Rare Plant Imports 🪴🤩 Aroid Market Haul
Vložit

- Aroid Market have very kindly sent me 9 amazing uncommon plants all the way from Indonesia to unbox for all of you! There are some pretty phenomenal plants in here and some I don't really understand. To be honest, I'm not very deterred by the about of yellow leaves at the beginning because had I received the plants without those leaves I'd be super duper happy. It's just part of the importing process. You're not going to get perfect plants 100% of the time, but I'd certainly import from Aroid Market again. Import at your own risk!

That's hoya dischidia major, the one you were confused about lol but sadly I think it's dead cause the healthy one is in green color not brown like that :( I'm from Indonesia by the way, always excited to see some imported plants from my country. Sorry for the damaged or dead plants, hope the other ones survive under your care! ♥️
Yeah see that's what I was thinking too because all the pictures I could find on google or IG were nice and lush and green. But on the aroid market website, their picture was yellow, like the one I have... Anyways, live goes on and I hope I can keep the others happy :) thanks for the confirmation! It really helps!
@@GoodGrowing glad if it helped! Yeah I just looked it up on the website too and that looks weird honestly lol because the ones that are sold at other plant markets near me are bright green. Hope there's a little hope for the plant to keep growing.
@@GoodGrowing actually the yellowing or brown color might happen because it was grown in direct sunlight. If it's still firm and not mushy, it is fine in my opinion. I saw these a lot on trees especially near a forest. When it's drought season and all trees drop their leaves, this hoya will be susceptible by the direct sunlight and get sunburn from it. And then turn yellow or brown, but it'll turn green again when there's enough canopy to protect it from the sun. The tricky part of keeping this plant is their watering. They don't need soil, hate overwatering, but considered as thirsty plant too. I think you should treat them similarly to air plant.
@@dewantoroo okay very interesting.. the leaves(?) don't really feel that firm tbh... so I think it might be a goner
Hi Emma! I just wanted to comment on the variegated Sodiroi thing.
I know the OnlyPlants (think it was him from memory) video you are talking about. I have a sodiroi that I got as a super tiny pup, the leaves are maybe 1.5cm across and down. After about the 5th leaf the new growth came in looking speckled, it was tiny, (even smaller than the others) and it was distorted. It looked sick. This is when I googled and found the video you're talking about.
I honestly think my situation is what he was referring to. The leaves LOOK and feel unhealthy. Whereas yours look decent size, not distorted, round, full and healthy. Even so, I'd leave it isolated from your other plants til you get some new growth that's healthy and happy.
Just my two cents :)
Also I've seen hardcore hoya people put internationally acquired plants directly into a water bath, leaves and all.
Hey! I know we spoke on IG about this but thanks for that info. It's defo helping me figure out what to do about the sodiroi... isolation it is for now!
Ooh good to know about putting hoyas directly in water. Do they leave them in that for a while or just dunk?
woohoo what a score!! Congrats!!!!!
I’ve always wanted that second plant you have for forever omg! That’s so good!
Hi Emma, great unboxing lots of beautiful plants for your collection! I really liked your syngonium yellow varigata and the majestic Philo. Hope they all doing well for you. Have you reported them yet? I look forward to see their progress in your channel. Thanks for sharing and happy growing 😀.
Thanks :) Yeah there's some real beauties in there! I'll defo keep y'all updated in like a month or two! 💚
Good luck with all the great plants you received.
thanks :)
The dischidia major is actually its own species, not a Hoya! It might come back but it’s VERY dehydrated, it should be green and plump. I’d fully soak in water until you see signs of hydration or death, that’ll be it’s best shot at coming back
ah very interesting! thanks for the tips! tbh I think it's too far gone as it's sooooooo dry, it would likely rot if I just left it to hydrate in water 😳
@@GoodGrowing maybe add some hydrogen peroxide to your water
@@luislandofficial yeah that's a good idea! I'll do that next time I give them some more! Thanks!
Cool unboxing, thanks for sharing! The Paraiso - they're pretty hardy! But - the cool variegation disappears if they aren't kept really warm, and in really good light. Its genetic so stable as such but it doesn't express in the leaves in cooler conditions. I'm in southern Australia and it is too cool here even in my house for it to show, which is a bit sad lol! Mine is under bright light, but the cool climate makes the variegation go away!
hmmm that's a bit sad.... I guess the cabinet is the best place for it then.. once it's finished quarantining I'll chuck it in there. Thanks!
Yep, that's what it's supposed to look like. I just don't know why.?😮❤
For the Hoya galactic (?) I'd recommend chopping & propping a branch of healthy leaves.
Since the roots looked good, it may be stem rot. If you cut a stem and it bleeds white, that section is still healthy.
