I was choking on those prices though what’s considered expensive is relative to one’s budget and lifestyle. Like you said, this is your business and livelihood. The plants are stunning! I would be terrified to kill them! Maybe when I have your experience and knowledge I can move up to the big leagues! 😀 Thank you for posting. I always enjoy your videos!
Same girl same I was literally like 😮 but very true when it comes to her business and lively hood. I would love to be able to purchase even a plant that’s $100
Same. I'll spend $500 on a one night hotel on vacation long before id spend it on leaves, but I like travel and she likes leavea, everyone has their own thing like she said!
Yeah, I'm stressed out that I'm going to kill the $12.99 grocery store plant. I was literally floored when she mentioned the price of some of those plants. I had NO idea a houseplant could be that expensive. I'm shocked.
Video Idea: At the end of every growing season, do a Hoya growth update and have B roll pictures of previous years for comparison. I LOVED your Hoya collection video this spring and would be so interested in seeing the growth you have had on them :)
Oh my i would be having an anxiety attack every night that the plant would die! I dont kill plants frequently but it happens.. my normal splurges are around 30-40 bucks and thats all im really willing to spend in case i lose the plant.. i dunno.. im good at propagation, especially if i think a plant is declining for some reason.. so im not sure why i worry so much..
Plants aside, your hair looks absolutely stunning! My biggest splurge was Monstera Thai Constellation cutting, she now has three gorgeous leaves and I love her to pieces. The next big purchase will definitely be Anthurium varocqueanum, but first I need to make sure I can take care of other anthuriums in my collection, so that's my wishlist plant for 2022!
This was fun! It’s a cool way to see plants that some of us wouldn’t have a chance to spend the money on or wouldn’t see because we stay looking in our comfortable price range. It’s your money, you spend it how you want!
The most I've ever spent on a plant, was last year - for a cebu blue pothos. I had been wanting one for years, and the prices were constantly in the $250 range, here in Australia, for a tiny cutting. When I eventually found one for $80, I jumped on it straight away. The very next week, the same online nursery knocked them down, by half price, because they were overstocked. It grew quickly in it's first season, and I managed to propagate 10 cuttings. Now I have a huge plant and I've just recently taken more cuttings. While it was a lot of money for me, something I normally wouldn't pay for a plant - I made sure I had experience caring for pothos beforehand (so I wouldn't kill it) and propagated it as soon as possible. That way, I get value for money. I can justify the cost, that way.
The most I’ve spent is $50 on my monstera deliciosa. I’m waiting for all the rare plants I want to be cheaper because I refuse to spend even $50 on a plant anymore. No shade to anyone who buys pricey plants I’m just cheap.😂
Sameee😂 I only have a few plants because I just can’t justify spending money on plants at this point in my life, but one day I want to have a jungle house😩
@your overwatered plant Don’t feel bad. Parents love to purchase things for their children. We like to gift our children when we can. It gives us joy. You sound like a very responsible teenager. I would call your parents lucky to have a young adult like you. My first grandchild was born last year and I would be thrilled for him to ask me for pots or plants! 🥰. Wishing you the best of luck. Happy growing!!
I really wish you guys were from Europe, I bought mine for under 10€, don’t get me wrong they still expensive here, but some supermarkets sell a lot of considered rare plants for a good price. I recently bought me a calathea orbifolia for 8€🥰🥰 waited until it went on sale, it was 18€
I splurged on a Whale Fin and spent $64. That is the most I have spent on one plant, however I did drop $285 on a plant haul of 7 plants so I am pretty frugal when it comes to buying plants. I will wait on a wish list plant until the prices come down, I kill too many plants to spend a lot of money on them. By the way, your hair is fabulous. It is really silky and shiny.
U dont ever have to justify what u spend on plants, those who collect, like myself, understand. I just converted my back room into a dedicated plant room so currently moving 300+ plants to their new home and setting up my new space to be able to purchase rarer plants and have the right equipment set up or ready to be able to provide the right climatic conditions for my investments. Xxxx luv ya video, bubs must be sitting higher today, your breathless 🇦🇺
I love seeing the more expensive plants, its so easy to see more common plants. Seeing such a big obliqua is amazing and still so rare to see more than one leaf!!
