Same. I ordered an $80 clarinervium online and it went into shipping shock when I received it, and the stress over me potentially losing that plant was horrible. (It's doing fine now, though.)
Never paid for a plant in my life but some are more precious for me than others because for some i can get another cuttung from my mum and for others i don't even know the person it came from originally so i need to keep it alive at all cost. Tbh i am afraid of the post grad future where i can afford to buy plants. I worry about them a lot as is
My most anxiety inducing plant is actually an extremely full 30cm basket of Chain Of Hearts. It was given to me by my Nan from her garden a few weeks before she passed. It’s extremely special to me. I always have propagations going.
Same, I have a Christmas cactus that I inherited from my mother in law, It has been in my husbands family for 120 years.... 👀 I take cuttings every spring.
Can't say I sympathize with the guy who lost his Obliqua to his tortoise. If I paid $2500 for a plant it would be in a literal cage or in its own room away from people and pets lol
I don't have to imagine. I was planning on getting a tortoise so I borrowed a friend's tortoise for a few hours just to try and get an idea and it wasn't a fun time.
I bought a pot that had 3 orchids from Lowe’s for 25% and got it home and 95% of the roots were rotted. I actually called them to try to get a refund lol waiting for a call back.
@@ivyrose779 Ooh i had a similar situation with a Philodendron Prince of Orange, got it home and then realized it had no roots, just a cutting stuck in moist soil, i just took it back and told them i am taking another plant.
Your videos almost always look more like a documentary than just a random plant video, what you make is just so interesting and instructive ! I think you have the best content on YT Kaylee and I lreally appreciate the fact that you always look so natural with us. Love on you and your beautiful plants !
Im trying to figure out how it happened. I would be too scared to have such an rare plant on a shelf over a tortoise enclosure. It would be in its own enclosed habitat away from any potential danger. 🥺😳
Have you done a video yet on the mosaic virus and variegated adansonii? I am noticing a lot of people buying "variegated adansonii " when it really has the mosaic virus.
I nearly killed a snake plant over fungus gnats. The gnats were in the soil I bought and then the powder stuff to get rid of the gnats you had to get wet for it to be active and so then my plant got overwatered....when I should have just replanted it from the beginning in new soil 😭😭 lesson learned. At least the gnats are gone
@@Orholam5maybe I'm wrong, but I kind of feel like gnats are harmless? The larvae might nibble at the roots, but I feel like they don't do the kinda damage that things like spider mites do. They're incredibly annoying though
I've never had issues with fungus gnats either. They go away when I stop overwatering or my window sill spiders get at them, and they've never harmed my plant. I care about my plants, it's like getting mad at leaf jumpers on my outside garden
For an adult who watches beauty channels and plant channels.... This is truly my safe space on a Friday. May give You anxiety. Drastically reduces mine 😂😘

Kaylee: "Maybe because, you know, we propagate it more" Me: Variegated Adansonii coming to rareplantshop confirmed! Kaylee: Talking about the price Me: I mean who actually needs two kidneys ...
I loved this video! It was a treat just seeing the rare plants 😛 but I love when you break things down in such an informative way, I’ve always been a fan of the rare plant index videos too!
I actually know of a guy in norway(weird right) who has a philodendron spiritus sancti, a monstera obliqua AND a variagated adansonii. Like, I thought it was only Kaylee who could have all three 😂🌱
The adansonii variegata has been on my wishlist for a long time now but I will wait until prices go down and people have more experience caring for it so I can learn from their mistakes! 😁
I was watching rare plant videos by you for hours and you mentioned being scared of making the videos too long. IMPOSSIBLE. I could sit for like ATLEAST an hour on one video. Happy Holidays from Australia xx
I love how thorough and well made all your videos are :) Also: when daily life already gives you so much anxiety that rare plants really are no option for you 😂
Came here for the corrugated ones. Confirmed my fears :( Finally cracked the splendidum ( at least this one stays small ) My patriciae is growing crazy well…
About the Monstera Obliqa - in Norway you can buy this one in the shop for about £10😅 CORRECTION: just watched the Monstera Obliqua vs Adansonii, and they OBVIOUSLY do NOT sell Obliqua in local nurseries. However, they call them Monkey Mask, which is a but confusing, as that name is used for Obliqua and not Adansonii.
Please make a video about seed scams. Christmas is coming nearer and rare Philodendron and Monstera seeds are sold, but what people get are not the correct seeds! How do Monstera and philodendron seeds look?
