Micans is so underrated! I love my ghost so much(will take it over the Whipple way).Surprised the majesty isn't on your list! I got mine because I saw it on your channel 😁 I would've added tortum personally
Kaylee, you missed Splendid and Glorius - they are awesome. Also for myself, I would have to put there Painted Lady - she really grew on me somehow. And what about Esmeraldense and Spiritus Sancti? I´d love to see top 10 alocasias :-) I´d put Silver Dragon on the top closely followed by Ninja and Regal Shield :-D However, it´s really tough to pick top 10 when there are so many awesome ones in the genus. Maranta would be easy top 10 🙂
luxurians and el choco are both great (albeit one is a nightmare to grow) but they are so similar that I'm genuinely surprised you didn't put them together and squeezed a billie in :) How could you skip the good old billie....?
The golden dragon is our only overlap 😆 I live in a low humidity loft and anything velvety or prone to spider mites is doomed. My tortum is my absolute favorite 💚. I want to see your variegated list.
Micans! I’ve had mine for several years and it is hanging in a window along my staircase, so I pass it multiple times a day, and it still never fails to give me a little boost of joy every time I see it. I think it makes me like the plants next to it more than I would otherwise. It just makes everything look good. And I am thrilled to have just gotten a Florida Ghost cutting this week! They are not generally available from a lot of sellers in the States, but I just found a local-ish Facebook group where a few people have them. But I do have a couple Florida Greens, and I really really enjoy them.
I'm a sucker for velvet leaves, so luxurians, camposportoanum, el choco and verrucosum are high on my list. My el choco is huge and really needs cutting (13" leaf width) but I'm too scared, haha. Dean McDowell & Jose Buono are pretty awesome too, and so easy!
Oh gosh! I can’t imagine how hard it would be to pick your top favs. Mine change all the time but my favs that never are off the list is micans (YAS! So sexy), Florida ghost, and golden dragon. But some new favs are the Sharoniae, Red Moon, and my Nangaritense (subtle but I somehow love the fat little heart shape and a little fuzz! ❤️)
my favourite philodendron is the esmeraldense, I find it to be very easy to grow and it sizes up FAST. mine went from a small one leaf cutting to 22" leaves in 1 year. (I'm growing the narrow form specifically). just beautiful and easy going. the undulate mature leaves are something else.
Maybe my tastes are too mainstream or something, but I really love my painted lady, white princess, tortum, and I actually have a reverted white knight that I love just the way it is. The leaves come out dark pinkish orange and harden down to a blackish purplish green. And the stem is dark purplish burgundy with stark white stripes along the petiole sheath. It’s a sexy plant. I’ve only ever seen them once (which was when I bought mine). It was labeled as white shark, which I think is bs cause nothing comes up when you search that. But anyways, philodendrons are so beautiful and varied, they’ve got to be my favorite genus Oh and I like paraiso verde. You can’t convince me otherwise 🤣 I just got one for a realllly nice price 🙌
I absolutely love the look of Philodendron Verrocosum. It's finicky for me to grow, but the fuzzy petioles and red backs of leaves are so gorgeous 😍 I also really love Philo El Choco. Gorgeous plants!
I just saw El choco red at a garden center yesterday! I live in Pennsylvania for reference. It was a lot more stunning in person than I expected. I may have to go back and bring him home❤
I'm on my second El Chico and have to agree that I have had increasing problems. Repotted it starts to die so I propagate and out of all of the wet sticks I had only 1 is hanging in there...in moss...I'm not sure what I'll do when I have to pot it up. I love the plant though so I keep trying
Ooo how about trying fluval stratum (which is so good for nursery stage/delicate cuttings), then on to a chunky aroid mix including tree fern substrate + whatever chunky stuff you like such as perlite, charcoal, orchid bark, sand, worm castings etc. Just a suggestion; i have so many cuttings sitting in my props. This is my plan to move them on from pure sphagnum moss or some are in pure perlite. Worth a try perhaps? Your plant is on my wishlist so if I can help 😂 Good luck!🥂
@@marciajohnson1825 I do use a tree fern fiber mix for my Anthuriums and they love it. Maybe I'll try that first? I've thought about fluval but have no experience with it. I did hear it dries out really quickly.
