Hey Kaylee, I hope someone from your team reads this. The most wonderful thing about this video is that you're being honest about plants that could still potentially drop in your shop and this video is not from a business POV at all. Just good good GOOD love for plants. You also tackle the accusations made against you here, especially the one that you are actually making certain plants seem more pricey. I, on the other hand, think that you're fighting the good fight by calling a spade a spade, calling out what needs to be called out and carrying on with your own life, as a plant person and a businesswoman. More power to you!
I just bought a Domino last week. I was about to cry! I knew the one in her pic was a picasso tho. Which, WAS going to be my next sought after plant until I just watched this video. I dont want to waste my money. I already have an all green one and it is so healthy and full and lush. I love Peace Lillies.
Lol. I just bought the picasso kind. Might be doomed. But I did find it cheaper than a cut flowers so, not big risk. Here's to hoping she stays pretty for a while.
Love your channel! Plant scientist here. When discussing variegation reversion, I think it would be beneficial to touch on how light is integral to maintaining variegation and how that plays into this subject. 🙂 I think it’s so important and often overlooked.
I appreciate this comment. I’ve seen other TH-camrs state as fact that light has nothing to do with maintaining variegation. I’ve been dubious about that claim. But my experience is limited to my P. Brazil. When it was in low light, it put out nearly solid dark green leaves, some vines fully reverted. I moved it outside last summer where it got bright light with some direct sun, it started producing strong variegation. Some leaves were almost entirely chartreuse with partial dark green leaf borders Onlyplants recent video on the albo monstera is quite instructive on the topic
My Philo.Domesticum Variegated doesn’t care about the light I think😣 I placed it in front of my south window that got direct light, in the morning. Cut it back but only the 3 of its first leaves got variegation, the rest is just green. From what I see, if the new growth popping from the part that doesn't have the variegation lines(I don’t know what it calls😅) it will not have variegation. And so to the next leaves and it just lost🤦🏻♀️
@@plantsfrenzy I have not done my thorough research on this but gardens in my place usually suggest that once a plant sports a purely unvariegated leaf, you have it immediately cut it. It somehow "trains" the plant to not produce more of the same leaf. I've done this with my picasso alternately. Once a new leaf comes out, I cut the purely green ones.
This is only true for certain species and certain types of mutations However. Generally, light is a determining factor in the yield of variegation only about 10% of the time. Soil ph, growing conditions, light intensity, hours of sunlight, and soil nutrients play a much higher role
@@amiacumbee5123 I´ve seen very often in PPP that it grows not variegated leaves and then a variegated leaf shows up :) And I also observed in so many plants that when you buy one, first leaves after import may be smaller, less or not variegated (depends on the species you buy) or they have even weird shape of the leaf. I think it happens because of the stress during import. But when the plant acclimates to your conditions and you will have proper humidity in the room and enough indirect sunlight, the plant will thrive
My pink princess has great variegation! It’s a more dappled than half moon type. It responds really well to warmth and bright light and keeps putting out more and more beautiful leaves.🌿🍃🌱
I have a variegated Alocasia Zebrina that gives me one great white variegated leaf after another, also my variegated macrorrhiza seems to be stable I have it since 1,5 years now and all is fine.
I have an Alocasia Odora Variegata that I got a year and 1/2 ago. I got it as a small plant, and it is now huge, potted outside in Florida. The leaves are beautifully variegated and it has never produce an all white, nor an all green leaf. I have always been nuts for variegation, but, years ago, just starting out, I didn't know anything about it. I had an albo syngonium growing up my house, and every leaf was variegated. I moved and took a cutting with me, planting it under a huge tree, expecting a huge variegated plant that would climb my tree. The plant took off, but all the variegation disappeared. I had to go on a hunt, taking cuttings or digging up shoots, if I saw the slightest streak. I was able to get my variegated syngonium back, now having several beautiful plants. But, I am vigilant in removing non-variegated parts. My lesson is that it is better to have a nice pot of beautifully variegated syngonium, rather than to let it do its own thing, which will cause it to revert.
