who's living for the more confident and sultry Nick that we're seeing recently? It's like he broke out of his shell and is radiating energy and i'm here for it!
I just found your "plants I hate" video, which made me actually laugh pretty hard cause of your passion. I sent it to ten of my friends, who also loved it. I am also super passionate (my friends say dorky) about outside plants and specifically roses. It's great to see your love of plants. Thank you for bringing light to a world that's kinda dark right now.
Top of my wishlist are Cissus discolor and Monstera Peru. I passed up a beautiful 6in trailing basket of discolor (before I knew what it was, plus it was a steal) it’s been months and I can’t get it out of my head!! Internet folk are asking the same price for unrooted cuttings 💔
Hi Nick! Those are some really cool wish list plants. I think you should treat yourself to at least one of them. I still have the adansonii on my wish list. There are more, but that's at the top. I love watching you talk about plants. Your facial expressions are so cute! Thank you for sharing and making my day!
Hey I’m also in the philly area! I haven’t had much luck with plants but decided to try again and found your channel. I got a cutting from one of my grandma’s jasmine plants- and I have some African violets coming next week. I... only know flowers. But these videos are a great jumping off point for learning about different kinds of plants!
Just got my second small plant of rhipsalis paradoxa. Hoping to make a larger plant with these two small babies. Rhipsalis is so easy to grow and such an underrated plant group.
Hi, Nick Can you talk about crotons? Pleaaaaaaase!!! There’s so little info about this plant. I have been struggling with one since 2015. That plant gets into my nerves. I don’t know what to do wit it😭
An aunt has her Xanadu's growing on mossy rocks so they will not grow to full size. And I have that dischidia nummularia that you want! A friend gave it to me. We don't know much about plants and i thought it's some kind of peperomia. So now i know, thank you.
I'm fairly new to your channel and I really like your videos! I was happy to learn that you're from Philadelphia, I'm actually not that far away. I live in Reading, Pennsylvania, anyway keep up the great work 🖤
You always have interesting choices. Those ''lemon lime'' xanadus are common and cheap in Australia. Xanadus sold as large outdoor plants and quite common in gardens. I also have the sininngia bullata. Leaves look lighter green than your pic. Nice purple flowers. Big rhizome. Didn't know what it was when I bought it. Was just looking for a pilea friendship plant and thought this had a similar texture. Can't get a cebu blue or a silvery Anne in any shop, nor a scindapsus treubii. They are my wishies.
I didn't know Thaumatophyllum Xanadu came in lime green! I just got myself a very large cutting (regular color) from a very old plant with a thick, woody stem and a bunch of aerial roots and I LOVE it. It's one of my favorite plants in my incipient collection. I have about 30 plants at home right now, but I'm going for the indoor jungle vibe. I'll start hunting for one of those lime green plants although It'll probably take more space than I have available right now.
I’m just getting into plants (other than the unkillables) so my wishlist is looooong! First on the list is cuttings from plants I’ve grown up with, it’s the only thing I’m hoping to get for my birthday next week 💕
A greenhouse carer from at the place where I bought my Rhipsalis baccifera said that a lot of the Rhipsalis family are endangered or extinct in the wild, because of destruction of their habitats. That could be why some prices are high. I like their Schlumbergera cousins too, very underrated or maybe out of fashion. I got a 40+ years old plant as a gift and it's still thriving.
The “Florida Beauty” caught my eye, when I watched a teacher I have studied floral arranging with, add a single leaf in her arrangement. I guess she has access to lists with photos. I looked up the plant. I found one seller with a price of $70. That was the first time I looked up a plant after just seeing it somewhere. I was surprised then not surprised that she got hold of a single leaf in perfect condition. She probably didn’t pay for it either. Friends. She has loads of friends in the floral industry. I used to go to The PHS Flower Show every year. It was something I could afford at the time. Florida Beauty would be a nice catch.