@@OrdinaryPlantGirl yes I heard it does but I also hear that cuttings seem to absolutely love fluval stratum. I've bought some and intend to try it out but through my research the verdict says it's a winner. Try it and see. That El Choco is worth the extra effort
I took a break from plant collecting and I'm so stoked to be back at it and see that gloriosums are way more affordable now. Also, I can now purchase a joepii for under $100? Insane! Just waiting for Whipple way to come down in price as well because my plant budget is $120 or less, and whipples are still expensive to me.
I just got my Whipple way (1 leaf cutting) in yesterday‘s mail, I still paid 120.- incl. shipping, but am sooooo excited and happy, and the prices are slowly, but steadily going down, so be on the lookout 🎉
@@melanielopez4236I never wanted a Joepii and actually got a baby and then a huge XXL mature plant in two surprise plant packages from different sellers within a fortnight 😂 And by now, I am absolutely OBSESSED 🤩
I ordered a baby Spiritus Sancti and Whipple Way today, £41 for the pair so like the price has definitely dropped. Spiritus Sancti was £99 when I was looking in 2023.
Spiritus sancti, Jose buono, Splendid, Atabapoense, Glorious, Melanochrysum, Esmeraldense, Patriciae, Sodiroi, Mamei. Next up top 10 Anthuriums of all time?
love my mican! mine is still young so i have her on a small trellis and she's so happy and she grows daily such a fun plant. thank you for sharing all of your knowledge, you have given me so much confidence to try plants i would have never tried.
Still in Love with my sp silver/Columbia/El guapo……my el Choco has never really established itself. Bad genetics I suppose. Would love a video on your take on the newer philodendron hybrids.
My top 5: 1. Verrucosum - it's so pretty and maybe I'm lucky or maybe I got a good specimen, but I can grow loads of it. I don't tend to have issues with pests too much either 2. splendid - really solid plant. Easy to grow and to size up, really gorgeous. 3. Fuzzy petiole - the first philo I got that got really big. I think the leaves are really pretty and pillowy. Super hardy, good plant to learn on. 4. Majesty - looks really cool and goth. It's fun to see the leaves change as it matures. 5. Burle marx fantasy - I love the way the leaves lay flat and kind of drip down. Really hardy also.
Speaking of trailing plant, my favorite is not a Philodendron. It is the Manjula Pothos. As for the P. Micans, I don't like it. I have had it before and it did not do well for me, so I'll pass. Top of my wish list of Philodendron (I only have two in my house currently, because I have naughty cats) is the Florida Ghost. Your #1 is too big for me, but it is gorgeous.
Love the video and this new series - I am most excited about your top ten Anthurium and Alocasia 😍 My favourite Philodendrons (and yes, I think I know now how you felt, picking out no. 1 and 2 was definitely the hardest 🤗 1. Philodendron Golden Dragon (and one day, I will get that variaged one, too 😅) 2. Philodendron Caramel marble var. 3. Philodendron Florida Beauty 4. Philodendron Whipple Way (just got my 1-leaf-cutting yesterday 🥳) 5. Philodendron Florida Ghost 6. Philosendron Melanochrysum (just wished I could keep mine happy 😅) 7. Philodendron Snowdrift 8. Philodendron Ring of Fire 9. Philodendron Joepii 10. Philodendron Prince of Orange or McColley‘s Finale (sorry, also „cheating“ a bit XD) Can‘t wait for your next video in this series 🥳
Great video! I live in Portugal but moving to Spain later this year. What are the best suppliers of Philodendrons to these countries? I know Portugal can hold up some shipments from the US, UK and possibly other places so curious the best sources. Thanks
I love my Ghost 👻 such a grate plant mine has gotten huge . My gloriosum is big and beautiful but recently it's had issues unfurling it leafs , don't know why or how to help .