The biggest I spent on a plant was 25€ , it was 6 years ago and still regret it... because it was kind of a spontaneous purchase and definitely wouldn’t do it after thinking a little.the plant is still with me , remaining- lesson learned 😁 . I think you really have to think through and be absolutely sure it’s exactly what you are looking for, especially on the high range . There are always will be more, and the right one and don’t rush!!
@@queenjeski591 actually yes, it bloomed last year finally!! I was so angry at her for doing just nothing and questioning my patience😤It is Venus slipper orchid) 😉
I loved seeing these !!! Share some more of your rare plant beauties!!!! Don’t be shy!!! We love seeing them! Even those who say they’re too expensive, they LOVE seeing them!!! Your plants are lush and healthy-they are gorgeous!!!! Give us more Houseplant Growth Updates!!
I think what I appreciate most about your channel and videos is how very real and frank you are about plant life :) Your positivity gets me through the mornings!
Yeah was think the same. I got a small red spot tricolor with three leaves, about the same size as the one in the video (baby plant so no cutting) for 400$.
I’ve never been soooo early on an Harly video 😆 I love your videos Harli, you’re one of the first plant parents that encourage me to start my TH-cam channel ☺️ it’s a French channel since I live in Paris 🇫🇷 but I speak English as well and can’t count the hours I’ve spent on your videos lol they’ve been so so helpful for my plant mom journey ❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️ merci beaucoup pour toutes ces vidéos ☺️
This was an awesome video! Part 2 PLEASE!😁 As someone who got into plants last year, I definitely have my share of plant splurges. It's so interesting to see how the prices fluctuate based on what's going on in the world. 😁
Dear Harli, your journey with the houseplant are really and totaly plant worthy!❤️❤️❤️ you are one of the plant YTuber that all plants deserved to be in your care at least. Keep it up 🥰 i always loved and adorw you’re channel.
Love the fact that you say what you spent on high priced plants. not many youtubers will do that. loved the video ❤ my last plant purchase was in march and was a syngonium red spot tri colour and here in the uk it cost me £300/$400 for a two leaf plant and its now a good size plant with 5 leafs and one on the way, syngonium are my favourites xx
You're plants ALWAYYYSS make me drool. Those splurges are incredible, I'm so excited to finish school and kickstart my career so I can do the same! My most recent splurge was a Philodendron atabapoense in a 3.5" pot, I managed to find it local to me for $80 USD! I actually just picked it up today :)
Im actually about to start my at-home plant business, and thanks for the tip that you can write off the plants on your taxes! I didnt think of that part yet! SUCH PRETTY PLANTS!! i think if the plant makes YOU happy and YOU think its worth it. then go for it!
I don’t know why I think you face looks adorable with that pregnancy glow and every time you look at a plant you le eyes shine ✨ even brighter you look even more beautiful being pregnant 🤰 💗
I been around house plants for decades. My pap bought me a Monstera Adonai in an owl hanging planter for $8.00 when I was 14. Had till I went into Air Force at 18. I am now 55. Been wanting another but not willing to buy an uprooted nod. Plant prices are ridiculous going up and in some cases causing poaching of plants from their natural habitat. I love plants, and the conservation of house plants in their natural habitat. Harli, I love how you do take propigate your plants to make them more readily available. Your working on your base stoke understandable. You should check on the zoning ordinance and install a nice size greenhouse in your backyard.
Okay I just need to say your face looks amazing!!! What ever your doing girl keep doing it! Idk if it’s the pregnancy glow or a new skin care routine but your looking flawless!!
Don't ever be ashamed of the price you pay. It's your business and you bring us videos of very beautiful plants! I'm cheap and always buy my plants on sale. I just splurged on my number one wish plant. Which I still feel like I got a good deal but finally got my monstera adansonii! One of my local nurseries finally had one and I had gotten money for my birthday. It was like it was ment to be!
