- On Saturday, March 27th, a new and exciting plant shop comes to Long Island City, NY. Peter Palagian, owner of Planted by Christy (and involved with Nelly's Flower Shop in Williamsburg, Brooklyn), is opening the doors to this new space, which specializes in some exotic plants sourced from growers in Indonesia and Thailand. We got a sneak peek at what's in store before the shop launches-and even bumped into a couple plant pals.
Note: I only had my back-up back-up cameras and one audio, so this is not the regular quality you and I are both accustomed to, but definitely wanted to take the opportunity to give you a sneak peek before it opens. We'll have to do a proper tour in the near future!

Just so y'all know, I only had the back-up to the back-up camera with me and one audio (and no cameraperson), so this is not the regular quality you and I are both accustomed to on this channel, but DEFINITELY wanted to take the opportunity to give you a sneak peek of 'Planted by Christy' before it opens to the public on Saturday, March 27, 2021. We'll have to do a proper tour sometime in the near future. Hope you enjoy either way. :)
Summer do they ship?
Gurl it’s kool l for one was excited to see what you shared. Thank you
Why are the plants in moss? Are they recent imports?
camera person, classy!
It was so interesting thank you :)
Judging by a dozen of marantaceae that I've got, I can say that the ones that threw a drama fit once I brought them home and would stay in a miserable state for months with no growth at all were those that were sitting in very good conditions in greenhouses as opposed to an average plant shop. At times I bought a couple from a vendor in the street market and they kept thriving in my home uninterrupted. I don't own a humidifier and my heating completely dries up the air when it's on and an adansonii still grows comfortably two leaves per month during the winter. So I'd make the guess that except for some especially hard to grow plants that really need a special environment to thrive, all 99% humidity is going to achieve is make plants sellable quicker and then make it harder to acclimatize them into the customers' homes where they will eventually be.
I noticed that as well. When she asked about acclimatization and hardening off, he doesn't seem to know what he's talking about.
@@kiizutsuita To me it seemed like he knew so he chose to brush off the whole thing before the underlying question came through, but still...
Totally agree! They are giving in the perfect conditions that are impossible to create in a home environment.
As a long time plant-person these shops are wonderful something different but my only concern is the crazy prices on these plants. About four years ago NSE tropical was easy to buy from ...now everything is on auction making to hard to get plants with somewhat normal prices. Awwww the good old days ☺️
I was wondering this, too, will this be a trend and will this die down in a year or two? (and then costs will come back down?)
I am hoping their plants got better. I really want them to succeed because the plants would be more common to trade. Ive purchased a few "rare" plants from them and they all needed a lot of rehab. some died and they replaced them, but still took a while to grow normally . They are known for selling plants without roots for $$$$. plant prices are so high right now and they are capitalizing on it. They are trying to sell them ASAP without letting them to root enough. For the price it's not too much to ask for, if not I would rather order from Asia or South America. I wouldn't buy from them again unless I am willing to take up a rehab plant project or I just can't find the plant anywhere else. I will give them another chance once I see that they have increased their care for imports and see that their greenhouse room is not just a PR stunt. Im sure they will get there eventually, it does seem they want to send out quality plants . Only time will tell.
@ItIsWhatItIs ! Don't let what I said stop you from going. If you want to buy anything just inspect it well! Don't shock the plant further by repotting (you should always wait) and keep it in a humid area or even under a plastic bag until it gets used to your home. If it looks sad check the roots and contact the shop.
i don’t know any details of this but i got that vibe they are just capitalizing the nature of the plant market. i’m sure the shop is beautiful but i get smarmy vibes from the owner idk man
I've had some issues with plants from Nelly's for sure. One they sold me over the phone and when I went to pick it up a few days later it looked like it was about to die, sure enough it had no roots. But they are very nice and they will replace the plant if they have them still. The soil always needs to be replaced too, fungus gnats everywhere. But its the only place to get less common plants locally for a decent price 🤷🏻♀️
Wow amazing! I’d be super afraid to by plants from a shop that hasn’t acclimated the plants closer to conditions I could replicate. Granted they need high humidity (being tropical plants) but 99% will never happen in my home. 😩 The highest I get is about 70%.
Even 70% is high! How do you not get mould growing from such a high humidity?!
You should never have over 60% humidity in your home. You need to have a really good air flow and good vents to not get mold in the walls.
@@Dixiwonderlandyoutube I literally do not use humidifiers and my house is 60-70% all the time because of the volume of plants I own.
I would say above 50% is pretty average for the UK, my home is usually 60-75% in normal rooms and 70-100% in the bathroom. Yes mould on the walls is an issue particularly in cottages but mould preventative paint is helpful.
