I'm so glad you included the Pink Princess. I've rarely seen photos of a specimen that looks nice, and I rarely see many with very much variegation. That being said, I recently bought two from overseas so I can grow them out to cut them up to sell, assuming I can get them to grow well.

[@thedollhousechannel]

Thank you for posting this video! 😁 I love this topic because much like you, I cannot wrap my head around why some plants are so expensive, especially the mostly green "rare" plants. While I do not believe in price shaming sellers, nor do I believe in telling people how to spend their money, I do believe there is a limit to what is "fair" to charge for houseplants. In my opinion, there is no reason why a 6 inch (or smaller) potted plant should cost as much as 50 Nintendo Switches, a brand new car like a Honda Civic, or a year of College depending on where you live. When you put it into a perspective like this, it seems crazy, but some people are fine with paying 20,000 dollars for a tissue cultured Monstera. I'm just hoping the super high prices for the rare plants don't encourage hobbyists to start overcharging for common plants.

I have no problems with people selling 'rare plants', by all means they are not a necessity, and are not the only plants we can grow. I just like to put things into perspective for consumers.

When you receive a plant from the mail, is it okay to gently turn the pot upside down, remove the plant slowly to check the root system? Just to make sure that you know what you are dealing with.

I did do a little spendy thing and went for the global green online. Sadly it has been held up by USPS...the seller sent it first class 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️(it was supposed to be free shipping) and I'm bummed. It's been in the mail 11 days. In a box. In the dark. Supposed to be several nodes on each rooted piece. I bought 2. Oy! I'm afraid it will be DOA...and when I inquired the seller was like oh just file for missing package with USPS and I was like is it insured? Ummm no. Well then that won't do me much good! It is supposed to be delivered TODAY. 🙏🤦‍♀️ I'm praying somehow this thing survived...and I don't need to try to get the seller to "make it right" as she says she would do...but hasn't seemed too experienced with shipping nor has she seemed overly concerned. 🤞🤞🤞 🤦‍♀️ Oy!

I am in my 60's and have been gardening for a looooong time, first seed I planted was basil in my mom's kitchen and it got huge! LOL I've NEVER seen such hype about plants in all these years. If people pay the prices, they will stay up, don't they realize that???? Anyway, I would like a dupe video because I would love to find a large leaf, velvety plant and there are so many out there, but again, I refuse to pay a ton of money. BUT, if you want to splurge and buy yourself that certain plant you want, once in a while, no problem, like anything else. Just use common sense. I also just started watching your videos and I find your sense of humor so dry!! And when it comes to plants, you certainly know your stuff!! Thanks!

Love your video :) Thank you for saving me a ton of $$$ haha

[@phytosexual]

Any way I can save people money. Thank you 💚

[@christopherwelsh6665]

I love your personality and humor. I’m so glad I checked this video out. Informative, and very entertaining...and very well made and edited. Subscribed.

[@phytosexual]

Thank you. I spend a ton of time editing! I feel like people don't notice haha

Woow, I did not expect Hoya australis Lisa on that list. Here in Germany they are super cheap. I got my full plant for like 8 Euros (which is around 8 Dollar, too). Crazy. Love the video idea! It's become such a weird hype to buy super expensive but unimpressive plants.

You are becoming my favorite by the second . 💛

New video out :)

I also grew cucamelons for the first time this year and was also disappointed. They are so cute but they aren’t as tasty as I had hoped. I think they are a little better if you pick them before they are full size (like you would other gourds/squash/etc.), but still not planning on planting them again next year.

[@phytosexual]

They were so vigorous too! Good idea on picking them early though. They were just all seeds for me. No crunchy delicious cucumber flesh whatsoever.

[@mommylonglegs510]

@@phytosexual I know, right?!? They look like they would make great cocktail pickles, but none of the recipes I tried could make them appealing.

I have the emerald green pothos but not the global green. I collect as many pothos varieties as I can lol so I wouldn’t mind having the global green 🤣

With Ceropegia, String of hearts, here's the deal - it needs light, and I mean lots of it, to maintaine the silver. I have one, it grows like hell (tripled the lenght in about 1.5 month), but only after putting it udner lights, it started showing again this silver leafs. So, give her time (and light), she is worth it :D and here in Poland it is rather cheap baby :)

[@phytosexual]

Thank you for the advice!

I love this video! This one and your no buy November video have really helped me reign in my “need” for some of those rares and have inspired me to better appreciate the ones I have! I’d love for you to do more like this, maybe by genus. 🤔 Anyhow, I just want to say that I’m super impressed by how knowledgeable you are regarding plants and also how ridiculously hilarious you are! 2020 needs more of you! 🤣

[@phytosexual]

I need less of 2020 hahaha

[@ROKYNROBYN]

I fucking love you and everything about this channel. You made me spit out my coffee laughing this afternoon while I was watching silently with closed caption. My coworkers already think I'm nuts. Thanks to you, it's confirmed. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@phytosexual]

People always say stuff like this to me lolol, glad you're getting work done, I won't tell your boss.