So you can buy tc batches of the el choco here in Canada. But the one's I've tried to grow out were awful lol. Nothing but stuck leaves and roots that rot for no reason. Even using hydroguard. Plenty of airflow etc. I flawlessly grow tc Thais with no rot issues (idk why lol I've grown out 9 perfectly no losses). But goddamn. Those El Chocos. My only remaining is an Ecuagenera import lol.
My kittens and adult cats have left my philodendrons alone. Except for my heart leaf and one of my older cats destroyed it. Lol. Literally pulled the leaves off. Didn’t eat them. Just played with them. 🙄. But after having only nubbins of stems, they are coming back slowly. So slowly. The actual kittens (5 months old boys ), mostly like the golden pothos. They bite and nibble them, I move them and I redirect their attention. They don’t seem to have any issues with them. I know they are listed as poisonous but I have many mangled leaves that say otherwise. My older cats generally leave the plants alone so I was unprepared for babies. I’m trying to teach them to live with the plants. We are getting better. Lol. I didn’t set out to be a cat lady. We had 2 and my daughter found one in her school dumpster. That was it for 12 years. Then someone moved off and left a young cat outside. (I know, bastards). One of our oldest passed and went for a kitten for her to play with. We ended up getting 2. Lol. So now I’m a family of cat ladies lol. The oldest is 16 and then a 12 y/o, so I know that we will be back to 3 sooner rather than later.
I am surprised we did not hear of Melanochrysum, which is one of my top favorites but hey Micans is there. Loved the video regardless and was so much fun! (specially when you complain about your own little mistakes haha)
You forgot P. Warszewiczii! Green or Aurea form! Pick one, they are both beautiful! You forgot! How how how can you not love it and add it to this list?!
Philodendron silver sword is my absolute #1 favorite Philo. I have a small varigated one and I’m wondering it the varigated one will overtake as my fav Philo. Otherwise White wizard is #2 for me.
My Squamicaule Pink or Red it's practically the same thing is a stunner and very sturdy plant for me! I'm airlayering it at the moment and I'll probably have two in a month from now.
My top 1 is also the gloriosum. I don't know which one I have - it's dark, with strong light veins, heart-shaped, very large leaves (up to 50 cm). Previously I had a different one - lighter green, not such strong veinage, much smaller leaves, but this one is much nicer. I used to love philodendrons but now the climbers get on my nerves (I have to chop and change poles so often it drives me mad), the crawlers take too much space and the bushy ones are not that pretty. Now I prefer anthuriums much more
I don't know what it is about the micans, i absolutely love it but i have never grown one that looks nice, it always ends up this half melted, leggy, tiny leafed pathetic specimen and i have tried a few times now. Very sad. Perhaps this year....
I bought a gangly spider mite-ravaged pastazanum silver for $15. She's in my rehab centre now. The ernestii from the same seller had lost the fight 😥, so here's hoping Pasty pulls through. My top 3 philo are all lobed beauties: 1. Florida Ghost, 2. Tortum, 3. Warserwiczii aurea. Fast growing and not fussy about low humidity.
I'm surprised you didn't put billietae, but everything you did put makes sense! My favorite philo has to be a three-way tie between billie, gloriosum, and subhastatum 💚 though my golden crocodile has to be close runner up.
I imported a squamicaule. It's not TECHNICALLY dead. It is showing signs of life, but it is just a stump, basically. I've had it for a couple months now.
Feel you. Ordered my first squamicaule from within my country, still didn't make it after only 2 nights in the mail. Just started a second attempt, picked it up in person this time, and he still threw a little fit because of the environment change. Stable in my greenhouse now, we'll see how it goes
I must be basic too. Top 10 1. Micans 2. Splendid 3. Jerry Horne, Mexicanum, Atapoense 4. Tripartitum 5. Melinonii 6. Jose Buono 7. Bicolor 8. Variegated heartleaf 9. McDowell 10. Florida Bronze (After 1 they may not be in order.)