My holy grail plant for decades was Cochliostema odoratissimum. Imagine a big green bromeliad that’s actualy in the Commelinaceae and feels like a huge Rhoeo...with hanging clusters of glowingly blue fragrant flowers. Finally got a seedling from a friend at a botany greenhouse. It’s 3 feet wide now. ;-)
Hoya rotundiflora, hoya finlaysonii, hoya imperialis, philodendron melanochrysum and possibly a strelitzia nicolai if there's any room left for it in my appartment XD I love what you did with the trellis for your raphidaphora! Looks awesome and 'outdoory'
I've started growing things on my balcony and have taken quite a liking to the hobby. I've been binging your videos, it's great seeing someone have so much love and excitement for their hobby. I noticed you have a cat and some plants that are pet safe and said to be not pet safe. How do you go about making a happy home for both so kitty is not munching the wrong plant? Your little baby looks just like my little baby.
YES I so want the Ripsalis Paradoxa. I have seen one really large one in a ladies home over in AU. It looks to be huge. I agree it looks like it just flows out of the pot . The shapes of the leaves? kind of twisty are amazing. I did see one go on bay awhile back, maybe a month or so. Do not even remember what it went for. I have also seen just cuttings for higher prices. I fear I do not have enough years left to see it grow to maturity. YES I am older then dirt. But I still love my plants. The Plants are Beauties. My wish is a Wide or Round leaf Adansonii. I bought a young one but now it is here I am not sure it is really the wide leaf. But then it is a newly rooted cutting. Maybe they take time to mature.
I'm a big lover of Philodendrons, and slow growing plants always have that kind of special something. You have to love them and care for them to get rewarded. So i thought i wanted a Philodendron Ring of Fire. Like you i'm not a huge fan of variegation, but when it's right it's right. I thought that would be a great center of the room, the guy dressed in all glitter so the rest can just relax. But then they came out with the Philodendron Caramel Marble. It's INSANE. It killed the market for the Ring of Fire. It's so beautiful. There's no way i would ever pay that much for a plant even if i had that much, but i really want it when i can have it. It's like something a kid will draw turned into an actual plant.
I love your wish list plants. I have the Hoya Caudata and it’s beautiful. It was a cutting about 3 months ago and has already got 4 new tiny leaves 😊🌱💕
I have paid over $100 for 2 plants in my collection, the Pink Princess and Red Moon Philodendron. I save up for both and knew what I was getting into. I do have a Billietiae in my collection and I absolutely love it. The next plant on my wish list is a Philodendron Plowmanii. I am trying to get one for under $100 but I have not had much luck. I may have to have it imported as it is cheaper even with the extra charges.
6:45 Philodendron "Florida Beauty" is always variegated, "Florida" or "Florida Green" is the non-variegated version, "Florida Ghost" the one that comes in with white or brighter green leaves.
I'm in Australia and that green and cottony plant is sold commonly with succulents. Maybe look at some succulent growers around you and you might be able to find it. If it is easier to ship plants out of Australia than it is to ship in you should check out Paradisia nursery, they sell all the hoyas and the odds and ends on your list.
I just got my hands on a Rhipsalis paradoxa, but only the tiniest baby cuttings! I'm fine waiting, so NBD! I desperately want some symbiotic ant plants like a Dischidia major or Hydnophytum papuanum.
I'm currently obsessing over scindapsus Jade Satin. I guess the heart wants what the heart wants. And my green heart wants that plant! Everytime I see one for sale, it's sold before I can blink.
I just bought the sinningia bullata in the reduced shelves at Bunnings (Aust big box store). I hope it flowers! I’m scared now you told me it’s related to African violets, I’m a murderer of those!
Let me just warn you that it is incredibly difficult to keep pests off of a Xanadu! They always get bugs! I had a huge one that I unfortunately lost a couple years ago from mealy bugs. I was able to save a small cutting from it and have kept that alive for 2 years now. And now, that one has managed to have gotten spider mites and is in a touch and go kind of situation now. 😭🙄
that was my impression too. I was 'fortunate' enough that I stored the one I got at my moms (she has a lot less plants than I) and it unfortunately had spider mites and she had to throw it out along with her huge Alocasia which, not suprisingly, they seem to prefer even more
Hoya Caudata is my #1 wishlist plant :) If you want to buy online, you could try Gardino Nursery, but you have to check their website for ghost restocks.