This was awesome!! At the end I was saying alert, alert and then you said it. I could not think of anything either lol. Your hair looks so beautiful and as always your just glowing and stunning
Impressed with your taste. I'm not the big syngonium fan that you are, but they do seem easy enough to grow. I only have one, but it has increased rapidly. Loved your fenestrated baby. I grew and sold hostas years ago, when they were $250 a division for some sorts, and at auction might hit $1000. In today's dollars, think $1000 to $10,000. Then a guy named Hans Hansen started TC of those rare plants and was able to reproduce even the most complex variegation patterns. They had said it couldn't be done, but he did it. Then in a short period, those $1000 plants were $25. Nurseries were buying tissue culture liners for about $5 for a top shelf one. Cheaper for others. Those syngoniums will end up in a lab. Too much easy pickings. Hans is now a plantsman out of the lab, mostly hybridizing. But there will be someone. So chew on that when you consider a 2K plant. A queen anthurium is not a challenge in the least for a TC lab. If you're in the business, I suggest finding a lab and getting plants. You might have to order a few flats to make the minimum, but you'll have inventory and the profit margins are decent even if you sell those plants that are now $2k for $100. It's coming. You heard it from me, lol.
Omg I am in love with your syngonium scrambled egg! I didn't even know they existed but I now have a new wishlist plant (for when I'm rich 🤣🤣). And I believe you were looking for the phrase *News flash* lol. These are all so beautiful, thank you for sharing 🪴🤩
Thank you for sharing!! Loved seeing your collection. Most I've spent was $120 on an albo node, which shot it's first leaf out and is rooting. YAY! 😀Definitely a risk.
I love your videos and when you talk about selling your propagation plants I have never heard you say how or where you do this. Are you talking local, friends or general public?
In the fall of 2021 my local walmart had a big clearance of house plants for 1 dollar apiece. I bought 25 of them mostly because I liked the ceramic planters they were in.most were in pretty bad shape, I lost 2 of them. Now I have around 50, the most I payed is 12.99 for a hoya wyettii. I love to buy from the clearance carts, last week I found a philo Brazil on a table the plants were going in the trash. They let me have it for 4.00, washed the leaves and watered it good and now its beautiful. Most of my plants are rescues, makes me happy to give them a second chance.
If it’s your passion, you will find a way to buy it. I’ve seen people buy vehicles way out of their budget and pay over $1k a month for that vehicle. If you want it bad enough, you will find a way. I save a certain amount of my paycheck each month for my plant budget. You shouldn’t have to include a disclaimer on a video like this, but it just shows your heart is in the right place. It’s your job, and obviously we support your job by watching your videos, and commenting on them. Keep being you Harli, you’re a sweetheart.
My plant "splurge" was a 20euro (~24usd) variegated monstera node without roots or anything. To me it was my most expensive plant so far BUT I also only started the hobby 5weeks ago! And as far as I can tell, they usually go for 30-40€ with the level of white stripes this node has so I'm looking forward to seeing it grow
thank you for being up front. I am not in the plant business. I just love plants. I won't spend more than 30 or 40 on any plant. I just spent 25 on a hoya curtsii and that was a lot for me. I love to buy the small plants at a fair price and watch them grow.
Hi Harli, I enjoyed this video, as always. The 218 comments were almost as interesting as your video. I may never purchase one of these rare and beautiful plants , however, I do love seeing them in your care and learning about their price ranges. I learn a lot from your channel. I always appreciate the time and effort you put in to you content. All of these plants are gorgeous and I am sure they bring you great joy. 👏🌿🥰💚
Giiirl! Thank you for being so honest and thank you for this video. I've got a severe craving for syngoniums after watching your videos:`) My most expensive plant (so far) is my dear Alocasia Reginula Black Velvet - I just pray it survives me haha! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for being transparent & sharing prices with us. I could not splurge like this bc I would be afraid I’d kill it. 😅 but it’s also not a business I’m in. The scrambled egg Syngonium was my favorite. ❤️
I enjoyed you sharing this post. This your business & you know you have to spend $ to get the best in plants you can for your business. I can't wait for you to have your shop open and I can take a road trip from Washington state to visit your shop. THANK YOU HARLI YOUR VIDEOS
Hey girl never any judgement here, you dont owe anyone an explanation on what you spent on plants. I was the one who commented on the page on the scrambled egg when you bought it asking for the unboxing video. I was just so excited it was you lol
Love your videos and how real you are. How do we see your plant shop?? It's not on a link. I haven't really splurged on anything yet..lol..I want a variegated Hoya Wayetii so bad that will probably end up being my splurge ..lol
Hi Harli! Those are some pretty plants. I don't recall spending any more than $20 on a plant. I would like to know how to find your plant shop, too. Is it online, or do you just sell locally? TFS!
