‼️we neeeeed to see a rare plant index for velvet leafed plants! Absolutely love these videos! the time it takes for you do create these is very much noticed and appreciated! Thanks for all the info!

[@jerryclemens1474]

I have a new project idea for you Kaylee, its a book : "The History of Rare Plants Index". Not that you needed more to do, however my ears perk up when you discuss provinence, cultivation, and market history of these plants. I would read that book cover to cover, coffee table it, and use extensively as a reference. Let me know your thoughts.

[@robinbli3221]

I think it's a great idea however she couldn't focus that much on the rareness, available, or price since it's changing all the time and it wouldn't be up to date from writing it to publishing it. But if it's more about the history of the plants it would be amazing

[@KorokHaze93]

@@robinbli3221 that's what I was thinking that book would be out of date before you even finished writing the second half.

[@WoggleEnthusiast]

Also the prices vary depending on location as supplier it's an impossible job..

[@l.leland9528]

I've always wished there was a history of houseplants in general, but focusing on plants on the rare side would be fantastic. I think more folks in the plant community (myself included) would benefit from having a full understanding of the problematic / colonial history of our hobby. Plus, of course, the sheer joy in reading about provenance and origin.

[@andrewbrasington9145]

Rare plant history is such a good idea for a series! There are so many great plants I'd like to learn about too!

[@robertdurrant]

YES YES YES

[@HolidayGlow]

I LOVE this idea! How cool would that be!

[@allthingstealee]

YES! It’s crazy how some plants used to be common and no one wanted them, then they became rare and everyone wants them and vice versa.

[@martystevens2313]

Costa said in a tour with Ashley Anita that they want to flood the market with tai constellation when it is released to prevent people buying at big box prices and reselling at higher prices. They want to be sure they have enough to saturate the market when it is released and it took some time to propagate enough.

[@zombiekate]

Dude I just have to say I love how much of a pro you have become! It's been so fun to watch your confidence soar over the years!

[@iseabelnance7765]

costa did some trial releases of thai constellations in washington and oregon at the beginning of 2021 and they were SPECIMENS (only $80 for super mature plants) i got one as a rehab and the coloring is spectacular

[@truonghongnhung]

Congrats to you. That is the best price possible for Thai.

[@paulacothren3591]

Good to hear! I'm pulling for Costa Farms to get through this latest setback with their Thai Constellations.

It says it will come out 2023 on the Costa site.

The Thai Cons were also released for $99 at a Kroger in Ohio. A friend of mine has 2 and they’re GORGEOUS! Very big and full. I was shocked.

[@Rayxster]

I used to really dislike yellow variegation, but honestly, it has grown on me. I still don't like the vast majority of yellow variegated plants, but the Monstera small form is kinda becoming one of my favs.

I'm always excited to watch your Rare Plant Index. It's honest, informative, and hella entertaining! Love it!

Epipremnum Pinnatum has a more rarer variegated varieties that most people didn’t know about yet, like marble, mint, neon, yellow flame, and even a variegated Cebu Blue, etc.. most of them are super expensive in the Philippines. Some of these varieties are most probably not available yet outside the Philippines.

That is cool! I would love to see the cebu blue with some variegation on it. Could be an interesting look.

Love the energy you have in this video 💚 (PS - A plants with interesting history video would really appeal to me! Not just one on jopeii)

[@Stormer2620]

From my understanding Costa scrapped their first round of Thai's due to poor quality of the TC plants they received. They posted in mid 2021 that the release would be spring 2022 I believe. They did some test releases across the US with success. Talking with the growers that were in other parts of Costa, the Thais were still in full production for 2022.

[@AlejandraHernandez-yh6yc]

Yeah costa farms had an update three months ago, they pushed that date back again and are set to release in 2023 now

[@Stormer2620]

My guess is they are going to try shipping stuff more during 2022 since they have been testing it out now. I would be shocked if they don't push for earlier considering the price of plants are already starting to drop.

[@rabbitsandphilodendron]

going variegation hunting with friends is so much fun, it really reignited my passion for the hobby. i found a prince of orange with stable variegation once, i love it. and the plant you find out hunting always have a memory or a story attached to them this way :)

[@Amy-wc6jn]

So happy to see a new rare index. Many of the variegated varieties I end up preferring the green version also but love seeing your take on them all.

[@kassandrastein4249]

How is your plant going? It's now in Germany and I thought it might be similar to the adansonii variegata which looses its variegation over time.

[@melissamonroe7351]

Loved this, thank u! ❤

[@monkgogiotlhogile4986]

Thank you for this video! Because of you I have finally identified one of my plants as a variegated alocasia. I am in Botswana (a desert country which makes growing certain plants a pain) and for two years I asked so many people to help me id it so I could properly care for it. We have a ton of elephant ear here but I guess the variegation threw people off. Now to watch your alocasia care video 😬

I love the video! Fun as always. I only wish you included one variegated Scindapsus, I know you can't put everything there, I know. But Scindapsus are becoming quite popular now and it would be nice to have one more genus mentioned. And after seeing your story I actually thought this one is going to be about Aglaonemas, another genus that is gaining momentum. But probably all in due time.

With all of the BS happening to you I was really scared you’ll stop putting out awesome videos. Good on you for standing up to them and persisting! Btw did I mention I love your content? Many have opinions and most are usually nonsense, OMG I love your opinions especially about the business side of the plant world. Also totally agree that variegated adansonii will drop. Heck I’ve been able to make a variegated adansonii from a regular one. Someone else mentioned this but I too love how far you’ve come - specifically your confidence.

