I own the largest Pink Princess I've ever seen, 5ft tall, leaves 14 inch wide x 17 inch long. And I won it in a raffle last year as a 3 footer.

[@ProximaCentauri88]

The Pink Princess also has the most plantshamers LOL. Many complained about its very leggy growth and the very random with low pink variegation.

[@JP-uf9sh]

I'd strongly discourage buying any indoor plant over 40$. Hunting a rare plant is much more exiting than shopping for it and you might be surprised how quickly you can get "rare" plants for cheap. We have small private growers you pretty much give out variegated plants for special occasions. Most of the time they are given by word of mouth. We have a small garden center owned by a family that sells you a medium prince of orange for 10 bucks and if you pick a "good" pot you can get a big plant including a small propagation that just comes along for free. There are older ladies that just give away their monsteras because they are glad someone takes proper care of them because they are getting way to big for them. The further you go from social media the more joy you will have finding something "rare" in a small greenery. And then your plants come with a story! you will be much happier for it.

[@animecatgirl14]

People spend so much on them. I ordered my cutting for like 15$ it’s small but you can tell it’s gonna be pretty!

[@SK-xv1in]

And now the pink princess philo is for sale at Trader Joe’s for $10.99

[@neonice]

​@@SK-xv1in The mass produced ones aren't high quality. A stunning triple-P will always be very rare and hard to acquire.

[@787391]

I cant agree more I go to special events of private growers I get really expensive and rare plants from 2$ to 10$. every time I see a post close to me I go, take extras and profit keep my spending low lol

[@MassiveReactive]

Bro, this new content that you're doing is just what the doctor ordered.

[@ohemmygee216]

I still can’t get over that something as wholesome as houseplants gets this dark and complicated!!! I love the human element when it comes to creating new varieties and finding ways of taking better care of what already exists and conservation… it’s wild how far that pendulum swings in the other direction at times. Love learning about all these niche back stories! Maybe one day we’ll see a pink monstera 🤩

[@prettyingreen]

So interesting right!? I just saw a pink Musa! I think pink Monstera will come along at some point!

[@ricky.888]

Oh god, I don't even want to know what a pink monstera will do to the market lol

[@soundmapper]

Let me tell you....I used to buy and sell cut up machine guns, and the plant world seems to have more shady characters. No joke.

[@MichaelDeNicola]

Another excellent video!! The music and editing makes it feel like I'm listening to a cold case detective, I swear at the end I'm half expecting you to tell me to contact the local authorities if I have any information of the whereabouts of the pink princess 😂

[@kimtaecation]

Ive rewatched your previous documentaries so many times Waking up to this one LITERALLY made my day. Thank you!!!

[@prettyingreen]

Damn. This comment MAKES MY DAY 😭🤗😊😊😊 Appreciate you watching!!!

[@floridahiker1503]

Pink Princess is a sport of philodendron "Royal Queen". It had erubescens and wendlandii and others in its background. Wendlandii was used to create more compact hybrids.

[@prettyingreen]

That makes total sense. Did it come from McColley?

[@floridahiker1503]

@prettyingreen . Philodendron Royal Queen PP3396 is 1973 Robert McColley hybrid that is patent expired. I dont know what nursery Pink Princess originated at. I used to shop at Bamboo Nursery and did not see Pink Princess there.

[@prettyingreen]

@@floridahiker1503 That's SO awesome you shopped at Bamboo! I've heard that was the place to be for Rare Houseplants :)

[@sakareeh]

Holy shit I’m new to plant collecting and didn’t expect plant collecting to have such dark lore

[@Dutch_chess]

I wasn't aware that this plant existed. I love that you were in the middle of that drama too. I'm somewhat new to the plant thing. I love that I woke up to this video. This is well edited.

[@swat486]

Just finished the video on the way to Home Depot. While there found a marble pink princess with a ton of variegation for $19.99

[@Mid-Americabulldogs]

Yup walmart $20 but same day the plantery here had one for $80 I just home it's not a fluke

[@concreet9043]

I love this style of video, they're so informative and add context to high prices ect. Can't wait!

[@richardr5878]

Another excellent video. I swear I remember growing up with this in the 80’s and it was a common. Like collecting baseball cards, never know when the coaster is going back up! Great job!

