us ahead of the curve!
The only variegated anthurium I like is the Vittarifolium. I’ve been waiting for the price to come down. I finally got one this week for a decent price and it has an offset! So, I have 2 plants which made the price almost equivalent to my regular Vittarifolium! I’m so happy with it!
I have an actual Delta Force, and I paid $$$$$. I'm about to propagate it. She's being big. I always enjoy your vids. Such beautiful plants. My cClair also took about 8 months to get seeds from. I selfed it, also.
So, in germany you can get (from non commercial seller) a Monstera mint cutting for around 100€ and baby plants for around 150-300€. I even found bigger plants, for example my favourite plant shop sells a mint for 600€ and it’s 60cm high. My hope is that it’s gonna be cheaper at the end of the year. 😅
i believe the phrase is 'gilding the lily', which is particularly fitting given the botanical subject. apparently one of your local playwrights had something to do with the phrase ;-)
LOVE the drama of the Delta Force! 🙌🏻 So stunning and so sadly not in the budget😂 Ok. This may be controversial but a lot of variegated anthurium look like they have fungus or water damage to me and I have to look twice at them. Idk- maybe they will grow on me🤷🏻♀️
DF is in tissue culture now, I have seen it for 120€ in Germany and those where confirmed clones. I give it half a year and it is going to be everywhere ;).
I think the variegated anthuriums are mostly ugly. Why ruine a beatiful leaf shape with striking veins with splotches that look lie it is suffering from pests or a watering problem?
not only the fact the look like someone splashed bleach on them, but the way some of them get so deformed like the mint adansonii. they just look sick🤢 and what makes it worse is you see people under the comments praising how “beautiful” they are.
Generally, I'm not into variegated plants. I like plants that have white veining for example, or white Caladiums, or plants that have natural varigation like Euonymus Japonicus, or Manjula Pothos, but while half moon leaves look amazing as they're new, I don't care for how they look as they're more mature. I also don't care for the idea of breeding to make a plant ill; or to pay absurd "rare" plant prices; I think basically people are looking for exclusivity in vegetation, and there's something in that, which makes me uncomfortable.
@@Anil18834 heavy on breeding to make a plant ill. i’ve been seeing people buying cheap ring of fires at grocery stores and they end up by definition withering away. i feel like now a lot of sellers are trying to force the new “it” plant to happen by putting them through tissue culture just for a variegated one without caring about making sure to use strong mothers
I like variegated leaves in the shadows of my outdoor garden. Inside the house I like the dark green leaves against the natural reddish wood tones. I’m with you on variegated plants.
monstera mint are on Etsy right now (May 25, 2024) for $103. it’s just a baby plant, but your prediction has come true, and the price may fall even more this year.
You can't "create" a Delta Force. Yes it's a cross of clarinervium x pedatoradiatum, but the "Delta Force" was one of many hundred seedlings that showed very different traits to all the others. It's basically an one-off mutation. But it's been in tissue culture already and therefore price for that specific clone "Delta Force" will inevitable drop quickly. They're already sold for under 130€ in Germany.
I got into live plants through the aquarium hobby so most of my plants are aquatic or semi aquatic plants that live in flood zones My favorite plant I have right now is my pink flamingo crypt It can be grown immersed or submerged🦩🌱💙🔥
I got a baby Monstera Burle Marx Flame a few months ago for a little under 200 euros (roughly 170 pounds). It's actually a pretty fast grower. Mine will likely get its first fenestrated leaf next and it's started to put out aerial roots, so I need to get myself a moss pole pretty soon.
I don’t follow trends, I just try to find plants I love the look of, can survive in my house, and aren’t expensive. If it fits those three qualifications, then yay!! 😂💚
I have learned a lot from you! Love ur videos! Want to prop n chop like boss! That’s how I see u.. I am not doing as well as u! 😂😂 also only at 80 plants. Not sure I can handle the amount u have!! Yikes! Love ur poochie too ❤
Great video and spot on imho. Dark anthurium, hybrids, and variegated anything don’t seem to be going away. Monstera albo has surprisingly held its price high in the states this year. Wins the price retention award of the year which is why I finally broke down at year end and got a highly variegated one. Too pretty not to own. I think hybrids will continue to flood the market in 2024 for sure.