It does not go unnoticed that the Living Wall has gorgeous big green leaves, with almost no variegated ones! Love those big gorgeous veins that seem to glow! They never disappoint 💚
I have 7 pink princesses. Three of them are real burgundy pinks, they keep the burgundy/black leaf color with a bit of dark green. They produce pink maybe about 30 %. But I have one that is more marbled. It produces constant pink/green/white leaves . It is the most stable of them. I have done a bottom cut as well as a top and again the variegation is very consistent. Not ad much large splashes of pink but more marbled all over the leaf.
I’ve never really had a problem with lack of variegation in the Pink Princess I sell, I keep them under bright light, that is probably why some people are having problems being a lack of, I find that the variegation has been pretty stable and uniform with the occasional all pink leaf, I don’t cut them either.
I've had my Pink Princess for at least five years. I occasionally get an all pink leaf; so what! that does not make the plant any less beautiful. I am in the tropics, and my plants are on a verandah, with temps never below 75 degrees. Maybe that's my success. Plus I treat my plants like living things, and nature is not perfect. If the plant is all pink or all green, so be it. Only artificial plants stay perfect.
@@patriciabeharry7473 The issue if the plant goes all pink, it can't photosynthesise properly as it needs some green to for this to be effective. It will look pretty, but it won't last long so it's not sustainable for the plant to do this.
Yes, I realize this, I grow them for retail, what I’m saying is I’ve never had any go totally pink, occasionally they will put out 1 to 2 pink leaves but they grow out of it, The variegation on them is stable but it’s not predictable that’s what she should be saying.
honestly, i do not really care for varigated plants. i just like the plants. but i DO love just watching your talks, because you just seem like such a decent human being that i almost feel like i'm hanging out with you whenever i watch a video. it's been a tremendous comfort in this weird time of social distancing. (i will say that because of you i wanted, and found, a philodendron billiatiae at my local nursury and i happily bought it. now i can't get enough of how weird it really is. and i don't care that it isn't varigated). it's funny to me that you are really just an internet stranger to me, yet you are more real than many of the people i interact with around here in real life. thanks for all you do. i appreciate you Kaylee Ellen.
I had a reverted ppp with 6 nodes, chopped it up, and every node with the exception of one has produced variegation despite none of them having that variegation on the stem. Even got a half moon baby 🥺🙂
PPP - I have one that I bought about 2 years ago - it never had much variegation and I chopped it up in the end to sell and give away to people who wanted a PPP but couldn't afford to buy any,, while keeping the top cutting for myself. Well, I never got round to selling one of my cuttings - the leaf had a thin stripe of pink about 1cm long and about 1mm wide. I popped it in a prop box to forget about. The resulting new growth has ONLY pushed out leaves with exactly 1/4 of the leaf being pink. No more, no less. It's on leaf 4 now and the leaves are getting larger, and so is the chunk of pink on every new leaf as the proportion of pink still remains 25% of each leaf's size. It's stunning to look at and I have no bloody idea how or why it's doing it, but I now don't want to sell it despite knowing I could probably make a decent amount of money on it.... It's a beautiful, confusing mess of a success story and I love it. I'm considering naming it Margaret. The top cutting, however, hasn't pushed out pink in 2 leaves so I am considering chopping again this spring. I doubt any future cuttings will be as successful as Margaret but who knows.
Burle Marx Variegated can also revert quickly. I have cut off about ten plants worth of green growth. Since cutting off 90% of the roots and regrowing; so far so good. Great video as always💚💚❤️❤️💚💚
I’d really love to see a plant tour from your home! Even if there isn’t a lot at all because they’re all that the shop, I’d love to see what you’ve picked to keep at home and why!!
