Ya'll who got them cheap, make cuttings, give them away. The more people prop and trade, the more the prices come down. C'mon, let's be plant pirates. I propagate everything, and don't charge for anything. I'll trade for some pots or ferts or soil, and make more plants.

I agree on plant prices and it is insane to pay a thousand or even hundreds on a plant, most of these plants have maybe 2 leaves.

really large begonias make a very dramatic statement plant, that isn't what most people have though, they have a sad plant with a couple leaves. i like buying really small plants for a couple bucks and growing them out, I guess i'm more of a grower than collector? I don't know!

I think that prices and demand for Pink Princess will be falling since so many people seem to have bought one and it reverted. Who wants to spend a lot of $ on a pink plant that will likely become not pink? Your Pink Princess is one of the most pink that I've seen.

[@meikahidenori]

Sounds like a good time to get one. Sometimes when people say reverted it's because they couldn't give the plant adequate conditions or just grew impatient waiting on a plant with a rare genetic mutation to suprise them. If you buy them instead with the mind set that the varigation is like a 'suprise' rather than a defining feature you tend to he happier with said plant. Less disappointment that way.

[@WoodlandT]

If the PPP was $25 & had excellent variegation, I’d consider buying one. I find 90% of them downright ugly. So I definitely wouldn’t risk much more than $20 on one. I did just buy a little syngonium ‘pink splash.’ It was affordable & is super cute. I’m excited to see it grow

[@moiraslater8526]

There about $25 in Australia

[@greymomma]

That is the way things were in the past. You're attitude of "It doesn't appeal to me, but that plant looks very nice". It was before this "I've got to get the newest plant trend!!" that has push the prices to the sky! Don't change your attitude! Yours is an attitude that a plant person should have. Get what appeals to you! What's attractive to you or what makes you interested in learning how to care for it! Tests your skills! Plants shouldn't be trends

[@meikahidenori]

They may look ugly but I call mine my 'suprise' plant as despise buying a brown one that was cheap and considered ugly when I bought it, it throws out pink variations in the leaves now and then (i got mine $10 AU as it was listed as an ugly reverted... it's very pink now it's grown out.) I have a bad habbit of saving supermarket over watered plants and nursing them back to health or just unwanted ugly plants stores have cheap because they don't look aesthetically pleasing. Be amazed how much more rewarding they are than buying a 'perfect' plant when they do well and return your efforts with stunning foliage once they're used to your conditions.

Great info! A couple of months ago, I purchased a small "reverted PPP" from my local plant group for $10 (would not have paid more). Lots of people in my group have brought the pink back out by chopping and propping and/or using grow lights, so I think that some of the ones sold as "reverted" are not truly reverted (though not always the case). The newest leaf has some specks of lighter color that give me hope! If not, I still enjoy reddish climbing philodendrons. 🤷‍♂️

This is a great video. Love this. I’d love more videos like this on your opinions on the current plant market. I really don’t get the hype on some of these expensive plants. I think your regular Monstera deliciosa is better than some of the variegated forms. I definitely agree with you on your choices. I remember when the Begonia maculata was that plant everyone’s nan had in the 70s/80s and then became “uncool”. It’s not so expensive in the UK but has definitely become popular again. I do believe it has a lot going for it as a house plant. I got mine from a cutting from a friend who had a giant one. They are incredibly easy to propagate too. I’m hoping the market starts to settle down as some plants are demanding ridiculous prices. We should all be able to grow beautiful plants in our homes without having to sell a kidney.

I guess I've been very lucky with my albo Monstera deliciosa. I love them! Started out with two one leaf cuttings. One of them got 11 new leaves within 16 months (the newest ones are the length of my forearm with tons of fenestration), the other one got badly injured by thrips, but still managed to regain strength and put out about 7 or 8 leaves in the same period. Now I have five albo plants and none have less than 6 leaves. Two of them are about 50% white through out, so I'm happy for sure! Lots of light helped me. The only one making a fuss is my Thai constellation. That one grows soo slow, about 2-3 leaves a year. And well, thrips absolutely love my variegated monsteras so it's a constant battle.

This video was so interesting!! I have to add- I am a brand new plant mama, and I fell in love with the pink princess that the plant shop had displayed up at the register…. Until I read the price tag of $500!!! I had also grabbed a 4’ ish pothos trained to grow up a moss pole and without looking at the price nor wondering if it was something a little special with its gorgeous silver leaves compared to alll of the others with green leaves :) I didn’t realize I had chosen a $250 silver satin exotica. Oh well lol, I love it and am so glad I didn’t think to check the price before bringing it up to the checkout because I surely would not have been able to bring myself to spend that much on one plant if I had known the price ahead of time! So far I am so so happy with my pothos, money plant, and monstera. I also grabbed a small potted house plant without realizing that it was in fact ANOTHER silver satin exotica😂😂😂 - apparently, I really really like the way that particular plant looks! So hopefully I continue to have good luck with my first plant babies! I can’t wait to fill my new (first) home with house plants!! New subscriber here!! -Nora