My goodness my White Calathea Fusion is THE WORST. She was affordable and not awful to find, but I have tried so much to make her happy. Turns out she just needed some space instead of being babied and a ton of humidity 😅
Weekend x Warrior yeah. I’m a calathea/maranta lover. I give them only filtered water, bright but indirect light, they’re grouped together, air vents nearby are closed, they sit on pebble trays that are checked daily, top watered thoroughly every 2.5 weeks-ish, humidity level stays between 40%-50%, and a humidifier runs daily and is rotated. I feel like the trick is to not top water as often and just provide moisture and humidity near and around the plants. Mine are thriving
Watching this video made me realize how amazing and well researched your videos are! Seriously, I love this content! And I feel like if I share this with my friends who aren't into houseplants, they can get a sense of how involved this hobby and community is.
Great content! Haha, they are mostly Anthuriums. I love that you are constantly find new, engaging and different ways to talk about plants! I love hauls and pest prevention as much as the next plant lover but I am really enjoying the diversity of your channel. I feel like I am constantly learning something new. Thank you for differentiating between rarity and availability!
I seriously love your content. The subjects of your videos aren’t like any other channel that I have seen and the information and research you share with us is so generous. I’ll be honest, I’m probably NEVER going to own any of the plants on this list but that doesn’t mean that I don’t enjoy learning about them and knowing things like pricing. I’ve asked some of these questions in a few FB groups I’m in and let me tell you, the answer “if you have to ask you have no business asking OR owning one of these plants” is really awful. I understand it’s hard work and time consuming doing your research on these plants. To an extent I can understand why some would not want to share their knowledge but at least point someone in the right direction instead of belittling them. I’m never made to feel that way watching your videos and I truly do appreciate you 100%! Sorry for the rant-ish post 🤣... I hope you feel better very soon!
I agree with you that rudeness like that just isn't necessary in any environment, and I don't think that the dismissal you received is fair, but when you're preparing to spend £100+ on a plant, I think it's irresponsible to not know its basic care. It shows that someone hasn't done prior research if they're asking questions about minimum requirements on an unreliable and unregulated space like Facebook. I think that's why people are hostile on those pages, although that doesn't excuse their attitude.
Td R I totally get what you’re saying. As I stated in my first comment... I’ll probably never be able to own some of the gorgeous plants I’d like but I still want/enjoy learning about them. I get overwhelmed by google and don’t really know what sites are legit and what sites are just regurgitating stuff they’ve read from questionable sources. Could you suggest some decent sites for some reading on in depth care of Alocasia and Cleistocactus? I really just want a nudge in the right direction. Is it better to search for sites that end in .edu or search university websites? Or are there other reliable sources that may be easier to understand?
@@zeppypaige I totally get what you mean - there's no way I could afford to grow any of this stuff, but I love to learn about it. The problem is that there isn't a singular care guide for any plant - it's only by cross referencing a bunch of sites that you get a guide for how to adapt your individual house to fit the plant's needs. University websites can be useful, but I find that they tend to care more about chemical processes and uses for the plant than their care! I recommend botanical garden websites, and nursery websites that sell the plants you're looking for - they have to be fact checked multiple times, so I find them pretty reliable. On that note, I'd also go with websites ending in .org where you can, although you don't have to use those exclusively. I also find that books are a lot less overwhelming than Google! Any book sold/endorsed by the RHS (the British royal horticultural society) is going to be full of useful info, and might list sources of where they got their information. I also get random plant books from charity shops, because they're usually older and often have more detail than care books published now (although the plant names are sometimes out of date). If you want to double check a plant's latin name, I recommend theplantlist. org - it's a website that's trying to list every plant, and if a plant has been called multiple names over time, they're all noted there. That can be a bit of a problem with cleistocactus, since some of them used to be called cereus or trichocereus, and some are echinopsis now.
I would personally add Lithops, little monsters are relatively hard to cultivate, 9 times out of 10 can only reproduce them by seeds, are probably the slowest growers I know (they live up to 50 years, and adults one are 2-3 inches tall), and are very very picky about watering mostly because they have a year-round growing process
How do you even leave a plant eating animal within striking distance of such an expensive plant?! 🤦🏻♀️ And what if it had been poisonous? Zero sympathy here.
