Rare Plant Index #12 | Anthurium 2 | Uncommon to Extremely Rare Plants!

[@hopexdespair]

Such a smart term "Commercially rare" the amount of people that nit pick someone calling something rare even though its valid. Gonna start using this lol

[@theonyxblack]

Rare Plant Indexes I would love in the future: Scindapsus, Epipremnum, Sansevieria and updated Syngonium and Monstera - in that order

[@yukiaditya7352]

Watch out for more beautiful variegated epipremnum from Indonesia. The ones popular here now are the Epipremnum Hanoman from Bali, Kujang, Prada, and Gandrung.

[@cyberblueangel]

I'd love to see a Pothos Rare Plant Index!

[@Jay-1987-]

Dear Kaylee, I have been taking care of an anthurium Cutucuense for about 1 1/2 years now. What I have learned from my "trial and error" experiences is that the cutucuense requires a change in temperatures from daytime to nighttime. During the day, it gets a maximum of 22 degrees Celsius at my place and 16-17 degrees overnight. Since I took it out of the "warm only" environment, I have had no problems with growth. One Anthurium that I think should also get more attention is the Pedatoradiatum. My absolute favorite at the moment.

[@orchids4256]

That little bit of pep talk at the end is one reason I enjoy your channel and am very happy to support you! Plants are plants, and you can like whatever ones you want. Rock out with your favorites and duck the haters. 🤘

[@yukiaditya7352]

Too many hybrids of papillilaminum here in Indonesia, the one is popular right now is Blue Papillilaminum. Dark with bluish tinge (kinda purplish though). Beautiful indeed.

[@patricksplantspaketho3760]

🌿😍🌿🤩🌿 Never had any anthurium ! Need to try one ! 🌿😲🌿 One of the most beautiful type of plants ever ! It's insane how a leaf can look like crystals of silver-veins ! 🌿🤩🌿😲🌿😍🌿

[@ApequH]

Just my opinion. Clarinurvium is the great, the gloss is just perfect and the veining is so nice

[@madyson9352]

An updated Hoya index would be lovely.

i would rather see indexes for other plant varieties first

Whooooa I usually don't have many of the plants as we scale your RPI, but I NEVER thought I'd have a plant in your Extremely Rare category! I love my Longissimilobum and am waiting patiently until I can get a SS as well!

[@zeahlessley6108]

Another recommended long boi: A. pallidiflorum! I have a couple and they grow very easily and become vigorous once they pick up steam, like many anthurium. They also have a nicely contrasting center vein and tend to be quite dark, akin to dark waroc

[@francinejeans1774]

Definitely scindapsus for the next rare plant index! Also thoughts on senecio for one? They have SUCH variety but not usually rare. I love them!

I love dark foliage. Can you do a video on your favorite dark plants? Maybe one in different price ranges?

[@ArthurGrey.]

I cannot put into words the excitement and happiness that I just got with you specifically bringing up Anthurium Andraeanum! I love it so incredibly much and it's the only Anthurium I've seen hardly anyone know the scientific name of. I've seen a few people hybridizing them over the past couple months, such as with Veitchii's, and I'm over the moon that it's finally getting a little love.

[@DerekandLia]

I got one of the chocolate/black ones and it’s gorgeous…even the leaves are darker!

Loved the "buy things because you want to" in the end

[@shelbygazzo1823]

A scandapsus plant index would be great! I do love the couple ones I have and it would be nice to learn more about them.

[@yukiaditya7352]

You would be excited that at least there are around 30 species of scindapsus available here in Indonesia…not counting the variegated ones. They are just beautiful…one of my very favorites of genus of all plants…. I have around 20 kinds myself.🥰🥰🥰🥰

I saw the Black Widow at the aroid show at Fairchild and OMFGOMFGOMFG it is literally the most beautiful plant I've ever laid eyes on. People just stood around staring at it with cartoon heart eyes. However gorgeous it looks in photos, it's a million times more beautiful in person.