You mentioned the Dischidia Numularia, I think it looks so cool! But there’s also the Dischidia Numularia Ideaminubu, and it’s like really curly and funky. It’s comparable to Hoya Hindu Rope. And it looks so cool!
I noticed with the quarantine plant shops are struggling to keep stock in , people are buying plants online like crazy including me lol I ordered a Gloriosum I’m nervous about because it’s outside the US but good reviews on customer service . I just didn’t want to pay over 100 here in the US
P billietiae, R decursiva, and A warocqueanum are at the top of my wishlist right now! After getting a gloriosum and a clarinervium and seeing them thrive, i'm ready to invite more rare aroids into my life
LICUALA GRANDIS ruffle fan palm! I love fan palms, all palms, I have a 6ft chinese fan palm I got for $20 at our nursery, can you believe it? I have a 7ft cat palm that is currently blooming. My point is, more people should try palms, they are not that difficult. Philodendron Plowmanii. Syngonium rayii. My burle marx philo is so beautiful I'm not sure I would want the more expensive long leaf varieties. I of course want the velvet leaf aroids but no way I'm spending that much on something that will be under $50 when the market is saturated within the next 2 years.
I'm with you on loving the plain green varieties of some plants. I keep looking for the Senecio macroglossus in green (I already have the variegated) but I cannot find it anywhere. And what I oftentimes see listed isn't Senecio macroglossus but Senecio mikaniodes/Delairea odorata (depending on the seller) and it's just not the same plant. Macroglossus has thin stems with succulent leaves while the mikaniodes/odorata has a thick stem and thin (and easily bruised) leaves. Hopefully one will show up some day.
I would LOVE to find a Epipremnum pinnatum Cebu blue, Philodendron hederaceum Micans (both very hard to find in Europe!!!), Philodendron mayoi, Hoya carnosa Mathilde, Hoya serpens, Hoya macrophylla (green and variegata), Sansevieria aubrytiana and Monstera pinnatipartita :D
If you go to an Orchid Expo you can find some of your wishlist plants for really good prices. I got a big philodendron pastazanum (with two leaves that are 9" across) for $40. Of course you have to wait for an Orchid Expo to happen near you and for quarantine to be over, haha. My wishlist plant is syngonium wendlandii and I can't find it anywhere!
SUSANNE HERE, i have one major one, on my wish list, i simply cannot find, and that is the Hoya Carnosa Chelsea, they simply dont exist at an affordbale price and they used to be very common, not any more, almost impossible to find, i have a house full of the thanksgiving cactus, and mini orchids, those are my favs, and snake plants, which om, i do not need mroe, but i always end up buying haha, love love the moonshine, anyhow i have one cutting of the chelsea that has been growing in water, it was a cutting off of a plant that was over 70 years old, and i have never found another, darn it, haha
Monstera Stadleyana Variegata is my number one at the moment, it just keeps slipping through my fingers! A few local plant hobbyists have sold cuttings and I am just always a minute too late to claiming it. It's one of those plants that since I have seen I can get it cheaper than online prices, I refuse to pay $100+ for it. You're right - it's about waiting for that moment when it falls into your lap.
There's a nursery in Florida called Paradise Found Nursery who sells the dischidia nummilaria and rhipsalis paradoxa! It's of course out of stock on their online store but I think they have an email sign up and their prices aren't too bad. I think they may have the plain Hoya Macrophylla as well.
My wishlist is kinda basic but this is what I'd really like: Staghorn Fern String of Hearts/Ceropegia woodii (eventually but not in the room I have now) Hoya Publicalyx Pothos Cebu Blue Calathea orbifolia Calathea Dottie Hoya carnosa Chelsea Hoya obovata Philodendron micans
I'm just sitting around patiently awaiting an Urban Jungle restock - just moved and left many plants behind with friends so I'm in the market for even basic houseplants that just wouldn't travel well in my car across the country
Sinningia bullata comes up every so often (every 4-6 weeks?) on eBay - if you save your search you'll get emailed about it. I purchased mine from Kartuz Greenhouses last year but at the time they only had the one. It is a great plant, and if you're fast you can try to propagate it before it flowers as apparently post-flowering it's very hard if not impossible to propagate.