@@jannelaineeleodinmuo2442 Im trying to figure out how it happened myself. The few that I have seen (on internet of course) are in little bubbles like the one she showed us in her video. It needs such high humidity and he had it sitting on a shelf by a tortoise? So confused lol
Watching this video one year after you published it and I've since been able to have a lot of first-hand experience with a few of the plants on your list: Anthurium Rugulosum/Philodendron Lynnhannoniae/Anthurium Splendidum: These plants hate me with a passion! All the corrugated philos and anthuriums I've had either die or become stumps really quickly and are super hard to acclimate. I've given them high humidity and been very careful with watering and they still dry up or die of root rot, so I really wouldn't recommend these unless you've really got the care nailed down! Anthurium Warocqueanum: Yep, I killed a green normal form one and since got a dark form and it is way easier going and much more prettier than the normal form too! Anthurium Dorayaki: Similar to silver bush/silver/any other hybrid forms of crystallinum and I honestly think it's down to the individual genetics of the plant. If you get a good strong one you'll be able to tell it'll be fine straight away, and vice versa, a weaker one will really suffer with root rot and establishing a good root system and therefore slow to push out new growth. Philodendron Patriciae: I killed my first one with root rot because it was shipped quite poorly too. It is quite pricey and hard to come by, but it is quite humidity tolerant, though you need to boost the humidity way up when a new leaf is unfurling. And yes, super super super slow grower compared to other philos. Variegated Adansonii: Yes, white parts will brown over time, and quicker if humidity is a bit low or water stays on the white parts for too long. I find it copes find and doesn't really have root rot. Mine grows quite quickly but pushes out quite a lot of undesirable all white leaves that need to be chopped back. But damn, yes, the prices of these are still super high and might be worth waiting for them to come down before getting one (they will eventually post COVID I hope) Still yet to get a Joepii (boy the prices for these have sky rocketed too) and Obliqua (these have actually become much more widely available as they're quite easy to propagate runners successfully from) and I would love to get my hands on a Spiritus Sancti (I know there are a few more circulating now as some are being grown out but I have heard they are a pain in the butt to propagate successfully because they have a very different woody stem and doesn't take to rooting very easily)
Hi Kaylee! I would love to see a video on house plants that like to dry out between waterings! and then a follow up video on taking care of plants that like to stay moist. I'm really good with plants that like to dry out, but I struggle with plants that like to stay moist... would love some tips!
I ordered an Anthurium Splendidum as a special present to myself. It came early and I didn’t have anything for it so I turned the humidity up in my plant room to 90% for the day. Husband came home and let it all out. Leaves crisped in 2 hours. All but one gone. Well, the roots were good so I soaked some moss in diluted fertilizer and got it into a jar. The I put it on top of a mix to grow into. It’s regrown two leaves and is extremely happy. It’s a gorgeous plant: If you ever want to try again, I’d be happy to help!
Thanks. Very interesting. No one ever talks about a Bowiea. It is a lovely green bulb that grows ON TOP of the soil with roots down into the soil. It is layered like an onion and sliding a layer off and bagging it in a bit of potting soil can create babies after a year. Then another year before the real stem grows. Once established they grow quickly. Big long vine that bursts into a fern look flowers and then dies back. Rinse and repeat and the bulb continues to grow larger each time. Just google Bowiea.
If my plant thrives - great. But I’m aiming more for survival. If they survive I’m a proud plant parent and I think I’ve done my job lol. Thriving is almost a little scary to think about, it feels like added maintenance for some plants if they thrive and grow continuously.
I have a splendidum and my gosh, it's a diva. Melted 3 times for the slightest reason. When a sliver of direct morning sun touched it, melted. When the humidity drops below 100%, melted. When it is too humid and condensation occurs on the container, melted.
Wow, this plants is for people with extra $$$$. Thanks for letting us know how expensive and how hard to take care of this rare plants are. I may not have this plants but i had fun just watching youtubers highlighting this plants.😉
@@KalodexD definitely! Stick them in a window, water every other week, ignore them all winter. As long as they aren't dark or wet, they're really hard to kill :)
I had a pretty good idea at the beginning of this video what number 1 and 2 were going to be :) I'm wondering how number 1 and 2 are doing for you? Will there be a "where are they now" video in the near future? And I'm also curious as to what your top ten list of favorite and most disliked common houseplants would be.
I've read that obliqua is in tissue culture right now, so at least it'll be more available soon, so long as it doesn't appear overly deformed, the demand for them should still be pretty high for a while.
I once got totally insane over gardenia, out of all plants.. It was not expensive, but flowerbed beautifully and had so many new buds - I wanted it to flower so badly.. Almost every single bud fell off without opening. And that was after I did the entire research and cared for it correctly. I was out of my mind. Anxiety level 100 out of 10. So. Much. Time. Wasted.
