Rare Plant Index #2 | Alocasia | Uncommon to Extremely Rare Plants!

[@momsgreenhouse9306]

Please do not make your vids shorter! I love this series. I sit with a note pad and my wish list has become significantly longer lol. ❤

[@plantsandpiggies7758]

I do too! Please make your videos even longer! I love them. Thanks

[@julietteorwhateva2163]

lol I’m commenting a year later... I find them too long as well but what I do is I speed up the video, at 1.25 I still perfectly understand her. Try it! 😜

[@kristinkirgan3359]

Don't ever stop making these videos! They are amazing and yes make them longer! You're kick ass!

[@manuelakroft5716]

The dragon scale is to DIE for

[@rareplantsoslo6006]

Manuela Kroft i do have 2 dragon scale and there are so big now.😊

[@domsdadap7952]

very true... i love to hev one.

[@miyajones]

Manuela Kroft yessssss

[@heatherdix778]

I wish i could screen shot how the dragon scale was written on my wishlist lol. Hearts, exclamations, stars , and a drooly face 😂🤩❤

[@aylalamboglia8076]

Yessssss

[@danyhassig6497]

Love The Cuprea Red Secret . the color is a bit like a pearl effect. new leaves have a metallic look and older ones like leather

[@aliciaearnest4686]

This is so interesting to watch 4 years later. This has changed so much since. Now im on my way to see if you have an updated Alocasia index. They have to be my favorite type!

[@yeahivekilledthat719]

This is a really fun series. Length is about right but I would certainly watch longer videos. Appreciate the time and research you have done. Would like to see an index on calatheas/marantas. Or sansevieria. Actually, you could probably do an index on rare algae and I would certainly watch it. Thanks for great info!

[@ellalouise3800]

Make them longer!! I would love to settle in with a cup of tea and some knitting and listen to you talk about all these lovely plants ❤️

[@justcody4780]

I don't mind long videos. I actually enjoy them. Don't limit yourself. I love this series BTW, very original.

[@yolandamccrea5853]

Enjoy the series thank you always love seeing new planrs

[@ivyt.6863]

I have a black velvet. My aunt gave it to me and I didn't know the name until I watched this video. Thank you!

[@videosmister]

Can you believe that 2 weeks ago I found a beautiful Alocasia odora variegata and the seller had no clue it was a rare plant? She was just selling it as a Caladium. Well, it's beautiful in my balcony now, and I JUST found out she's putting off a new leaf. Yeah!

[@IAmMomhousekeeperinhartfordct]

Yes many plant sellers are not professional sellers they just get hired and train, they are in it for the money and not plant dedication or love, that is why they overwater plants. Smart!!!!!! Wish you and your plant baby the best, you were so lucky!!!!!

[@Masonsgreenhouse]

So jealous! I ordered one and it came destroyed 😭 I need to find a seller for them !

[@FearLess_SunKissedCaramel]

I just bought a huge Alocasia Odora Maui Splash for cheap. When I got there to pick her up. I couldn’t believe she was selling this beauty and no one had grabbed it before me! She was for me! Mines looks yours but she is green yellow lime green all in one. I have her on my page

[@NoticeMeSenpaiii]

We need an alocasia index part 2!! And 3, and 4... I want you to cover them all 😂

[@daliamagadan80]

The alocasia loco looks like the alocasia amazonica but only if it was made out of plastic and it got too close to a heat source and started to melt.

[@hollyaurelia8912]

Can you do one of these series on Hoyas? 😍 loving this series 😊

[@andrewwilson2705]

I’m trying to understand the liking in Hoyas. I’m new to this hobby so don’t know a whole lot yet but they seem pretty basic to me and are incredibly over priced IMO

[@hola-rk3lr]

@@andrewwilson2705 they are ridiculous overhype, I own one and I don’t like it, they are slow growers and the foliage reminds me of a succulent which I’m not a fan

[@EnchantedwithPoodles]

I LOVE what you’re doing with this “rare index” series. I watched the video and got all excited and then I watched it again and paused at many of the plants so I could try to find them. The graphic leaves with contrasting veins drive me crazy (in a good way). I’ve got to get them some how some way! Please make the videos as long as necessary because I am drinking them in. I can hardly wait for the calathia version, I’ll be over the moon. Thanks a million for all of the time and research you are investing for these videos. I’m so tickled that I found your channel. Well done!

[@KayleeEllenOfficial]

Thank You! Don't worry I will literally so this series until there are no plants left Lol! I plan on visiting Philodendron again too as I covered like 26 out of 400 of them LOL 😂

[@blackcanary3]

The zebrina sells at home Depot and Lowes in Syracuse NY for about 20$

[@wannabeportlandy2036]

YES there's a variegated stingray alocasia. We have one! Hello from the Philippines.

