[@Melainaaaa]

Stuck in quarantine and rewatching old videos of yours. It’s so funny to see how just a year ago you were stumbling over names and hadn’t heard of certain plants... now you own your own rare plant shop and have all of the holy grail plants. 🌿🌱🍃✨ Love watching people grow! Love your videos, too! 🖤

[@victoriagreenroyd3120]

I have a simple tree philodendrun that I've had since 1976; she was in a 4"pot and now she's all grown up living in a 24". This plant has moved with from home to home in 3 states. Philodendrun is a hardy genus and lovely regardless which species you choose. I enjoyed this video, thank you again Kaylee.

I’m down the plant rabbit hole of KZbin and loving it. The correct pronunciation of the “ii” at the end of some of these plant names is “eee eye” though. So plow-manny-eye is how you’d say that. 😊

[@curtisingersoll8079]

So crazy.. I watched this video shortly after you released it and for some reason it just popped up again. Remarkable how much has changed in the plant world over the past 3-4 years. Anyone can go online now and get all of those plants easily and almost all of them for under a hundred bucks, they may be small but you can get them. Not to mention how many new varieties and cultivars are available now.

[@tabathaholtz8626]

I like your taste in plants and completely agree. I recently picked up a 3 foot + Alocasia "Regal Shields" which has velvety heart shaped, dark green leaves with purple undersides. It's a large plant but stands upright so the ultimate footprint is not large. I find a lot of Philodendrons spread out too much for the average home.

[@stephenohara3014]

There is a plant I'd like your thoughts on, the Aspidistra. I love its longevity - the way that some plants have been passed down generation after generation to the point where they are over a century old. I also love its associations with the 19th century, Victorian Britain and latter George Orwell, who wrote about it in 'KEEP THE ASPIDISTRAS FLYING'. My interest is the care of the plant. Thanks from Canada.

Hi there! Do you think you will do a 2022 post covid rare plant index? I feel like there have been so many changes in availability/supply/rarity of many of the listed species as well as new varieties in the last 3 years

[@jriley8614]

Oh no, this is fanning my aroid addiction. What a time to be on a no-buy. Instant sub! P. gloriosum has been on my list for a while, as has the hastatum or "silver sword" (which wasn't featured but I'm sure you've come across). Can't wait to binge your other videos.

[@experiencetherain]

Seen in Australia pink princess and white knight are much more common than any of those ones in the uncommon category haha.

[@maryannlammersen6536]

The Pink Princess is on my daughter's wishlist. My house is in amongst forest trees and very dark so my plants live in the lightest room in the house....the bathroom! I have an 10 yr old Bella Palm. I have been told it is hard to keep so long because of spider mites but mine is healthy so far. I have heard that if a plant name ends in 'ii' it is pronounced 'eee-eye' but there are many pronunciations out there and probably sound different spoken by different language speakers. Thanks, and looking forward to seeing and learning more! I too love Marantas and Calatheas.

[@irisloo5199]

I found this tip on the web: For anyone wanting to get white variegation (instead of yellow) on their variegated Philodendron burle-marx, put the plant in direct sunlight for a few hours daily (setting sun hours maybe). The new leaves tend to grow more cream -coloured then white.

[@sianjoyc8883]

I'd love to see one of these videos on Anthurium!

[@sashastarshanti3599]

Thank you Kaylee! Your videos are so full of educational and insightful info. I love Philodendrons! (Among many other species.) So this was like a super fun show and tell of plants, that though I may never have, I can learn from none the less. I wanted to share that I just recently found what appears to be a vining Prince of Orange. I've looked on the internet to see if I can find info on them vining but I haven't come across anything specific. Except one brief reference to them coming in vining or shrub like varieties (which I can't find again,) and I've gathered that the Prince of Orange seen for sale now is a "newer variety" that is selfheading and so grows in a compact shrub like shape. The one I have definitely seems to have a vining growth pattern, however, and I think I am going to need to stalk it as it gets bigger. The garden center where I found it can have some unusual plants finds, and I just felt that this plant was a bit on the unusual side. It was the only one they had, and it looked like they'd had it a while. Who knows, maybe it's just taken on a different sort of shape from the growing conditions they had it in, but it does look different than the bushy plants I see when I google it. So anyway, it was fun to hear you mention the Prince of Orange, as it's been a rare plant find for me. In fact, plants are fun! and just bring more joy to our lives. Peace!