Yup. Thats how it is. Domino is like speckles and the variegation are stable af. Even in lower light, mine still keep its variegation but if you put it in brighter light(no direct sunlight tho), the variegation will come out with chunk of white or even halfmoon or full white leaf. Domino, I say this again, wont revert. Only the other one will revert. Trust me! I have both of em!
I've just deep dived into your plant index and I'm starting off my house plant collection. I believe I'm in love with you and your knowledge so many species 😍
I have a pink princess grown from tiniest baby seedling - the very first leaf it put out was a perfect tiny halfmoon. Despite that it never had a great variegation - sometimes it was " great" but did not catch all 3 layers of the leaf , so only on the reverse. I've had her for about 2.5 years and last summer gave a really nice variegated leaf and then another one almost all green. I had to cut and discard the cutting it but it is very slow to regrow.
First of all - you are GLOWING today and I am obsessed with this look. I'll go back to watching the video now but weird brain wouldn't let me continue without mentioning how absolutely lovely you are
Just wait till you find a random sport, so you don't have to pay a ton extra and it won't be tragic when/if they revert. I've found a few sport pollies, and just found a dragon scale with some pretty neon splashes. They may not last, but they're cute and fun to look for.
I love your videos so much! I’d never realized the half moon thing, definitely something to watch out for. As a note for the alocasia- I have a gageana aurea that I’ve had for YEARS, it’s given me tons of pups and if they start variegated they stay that way(: I’ve never had one revert on me, and the leaves on three of them are the size of dinner plates haha. It’s the only variegated alocasia that’s done well for me and it’s great! I don’t know if this is the place for it, but I’d be happy to try to give you one if you’d like 😊 never shipped a plant but figured I’d offer!
My variegated Alocasia Odora lost variegation almost immediately after like a month, but it recently returned out of no where 6 months later. It’s not like stunning variegation, but variegation none the less I guess lol
How funny. I was just going to say that my Alocasia Odora has never lost it’s variegation. It’s bulbs/pups it produces are hit or miss on variegation however. Interesting to know the mother plant can be unstable.
Thank You Soo Much Kaylee Ellen for your videos and your honesty about the variegation in the plants. I really appreciate you sharing this with us. You just saved me a bunch of 💰. Well, I will still end up spending the money on plants but I dont want to buy plants that will knowingly make me sad at the end of the day. Thank You!
Your makeup is ON POINT! You look fabulous! I feel like your confidence is rising, which I’m sure having your teeth getting “straightened” out is helping a lot! It’s crazy I feel like there are SO many that can go on this list. And it’s crazy how the “Half moons” go for SO much more money- even though they should be less wanted. Oh the monopoly the plant game has turned into the past 2 years. lol
I got a burgundy princess in May of last year. I cut it in the summer, hoping to bring back some variegation. The mother plant has recently put out a nearly half moon leaf and then two more speckled leaves. The propagation has not had any additional pink come in as of yet. I've been thinking of cuttings the leaves with pink and propagating again, but new leaves keep coming before the previous ones harden off so I don't want to cut it...
oh by the way ive been finding sellers from indo and thailand trying to sell pink congo again on etsy and ebay, I check the description and they say nothing about what it really is, and they are charging over a 100 too, a lot of people watching the listing like they don't know that its chemically induced..but I guess buyer beware?? :/
I have 2 PPPs and I recently bought a congo out of sheer curiosity. I know what I'm getting as far as the chemical treatment and high potential reverting etc. But I think it's still good looking despite. So I'm curious to see it in person.
The spathiphylum Domino is stable and has rough textured leaves, with the same variegation at the Thai Constellation. I think you may be thinking of the diamond variegated one or another with smooth,glossy leaves :) *EDIT : 2 mins later you corrected yourself. I have a Domino and would be happy to send you one or two of its offshoots! Based in UK so should be easy, just let me know if you’re interested and I’ll gladly gift it
I know a case, when philodendron started to become green, and been put on natural light ( was artificial before) new leaves become variegated again happily. Love you channel and your sense of humor 😘
Perfect video! Thanks again! *I had a variegated alocasia odora and it seemed to hold it's variegation. Ultimately got eaten to death by spider mites, but it never lost it's variegation. Maybe it's just more stable?
