[@mychynnagirl1]

I am really gravitating more and more to your content/videos too.

[@ErikaA2582]

I was def agreeing with a lot of this video and not agreeing with all because I never bought a Jose Bueno. I still have my Brandi but it looks a mess the leaves are small and straggly and this is my second one and I just don't want to fail. I tried Melano twice and just gave my second one away because it was growing stupid with tiny wonky leaves. I'm on my second El Choco I'm going to keep trying for now. My Praiso Verde went to another home and I gave my Pink Princess away too because it was growing stupid. I find myself not really going for philodendrons anymore I've been branching out to things like hoyas, rhipsalis and I'm in love with episcias.

[@SLee-vc9gd]

Same!! I'm a hoya and rhipsalis chick for sure!😊💚✌🏽

Hi Jaclynn, I only have one Philodendron the bipenopholeaum, it really is doing so great and some don't do that great even though some of them are so cool I will maybe just look for some new plants, I would like to try to get a Philodendron Pink Princess.

[@jodidelong3663]

Your setting looks fabulous! Like you, I have fallen out of love with some philodendrons, and have been culling them--which is to say, I donated several to a fundraising plant sale for cat rescues. I think there was exactly one that irked me so much I did compost it. Most of my energy indoors is going to pothos/epipremnum and hoyas. Oh, the hoyas. You're a huge help there, too!

[@luisazippier1529]

Good tips/ I can understand your hate ofvthese listed. 😂Love your new setup, it looks amazing. Any recommendations for an easy/ easier anthrium and/ or Alocasia that have super dark leaves - almost black?

[@jaclynns.jungle]

For Anthurium, I'd loomk for an AOS dark form hybrid crossed with something else dark like gigi or any darker pap! I've had an easy time with mine but they can be pricey so you can always look for a dark forgetii as well! For Alocasia, I think the easiest and most beautiful is the black velvet! 🖤

[@luisazippier1529]

Awesome I'll check these options out, thank you

[@nikkireigns]

Background looks sooooo good! 🤩 I haven’t gotten an anthurium yet, is there an easy one you’d recommend starting with?

Crystallinum, forgetii, silver blush!

[@jaclynns.jungle]

Don't be hard on yourself! We all fall out of love with plants! That's why having plant friends is a must or a local plant group!

[@abbthuriumgardens]

I threw your micans on a pole and it's taking off now. The verracosum ugh along with the Brandi. Parasio Verde I agree. Love it but man ugh. Lol the erubescens are really the only ones that are doing fine for me 😂 shockingly enough. Ooo that pink princess is gorgeous. Looks kinda like a black cherry almost. I bought a cutting of the orange princess and I'm glad I did. It's looking so beautiful. I think the dark leaf philos are the way to go 💗🧡💗🧡

[@sherinicodemus9309]

💓🧡 I completely get what your saying. Sometimes we buy a plant we absolutely loved in the beginning but things change...the growth pattern or it's difficult and we just don't love it anymore. That's ok! Especially when we have so many plants...lol

[@darlenecarlmark7129]

I love the new place!

[@hedgewitch59]

I know your vid's been up awhile but if you put your "hated" plants on moss poles and keep the moss damp, you'll see a real difference in how the look & grow. The stuck leaves-get a water holding brush and paint the unfurled bit with a hydrogen peroxide/water mix. Haven't needed to do it yet but HousePlantyGoodness swears by it.

[@jaclynns.jungle]

@hedgewitch59 I just don't have an interest in doing all that for plants that I don't particularly like. The ones I do enjoy growing are mostly on moss poles already! 😊

[@kristiemowry3267]

I agree with you on most of your choices. I recently gave away a pink princess that had larger leaves and on a pole. I had it 3 years. It had good sectorial variegation but continued to have those small badly formed leaves. At the same time I bought another one. It has that Thai speckled pattern of pink. I paid $75 for the first one, and $30 for the new one. I am hopeing that they have improved on the growth pattern. Maybe I am a sucker.

