My 2021 Houseplant Wishlist

[@ErrickaHager]

Yassss to “houseplants shouldn’t only be for the rich” 🤗

[@ohboyitstara]

Supply & demand and price spikes due to the pandemic are one thing. Opportunistic price gouging and gentrification is another issue entirely. Really curious to hear your thoughts on that so yes please make a video!

[@shannonhergert4836]

Every plant is so far out of my budget right now. I can’t resist anything variegated. My wishlist just grew after watching this video.

[@SJ-SOLO]

Common houseplants is the way to go!! Its almost a game I make with myself: find the best looking or random variagation on a common houseplant. Prices are ridiculous. I got my cebu blue at walmart for under 20 and I saw the same size pot auctioning on Steve's leaves for over 100. Like, what?!?

[@sammalandra-myers3030]

Just wanted to say that I love the way you’re able to relate to needing to sell your plants. A lot of the time I feel like the people talking about rare plants have never had that kind of hardship, or at least act as if they haven’t, and I really appreciate you being open about the struggle that’s sooooooo common 💚💚 ily also your eyebrows are lookin amazing

[@GoblinPrincessKyo]

I don't have the money for any of my wishlist plants either lol Everything is just way too expensive now to buy online. Luckily in Scotland plants in shops are still cheap, but of course there's less chance of finding more uncommon plants in shops. I wish you luck in finding all your wishlist plants!

[@m3ount973]

Same here north east UK, but how many dracena & succulents can you buy before it gets boring? Haha you have Morrison's in Scotland? I've found lots of good buys this year Banana plant musa Tropicana 30cm £3 - it's 3ft 8weeks later! 5ft yukka2 trunk £20 , alocasia zebrina 120cm (2 bulb pot) £12!!! Oh and Sainsbury's I just got a 50cm red imperial philodendron for £5 was £12 full price😮 Definitely worth checking out the supermarkets believe it or not 😁

[@GoblinPrincessKyo]

@@m3ount973 Yeah i've found a couple of beauties particularly in marks & spencers, they seem to get in some less common houseplants these days. My most recent supermarket find was a giant Magic Star for only a few quid in a beautiful ceramic pot and a big Staghorn fern that was only 3 quid again in a lovely ceramic pot with wooden legs, picked up a matching pot with a crinkle birdnest fern too so they look nice together. Supermarkets are defo getting better these days with not just having the usual pothos, tineke rubber trees by the hundreds, alocasia pollys, snake plants and monsteras lol

[@maggiecarroll8997]

i bought a florida ghost at an already UNREAL PRICE and the guy casually was like “oh btw one of the leaves has slight variegation but whatever” and seriously downplayed it so when it arrived and like four had creamy sections and light green patches i was like 👀 and then the newest leaf hardened and there’s moooore creaminess and im so excitedddd

[@plantwithroos]

Oohhh that sounds awesome! Do you have insta? Would love to see !

[@maggiecarroll8997]

Yoga and Plant With Roos i unfortunately do not have a plant instagram but i can assure you she’s quite beautiful lol

[@NocturnalButterfly]

Reminder set!! WOOHOOOO!!! 🌱🎉

[@mickiem6833]

Love your look today; great vibe for you! I'm glad for a huge variety of plants and I would be sad if we took away everything over say $50. What kind of variety would be left? It's good for the hobby to have a big, fat, juicy selection. It's sad if you have a $300 taste if you have a $30 wallet. But then when you are able to obtain those plants, they are all the more special. There are plenty of wonderful $10 plants to satisfy your plant needs. But why limit our hobby? [I'm not directing this at you, Ashley! I'm responding to some of the comments left here]

[@growitright9945]

You: entering the video hoping you own a plant on her wishlist Ashley: continues to speak planty gibberish

[@PlantingAshley]

Grow It Right 😂😂

[@frida7664]

I accidentally got a Hoya heuschkeliana variegata. a cutting with like 6 leaves får $15. i got into hoyas about 6 months ago so i didnt know it was a catch ;D just got two from my wishlist. hoya caudata and hoya pubicorolla black dragon ;O

[@plantwithroos]

Oooooohhhh that's awesome! Still looking for that one, it's very expensive here in Europe, hard to find!

[@oliverblackhall]

I came in around February. Lovely plants!

[@gracebaugher1829]

I have a philodendron hederaceum variegata (it’s got great variegation) that I’d be happy to trade you a good sized cutting of if you’re interested!

[@stacil2351]

Ummm, I would like to trade for some var hl! I have some and for her I would spare but want some more! Lol. [e-mail]

[@PlantingAshley]

Yeah totally please dm me on instagram!

[@leaftheraccoon]

look at mercari for the variegated philo hedecareum! I got one for 25$ from a good seller :) she lists pretty frequently, but she'll also make one for you if you ask- shes pretty much the only one selling those on there so if you look it up you'll find em pretty easy.

[@coqui_tasha]

Awesome video. My wishlist is in pain!!! Wish you a swift recovery from the bite! 💚

[@PlantingAshley]

Thanks bb 🥰

[@yunfanzhang7140]

Wait yes I am confused I was pretty sure Ilsemanii is like your most featured plant that you own. What happened?