Could u do a rare plant index of Caladium and colocasia please? It will actually spur up interest of coloured foliage plants which will open up a whole new market for this 👉🏻👈💪

[@knitwitchpgh]

Yess colocasia would be awesome

[@SuperUsername147]

I’ve been focusing on reducing my collection and haven’t looked into plant prices in a while. Shocked with how much clarinervium and crystallinums have come down!

[@tracyfrederick5606]

The flowering anthuriums are underrated and beautiful. I've got 7 ( maybe more) different colors. Easy and beautiful . Worthy of collecting. I enjoy them.

[@Rightbackatcha1313]

I've NEVER seen a clarenervium in a big box store. One would only hope🙏🏿

[@ranalilly761]

Most anthuriums are way above my budget so I love watching these videos. Recently acquired an Anthurium Balaoanum and so far it’s doing ok. It hasn’t tanked yet.

[@TamaraMcRill]

Ha -- dorrito definitely describes my queen rn! 😆 I'm definitely gravitating more towards the dark anthurium and the long bois. A caladium RPI would be awesome with spring coming since I like to chuck those outside. But my heart would love a scindapsus or hoya index. Have you done a colocasia video?

[@HolidayGlow]

Ahhh... those corrigated ones! Why must I love the ones that are so bloody tricksy to keep! Clearly I need to build a cloud-rainforest someday just for them. LOL

[@zeahlessley6108]

I have been growing several villenaorum for about a year or so, and I would say that they become darker/normal contrast when they get a bit larger and they tend to prefer lower light levels. They're quite robust, ship well, and have very thick leaves that can jump up in size quickly. If you want a low drama longer(ish..) velvety anthurium, this is the anthurium for you.

[@Natalia-ko3ny]

Since ecuagenera scaled up their sales it's hard to call any plant they are selling "commercially rare"..

[@botanicolesjungle5057]

HECK YEAH! Another rare plant index!!! Can't tell you how long I've been waiting for another one of these - and anthurium? I'm in love😍🌿

[@orchids4256]

Total random guess about why people don't grow the Veitchii as often is maybe they think the "abs" of the leaves means it's more of a corrugated plant, and since corrugated is picky, people avoid it. 🤷‍♀️

[@KayleeEllenOfficial]

That's actually a really really interesting point! You might have something there!

[@nientjew]

amazing vid as always. just wanted to say i love the eyeshadow!

[@Amanda-if7ey]

I love your lists because I learn about so many cool plants I've never seen before. I'd like to see an epipremnum rare plant index

[@SizzlingiceQueen]

I actually love my clidemioides. When I bought it, it was 1 leaf that fell off so I was left with a stump. I put it in water and let the sun do its work, and it started growing a very hardy leaf. Quite small, but very nice to look at on your coffee table once multiple leaves start popping up. :)

[@Kati-did]

Aw I wanted you to have podophyllum in there. It is so different than all the others. Such a great one! Thank you for what you say in the end. The rare only thing drives me nuts!

[@plantwhisperer2506]

completely agree on your assesment of clarinervium being a very promising (and underused) plant to breed with. Actually built up a collection of different anthuriums to work with clarinervium and forgetii. Fingers crossed i'll have some seeds growing this time next year :)

[@jamiehou9448]

Just wanted to mention incase you didn't know - clarinervium doesn't cross well with quite a lot of anthurium and I believe forgetii is on that list. I don't remember the specifics but clarinervium is a part of a sub group (sub genus? idk) of anthuriums from mexico I think and doesn't cross well with anything not in that group. Don't quote me on anything but please do some googlin!

[@plantwhisperer2506]

@@jamiehou9448 thanks :) yes, already figured clarinervium might be a bit of a tough one, as well as forgetii due to the way they protect the new leaf (if that makes sense) and the base of the leaf stem. Clari has the new leaf in a separate sheath, like villenaorum. Forgetii has it completey inside the last leaf, while the crystallinums got a little sheath at the base of the older leaf it emerges from once big enough. Know a few ways around some of those issues though, so i'll certainly have fun trying to go where others haven't gone before :)

Thanks so much for this vid, I love your rare plant indexes and Anthurium RPI was the one I was the most excited for! Still dying for a macro from the first time you showed one on your channel. Saw a couple other Anthurium I want to add to my wishlist as well (that are not out of my plant budget league lol). I second indexes on Scindapsus and also, Hoya! Oh also, would love a few more dish the dirt vids! They are so good!