1. Amydrium medium green (Spiderman monstera is its common name but looks like monstera peru's older brother) 2. Philodendron lupinum (the mature form is soooo different from the juvenile form.) 3. Philodendron jose buono imbe (the verigation i think is stable. But rhe verigation is what i like.) 4. Philodendron majesty (sucker for black leaves.) 5. Monstera peru ( its my white whale. I've been waiting for one for over a year. Texture alone is a sight) 6. Philodendron squamiferum ( i like the idea of a fuzzy stem. Theres another one out there but i like the leaves on this one) 7. Philodendron brandtianum (i love the verigation to the point it looks fake) 8. Philodendron pedatum golden dragon (i love the venstarions of the leaves. The lobes are different) 9. Zz raven (sucker for black leaves yet again) 10. Calatha warscewiczii (i love the coloration. Its velevet i think or it looks velvet. ) I think black leaves are going to be the new desired soon.
I have the green hoya macrophylla and I love it! It has amazing veining and is an extreme quick grower (gave me 6 huge leaves this year). I bought it for 7 dollars.
LOL Another fenestration lover here. I had no idea the Xanady came in lime green. Ticks both my boxes for producing live green. The auction photo does show it being a very light green but upon arrival it is green. She sends lovely starter plants though bare root but really good sized plants for very reasonable prices. So exciting for me is the new to me Epipremnum Pinnatum I just bought maybe a month ago. Young vines from OLD stem mother plant are starting to put out fenestrated leaves. Just starting wee holes. I am over the top about this. The plants came from Hawaii and shipping was amazing. bought one and was so leased with it I bought a second. LOL Might combine them to grow up a really tall moss pole.
I am completely obsessed with anthurium at the moment. I don't know what happened there. I feel like this obsession came out of nowhere, yet here we are.
I found Sinningia bullata for the first time late 2019 at an arid & exotics nursery in Perth, Western Australia. It's the only place I've seen them but still I'm amazed we have it here in Perth, AKA: the city that misses out on all the cool plants because of strict quarantine rules. It's on my wishlist but a bit out of my price range. I'll wait until they become more common for the price to go down, I think!
who's living for the more confident and sultry Nick that we're seeing recently? It's like he broke out of his shell and is radiating energy and i'm here for it!
The person who discovered the billietiae recently recorded a video about how to say it! It's billy-eh-tee-ae. She's french. Hope this helps!
yessss I loved that video!! so epic
What’s her name
I just found your "plants I hate" video, which made me actually laugh pretty hard cause of your passion. I sent it to ten of my friends, who also loved it. I am also super passionate (my friends say dorky) about outside plants and specifically roses. It's great to see your love of plants. Thank you for bringing light to a world that's kinda dark right now.
FYI - Kaylee Ellen listed philodendron billietiae as one of the easiest care rare philodendrons!
Idk what it is, but I just love all things peperomia! They're adorable! Who's with me??
My wish list: every hoya - that's all!
I just don't get hoyas
Wow. I loved this Sinningia bullata. The best caudex plant I ever saw!
I had the first one. Gave it to my mom and the third. It grows wild here.
I liked that you tripped over your words and kept it in. Real life. Who wants to edit more?!?
im stil so impressed with your knowledge of plant scientific names! love your videos!!
OMG Nick... that Rhipsalis paradoxa.... swoooooon!!! Now you made me absolutely need it, too!! Agreed!!! Great list!
Top of my wishlist are Cissus discolor and Monstera Peru. I passed up a beautiful 6in trailing basket of discolor (before I knew what it was, plus it was a steal) it’s been months and I can’t get it out of my head!! Internet folk are asking the same price for unrooted cuttings 💔
I've done SO good at not buying things, Ima buy something. -plantaholic logic
Hi Nick! Those are some really cool wish list plants. I think you should treat yourself to at least one of them. I still have the adansonii on my wish list. There are more, but that's at the top. I love watching you talk about plants. Your facial expressions are so cute! Thank you for sharing and making my day!