This is an excellent video. Something that I think would have been helpful would be to show the picture of the variegated leaves and then what the reversion looks like on the plant overall.
I experienced that, my neon photos push out a neon leaf with white variegation, some green leaf with neon's spot, a neon leaf with some green. It's a little bit crazy plant but i use to keep her in crazy condition( full sun/ blue grow light/ a pot with no drainage.) This plant have passed through all this condition and still alive, it's my own pet and i joke with her all time and i always was proud of her growth
My Florida ghost “mint” reverted which no surprise, Kaylee already did a video on that! 😛 my Variegated Burle Marx has also reverted, which really bums me out, I took a cutting of a solid variegated leaf for my friend, I hope it stays for her! And I killed my variegated alocasia so it didn’t even had a chance to revert 😂🤣😭
@@AuDHobby haha thats so cool! i wonder if the light green makes it different than yellow or white as it probably can offer a bit more to the plant than those types of variegation.
I have a Peace Lily Domino, and the variegation has been stable. I'm not sure how it would be in medium to low light tho, because mine is situated 8 to 10 feet away from a south-facing window.
I'm officially about to cry, i didn't know Florida Beauty variegation is unstable, I've recently bought 4 baby plants, any suggestion for the fertilizer and light in order to better keep the variegation?
Always love your videos💕 Love from Japan! OMG a Philo Spiritus Sancti was on auction and the final price was 1060,000 Yen (10123.94 $) People are crazy〜😱😱😱
Haha Peace Lily Domino hasn't been known to revert as far as my experience, luckily! Haven't got my hands on a Picasso but you're probably right! I don't seem to have a problem with reverting plants (lucky me, right), but the exact opposite! Too much variegation. My variegated adansonii just keeps pushing out ghost leaves, ugh! As pretty as they are I know they'll be brown and crispy in no time.
I'm my experience with some of these, I have had no issues with reversion. I keep mine of course in very very bright conditions. Sometimes I get a greener leaf but a more verigated leaf usually comes next. I have Florida beauty, aurea alocasia frydek, albo syngonium. I hope I'm just lucky.
Hi kaylee. I have a syngonium fantasy and its about 8 years old. I did cut it up 2 years ago and my problem they have all thrown pure off white leaves. They go brown and die. How do I get it to go green? It was in a shade house. Ive repoted them and put them in more warmth and light. Is it a matter of patience or any other thoughts?
No its not. It reverts all the time. Most albos do. When talking about unstable variegation I’m not talking about the pink Congo where the white just turns green, I’m talking about new leads shooting out all green leaves and then getting lucky many leaves later with some white on it. Most all albos are not stable
Because of u im obsesse with rare plant is a awsome way to cope with my depresion since my baby was born sleeping is my new hobby thank you im Obsesse watching you im trying to get cut up with your videos aince the biginning lol
I was wondering if we could get an update on your monstera deliciosa liebm aurea that u split into cuttings sometime ago. Such a fan of this plant the first and last time I saw it was on your channel!
I have a love hate with my ppp! I got it with only one almost fully pink leaf and was unsure about cutting it . I didn’t cut it , I placed it under my sunblaster grow lights and now each leaf is throwing out more variegation but it is also very sporadic. Some flecks and spots of pink and the newest leaf had a big section variegated on the back and it was almost enough to go fully through the layers and show in the front. I’m anxiously waiting to see what the next one will do!
She has a nursery environment in her shop. Concrete floors, auto watering and only keeps plants long enough to sell. But she's mentioned how long her days are. Crazy hard work
As always, thank you for all you do in preparing for your videos! 🥰 Could you please touch on the philodendron Strawberry Shake in an upcoming video? Those are my newest loves and I've been hearing nothing but conflicting information on them. Thanks so much! 🤗💝
my domino peace lily is definitely one that produces more variegation with light. ive been blessed with several halfmoon leaves after setting it in the kitchen window :0
It's super easy to get the variegation on a Peace Lilly back you just have to cut ALL the old-growth off and snip the roots . it will grow back perfectly.
