14 Rare Plants You'll LOVE! Unveiling My 2023 Wishlist 🌱💫 | Unique Foliage Plants 🍃 Revealed!

[@StalkerNaturaliste]

The red corkscrew anthurium that is "easy" to find is Anthurium scherzerianum and I think it's totally underrated.

Gotta get you on Tropicals live sale. Lol The Papi, wendlingeri an Nagrolamium Gigi all there. Shipping soon too your area 😂🫶🏼💚

[@Houseplantygoodness]

Tropicals live sale, huh? Count me in! 🌴😍 My wallet is going to hate me. Do they have fast shipping do you know?

[@KathyGallagher01]

@@Houseplantygoodness the cut off date for buying plants is the 14th September and they will ship out on the 30th Sept and should get to your home within 4-5 days they do make a stop off with I believe Kaylee to then come to you, hence no paperwork needed.

I got myself a papilliaminum...a few one true and two that are crossed . I also got a Gigi she is gorgeous. I love my matallicum its fairly easy going . I recently got a philodendron luxurians it's only a one leaf but she is working on a new leaf I can't wait . My Florida beauty is still young but as easy as the ghost I love them both . I am definitely not a hoya girl I don't one even one , no desire to either lol. I love my blue oil iv had him for years now he is one of the coolest . If you like the blue oil fern you should look at a Elaphoglossum metallicum ,it has the same blue oil sheen . Love your choices for your list . ❤

[@sherryporsch9349]

Good to hear your Metalicum is doing good, mine is kinda struggling at the moment. 💚

[@Houseplantygoodness]

@tdillonaniawhitaker1200 - Your plant fam sounds amazing! 😍 I'll definitely keep Elaphoglossum metallicum on my radar!

[@tdillonaniawhitaker1200]

@Houseplantygoodness I got it from Ecuagenera, but it's not in the aroid section ,it is in the Tropicals section.

[@KathyGallagher01]

Do love knowing wish list plants of others, am sure you will be able to cross a few of those off in the next year. Couple of the ones you mentioned, especially the Hoya I would love but will have to wait. Personally been on a bit of a spending spree lately, don’t ask lol. Got a little Papillilaminum which has not skipped a beat and is already giving me a new leaf, a small luxurian x nigrolaminum which arrived at the same time and noticed yesterday she has also got a new leaf coming. I’m so excited for them both to see how they grow! Have ordered a Wenlingerii which should be arriving early October along with several other plants, like you I have NO self control when buying plants, thankfully winter coming so not getting any in the colder weather, will just concentrate on the ones I have, and hopefully not kill them 🤪💚😁

[@Houseplantygoodness]

@KathyGallagher01 - Sounds like you've got some exciting growth happening! 🌱 Winter is the perfect time to show our current plants some extra love. 💚 I am the same no self control 😅😅😅😅😅

[@northliu1196]

Hey Memo, very nice list of plants, I am so very fortunate to have picked up papillilaminum, Gigi and metallicum this year! All of them exceeded my expectation! The metallicum I unboxed with you is pushing out a stunning new leaf! For the papililaminum, there soo many cultivar to get, and they are still pretty expensive. I also got a few sprouted NSE Wendlingeri, I hope I am skilled enough to get them grow well haha. I think the pig tail anthurium flower you are thinking of is from Anthurium scherzerianum, the spandex of the flower is bright red and very curved. Very interesting plant, but not very easy to find. The pedatoradiatum is soo stunning! If you like it and the pedatum, you might like A. podophyllum too. I think podophyllum has a lot of potential, I wish more people know about it.

[@Houseplantygoodness]

@northliu1196 - Congrats on your new additions! 🥳 Anthurium podophyllum does sound intriguing! and looking at it, i see what you mean in terms of similar vibes for sure. Hope all your recent additions are growing super well for you 🤞💚🌿

[@aloyer7488]

Aloha Memo, Yes Monstera Burle Marx is on my short Longgg term Wish List. (Until the price comes down). BUT, a must have 2024 Wish List plant suggestion: ***Philodendron Esmeralda SP***. Saw this on a Kaylee E unboxing, & had to have it. Maybe you already have this Beauty, but if you don’t, just know it has, “Memo tattooed all over it”. This Gorgeous SP goes by at least 3 different SP names, but 4th could be, “Esmeralda Memo’s SP!!!”………..

[@sherryporsch9349]

It’s growing behind Memo.