Nick, where is Muffin? I miss her! Great video as always! Most of these I hadn't heard of! My wishlist plant is currently Cebu Blue!
Your enthusiasm is so contagious!
Hey I’m also in the philly area! I haven’t had much luck with plants but decided to try again and found your channel. I got a cutting from one of my grandma’s jasmine plants- and I have some African violets coming next week. I... only know flowers.

The Pastazanum is my #1 wishlist. I will have one someday! Great wishlist. ✌❤😁
Just got my second small plant of rhipsalis paradoxa. Hoping to make a larger plant with these two small babies. Rhipsalis is so easy to grow and such an underrated plant group.
Hi, Nick
Can you talk about crotons? Pleaaaaaaase!!! There’s so little info about this plant. I have been struggling with one since 2015. That plant gets into my nerves. I don’t know what to do wit it😭
Yes would love this I have one as well
Ooooo, perfect start to my day. Nick's wishlist 🌹❤🌹
I have a Hoya caudata on the way from Etsy! Picked it up for around $50. I’m so excited! It looks like such a cute plant
One day I want to get a monilaria obconica, the succulent that looks like little bunnies!
An aunt has her Xanadu's growing on mossy rocks so they will not grow to full size. And I have that dischidia nummularia that you want! A friend gave it to me. We don't know much about plants and i thought it's some kind of peperomia. So now i know, thank you.
Pastazanum is my favorite. The leaves get stunning as the plant matures. I can't wait for mine to grow ❤️
I'm fairly new to your channel and I really like your videos! I was happy to learn that you're from Philadelphia, I'm actually not that far away. I live in Reading, Pennsylvania, anyway keep up the great work 🖤
It’s pronounced Billy - Et - Tea - Aye 🤗🙌🏽
If you're on the lookout for any rhipsalis varieties, I have a baccifera and once it's big enough I'd be happy to send you a cutting!
That monstera is goals
i loooove hoya's too, praying they give flowers, but love the hanging option a lot too
You always have interesting choices. Those ''lemon lime'' xanadus are common and cheap in Australia. Xanadus sold as large outdoor plants and quite common in gardens.

you can get a small version on plnts.com for a tenth of that - probably mostly relevant if you're in Western Europe

Imagine a big green bromeliad that’s actualy in the Commelinaceae and feels like a huge Rhoeo...with hanging clusters of glowingly blue fragrant flowers.

I saw someone pronounce billietiae as bill-ee-eh-tea-eye
I'm absolutely in love w gesneriads, thanks for showing us another lil one
I've started growing things on my balcony and have taken quite a liking to the hobby. I've been binging your videos, it's great seeing someone have so much love and excitement for their hobby. I noticed you have a cat and some plants that are pet safe and said to be not pet safe. How do you go about making a happy home for both so kitty is not munching the wrong plant? Your little baby looks just like my little baby.
I bought a regular green Xanadu a month or so ago. Love 💕 it.
autumn roberts me too😀
It seems like when the stimulus checks came in, prices of plants went sky high, and all plants in all online shops are out of stock.🧐😷😷😂🌿🍃❤️✌🏻
Is that why they are all out of stock? Driving me nuts
It seems to coincide . You just have to get lucky and hit a restock or be willing to pay too much.
Kaylee Ellen has most of your wishlist plants Nick !!
Love your wishlist. I tagged you in a post on Instagram with the proper pronunciation of P. billietiae from the botanist whom it’s named after. 💚
I have the pastazanum and I love it!! It’s beautiful!
YES I so want the Ripsalis Paradoxa. I have seen one really large one in a ladies home over in AU. It looks to be huge. I agree it looks like it just flows out of the pot . The shapes of the leaves? kind of twisty are amazing. I did see one go on bay awhile back, maybe a month or so. Do not even remember what it went for. I have also seen just cuttings for higher prices. I fear I do not have enough years left to see it grow to maturity. YES I am older then dirt. But I still love my plants. The Plants are Beauties.