I have Domino Peace Lily, it is beautiful and easy, the variegation is so nice, and easy. I have not seen the Picasso anywhere near me, without a huge price tag.
Me (an invisalign wearer for +1 year) over here wondering how you can pronounce your "S" so easily after just a few weeks! You're rocking this invisalign! Took me ages to not talk with a lisp
hi, I write from Italy and I don't understand English very well. a question, how can the variegation of the syngonium variegato be maintained? thank you
Darn, I just got a syngonium albo, lol. Mine does have a good amount of marbling rather than sectoral. My new leaf has less variegation than the one before it…but the other leaves seem to trade back and forth. I guess after I get my first full green leaf I’ll cut it back to before that one?
I've seen it with succulents. There's nothing wrong with wanting a certain look for a party/wedding/whatever, but I wish sellers were more honest so buyers would know what they're really getting.
I have a variagated alocasia odora pup, and the third leaf came in complely green. I don't see any white on the stem of the green leaf so I feel doubtful that the next leaf will have any variagation either. Should I cut back the green leaf? I'm not sure if I should as it is so young and only has 3 leaves
i once decided to use a 'slow release' fertiizer that reverted the variegation on all my plants, including aroids (including p. florida beauty) and coleuses...(no, not a lighting issue) .. once i moved the plants to new soil with better fert, all issues went away and a lot of the variegations came back.. some i had to start over. it's been two years and all variegations have held since (including p. florida beauty)... you might wanna look at that if your plants already have adequate light - god knows what they put in that stuff

“Not domino, I mean the other one!”
“Thank gawd”

Agreed! She looks lovely with the winged eyeliner! ☺️
I think its that there is very little liner on the bottom lid. Its fresh looking.
Was going to say the exact same thing!!!! Also love the way she did her lips 😍

Domino Peace Lily => Monstera Thai Constellation

Yup. Thats how it is. Domino is like speckles and the variegation are stable af.

I have 3 pink Princess one reverted to mostly green the other to mainly pink. but the last one seems to be a lot more stable at least atm

Taking a variegated alocasia off my wishlist. Thank you for saving me 😩🙏
I killed mine it didn’t even have a chance to revert 😂😭
Just wait till you find a random sport, so you don't have to pay a ton extra and it won't be tragic when/if they revert. I've found a few sport pollies, and just found a dragon scale with some pretty neon splashes. They may not last, but they're cute and fun to look for.
Great video thanks for all the great info
I love your videos so much! I’d never realized the half moon thing, definitely something to watch out for. As a note for the alocasia- I have a gageana aurea that I’ve had for YEARS, it’s given me tons of pups and if they start variegated they stay that way(: I’ve never had one revert on me, and the leaves on three of them are the size of dinner plates haha. It’s the only variegated alocasia that’s done well for me and it’s great! I don’t know if this is the place for it, but I’d be happy to try to give you one if you’d like 😊 never shipped a plant but figured I’d offer!
My variegated Alocasia Odora lost variegation almost immediately after like a month, but it recently returned out of no where 6 months later. It’s not like stunning variegation, but variegation none the less I guess lol
How funny. I was just going to say that my Alocasia Odora has never lost it’s variegation. It’s bulbs/pups it produces are hit or miss on variegation however. Interesting to know the mother plant can be unstable.
Hi! Kaylee Ellen, I love your channel, coz’ I’m a plant lover, I love all your plant. And I love how you Talk too!
Thank you for talking about what to look for when buying a monstera albo. I’d love to know what to look for for all plant types
Thank You Soo Much Kaylee Ellen for your videos and your honesty about the variegation in the plants. I really appreciate you sharing this with us. You just saved me a bunch of 💰. Well, I will still end up spending the money on plants but I dont want to buy plants that will knowingly make me sad at the end of the day. Thank You!