Repeating a cross yourself won't necessarily net you the same result, inheritance is a little dicey (recombination) so the outcome can have variation (in some cases quite a lot).
I own a syngonium chiapense frosted heart and it is one of my favorite plants period. I think it's variegation is far more interesting than the normal white variegation.
I'm always kind of surprised synonym aren't more popular, chiapense is on my list but I have erythophyllum, rayii, and wendlandii and they are really awesome plants, wendlandii hates you if you don't water it constantly, but the other two are really not difficult at all.
Caladium squashed frog? 😅 I think you maybe mean frog in a blender? But yeah, putting a frog in a blender would be quite squashed 😂 love your videos Claire ❤ wish you and your boyfriend a Merry Christmas 🎄 🤶
I’m not into anthuriums much myself, I’ve got so many other funky rare plants on my wishlist. Plus nor a lot of variegated plants are on my list either, I’m fearful they wouldn’t look great in my low humidity
Ouch. I bought my Anthurium Pedatoradiatum Fingers for $20 at the beginning of November. My Clairi was $60 (flowering size). I bought them at the same time. It’s interesting to see what prices are in different areas.
I hate syngonium, indoors it was a nightmare with spidermites, and now I'm in a sub-tropical climate it is a weed choking every corner of my garden and I don't think I'll ever be rid of it 😭😭 the chiapense is beautiful but I'm too scared to have it near me lol
I am fairly new to collecting plants.. I love cactus but living in NE it has not been great…😞 have lost some but doing the whole grow light thing for them. I went crazy on the Hoya train bc of u.. 😂❤. Lot of plants r babies so gonna be min before I can say I want a plant! They r a lot of work as babies but I feel it’s more affordable n love to see how big they will be one day! I also have some ephorbia bc of u but not the ingens yet! L my most expensive plant has been the pink princess on Black Friday! 😂
I'm not particularly into trendy plants. The biggest reason is probably that I'm not on social media, except for TH-cam, and the fact that I have a limited budget, and limited space. I love plants, but I also love clean and tidy spaces. Not that I'm a minimalist, but I get overwhelmed easily. I also get upset when plants look scraggly, so I tend to go for easy care plants. I've killed so many plants over the last year. The plant I really want right now is a Chlorophytum orchidastrum green orange, which I cannot find. I might have to settle for an Aglaonema orange flame.
Aglaonema Cutlass comes to mind for that time period. I honestly don’t particularly like them now because I think of them as old lady plants. Now I’m the old lady but I don’t like old lady plants. 😂
I don't understand the concept of plants that go into or out of fashion. They're plants. Their genus has existed for hundreds and thousands of years. I also don't understand the idea of astronomical plant prices under the guise of "rarity". I'm Colombian. Philedendron, Monsteras, Anthuriums, etc., abound in my country. Exotic or "rare" to me is a Foxglove, a tulip, or an iris. International trade exists. It's established. A 3-4 leaf Anthurium Waroqueanum with 18 in/ 45 cm size leaves, retails for roughly $25.00 USD. I understand phytosanitary permits, product loss, transport and commercial costs, but current market prices, don't justify the difference.
For some reason I absolutely don’t like the type of plants you have the most of. Just not my vibe. However, I absolutely love seeing your plants and how much you love them! I’m more a succulent (haworthia and Gasteria lithops guy that dabbles in Dracaena) Thanks for teaching so many people and spreading the joy of indoor gardens!
I'm not the biggest fan of variegation either. I sometimes see individual leaves that have created a gorgeous variation, but overall their just not interesting to me. I love a striking contrast between leaf and vein color and leaf shape and color. I'm also crazy about leaf texture. I don't go for the trends, I'm more of a plant rescuer😅 I love finding half dead ones on clearance and nursing them back to health 🪴🩺
Delta force is a named specimen/clone of that cross. People are starting to tissue culture it, even with the hype I don't think it will go bellow 100 usd for years.