My wish is a Wide or Round leaf Adansonii. I bought a young one but now it is here I am not sure it is really the wide leaf. But then it is a newly rooted cutting. Maybe they take time to mature.
There are shops in europe, here is one: www.kakteen-haage.de/Pflanzen/Blattkakteen/Rhipsalis/Rhipsalis-paradoxa.html
I'm a big lover of Philodendrons, and slow growing plants always have that kind of special something. You have to love them and care for them to get rewarded. So i thought i wanted a Philodendron Ring of Fire. Like you i'm not a huge fan of variegation, but when it's right it's right. I thought that would be a great center of the room, the guy dressed in all glitter so the rest can just relax. But then they came out with the Philodendron Caramel Marble. It's INSANE. It killed the market for the Ring of Fire. It's so beautiful. There's no way i would ever pay that much for a plant even if i had that much, but i really want it when i can have it. It's like something a kid will draw turned into an actual plant.
It's pronounced(i heard) BILL-LA-TIE..if that makes since. I have two. You would love this plant Nick. Awesome wishlist,
You look great in blue shirt!
I love your wish list plants. I have the Hoya Caudata and it’s beautiful. It was a cutting about 3 months ago and has already got 4 new tiny leaves 😊🌱💕
I have paid over $100 for 2 plants in my collection, the Pink Princess and Red Moon Philodendron. I save up for both and knew what I was getting into. I do have a Billietiae in my collection and I absolutely love it. The next plant on my wish list is a Philodendron Plowmanii. I am trying to get one for under $100 but I have not had much luck. I may have to have it imported as it is cheaper even with the extra charges.
also "sinningia bullata"= see-NEEN-gee-ah boo-LAH-tah.
6:45 Philodendron "Florida Beauty" is always variegated, "Florida" or "Florida Green" is the non-variegated version, "Florida Ghost" the one that comes in with white or brighter green leaves.
yeesss thank you! I was gonna write this haha
My Rhipsalis paradoxa was my very first "expensive plant" I added to my collection, it was $30 CAD 😅
Oh that Dischidia Nummalaris is very nice and I am now on the hunt for it since watching this video. I really like small leaves and danty plants.
I'm in Australia and that green and cottony plant is sold commonly with succulents. Maybe look at some succulent growers around you and you might be able to find it. If it is easier to ship plants out of Australia than it is to ship in you should check out Paradisia nursery, they sell all the hoyas and the odds and ends on your list.
Collector's Corner is one of my absolute favourite places to go to! Ever since I was a kid 😊
I just got my hands on a Rhipsalis paradoxa, but only the tiniest baby cuttings! I'm fine waiting, so NBD! I desperately want some symbiotic ant plants like a Dischidia major or Hydnophytum papuanum.
The leaves of Hoya Macrophylla look exactly like cinnamon tree. I enjoy your posts.
I'm currently obsessing over scindapsus Jade Satin. I guess the heart wants what the heart wants. And my green heart wants that plant! Everytime I see one for sale, it's sold before I can blink.
I came back to add my other plant: scindapsus treubii (either one)
Ugh, I used to live in Philly and now live in rural Wisconsin. I miss the flower show SO MUCH!
I just got a tiny philo billietiae! Super cute and I LOVE the orange petioles 🧡
I’m newer to plants. I really want a Hoya next! The leaves look so satisfying
I just got a lemon like philodendron and I’m in loveeee!
I totally get it, I way prefer the non-varigated, plain green peperomia obtusifolia
I just bought the sinningia bullata in the reduced shelves at Bunnings (Aust big box store). I hope it flowers! I’m scared now you told me it’s related to African violets, I’m a murderer of those!
Let me just warn you that it is incredibly difficult to keep pests off of a Xanadu! They always get bugs! I had a huge one that I unfortunately lost a couple years ago from mealy bugs.