Thanks for sharing Hari. I share your love for syngoniums! However, your collection is better! I live vicariously through you. Any of my plants that are considered rare or hard to find, I’ve gotten through trades. ♥️🪴
You look so pretty and those plants look soo cool! I really liked the variegated money plant and the strawberry syngonium. Also your monstera in the background is beautiful, that's the goal for my baby one!
I’m 3 weeks into house plants but 4 years into orchid keeping. Most expensive orchid was I wanna say $65. Most expensive houseplant has been a $45 philodendron splendid and I love it to pieces. I just staked it on a moss pole and moved it to a 6 inch pot. So she little. But I love her so much.
I’ve never seen an obliqua I liked until I saw yours, and that’s real talk. It’s beautiful and you should be proud, along with that strawberry ice’s crazy gorgeous variegation. Forgot to mention my first splurge that just happened, I got a young monstera albo. Like you mentioned in the video, I was waiting for the perfect variegation (more important to me than maturity), plus a seller I trusted, and when that fell into place I felt good buying it. I’m obsessed with the variegation. Well worth the money.
My biggest plant splurge was 69.99. It was a large pink lady philodendron in an 8 inch hanging basket in a forgotten corner of a local hardware store far from their plant area (where they were selling tiny painted ladies, like maybe 1/10 the size for 35. Saw it the day before leaving town, decided not to get it because of price, regretted it the entire trip, and when I got back it was still in that forgotten corner of the hardware store waiting for me. Girl is beautiful. The new growth, which there is a lot of has very pink stems, and the new leaves are more super vibrant. It felt like a risk since it looked a little dull since it was getting zero light, but it is soooo happy and healthy and now I have to figure out what to do since it’s growing like a weed and I have limited space.
Harli I love your videos, and I commend you for the honesty of plant prices, as well as encouraging people not to spend money they don’t have! It’s funny I feel in love with house plants starting in like October I think of last year and im looking to buy my first house now and im all about light in windows I toured a place with too many trees and I was like my plants can’t live here haha
I’ve always loved variegated money trees.... I could never afford one though, haha. They are gorgeous! It’s fun to see these rarer plants in your collection. If I had the means, I’d be splurging too. Enjoy it!!
Wow, I don't feel so bad now. I have been really freaked out that I have spent $1,000 (probably more) so far this year on plants, plant stuff & shipping. The most I've spent on 1 plant is $75 plus $26 shipping, and I thought that was expensive, lol!
The Syngonium Scrambled Egg is to die for and the one with the super long leaves, wow! I'm not big into plants that cost more than like $40 tops, lol but I get it, they're stunning and when it's an investment it makes sense to splurge. I'm more of a simple old Pothos girl, there are so many beautiful inexpensive plants out there!
So, My $38 Hoya Retusa Splurge is easier to swallow now! Gorgeous 4" pot, three-foot-long specimen! I just have too many trust issues, to order something for that price online, from somebody I haven't met or for a plant, that I haven't seen in-person . (sort of speak).
Im always amazed by the difference in prices for plants. I often see people in the U.S. paying hundreds of dollars for the same plant i brought here in Australia for only $20. So splurging on an expensive plant here could be cheap as chips over there for u. The most i have ever spent on one plant is $40, but i got it for half price. And i would very much like to say, Harli, u look absolutely radiant during ur pregnancy. 🌺
it’s so cool to see how you’ve made money and moved up in the plant world to be able to afford wishlist plants like this, CONGRATULATIONS!! it must be so amazing to see how far your collection has come 😆. the most i’ve ever spent on a plant was $59 NZD so probably around $30 USD and this was a huge amount of money for me as i am still in year 12 in high school and saving for a car 😊😅🚗 :))
Those plants are all awesome! I hadn’t heard of a few of them before. This year I splurged on a few things since I graduated from grad school 😅 I got a mature rhapidophora decursiva, an anthurium forgetti, mature anthurium magnificum, and my ultimate wishlist plant anthurium wendlingeri 🥰 I also received my second top wish list plant as an extremely generous gift from someone in my local community who was spreading kindness in light of all the wild plant prices! It was an alocasia cuprea and makes me so happy

I'm going to make my husband watch this so he sees that when I spend $20 on a plant... it's not that bad. Lol
Haaa - good strategy!
Me too! Haha
Hahaha
Not a bad idea sis!
me too
I was choking on those prices though what’s considered expensive is relative to one’s budget and lifestyle. Like you said, this is your business and livelihood. The plants are stunning!