These prices need to make more sense..
Thank you for sharing beautiful plants, as always! I gotta say, me personally, would not spend too much $$$ on a single rare (and sometimes "rare") plant because it wouldn't bring me joy, rather stress to care for it properly, and even more stress if I lost. I hope that makes sense! Love the NYC plant shop tours! 🌿❤
Getting them into 99% humidity room is NOT aclimating them.
Idk if Summer is aware of the allegations against Peter! But I hope she reads these comments and removes the video of this man. He buys plans and then commits fraud by saying he didn’t authorize the purchase and admits it in the plant groups.
i wonder if the rare plant biz will be short-lived ultimately between business practices, the popularity of them, the care needs (either creating the microclimate or acclimatizing the plants). This aspect of the plant business/community feels like a bubble.
When everyone are selling "rare plants"....no longer be rare anymore.
Good. Then I can afford them
Big true instead they are nature..
They will because most of them will probably die of stress by being moved from a place with 90% humidity and growlight, to a 40% humidity apartment with shaded lighting. Rare plants are rare because they're difficult to grow and care for.
It's a huge ponzi scheme.
@@ThisIsMyFullName rare plants are rare because their natural habitats are disappearing
That amount of humidity just screams mold problems for me.. I don’t think that much is necessary....
Depends on if they have fans going
This made me feel so good!!! Such a cool yet humid place to be in , I’m sure the plants miss them when they are sent to the new homes!
Cute little plant shop. Most of those are pretty common here in FL. I never thought the Variegated Monstera deliciosas would go for such crazy prices when I bought 3 plants for less than $20ea 12 yrs ago at a local nursery. They are of course, huge now and have made variegated fruit which is pretty cool too.
That is so cool!!!!
i am patiently waiting until prices come way down again
@@amandalandaverde2622 You'll probably be waiting for a long time, as the interest in rare plants have grown exponentially in the last few years, and will continue to grow in the coming years. Hence why we're starting to see so many 'rare plant shops' opening online and now also with physical stores. It might even be a good idea to buy your favourite plant right now as it will probably just become more expensive, seeing as the pandemic has made plants even more popular, while also increasing prices because of shipment rates and less plants being grown because of lockdowns.
@@ThisIsMyFullName yeah ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ i’ve been lucky with trading for rare plants and am at a point where i’m mostly content with what i have! i don’t feel comfortable spending too much so it’s been a great alternative
Curious to hear how the plants are sourced. Are they being cultivated in their countries of origin or just dug out of the landscape? It would be good to know how sustainable/ethical these kinds of productions are at their source. I know propagation takes a while, but doesn't it make more sense than having to constantly acclimate everything all the time?
Everyone please "like" this so we can find an answer. We don't want a Vice video five years from now to make us hate all our plants!
Most all non fair trade product have ethical issues somewhere in their supply chain. Personally I buy used or try to make things myself to avoid supporting a bad supply chain. It would be amazing if someone somewhere could tell us plant people how the greenhouses treat their employees, where they even are, where the *seeds* come from and if gathering those seeds is done ethically.. A video on this only would be amazing. What do we know and not know????
I don't think that 99% humidity is beneficial to the plants.... I mean if they stay wet all the times... it is cloudforest environment... and not all plants are accustomed to that. It can actually do some damage to the leaves by blocking the stomatas and preventing gas exchange....
and it can also cause some bacterial infections... rot and mold... in the cloudforest you have constant strong airflow that prevents pockets of stale air.
I agree. They likely need some more air exchange / air flow. But it'll be interesting to go in there to do a more proper tour and see how they develop!
I believe he said that he is trying to give the plants the same environment as where they came from to acclimatize them, get the roots to develop “ “Get them ready to sell”.
It is not his 1st rodeo so let’s hope that he knows what he is doing for the sake of the plants and his pockets because. These are a GORGEOUS bunch😍
Otherwise without any transition, it will be harder for plants kept in that condition to acclimate to a regular home environment.
He sort of glossed over her repeated questions to clarify the acclimatisation process. Sure, it's nice that you are "replicating" the "environment where they came from" by cranking up the humidity to 99% and causing them to push out new leaves and look good quickly. However without a proper acclimatisation process to get the plants stable in conditions that you are more likely to encounter in the average home, chances are these plants will be purchased only for the buyer to be disappointed at how they fare two weeks or so down the line...