[@andiee248]

Rewatching old videos of yours and I'm sooooo proud on how far you've come! I was thrown off when you weren't sure how to say the names and when you said you wanted a gloriosum! So happy for you Kaylee :D

[@vera7387]

[@victoriagreenroyd3120]

Hi Kaylee, the plant names are botanical and therefore, Latin. You've done a very good job overall of pronouncing them by the way, whenever you encounter a name ending in two ii the first letter is a short i (sound of e) and the second has the long I which is eye. Loved your video, just found you today and I've subscribed. Much love, Victoria

[@juhikulkarni]

Watching this now after THE WAll. 💚

[@erinquinn215]

I imagine that a monstera edition might be in the pipeline, very excited for this :)

[@stefpix]

Interesting, although it would be good to make a distinction between all those hybrids and the species. I looked at hybrid Philodendros, googled their patents after I bought a 'Lemon Lime'. It is stated somewhere that it is a variety of Pholodendron domesticum,. but I suspect it is a hybrid. The hybridizers, some in China and in Florida, do not seem to keep track of what species have been crossed. They cross pollinate several species for a few generations, they see a variation in a seedling and then they clone the selected plant in vitro via stem cell / tissue culture. You can do a search for the Philo 'Prince of Orange'+ patent and you find some paperwork about it. The species are way more interesting to me. I just got Philo subhastatum which I like a lot, and it seems hardy, easy to root and grow. Philodendron verrucosum has very thin leaves and I think it requires high humidity and if you are in a heated apartment you may need a humidifier. Anyway I am not sure if the hybrids are rare as they have been cloned in labs by the thousands.

[@rinascreekhomestead3312]

I just started watching your videos and holy! I spent so much on rare plants lately its painful, thanks for the info but it's hard to just look at these rare beauties! 💚🌱

Reverse variegation is the name for plants which have more variegation than green or have variegation where normal variegate have green if that makes sense

If I’m not mistaken the florida ghost you liked becomes green when the leaves mature and it doesn’t stay white so you might have to research about that before you buy it and maybe get disappointed 😋

Hey Kaylee, Love your video on the rare plants. I have to warn you about some of these though. i have been growing plants for 40 years now, and yes they claim these plants are "RARE" when in reality they are not. From my years of seeing different philos come and go on the market what they are now saying is "RARE" is only whats in the limelight. Like the "GOLDEN POTHOS" ok this plant has been around for decades. And now you have to pay far too much money for a 2" pot. Please, these things root easily and as well as the more compact philos. There is a location in south florida here in the U S. that you can find your RARE philos, from your wish list. I forget the name of the place but you can search on google i think and find it. Its what i consider over priced but they do have those you are looking for and if not i am sure they know who does. I just want a nice scindapsus or silver pothos, i just refuse to pay over 10.00 for a 2" cutting.. I have had them in the past and they all died. And i really am an avid plant grower so i dont know why they died. I have the same problem with maidenhair ferns. LOVE THEM cant seem to grow them. Remember the varigation in these plants change with EACH LEAF. Rarely will you find one that has a consistent varigation. And some of them i think are one variety with a "NEW NAME" not so much a rare species. Just a little info to let you know that you might not be getting as RARE a plant as you might think. Thanks for the videos. HAPPY NEW YEAR :)

[@KayleeEllenOfficial]

Mine has nearly tripled in size and i bought last spring. if you need more light for it, i have just a bed side lamp with a 100 watt florescent bulb in it and it more than makes up the possible lack of light. let me know ;). it was only like 6.00$s at homedepot here

They've almost become equal to my airoids and that's saying a lot.