Same. I'll spend $500 on a one night hotel on vacation long before id spend it on leaves, but I like travel and she likes leavea, everyone has their own thing like she said!
Agree and you can prop and get $ back it’s an investment
Yeah, I'm stressed out that I'm going to kill the $12.99 grocery store plant. I was literally floored when she mentioned the price of some of those plants. I had NO idea a houseplant could be that expensive. I'm shocked.
Variegated Money Trees here in the Philippines can cost for as low as $9 only!
Video Idea: At the end of every growing season, do a Hoya growth update and have B roll pictures of previous years for comparison.
I LOVED your Hoya collection video this spring and would be so interested in seeing the growth you have had on them :)
I can't get over your hair, gosh have i ever seen more beautiful hair???!?!?!? looks so perfect
Oh my i would be having an anxiety attack every night that the plant would die! I dont kill plants frequently but it happens.. my normal splurges are around 30-40 bucks and thats all im really willing to spend in case i lose the plant.. i dunno.. im good at propagation, especially if i think a plant is declining for some reason.. so im not sure why i worry so much..
My sentiments exactly

That’s been my splurge this year. It’s taking forever to root. I’m struggling honestly but I’m just going to keep the faith. 🥰
So how much was it? Just curious
I love when people talk plant prices!! So interesting to look back on later. Thank you!!!
This was fun! It’s a cool way to see plants that some of us wouldn’t have a chance to spend the money on or wouldn’t see because we stay looking in our comfortable price range. It’s your money, you spend it how you want!
Thanks for being so honest about this. I think if a $2,000 plant makes you happy and gets you smiling everyday, I say go for it without regrets!

I pay 35 for one I wanted and I actually keep an eye until it went on sale I am cheap I love plant but I am not paying over 50 for a plant juts me lol
Sameee😂 I only have a few plants because I just can’t justify spending money on plants at this point in my life, but one day I want to have a jungle house😩

Hahahaha your intro 🤣 love how real you are with everything you put out in the world 🥰
I spent alittle over $500 for a nice anthurium and philodendron😅for me only to kill them during my 1st trimester sickness😭😩
It seems that plants become very popular lately and very expensive! every body is into plant's even men🌿
I’m almost embarrassed to say my biggest plant splurge was $21.
Your collection is as beautiful as you are. I’m so happy for you. 💚😊🌱
I just bought my dreamed up syngonium red spot tricolor, it was ~100$ for a leaf cutting (I live in Poland) and omg prices in US are jaw dropping :O
Yeah was think the same. I got a small red spot tricolor with three leaves, about the same size as the one in the video (baby plant so no cutting) for 400$.
I noticed European countries haven't succumbed to this plant gouging craze. Good for you!
I really appreciate your honesty, this is your livelihood so I get it, beautiful plants!!!!

I really can’t get enough of that Strawberry Ice, MORE PLEASE.
Wow nice plant
Monstera is looking so healthy
This variegated one is so beautiful
But expensive
Thanks a lot my dear friend For sharing
This was an awesome video! Part 2 PLEASE!😁 As someone who got into plants last year, I definitely have my share of plant splurges. It's so interesting to see how the prices fluctuate based on what's going on in the world. 😁
hi❤...i love plnts too...i collected 42 varieties of syngonuim...just looking at them makes me happy 😊
Dear Harli, your journey with the houseplant are really and totaly plant worthy!❤️❤️❤️ you are one of the plant YTuber that all plants deserved to be in your care at least. Keep it up 🥰 i always loved and adorw you’re channel.
That syngonium strawberry ice is to die for 😍. So gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Can we all just admire how harli is GLOWING!?
Beautiful before and now
I’m soooo obsessed with syngoniums and philodendron right now omg 😆 I wish I had a bigger room for all my plants 🪴
Love the fact that you say what you spent on high priced plants. not many youtubers will do that. loved the video ❤
my last plant purchase was in march and was a syngonium red spot tri colour and here in the uk it cost me £300/$400 for a two leaf plant and its now a good size plant with 5 leafs and one on the way, syngonium are my favourites xx

I been around house plants for decades. My pap bought me a Monstera Adonai in an owl hanging planter for $8.00 when I was 14.
Had till I went into Air Force at 18. I am now 55.
Been wanting another but not willing to buy an uprooted nod.