I just got a prop squamicaule and I love it so much!! And I also got the el choco red this summer! It’s quite large already and I’m debating if it needs a pole or if it will grow really large without one as well?👀
Gloriosum. I have a pinker, speckley one and just a regular. Florida ghost Florida beauty Bicolor! People sleep on bicolor. It's dark, narrow, strappy and grows so pretty. Rio Splendid
💯 #1 Gloriosum being my most rewarding philo #2 Splendid 😍 #3 Florida Beauty 🤩 But I also love my lemon lime so bushy trailing, the contrast against the micans on opposite sides✨💚
I will just forever be obsessed with my gloriosum. I tracked a cutting down in 2019 after one of your wishlist videos convinced me. She has grown solid as a rock for years now, I’ve chopped and propped her so many times and she just never fails to amaze me. Even if I neglect her she just keeps on pushing out growth. The last 2 leaves have had a touch of variegation to them which is so incredibly exciting to me. Just a few flecks, but it’s more than enough to make my heart jump when I look at them. Really hoping it continues in the new growth
Cracking up watching you with the cat hair. I have two cats too and it’s like it just materializes out of nowhere. The dentist once pulled a cat hair out of my mouth during a cleaning 🤦♀️ Also, spray bottles for the cats and plants worked wonders when my cats were young. I didn’t even have to spray them, just near them and they’d high tail it away from the plant. Now that they’re older they’ve lost interest. I do find plants knocked off shelves from time to time, but mostly only when I’ve been gone on a trip for a week or so. They’re just acting out 😂
Smart. I bought a small pot of hoya macrophylla variegated for $130 cdn about 2 years ago. Store owner said the spots on the leaves were because it needed to be watered. Turned out it was already rotting. They didn’t give my money back and it died. The prices and unveiled greed ultimately turned me away from that community which has been good for my bank account. Now that same size potted plant is going for $30. A 4” pot of philo florida beauty with 6 leaves goes for $55 here now.
i got a basic lil heart leaf philodendron, and a silver pothos a while back. both ended up doing so good that i had to get them friends! found someone selling exotic cuttings for like, 3-5 dollars each so i went over with $100 and bought as much as i could! they were overjoyed hehe even gave me some extras and this absolutely MONSTEROUS creme splash because i really wanted one. got them all planted together now and they are vibing, cannot wait for my grandfather to fix my terrarium so they can go back in. im absolutely obsessed with these plants now, they can go almost everywhere but they especially like my flow barrier on the sponge filter in my 5 gallon aquarium. my betta was getting blown all around so i put a nursery pot to stop the super high flow, and i get plantable cuttings with huge roots within a week in there
1000% agree on Lux. It has been one of my top fav Philo for a long time. It's absolutely stunning and I can't believe more people don't have them. Also high up on my list is the Poly. I love how dainty and soft the leaves are in comparison to the Tortum. And they have lobes! Top 10 (not variegated) for me would be: - Poly - Lux - El Choco - Mexicanum - Longilobatum - 69686 - Majestic - Serpens Chocolate - Gloriosum - Colombia And an honorable mention for the Lemon Lime Heartleaf. A big, bushy, trailing pot always brings me joy 💖

Kaylee, you missed Splendid and Glorius - they are awesome. Also for myself, I would have to put there Painted Lady - she really grew on me somehow. And what about Esmeraldense and Spiritus Sancti?
I´d love to see top 10 alocasias :-) I´d put Silver Dragon on the top closely followed by Ninja and Regal Shield :-D
However, it´s really tough to pick top 10 when there are so many awesome ones in the genus.
Maranta would be easy top 10 🙂
My top 5 this year are
Splendid
Florida Ghost
El Choco
Prince of Orange
Silver sword
luxurians and el choco are both great (albeit one is a nightmare to grow) but they are so similar that I'm genuinely surprised you didn't put them together and squeezed a billie in :) How could you skip the good old billie....?
Which one is easier to grow?
@@enkhzayabat-orgil9595 El Choco (now named rubrijuvenile) by far!
Agreed about the Billietiae! So easy, and the leaves size up and get HUGE without being put on a pole! mine is an absolute show plant and I love her 🥰
Philodendron Splendid is hands down my number one. It grows so quickly, never gets stuck, climbs, sizes up quick, is stunning.
