NEW! Trending SHOCKING Variegated Aroids and Rare Plants - Bangkok International Exotic Trade Show

Welcome to Bangkok international exotic plants, where hundreds of vendors from all over the world showcase the newest and TRENDIEST plants to the market - for year 2024 and beyond. This episode is very long and dense with information, so I encourage you to watch it over a few sittings so as not to feel overwhelmed. As a plant expert, even I must admit that I am seeing most of these plants for the first time in my life.
This exhibition is filled with rare plants, many of them recently discovered or created by very determined hunters and growers. Anthuriums still dominate the market, but we come across a plethora of gorgeous variegated and mint Alocasias. These alocasias will certainly be a major plant trend this year. Keep your eyes peeled for the many forms of Monstera Thai Constellations, as well as variegated philodendron hybrids, and beautiful variegated homalomenas.
If you frequent this channel, you would know that I share the same fondness for non-aroid plants. We come across a wide variety of rare and interesting plants that might have strong implications for the future houseplant market and in landscaping.
Where possible, I include the name of the booths and prices of the plants. But for those who want to make a mental conversion from the price tags shown, $1USD is equivalent to 35 Thai Baht.
Shows like this is important as major players from all over the world converge to trade, diversify, and distribute these plants back in their regions. It is also in these shows that we get to spot plant trends whether you are a rare plant collector or landscaper. If you missed this show and would like to attend the next one, Bangkok International Exotic Plants happen every quarter and you can visit their facebook page for the latest.
Enjoy the show!

10 minutes of viewing and I have already fainted in front of so many fascinating variations ! Hahaha ! In Belgium these plants are sold very, very expensive ! €40 for 20 centimeter plants ! But sometimes €200! Is it the same with you, Sean ? Bisous, merci to share your passion with us 🤩😍🥰😘

[@onlyplants]

I think the plant prices are much lower in Thailand and Indonesia, because there are more supply here and also growers. But they become expensive when exported because of shipping risks and export regulations. Thank you for watching by the way! I appreciate it

[@shayandevi9870]

@@onlyplants Yes, these are indeed the causes ! This is why your videos are so important to me ☺🤩💝💐

[@naturalgalwilliams]

Gorgeous video as usual. You are my favorite plant channel. You are very consistent with showing us the results of propagation in the same video and I really appreciate that. Your knowledge is great, but like every other plant person you continue to learn and I am learning along with you.

@onlyplants Your Welcome

[@user-ky4mv6up1f]

Feliz dia De Luna, Happy Lunar New Year

[@northernplantucky]

There's such a delicate balance between attractive variegation, and sickly looking variegation personally my limit on what I'm willing to spend for a plant has basically stayed around 30 US dollars . Of course all rules are meant to be broken and I spent about $60 on a nicely variegated Thai constellation in July of last year🎉

[@onlyplants]

Actually… you said whats on my mind but its not exactly something i can say out loud at the time of filming out of respect for the owner. Not all variegation look healthy and nice 😅 but somewhere out there, someones into that - which is why I kept some of these thoughts to myself

[@plantitabyheart7693]

Wow there's a lot of new variegated plants in this video, thank you for this episode sir 🤩

[@onlyplants]

You’re most welcome ❤️

Oooh is that the plant ID, I was looking for it, thank you! Now I will always remember

[@agathan.944]

Thank you for sharing this amazing tour! For 1 hour and 13 minutes I forgot that I live in the snowy northern Utah and had that fairy tale adventure with you. I will definitely order some plants from Thailand when our weather will be more forgiving.

[@onlyplants]

Whoaaa Im glad to be able to bring some warmth and escape for you. Us tropical people dream of visiting snowy mountains! I guess the grass is greener on the other side

[@lorishantler8399]

Yes its perfectly ok to admire these gorgeous plants from afar. I too cannot afford any of them but enjoy filming and sharing ❤️

[@renatosoares8140]

This event is definitely on my bucket list! And thank you for introducing me to other nurseries overseas! Have been purchasing plants from them because of you :)

[@onlyplants]

Thank youu. I hope you found some wonderful suppliers ❤️

A little correction the welwitschia mirabilis is from namib desert and Angola. One of my favorites. And my head was spinning from all the beautiful plants in this episode. 1:05

[@SLee-vc9gd]

Very cool...definitely need one of those varigated ZZ plants!!!👌🏽💚

[@onlyplants]

Thank youuu. Yes that variegated ZZ is on my wishlist… so easy to smuggle back… shhhhhh

[@AliciaWayman]

Omg I thoroughly enjoyed this show! Thank you so much! I'd love to see a few more scindapsus though. I know they aren't rare all over the world, but they are not common in Australia so they're exotic for us Aussies! ❤

[@onlyplants]

Yeahh theres tons of scindapsus being discovered still. Its place of origin is not that far from Australia 😀

[@kristiew6365]

I'm so excited to see what will hit the USA from these beautiful variants. I live very close to a rare plant nursery, and so far, I haven't seen many of these there, but I will be looking out for them. I love that florida beauty × tortum. Something about those jagged toothy leaves just checks all the boxes for me.

