Wow! Syngonium Panda Galaxy is simply a sensation! Thanks for introducing me to this gorgeous plant! FYI, My Monstera Albo I bought from you finally put out a shoot. It is about five inches long and I cannot wait for it to grow into a fully mature leaf. 🙂 Love your videos. I always learn so much. Thank you.
Yes the Syngonium Panda is awesome!!! That makes me so happy about your Albo you got from us! Nice work!! The first leaf will be a little one, but each additional one will get larger 😄 Thank you for watching the videos and supporting a small business!! We appreciate it
Man, you're 100% spot on with the Billitiaes being insanely expensive. It's even worse in Australia where I've seen plant stumps + 1 tiny leaf going for 7k... Thanks for the shout out too :D
I’ve heard Australia plant prices are out of control!! I just can’t with the 5k+ plants. It’s still just a plant!! 😅
wait is that for variegated? cos Bunnings have them for $10 dollaroos
@@prettyingreen Nah the price of plants in 2023 is on par with USA or at times cheaper... we just do't have many variety in the early days but TC has finally reached market value...
Yeah, America just has a way, way larger market for exotic plants so more businesses are willing to take risks sourcing and propagating them. Here in Australia it’s mostly in the hands of hobbyists with backyard greenhouses who can’t scale production, so prices remain high for a loooong time.
I am trying to start up a Nepenthes collection down here in Melbourne and some of the prices are pretty insane when you compare them to the US, but I haven’t seen one over $500AUD yet😆
Lol painted lady and strawberry shake getting it on
😆
Great Content as ALWAYS
Thanks Ramsey!

Most of the plants I have and I sell those on almost this price and other sellers do in this price.
Lol, to plant prices in different locations. I absolutely love the $3 Canadian ($2.25 US) philodendron mamei I bought locally outside of Vancouver, BC. It is happily growing out of my aquarium in water. However, I never would have experimented with a $40 plus plant as a fish filter.
Looking forward to buying other expensive plants for loose change in the future.
Absolutely! There’s some great deal coming out because of Tissue Culture! Should be great few months to buy 😄
I do think the variegated adansonii are pretty pricey however if you have the chance to get a small cutting with a root system I feel they grow crazy fast. When I bought it all the leaves had pretty much half moon variegation and a few leaves started to brown when I put it in high humidity as well, but once I took it out it was perfectly happy under a grow light in my living room humidity which is about 45-55% no browning at all.
You’re completely correct! They do grow super fast and are really pretty, you just have to keep that humidity down. I think I’m just bias towards them, but maybe I’ll get another one 🤣
@@prettyingreen I totally get it, when a plant just decides to brown and it feels like a personal attack 😅
@@brittanydespi hahahah it totally does!!
some of those US prices are really high! phil white knight I bought that in europe for like 5-10 euro
They are crazy!! 5-10 is a great price for a white knight!!
So 9 months later, and spiritus sancti has crashed in price but is still so overrated.
I think syngonium is going to make a comeback. I have a big mojito, and even just green it would be beautiful. I have my eye on the strawberry ice and frosted heart/ice frost (chiapanese). I want em.
I almost feel like aglaonema is going to come back. There are some really pretty green/ silver/ white varieties.
Anthurium needs to sit down. I love em but prices are out of control.
What started the anthurium craze? That's a good video! (If there is an answer).
Aglaonemas are so underrated, I never see anyone post them but they're incredibly beautiful and easy to care for. One of my favorites for sure.
@@tortyreus2384 they are my most difficult plants! But anything that I get from a big box store tends to be my fussiest plant.
@@plantypittsburgh really? Interesting! Mine do so well, they can be dry for days with zero issues and Ive got 3 different ones now. Odd. But I agree, big box stores and even some nurseries just produce and sell shit plants meant to die, this is a business after-all. Let me share an experience with 2 Alocasia Zebrins Tigrinas I bought. They both came in absolutely terrible substrate that allowed way too little airflow (pure coco coir), it was so hydrophobic not even a day of bottom watering fixed it, and terribly rootbound. I have no idea how the nursery even watered it, or how it grew at all, but it did. Both plants had 2 stems per pot, and they all quickly started drooping and dropping leaves. So I tried to repot it in a good aroid substrate, but it was terribly difficult to remove the shitty coco, resulting inna decent amount of ripped roots and of course, resulting in shock. Both plants rotted at the roots as a result and died. It really pisses me off sometimes how you are just screwed from the start with a plant. Ive had this issue with several other Alocasias too (root plugs especially are a nightmare bc of how sensitive the species is) and others that came in actual good soil thrive and do great. Anyway, that's my rant lol, long story short: some plants are doomed to die due to the practises of nurseries.
