It's interesting how plants prices differs in different parts of the world. Here in northern europe I can buy a reeeally long and full hoya compacta for 25£, and people basicly pay you to take over their pileas, but a frydek costs 100£. Love your videos!
I live in Washington, US and got my Hoya Compacta for $15 in a 6 inch pot, 5 little vines that were about 5 inches. Looks full in the pot. It’s been growing like crazy since 🥰 next is a variegated for me if I ever find one.
Also here in Scandinavia Hoya Compactas are considered "old lady plants" because every housewife has them on those rounded trellises and they're given as "silver marriage" presents (silver marriage is when people have been married for 25 years). So I've never wanted any Hoyas. We also call Hoyas for "vax plants" and they are in every institutionalized building like schools, public buildings, doctors, museums, etc. Not very attractive to own. The same with Ficus or "rubber plants". And Pileas is like the "foolproof" plant here. Everybody has it, its the cheapest and easiest thing and it sells in supermarkets, etc. But try finding a variegated plant of any sort. Impossible. And if you want to get a Monstera Albo Variegata 1-leaf cutting, you will have to import it for 500+ US dollars (before added taxes and import duties, and shipping costs). Anthuriums are simply not available even for import and I spent 6 months finding a Burrows Tail plant which was very expensive and of course I lost a ton of leaves when repotting from the nursery pot.
@@wirinaholstein4076 that's true! I don't know about the marriage thing here in Belgium but every old womans window sill has some kind of hoya (indeed on a rounded trellis) and sansevria on it.
Please give Leo a hug from me! He is so cute when you’re filming. He listens to your voice inflections. He wonders what is so special about all those plants when he is sooo adorable!! Great Queen Anthurium! I’m envious!
I love this style of video where it is so casual and it’s just showing things you were already buying rather than consuming for content as you said! Also the pot & saucer were so cute!!!
Right now, I am definitely stocking up on a few hoya that have caught my eye. When you move to the midwest, you will have an unstoppable urge to binge-buy before a loooong winter break! :)
Awh when you got emotional I felt that in my soul. I had a silver sword on my wishlist, it got lost in the mail sadly & nobody could find it & the seller offered to send my a new one that is even more mature than the one i originally purchased. I started bawling, plant people can be so kind.
Wow everything got better as you kept opening, The Frydek and Tetrasperma are amazing Anthurium Queen , I just got my first Anthurium a Magnificent I hope I can grow it well . I adore the gray pottery 🤩👍🏼tfs 💚🌱
Didn’t know Ella had a shop, great news even though it’s old news now. 😃 Nice Logee’s unboxing. 💚😃 It’s chilly this morning in NC your sweater looks so cozy an warm. 😃
I guess I too am a fangirl of Ella of The Plant's Meow. She has a beautiful, and amazing collection. Becca I can't recall if I came to you from Ella's comments or Pam's of Pam's Pretty Plants. Ella is always sweet and kind in every interaction I have had with her. Thanks for this video. We are about to move to (the home buying process is so long). My husband and son are always on me about buying plants and heavy pots right now. They say I am buying more work for them when the move comes. I am glad to know I am not the only one finding it irresistible. Maybe this is an Addiction...ha! Hello, my name is Hodge (I use my middle name) and I am a Plant addict...Its been 9 days since I bought a plant. We also joked about putting up a sign at the house like a factory's OSHA sign. Instead of time since an accident we post days since a plant purchase. Anyway, they are lovely plants. Stay chill while packing & happy growing.
I just purchased an 11in long, and 6in around node from a 10 year old GIANT Monster Deliciosia that touched the ceiling for the sunroom it was previously growing in and the leaves were almost 3ft long. Can’t wait to get it and watch it be big and beautiful!
AHH. That happens to me too!! I never notice how big the plant is going to be, and I spend and EXCESSIVE amount of money on it😂 4 in. Pots for $30 is the type of trap I fall into for not paying attention 🤣😭 THAT RHAPHIDOPHORA TETRASPERMA IS SO BEAUTIFUL, I want to buy it rn!! I'm definitely going to consider that, I got my Rhaphi for $22 it's in a 6" pot and the stock is only 4" tall with only one fenestrated leaf and the rest of the leaves are not fenestrated It grows very slowly for me because it went through a small case of root rot but it came back I was able to save it from completely deteriorating 🥰. Amazing video!!!
Loved this video so much!!!! Also great idea on a collective haul!! I have totally felt like this where I just didn’t haul it because I got a plant or two from one place and it wasn’t enough for a full video. Loveeee the concept!!! ✨✨🖤🌿
Aw man, they always getcha with the short hindu rope. So slow growing too, so not a lot of growers have super long ones. On a seperate note, I've found that every time I buy a bunch of plants from one grower at the same time it seems like I get the smallest version of that plant. They either display a FULL, bushy 2-3 inch pot but then you receive the plant that is much younger. Even before covid19 hit this was my experience. The more you buy at once the more they need to fit in a box or two so it seems like they pick less foliated forms of the plant so it ships better. At least that's what I think. Then what usually happens is I see a way bigger version of the same plant for a few bucks more at my local nursery the next time I go there and end up buying that too😭. This happens to me with landscaping/gardening plants and houseplants alike.
