Mystery Rescue Plant Unboxing - Super Savings! (11 Plants)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ส.ค. 2024
- So my plant ban didn't last very long BUT for good reason. I came across some rare plant rescue boxes. For context, these usually sell out in minutes, so when I found them while browsing, I had to snap some up - and they didn't disappoint!
I've unboxed these rescue plant boxes in previous videos and they are a great way to get rare plants and new varieties into the collection for a lot less.
This time, there were rare plant boxes and standard houseplant boxes, so I got a standard houseplant box to for comparison, to see what types of plant varieties were received for each box type.
The plants in the boxes are always a mystery and as it is a rescue plant box, it means the plants require some extra TLC to bring them back to full health. They might have some imperfections, damage or just not growing as they should but all of the plants should be salvagable.
There were 11 plants in total, some new varieties (and completely new to me!), so please share your care tips in the comments below too.
I also worked out the value of the plants vs the cost of the boxes and they were definitely bargain plants. Now I just to give them the support they need to bring them back to full health.

As a serial plant rescuer (I know I said no more plants, but look how sad this poor little dying thing is!) I love this!
Thank you! And yes, as much as you say 'that's the last plant'... it doesn't take a lot of convincing to get another - afterall, you're saving it (and saving money too)! 💚
What exciting plants! Yay. It is fun to rehab plants too (at least I think so). I hope you have so much fun with them. I am always a bit proponent of chopping off unneeded length and keeping the smaller plant happy. Looks like you could start (or fill) a prop box too. Looking forward to your update. I think you said you have another box coming too. So much fun. 😊
Thank you! That is a good point, sometimes plants actually do well with a prune and can grow stronger as a result - plus you have the bonus of being able to propagate the cut pieces! I think one of my upcoming videos will be a propagation video - take a few things from the collection 💚
I had no clue you could shop for rescue plants online! That's awesome! Great job on the video, I'm a first time watcher and already hooked.
Hi, thanks for watching, glad you liked the video 😊To my knowledge, they are relatively new (last year or so...). I get mine from a company called Grow Tropicals in the UK but I have seen other retailers do them. Some are official 'Plant Rescuer' boxes, whereas some retailers will do their own versions. It depends where you're from? I found this for the official Plant Rescuer boxes, scroll down for the retailers they use (UK and international) - www.theplantrescuer.com/ Or try Googling rescue plant boxes and see what comes up (and try some out!). 🌱🌱
‘Philodendron’ tripping off your tongue with consummate ease! Well done, God bless you 🙏✝️. ✌️🇷🇺☮️🇺🇦✌️. 🙋♀️🤍🇮🇱✌️
Haha thank you. It's taken a few attempts to get used to! 💚🌱😊
I’ve never seen that monstera before 👀 this video made me add it too my list! I can’t have a full size monsters in my tiny apartment
Haha a good find for both of us. It was new to me too. Hopefully you can find one, it's definitely a lot smaller than the Deliciosa and even the Adansonii 🌱
Philodendrons do not seem to regrow their leaves, so I would chop and propagate. The damaged foliaged will always be damaged.
Also, welcome back! Any updates on your light experiment? We didnt get any hints in the last two videos.
Thank you for the tip, I will try that, just been keeping it hydrated for the last few weeks. I might do a separate video on rescuing plants as some of my others need attention! 🙈 And yes, I need to do a grow light update. I had to restart it shortly after (which I'll explain in an update!). The guidance on the bulb distance wasn't the best but hopefully sorted now 🌱
@@growyourwellbeing A discussion about what houseplants can regrow foloage and why they do that could be interesting.
I thought I had replied to this but I can't see it. Yes - you're right! I have alluded to this in a previous video but I will pick it up in a future video. It might be quite generalised though as it may depend on different plant growth habits, but I'll look into it and work it into a video 🤗
Where can i purchase these rescue boxes? Any link please
Hi! Thanks for watching. Different retailers do them, some are official 'Plant Rescuer' boxes, others will be their own versions. I get mine from a company called Grow Tropicals in the UK. I found this, which lists other retailers (UK and international) that do the official boxes - www.theplantrescuer.com/ However, Google 'rescue plant boxes' and see what comes up for you! Give some a try 💚😊
That first plant of the second box could be a Joepii or a 69686(?) I pronounce it “you-p-eye” or “yo-p-eye” but I’m not certain lol you pronounce the Micans differently too, i pronounce it “my-cans” not “mee-cans” interesting
I’d chop and prop that verricosum myself
What a steal!! Well done!
Could well be pronounced with y sound but I can definitely state that Latin names ending ‘ii’ are pronounced ‘ ee,eye’ 💯✌️
Thank you! I thought that might be the case with the 'ii'. I've just bought a couple of books on botanical and latin names so hopefully they'll help as I go through them🤓
Thank you, it is interesting how we say things in different ways, the joys of language! I mentioned Pachira in my most recent video and came across a page that said it was 'pack-eye-rah' (I've always said 'pah-cheer-ah'). Good shout on the other Philodendron 🤗, I'll check that out as I've seen something similarly named with the retailer I got the rescue plants from. Chop and prop seems to be the consensus for the Verricosum, so I'll be covering that in another video I think. 💚
Yes the books definitely will help. Retailers haven’t much of a clue! The hard C, CH etc depend upon whether the word is Latin or Greek, so your need to research that first. A lovely book which is helpful is ‘Who does your garden grow’ , I dunno if it’s still in print though, but it’s fascinating to learn about plant hunters who collected the plants, Forsythia after William(I think) Forsyth hence not pronounced the American way!! Also English vicars who discovered variants n developed them. I was blessed to go to Horticultural college, so privileged to insider info!! ✌️
That's really good to know, thank you for sharing 😊I will Google the book and see if it is available anywhere. You're right about retailers. I find dedicated plant shops are OK with guidance, some online can be a bit generic or 'quick' to list, and not provide much info. If buying from a garden centre, they sometimes know about the garden plants (depending on who you ask!) but houseplants seem to be an add on to benefit from their growing interest. But I enjoy researching them and finding out more and share what I can. Very lucky to get your insider knowledge - I'll be considering the RHS (I think RHS) courses soon 🤓