The golden dragon is our only overlap 😆 I live in a low humidity loft and anything velvety or prone to spider mites is doomed. My tortum is my absolute favorite 💚. I want to see your variegated list.
is Tortum a slow grower? I feel it could take forever but I want a big one
Totally agree on the El Choco Red difficulties.
I would add 69686 (not Joepii), Deflexum and Spiritus Sancti to the list.
Still adore my white knight! Grows at a slow and steady pace, while presenting beautiful leaves of green and white. 🥰
Do Monstera and hoya ❤😂
I second this!
Micans! I’ve had mine for several years and it is hanging in a window along my staircase, so I pass it multiple times a day, and it still never fails to give me a little boost of joy every time I see it.

I used to love philodendrons but now the climbers get on my nerves (I have to chop and change poles so often it drives me mad), the crawlers take too much space and the bushy ones are not that pretty. Now I prefer anthuriums much more
I don't know what it is about the micans, i absolutely love it but i have never grown one that looks nice, it always ends up this half melted, leggy, tiny leafed pathetic specimen and i have tried a few times now. Very sad. Perhaps this year....
I bought a gangly spider mite-ravaged pastazanum silver for $15. She's in my rehab centre now. The ernestii from the same seller had lost the fight 😥, so here's hoping Pasty pulls through. My top 3 philo are all lobed beauties: 1. Florida Ghost, 2. Tortum, 3. Warserwiczii aurea. Fast growing and not fussy about low humidity.
I'm surprised you didn't put billietae, but everything you did put makes sense! My favorite philo has to be a three-way tie between billie, gloriosum, and subhastatum 💚 though my golden crocodile has to be close runner up.
I truly hate the micans, I don’t understand it’s popularity! 😭 the Florida Ghost is soooo fly I wish I could have one lol

thanks!
you got me at philodendron mican. 😉
Hi! Could you show us your Hoyas please? Especially if you have any veiny or silver splashy ones! Weird is good! Thank you! ❤
What? No Burle Marx Flame and Spiritu Sancti on the list? 😬
You convinced me on the Whipple Way but then I looked at my local rare plant shop it was over $500 Canadian 😢
Please do top 10 syngoniums!!! 💚
I’m thinking you might be missing the dark lord and the Joepii but it’s understandable with so many philodendrons out there
I think I have to say the Philodendron Imperial Red for me 👌🏼❤️
Wow
I am surprised Philodendron Lynnhannoniae wasn't on this list..
I expect to see Sp tropicals under here because of how much you've talked about it recently
very weird reason for selecting #10. Feels very forced.
Very very excited for your anthurium video!!
squami is indeed such a slow grower compared to other vining philodendrons
Can I do my least favorite philo??? Brandie!!!
you are allergic to cat hairs. my friend never knew. she will always get stuffy nose when she was near to cats..
My top 3 Patríciae, Verrucosun, Spitus Sancti
I imported a squamicaule. It's not TECHNICALLY dead. It is showing signs of life, but it is just a stump, basically. I've had it for a couple months now.
Feel you. Ordered my first squamicaule from within my country, still didn't make it after only 2 nights in the mail. Just started a second attempt, picked it up in person this time, and he still threw a little fit because of the environment change. Stable in my greenhouse now, we'll see how it goes
😂 “I don’t mind a bit of hairy sH!t or at least, it is a petal.” 🙌👍🙌
I love Micans, but I drowned mine😢😭
I’m surprised the Weeks Red didn’t make the list ❤️
I'd have P. Melanochrysum to the list haha
Philodenron panduriforme is pretty underrated
Alocasia would be fun! Or hoya! 😊
I just got a small el choco red. I think it is a TC plant.
Would love to see hoya, aglaonema, or syngonium.
Ring of fire imo is no1 absolutely stunning plants
I have most of these but you can keep the whippleway
Just spotted a florida ghost yesterday in a garden center in the Netherlands, only €25 for a plant with multiple leaves!
Nice! Do you have recommendations for some good garden centers near the German border? I'd love to visit you guys for some plant shopping :)
I think my tortum might be my favorite 😍
Yes! Love a plant with hairy legs!