Interesting thanks for the heads up on these
Your makeup is ON POINT! You look fabulous! I feel like your confidence is rising, which I’m sure having your teeth getting “straightened” out is helping a lot!
It’s crazy I feel like there are SO many that can go on this list. And it’s crazy how the “Half moons” go for SO much more money- even though they should be less wanted. Oh the monopoly the plant game has turned into the past 2 years. lol
I got a burgundy princess in May of last year. I cut it in the summer, hoping to bring back some variegation. The mother plant has recently put out a nearly half moon leaf and then two more speckled leaves. The propagation has not had any additional pink come in as of yet.
I've been thinking of cuttings the leaves with pink and propagating again, but new leaves keep coming before the previous ones harden off so I don't want to cut it...
oh by the way ive been finding sellers from indo and thailand trying to sell pink congo again on etsy and ebay, I check the description and they say nothing about what it really is, and they are charging over a 100 too, a lot of people watching the listing like they don't know that its chemically induced..but I guess buyer beware?? :/
I have 2 PPPs and I recently bought a congo out of sheer curiosity. I know what I'm getting as far as the chemical treatment and high potential reverting etc. But I think it's still good looking despite. So I'm curious to see it in person.
👁️ needed that heads up on the Billietiae. 🙏🌱💚
What is the way to bring variegation back to v. alocasia? Or likely to bring it back?
The spathiphylum Domino is stable and has rough textured leaves, with the same variegation at the Thai Constellation. I think you may be thinking of the diamond variegated one or another with smooth,glossy leaves :) *EDIT : 2 mins later you corrected yourself. I have a Domino and would be happy to send you one or two of its offshoots! Based in UK so should be easy, just let me know if you’re interested and I’ll gladly gift it
I bought a PPP that was almost fully reverted for cheep and it’s been slowly increasing in variegation in the newest leafs
I know a case, when philodendron started to become green, and been put on natural light ( was artificial before) new leaves become variegated again happily. Love you channel and your sense of humor 😘
O yeah another new learning, thank you ❤❤❤❤❤
Great video as always 😊 I would like to know more about other plants that can be chemically induced.
Same here! It would be so helpful to know what to be wary of
Perfect video! Thanks again!
*I had a variegated alocasia odora and it seemed to hold it's variegation. Ultimately got eaten to death by spider mites, but it never lost it's variegation. Maybe it's just more stable?
This is an excellent video. Something that I think would have been helpful would be to show the picture of the variegated leaves and then what the reversion looks like on the plant overall.
Welp I am wanting the syngonium albo but it's good to know that it can be saved if it starts to turn
I experienced that, my neon photos push out a neon leaf with white variegation, some green leaf with neon's spot, a neon leaf with some green. It's a little bit crazy plant but i use to keep her in crazy condition( full sun/ blue grow light/ a pot with no drainage.) This plant have passed through all this condition and still alive, it's my own pet and i joke with her all time and i always was proud of her growth
My Florida ghost “mint” reverted which no surprise, Kaylee already did a video on that! 😛 my Variegated Burle Marx has also reverted, which really bums me out, I took a cutting of a solid variegated leaf for my friend, I hope it stays for her! And I killed my variegated alocasia so it didn’t even had a chance to revert 😂🤣😭
Thanks for all the information, Plant-goddess...
Luv ur content! Would love to see another series from you !!!👏🏽🎉💐💚
Thanks Kaylee 🙏 I was looking for a variegated zebrina but knowing now they have a tendency to be unstable I rather not get one now
My variegated zebrina is continuing steadily but it's only light green variegation, not yellow or white.
I immediately thought of yours when she mentioned Alocasia!
@@AuDHobby haha thats so cool! i wonder if the light green makes it different than yellow or white as it probably can offer a bit more to the plant than those types of variegation.