@@sunshinesmile94 true but If you're buying these plants you should know you cant just grow most of them out in the open
that room looks like it has no ventilation, im surprised they dont have problems with fungus and bacteria infections
Most plants I buy from Nelly's come with lots of fungus gnats 🤷🏻♀️
just give it time...
Please don't give this gentleman any spotlight.
He has been out harassing, slandering, and posting libelous statements online to harm other businesses.
He himself has also noted that he "does not know much about rare plants."
His attitude and behavior is atrocious.
How would one create that environment after purchasing a plant from there to my home...it would instantly die 😳🙆
I'd buy a small plant and then stick it inside a large glass jar with glass lid. I would never spend the money for these rare plants though. Not worth it for me.
You can't. That is the big issue with shops not acclimating plants. People pay a fortune and they die
My heart skipped a beat when I saw that price tag of $5,000 for an variegated adansonii mint.
Why is it so expensive?
@@TriniMonstera because people make it expensive
I was waiting for someone to say that. I thought maybe they weren't in USD or else I read it wrong.
I'm a plant lover. I have been for decades. I feel bad for the new generation of plant lovers having to pay ridiculous prices for plants they feel an urge and passion to nurture. I'm even more disappointed to see such high end shops promoted from such a great plant advocate as Summer Rayne.
I'm surprised that our community is not having a conversation about how out of reach houseplants have become for so many.
i agree :/ it’s become more of an elitist hobby throughout covid (which is especially ironic given the economic strain the pandemic has put so many in) with social media and facebook groups that strictly prevent “price shaming.” it’s annoying to feel newbies are being exploited but no one seems willing to have a broader conversation about it! i’ve only been invested in this hobby the last couple of years but have built up a decent collection through trading because i refuse to pay prices that are sometimes like 50x more than they used to be. i’m waiting it all out
Also, higher prices makes poaching alot more attractive.
I think she just trying to target smaller local plant shops because of Covid. But if the neighborhood she resides in is expensive it just leads to a lot of expensive plant shops. Idk I hate to say it but I’ve been disappointed in the lack of knowledge by some local plant shops in my community so I feel like it’s not a rare thing to see a lot of price gouging with these “rarer” plants. I saw a plant shops selling a Rhaphidophora as a adansonii and at $40 and them selling h. kerrii single leaves with the promise it might sprout a plant.
Planted by Christy is really a gem of a plant shop! I’d have to travel an hour and a half of highway driving to Logee’s to find any kind of excellent variety. I hope plant people get out and support this awesome source of plant life.
I need to check out both! Have yet to visit Logee's
This is amazing since so many of these plants have not been available in NYC before, but I'm a bit concerned that they don't understand the concept of "acclimating." Recreating the home environment is great for recovery after shipping, but it is not acclimating the plants to the apartments of people in the city. A huge number of these aroids are probably going to die shortly after purchase if they are going straight from 95% humidity to a home without a greenhouse/terrarium.
My thoughts exactly as i was confused when he said acclimatise to 95% humidity which is basically creating the same environment in Indonesia and Thailand. Acclimatise should be gradually making the plant getting to used to NYC weather slowly. I think those plant will die for sure unless they did something else we arent aware of. And ppl mention no ventilation at this place which i agreed as it will cause fungus.
Back room felt like the stage for a weird 80s music video with volumetric lighting. All you need to do is tease the hair.
Wow 5000$ for such small plant did I see that right 😳 ... I mean I get that it's rare, imported plus the cost for artificial light, high NY rent for the shop etc. but damn.
Is it common in the US that plants can be that expensive? I'm living in germany and have never seen such prices even for some rare imported plants apart from some really old and stunning bonsais.
Yes we're very lucky in Europe it seems - on my shop tour videos there are always Americans commenting on the low prices haha (I'm in the Netherlands)
I live in Brooklyn and I think this is kind of insane? I don't think it's worth that much
I live in Sweden and a cutting of a Monstera Adansonii Mint Variegata was out in a facebook group for 4000 usd. So it happens here as well :) The mint is more rare but also more stable so I guess that´s why it´s so expensive.
@@plantwithroos I always watched your plant shopping, because you have good prices and amazing good size plants that properly rooted and stable👍
There's bound to be some idiot that will buy it.
Did that monstera adansonii variety say $5000? That's insane. No house plant is worth that. Unless maybe it was actually grown on the moon. Shipping would be out of this world!
I took a look at the prices and my eyes bulged. And I complain about a 30$ plant which here in Romania is considered expensive.
We are lucky that in Europe we have import from NL for lots of plants so its not that much money even for some rare ones 😀
I mean it does really depend on the plant, there are really expensive plants in Europe as well. But I know what you mean, I payed 40€ for an established syngonium albo
I live in Brooklyn and I think these prices are insane, lol. But I think there are people with a lot of money in NYC who can pay that I guess. Still doesn't make it normal.