Plant prices are ridiculous going up and in some cases causing poaching of plants from their natural habitat.
I love plants, and the conservation of house plants in their natural habitat.
Harli, I love how you do take propigate your plants to make them more readily available.
Your working on your base stoke understandable.
You should check on the zoning ordinance and install a nice size greenhouse in your backyard.
Okay I just need to say your face looks amazing!!! What ever your doing girl keep doing it! Idk if it’s the pregnancy glow or a new skin care routine but your looking flawless!!
You chose really beautiful plants. You have great taste. I loved them all. Wow that oblique leaf is gorgeous.
Your hair looks absolutely incredible like this I freakin love it 🤩👏😍
Omg those are such beautiful plants. That obliqua tho!!! U have such an amazing collection. And thank you for sharing your journey
Also my plant splurge was a philo splendid
Extraordinary and beautiful plants Harli, they were worth the prices you paid because you love them! 🌿❤️
Thanks for your honesty! These beautiful plants really are priceless, just like our children. Your investments were worth it.
Don't ever be ashamed of the price you pay. It's your business and you bring us videos of very beautiful plants! I'm cheap and always buy my plants on sale. I just splurged on my number one wish plant. Which I still feel like I got a good deal but finally got my monstera adansonii! One of my local nurseries finally had one and I had gotten money for my birthday. It was like it was ment to be!
This was awesome!! At the end I was saying alert, alert and then you said it. I could not think of anything either lol. Your hair looks so beautiful and as always your just glowing and stunning
Motherhood looks gorgeous on you!! 🙌🏽 Everyone always asking about your shop an where to buy from you but no answers?? Strawberry ice is amazing
Impressed with your taste. I'm not the big syngonium fan that you are, but they do seem easy enough to grow. I only have one, but it has increased rapidly. Loved your fenestrated baby. I grew and sold hostas years ago, when they were $250 a division for some sorts, and at auction might hit $1000. In today's dollars, think $1000 to $10,000. Then a guy named Hans Hansen started TC of those rare plants and was able to reproduce even the most complex variegation patterns. They had said it couldn't be done, but he did it. Then in a short period, those $1000 plants were $25. Nurseries were buying tissue culture liners for about $5 for a top shelf one. Cheaper for others. Those syngoniums will end up in a lab. Too much easy pickings. Hans is now a plantsman out of the lab, mostly hybridizing. But there will be someone. So chew on that when you consider a 2K plant. A queen anthurium is not a challenge in the least for a TC lab. If you're in the business, I suggest finding a lab and getting plants. You might have to order a few flats to make the minimum, but you'll have inventory and the profit margins are decent even if you sell those plants that are now $2k for $100. It's coming. You heard it from me, lol.
Omg I am in love with your syngonium scrambled egg! I didn't even know they existed but I now have a new wishlist plant (for when I'm rich 🤣🤣). And I believe you were looking for the phrase *News flash* lol. These are all so beautiful, thank you for sharing 🪴🤩
@your overwatered plant 😆😆 its a process... we'll get there, maybe, lol. Until then I'll live vicariously through Harli and her shop!!
I think this is such a fun video idea! Loved it! And you're right, some people ball out on cars or vacations, etc.
If anything, videos like this curb my spending because I can just live vicariously through your spending!
Omg i never expected prices to be this high 😬 I hope they will grow big and beautiful for you!
You look so cute being preg!! You are just glowing!! You are a business, more than I can do, but it's cute!!
Sorry but I didn't understand when she said it might send out a runner and not a leaf, so what's a runner? Thanks ❤️🌿
Thank you for sharing!! Loved seeing your collection. Most I've spent was $120 on an albo node, which shot it's first leaf out and is rooting. YAY! 😀Definitely a risk.
Im sooo early.. First comment. I love you Harli. Such a plant mama inspiration
Love you too! Thank you for stopping by! I hope you have a good day & nice weekend!
Thank you for sharing even though it feels vulnerable!
I loved seeing all of these, it was super fun!
I recently picked up a variegated epipremnum pinnatum, philodendron mamei, syngonium ice frost and another ppp. Love them allllll!!
I love your videos and when you talk about selling your propagation plants I have never heard you say how or where you do this. Are you talking local, friends or general public?