I think ordering now was smart. We are approaching what I call the “no ship zone” here in the Midwest. I’m in MI so you have more time in Missouri but still smart.
I was one of those people that tried out plantflix because of you 😅 I’m actually going to be recording me potting the seeds up today, for my next video! I’m so excited! I got the Monstera Deliciosa seeds! 💚 so thank you for that!
I ordered a baby rubber tree plant (burgandy) from a popular greenhouse. Imagine my surprise when I open the box and find a philodendron burgandy princess!!! I couldn't believe it, lol. It's going back to them on Monday tho.
Love your new plant babies🤗Logees in the next state over for me and I go there a few times a year. Their plants are healthy but so true about the pots being small😩but they are very healthy 💚🤩 That was so sweet to think of your mom💕
The first two plants you ordered.... in Missouri I bought a Hindu rope in a 6inch hanging basket trailing and all for 25$. 😩😣 and you’re pilea....they are everywhere in Springfield pretty dirt cheap 😕😕 Edit: there’s nothing more satisfying than plant mail though wow 🌿💖
I got an Alocasia Zebrina the other day that came with a new leaf that is unfurling and a MASSIVE Boston Fern a lady at a plant shop next to my house wanted to get ride of (hopefully he'll survive too he's so beautiful and full! 😍)
Great video!! Love all the plants and pottery. What is that giant plant behind you on the white bookcase when you are opening the Tennessee tropicals package?
The prices are crazy! Even at the more expensive garden centres, a Hindu rope Hoya double the length and with two or three ropes would be about 8€ here. The pilea maybe 10€ if you are especially unlucky and find an expensive one. Some plants are more available in the US (like monstera sp. Peru) but otherwise those prices are shocking for me. I’m glad that my string of hearts (one normal and one variegated) were only 2€ a piece. I would’ve been devastated otherwise as I’ve killed both 😅
8:25 watch her eyes grow as she looks at that anthurium. Also the clogged pore is easy to deal with, soak a towel in hot water and let that sit on your face to let heat penetrate the layers of skin. Ps cute earrings
I’d love some Alocasia tips! I got my first one for my birthday, a Silver Dragon/Baginda. It’s beautiful and I’m terrified of killing it. It was a gift from my mom. I built an indoor greenhouse for it. 😶
There really should be a warning to not have the sound on full blast cuz that sexy background music...well..you know 🤣...LOVE the pottery and the queen anthurium! 😍
The alocasia frydek!!! I have yet to get into alocasia yet bc I dont feel like I have the right environment for them. But I ooo and aaa over them all the time. Lol. & I recently got a monstera peru that I am so in love with 😍 also dont feel weird about holding onto clips. I think this was a great video to mesh all together 🙃
I have 10 and I find them very easy! Bright light, moist soil and keep an eye out for spider mites. That’s it. No diva moments. Don’t hesitate giving one a try. They are very affordable as well.
@@Blurggg thankyou for that advice! I feel like a lot of people make them out to be divas especially the more expensive ones. I've heard they're not as forgiving as philos and thats what makes me nervous 😳
I just got a Frydek! My first alocasia. I've been hesitant about them bc spider mite horror stories lol. Becca, or anyone, do you keep your Frydeks by a humidifier? I'm in Iowa so winters are pretty drying.
Hi! I have several alocasia plants and have had no problems with spider mites. I run my humidifier sporadically (when I remember lol) and they do fine.
I got my frydeks from them and have killed 3 😢 my first had 8 leaves and slowly they died off. I blame the lack of light in Chicago’s winter. I’d be interested to see how yours fares in the Midwest!
I finally got the curage to order a Raven ZZ online through etsy and all the plants I ordered came broken and smooshed and died. All the plants I see people getting through the mail on youtube are so we'll packaged, this was horrrrrrribly packaged. So sad and disappointed after being so giddy excited to get it, sounds dumb but it kinda broke my heart a lil 💔 I will not be ordering online again cause it was a waste of 50 bucks!
Can anyone tell me which plant is in the background with the really large and long Monstera-ish looking leaves? In the clips where Becca wears the green cardigan (at the end). I feel like I have seen it before but I can't remember the name.
That’s okay!! Some plants need extra care and practice to master and aren’t for everyone. I usually stay away from alocasia for that reason but I figured I’d try again 😂
Your new plants (and your mom's new plants!) look amazing. Love the other stuff too. Also, I don't know how much mask wearing you do, but that could explain the break out by your mouth. "Maskne" is a thing, unfortunately!!
My son is having major issues with this. He works for Amazon Fullfillment in returns. They require masks at all times (well not on your lunch break). Its hard to tell this 21 yr old he needs to wash them daily. Try that. It may help.