Hoya Caudata is my #1 wishlist plant :) If you want to buy online, you could try Gardino Nursery, but you have to check their website for ghost restocks.
I am totally in with the plain green vibe
I mean some varigationsare a liitle cool (hoya kerrii verigata) but normally I'm more in for the green ones
Currently crushing on a Begonia Maculata 🥰
For the Sinningia, try your local Liberty Bell Gesneriad society. I would bet there are people growing it or could steer you in the right direction.
Some of the people who bid on plants are growers :)
You mentioned the Dischidia Numularia, I think it looks so cool! But there’s also the Dischidia Numularia Ideaminubu, and it’s like really curly and funky. It’s comparable to Hoya Hindu Rope. And it looks so cool!
I agree with your rhipsalis choice.. Can't get them in Canada
I noticed with the quarantine plant shops are struggling to keep stock in , people are buying plants online like crazy including me lol
I ordered a Gloriosum I’m nervous about because it’s outside the US but good reviews on customer service . I just didn’t want to pay over 100 here in the US
P billietiae, R decursiva, and A warocqueanum are at the top of my wishlist right now! After getting a gloriosum and a clarinervium and seeing them thrive, i'm ready to invite more rare aroids into my life
LICUALA GRANDIS ruffle fan palm! I love fan palms, all palms, I have a 6ft chinese fan palm I got for $20 at our nursery, can you believe it? I have a 7ft cat palm that is currently blooming. My point is, more people should try palms, they are not that difficult. Philodendron Plowmanii. Syngonium rayii. My burle marx philo is so beautiful I'm not sure I would want the more expensive long leaf varieties. I of course want the velvet leaf aroids but no way I'm spending that much on something that will be under $50 when the market is saturated within the next 2 years.
I'm with you on loving the plain green varieties of some plants. I keep looking for the Senecio macroglossus in green (I already have the variegated) but I cannot find it anywhere. And what I oftentimes see listed isn't Senecio macroglossus but Senecio mikaniodes/Delairea odorata (depending on the seller) and it's just not the same plant. Macroglossus has thin stems with succulent leaves while the mikaniodes/odorata has a thick stem and thin (and easily bruised) leaves. Hopefully one will show up some day.
I would LOVE to find a Epipremnum pinnatum Cebu blue, Philodendron hederaceum Micans (both very hard to find in Europe!!!), Philodendron mayoi, Hoya carnosa Mathilde, Hoya serpens, Hoya macrophylla (green and variegata), Sansevieria aubrytiana and Monstera pinnatipartita :D
If you go to an Orchid Expo you can find some of your wishlist plants for really good prices. I got a big philodendron pastazanum (with two leaves that are 9" across) for $40. Of course you have to wait for an Orchid Expo to happen near you and for quarantine to be over, haha. My wishlist plant is syngonium wendlandii and I can't find it anywhere!
SUSANNE HERE, i have one major one, on my wish list, i simply cannot find, and that is the Hoya Carnosa Chelsea, they simply dont exist at an affordbale price and they used to be very common, not any more, almost impossible to find, i have a house full of the thanksgiving cactus, and mini orchids, those are my favs, and snake plants, which om, i do not need mroe, but i always end up buying haha, love love the moonshine, anyhow i have one cutting of the chelsea that has been growing in water, it was a cutting off of a plant that was over 70 years old, and i have never found another, darn it, haha
Monstera Stadleyana Variegata is my number one at the moment, it just keeps slipping through my fingers! A few local plant hobbyists have sold cuttings and I am just always a minute too late to claiming it. It's one of those plants that since I have seen I can get it cheaper than online prices, I refuse to pay $100+ for it. You're right - it's about waiting for that moment when it falls into your lap.
I subscribe to the notion that it's okay to pronounce the dead language however makes sense to you, as long as you hit the syllables,
Hoya /may/ have "similar-looking foliage" as you generalized the consensus, but their flowers really distinguish each other! :O
My wishlist plant is a Harlequin Pothos! So rare, I can't find them anywhere :{
Is that a manjula? My son found 4 random hanging baskets at a Lowe’s in the middle of nowhere Ohio. Keep trying.