What a great video, It gave me anxiety just watching it!! I think a great video Idea would be like plant trends you think will happen in 2020. Thanks so much for a great video Kaylee!! 🤗💚🌿💚
Does a terrarium increase risk of rot? This may happen under poor air circulation. And by the way, tortoises are not affected by the calcium oxalate crystals found in aroids. I had a similar problem with Zantedeschias.
I enjoyed watching these ...unicorn plants, but other than that mmm... sorry. I guess, as you've already mentioned, we all have our own personal standards, accessibility, etc, but my "not really expensive plant" means 10-15€, 20€ is my limit price per plant (unless it's really huge, then I might pay up to 30€. Maybe), yours is 80£+. I would really love watching a similar video with some "common and real" plants. Have a great weekend!! 😃
I wish we kept the previous prices of variegated adansonii. I have yet to seen a single leaf cutting for under $2,100 USD as of April this year, most being $2,800. Though I have only been seeing them since April.
Meanwhile, I'm over here with a calathea orbifolia I found at the plant farm in Spokane, and I bought it its own humidifier and meter. I can't stand that I fell in love with Calathea. D:
The #7 looks soooo almost same as something that grows wild in my neighborhood area I live in Florida and there’s a a spring near me..... Hmmm 🤔- does it vine??? #6 is gorgeous
I didn't pay a ton for it, but uhm. Calathea White Fusion is anxiety inducing. However, I love it so so so much. I can't even bring myself to think about abandoning it's care. It's absolutely gorgeous when it's happy lol.
Excellent explanation .Its a scientific way of looking at those House plants .I really like to see your videos because they are really educational,thoughtful and full of unknown facts. You would have devoted lot of time to do such videos.Thank you ! (Sri Lanka ).

Pretty much if I spent more than $80 on a plant then the anxiety factor for me is 7 or higher
SAME - shes like.. price 7/10 for a grand im like EEEEEEEEEK
Ditttttooo
Lol for me it's $30 or more. I buy plants for $4 at Home Depot so more than that is too much! haha
Same. I ordered an $80 clarinervium online and it went into shipping shock when I received it, and the stress over me potentially losing that plant was horrible. (It's doing fine now, though.)
Never paid for a plant in my life but some are more precious for me than others because for some i can get another cuttung from my mum and for others i don't even know the person it came from originally so i need to keep it alive at all cost. Tbh i am afraid of the post grad future where i can afford to buy plants. I worry about them a lot as is
And here I am getting anxiety over my $7 Boston fern. 😂
An expensive plant to me is $30+ lol
Stephen Bailey same 🤣 anything over $30 and I’ll hate myself if it dies
Mmm anything over 15 for me. 🤷🏽♀️
Thomas Revas same! The most i’ve spent on a plant is 6 dollars and i always try to find a baby one which is cheaper than a grown one
@@Yagiselys Where you buying, damn!
Ciaran Davenport walmart, home depot or local plant stores near me

Also most tortoises don't free roam very well.
imagine being a rare plant collector but also having a free-roaming tortoise in your house
Insaaaane

You should have added an extra category for tastiness for the obliqua
Hearing about Nick’s turtle eating his oblique had me near tears...
I actually heard myself making this sound of utter anguish. I just couldn't help it XD
Omg
I thought she said daughters. This makes more sense 😂😂😂😂
Im trying to figure out how it happened. I would be too scared to have such an rare plant on a shelf over a tortoise enclosure. It would be in its own enclosed habitat away from any potential danger. 🥺😳
what i took away from this video is to not buy an anthurium
Have you done a video yet on the mosaic virus and variegated adansonii? I am noticing a lot of people buying "variegated adansonii " when it really has the mosaic virus.
And people thinking that their Adonsonii has turned into a variegata
😱
Ok now I’d really like to see a video on this! We need more “dish the dirt”!!!
That animated score overlay is very cool!
Dealing with fungus gnats kicks my anxiety factor right up to 10/10, no fancy $$$ plants needed 💁🏻♀️

Watching this video one year after you published it and I've since been able to have a lot of first-hand experience with a few of the plants on your list:
Anthurium Rugulosum/Philodendron Lynnhannoniae/Anthurium Splendidum: These plants hate me with a passion! All the corrugated philos and anthuriums I've had either die or become stumps really quickly and are super hard to acclimate. I've given them high humidity and been very careful with watering and they still dry up or die of root rot, so I really wouldn't recommend these unless you've really got the care nailed down!