You unfortunately can’t just make a DF as it was a one off from that cross. It’s been the only one to show those traits. Therefore, It can only be done via stem cuttings or TC. They have come down hundreds in the last year and you can currently pick them up for £250. They have been in TC and the markets will be flooded soon enough.
Definitely dont waste your money trying this suggestion, True delta force is only available from clone , hence its now in tc and available for a couple of hundred pounds, in 2024 , it will become readily available, as they get imported from Thailand in volume.
The only variegated plant I genuinely think is beautiful and would like to own is a variegated frydek. It makes me sad that the anthuriums are falling into the variegated fad like every other plant it seems like lately. Anthuriums are SO stunning all on their own. Gosh so stunning. Why make them look ill 😅
I'm so sad that the upcoming trends are mostly variegated or hybrid forms. It gets so boring and most of the variegation looks sick to me. I don't know, am I the only one who thinks the mint variegation looks like a virus? I am in love with the dramatic look of velvety dark leaves. I love them so much and I think variegation takes so much away from them
Your most "trendy" plant, its leaves are a work of art. There's no way around that. I'm a budget plant mum. I generally try look through the supermarket stock to see if they got something variegated by mistake. lol I also can't have any house plants too demanding because at this time of year all my south facing windows are filled with all the pepper and tomato plants I had left over from what I wanted outside. But at the end of the day, it all adds up to the same. Wanting to be surrounded by plants in your home. Hang on.. Didn't they try to sell the monstera mint as if it had varigation that was like a philodendron silver sword in proper blotches? I'm not really a fan of the marbled effect.
Ok what is up with the Amydrium plants/spider man plant? I felt like they just appeared, no biggie, no hype, people own them apparently, but it was like they were always around? I've never even heard of them before. But the green form is so Pretty!
Because we're all living in a super fast-paced world nowadays with social media. Social media personalities need to have the coolest, fanciest, most rare plants to impress and gain more viewers/followers and those people are blown away by those plants (and often also just because they're "rare") and will put them on their endlessly growing and never ending "wishlists".
Don’t be put off a burle Marx flame, I have two and both have given me 8 leaves each this year, roughly a new leaf every 7 weeks. My anthurium regale has given me two leaves this year, and that is most certainly slow! So don’t listen to people that say BMF are slow growers, they are not, and growth pretty similar to a standard monstera deliciosa.
2:33 LISTEN TO HER SHE IS TELLING THE TRUTH. I got into plants because I saw a pink princess philodendron and at the time, a nice one would run you $300. I got one last year at Home Depot for 10 bucks. It was actually three separate mature plants and a few smaller ones. Just wait. That plant will get cheaper. Edit: looks like a giant marble queen pothos 8:54

I believe Steve Nock created it in the nineties. So, the only way to get one is to get a clone of that original plant.

So, in germany you can get (from non commercial seller) a Monstera mint cutting for around 100€ and baby plants for around 150-300€. I even found bigger plants, for example my favourite plant shop sells a mint for 600€ and it’s 60cm high. My hope is that it’s gonna be cheaper at the end of the year. 😅
i believe the phrase is 'gilding the lily', which is particularly fitting given the botanical subject. apparently one of your local playwrights had something to do with the phrase ;-)
Claire the whipple way is also being TC so many of these plants you’re showing the nursery where I get my TC has them
LOVE the drama of the Delta Force! 🙌🏻 So stunning and so sadly not in the budget😂
Ok. This may be controversial but a lot of variegated anthurium look like they have fungus or water damage to me and I have to look twice at them. Idk- maybe they will grow on me🤷🏻♀️
DF is in tissue culture now, I have seen it for 120€ in Germany and those where confirmed clones. I give it half a year and it is going to be everywhere ;).
I think the variegated anthuriums are mostly ugly. Why ruine a beatiful leaf shape with striking veins with splotches that look lie it is suffering from pests or a watering problem?
not only the fact the look like someone splashed bleach on them, but the way some of them get so deformed like the mint adansonii. they just look sick🤢 and what makes it worse is you see people under the comments praising how “beautiful” they are.