I have a Peace Lily Domino, and the variegation has been stable. I'm not sure how it would be in medium to low light tho, because mine is situated 8 to 10 feet away from a south-facing window.
I'm officially about to cry, i didn't know Florida Beauty variegation is unstable, I've recently bought 4 baby plants, any suggestion for the fertilizer and light in order to better keep the variegation?
Honestly
If they are variegated ones till u chop them they are safe
It’s from mu experience
Great vid once again - any updates on your efforts with tissue culture or did I miss that video?
Always love your videos💕 Love from Japan!
OMG a Philo Spiritus Sancti was on auction and the final price was 1060,000 Yen (10123.94 $)
People are crazy〜😱😱😱
So many questions. But how can you get the variegation to return in alocasia, Monstera and P.P.P.???
This! I need answers.
Hey Kaylee, amazing as always. Is this still your experience with these?
Please make a video on your tissue culture experiments and how they went!
Haha Peace Lily Domino hasn't been known to revert as far as my experience, luckily! Haven't got my hands on a Picasso but you're probably right!
I don't seem to have a problem with reverting plants (lucky me, right), but the exact opposite! Too much variegation. My variegated adansonii just keeps pushing out ghost leaves, ugh! As pretty as they are I know they'll be brown and crispy in no time.
same problem with my adansonii- did you find a way to induce some green?
Wait... I was skimming the video, the videos photo shows a var burle marx, is it discusses?
It wasn't. I have a hard time with that plant. I find its variegation completely unpredictable.
It wasn't. I was waiting for that too. 😩
Ah okay, I was hoping for maybe some tips. It seems like it’s like a PPP where you should chop it up a lot
I'm my experience with some of these, I have had no issues with reversion. I keep mine of course in very very bright conditions. Sometimes I get a greener leaf but a more verigated leaf usually comes next. I have Florida beauty, aurea alocasia frydek, albo syngonium. I hope I'm just lucky.
How long have you had the alocasia frydek? I just got mine and am so worried it will revert.
Hi kaylee. I have a syngonium fantasy and its about 8 years old. I did cut it up 2 years ago and my problem they have all thrown pure off white leaves. They go brown and die. How do I get it to go green? It was in a shade house. Ive repoted them and put them in more warmth and light. Is it a matter of patience or any other thoughts?
How about white princess? Is the variegation stable?
No its not. It reverts all the time. Most albos do. When talking about unstable variegation I’m not talking about the pink Congo where the white just turns green, I’m talking about new leads shooting out all green leaves and then getting lucky many leaves later with some white on it. Most all albos are not stable
Because of u im obsesse with rare plant is a awsome way to cope with my depresion since my baby was born sleeping is my new hobby thank you im Obsesse watching you im trying to get cut up with your videos aince the biginning lol
Glad to know i have at least one of these lol (variegated peace lilly) It has been so good to me so far, mostly variegated than green.
I was wondering if we could get an update on your monstera deliciosa liebm aurea that u split into cuttings sometime ago. Such a fan of this plant the first and last time I saw it was on your channel!
im getting the domino peace lily so💕💕
I have a love hate with my ppp! I got it with only one almost fully pink leaf and was unsure about cutting it . I didn’t cut it , I placed it under my sunblaster grow lights and now each leaf is throwing out more variegation but it is also very sporadic. Some flecks and spots of pink and the newest leaf had a big section variegated on the back and it was almost enough to go fully through the layers and show in the front. I’m anxiously waiting to see what the next one will do!
I'm so glad there's a video on my birthday 🥰😌😅
Happy birthday 🎁🎉🎉
Thx you 🥰
I will say I have had to cut my Albo syngonium few times because it would start to revert and I was successful it preventing reversion.