I must be basic too.

I forgot Billie!
I appreciate a Philo that either trails or sizes up well without a moss pole.
I just got a prop squamicaule and I love it so much!! And I also got the el choco red this summer! It’s quite large already and I’m debating if it needs a pole or if it will grow really large without one as well?👀
Billitiae >
Please do anthurium 😁
Not you trash-talking my beautiful McDowell 😭😭😭
But you're right, it does get really gangly 😂 I might indeed have to buy a Gloriosom now 😂
I have the Philodendron Lux…she’s HARD af!!!! I also have the red backed Peru version and it’s equally as hard 😥
Gloriosum. I have a pinker, speckley one and just a regular.
Florida ghost
Florida beauty
Bicolor! People sleep on bicolor. It's dark, narrow, strappy and grows so pretty.
Rio
Splendid
Melanoshrysum? Hehe
💯 #1 Gloriosum being my most rewarding philo
#2 Splendid 😍
#3 Florida Beauty 🤩
But I also love my lemon lime so bushy trailing, the contrast against the micans on opposite sides✨💚
I will just forever be obsessed with my gloriosum. I tracked a cutting down in 2019 after one of your wishlist videos convinced me. She has grown solid as a rock for years now, I’ve chopped and propped her so many times and she just never fails to amaze me. Even if I neglect her she just keeps on pushing out growth.
The last 2 leaves have had a touch of variegation to them which is so incredibly exciting to me. Just a few flecks, but it’s more than enough to make my heart jump when I look at them. Really hoping it continues in the new growth
Cracking up watching you with the cat hair. I have two cats too and it’s like it just materializes out of nowhere. The dentist once pulled a cat hair out of my mouth during a cleaning 🤦♀️
Also, spray bottles for the cats and plants worked wonders when my cats were young. I didn’t even have to spray them, just near them and they’d high tail it away from the plant. Now that they’re older they’ve lost interest. I do find plants knocked off shelves from time to time, but mostly only when I’ve been gone on a trip for a week or so. They’re just acting out 😂
I absolutely love the El Choco, but when I last check the pricing on the few propagations that I did find. I kinda went, 'Yeah, I can wait'.
So glad I didn’t get into plants when they were crazy priced 😅 just this past spring my obsession happened 🌱 🪴 💚💚💚
Smart. I bought a small pot of hoya macrophylla variegated for $130 cdn about 2 years ago. Store owner said the spots on the leaves were because it needed to be watered. Turned out it was already rotting. They didn’t give my money back and it died. The prices and unveiled greed ultimately turned me away from that community which has been good for my bank account. Now that same size potted plant is going for $30. A 4” pot of philo florida beauty with 6 leaves goes for $55 here now.
welcome...
i got a basic lil heart leaf philodendron, and a silver pothos a while back. both ended up doing so good that i had to get them friends! found someone selling exotic cuttings for like, 3-5 dollars each so i went over with $100 and bought as much as i could! they were overjoyed hehe even gave me some extras and this absolutely MONSTEROUS creme splash because i really wanted one. got them all planted together now and they are vibing, cannot wait for my grandfather to fix my terrarium so they can go back in. im absolutely obsessed with these plants now, they can go almost everywhere but they especially like my flow barrier on the sponge filter in my 5 gallon aquarium. my betta was getting blown all around so i put a nursery pot to stop the super high flow, and i get plantable cuttings with huge roots within a week in there
1000% agree on Lux. It has been one of my top fav Philo for a long time. It's absolutely stunning and I can't believe more people don't have them. Also high up on my list is the Poly. I love how dainty and soft the leaves are in comparison to the Tortum. And they have lobes! Top 10 (not variegated) for me would be:
- Poly
- Lux
- El Choco
- Mexicanum
- Longilobatum
- 69686
- Majestic
- Serpens Chocolate
- Gloriosum
- Colombia
And an honorable mention for the Lemon Lime Heartleaf. A big, bushy, trailing pot always brings me joy 💖
Vancouver, Canada - They just popped new El Coco red, 4inch for $30 in a nursery - first time I am seeing it in stores