[@Carey.S75]

The nigrolaminum gigi is super easy, very much like the Anth. Arrow. Highly recommend. The leaves are quite dark with a bluish metallic sheen to them, not quite as thick as the Arrow's leaves, and not fuzzy. As for the Hoya undulata, there are difficult Hoyas and then there are extremely difficult Hoyas; Hoya undulata falls into the latter 😬😬To grow successfully you would need to give it high humidity and temps above 24 deg. C day and night, not too much light, water when almost totally dry, then cross your fingers 🤣🤣But then if you like a challenge.....

[@Houseplantygoodness]

@careyspragg9975 - Thanks for the pro tips! And yeah, challenge accepted on that Hoya. 😬🤞

[@ronjakh]

@@HouseplantygoodnessI grow my Undulata in 35% humidity ish, north of the arctic circle so not very high temperatures and i grow it in pon. I water it when i see the top layer of pon is dry. It also sits about a meter below a grow light. No issues whatsoever, but a bit of a slow grower.

[@oktszu4198]

If you have El choco and planning on buying Luxurians, think about Verru Amazon Sunset as well. They go nice together

[@richardr5878]

Interesting list. Love the long leaves as well. I’m still staying away from anthurium (for space) and lucky to have some alocasia that fill some of those vibes. So far, I agree BMF is pretty slow grower, BUT I’d say in the same way as a Thai con or even Esqueleto is in my experience. They kind of chill for a while and at some point, catch their stride and explode. My Esqueleto cutting did near nothing for almost 6 months, popped a few leaves, now this summer rivals golden pothos and throwing some monsters. My BMF was a tiny start. It’s now doubled in overall size, with leaf size increasing exponentially. I up potted it a couple weeks ago and hope for some lobster claws by summers end. 🤞🏽I actually enjoy some slower growth plants. Makes a rewarding journey. Wish list….I’m all in on a Blue Oil fern. Love the look! Checked off my list.. I got a B. Ferox. Trying to grow in normal house conditions. P. Tortum has entered the building, for the palm vibes. Look forward to your roast!

[@Houseplantygoodness]

@richardr5878 - That's some real plant wisdom! Slow growth makes for a rewarding journey. 🌱❤️

[@KateMeans]

I love your videos, this one included 😊. When watching your videos, I’m typically repotting or watering my plants. Because of this, I keep missing the names of these plants and have to get up and rewind. Would it be possible to put the names on the screen in the bottom corner as you’re talking about them?

[@Houseplantygoodness]

Awww glad you enjoy the videos, yes of course i can start doing that. for this video if it makes your life a bit easier the name also appears in a cutscene before i speak about it and also as the chapter name in the description 😊💚🌿

[@SusanBebout]

I am more of an Anthurium person- but I do have Philodendrons that I love. One of them is the Philo luxurians. Another videographer on KZbin (PlantFriendDownTheStreet) has said that it will grow great during the summer and plummet in the winter- no matter how much humidity or care it is given. I really hope not- because I love mine. It did not transport well. There was a delay by USPS and the leaves did badly. Fortunately, a new leaf grew well about a month after rehabbing in my 65-70% humidity tent with a low lamp for 12 hours a day. It is now sending out a new leaf again- about 3 months after I received it. It has a Philo's dream environment, so I'm guessing it doesn't grow rapidly. The leaves are beautiful. I did purchase a large one initially so hopefully it will survive the winter.

[@Houseplantygoodness]

@user-sl1uo9pf9s - That's so good to hear about your Philo Luxurians bouncing back! USPS delays are stressful. 😅 Your setup sounds like a plant dream. 🌿💚

[@wannabe_gardner5857]

I had a Matalicum aff that looks a lot like the one you have.

[@wannabe_gardner5857]

Dude! The cool thing about the papaliminum is that there are different forms. And some are absolutely breathtaking. Like the Ree gardens Pap. Or the Ralf Lynum. 🤩

[@Houseplantygoodness]

@wannabe_gardner5857 - You got me intrigued with the different forms of papillilaminum! 🤩 Also, great tips on Philo luxurians!

[@wannabe_gardner5857]

I've had a philo Luxurions and my #1 recommendation is to not cut it without air layering. Also. Semi hydro 😊

[@tanya.quintieri]

Aw, friend, talk to me. I got you on most of these. I know you prefer bigger plants, but they’ll adapt so much better to your environment.

[@StalkerNaturaliste]

I think in your care Burle Marx Flame will grow pretty fast. It respond very well to heat and it can take more sun than your average Monstera. Plus the juvenile leaves are so weird you will probably like it anyway.