[@kellyfairbrother9978]

I grow as many plants from seeds as possible to save $ but I'm feeling that "end of the growing season" urgency to buy established plants asap. P.S. It would be neat to do a video on plants with silver/reflective leaves, or those with pink foliage. I have been daydreaming about those two leaf colors this year thanks to your channel!!

[@knitwit2871]

I have wanted a pink princess for a while but the prices are INSANE so I am just buying a single leaf cutting. Even that is 90$ which is fucking bonkers. I would rather get one on Gabriela's but I am NEVER fast enough.

[@m.edwards9849]

$90 american dollars for one leaf!!!! that is insane!!! i live in australia and while 4 leaf manjula pothos goes for $95, i usually see 8 inch pots of pink princess for about $20-$30 aud ($14-$21 usd)

[@knitwit2871]

@@m.edwards9849 yupp those are the prices right now! It's crazy how plants are different everywhere. Here you could get manjula for a couple bucks but pink princess is hard to find. Its actually just the price, you can find them but the prices are skyrocketing.

[@m.edwards9849]

@@knitwit2871 really sad that a lot of sellers are taking advantage of this situation. i don't blame all of them, they need to make a profit on whatever they paid too, but some of these prices are just extortion.

[@knitwit2871]

@@m.edwards9849 oh I know. Thats what sucks because you dont know how long it will be till these prcies go down. & buying these pp online is next to impossible I have tried multiple times. So now I have to go buy a single leaf & pay i dont fuck it up.

[@christinakara278]

The 1st plant on my personal wishlist would be one I can trace back to the seeds.. We need oecological seals, I d be glad to pay more if I can have a good conscience 🌸

[@reneehebblewhite7995]

Hoya villosa is amazing! I got one about a month ago and it’s so FUZZY!

[@jamtea388]

yay hoyas!!

[@jardineriaclirs]

I love your videos ,.😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 But videos with your plants

[@LydiaStormx]

I’ve been looking for a Hoya Heuschkeliana Variegata for at least a whole year. It’s hard because my plant budget for cuttings is $30, and I find cuttings for like $90-$150. I’m too scared to spend alot on a cutting bc I’m broke as heck and might just kill it. I wish you luck finding one!

[@whenidiewatermyplants1655]

I went to peace love and happiness club and their plants are literally infested with spider mites!!!! Always check your plants before buying.

[@whenidiewatermyplants1655]

@KC Vlogs no not recently but I did order from them and I was super underwhelmed with what I got. Unrooted cuttings basically.

[@whenidiewatermyplants1655]

@KC Vlogs ofc! I also make tiktoks and I posted a video of when I got them, it was a while ago but @whenidiewatermyplants. Packaging was great but cuttings weren’t

[@martam5793]

Bought my albo monstera for 65€ in Latvia. Hope you feel better❤️

[@alona270]

I see a few new ones for mine, thanks😂 I hope you’re feeling better with the bite! You look a lot better :)

[@jerrysgarden6579]

Hi Ashley!!!!!

[@freya-louise6669]

There are so many plants I would love but I have no other safe places to put them where my animals can’t get them also have a north facing window so not much light

[@TatesPlants]

Just messaged my friend who lives in australia and she said the ilsemanii are all over etsy there 😭😭😭😭 Why is teleportation not a thing yet

[@plantwithroos]

But then they dont get anything else with their very strict importing laws! 👀😅❤️

[@jacksjungle1214]

HOLY SHIT 7,000 DOLLARS!!!!!!

[@crimssonbonsai6020]

Very informative thank's you're gorgeous by the way.

[@lowkeycallipse]

love these videos!! also your hair is GORGEOUS 🥺❤️

[@r3nny14]

I loooove your nails

[@annareginasarahresurreccio7021]

The plant behind u is one of my wishlist plant.. Philodendron ‘Paraiso Verde’

[@Danielle-ie1li]

From the admin of the Hoya ID group on Facebook: globulosa is the official name and villosa is a synonym

[@ivkadoesthings5284]

Yass, finally!

[@AHolicPole]

500??? seriously? prices have gone up also in finland, but i think someone would sell it at least 200

[@stacil2351]

I have a Variegated HL if you want to trade!

[@PlantingAshley]

Yes totally! Message me on instagram!

[@stacil2351]

I dont have instagram 😩 email me? [e-mail]

When she says “the January stuff”, what is she referring to? I’ve heard it mentioned a few times now and I’m just curious. 😮 Im a relatively new subscriber.

Hi

[@sugarspiceatn1]

Hey 👋 you should have recorded 17 more seconds lol 😆 😂 🤣 😜 xx

[@chrystalsabin4091]

🙄🙃🤗🤤😎

[@jotv7224]

for big business and big time sellers its probably not a good idea to charge a lot for easily propagated plants even if supply is currently on the low side. for small time sellers or plant collectors who sell sometimes i think its fine for these people to charge whatever they want. you have to be an educated buyer for everything in this world. if you over pay for something thats your fault. if someone is charging a lot for something ask why ( sometimes reasoning is pretty just) or buy from someone else.

[@erinma981]

So....I’d like to know what your favorite NON-RARE house plant is???

[@PlantingAshley]

These plants arent necessarily rare! Most of them are easy to get a hold of, just expensive :) but i have made a common favorites list before which you can go watch, and string of hearts is def my favorite common hp rightnow! ^-^