I have no idea about the Dischidia major (it's not a Hoya but they're super closely related). I looked it up and it seems like a really neat plant. Another expensive plant for my wish list 😭
yeah the hoya pretty much offed itself already... didn't really seem like stem rot though but all the leaves basically fell off 🙃
@@GoodGrowing 😢
Also wanted to add that Jaclynn from Jaclynn's Jungle here on YT has had really bad luck importing from these guys, and looks in this video as though they used similar packaging to hers and you also had a lot of yellow leaves. She imported a bunch of Hoya (twice) that were just mush. They either refund 50% or resend the plants but they're resending in the same packaging that didn't work first time around. Just a heads up for anyone considering purchasing :)
Here's a link to her latest video fail: czcams.com/video/9sJ2kV2e5n4/video.html
Oooh very good to know! I'm off to watch her video now! Thanks for sharing it!!
Ya it was heartbreaking
awww so freaking exciting!!! Aww shit that one hoya is dead
oh yeah it was wayyy dead...
I think you can buy virus test kits online for quite cheap! Might be worth doing that for the Sordiroi :) I think around £20. Looks quite like a normal leaf shape to me, normally virus' distort the shape I think!
yeah that's what I was thinking too. Let me see if I can find a kit 🤔
It’s so sad she was so excited and you see her excitement fade away throughout the video. Good thing she had some beautiful plants in the mix
yeah... I felt pretty down at the end of filming tbh! If nothing else, I'd love to be able to save the majestic and the paraiso verde, both of which I think are possible!!
Dischidia like that make two different kinds of leaves-a more puffy, cheese puff kind for ants to live in and have a beneficial relationship with the plant, and then more of a normal flat leaf. They’re so cool but yours may be(most likely) totes dead
that's so cool! All the images I've seen of them all green look super interesting!
I’ve orders from the twice and each time I had a horrible plant experience.
❤
Is your floor lamp regular and can use the plant grow light bulbs?
It's a hektar lamp from IKEA with sansei grow light bulbs in it :)
how long does it take to get there? months?
its been dry season in Indonesia for the past few weeks, normally it's rainy 🌧 some of my planters are bone dry and scorched too🤣🤣
I also just recently collecting syngoniums, they're very hardy and loves water. I care them just like my epipremnum😅 dip the roots in water for a couple days and it will perk up again, then repot those boys! 😃
This one took 2 weeks from the time I got the shipping notification to it arriving at my home. Which isn't terrible considering my last import took 3 weeks.. Still, it's not ideal for plants to sit in the post that long.
@@GoodGrowing wow.. that took so long!! considering the length of the wait, some of them surviving is a miracle tbh.
my longest wait for local shipment of plants is only three days yet it is already feed my anxiety🤣
@Arif Nugroho yeah I'm certainly happy some have survived! If the majestic is the only thing that makes it, it will still be a good day!
Did you ever figure out that dischidia???
not yet... tbh I think it's dead...
You do harm to the roots when you rip the dry moss off of the them; It adds to the acclimation time. I typically put the entire moss/root ball in water for 24 hours before removing the moss.
good to know. Thanks for the advice!
Paraiso verde will not be happy unless it has heat 😂😅
good thing the UK is in a massive heat wave right now 🥵
Watching
makes me sad that i have to par for mine
I hope they come alright!! 🤞
ppl have been getting shit from them with that paper packaging
free plants buh hah
That Dischidia Major looks dead unfortunately. The last few unboxings from Aroid Market that I have seen other CZcamsrs open have all been horrendous in which the plants have arrived dead and mushy including as someone stated earlier Jaclynn's Jungle who had 2 orders which all turned up dead. I would not touch this company with a bargepole.
yeah it's really odd though as you'd think if they're willing to send plants out to content creators they'd want to send them really nice healthy ones to show?
Exactly Emma. I don't think the paper packaging helps at all so I think they need to rethink how they pack them in the future as they must be losing quite a bit of money and most sensible traders would want to rectify this. I wonder if the people at Aroid Market watch the unboxing videos as they've had plenty of time to change the plant packaging but clearly haven't 🤔🤷♀
@@Carey.S75 so the odd thing is @thejunglehaven did an unboxing like last month I think from them and things were packed the same way and her stuff came amazingly! I guess it's the luck of the draw... I probs wont risk it again though 🤷🏻♀️
Why do we keep supporting Aroid Market? So many bad stories from people ordering from them.
Tbh after my experience with them post delivery, I wouldn’t shop with them again…
I like your exponential way and the fact you give us reality, but you are been such a drama queen. Plants in better condition then that just if they came from the nursery down the road.
On my first import of 11 plants(from Indonesia , different seller ) I managed to “save” 4 after 25 days in the post during winter. If my plants were in good shape like yours I would have them all.
Also, virus can look like variegation, YES one of the difference is that viruses deteriorate the plant and it’s new growth. If you are not sure, isolation is. The best think.
haha I don't want to go the nursery by you!! 😳