@@tortyreus2384 That is exactly what happened with one of my aglaonema. It didn't have a cultivar id, and I can't find one that exactly matches. I had 2 plants one is going to make it after the roots on both rotted away entirely. I have a aglaonema bamboo that is growing new roots in water as well.
What's strange is that they should be able to take the transplant shock. They have huge, noodle roots like anthurium. 🤷♀️
Thai constilation beautiful!. Would be wonderful to have one! For man to claim or take credit for something nature or God created, is a shame. So much information on your videos it is awesome. Thank you ❤
I think the adonsonii mint (and most mint) is bla the variegation just looks like a nutrient deficiency to me
Hmmm that’s fair!
I didn't know about the Philo Quad color looks cool, but I do disagree with the philo Florida Beauty i bought a cutting for 50 bucks with a growth point and its already pushing a var leaf. Think var and leaf is really nice!
Hmmm interesting! Yeah I hope the beauty stays heavily variegated for you-I’ve found it’s generally unstable to cut and prop and continue variegation
Philodendron scottmorianum and Jose Buono and bernardopazii are very underrated.
I love the Buono! Gotta check out the other 2!! Thanks for the rec
hmm, I just bought a 2" white knight for $70. Do you have the same thoughts on the white wizard as far as unstable variegation?
I think that’s about right. White Wizard is the one of the trifecta I actually haven’t grown, but I assume it will act similar to white knight. It is possible that the variegation comes and goes. Happens with Pink Princess and White Princess too. Quite fickle variegation
I have to disagree on the Philodendron Spiritus Sancti, it is a lot less expensive than you suggested (even at the time of making this video), I got mine in spring of 2022 for roughly $450 after conversion, yes it was too expensive for a TC plant but it is now growing >1 foot leaves that have the classic Spiritus Sancti lobes which I love so much. I've owned more than 25 different philodendrons and place this one above all else not only for its beauty but also for its ease of care. The leaf shape is really up there with the joepii and longilobatum ''Lelano Miyano'' in my opinion but the glaucous colour of the Spiritus takes it a step ahead.
I'll also disagree about the variegated billietiae, I understand that this was one very expensive plant at the time of making this video (and I'm with you on this, I wouldn't be willing to pay more than a few thousands for a single plant, especially since I've never sold a single cutting from my collection) but it has since dropped in price considerably and, although I'm not a variegation fiend, this one caught my eye because it's striking and its leaves can get quite large as well. It is currently selling for around 400-500USD in my area but I recently spotted a cutting for 180USD which I might decide to grab later this week if it's still available...
philo Billy is like AU$10 now
Do the Monstera Deliciosa Albos drop seeds?
Yes they do fruit and flower, and finally seed! But the seeds typically do not carry the variegation
Quad color looks like philo orange marmalade
True!
i see some plants i want to buy now!
Come through! 😆
I just bought a billietiae for 6.40 at a local place.
75 is WAYYY too much.
I got mine in the US for 35. It has some really big leaves so for the size it's a great price. I can't imagine paying more for that. I see it all the time for 15-40 depending on size. :/
What crazy is that you can find a spiritus-sancti for $100.
True!
local place sells batik, and they have it over 80 bucks lmfao.
got mine for 5 bucks lol.
Yup that’s pretty much batik price now!
❤

What is your stores name?
Pretty in Green Plants: prettyingreen.com
regular billie>var billie
my billie was 7.99 locally
The regular Billie are so damn cool for the price
@@prettyingreen totally! Im not a variagation nut though. I find huge beauty in the natural colors. like going from a Billie to an atapab. that red backing *muah* chefs kiss. variagation is cool, but. meh
@@prettyingreen I'm one of those guys that think things look sick. there's a few I'd love. I love the var monstera and such. some of the pink var stuff I enjoy a lot. but. I'm not paying thousands. I'll pay for truly rare plants, but. don't like hype hitting my pocket.
Sorry ;-) But what does 'TC' mean? Thanks
Sorry about that! TC is Tissue Culture :)
@ aussie english : a living specimen of originally roman invaded soil here :-)
👍
@ aussie english : there are two of the same letter at the end of for example adansonii, the romans did not see or pronounce that as two different letters, because they aren´t and latin is complicated but not with the letters and pronounciation but with flection and conjugation! in short: you are wrong (excuse my english, it´s worse than my latin:-)
👍
Not a painted lady but a philodendron quad color... engggg wrong. That's a marmalade. Funny how you make up names 😂
That’s from Ken’s Philodendron, and was named that when we bought it 👍
