My Rare Houseplant Wishlist for 2022!

[@amelie9271]

I’m in a few groups with LariAnn Garner and she has made some amazing hybrids, probably the most popular being Alocasia Regal Shields. 💚

[@leahadams369]

does she have an instagram account at all?! her creations are so beautiful

[@amelie9271]

@@leahadams369 I’m not sure. I haven’t looked for her on IG. It’s possible though!

[@danieldow3094]

I'll have to learn more about her, I tell you what though, I LOVE regal shields, beautiful plant, nice growth habit and even relatively forgiving as far as alocasia go.

[@amelie9271]

@@danieldow3094 probably one of the most forgiving of all the Alocasia I own. It’s extremely resilient and I just think the satin-y finish (from the black velvet) on the classic Alo leaf is beautiful.

[@spoochymcgoo1616]

Okay. My mom passed away in 2016 of MND. When I was a little girl, we were poor and my mom was a notorious plant beggar, pincher, divider, propagator. She had the most beautiful pale lilac old-fashioned trailing petunia in flowering all year round in a lovely old ceramic pitcher growing in an E. facing window. In the mornings, the light would come in through that plant and my mom would ask me to come in and admire it with her. I think she was just trying to get me to be quiet and sit still to let my little brothers sleep. Anyway, since then, I've been trying to reproduce a trailing type petunia in my house. I have a good window for it now and have water propagated a few candidates I found at the garden store recently. Fingers crossed.

[@lydiakoutrouditsou8514]

After I managed to cross of A.veitchii and A.vittarifolium off my whishlist in 2021, my wish for 2022 is to see my existing plants grow healthy! Keep showing us what you come across tho!

[@threesixbravo2334]

Kaylee, on the royalties on the gloriosum hybrid, consider the concept of exhaustion of rights under intellectual property law.

[@grat2010]

Nothing on my wishlist but I do love when you share your wishlists. It let's me know about plants I didn't even know existed and I'm happier for it.

[@vickikeats6008]

Kaylee you can get black maranta in the UK. Mella's jungle sometimes has them. She sells at a really reasonable price too!

[@doingitwelldotbiz]

You're so lovely and encouraging! And that eye shadow is amazing. Once I'm done catching up here, I'm absolutely going to binge watch all your beauty content. You're a plant person after my own heart ❤

[@SamanthaBuckman]

My #1 wishlist plant is a Philodendron Silver Sword! So beautiful and something I want soooooo badly!

[@sarahschlegel2049]

My wish list actually does not have a plant on it.... but it does have something for my plants, a small greenhouse for my plants. An oasis where I can spend time with the ones I have in order to enjoy new ones brought in. I'm not really a "rare" collector even though I enjoy seeing what's out there. My budget is common to semi uncommon... but everyone is loved. Thank you Kaylee Ellen for showing us the beautiful rare plants out there!

[@loes6839]

My current wishlist is mostly common plants or that are becoming more common. So I've been into this plant hobby more seriously in the past year or so. I mostly have common plants as I just don't want to spend that kind of money yet (it's my first winter with a bigger collection). I also love getting really tiny cuttings and growing them out. So most of the time I get them through marketplace and fb groups for a couple of euro's. I believe thr most expensive one was 20 euro for quite a big hoya -Dischidia ovata (watermeloen) -Philodendron jose buono -Philodendron ring of fire/prince of orange -Philodendron pink princess -Philodendron hederaceum lemon lime -Maranta silver splash/maranta black -Monstera thai constellation -Peperomia japonica

[@WaitingGamePlayer]

I am a long year orchid lover. FYI, there are thousands of fantastic orchid hybrids, which have taken ages to creat. Some orchids are growing soooo slowly that it take decades to creat some new crossing with persued characters. Never have I ever heard of such kind of contract. The degree of human's greed just keep making new records!!! BTW, there were no such thing about Patents even for vaccine development until the 70's , when in the US everything has gotten commercialized... In the 40's or 50's, when a doctor developed a new vaccine (like Jonas Salk who has developped the vaccine against polio). No doctor or company during that time would ever come to the idea of making tons of money out of it!!! They did it because they wanted to solve problems or bring pleasure to the whole human beings! And that's exatly why we are STILL in the pandemic! because the very most of countries are not allowed to produce the covid vaccine, in order to make sure that some western medical companies keeping getting more and more and more money?

[@Diyjungle]

Ooooo I love the maranta. I have a silver band on my wish list! I also just want to say that I am glad I found your videos and your community. I've binge watched your whole channel and it seems like you've had some up and downs and a rough go from time to time. I am sorry for that. For what it's worth, there are plenty of us that really appreciate you. Your mental health video had me in tears, literally, it was so refreshing to see someone who cares so much and focused on validating her audience. I just wanted to say thanks for that. Also I'm glad you are still doing the purple eyes... looks fantastic!