Generally, I'm not into variegated plants. I like plants that have white veining for example, or white Caladiums, or plants that have natural varigation like Euonymus Japonicus, or Manjula Pothos, but while half moon leaves look amazing as they're new, I don't care for how they look as they're more mature.
I also don't care for the idea of breeding to make a plant ill; or to pay absurd "rare" plant prices; I think basically people are looking for exclusivity in vegetation, and there's something in that, which makes me uncomfortable.
@@Anil18834 heavy on breeding to make a plant ill. i’ve been seeing people buying cheap ring of fires at grocery stores and they end up by definition withering away. i feel like now a lot of sellers are trying to force the new “it” plant to happen by putting them through tissue culture just for a variegated one without caring about making sure to use strong mothers
I like variegated leaves in the shadows of my outdoor garden. Inside the house I like the dark green leaves against the natural reddish wood tones. I’m with you on variegated plants.
I just ordered a white ghost off Etsy. Fingers crossed it is nice. Was only $25
monstera mint are on Etsy right now (May 25, 2024) for $103. it’s just a baby plant, but your prediction has come true, and the price may fall even more this year.
I hope Aglaonema Tri-Color Pictum is on your list!
You can't "create" a Delta Force. Yes it's a cross of clarinervium x pedatoradiatum, but the "Delta Force" was one of many hundred seedlings that showed very different traits to all the others. It's basically an one-off mutation. But it's been in tissue culture already and therefore price for that specific clone "Delta Force" will inevitable drop quickly. They're already sold for under 130€ in Germany.
Fuzzy petiole.
Variegated leaves.
I think one feature at a time.
Think black sweater dress with just one striking accessory.
I got into live plants through the aquarium hobby so most of my plants are aquatic or semi aquatic plants that live in flood zones My favorite plant I have right now is my pink flamingo crypt It can be grown immersed or submerged🦩🌱💙🔥
9:47 “gilding the lily” is a euphemism that would fit that description.
I agree with your stance on variegated anthuriums. If I stumbled upon one from breeding, I would keep it. But I wouldn't go out of my way to buy one.
I got a baby Monstera Burle Marx Flame a few months ago for a little under 200 euros (roughly 170 pounds). It's actually a pretty fast grower. Mine will likely get its first fenestrated leaf next and it's started to put out aerial roots, so I need to get myself a moss pole pretty soon.
I just bought a anthurium Vittarifolium variegated. I paid $150. She’s a small plant but well rooted
I don’t follow trends, I just try to find plants I love the look of, can survive in my house, and aren’t expensive. If it fits those three qualifications, then yay!! 😂💚
I have learned a lot from you! Love ur videos! Want to prop n chop like boss! That’s how I see u.. I am not doing as well as u! 😂😂 also only at 80 plants. Not sure I can handle the amount u have!! Yikes! Love ur poochie too ❤
Great video and spot on imho. Dark anthurium, hybrids, and variegated anything don’t seem to be going away. Monstera albo has surprisingly held its price high in the states this year. Wins the price retention award of the year which is why I finally broke down at year end and got a highly variegated one. Too pretty not to own. I think hybrids will continue to flood the market in 2024 for sure.
Repeating a cross yourself won't necessarily net you the same result, inheritance is a little dicey (recombination) so the outcome can have variation (in some cases quite a lot).
I own a syngonium chiapense frosted heart and it is one of my favorite plants period. I think it's variegation is far more interesting than the normal white variegation.
I'm always kind of surprised synonym aren't more popular, chiapense is on my list but I have erythophyllum, rayii, and wendlandii and they are really awesome plants, wendlandii hates you if you don't water it constantly, but the other two are really not difficult at all.
@@Gee-xb7rt Syngonium are awesome to grow. Philodendron on the other hand are not as easy as one might think.
@@AcrylDame Yeah, I have problems with philodendron, I don't think I have any currently.
@@Gee-xb7rt Sodiroi, Splendid and Verrucosum Sunset and Amazonas are easy for me. But a lot of my others tear their leaves and get lots of pests.
