I Used to buy expensive plants based on my own budget (which was small). After growing them together with other chep plants, I can confirm that there is no differences of happiness between growing expensive plants and cheap plants. So now I stop buying expensive plants. Only cheap plants and I am still so happy.

[@phytosexual]

Rare plant people hate me hahah

[@kikyo89976]

There's definitely some more expensive plants I am obsessed with but there's also some 5$ plants I'm obsessed with and I always try to get the baby versions of the expensive plants I love. My love for plants depends almost entirely on if the look of the plant appeals to me but some other factors are interest in growth pattern/ leaf shapes and veinstions, cool variegation patterns and honestly, I do find it super fun if you can manage to snag a "rare" plant but even then I'm only gonna get it if I can get a good deal on it. I literally got a Billietiae for $4.50 CAD and I'm JACKED about it. I think if you love a plant, get it. If you want it because other people have it, don't get it.

I can attest to moths' thirst for chaos as they've ruined my life at least 3 times now. They ransacked my gluten free baking flours in the pantry THROUGH THE BAGS, their caterpillars attacked my baby salad greens outside, then they ravaged my nocturnal moonflower. Once, I felt a tickle at my heart center during meditation; looked down, a moth flew out of my sports bra. Complete menaces.

About Caladiums. Many years ago, not in the Victorian time but way before you were born, Caladium was "IT" as the aquarium plant. Yes, they can grow submerged for about 3 months. Then you dig it out, store in almost dry soil mix until next growing cycle. Just sweet childhood memories.

[@jolus6678]

Pretty much all tropical plants were once deemed rare to people outside the tropics. And a lot of "rare" plants currently are actually quite easy to propagate. In my area you can find black zz plants for example in the produce aisle of basically every single supermarket around, yet I've heard people in other areas refer to them as "rare". Even variegated alocasias, and philodendrons have begun to appear at big box stores in my area. Recently I bought two stunning Geogenanthus ciliatus at a Home depot and the look them up online to see them being sold as "rare" for four times the price as I paid.

Rarity is relative, which is why I don't buy into it.

[@deaconsmom2000]

I like three dollar peasantry. I won't be shamed by that; I'm descended from generations of peasants. Like me, these plants are built to take it: disease resistant, hardy, strong, reliable, adaptable, and all that good stuff. Anyway, Lowe's had the normal variety of Aspidistra elatior out with the bedding plants this year, also a Monrovia offering. They stopped me in my tracks with their succulent sheen and I live with the regret of not buying one that day because they were all gone when I went back. I strictly grow my Caladiums and coleus outside. My Caladiums are the 50 cents/10 bulb variety at the end of season Walmart clearance. I dig the tubers up every year and they hang in my laundry room in a lingerie bag until it's time to wake up. I also add to the number when I get a good deal. I also buy my taro roots in the produce section of my grocery store, when they're on sale. That's what I plant outside, again, no shame.

Now that it lives near a bright window it's flourishing, it's lush, it's gorgeous. Of course though... it waited until November to flower... so I'm not gonna see any colourful blooms any time soon because they just fall without getting much sun now (hopefully I'll get some next summer)

I’ll just comment as we go here - 1. Calissia and tradescantia are my FAVORITE! I hate how under rated they are. They got pretty big on the taplap but even then it was $30 a 6” pot or so.

I am a congregation of moths, but I prefer our proper group name, an eclipse of moths. Thank you as always for a hilarious and informative video! The vocabulary buffet is nearly as erotic as the macro shots. Here in zone 7b/8a of the NC piedmont, cast iron plants are perennials, and caladiums are an amazing annual. Hearing word that there is also now a perennial rex begonia for our zone. I grow flags and irises that came from my great-grandmother - I adore their foliage but not the cloying scent. The flags looooove the perpetual wet areas of the garden.

Yes! They do great indoors and you can perch them somewhere like a less contrived spider plant.