Beautiful plants! I can’t decide which plant is my favorite! Great choices
Hmmmm Right
In the fall of 2021 my local walmart had a big clearance of house plants for 1 dollar apiece. I bought 25 of them mostly because I liked the ceramic planters they were in.most were in pretty bad shape, I lost 2 of them. Now I have around 50, the most I payed is 12.99 for a hoya wyettii. I love to buy from the clearance carts, last week I found a philo Brazil on a table the plants were going in the trash. They let me have it for 4.00, washed the leaves and watered it good and now its beautiful. Most of my plants are rescues, makes me happy to give them a second chance.
If it’s your passion, you will find a way to buy it. I’ve seen people buy vehicles way out of their budget and pay over $1k a month for that vehicle. If you want it bad enough, you will find a way. I save a certain amount of my paycheck each month for my plant budget. You shouldn’t have to include a disclaimer on a video like this, but it just shows your heart is in the right place. It’s your job, and obviously we support your job by watching your videos, and commenting on them. Keep being you Harli, you’re a sweetheart.
My plant "splurge" was a 20euro (~24usd) variegated monstera node without roots or anything. To me it was my most expensive plant so far BUT I also only started the hobby 5weeks ago! And as far as I can tell, they usually go for 30-40€ with the level of white stripes this node has so I'm looking forward to seeing it grow
That strawberry shake is worth every single pretty penny, IMO. It’s gorgeous 😍
Crazy prices for crazy beautiful plants thank you for sharing 😊
thank you for being up front. I am not in the plant business. I just love plants. I won't spend more than 30 or 40 on any plant. I just spent 25 on a hoya curtsii and that was a lot for me. I love to buy the small plants at a fair price and watch them grow.
Those syngoniums!!! Omg I’m in love
Hi Harli, I enjoyed this video, as always. The 218 comments were almost as interesting as your video. I may never purchase one of these rare and beautiful plants , however, I do love seeing them in your care and learning about their price ranges. I learn a lot from your channel. I always appreciate the time and effort you put in to you content. All of these plants are gorgeous and I am sure they bring you great joy. 👏🌿🥰💚
I haven’t really been into syngonium but WOW….those are some beautiful plants!
Giiirl! Thank you for being so honest and thank you for this video.
I've got a severe craving for syngoniums after watching your videos:`) My most expensive plant (so far) is my dear Alocasia Reginula Black Velvet - I just pray it survives me haha!
Keep up the great work!
Thanks for being transparent & sharing prices with us. I could not splurge like this bc I would be afraid I’d kill it. 😅 but it’s also not a business I’m in. The scrambled egg Syngonium was my favorite. ❤️
I enjoyed you sharing this post. This your business & you know you have to spend $ to get the best in plants you can for your business. I can't wait for you to have your shop open and I can take a road trip from Washington state to visit your shop. THANK YOU HARLI YOUR VIDEOS
I love syngoniums, can you make a video only about them 😍
I absolutely love your strawberry ice syngonium. I watched your video when you first got it and I fell in love.
Hey girl never any judgement here, you dont owe anyone an explanation on what you spent on plants. I was the one who commented on the page on the scrambled egg when you bought it asking for the unboxing video. I was just so excited it was you lol
Love your videos and how real you are. How do we see your plant shop?? It's not on a link. I haven't really splurged on anything yet..lol..I want a variegated Hoya Wayetii so bad that will probably end up being my splurge ..lol
Hi Harli! Those are some pretty plants. I don't recall spending any more than $20 on a plant. I would like to know how to find your plant shop, too. Is it online, or do you just sell locally? TFS!
Most recent splurge was a Painted Lady Philodendron for $80 but honestly so worth it. She's GORGEOUS and has been putting out new growth like crazy!
Thanks for sharing Hari. I share your love for syngoniums! However, your collection is better! I live vicariously through you. Any of my plants that are considered rare or hard to find, I’ve gotten through trades. ♥️🪴
You look so pretty and those plants look soo cool! I really liked the variegated money plant and the strawberry syngonium. Also your monstera in the background is beautiful, that's the goal for my baby one!
I’m 3 weeks into house plants but 4 years into orchid keeping. Most expensive orchid was I wanna say $65. Most expensive houseplant has been a $45 philodendron splendid and I love it to pieces. I just staked it on a moss pole and moved it to a 6 inch pot. So she little. But I love her so much.
