Also it's a horrible idea to get a bunch of new things that need care, that's setting yourself up to fail. If you do it over time your habits can adjust to the new plant care.

Im from Germany and you cant go a day without seeing this Plant on Facebook or Instagram.

[@metasymphony]

tbh adansonii is one of the plants where I like the green one more. It’s more visually impactful from a distance cause the focus is on the fenestrations, but the variegated one just looks like a green a white blob unless you look closely at it. Not saying this to be edgy, I honestly love a lot of other popular and variegated plants, but my bank account is thankful I never saw the appeal of that particular one lol

I got my Anthurium crystallinum for 80 ruppees.. that's like a dollar and 2 cents..?? 🤣And no it was not a baby plant.

[@harlowcreek]

Hot take: All variegated plants are over hyped and are not as pretty as their non-variegated counter part.

[@TrungTran-yg3uv]

Eeeeeh I'd disagree. This is not a houseplant, but Physostegia virginiana 'variegata', besides the variegated foliage, has pale pink flowers as opposed to the species plant's bubblegum pink, and it's a lot less blocky when massed. There are plenty of other examples too: Salix intergra 'hakuro nishiki', Aspidistra elatior 'variegata', or Cornus alternifolia 'argentea'.

[@nadeeyaakira]

Depends on the plant. I have variegated a. macrorrhiza and i think its as beautiful as the non-variegated. I do agree that variegated plants prone to revert as I'm struggling with the variegation intensity that decreased. And yes variegated adansonii is ugly lol *sorry for my bad english

[@_AbhiRam_]

I HATE variegation. Idk why people like these varieties so much

[@jacobhicks7319]

I agree with you on the mint variegation thing, it just reminds me of mosaic virus and makes the plant look sickly

[@thejavaflorashop3541]

I love love love the Paraiso Verde. love the leaf shape and fast growing, easy to take care and the varigeation ughhh firing.

[@shanejtan]

I agree with you on most of this list. I do think pink princess should've been on this list, haha it is stupidly overhyped, and like the dishwater variegation you mentioned, I think most pink princesses have a dirty or muddy look to them and for the price they're going for right now, I'd rather wait. 1. Paraiso Verde: I agree, I've never liked the variegation (sure, there's a couple leaves where I"m like ooh, nice) but for the most part not worth spending the money for and harder to take care of than jose buono or giganteum variegata which are much prettier in my opinion. 2. Caramel Marble: It's a lovely plant but yes so overpriced and if we were to base it on that, I prefer the golden dragon variegata 3. Strawberry Shake: Yep, juvenile leaves are ugly AF and unfortunately that's the only way you're gonna get a hold of these plants in auctions and sales right now, as small 1-2 leaf cuttings, and apparently it's really slow to grow and root too, so not worth my while 4. Adansonii Variegata: I love this plant, yes it is overpriced and there's a lot in circulation in Europe (don't think so as much anywhere else in the world), but that is due to certain people hoarding on a certain plant shop's restock of them selectively, and those private sellers growing and propagating and trying to make 1-2k on a 1-2 leaf cutting, and that's how it's become a lot more prevalent in UK/EU. Hopefully will go down in price in time. 5. Mint anything: I love mint too but nothing is ever truly mint, and it's honestly down to an individual plant's genetics that, as you said, may push a minty looking leaf every now and again under certain conditions, but it isn't stable. Also the adansonii mint is an Indonesian form I'm pretty sure, and it sells for like $15 there but is going for over $1,000 anywhere else in the world, which makes me suss if it is natural or a virus. 6. Strawberry Ice: there are so many prettier syngoniums as you said. This one just looks like baby's vomit to me, end of. Haha! 7. Ace of Spades: love this plant too but not the price and glad to hear it was in TC so hopefully prices will come down to like EU clarinervium levels in a few years! 8. Black Cardinal Variegata: Haven't seen many of these for sale in EU, not my cup of tea, but I remember seeing a whole batch of variegated philodendron in Asia all being listed over the four-figure mark easily (black cardinal, imperial green variegata etc...) 9. Variegated Tetrasperma: The price of these is shocking, I'd rather get a Spiritus Sancti, thanks! Haha! Hopefully this will also be TC on Thai Constellation levels in the next few years and become more accessible. 10. Cream Splash: There's so many variations of this that I can't keep up now (there's a stripe one too), honestly I prefer my plain old brasil. I would love a big bushy cream splash, but never see any for sale and would hate to see what they go for if a 1-2 leaf cutting sells for about $60.