[@KayleeEllenOfficial]

Thank you so much for your kind words they are truly appreciated! Welcome to my channel ❤

[@mightiestmouse8833]

@@KayleeEllenOfficial Costa farms is the retailer of the black maranta in the US. I've had that one on my wishlist FOREVER! It' so pretty

[@apieceofcoffee]

I can't believe I have something that's on your wishlist, that never happens! I love my Maranta Black, it's so gorgeous and different. The only place I've found them is through private sellers and very seldomly too. Bought mine as a 2 leaf cutting for low triple digits at the time.

[@garysteven615]

Good luck on your list. I could listen to you all day!

[@fconsultantventure2322]

Love the glowing peachy color and the purple eye shadow.

[@chantelehanley4411]

I managed to score a wish list plant the other day 😊 I picked up a philodendron Gigas from Bunnings (our big box store) in Australia for only $36. I had to share as I love a good price too

[@hienduong2233]

My partner and I managed to find some sodiroi and brandtianum there too! We’re in Melbourne btw

[@chloekrause5984]

This purple eye makeup. And the hair. Your background. Girl. Hitting it on point!

[@fabulously695]

I’m obsessed with philadendron orange princess, only found out about it a week ago, it’s like prince of orange in colour, but splotchy like a pink princess and it doesn’t fade to green by the look of it. Never seen it for sale ever

[@mathilda6763]

TBH I don't have a wish list right now. The Plants that I really, really wanted (Monstera esqueleto and Thai Constellation for example), I have gotten at this point. There's a few I'd get when there was a really nice big specimen coming my way, like with the variegated Epipremnum or Amydrium Medium (which is pretty difficult tbh... it'S just sending out runners, no leaves and it's in a very humid situation), but overall, for now I want to grow out what I have for now. I wouldnT' say I am on a No-Buy because that makes me want to actually buy things, but for now I am pretty happy with my plants.

[@rencoat3075]

“Oooo shiny” oh my gosh I felt that!!! Same same

[@ohitsmorg]

Will never not be obsessed with your beachy blonde hair! Great video as always.

[@jmduerner367]

Some on my wishlist: Spathiphyllum Picasso Scindapsus Luciens Scindapsus Tattoo Variegated hastatum "silver sword" Variegated Peru Philo. Snowdrift Philo. Gigantium Blizzard Philo. Rui Sub Wend Imbe variegated I love hearing wishlists! The chance of learning a new plant or version of a plant you have already is amazing. My list is way longer than this and ever-growing! Thank you for sharing your wishlist, Kaylee! I added a few of these to mine :)

[@caitlinj8754]

You've chosen lovely plants! My wishlist plants are the hoya silver dollar and hoya gsp 7240. Oh! And orchids!!!

[@brittewater]

Dude, the colour selection of your lights...chef's kiss. At the moment, I'm trying to bulk up on the plants I already have. I just bought another marble queen and I plan on getting another Florida Ghost and maybe a few others.

[@plantseveryinch9024]

Love them all that Monstera monster is AMAZING!! And the serendipity I must have 😍💚🪴🌿🌱💯❣

[@9191Mel]

I adore the monstera miracle! 😍 What a beauty. Not so much the white monstera though, that one's not my cup of tea. 😅 As for my wish list, at the top currently is Philodendron Billietiae, Philodendron Tortum, Anthurium Vittarifolium, Anthurium Clarinervium, Rhipsalis Paradoxa and Selenicereus chrysocardium 😊 (A fellow Geordie here by the way and constantly in awe and proud of how much you have grown your planty passion and business! 😌🌿)

[@missredhood83]

Can't wait to see what you end up getting this year! The variegated golden dragon's are beautiful! I am planning to collect more Homalomena's this year; I am obsessed with my Maggie. Im also really enjoying growing Anthurium's from seed in the last few months. Its taught me patience and I love seeing how different they turn out

[@AwassenaarXDA]

Yes to Homalomena! Love the Maggie and wish there were more varieties available in my country

[@XxXfoxspiritXxX]

Its so interesting to learn about your wishlist, you always introduce me to completly new plants. For my wishlist honestly I just want to continue collecting different types of pothos and to try out growing pelargonium (not because of the blooms, even tho they are pretty, but because of the interesting leaf shapes and colors).

[@filippa1434]

Im a huge Alocasia fan. On my wishlist is the Dragon Scale, Black Velvet and apparently now Serendipity. But also maybe a P. Gloriosum

[@sarahholba7182]

I love my Gloriosum. It’s a baby plant but it just has been so fun to watch grow!

[@mabonniejungle....7851]

WOW Kaylee, your make up is yes always on point, but that eye look is fire...🔥 Hope you are feeling better, sending you all the good vibes....stay fierce queen 👑 Oh and my wishlist consists of 3 a Philodendron Fibraecataphyllum, love those big ears and oooh so pillowy. An Anthurium Pallidiflorum, I adore my Anthurium Pendens, now I need the velvety one to pair with her on my bedroom fireplace. In an addition to my list il be 100% hunting for a nice Hoya Rebecca (for my eldest daughter Rebecca. She's looking to buy her first home this yr, and Iwant to give her something special. Lol she already went 'shopping' 🤣 in my plant room and I have about 30 cuttings propping for her !!) Thank you again Kaylee, not just for the planty content but all your open, honest and supportive videos on mental health, they have helped my younger daughter so much seeing, from someone other than her mum, Dr or therapist that there is a better, happier and brighter future just waiting out there for her. She no longer feels hopeless every day and you played a part in that...🤗❤

[@hobbithabits]

Aww that picture of Kunzo with his white monster is adorable. Hes actually registered this plant.