Thanks for the transparency. Plants are your job so I don't judge you at all. I've spent thousands on tattoos and no one gives me flack ;]
Loved this comment! It made me laugh out loud!! So true. We spend money or time on what is important to us individually. It’s all good. 😊
I’ve never seen an obliqua I liked until I saw yours, and that’s real talk. It’s beautiful and you should be proud, along with that strawberry ice’s crazy gorgeous variegation.
Forgot to mention my first splurge that just happened, I got a young monstera albo. Like you mentioned in the video, I was waiting for the perfect variegation (more important to me than maturity), plus a seller I trusted, and when that fell into place I felt good buying it. I’m obsessed with the variegation. Well worth the money.
My biggest plant splurge was 69.99. It was a large pink lady philodendron in an 8 inch hanging basket in a forgotten corner of a local hardware store far from their plant area (where they were selling tiny painted ladies, like maybe 1/10 the size for 35. Saw it the day before leaving town, decided not to get it because of price, regretted it the entire trip, and when I got back it was still in that forgotten corner of the hardware store waiting for me. Girl is beautiful. The new growth, which there is a lot of has very pink stems, and the new leaves are more super vibrant. It felt like a risk since it looked a little dull since it was getting zero light, but it is soooo happy and healthy and now I have to figure out what to do since it’s growing like a weed and I have limited space.
Where do I find your plants for sale? I am looking for a couple small plants to put in my first terrarium.
Where did you get this SHIRT!?! I love it
Harli I love your videos, and I commend you for the honesty of plant prices, as well as encouraging people not to spend money they don’t have!
It’s funny I feel in love with house plants starting in like October I think of last year and im looking to buy my first house now and im all about light in windows I toured a place with too many trees and I was like my plants can’t live here haha
I live my syngonium dreams vicariously through you.. lol
Too funny, but so true! Same here!! 😉
I love your hair seriously so pretty! ❤️
I’ve always loved variegated money trees.... I could never afford one though, haha. They are gorgeous! It’s fun to see these rarer plants in your collection. If I had the means, I’d be splurging too. Enjoy it!!
I had no idea those beauties were $400-$600. They are so pretty! I’d take a nice photograph and frame it just in case.
Wow, I don't feel so bad now. I have been really freaked out that I have spent $1,000 (probably more) so far this year on plants, plant stuff & shipping. The most I've spent on 1 plant is $75 plus $26 shipping, and I thought that was expensive, lol!
The Syngonium Scrambled Egg is to die for and the one with the super long leaves, wow! I'm not big into plants that cost more than like $40 tops, lol but I get it, they're stunning and when it's an investment it makes sense to splurge. I'm more of a simple old Pothos girl, there are so many beautiful inexpensive plants out there!
So,
My $38 Hoya Retusa Splurge is easier to swallow now!
Gorgeous 4" pot, three-foot-long specimen!
I just have too many trust issues, to order something for that price online, from somebody I haven't met or for a plant, that I haven't seen in-person .
(sort of speak).
Harli, they are all stunning and gorgeous.
That syngonium strawberry ice is STUNNING. Omg 😭
Im always amazed by the difference in prices for plants. I often see people in the U.S. paying hundreds of dollars for the same plant i brought here in Australia for only $20. So splurging on an expensive plant here could be cheap as chips over there for u. The most i have ever spent on one plant is $40, but i got it for half price. And i would very much like to say, Harli, u look absolutely radiant during ur pregnancy. 🌺
That strawberry ice & red spot tricolor are insane my goooodddd
it’s so cool to see how you’ve made money and moved up in the plant world to be able to afford wishlist plants like this, CONGRATULATIONS!! it must be so amazing to see how far your collection has come 😆. the most i’ve ever spent on a plant was $59 NZD so probably around $30 USD and this was a huge amount of money for me as i am still in year 12 in high school and saving for a car 😊😅🚗 :))
You have the best looking obliqua I think I've seen.
@Harli G where do you sale your plants.
Those plants are all awesome! I hadn’t heard of a few of them before. This year I splurged on a few things since I graduated from grad school 😅 I got a mature rhapidophora decursiva, an anthurium forgetti, mature anthurium magnificum, and my ultimate wishlist plant anthurium wendlingeri 🥰 I also received my second top wish list plant as an extremely generous gift from someone in my local community who was spreading kindness in light of all the wild plant prices! It was an alocasia cuprea and makes me so happy
