my houseplant ✨wishlist✨ right now

[@kwiatekmasta6]

Antoro Velvet leaves are soft and fluffy. Mine is very thirsty and I have only 3 leaves on her right now. I’m waiting for growing season with all of my 150+ 🪴 😅 I have so many still on my wishlist but i don’t have more space🙈 Love from German Alps 💚

[@insunavox]

I second that. ) has much softer hairs than the Jacklyn's. and the leaves are soft and bendy. Anthoro is more challenging in my experience - more senstive to underwatering. Mine is just a stump atm 😅i'm in process of preparing it for transfer to semi-hydro as I can't keep u with it.

[@GoodGrowing]

oooh thanks for the advice!

[@PlantyTiff]

The Hoya Latifolia Snow Queen is my absolute top favorite plant in my collection period lol obsessed with her 💖💖

[@GoodGrowing]

omg you're making me want it even more!!

[@itscinna5540]

A variegated Polyneura was on my 2024 wishlist, I initially wanted an outer but now I think I’d prefer an inner!

[@GoodGrowing]

I don't think you could go wrong with either!! they're both so gorgeous!

[@melmac5173]

I have two of the alocasia’s you’re lusting after. Warning the Antoro velvet and the Infernalis are both challenging. Prepare to keep them in your cabinet. The Begonia burkillii as well is a terrarium begonia. Needs high humidity. The beauties are never easy.

[@GoodGrowing]

ooh thanks for the tips!!

[@vicky3792]

Just a warning on the Alocasia Antoro velvet. Spider mite magnets and they don’t acclimate well. Mine immediately died back to the stump and so did the one at the rare plant nursery I got it from so not just me. Mine has bounced back and has tons of leaves but much smaller. Good luck.

[@ThatGirlShelbyy]

Yeah my antoro velvet is way more picky than my other alocasias 😢

[@Anna_Mirl]

I know it's a bad idea watching that video 😂😂😂 but your taste in plants is just 🔥💯

[@GoodGrowing]

haha sorry not sorry! but thanks 😉

[@briteddy9759]

I should not be watching videos like this in January. The weather is not such that I want to transport a plant home, but oh, these plants are so tempting!

[@GoodGrowing]

ugh I know sorry! Even filming this video, I've been so tempted to buy things!

[@IngedeBeer-o9w]

I've been waiting for your list 😂🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@eja5799]

your P. Glorious is still my own favorite

[@GoodGrowing]

I mean I can't blame you! I'm obsessed with it too

[@MK-dn1ku]

The Antoro velvet just hates life in general

[@GoodGrowing]

oh no!! that doesn't sound good! They're so pretty though!

[@Psionicbomb]

Finally the wishlist!!

[@Ilovehellokitty12341]

Omg so funny I have all these begonia on my wishlist too 😆 begonia luxurians is another if you haven’t seen it! So pretty they look like trees when bigger 😍

[@GoodGrowing]

omg woahhh those are so cool! adding that one to the list too! Hopefully we can both get our begonias this year 🤞

[@Ilovehellokitty12341]

@ might be able to find seeds of them! That’s how one of my friends grew hers there still small but so cute! Thank you I hope we do too 🤞🌱 I love begonias those have been a favorite for a few years I finally got a my begonia red kiss and sinbad to bloom right now never been able to do that 🥹

[@tonybrehm8483]

Anthurium "Red Spider" is definitely interesting!

[@GoodGrowing]

oooh just googled that and omg it's gorgeous!!

[@islein]

I really want the alocasia scalprum👀

[@GoodGrowing]

ooh yeah the scalprum is a really cool one!

[@PlantedinPlatinum]

The Mayari has been on my wishlist forever too 😂 I need to sort out my Scindapsus before I get anymore though - they all need poles 😅

[@GoodGrowing]

I don’t grow any of mine on poles… maybe I should start 😅

[@Wyvernn2000]

If y’all go Palmstreet there, I got a 2 or 3 leaf cutting of the scin mayari for $25 from a small seller👀

[@GoodGrowing]

palmstreet doesn't have a selling platform in the UK... I think I might be lucky there because it seems dangerous how much gets sold!

[@Uzma888]

Love your videos, Emma. I’m pretty new to Alocasia collecting and I find them quite difficult. Do you have a video on Alocasia care/ resolving issues? Would love your advice so I can keep these beautiful plants.