The $5000 is the one that got me! I thought, there is no way I saw that correctly, but when they showed it again, $5000 was right!
Love seeing new plant shops opening! 😄
My wallet is crying....
😊
Thank you Ms. Summer, I’m sure glad I don’t live anyway near that plant shop💚🙃
😄
This guy is disgusting, he just got exposed for shady stuff on facebook he’s been doing since being in the plant community. Hopefully others will soon realize
I wanna know what he did!
wow, you girls are having so much fun! I need plant lover friends.
I'll take one of each plant! Please and thank you!! Beautiful, beautiful plants. OMG. :)
I'm so excited for this!! This is only a 5-minute walk from my partner's apartment, so dangerous and tempting! I can't wait to visit :)
I'd be screwed!
WOW what a FANTASTIC Plant Shop, so many beautiful plants, I really enjoyed this amazing tour around, thanks so much for sharing your wonderful visit with us Summer, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Thursday XXXX
I’m SOOO excited for this shop, I live nearby and have been dying to see what they have, so excited for the HOYAAA!!!!
Same!!
Please read up about him before supporting his business.
This is great news. I have been shopping at their sister store Nellys for years. Nellys is the type of plant shop where although it’s small it makes up with great service and quality. Well worth three block walk. I know this shop is definitely gonna be amazing. I can’t wait until Saturday to check them out and show my support. I guess now l have to set up one of those lakes humidity cabinets.
I wonder how much sale volume per week does a rare plant shop like this makes? I just can't imagine that there's a daily stream of customers visiting the store and regularly dropping $$$+ for plants. Best of luck to the new store.
This guy is disgusting, he just got exposed for shady stuff he’s been doing since being in the plant community. Hopefully others will soon realize 😢😢
Hopefully they will. He is vile!
What has he done
Can you give more information? i'd like to know but I can't find anything about him in google searches
@@al.m765 I'm wondering if it's even true since no one seems to be backing up what they are saying with proof
New plant shops are the best!
Man that back room is BEAUTIFUL!!! Goals!
Love Nelly's, can't wait to visit here 💕
I'm glas to see someone else meeting market demand with the latest hard to get plants, which equates to prices eventually decreasing, but if he is rehabbing from transport at 99% humidity and selling direct I can see many many customers having dead plants from not being acclimated to human level humidity.
Pretty neat shop🤗 I have same name🥰. But with the prices of plants now, Im pretty happy on what I can get from my Garden Center😉. Too scared to buy expensive plants and just die on me🤪.
Thanks for update of channel stay safe miss summer
So good to know this exist. I’ve only been buying online since last December. Love your videos!
So cool! thanks Summer : )
Oh cool, so you’re now deleting comments calling out a scummy seller that you’re promoting on your channel? Bye.
omg is this true?
Posted a regular comment with a link to the fb post calling him out, that got deleted. Then posted another as a reply to her pinned comment with the same link, and summarized what he did, that got deleted too. I’m unsubscribing. Such a bummer.
She did modeling for an MLM so this lack of research or care is nothing out of the blue :/
its sooooo weird to see how u guys from US is getting plants (almost all same) from us Asia and we are getting plants from Europe. Wow, did I see that monstera adansonii variegated for $5,000!!!! oMG! just when i thot its $$$$$$$$$ in Singapore!
Already see 10 plants I want LOL including the awesome moss ( I think🤔) handbag and shoe! 🌿
omg I'd come out without any money left for the bus home
I love the family business story and the involvement of his daughter. What beautiful plants and what a small world in such a big city running into a friend. Wish I could walk into a shop that has such beautiful plants.
I saw some scindapsus lucens. That is rare even here in Southeast Asia
I agreed. But he said he source from thailand and Indonesia so many it still there but only sold to western market and not for local
@@tristanlee6538 yes that was true. They dont want to sell to local because westerner sure pay a good amount of money
@@leafnfins8631 yeah. I live in malaysia and i hardly find any. But i saw Thailand have a lots especially selling chatichuk market on Wednesday where they whole street is line with plant, cultivar, variety and etc. If only i can get across the border but we need Phytosanitary cert.
Stunningly beautiful shop and plant specimens, but $5,000 for a 'Monstera Adansonii Mint Variegated'...wow! ~ maybe a little like Tulipomania in the 17th century!
Ahhh darn I missed you! I just went today! So many great tropicals! 🥰
I hope they have a bunny behind the counter like Nelly's always does.