Forgot the Burle Marx, that one is also easy
Thanks ~
Hi Claire. Just subscribed, loved it. Have you ever propagated Japanese maples or is it just houseplants you specialise.
Hi, I was wondering what type of rooting solution do you use?
Caladium squashed frog? 😅 I think you maybe mean frog in a blender? But yeah, putting a frog in a blender would be quite squashed 😂 love your videos Claire ❤ wish you and your boyfriend a Merry Christmas 🎄 🤶
I totally agree about the clarinervium. Its strength is in the contrast… so striking. To each his own though, but I have better uses for my money.
I’m not into anthuriums much myself, I’ve got so many other funky rare plants on my wishlist. Plus nor a lot of variegated plants are on my list either, I’m fearful they wouldn’t look great in my low humidity
Ouch. I bought my Anthurium Pedatoradiatum Fingers for $20 at the beginning of November. My Clairi was $60 (flowering size). I bought them at the same time. It’s interesting to see what prices are in different areas.
Do you use grow light for plant?
Oh I loved the video, but disappointed there weren’t many Hoyas which I love.
The euphorbia lactea white ghost babies here in greece are 6 euros. But they are tiny babies. I may get one! Thanks for the recommendation ❤
I hate syngonium, indoors it was a nightmare with spidermites, and now I'm in a sub-tropical climate it is a weed choking every corner of my garden and I don't think I'll ever be rid of it 😭😭 the chiapense is beautiful but I'm too scared to have it near me lol
I am fairly new to collecting plants.. I love cactus but living in NE it has not been great…😞 have lost some but doing the whole grow light thing for them. I went crazy on the Hoya train bc of u.. 😂❤. Lot of plants r babies so gonna be min before I can say I want a plant! They r a lot of work as babies but I feel it’s more affordable n love to see how big they will be one day! I also have some ephorbia bc of u but not the ingens yet! L my most expensive plant has been the pink princess on Black Friday! 😂
I'm not particularly into trendy plants. The biggest reason is probably that I'm not on social media, except for TH-cam, and the fact that I have a limited budget, and limited space. I love plants, but I also love clean and tidy spaces. Not that I'm a minimalist, but I get overwhelmed easily. I also get upset when plants look scraggly, so I tend to go for easy care plants. I've killed so many plants over the last year.
The plant I really want right now is a Chlorophytum orchidastrum green orange, which I cannot find. I might have to settle for an Aglaonema orange flame.
1st one here youtube finally notified me I'm not a plant trend person I still love plants that were popular in the 70's n 80's actually
Aglaonema Cutlass comes to mind for that time period. I honestly don’t particularly like them now because I think of them as old lady plants. Now I’m the old lady but I don’t like old lady plants. 😂
I don't understand the concept of plants that go into or out of fashion. They're plants. Their genus has existed for hundreds and thousands of years. I also don't understand the idea of astronomical plant prices under the guise of "rarity". I'm Colombian. Philedendron, Monsteras, Anthuriums, etc., abound in my country. Exotic or "rare" to me is a Foxglove, a tulip, or an iris.
International trade exists. It's established. A 3-4 leaf Anthurium Waroqueanum with 18 in/ 45 cm size leaves, retails for roughly $25.00 USD. I understand phytosanitary permits, product loss, transport and commercial costs, but current market prices, don't justify the difference.
great top
The Euphoria Lactea White Ghost is the ONLY plant on my 2024 wishlist.
For some reason I absolutely don’t like the type of plants you have the most of. Just not my vibe. However, I absolutely love seeing your plants and how much you love them!
I’m more a succulent (haworthia and Gasteria lithops guy that dabbles in Dracaena)
Thanks for teaching so many people and spreading the joy of indoor gardens!
I need at least one of these!
You can tell Papillilaminum better, juat part it: "Papi-Lila-Minum". That helps me a lot :)
I'm not the biggest fan of variegation either. I sometimes see individual leaves that have created a gorgeous variation, but overall their just not interesting to me. I love a striking contrast between leaf and vein color and leaf shape and color. I'm also crazy about leaf texture. I don't go for the trends, I'm more of a plant rescuer😅 I love finding half dead ones on clearance and nursing them back to health 🪴🩺
Variegated aroids. Groundbreaking.