Completely agree, the only variegated plants I like are stromanthe triostar and Hoyas, not really fussed on others tbh

[@frasercook5823]

@@alfredmeneses5496 I prefer naturally occurring variegation over a cultivar.

[@magdalena2238]

I agree, for me variegated plants don't look healthy. There are exceptions, but I love big green leaf 🌿

[@OkayPakaLolo]

I cracked up when you flipped upside down. 😂 😂 Great video! Agree with the dirty dish water. Bleh.

[@pklfeedtheflame]

Me too!

[@lleo9703]

Thanks, Kaylee! As others have said, your opinion is yours and any opinion is taken with a grain of salt, so to speak....I just enjoy listening to you! I have a “pink syngonium” I bought for 7 USD at a local shop and love it more than paying $$$$ for those special pink ones.

[@EdetaKudou]

Is there any chance we could get another video on TC? I really enjoyed the last one and would love to know how it all went with your samples

[@planttipswithempress4475]

I love these sort of vids from you! I would love a "regret" video! 😊

[@shannonmaconaghy9122]

The variegated adonsonii are impossible to find in America even on trade groups and Etsy shops! If your lucky to find one it certainly is in the 4 digits. I’ve wanted one for a very long time but have been holding off for the prices to drop

[@marcryanballadares1942]

Glad to found this video.. was about to purchase a pricey one leaf cutting..Thanks!

[@oliverpiong6558]

She said “no❤️” and I’m here for it

[@rozie.cheeks875]

I love my crea splash philo, but I got it as an 6" full pot for $30usd so definitely not complaining! 💛 I wouldn't have spend more than that on it for sure.

[@fantail7214]

Totally agree! IMO plants over hyped here in NZ, string of turtles, hoya Indian rope and now veragated monstera all have ridiculous prices paid for them. Like you say; just wait until T.C'd and the market is flooded and the price will plummet. Someone paid 5k for a hoya and 6.5k for monstera

[@deborahoverton4625]

Admittedly, I'm no plant expert in Indiana, USA, but I've never heard of most of these plants and would never pay over $ 50 for a plant unless it cured cancer. Enjoyed your video. Thanks since I'm not going out now.

[@capitanamarvel1115]

I feel a bit sad for my American plant friends, because I live in Peru and I have almost all the plants on this list. I bought them for less than 5 dollars. But hey, feel happy because this country is terrible to live in, at least I have all the jungle inside my house

[@lillianbozarth7948]

OH MY GOSH! I remember the caramel marble being like $50 (USA) last year

[@nikki5665]

Wow... Just.... Wow

[@hallorican]

Wpw really? I wish I had seen it. Did you buy it then?

[@Sutsamadori97]

When the strawberry shake and the variegated monstera adansonii came up I just thought finally I am not the only one anymore that thinks that 😂

[@wyattbashinski6320]

I Love the Eye Shadow!!!

[@jovinalabiano6336]

At looong last, you said it! All as in ALL plants you've mentioned, exactly my thought! Now I know I'm still normal.

[@nikki5665]

I agree with most of these... And it's funny seeing them on purges often and the prices they go for. I can't wait for a syngonium rare plant index and for var. Adasonii to come down. It's still a unicorn for me 🥺

[@notyourfriend5899]

Paradise Verde- $175 and up I saw the Carmel marble plant for $2,500 on etsy!!! Strawberry shake $300-$990 Variegated Adansonii low end $500 Higher end is $10,000. Yes $10thousand!!! Mint Deliciosa- Lower end $700 Mint Adansonii- Low End $700 High end. $25,000 Florida Ghost Mint- Low end $170 Strawberry Ice- Starting at $359 Ace of spades starting at $325 Black cardinal Variegata can go up to $5,000 Variegated Tetrasperma- starting at $11,0000 Philadendram Cream splash starts at $56-

[@anjamoerk]

Haha - anything with „Strawberry“ in the name doesn‘t really look appealing to me as well 😂😂😂

[@mazikeen7597]

God, I agree so much about the strawberry shake.. shit😁😁😁. But girl your expression 😜

[@amelieavermaete6641]

I own the philo brasil, cream splash, silver stripe and rio, and love them all haha. They're just all a tiny bit different from each other, but all beautiful. And they also earn me a little bit of money which is a lovely bonus.