[@GoodGrowing]

aww thanks 🥰 I don't really have any general alocasia videos but I've got more specific ones on the amazonica, dragon scale/silver dragon, & black velvet ones

[@Uzma888]

@ Thank you, Emma. I’m a huge fan of yours and will search for those videos. Hope to see you at the next plant swap. Keep the videos coming - I think we all benefit from seeing your beautiful collection in winter! 🙂

[@kimsplants]

I just saw that downtown plantclub also sells the Antoro Velvet, for sale right now!😏

[@GoodGrowing]

ugh I know they do!!! I have a basket of plants I'd love to get from them now... very very tempting

[@kimsplants]

@ oh girl same.. 😅 ✨ treat yoself ✨

[@Purrs_and_plants]

Your Thai is large form, they just grow slightly slower. I’m sure you will get mature leaves in another yr or so!! At least thats what I’m telling myself hehe x

[@GoodGrowing]

I mean it's taken 1000 years to even get my thai to the place it's at now.. so maybe 1000 more and I'll have big split leaves 😅

[@positivemind5163]

begonia snow capped😃

[@GoodGrowing]

ooh yes!! they're gorgeous!! I've got one and it's been super easy to grow as well!

[@MK-dn1ku]

Maybe some of your german patreons could send you some ? The Begonia Burkiili is about 15 pounds here

[@GoodGrowing]

omg what!!! I'll have to ask around come spring when it's not so cold out! thanks for the tip!

[@Mandi_Hui]

I love to get into begonia’s they are pretty the rare ones. But some do need more humidity. I am not into the common cane begonia ones. Maybe i will if i get a small glass mini greenhouse that i can put on a table. The Hoya Latifolia is similar to the Hoya Sarawak. Which i like the Sarawak more. I like to require more rare Sansevieria’s this year low maintenance plants. The only Hoya i want to have on my top list is the Wilbur Graves, Mathilde Variegated, Obovata Splash, Hypolasia after seeing it on Wildfern’s Channel the veining on the leaves looks so amazing and narrow leaves too. Also Hoya Argentea Princess after seeing it on Ana with Plants she has amazing Hoya’s.

[@GoodGrowing]

ooh that's a great wishlist!! I hope you're able to get some this year 🤞

[@Mandi_Hui]

The Wilbur Graves and Obovata Splash which you already ticked off my wishlist 😊when we can trade.

[@7sins_of_life]

If you're into cool begonia maybe look up begonia daun hitam - absolutely gorgeous and I usually don't like begonia.

[@GoodGrowing]

oooh yeah those are gorgeous!!

[@VictoriaPL]

‘Unless someone smuggles one into the UK…’. Don't tempt me Emma! I could trade you for a rooted sarcophylla cutting. 😂😂😂😂

[@GoodGrowing]

hehe ugh I so wish we could make that trade!

[@KatySmith-l5r]

Botanicaz has been closed for around a year now. One day I drove by and they vanished.😕

[@GoodGrowing]

Omg I didn’t know! That’s sad… probs makes their begonias even more rare too 🙃

[@tonybrehm8483]

@@GoodGrowing they're still on Etsy, so the chance is there!

[@JennaMarrocco]

My calathea network actually hates me and I hate it

[@GoodGrowing]

oh nooo 🫣

[@Babz595]

I was so mad when I heard they can buy Doc Block anthuriums in chain stores like Home Depot, our equivalent would be walking into B&Q and finding one, imagine 🤣

[@tonybezanson9625]

I got 2 doriyaki, and mint and aurea monstera, from home depot here in Nova Scotia

[@Babz595]

In Nova Scotia? That’s wild. Even garden centres in the UK don’t really carry anything more specialist

[@GoodGrowing]

yeah it's really not fair is it...

[@plant_bonkers]

Hey I have snow queen 😉

[@GoodGrowing]

Oooooooooh!

[@plant_bonkers]

@@GoodGrowingwill bring you cutting to London swaps 😉

[@kateo5846]

The scindapsus tricolor is a really slow/poor grower for me. Haven't had issues with any other scindapsus. mostly grow them in semi hydro.... But the tricolor is so annoying. I looked online for a healthy looking mature version someone had grown and couldn't find one. I think there's a reason 😂

[@GoodGrowing]

ugh that is not promising!

[@hanstera_deliciosa]

Although you aren’t the best influence… I truly enjoy your personality and love of plants!😉 Happy New Year Emma! I’m going to go wash my eyes out with soap. 🧼 🤪

[@GoodGrowing]

haha I know sorry!!! but also look at these gorgeous plants hehe 😉

[@hanstera_deliciosa]

@@GoodGrowing 😈

[@tinapomfrey5412]

But Emma, you have a large-form Monstera; your Thai Constellation...unless you don't have it anymore...I know you said the variegation was so-so.

[@GoodGrowing]

I suppose so yeah! It's just been such a slow grower and I want the big holes & splits!!

[@tinapomfrey5412]

@GoodGrowing my Thai grows pretty fast, so sorry you aren't in the States, I would give you a cutting when the time comes to prop. Praying that your folks are safe from the fires in LA. The damage is shocking...and so scary.