Anthurium Warocqueanum: Yep, I killed a green normal form one and since got a dark form and it is way easier going and much more prettier than the normal form too!
Anthurium Dorayaki: Similar to silver bush/silver/any other hybrid forms of crystallinum and I honestly think it's down to the individual genetics of the plant. If you get a good strong one you'll be able to tell it'll be fine straight away, and vice versa, a weaker one will really suffer with root rot and establishing a good root system and therefore slow to push out new growth.
Philodendron Patriciae: I killed my first one with root rot because it was shipped quite poorly too. It is quite pricey and hard to come by, but it is quite humidity tolerant, though you need to boost the humidity way up when a new leaf is unfurling. And yes, super super super slow grower compared to other philos.
Variegated Adansonii: Yes, white parts will brown over time, and quicker if humidity is a bit low or water stays on the white parts for too long. I find it copes find and doesn't really have root rot. Mine grows quite quickly but pushes out quite a lot of undesirable all white leaves that need to be chopped back. But damn, yes, the prices of these are still super high and might be worth waiting for them to come down before getting one (they will eventually post COVID I hope)
Still yet to get a Joepii (boy the prices for these have sky rocketed too) and Obliqua (these have actually become much more widely available as they're quite easy to propagate runners successfully from) and I would love to get my hands on a Spiritus Sancti (I know there are a few more circulating now as some are being grown out but I have heard they are a pain in the butt to propagate successfully because they have a very different woody stem and doesn't take to rooting very easily)
Liz Cowen Thank you, Kaylee! I feel so much better about my only one discontented plant. Two leaves gone, two leaves still hanging in there...
Hi Kaylee! I would love to see a video on house plants that like to dry out between waterings! and then a follow up video on taking care of plants that like to stay moist. I'm really good with plants that like to dry out, but I struggle with plants that like to stay moist... would love some tips!
I ordered an Anthurium Splendidum as a special present to myself. It came early and I didn’t have anything for it so I turned the humidity up in my plant room to 90% for the day. Husband came home and let it all out. Leaves crisped in 2 hours. All but one gone. Well, the roots were good so I soaked some moss in diluted fertilizer and got it into a jar. The I put it on top of a mix to grow into. It’s regrown two leaves and is extremely happy. It’s a gorgeous plant: If you ever want to try again, I’d be happy to help!
I'm pleased that I'm in love with succulents 💪☺️
Thanks. Very interesting.
No one ever talks about a Bowiea. It is a lovely green bulb that grows ON TOP of the soil with roots down into the soil. It is layered like an onion and sliding a layer off and bagging it in a bit of potting soil can create babies after a year. Then another year before the real stem grows. Once established they grow quickly. Big long vine that bursts into a fern look flowers and then dies back. Rinse and repeat and the bulb continues to grow larger each time. Just google Bowiea.
I would love to see how you do your decor in the background.
If my plant thrives - great. But I’m aiming more for survival. If they survive I’m a proud plant parent and I think I’ve done my job lol. Thriving is almost a little scary to think about, it feels like added maintenance for some plants if they thrive and grow continuously.
girl, this video is a total home run! such a treat to see these plants. aaaaaand, risk of the crisp---what appropriate phrasing! made me laugh.
YASSS good old fashioned Kaylee Ellen countdown! Love it!
I really like this videos! So much information in a fun and easy way!🌱
I’m HERE for half hour+ videos, thanks for making this ❤️
I love your videos, Kaylee. Not only are they informative but they are so fun and entertaining. Your personality just pops in every one💕
I just love listening to you, and learning valuable information for caring for my plants. Your a plant fairy
I am amazed at the knowledge you have! No anxiety for me!! Good info.
If I spent more than $100 on a plant I'd be babying that thing for sure! Awesome video!
I have a splendidum and my gosh, it's a diva. Melted 3 times for the slightest reason. When a sliver of direct morning sun touched it, melted. When the humidity drops below 100%, melted. When it is too humid and condensation occurs on the container, melted.
Wow, this plants is for people with extra $$$$. Thanks for letting us know how expensive and how hard to take care of this rare plants are. I may not have this plants but i had fun just watching youtubers highlighting this plants.😉
this is basically every plant for me :( u a queen, also that hair tho!!
this is why i mostly stick to cacti and succulents they are mostly more forgiving if you know their requirements and mess up once in a while :D
I've never tried growing them, are they considered to be easier?
@@KalodexD definitely! Stick them in a window, water every other week, ignore them all winter. As long as they aren't dark or wet, they're really hard to kill :)
@@tdr3471 Oh that's good to know! thanks!