28:56 I have several reverted variegated rhaphidophora tetrasperma 😢
😢
Delta force is a named specimen/clone of that cross. People are starting to tissue culture it, even with the hype I don't think it will go bellow 100 usd for years.
Just acquired a codonanthe crassifolia from work, anyone know anything about them? There’s very little that I can find online!
I just bought a euphorbia ghost for $29.99 here in the USA
Delta Force is in TC now, so I would expect that the prices are going to drop majorly next year.
Is that 'The Carpet," from the balcony you're sitting on?
You unfortunately can’t just make a DF as it was a one off from that cross. It’s been the only one to show those traits. Therefore, It can only be done via stem cuttings or TC. They have come down hundreds in the last year and you can currently pick them up for £250. They have been in TC and the markets will be flooded soon enough.
Definitely dont waste your money trying this suggestion, True delta force is only available from clone , hence its now in tc and available for a couple of hundred pounds, in 2024 , it will become readily available, as they get imported from Thailand in volume.
The only variegated plant I genuinely think is beautiful and would like to own is a variegated frydek. It makes me sad that the anthuriums are falling into the variegated fad like every other plant it seems like lately. Anthuriums are SO stunning all on their own. Gosh so stunning. Why make them look ill 😅
to each its own but those variegated anthuriums are ugly has hell. They look sick like they're infested with bugs or have root rot. Hard pass lol
the code doesnt work for the plant lights
Ohh I’m also so over all the variegated plants… half the time I prefer the regular kind. It doesn’t improve they look sickly.
I love more dark anthuriuns than variegated... Is more mistic
I'm so sad that the upcoming trends are mostly variegated or hybrid forms. It gets so boring and most of the variegation looks sick to me. I don't know, am I the only one who thinks the mint variegation looks like a virus?
I am in love with the dramatic look of velvety dark leaves. I love them so much and I think variegation takes so much away from them
Your most "trendy" plant, its leaves are a work of art. There's no way around that.
I'm a budget plant mum. I generally try look through the supermarket stock to see if they got something variegated by mistake. lol I also can't have any house plants too demanding because at this time of year all my south facing windows are filled with all the pepper and tomato plants I had left over from what I wanted outside.
But at the end of the day, it all adds up to the same. Wanting to be surrounded by plants in your home.
Hang on.. Didn't they try to sell the monstera mint as if it had varigation that was like a philodendron silver sword in proper blotches? I'm not really a fan of the marbled effect.
Ok what is up with the Amydrium plants/spider man plant? I felt like they just appeared, no biggie, no hype, people own them apparently, but it was like they were always around? I've never even heard of them before. But the green form is so Pretty!
I don't know why people go for "It" plants. Surely we're driven by "stunning" instead? Merry Christmas Claire, Ross & Yoli. 🎄🎅
Because we're all living in a super fast-paced world nowadays with social media. Social media personalities need to have the coolest, fanciest, most rare plants to impress and gain more viewers/followers and those people are blown away by those plants (and often also just because they're "rare") and will put them on their endlessly growing and never ending "wishlists".
General varigated plants is the new in Europe. After deliosa and other it is.mlre spread out
Don’t be put off a burle Marx flame, I have two and both have given me 8 leaves each this year, roughly a new leaf every 7 weeks. My anthurium regale has given me two leaves this year, and that is most certainly slow! So don’t listen to people that say BMF are slow growers, they are not, and growth pretty similar to a standard monstera deliciosa.
The flame has not dropped significantly because it grows very flow compared to other monstera types
2:33 LISTEN TO HER SHE IS TELLING THE TRUTH.
I got into plants because I saw a pink princess philodendron and at the time, a nice one would run you $300. I got one last year at Home Depot for 10 bucks. It was actually three separate mature plants and a few smaller ones. Just wait. That plant will get cheaper.
Edit: looks like a giant marble queen pothos 8:54
