When are you doing another show on PalmStreet? It’s been awhile!

[@plantgayforlife]

Why did palm street change its name? The other name was better...

Cacti also display a ton of mutations. That’s why I grow them from seed despite their unbearably slow growth. Most of the time you have just regular plants, but once in a while they display mutations to their apical meristem, which can be truly spectacular. A lot of the species popular on social media like the boo-bie cactus or the spiral cactus are rare mutations that are now being traded as cuttings, hence their high price compared to regular cacti, which tend to be really cheap.

[@Tony.795]

Cactus people aren't obsessed with mutations the way most aroid people are. The goal for many is to get them to grow like they would in the wild. The very sought after cacti are mostly wild forms like Copiapoa or Ariocarpus for example.

[@asmrtpop2676]

@@Tony.795I think it depends where you are; cactus and succulent people here love the crested and mutated forms, and then there’s all the people that love the “albino” ones that cannot survive without being grafted.

This content is PERFECT!!!! Could you dive into the new pothos popping up? I’ve got a neon queen coming. Just got a variegated jade satin. What have we got to look forward to? I want to see mutated versions of our boring ol pothos.

[@tylerlovett6242]

There’s so many amazing pothos already from Teruno World in Japan.

[@aplantprocess]

Visually beautiful and perfectly narrated.

[@ohrats731]

Oh wow it didn’t occur to me that some of these crazy mutations are brought about by experimentation. Sounds obvious now that I hear it though! Thanks for the info and all the reference pictures too

[@raymondrai5453]

Thank you for the Beautiful Update 🌿. 💙Love from India.

[@gingercaudill7219]

I’m sooo in love with the monstera devil 😈 thanks so much for sharing this beautiful video with me!! Ginger

[@carolstuff]

Wow, interesting! Thanks for info Chris!

[@enzobaeta9110]

You seem to be the best person to ask this, I have a philodendron brandtianum with a half Pink leaf. Do you think it could be a mutation, or is it possibly a virus?

[@prettyingreen]

Ya that sounds like it could be variegation! Dm us a photo on instagram 😊

[@plantingo]

curious to see the new leaves

[@nackedgrils9302]

Ever since getting my Sierrana, I've been having a hard time believing it's actually a deliciosa because it's growing twice as fast as all my other deliciosas. It isn't maturing as fast as it's growing though... can't wait for it to get splits and fenestrations!

[@lincolnkrystr]

I have seen my TC monstera thai creme brulee shooting out new leafs that are almost half sided only.. It is quite a seedling still with leaves not longer than an inch - do you think it could get out of its half leaf growth mutations? For the last 3 leaves, it shot out a half leaf, a full leaf and now another half. I am worried :x

[@hefoxed]

What's the tea about the red leaf exotica guy? 🍿🍿

[@tim_meister]

Allegedly he stole some very rare carnivorous plants from another greenhouse to get his start.

[@mommat5101]

I'm not a fan of sickly looking plants so i dont understand why anyone would spend thousands for one, to each their own. The Shangri-la pothos for example(altho not high$) looks deformed from pest issues to me, imho. So give it a catchy name lol

[@tinapomfrey5412]

I am in total agreement...and many are slow to grow and struggle to size-up - and down-right ugly. I gets me hot that cultivators perpetuate variegation that behaves that way, but, of course, it boils down to profit. They know there are those that will purchase something because its new and different. Not me; its got to be lush and healthy-looking for me to spend money.

[@hefoxed]

I accidentally got a cutting of that pothos (plant seller sent me the wrong box...), it's... Not as bad as bad looking in person... But yea, I don't really like sick looking plants. Unless it makes it look really sick in the cool sense.

[@CarbonKevin]

I always associate yellow leaf coloration with dying, yet the Monstera Aurea is a thing. Different strokes!

[@1faithchick7]

Same. If it can barely survive and it looks it I just feel sad looking at it.

[@1faithchick7]

​@CarbonKevin I think because so many plants just have yellowish leaves naturally I have never associated it with death. That said, there are definitely some mutant plants with yellow that do look sick and dying to me.

[@kspence5300]

Fascinating.

[@lextexasthang2313]

Aye that’s me with the gas can😂

[@Duke_Scanlan]

Good video

[@celestialynx]

I'm a little surprised that people can pay a fortune for mutations where the plant's leaves look like they've had a massive attack of thrips or are undeveloped as if it had some type of virus. While I think that many variegations bring out a lot more beauty in a plant, some of them reach a certain extreme. The plants are neither pretty nor look healthy.

[@montanaplants]

I agree - pink micans, variegated black cardinal, strawberry shake - all just look sick to me.

[@CharlieGreen05]

Patiently waiting for your Lives 🤗

[@prettyingreen]

We’re comin back soon!!!

[@aryehwiesel5206]

A lot of the mutations we are seeing in house plants result from tissue culture. In breeding, sports are usually kept while plants with issues are thrown out. In my opinion, a lot of the leaf shapes are not worth putting on the market.

[@phungm7]

Can we get another part to monstera PM

[@prettyingreen]

He got part 1 banned in Aus 🙄

[@jennifercassens]

I find it sad and cruel somehow to do this to plants. Like someday we're going to realize plants have been suffering at our hands for generations, and they want revenge, lol.

[@superflamedude2112]

Is it a genetic mutation being passed down or some type of virus that alters the plants morphology? Awesome video btw

[@prettyingreen]

I believe it can be both! Will look into it for next weeks vid!

[@jessicadalton2159]

I find it very interesting that when plants mutate we all chase after them and want to collect them but when humans have mutations, society puts some in a subclass of not being as equal.

[@neonice]

Variegation in humans is actually popular. Some examples are Poliosis and especially Heterochromia.

[@hberror404]

Blue eyes are due to mutation dude. Humans love that sh*t

[@tortyreus2384]

...because they aren't. Stunted and restarded (yes, typo) people are not natural nor healthy and our instincts tell us how we feel about them, just like any other animal in nature. You should see how animals deal with it though.

[@jessicadalton2159]

You do know that blue eyes are considered a mutation? Vitiligo is the human equivalent of variegation.

[@ItsLitStudios]

I find it interesting someone always seems to make something about race.

[@anneplemons]

When I first got into plants I had an albo that was healthy and only produced contorted leaves. I propagated it and those produced contorted babies. I actually threw it away because I thought it was ugly. Now I know I should have kept it because it might have worth a lot of money but 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@ProximaCentauri88]

I'm not a fan of variegations that look like bird poop on leaves. Cebu Blue is still way way way more beautiful than Cebu Blue Variegata or Cebu Blue Ghost.

[@elizabethlacey7708]

I DO NOT LIKE THE LIVE SALES

[@1faithchick7]

Why? Some have really good deals.

[@elizabethlacey7708]

@1faithchick7 I want plants, not a conversation about what a great deal they are giving me! I also I am very content with my collection 250 +.

[@prettyingreen]

hahahahhaha how did I miss this comment gold

[@Tropicalplantlifestyle]

I’m sorry but all those plants look very sick and ugly! The Thai is the only one that looks normal and pleasant looking. They really need to calm down on mutating such ugly plants and charging huge prices on them. I think it’s ridiculous.

[@1faithchick7]

I just won't buy them lol. I agree with you overall though. I don't get why people want sick plants.