Affordable and giant don't mix since it takes resources and time to grow plants. I would recommend big box stores for relatively cheap plants in general.

They have the gorgeous big heart shaped leaves and verigation that isn’t unstable like a certain monstera. the best part is that they’re so cheap here in South FL!

[@katherinespencer2073]

"Put it in a container of water while your travel"....someone said to my mother getting ready to go away for winter. She had a geranium she grew that was in the local newspaper with her standing several steps up on a ladder & the plant was still a bit above her head, in beautiful bloom. So they got the huge tub that we used for making lots of sausage, in which all the different ground meats were mixed with garlic & spices after butchering. So like a rectangle kiddie pool about 1 meter by 2 meters. They put water into it in the sunroom & put the plants in it along with the prized geranium. As the sun shone into the room the water slowly evaporated, into the ceiling. The drywall eventually disintegrated from the moisture. When they got home, the plants had been smashed & the ceiling was now down ontop of everything in big messy crumbled sections. Their house had just recently been finished, much by themselves & my uncle, for a little over a million $$s not too far from a nice town. So it wasn't like "well we were thinking of painting or renovating anyway".

I feel like even if the plant wasn't that big and in a smaller container it would have rotted just sitting there. oof

Oh yay a fun and really informative, interesting video from Nick ! I had a walking iris years ago -it was a great houseplant... I got it from a Rutgers U. greenhouse plant sale ( lots of goodies) Neomarica is rarely available now in stores. Instead of following the “rare plant” demand I wish there were some growers who take chances on producing the more uncommon ones. Sigh... it all comes down to -of course -financial gain. Hey I was introduced to plant passion when I was 5. After chores were done my Granny would put peanut butter sandwiches in her smallish pocketbook and we would walk maybe 2 miles to the cemetery. It was an old one in Newark NJ... I loved it because there were wonderful sculptures, and especially the oval pictures of the dead embedded in the headstones. I digress.... after sitting on the steps of a wealthy monument we rested, and ate the sandwiches. Then oh fun...we’d walk around and after respectfully acknowledging the deceased, she would teach me to only take 3 small pieces of whatever caught he fancy growing in front of the headstone- but only from the back of the plant. No visible damage, and with 3, at least one would root. Geez she would almost fill that pocketbook....we didn’t go often, and her small garden was amazingly gorgeous. I now have a cemetery just down the road, but it’s all plastic flowers and doodads because at about 4 pm there is a herd of about 17 deer that come out and eat anything that grows. Apologies for the length of this, but seeing the clip of stealing the grave flowers made me remember and crack up!! Thanks again for showing a great selection of plants 🌿🌱🌻

@@phytosexual nooo you're great, I really like your personality. Imagine if everyone were the same, that'd be pretty boring right?

The dramatics in this video... I feel it. Yesterday, I repotted a Ruby Peperomia Cascade and I died a couple of times.

[@phytosexual]

I'm a naturally dramatic individual.

[@BUIND133]

This is first video I saw of yours. Your humour like 10/10! Love it!

Thank you!

Yay! Thank you for presenting Neomarica to a wider audience - they are my one of my favorite houseplants!! I've been propagating them for a few years and will start selling them next summer :D

[@phytosexual]

I don't think they go for much but I hope they become more popular for your sake!

[@ld4028]

OMG the “expensive annuals” comment has me dead. I see people buying Persian Shields on Etsy for $20-40, talking about “it’s a rare plant.” GIRL. NO. They are $3 every summer at Lowes smh

Your plant has achieved its final form! 😍 it covered the pot completely!

Very surprised walking iris is rare. I had one as a discarded house plant, dumped it on the outskirts of my garden, now 3 years later I have about 40 plants. They are so prolific I wonder if they might be invasive.

[@phytosexual]

They're not! I'm not sure if you misread the video title. It's not rare but definitely worth growing.

@@phytosexual not sure how I got the idea that it's not common from the watching video 🤣