[@jaclynns.jungle]

There are some plants I will just keep breaking my own heart over 🤣

@@jaclynns.jungle what does it mean by right environment? I have like 100 plants in my house but have always struggled with anthurium and alocasia! I usually stay away from the a words? lol

[@juliewagner9862]

I bought the PPP and wizard and white princess all as baby plugs, they grew great at first, and then all died. I am not sure what I do wrong, but all my plugs do great for about 6-10 months, and than I find they start to die, makes me not want to go with the plugs, even though they are fun to watch to grow, but I must do something wrong as they never get very big, and die on me. I may have to start looking for larger specimens. I did get a veracosum and am loving it for now, but again it was a baby.🧡💖

[@jaclynns.jungle]

Do you repot them? It might be that plugs usually come in compact coco or moss and don't get enough air flow to the roots as they grow.

[@hana277]

Philodendrons on my “do not repurchase” list include Melanochrysum (and the like), and any that have an unpredictable growth pattern like silver sword, ppp, and even painted lady. Those 3 get the Cinderella slipper syndrome for me! I also love your background closer to the plants! 😃🩷 🩷 🧡🧡

I won’t grow any of those either. I ended up with a burle marx & I don’t love the way it grows. But, it’s exploding right now & the leaves are gorgeous. When I feel it looks it’s best, I’ll sell it.

[@vaylara5679]

Totally agree with Paraiso Verde, Growth is awfull, leaves are soo papery, variegation looks so sick and unhealthy, I had no problems with keeping variegation but gifted it to someone else. My Jose Buono is a big bush now, 1,5 meters and growing like a weed, totally love it, one of my favorite plants. :) With velvet leaf philos I have to agree as well, they are spider mite magnets, need poles and high humidity to really grow well. Also not a fan of papery leaves in general :D

[@StreaminGames]

100% agree with tour choice... I think there are more in my list 🤭

[@StaceyChrist]

The P. Glorious is a hybrid and I love it, but would not buy a non-hybrid for the same reasons as you!

I have a white princess and yeah I’m considering getting rid of it. Like you said, the leaves get stuck a lot and I just don’t like the way it grows. Idk why I thought I liked it at first lol. 😂

[@lishen9223]

Agreed. I saw a white wizard at store and really liked it at the first place, but luckily I hestiated. Then when I google online, so many people regret for owing it. I am glad I didn't bring her back.

[@gapeachnow26]

Yep! I feel the same about verrucosum and paraiso verde. Internodal spacing makes the plant look bare and scraggly. And the white knights/princess/wizard and pink princess crew are gorgeous, but they also get too gangly. I wish they grew like a birkin. My micans is also about to meet the trash.... Lovely plant, but I just don't like how the vines grow.😒😅

[@CosyRach]

Agree with all 😂 I love them all, but I’ve been burned! I still have a white princess, but she’s happy for now! My mum got gifted my PPP and it’s absolutely amazing in her care! 4ft tall, huge leaves with perfect variegation! No high humidity, direct light in the morning and indirect the rest of the day. The only thing she does differently to a lot of people is feeding it with rain water. She also uses cheap plant food. I’m jealous 🙈

[@jaclynns.jungle]

At least your mom uses plant food lol. My mom's plants thrive in the worst soil, never been fed, and in pots with not drainage 🤣🤣

[@amymarshall1829]

I am just not a philodendron person. I've always had houseplants, but after a big African violet/streptocarpus fixation and subsequent burnout years ago, I really put the hobby on the backburner. I started getting back into it right when Pink Princess was the "must have." I had never had a climber before and didn't know much about them, but I was able to get both Pink Princess and Silver Sword at good prices, so I tried them out. Just not for me. I didn't want to deal with moss poles, so they grew wonky and weird. (My fault, not theirs.) And I was forever tearing their leaves trying to unstick them. My PPP had really pretty variegation, but I was sick of her crap and gave her (and the Silver Sword) away to someone who would appreciate them. I do have an Aglaonema Pink Princess, who also started out as a bit of a diva, but we're getting along now and she's more my jam.