[@hermiesonajo]

very informative videos🌱🌱🌱 more vlogs please...Make us more love our plants because of their story! ♥️♥️♥️

[@maureensmith4993]

I’ve had my pink princess for 30 years!! And taken many cuttings and love them. I live in Perth, west Australia.

[@prettyingreen]

That is AWESOME!!! That’s a while to have a PPP!!! 🤗

[@andreefloresmartinez2197]

Ive just bought 1 Pink princess in 6 dollars at lowes, i cant believe someone tried to sell me a cutting in 200 dlls back in 2020

[@prettyingreen]

Thank you! Will do 😄

[@shermich90]

I love your plant documentaries!

[@AjaxandOdiethepoodlebros]

Just gotta say that costa farms provides box stores with very low variegated PPPs. I found one with very high variegation and she’s my pride and joy! Still feels like an amazing find because she’s just gorgeous!

[@cindyvan635]

I figured if I just waited it out till the craze was over, i could finally get one at a decent price. I did, and it's a great plant!!! 🤗🌱💚

[@Koreancraft]

So excited for this! Really been loving this type of content would love to know more about the rare Anthuriums and see what’s lying behind those doors.

[@prettyingreen]

I wonder too! Don’t know a lot about anthuriums, but I bet there’s some dirt 😅

[@generationia]

Chris, your documentaries are wonderful and put many things into perspective. They also instill confidence in your subscribers and customers when making educated decisions for their plant purchases. Thank you once again!

Very informative video, keep up the great work!

[@thomasantill8820]

Oglesby had these by the tens of thousands in the mid 2000’s from tc. I remember getting overgrown 10” baskets for $8 wholesale. It was as literally everywhere and nobody cared

[@prettyingreen]

Hahahaa wow that’s incredible!!! Love Oglesby

[@pgakt]

Soo excited for this

[@manjuk1708]

Even before the start of video, I would like to point out that there are many videos online which shows that plant has lost its pink variegation. After several cuttings, plant lovers eventually toss it in a corner Or a bin. So I have decided that instead I will buy pink aglaonemas.

[@prettyingreen]

We go over the different versions of Pink Princess and varying variegations! Could be worth the watch 😊

Ha! That 3yr old prediction post has me rolling. Just bought mine from "Costa Farms" at the local Walmart.. for $1! Really is a pretty plant though, I'd never actually heard of it til today.

A DOLLAR!!!!?!

I was extremely lucky to find mine at the flea market! I only paid $6!

[@perezomamalin9063]

🥰🌿🥰🌿 thank you

[@plantypittsburgh]

Why are some of the pink princesses dark (dark cherries)? Is that just the emergent leaf? Do any stay dark? (I always thought the pink princess was a scraggle monster, so I don't have one.)

[@1980lizbethcamacho]

I got mine at Walmart and I've never in my life had to pay $25 for a plant I took the risk left it outside and forgot about it and it's growing just fine even stole some of her pups already

[@carolstuff]

Very interesting back story; some are only pink in name only.

[@aburningbear3138]

Just picked mine up today it has 3 vines and was $26 at my local grocery store

[@prettyingreen]

There you go!! 😄

[@aburningbear3138]

@@prettyingreen thank you! The only other “pink princess” I have seen locally had no pink and was priced at $200. This was about a month ago, at a fairly large nursery in the city.

[@littleangel2084]

And now in Poland after this boom we can buy the small one (not the baby size) for 20-40 PLN so around 5-10 dollars. (we don't get paid a lot so it's like a 20-40 dollars for us comparing our earning)

[@suewilliamson8155]

I have 3 of them, and none of them have any pink on them. I had read once if they turn all green, the plant won't produce any pink leafs. I won't buy another one

[@AnusiaLA]

I have a pink princess and I hate it. The leaves get stuck almost every time. They grow wonky and the stem looks scraggly. Ugliest plant out of 150 plants I own.

[@prettyingreen]

Hahahahhaa I appreciate this honesty! The leaves ALWAYS get stuck😅

[@cindyvan635]

I just put water on my unfurling leaves with a q-tip, a few x a day and they're fine! 🤗💚🌱 Love my PPP, and my White knight💚

The Pink Princesses in the 1980s weren’t like the ones today. They were stronger, grew bigger.