I'm grateful that I live in Indonesia... with high humidity ..
I dont feel like talking about prices but the price tags on these, tiny monstera adansonii variegata for usd$5000, a tiny pink splash syngonium for usd$175, a tiny philodendron sodiroi for usd$375, are making my jaws dropped. I do miss the old normal prices sometimes. I know these shifts in prices are due to the marking up of prices all the way at the source in Thailand and Indonesia though due to the huge demand. But still.... Thanks for showing a great video on the market in the states. An eye opener!
Beautiful thank you 😊
Oooo can't wait to get down there to check it out🥰
Lov watching all ur video
5K for a plant, I’m out.
Nope nope nope. Do not support Peter. He is a scammer! He tried to take advantage of a seller but she wasn't having it. Go Sara!
A few have said that but no one is telling us what happened...care to explain?
Beautiful video.. Thank you... Stay safe..
ohhh my neighborhood! Yay
Ooohhhh... nice!
The Tortums!! Omg 😍😍😭🤍
Amazing
Nice plants.....👍👍👍👍👍
Read some reviews some rare plants cost an arm and leg. Will check it out when I am closer to Queens.
[Dr. Evil voice]
FIVE...THOUSAAAND DOLLARS!!!
ᵐʷᵃʰ ʰᵃ ʰᵃ ʰᵃ
Don’t mean to disrespect the people that made this shop, but 100% humidity is not healthy and definitely not suited for a large part of the plants showed in the video. It’s just a matter of time before they get lots of problems with rot :/
omg i cant wait to go tomorrow
Clicked INSTANTLY 😍😍😍
Wow .. apparently there are plants imported from Indonesia ..Hopefully it's still all fresh & healthy ..~ Japra el Nino ~ (Jakarta-Indonesia)
Yeah, spotted a lot of Aglaonema Rotundum apart from the pictums
I would love to go there
The prices are high, even if you have a Manhattan level salary!
I would better buy rare plants from American Etsy sellers, the price about the same but grown in room temperature and humidity.
The plants stayed at 99% humidity at the shop. Consider how much the humidity at your house is. Rare plants have a hard time acclimatize... This is not a statement of to buy or not to buy, but to prepare your house environment for the plant to acclimatize. At the end of the day you pay an arm and a leg for it.
video quality was great. It's hard to see through the mist, lol, no matter what. I am sure the quality of plant and care they are getting once out of the box and into the high humidity accounts for the hefty price tags. Thanks, Summer. And did you say your middle name is Hyacinth?
In my experience that much humidity in a home will lead to mold on your walls and fungus on leaves! Do not try this at home! Take it from my experience!! 🥴😄
Yes give me that Thai constellation monstera and the pictum tricolor
I thought I spotted some nepenthes pitchers.
Did you? So maybe they do have them. What timecode?
Definitely going there for the hoya kerrii at a minimum. I have been desperate to find a place that would sell an actual plant and not just a single leaf.
Read up on him. You'd be better off supporting a seller on Etsy than this gentleman who is harassing other businesses online.
@@mavel2038 Thanks for the heads up. I already had some concerns based on their lack of understanding of acclimatization and what will assuredly be a mold/fungus filled greenhouse but I definitely won't be supporting them if this is the case.
Indonesia!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Summer, do they have any carnivorous plants?
I didn't have a lot of time to look through every plant, but I didn't catch any carnies (but that's not to say they are NOT there). But if they are not, and you ask, they will bring in.
The camera quality is amazing what do you use
Present from indonesia
the focus is never right and it was filmed at 12 FPS it's painful to watch, litteraly gave me a head ache
Nice video, when are they going to open up a website?. Right now I do not have the chance to go visit the store, because of my job. It's close to home, and I'm looking for plants for my reptile tank.
Wow, that is a plant shop that I'd love to visit and shop in.
I like ❤️
The spagnum moss is a BIG no no! Not eco friendly so its not worth the 300year wait fow new moss growth that you can harvest
Meaning ca 300 years for 10 cm growth
💕💕💕💕
😎
The Batman-Shop :D :D :D
I wish I lived near this store, but I'm sure my husband is glad we don't. Do they have a website? Do they ship plants ?
No shipping yet, I asked :(
Do they ship? Nice video with lits of nice plants 👍🙏
Look for the plants elsewhere, this shop is INSANELY overpriced
You can find a lot of rare gems on etsy and some shops ship directly from Thailand and Indonesia
@@uttfan thank you so much for the heads up. Appreciate it!😊

Hi, what are manifestation of nomenclatural changes on gardners.