[@onlyplants]

It takes a few years sometimes for stores to have them. Most of the buyers in these shows are growers who plan to propagate them for the market.

[@willians1155]

Thank you so much for taking the effort to share the exhibition experience with us! Helps a lot getting through the could and grey European winter. Could you find out the seller’s name of the second last booth you stopped by in the video? It was a Aglaonema nursery….

[@onlyplants]

I had asked the organizer and apparently they cannot find it either 😅 if I run into them again Ill be sure to talk to the owner. A few people asked for it.

[@valerieclark5695]

Those homalomenas are amazing. Mostly green and yellow and a little pinky-peach. I haven't seen them for sale here in the US but would imagine that they will do well when they do arrive. Thanks for another wonderful video.

[@onlyplants]

I have a feeling they will soon be distributed in the states, their supply is coming in hot in Southeast Asia

[@AruntaManita]

Wonderful. 🥰

[@apvlee5890]

Interesting variegated varieties..... Thanks for sharing. I feel some plants look stunning without any variegation like ZZ, Scindapsus. Am partial to their original colour

[@onlyplants]

Yes not all plants look good variegated 😀 but its always a pleasant whenever we see them for the first time or run into them in places. I personally would keep green forms of most aroids in my care and for plant styling purposes.

[@pilitathomason6993]

I love pink plants, I would like variegated Micans and gloriosum, but will take a while for it to be cheaper in nz. Thank you Sean for taking us to your adventures.

So many people that are watching😅 And so few likes 🤷‍♀️ U got my like👌😊 Glad I stayed to the end. Sad to hear that you can’t get any of the plants home. It is like living in EU. One day, at least for some of them, they will find a way to you🙏

[@onlyplants]

Thank you, maybe I should be better at reminding people to like 😅 I appreciate this comment ❤️ your kindness show through.

[@calloffreedom2050]

That orange Philodendron you guy's call "orange princess" is or looks like called Philodendron "prince of orange" is made in the Netherlands and orange is a very inportant color in the Netherlands, they call there kings and prince orange and such and the kingsday is also all in orange color, so yeah orange is very inportant to the Dutch people. Maybe this one is a crossbreed from the "prince of orange". I also bought "prince of orange" plant in the Netherlands and it is very colorful although mine is more orange and yellow, more compact and has no splash motif on the leaf and remains small and compact, very lovely plant that fit everywhere, Greets from Belgium.

[@onlyplants]

Thanks for sharing this ❤️

[@Andys-u2e]

35:49 I think it’s a begonia fulgurata

[@onlyplants]

I googled it up, possibly! But this one had like a vine to it… perhaps its a cane type begonia.

[@onlyplants]

It is 100% free of charge, you can just walk right in. It feels really good to see other plant lovers admire the same things you do too. I recommend going

Looking for monstera variegated plants hehe and also can you make a especially video on Red congo philodendron variegation

[@onlyplants]

Ohh Ive covered a few red congos in past show episodes, they are my faves!! But they are so far in between, not many people have them. This could only mean their prices may not have stabilized

[@Wolverinedura]

We have a few seller in uk and they are selling from price range of £450-1300.

[@asnahzainalabidinzainalabi2204]

Next time please show also the media their using please again thank you

[@SecretOfTheWorld93]

May I ask, if you buy plants from the exhibition there, how you take it home with you? do they help send it to your country? And can they send it to Indonesia?

[@onlyplants]

Yes they have exporters who can ship it but we also need importers in Indonesia to provide import service. Some countries its much easier

[@SOOLRASMUS]

I need the information for the Aglaonema booth! Those were stunning. 1:06

I have a feeling you can find “bangkok exotic plants” on facebook, and inquire them about this or any booths information. Im sure they keep the contacts and are happy to connect! 😀

Thank youuuu!💚💚

[@krnbrotha]

Awesome stuff! I’ve been out of the game the past year so this is a crazy update for me lol. Does you know if philodendron islemanii is being TC’d yet?

[@onlyplants]

Im sure someone out there is making it. But I’ve not come across it in my travels yet. I also dont know if this plant is high enough in demand for someone to TC it. Which can be a good and bad thing depending on how you look at it 😄

[@Vyezene]

There is some stuff that looks like its been variegated by spider mites/thrips 😂😂 overall great stuff and I love your videos! And of course these aren’t your plants so I mean no offense to you!

[@onlyplants]

Omg yes hahaaa I said that to one of the alocasias 🙈

[@brocktoon8]

So many of the new plants they breed look sickly or diseased or dying to me. I really don't get that trend.

[@onlyplants]

Its not for everyone 😀😀 but theres a gold rush for them and new ones are being created/discovered. I guess it keeps the plant market and interest going

[@brocktoon8]

Yes, I can see the novelty in it, but if I had to look at a plant like that in my house for more than a day, I think I'd end up just giving it away. I guess I'm old fashioned, I prefer healthy-looking plants 😂😅@@onlyplants

[@marcfrench3613]

The anthurium hybrid names that ecuagenera create for their crossed are annoying. People want to know what the crosses are, not the stupid name they give them.

[@onlyplants]

Haha yes the anthurium hyrbid market is becoming very confusing. Ive learnt to just nod to names try to see them based on their looks.