How do you cut it if I may ask? Mine just pushed out two green leaves
Awesome frankness 👍 👌
How do you water and keep up with so many plants 😅 I sometimes feel like I struggle with the hundred or so I have 😬
I would be really interested in a video about that!🥰 Like „How I care for 4500 plants“😅
She has a nursery environment in her shop. Concrete floors, auto watering and only keeps plants long enough to sell. But she's mentioned how long her days are. Crazy hard work
@@krystaleverett5197 keeping them only long enough to sell really isn't the case...if you were to see whats in there....
My strawberry shake can go STRAIGHT TO HELL. Reverted. 🤣
You teach me so much! I love you girl!💚💚💚
As always, thank you for all you do in preparing for your videos! 🥰 Could you please touch on the philodendron Strawberry Shake in an upcoming video? Those are my newest loves and I've been hearing nothing but conflicting information on them. Thanks so much! 🤗💝
I am now experimenting on my Pink Princess to see if I can stimulate the variegation with different amount of lights
Ty for the tps.. I still dream of syng albo verigata!!$
my domino peace lily is definitely one that produces more variegation with light. ive been blessed with several halfmoon leaves after setting it in the kitchen window :0
It's super easy to get the variegation on a Peace Lilly back you just have to cut ALL the old-growth off and snip the roots . it will grow back perfectly.
You can use notching to encourage more pink/green :)
What is notching? I’d love to know more!
Just thinking about buying a Florida beauty cutting... thank you for saving me 400 Lolol
I have Domino Peace Lily, it is beautiful and easy, the variegation is so nice, and easy. I have not seen the Picasso anywhere near me, without a huge price tag.
Hi! I would like to ask if the reverted (green leaf) cutting of Florida beauty will produce variegation? Or will it be producing green leaf?
Yeap
I have been having definitely that issue since I have propagated my beauty
It’s really happening
Me (an invisalign wearer for +1 year) over here wondering how you can pronounce your "S" so easily after just a few weeks! You're rocking this invisalign! Took me ages to not talk with a lisp
hi, I write from Italy and I don't understand English very well. a question, how can the variegation of the syngonium variegato be maintained? thank you
When plants started to grow with no variegation, chop it off, the base plant would give variegation leafs again, easy
Darn, I just got a syngonium albo, lol. Mine does have a good amount of marbling rather than sectoral. My new leaf has less variegation than the one before it…but the other leaves seem to trade back and forth. I guess after I get my first full green leaf I’ll cut it back to before that one?
Well now I want to know what other plants have been chemical induced 🤭🤭🤭🤭
Kaylee has done it once again great video😄
Currently I'm curious about the alocasia cuprea "red secret" but that might just be me 👀
I've seen it with succulents. There's nothing wrong with wanting a certain look for a party/wedding/whatever, but I wish sellers were more honest so buyers would know what they're really getting.
is the sansevieria "star canary" fake like the pink congo?
Nope
@@amandaannamalid7065 oh nice!
What about caramel marble is it stable any thoughts and experience keeping these!? Thanks you for the vid 😀
I have a variagated alocasia odora pup, and the third leaf came in complely green. I don't see any white on the stem of the green leaf so I feel doubtful that the next leaf will have any variagation either. Should I cut back the green leaf? I'm not sure if I should as it is so young and only has 3 leaves
For the alocasias do u think maybe it could be bc it has moved locations ? Ik they can be a lil finicky especially when shipped
Hi 👋🏼 what causes a normal plant go variegated in the first place?
Yayyy excited best of my Fridays
i once decided to use a 'slow release' fertiizer that reverted the variegation on all my plants, including aroids (including p. florida beauty) and coleuses...(no, not a lighting issue) .. once i moved the plants to new soil with better fert, all issues went away and a lot of the variegations came back.. some i had to start over. it's been two years and all variegations have held since (including p. florida beauty)... you might wanna look at that if your plants already have adequate light - god knows what they put in that stuff
I'm having the opposite effect on mine with osmocote slow release alot of my Florida beauty leaves a re coming out highly variegated,hmm weird
Also the variegated jasmine spathiphylum (peace Lily) is very stable and another variety
Hi Kaylee!