An expensive plant for me is $5 and above. I live in the Philippines.
Takeaway: Lots of aroids are really cool, but make less-than-ideal houseplants!
This video was so well done! And super entertaining. It's like dishing the tea on some plants. lol
I really liked this video! It was an interesting topic and you did a great job with the animations.
Love the new style of the text in the video! Super nice.
Great graphics Kaylee! The video was really well made. ♥️
This is a genius idea for a video. Gonna enjoy this with my dinner. Thanks keep em coming. 💜
I had a pretty good idea at the beginning of this video what number 1 and 2 were going to be :) I'm wondering how number 1 and 2 are doing for you? Will there be a "where are they now" video in the near future? And I'm also curious as to what your top ten list of favorite and most disliked common houseplants would be.
Epic as always babe!!! Now you've got me scared! Some of those are on my wishlist. Eak!!!
sweet thanks for the list of plants i now have to own! 🙃 this was awesome!!
Love your great advice and honesty and such Great content keep posting 😊
I've read that obliqua is in tissue culture right now, so at least it'll be more available soon, so long as it doesn't appear overly deformed, the demand for them should still be pretty high for a while.
the graphics on this video!! 🙌🙌🙌
You look absolutely lovely! I love your hair! Happy holidays ✨💕
I once got totally insane over gardenia, out of all plants.. It was not expensive, but flowerbed beautifully and had so many new buds - I wanted it to flower so badly.. Almost every single bud fell off without opening. And that was after I did the entire research and cared for it correctly. I was out of my mind. Anxiety level 100 out of 10. So. Much. Time. Wasted.
What a great video, It gave me anxiety just watching it!! I think a great video Idea would be like plant trends you think will happen in 2020. Thanks so much for a great video Kaylee!! 🤗💚🌿💚
I don't know why but watching this video gives me anxiety too 🤣
Yasss...we needed this as a little Christmas gift to us! Thank YouUu...
Love this! I would like more videos like these.
Dish the dirt, send nodes and risk of the crisp shirts needed
Does a terrarium increase risk of rot? This may happen under poor air circulation. And by the way, tortoises are not affected by the calcium oxalate crystals found in aroids. I had a similar problem with Zantedeschias.
, only a minute and a half in the video and I already know I want all 10 of these plants I love the challenge
I enjoyed watching these ...unicorn plants, but other than that mmm... sorry.
I guess, as you've already mentioned, we all have our own personal standards, accessibility, etc, but my "not really expensive plant" means 10-15€, 20€ is my limit price per plant (unless it's really huge, then I might pay up to 30€. Maybe), yours is 80£+. I would really love watching a similar video with some "common and real" plants.
Have a great weekend!! 😃
I wish we kept the previous prices of variegated adansonii. I have yet to seen a single leaf cutting for under $2,100 USD as of April this year, most being $2,800. Though I have only been seeing them since April.
Meanwhile, I'm over here with a calathea orbifolia I found at the plant farm in Spokane, and I bought it its own humidifier and meter. I can't stand that I fell in love with Calathea. D:
Here we are three years later, Spiritus Sancti can now not only be purchased for just over $100, but I own a hybrid Ss X Esmeraldense
Bought an obliqua, and Lord I can RELATE to that anxiety thing.
Ayy how’s your obliqua doing lol
The #7 looks soooo almost same as something that grows wild in my neighborhood area
I live in Florida and there’s a a spring near me.....
Hmmm 🤔- does it vine???
#6 is gorgeous
Please do a video on the hayi!! There becoming more available and there isn't much good care videos on them.
I didn't pay a ton for it, but uhm. Calathea White Fusion is anxiety inducing. However, I love it so so so much. I can't even bring myself to think about abandoning it's care. It's absolutely gorgeous when it's happy lol.
Excellent explanation .Its a scientific way of looking at those House plants .I really like to see your videos because they are really educational,thoughtful and full of unknown facts. You would have devoted lot of time to do such videos.Thank you ! (Sri Lanka ).

What a fun and informative video! Thank you.
Tehe so cute... crunchy chip n dips.... pass the salt.... 🧂😋
Lol I thought the title implied they produce hormones that make you anxious🤦🏾♀️😂
They might as well with how fast these plants turn people into nervous helicopter parents 💀
I love watching your videos!! I would enjoy meeting you and seeing your shop, but I live in Texas!!
My anxiety went through the roof for my poor variegated ginger plant that I bought at a grocery store for $20. I killed it, I felt terrible.
