Monstera Obliqua | Ultra Rare Houseplant | Jake Series Special | Ep 37

- čas přidán 6. 09. 2024
- Monstera obliqua is an extremely rare and highly coveted plant amongst aroid collectors. It is one of the most expensive plants in the hobby, often considered one of the “unicorn” plants, and hard to not include in anyone’s wishlist. I visit Jake’s place in Los Angeles who has an amazing specimen. Follow him @keepyourplantson_la on Instagram.

I love You. Vibe Tracks. CZcams Audio Library.
I'm so encouraged that young people are really getting into plants. It bodes well for our environment when there is an interest in the "natural" world. Believe it or not though, interesting plants have their cycles of popularity. When I first moved to Texas 27 years ago, I went to a begonia sale in Pasadena TX, hosted by all these 70s year old ladies who belonged to the begonia society. They had incredible heirloom begonias that they had bred. I am lucky to still have 2 specimen from that time.
Sadly, those ladies have passed but I still have an incredible memory of a perfect day of plant shopping, whereby they each taught me how to choose plants and how to propagate.
Thanks Jimmy and Jake and others who are turning a new generation to plants!
I think young people are equally excited to get into plants as well. It's good to care for something and watch it grow, especially for those of us who aren't ready or capable of pets or kids haha.
I love this story! I inherited my grandma’s garden, complete with heirloom roses and an own root peony that is at least 44 years old. They bring me no end of happiness.
Couldn't agree more
young millenial here, growing quite the plant collection. Recently got a monstera obliqua for just 2,50! it all started with euphorbia trigona my mother gave me and grew so big. Plants are great, plants are everything.
This was so scary when y’all kept touching it!! 😂
lol!
Yaaaas...& the way he's tilting the pot around
I adore the quotes printed on that guy t-shirt
The intrinsic passion for our natural world is as amazing as the diversity found on our planet. Rather than purchasing a large specimen, I love the journey of, and participating in, the growth of my plants. It is so satisfying to see others who share the passion. Thank you once again 🌿✌🌿
I have had mine for one year, I bought it maybe 30cm long with 7 strings. Now it's over 2M in length with 10 strings. Never thought it was that rare lol
Wow even such other rare forms! Wild! The Peru form he has so many leaves!! He's doing so well
It does not look like Adansonii. It has its personality and unique presence for sure! What a beautiful specimen!
it is an adansonii
Wow, such a stunning plant.
I'm wondering what the evolutionary benefit is for a plant to have minimal leaf surface. Maybe insects leave it alone because the plant looks already chewed. I think it is a totally cool looking plant and nature is amazing and intelligent!!
That’s one hypothesis. Another I’ve heard is it helps the plant deal with high winds and rains.
Not sure. Whatever the benefits, they only pertain to very unique environments, thus their rarity and difficulty to grow.
In their natural habitat, lower leaves need sunlight so the plant naturally made holes so the lower leaves could get light equally
Many thanks! I had no idea how rare and expensive some of these plants are🤩🤩
watching this sep 3rd, 2022 and thinking wow I just got a great specimen for $60 the prices two years ago was insane
Cool shirt
Hi friend thanks sharing your good information. I love it
Thanks so much for sharing this amazing Video of the Monstera Obliqua and all of Jake's Plants. He certainly is an inspiration. Keep up the good work.
Really a cool plant. I thought this was going to be, you unboxing your own!! Lol
Then the thumbnail would have been “It really struggled... and then died” 🤣🤣. Happy holidays!
Legends Of Monstera Awww
I love this plant so much!! I hope someday I can find one for myself
.
I love these videos! His collection is drool worthy 🤤
Love the t-shirt😁😁😁
I got one of these from a local garden centre for £7 😅
I didn’t realise it was rare until I got home and researched it!
I hope im wrong in your case , but these often are sold as obliqua when theyre really monstera adansonii. Just a heads up and like i said, i hope im wrong and you got the deal of a lifetime.
@@jmonkey1111 Yeah unfortunately I found out a while back now that I was miss-sold it, but I’m still super happy with it and he’s growing really well 🥰
@@DigiDemii That's all that matters👍👍. I want a carmel marble.....someday
@@jmonkey1111 Oooh I’ve never even heard of that one 😱
Do you have to eventually put it on a moss pole?
What substrate did Jake use for the Obliqua?
"Is a coincidence that Mitty and Monstera both start with an m? I think not." 🤣🤣 thanks for making me laugh!
I found this at one of Nursery in Jakarta, Indonesia.
This plant only has 2 small leafs and i get shock when the owner told me about Obliqua price. It is about $5,650 USD for 2 small leafs.
I ordered one from Ecuagenera to 🇨🇦. If it survives... what do I do?? Put in water and immediately into a high humidity greenhouse cabinet?
That obliqua is wild!
It is below 100 dollars in Malaysia now. The price dropped already?
I can’t believe how expensive they are over there!I got a two leaf baby obliqua for €2.50.It was in a bad way so they gave me €1 off.They are very slow growing to start,I didn’t think mine was going to make it either.His plant looks great
That's a lovely price for any plant!
Where are you located in the world?
Unless you are in a South American rainforest, they tend to come with price tags with at least a zero, or two, attached to baby plants such as what you're describing. Is it a true obliqua, though? Usually the monstera adansonii will be sold as being an obliqua. They look similar at first, but are completely different plants.