[@Houseplantygoodness]

@TheFistYeah - Thanks for the heads up about the Burle Marx Flame, you are too kind, and Anthurium scherzerianum! 🌱thats the name I could not think of, and you are right, not that Easy to find, I see it once a year in my local plant shop. but true sooooo under rated.

[@janebrewer9326]

Great list! Thank you for sharing. I had a ride with the p. Luxurians. I got a small plant well rooted in moss from the FL equagenera. It took off, repotted it in a chunky mix, in a tera cotta rectangular planter. It did well, not a fast grower but every couple months a new leaf. It never rooted into the soil like other crawlers for me. I would recommend maybe a moss top dressing? Long story short it went dormant over winter. I repotted in spring and it completely died back and rotted. Now I have a large wet sick I am trying to reroot in water. Beware repotting and dry rot. I think it wanted more frequent watering, maybe treat it like a crawling anthurium if that makes sense. Good luck! It is a stunning plant when it’s happy.

[@Houseplantygoodness]

@janebrewer9326 - Oh no, the struggles with p. Luxurians! 😭 Thank you for sharing your experience; it'll help a lot!

[@sunnymelbourneplants]

I absolutely love my blue oil fern but it’s a super slow grower. But oh so gorgeous ❤

[@lindaedwards4632]

I have the Florida Beauty, so far it is growing very well for me. I have it in an east facing window where it gets morning sun until 1 ish 😀 Kaylee Ellen has the blue fern from the end of your video, it is gorgeous 💕

[@Houseplantygoodness]

@lindaedwards4632 - Ooh, Florida Beauty? that is good to know, hopefully one day I will have one too! 🌿 And that blue fern is just chef's kiss 😘

[@jopurchase]

Loved this. 😅 you pushed me over the edge to buy one of the anthuriums I was on the fence about. For Philodendron Luxurians, the key for me (in the UK) has been medium to lower light and not letting it dry out. Self-watering planter and pon have so far been the easiest way to maintain a consistent situation for them. They are really beautiful plants. Good luck with your wishlist plants 👌🏾🤞🏾

[@Houseplantygoodness]

@jopurchase - Yay for giving that Anthurium a home! 🥳 Your tips on Philodendron Luxurians are super helpful, thank you so much! 🌱

Hey hey hey, it is actually 2 philos growing close to each other, it is the Philo Dark lord with the red back and the Philo Painted lady with some older leaves going orange 😊💚🌿

[@daveoverstreet5148]

only *one* stinkin' Hoya, Memo??! 🤣 I have a friend growing the undulata, and her primary challenge (greenhouse conditions) was its initial very, very slow growth. But once it got going, she says it really took off. I didn't really appreciate the species until I saw hers in person. Enjoy your holiday, and cheers.

[@aplantprocess]

Your intros are great. Totally with you on the velvet leaves- I love them but they’re so problematic. Anthurium longissimilobum is amazing. So easy care and so dramatic. The Monstera Burle Marx Flame is growing quickly for me in LECA with ideal water and maximum nutrients and 12 hours next to a strongish grow light. Monstera subpinnata looks so nice in pics but mine never really grew well. Eventually I found spider mites on it was was like… I’ll treat you but once you’re healthy again, you have go. And lastly, your plants in the background look so incredible.

[@Houseplantygoodness]

@aplantprocess - Your Monstera Burle Marx Flame seems like it's living the good life. 😎 Sorry to hear about your Monstera subpinnata though. 😔 Aww thank you, they have all been growing super nice this summer.

[@Prsnckty]

Hi Memo! I am also intrigued by the palm-like plants in this list, but I told myself I won't get more plants until I can part ways with some in my collection. I have two of the plants in your list -- the Philodendron luxurians, and the Monstera Burle Marx Flame. The luxurians has been such a pain. I got it from Tropicals Plants (Ecuador) early in the year (Feb?) and has been struggling ever since. It does have two leaves now, but is in no shape to be displayed (it is currently in a rehab tent). The Burle Marx Flame however is one of my pride and joy. Slower growth (about a leaf a month), but very consistent and predictable with giving new leaves! I started with a two leaf mid-cut, with a leaf as big as my thumb, back in January. It now has seven new leaves, with the latest leaf having two slits (fenestrations? pinnations?), and a new leaf on the way! I am more than happy to recommend that plant to other people. I hope you get one soon, and I look forward to seeing how it grows in your conservatory!

[@gypsylee333]

I definitely want one if I can find a good deal. I don't have room for a monstera deliciosa right now anyway. The flame seems much smaller.

Whats the name of that plant behind you on top shelf with the red orange back on the leaves? Beautiful