[@azplanted4339]

I actually didn’t have a wishlist until I saw the alocasia serendipity so pretty 🥰

[@anna_murawski]

Omg that red Congo! 😍 I also want a caramel marble but who doesn’t. I’m not into monsteras but that miracle is bloody lovely!!

[@MegMakesCrafts]

I know this video is a little older now but I was able to cross 2 plants off my wish list this year - Alocasia black velvet and Alocasia silver dragon. A lot of my wish list is made up of pretty common plants but I don’t order online and that makes it a scavenger hunt for new plants in town since we get the same things all the time! I would still like to get an Alocasia cuprea, a raven zz, and I’d like to maybe dip my toes into some more expensive plants this upcoming year and try purchasing online. 😊

[@brandonnoonan1862]

Love plants with 3 or more colours 😍😍😍 so want tricolour syngonium and tri confetti syngonium

[@CuteAsAButton555]

💚💚💚 Love the Red and Green Congo and all Monsteras 💚💚💚

[@amandagoodrich1035]

Don't have a concrete wishlist yet but I know I want an alocasia zebrina, philodendron gloriosum, Florida beauty, golden dragon, and a Thai constellation. Love seeing your wishlist updates. I'm so new to all this that I love hearing from someone much more knowledgeable in the rare plant world.

[@karatefishman]

the anthurium hype train stopped right in front of my face after shackling me unnoticed for months. SO im here and i casted an eye on the wendlingeri because of its amazing flower and long leaves. PLUS i just recently learned that anthurium start every new leaf very small and grow it large (because apparently im living underneath a rock. probably 10.), anyway they have thousands of really cool features. Thanks for the video!

[@orchids4256]

Everytime you make a new list I'm always just impressed with the amount of variety in the world of plants! The Red Moon and Golden Dragon were my favs (so far.) My wishlist 'big ticket' plants are P. Florida Ghost and Hoya Nicholsoniae New Guinea Ghost. The Florida Ghost has such a fun leaf shape, and the New Guinea Ghost is such an interesting color with almost lavendery sunstress.💜👻

[@storey662]

That monstera miracle is absolutely amazing.

[@User_1414b]

Current top 2 on my 2022 wishlist are philo splendid or splendid glorious 🥰 in intrigued by the black maranta though!

[@FA-ft9sq]

Garner is responsible for so many of the Alocasia cultivars that are available at mainstream stores so I'm glad she is trying out Philodendrons. Basically if you own any black stem or Regal shield Alocasias Alocasias you bought at places like Home Depot, you own a plant developed by Garner. She also developed the popular manta ray Alocasia. Totally worth it to give her money so she can develop even more aroid varieties in the future. Creating new varieties of aroids we love ain't cheap, hey!

[@beachpurls]

Wish list: your eye shadow, LOL, monstera white monster, monstera miracle, alocasia serendipty, the philo polypodoides (sp?)...oh and a hoya polyneura (still waiting after many years), and philo whipple way!! and I need to get another cardboard palm and fishtail palm...loved your video, very peaceful background vibe 💕💕

The black Maranta is also on my wishlist! There are right now two for sale in Germany, but at 400 and 600€. I got a M. cristata, Silver Band and Cat Moustache/NoID yesterday. Most other plants on my wishlist are rare-ish Calatheas, like the 'Electric Shock'. Pretty common in South America and SE Asia, but absolutely unobtainable in Europe.

[@marsf4883]

Hm the aglaonema pictum tricolor is still on my wishlist, still not super cheap and easy to find here in the States. Lovely wishlist! Those monsteras are super cool looking.

[@Rayxster]

The White Monster is really cool, I fell in love with it the moment Nishihata Kunzo posted a picture of it 😭

[@marcinkuta5833]

There is a video on here of a guy taking tour in Kunzo's greenhouses, featuring the white monster, that in all examples growing there is pale green rather than white, this picture of Kunzo holding massive white plant seems to be one off compared to actual stock.

[@hediyegundoganli8271]

Maranta and the Alosia super choice 👍

[@caughinthemilitary]

Time to grab a nice drink and put on this video. Edit: that last monstera is gorgeous! And I hate yellow variegation usually.

Top of my wishlist are the Florida Ghost and the Melanochrysum. I have a Florida Green and it is such a cool plant, like a dragon. It is never fussy. And the Melanochrysum is just stunning with those big velvet solar panels. I want to put it in a nice corner with its own growlight and let it go wild.