I thought one of the signatures of M. Obliqua is runners. Did Jake cut them? Does that force leaf growth? Curious to know if you know
Good question! I‘d be curious to know this as well.
Obliqua can produce runners but that it’s their signature is false information. Lots of monstera species produce runners from time to time. Yes, even the regular common adansonii can occasionally do it.
Good to know. Got that info from Kaylee Ellen who said it came from Mick Mitty 🤷🏽♀️
Yeah, I am aware of her video and she definitely did her homework and reached out to experts. Think that particular piece of info was misrepresented or not well communicated.
Legends Of Monstera yeah same with the “14-17 times in the wild” which was from a paper in the 1970s lol
You know, I have really been enjoying this series (like all of your videos), but I wish you'd let Jake finish talking after asking him a question. I thought he is a very sympathetic and passionate guy, his answers would have been interesting...
TheHammy1987 well that’s how he communicates
Thanks for the constructive critic. Yeah, it was a learning experience. Hoping to get better at this in the future.
Well you are exchanging thoughts and you get excited..☺️
Ive had mine for 2yrs. This week I noticed a dead leaf and yellowing in others. Its in a humidity tent with purp leds. temps in the upper 70s. Not sure whats happening. Also, what do you use for fertilizer? Thanks
Awesome! I learn so much from what your videos!
Thanks so much for watching and following along Liz!
I just bought a adansonii x oblique very excited interested about how to care for it though
I bought one of that size yesterday for 60 €/USD, a year ago it was worth four times or more here in Europe.
Hi guys what temperature and humidity are you keeping this priced specimen in
When i saw this plant on photos oder videos I really didn’t like it. Today I bought one after I saw it looking all sad and tiny on a shelf at a little flower store. I really fell in love with this and I hope it’s going to survive at my home. 😅😍
Beautiful plant
Wow 2024 i just bought one for $30 in Australia 🇦🇺
Awesome
Very beautiful!
Wow!!
I have one but she is really struggling. Wish me luck not to kill this beautiful plant. 🙏
What is the ideal humidity for M. Obliqua?
I love it but I don't like the way you guys belittle Adansonii in comparison to Obliqua. Both of them are stunning.
What fertilizer does he use?
Where are the stolon? I am now confused.
its an adansonii he was scammed or lying
Spiritu sancti in the background?
👏🏻👏🏻😊
Would you share your wishlist?
What substrate did Jake use?
Donde lo venden..???
Soy de Perú
Amo de mais , tenho 2 um é gigantesca.
Theres one available in NSE tropicals right now for $2700.
Oh, that's pretty good. Prices for them have stabilized. They will become more affordable this year I think.
Amazing plant! I pray that one day I will own one.
HI PLANT FRIENDS I GOT THIS PLANT GIFTED WITH NO PRIOR KNOWLEGDE FROM A GARDENER FRIEND AND I AM A STARTER HELP I DONT WANT TO KILL IT WHY IS IT SO RARE AND EXPENSIVE AND DIFFICULT WHAT DO I NEED
Hey there, where can I find the terrarium he’s using?
Think you can find them on Amazon.
Why do people now say “Im-pore-int” instead of “important”? Before some troll responds with “who cares?”, obviously, I’m curious about it, so I care.
Bring on the who cares.
Thank you to anyone kind enough to answer my question.
Can i get an opinion on Worm casting for aroids as fertiliser? I heard they are good, but i rarely see or hear anyone using it.
I approve of them though I don’t use them myself. Lots of people swear by them.
I use them. The quantity should be minimal just like regular fertilizer if your plants are in pots. My plants are on the ground so I put as much as I want, the plant can decide and knows how much to take. I don't have worries like over fertilizing or burning the plants since compost is biodegradable. Remember, not all compost are the same, you should know what in it if you plan on buying. It's best to make your own.
Im confused, i bought mine for 9 euro yesterday..it says the same name on the pot but im sure its different, anyone knows? Literally a total new guy in plants
Many times, nurseries misname and sell the M. adansoii as an M. obliqua either because they're not well versed in what the differences are, or to sell them at a higher price tag, or to get more people to come back to their shops. M. obliqua is so rare that nurseries will never sell them commercially unlike their more robust cousin, the M. adansoii, that grows fairly rapidly. If sold, a true M. obliqua would be over €2,100/$2,500/¥264,000/£1,900 for a small specimen.
what you have is adansonii which is completly different
♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥
i just 4 of these for like $30 it's happening bros
Obliqua...now that was some serious plant porn!
i had no idea these were extremely rare, I have 3 massive baskets of these! time to start selling cuttings, i guess!
I doubt that you do. I'm sure that you have adansonii, not obliqua. Please do not try selling them as obliqua unless you are positive that that's what they are.
Most likely the common adansonii but understandable confusion
I hv one
no you most likey dont about 17 to 20 people worldwide own oblicas, the cost upwards of three figures at minimum, only if it has stolon meaning runners without leaves and nodes with a paper like sheeth on them then its possible that you have one
I'm very jealous wish I had the money to have one of these
🌱😘❤❤❤🇧🇷🇧🇷
As of 2023, Obliqua is no longer "ultra rare". It is still very expensive, but very far from rare.
Too bad its native environment is being destroyed and all these plants will go extinct....