There's a nursery in Florida called Paradise Found Nursery who sells the dischidia nummilaria and rhipsalis paradoxa! It's of course out of stock on their online store but I think they have an email sign up and their prices aren't too bad. I think they may have the plain Hoya Macrophylla as well.
My wishlist is kinda basic but this is what I'd really like:
Staghorn Fern
String of Hearts/Ceropegia woodii (eventually but not in the room I have now)
Hoya Publicalyx
Pothos Cebu Blue
Calathea orbifolia
Calathea Dottie
Hoya carnosa Chelsea
Hoya obovata
Philodendron micans
I want the Xanadu so bad
I've recently become obsessed with caudex plants, I ordered a Phyllanthus Mirabilis from Thailand (that should arrive next month). 🥔🌱
I absolutely adore my P. billietae! So quirky! 💛
I'm just sitting around patiently awaiting an Urban Jungle restock - just moved and left many plants behind with friends so I'm in the market for even basic houseplants that just wouldn't travel well in my car across the country
Sinningia bullata comes up every so often (every 4-6 weeks?) on eBay - if you save your search you'll get emailed about it. I purchased mine from Kartuz Greenhouses last year but at the time they only had the one. It is a great plant, and if you're fast you can try to propagate it before it flowers as apparently post-flowering it's very hard if not impossible to propagate.
1. Amydrium medium green (Spiderman monstera is its common name but looks like monstera peru's older brother)
2. Philodendron lupinum (the mature form is soooo different from the juvenile form.)
3. Philodendron jose buono imbe (the verigation i think is stable. But rhe verigation is what i like.)
4. Philodendron majesty (sucker for black leaves.)
5. Monstera peru ( its my white whale. I've been waiting for one for over a year. Texture alone is a sight)
6. Philodendron squamiferum
( i like the idea of a fuzzy stem. Theres another one out there but i like the leaves on this one)
7. Philodendron brandtianum (i love the verigation to the point it looks fake)
8. Philodendron pedatum golden dragon (i love the venstarions of the leaves. The lobes are different)
9. Zz raven (sucker for black leaves yet again)
10. Calatha warscewiczii (i love the coloration. Its velevet i think or it looks velvet. )
I think black leaves are going to be the new desired soon.
I am a Hoya lover too! Most aren’t high maintenance which is nice.😀
Have seen a few of the small Sinnigia bullatas on Etsy for around $20.
its funny, i was looking to trade my caudata!
I have the green hoya macrophylla and I love it! It has amazing veining and is an extreme quick grower (gave me 6 huge leaves this year). I bought it for 7 dollars.
How do you say all the scientific names so fast without screwing it up? 😂 I'm in awe! I can't even say them slowly let alone as fast as you do.
LOL Another fenestration lover here. I had no idea the Xanady came in lime green. Ticks both my boxes for producing live green. The auction photo does show it being a very light green but upon arrival it is green. She sends lovely starter plants though bare root but really good sized plants for very reasonable prices. So exciting for me is the new to me Epipremnum Pinnatum I just bought maybe a month ago. Young vines from OLD stem mother plant are starting to put out fenestrated leaves. Just starting wee holes. I am over the top about this. The plants came from Hawaii and shipping was amazing. bought one and was so leased with it I bought a second. LOL Might combine them to grow up a really tall moss pole.
I am completely obsessed with anthurium at the moment. I don't know what happened there. I feel like this obsession came out of nowhere, yet here we are.
I'm On The Hunt For Hoyas!!! The Polyneura...The Hoya Australis Lisa AND The Hoya Callistophylla!!!
I found Sinningia bullata for the first time late 2019 at an arid & exotics nursery in Perth, Western Australia. It's the only place I've seen them but still I'm amazed we have it here in Perth, AKA: the city that misses out on all the cool plants because of strict quarantine rules. It's on my wishlist but a bit out of my price range. I'll wait until they become more common for the price to go down, I think!
Got one at Annandale nursery in Sydney about a year back. $29. Didn't know what it was. Just thought it looked cool.