Hi Fog & Fern, missed your posting

[@zeahlessley6108]

Cutucuense: they appreciate a LOT of light and cool nights if you can provide that. They grow really well for many of us in the Pacific Northwest in the states

[@addisonmay23]

Hi Kaylee! Love the video, as always! Crystallinium is my first and only anthurium and I love it, but man--every new leaf comes out with a small hole in the same spot and then it grows as the leaf gets bigger. I don't know what that's all about but otherwise it seems to be doing well!

[@arches00]

I love that you mentioned not buying something just because of the rarity…. Sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in the ‘flex’ but honestly one of my all time favs is Clarinervium. 🥰

[@haileyhuskey4179]

Me: idk I’m not an anthurium person After this video: $400 worth of anthuriums in my shopping cart

[@Ddavid97]

The A. clidemioides have the most amazing texture. Extremely rigid leaves anf very corrugated. I got mine autumn 2021, and it hasn't done jack shit. The seller told me it loves lower light and high humidity. A. cutucuense is from cloud forests, so they love high humidity, warmer during the day and colder during night (not sure exact temps)

[@Emfinity]

Wow perfect timing I just bought my second rare anthirium today!!!

[@tinliv315]

Amazing 😻 I definitely lean towards anthuriums but still love philodendrons too xx

RPI both on Caladiums and Scindapsus would be cool. Generally, you don't talk much about Caladiums in your videos, so I would really be interested what you come up with. 😀

[@PlantFriendDownTheStreet]

I have the longissimilobum (and a few others shown in this video) and I feature it on my channel a lot! They are pretty easy going and they need airflow over humidity. I successfully imported and acclimated mine and now it’s chillin in Lechuza pon.

[@jaywright514]

I have a couple of these and am seriously thinking of expanding my collection a bit. I knew and wanted Ace of Spades and the green Forgetii, but the one I would love to grow isn't on the list, Anthurium clavigerum! I don't know where it falls on the rarity scale, but on the scale of appearance, it's the top category. I first saw it at a botanical garden growing up a palm tree and several on 6 foot poles and fell in love. As for what to do next, scindapsis would be cool, but I would rather see one that people don't really realize has some rares. Sansevieria. There are a ton of D. trifasciata cultivars and several can be quite rare. There are also many species in cultivation, and again several can be pretty rare.

[@juelcastiel2016]

I’ve bought 2 queens. Both turned into stumps. Then rotted. I was heart broken. I finally have found a local one about an hour away. Hoping I can keep this one alive! My king is super easy. I’ve had him since 2019 and he is a bit of a slow grower but he takes neglect like a champ!

do they die for you or just don't grow? I noticed that Scindapsus don't really like soil, maybe apart the common ones like Exotica. To think about it it might be the reason why it's common :) My rarer Scindapsus grow very well in PON or moss but they need additional feeding and a trellis otherwise they only grow runners. It can be quite frustrating :)

[@yukiaditya7352]

@@horace6851 they love soil…they grow on soil first in the nature here in Indonesia…before they catch something to climb. They actually very versatile in terms of potting mix. Some of mine are grown in full living moss, water them often, they love it. Some grown in burnt rice hull mixed with bamboo humus, cocopeat, pumice, pine bark, zeolite, peatmoss…anything. Just take notice on the watering…the glossier ones loves more light rather than the velvety ones.

@@yukiaditya7352 are you growing them outside? Because you really cannot compare growing the plant outside and inside especially when we talk tropical place like Indonesia vs. our homes with low humidity.

OMG so I have no idea what it is but I am the worst with crystallinum, killed every single one I ever own, yet I manage to keep my regales alive which most people say are significantly harder, so weird! Also, I am one of the lucky ones to have a wendlingeri and I paid a pretty penny for it, but I think it actually is quite easy care and grows fairly well if given enough light and heat. The only thing I will say about it is that it is a bitch to propagate and takes forever to recover after taking a cutting!