wow why is the plant community so amazing 😭😭🥰🥰💚💚 love your videos!
I enjoy watching the collective unboxings more than dedicated ones
The music when you pulled that plant out freaking killed me lolol
Please give Leo a hug from me! He is so cute when you’re filming. He listens to your voice inflections. He wonders what is so special about all those plants when he is sooo adorable!! Great Queen Anthurium! I’m envious!
Wait, the pilea was more expensive than the alocasia frydek? I'm so jealous, it's the complete opposite here in Germany... :D Love your videos!!
I love this style of video where it is so casual and it’s just showing things you were already buying rather than consuming for content as you said! Also the pot & saucer were so cute!!!
I’m recently getting into Anthurium. I have a Rad X Lux and just ordered a veitchii and Warroc. That Crystallinum hybrid is gorgeous.
Plantsmeow is definitely worth a follow, she has a beautiful collection but her care videos are really great!

I was so surprised you didn't already have these until to said they were for your mom
I love my alocasia plants and my frydek is my absolute favorite. I can't wait to see what you do in your new home!

❤️ long hair for life!
Eeeh once again with the amazing video Becca, keep up the good work/videos!!
Thank you!! ❤️❤️
My favourite has got to be the anthurium hybrid! It's so adorable 😍 and that silver tho
Love your plant choices and good luck on your move to MO. Take good care.
❤️❤️
It’s more interesting in this style!
I purchased my squamiferum from Tennessee Tropicals & i love it so so much! 💛 I’ve also really been wanting a frydek 👀
That pottery is gorgeous!
Thank you!!

Great video!! Love all the plants and pottery. What is that giant plant behind you on the white bookcase when you are opening the Tennessee tropicals package?
I have to go with the plant with the ` mile long leaf ' plant 🤣😉😁
Alocasias are so affordable and underrated! I have 10 species and I adore everything about them except the spider mites. 😍😂

Those pots 😍😍😍 I ordered terravida ones after seeing them in your other video and they are my favorite pots i have (just wish they were bigger)!
Ahhh yes same!!! 😍☺️
Beautiful plants! The Hoya and pilea were much more expensive than I paid! I think those were a bit of a rip off! But beautiful, nonetheless.
I’d love some Alocasia tips! I got my first one for my birthday, a Silver Dragon/Baginda. It’s beautiful and I’m terrified of killing it. It was a gift from my mom. I built an indoor greenhouse for it. 😶
When I have more experience with it I’ll definite offer tips!!
Love the clay pot! 😍 I wish I could buy humidity loving plants but I think I’ll kill them.

Hi! I have several alocasia plants and have had no problems with spider mites. I run my humidifier sporadically (when I remember lol) and they do fine.
I am wondering since you’re unboxing new plants near your current plants...do you “quarantine” new plants before adding them close to your collection?
Woah in the Netherlands you can buy a huuuge pilea pep. with multiple babies for 10 bucks
That’s amazing!
When do you guys move? Do you have to pack everything yourself or will you have help from movers?
So suppressed. I sell those Hindu ropes twice that size for $8 🥴 $20 is wild
I got my frydeks from them and have killed 3 😢 my first had 8 leaves and slowly they died off. I blame the lack of light in Chicago’s winter. I’d be interested to see how yours fares in the Midwest!
Omg!! Let’s hope it does okay 😬
I'm in Chicago too! I just assume my plants are gonna live under grow lights from October to April/May lol
I order my Hindu rope from Logees and thought It would be much longer as well
We haverenovation since april. I said I wouldn't buy plants.... Buuuut :D had also lost many plants, so there had to be some balance
Think that’s a stress pimple. House move is in the top ten most stressful things to do. Remember to stop and breath. 🙏🏽
Will you be doing a video about moving with plants?
Yes!
I got my raph from logees and it’s doing so well! It’s probably doubled since June I can’t believe how fast they grow
What size pot is the mini monstera? 😍
Prices are so different all around the world, but I’m happy that in India plants are relatively cheaper than Europe or America😁.

It’s an epipremnum pinnatum - super mature form.
💚💚💚❤
That compacta is tiny!! Sorry you paid that much. I could have sent you the pilea pepperomiodes for free :(
Wow I would for sure kill the alocasia I must be doing something wrong because I can't keep them and I love them but I can't seem to keep them alive
That’s okay!! Some plants need extra care and practice to master and aren’t for everyone. I usually stay away from alocasia for that reason but I figured I’d try again 😂
I want NSE, logees and steves leaves in europeeee😭(like no. 700 and comment no. 100☺️)
I don't have a single plant friend T_T

Be careful what you put in that beautiful zig zag pot. Sansevieria will get stuck in there.
