NEW! Trending Rare Plants More $Expensive and GORGEOUS Than Ever! Bangkok International Exotic

In this episode, we will explore all the exciting… New and trending rare plants as the global plant market experience a surge in demand and sudden spike in pricing. This is in thanks, to the many gorgeous varieties discovered - or bred into existence - by determined growers worldwide.
It is an exciting time to be a grower, seller, and collector.
The episode is broken down into 3 major parts… The pre-show, Aroids, and non-aroids.
The Pre-show is full of adrenaline rush as I race against time to film rare plants that were sold before opening day - completely depriving them off public eye.
Unsurprisingly, the star of this show is aroids, with new varieties of variegated monsteras making headlines and selling at record-breaking prices. We admire a plethora of variegated alocasias too gorgeous to ignore, countless philodendron hybrids, and of course the Anthurium - which is undeniably the top trending plant today.
Finally, we tour the non-aroids and revere in the magnificent diversity of the plant kingdom.

WOW! Thanks so much Sean for taking us to the show. I was especially glad you were able to film pre opening as we would have missed some rare beauties; thanks!

[@onlyplants]

Thanks for coming with!

[@brocktoon8]

Oh wow! For me, Part Three was the absolute highlight!!! I'm so glad you filmed that too and not just the (for me, rather boring) aroids!!! I know, most people are the opposite of me, lol. Many thanks for all your hard work, Sean!!!!

[@onlyplants]

Thank you ❤️❤️ I love non-aroids too!

[@PLFoon]

Getting tired of Aroid now tooo many new variegated plants

[@MahiMahi-yu5jo]

I don't like aroids. I wish there were more flowering plants. I guess I'm just old school like that. I would definitely go for the Oxalis and the Selaginella varieties here

[@surgeinc1]

@@brocktoon8 Yes! We focus on the unusual, high humidity, drip wall plants. Also Huperzia and a few Rhipsalis.

[@jennywong9848]

Wish I was there… thank you for showing all these beautiful plants..

[@onlyplants]

My pleasure

[@Shelbzz]

For those who buy the plants before others see them, do you think it’s because people are collectors or do you think some people want to buy the most exclusive plants so they can clone them?

[@onlyplants]

I think its both. I’ve heard there are collectors who hoard these rare plants just to be the only ones in the world who have the few. A lot of millionaires have this kind of mindset. But for the most part people want to have return on their investment, so they bring it home and quietly propagate it. For example: 1 x $10,000 plant can be turned into 4 $5,000 plants in about 6 months. He can sell 3 of them and still have 1 parent plant to keep producing off of.

[@tumblina7876]

Awesome video!!!

[@mandystsai1]

I look forward to this particular video from you every year! Thank you so much for showing us what is happening in these shows where we can't make it or afford these amazing plants!

[@FlokieLooney]

REMEMBER FOLKS WAIT at least another year before going out and spending $600 on a monstera. They just Released (costa Farms) Thai Con this year, and we saw Thai's price drop to $30 for 6in pots.

[@onlyplants]

All plant prices drop eventually… its a matter of time. But for those obsessed with collecting, waiting is not an option! 🥹

[@onlyplants]

🥰🥰the plant market is about to get very exciting!

[@serendipity4365]

It's a plant exhibition plus sale and I feel bad that many customers/visitors don't get to see some amazing plants because somebody has already bought it as soon as it was unboxed. Here in my state, we also have these types of plant exhibitions, some even go for as long as 10 days. Everyone participating in such exhibition knows that the plants have to be exhibited for full 10 days. Customers/visitors can book and pay for the plants that they want. The plants are tagged as sold/booked, however, the plant stays exhibited for 10 days. Only on the last day the plant is taken off the shelf and handed over to the buyer. All the plants are in full display till the last day of the exhibition. This avoids over crowding on the first day, plus you don't miss any plants even if you visit on the last day.

[@onlyplants]

Interesting concept! In asia its competitive buying haha the plants get hauled immediately. 🫣

[@fe0570]

Sean another super video of dream plants. Solid audio narration. 🙂 Always great to see what’s on the leading edge of the plant movement. I really envy the collectors and enthusiasts who can afford the astronomical prices. As a plant hobbyist I am not sure I could bear the fact that if I bought a high dollar plant and a few years later it would sell for a fraction of the price.😂 Nevertheless whether you can afford one or not its exciting just to fantasize!

[@onlyplants]

Thank youuu ❤️ I myself am a silent observer of these exuberant transactions, not seeing myself in the position to buy them. A lot of these are businesses who can turn these purchase into profits!

Its a good time to be a beginner collector. Some of the “rare” plants of the last 5-6 years have become very cheap! We paid 5-10x more to collect those during the covid era. So much diversity to enjoy.

[@onlyplants]

Will try to! Thanks for the request.

[@wiandryadiwasistio2062]

i agree with plants’ color often not appearing like how we see it in person 😑 that’s why each time i took photos of them, i color grade them (fixing their colors in apps and sometimes match their color to their real-life counterpart or to my stylistic choice). i suppose there are video apps that can do that, though color grading in videos could be a huge undertaking

[@onlyplants]

Videos are harder to grade 🫣🫣

[@lisap1727]

Wow, this was spectacular, thanks for filming all of the varieties of plants. So many variegated plants. Not sure how I feel about it. 🤔. I kinda feel bad for the plants lol. It seems unnatural on those that look almost all white like the plant is struggling but they seem to be healthy so I don’t know. thanks for your hard work!

[@onlyplants]

Its similar to pure bred dogs, they will not be perfect and have some genetic pre-dispositions but humans will always tinker with nature in search of beauty and wonder. I am neither for or against this, just an admirer of the process and a story teller 😀