[@damienbaudhuin9424]

I've been growing some monstera albo variegata since 2019, and I totally agree, and the price rocketed up! What if I told you if I paid a 6 vine, 5ft tall albo with good variegation (not very well treated tho) for 70 euro in France? I made 45 cuttings from it, a third survived, and I sold them for at least £35 and as much as £120. What I hate is people that sell cuttings with no roots for an insane amount of money. If you are shopping for an Albo now, buy one with roots and idealy established even if the leaves are small.. Because your large mature leaf cutting will grow small leaves anyway. Wet sticks are traps, the odds for you do grow them is not high enough

[@stephaniebuzzella1]

I absolutely agree with the assessment of the albo market. I thankfully have a high variegate, and I've already propped her twice for friends. It's a balancing act keeping green on her though, because that white can take over 😬

[@michaelyciano2123]

I absolutely love love love the variegated philodendron spiritus sancti 1” baby that sold for $24,500. Had a great time keeping an eye on the auction.

Any day we get a Rare Plant Index feels like Christmas! But to get on KZbin and see THE index we've all been waiting for was extra special. Thank you! I think any short video ideas you have would be fun. I prefer the longer ones but I know all this takes up a bunch of your time. I wonder if monstera Aurea kind of got passed up because so many green-on-green sports are being found? People seem to prefer the green variegation to the yellow. Some gorgeous variegated R. Tetrasperma are being found in big box stores in the US.

Kaylee Ellen!! I have got to thank you for your Content & Subject Videos. I missed the Aroid Craze during the Pandemic. I was doing my Scary-Bitey Terrestrial Bromeliads, Aloes & Agave in the early 2020's. Having found your Channel & Instagram this year: I am able to look back at your earlier posts and find the Plants that have the Look I enjoy. Namely: the LONG BOIS & The Variegated!!

I bought a rhaphidophora tetrasperma last week and after examining it I realised it has some variegation on a couple leaves! It's not super contracted, but I'm gonna try to keep it going 😍

[@ashleighschalkwyk4548]

First off, I love your show Kaylee 🙂 Re: green monstera large form, we have them growing all over South Africa in gardens (70s throwback) - but we also have them growing wild in the coastal regions. I would not be surprised if we could find variagated albo specimens in the wild because monsteras are so prolific here. Ironically, variagated specimens (like thai constellation) are super expensive from plant stores here right now - R4000 (£197). I'm holding thumbs and waiting for prices to drop 🤞

[@katyfortier1917]

I find myself watching and rewatching this particular rare plant index episode!!!! Can you do one on thaumatophyllum please???

[@Kayworx]

I agree on the Pink Princess! I found one in a plant show in Cape Town for R169 (£8). But it definitely does not have very exciting variegation.

[@christinapetersen4318]

I love these videos. I was hoping to see where a Syngonium Panda or an Adansonii Mint ranks, just bc I have them, but I have an idea. Varigated plants are my fav!!

[@nadiraissayeva2576]

Oh my GOD 😍 This variagated ones are killing meee😭 i wanna all of them

[@knitwit2871]

I have a variegated gigantium that had lower variegation, popped it in HIGH light & it’s SOOO varigated now, what sellers would call a “blizzard” I ALSO have a Florida ghost that had a more light green coloring when new leaves came out, put in under again, HIGH light & it has the most amazing beautiful white minty leaves. It’s all about the light in my opinion!

[@simplyaliciaa4937]

Hi Kaylee! I love your videos! Have you heard of the variegated philodendron hedaraceum? Is it rare? I haven't heard a lot of people talk about it or show it on their channels yet... Please let me know what you think! And your make-up looks awesome by the way!

[@AdahliaBiPunk]

Love that you mentioned the whole issues with the Thai Constellation. I found out about those RIGHT when they got expensive. But I heard about the Costa Farms shit and thought they'd be available at affordable prices soon. Still waiting. I REALLY don't wanna buy a young plant with no fenestrations for $200-$300 just for the plants to be released to big box stores 6 months or a year later at affordable prices. But like. I want a god damn Thai already :c

[@hoyahead9930]

Oh my god a rare plant index!! This is the best Christmas present ever 😭😭😭

[@Lumimyrsky]

I'm not surprised the Monstera Constellation is listed as rare. I've lost count on how many months I've been looking for one since I don't like the Albo's (sorry lol). I can't find one - at all. I see loads of Albo's being sold around me, but the 3 steady growers I buy from have issues even locating the Monstera Constellation from their suppliers here in Europe 😂

[@Lumimyrsky]

@@neonice It's more the fact that one always need to keep an eye on them in terms of the variegation, and cut them if they have more than xx % of variegation on one leaf to sustain a healthy photosynthesis. Don't get me wrong, I love variegated plants but having to potentially cut leaves off every so often to keep the variegation healthy would make me sad 😂

[@Sarah-iz2nt]

There had been an explotion of Thai Constellation last 2020 (Q3/Q4) here in South East Asia specifically here in PH. Despite of the high number of supplies, the price still hold up and pricey.

Both spathiphyllums are on my wishlist. Love them ! I think they're great beginner plants. Domino is in big box stores in the US. I'm not crazy monstera. Variegated or not. I would rather have a big beautiful philodendron instead because space is at a premium for me.

[@emiliaputz884]

Likely you are right that Thai Cons are now shipped to some different markets. I live in Hungary and during the pandemic, everyone started to sell and buy variegated Monseras in our country. They are certainly very pricy for our market, I would say that they are selling it on the same price as you could buy in the UK but due to the economic differences this plant is a lot more valuable in Hungary.

[@AlohaAdri]

Ashley from Plant life with Ashley Anita did a video with costa farms a few months ago. They actually gave her a tour and showed her their Thai constellations. They explain why they are taking so long to roll them out in that video. It’s more of a rate of growth and supply demand issue than anything. But they said they are coming out very soon. Check her video out because it’s amazing👌🏽