[@rareplantsoslo6006]

Wannabe Portlandy saan? omg excited nakong umuwi ng pinas. san pwede cxa mabili?

[@oh_emm278]

Anywhere in Philippines or mindanao ..

[@mirrors87]

I love long videos about plants🧡 Can watch it forever😊

[@Di_Salamander]

Actually in EU Zebrina is pretty common along with Polly and Stingray, at least I think so, since plant shops and online stores mostly offer those, but it doesn't matter much, they are f*in beautiful! I have Cuprea and Zebrina, and yes I definitely can see Cuprea growing on some other planet in background of xenomorphs. Stunning and actually easy plant, she forgives me some neglecting with no hard feelings.

[@filippa1434]

Glad that it's not only me, who was confused about the Alocasia Zebrina being rare XD they litterly have it in any market

[@lauramuller2741]

I just picked up an Alocasia 'Frydek' from Logee's in America and, yes, the leaves are velvety 😊 Great video!

[@KayleeEllenOfficial]

I'm jealous! I'm dying to find one of those! 😍

[@lauramuller2741]

Fingers crossed you find one and for a good deal 🤞🍀

[@kathybrintlinger9993]

The alocasia frydek is velvety. I have 2. I love these videos on rare plants! Thanks!🌱🌸😬

[@Avilov08]

I don't care if your videos takes sooo long to watch and took so much of my time only because you're the only content creator for the plant and plant care that really do well on it and explains truly informative and smart. Your pretty face is a plus I might add but overall you do well and I can't and I am certainly not complaining. Keep it up and more power. Subscribed now.

[@hannahblakeney]

My wish list is increasing exponentially because of your videos!

[@rebeccamyott7041]

Go for it girl - I can watch for hours. And often do back to back.

[@meghschildt]

Longer!!! Can't get enough of learning about new plants and I love this series

[@MsDevicious]

Yesssss - I've been waiting for this, haha. I love alocasia plants. So far I have a silver dragon, a red secret/cuprea and a dark green alocasia (dragon scale). The cuprea alocasia starts out with greenish leaves and then go to a burgundy silver like leaf. I adore it! I would love to get my hands on a black velvet alocasia!

[@MsDevicious]

Also, longer videos would be fine in my opinion. :)

[@haroldselim8963]

Alocasia loco is very common in the philippines . Some of those super rare alocasia are endemic to my country.

[@nekoneko1313]

Harold Selim does anyone sells them in nursery or stores? i mean here ib Philippines. i see some everywhere but i can't seem to find them for sale. i am thinking of buying 'gabi' and plant them myself XD i badly want one they are reaally an amzaing and beautiful plants. i love their massive leaves tbh.

[@maggiecarroll8997]

my alocasia frydek is my all time favorite plant! he just throws out leaves like nobody's business and looks good as hell while doing it

[@sunghoononice8796]

Do they go dormant every often? I’m planning on buying some

[@blehmeh2566]

How do you take care of him

[@PlantzNThings]

This plant Group is one of my Absolute Favorites. There is something about the leaves and the fast growth that bring me so much joy... I just ordered 5 more types to add to my garden this spring... not sure where they will go during the winter... A labour of love for sure :)

[@carolyn5486]

Man I don't know why but these are the most entertaining videos ever. I was waiting on tenterhooks for this 2nd one. Thanks! EDIT: PLEASE DO A LONGER VIDEO!!!

[@KayleeEllenOfficial]

Oh wow thank you so much 😍

[@Marimarrr]

I just bought my first alocasia and I was rewatching your videos. I forgot that alocasia zebrina was considered a rare plant 3 years ago and you now can see them even in Aldi 😅

[@maryantoinettebarachina6554]

The length of your videos are just perfect not so long but not so short just enough for me to sit a while and enjoy watching it ❤

[@mikebrosky795]

Never been to keen on alocasia but I'm starting to change my mind after watching this

[@julieseem7283]

best plant series, so great to see names on plantes I otherwise only have pictures from, LOVE it

[@SloaneRanger24]

As an information professional/librarian, I find it is my duty to remind you that if you are having trouble looking for the correct information on a particular plant, you can always visit your local library and ask a reference librarian.

[@ShellyAnnSmalling]

Make them as long as you like Kaylee. It's great fun watching them. And thank you for taking the time to research and share 💖💚👊. When I watch your videos it puts all types of thoughts in my head and they're all good.

[@hostronic]

Just got an Alocasia Frydek today from my local nursery and I’m sooo in love. 😍

[@Manuela-pv4nr]

I would definitely watch longer videos! So much fun while giving interesting info, thanks for all the research! I would love a video about Anthuriums and Calatheas And Cordyline!

[@Shawnasart76597]

I just found a Frydek at my local plant shop and I grabbed it to be my first Alocasia. It doesn't have velvety leaves, but they are shiny almost silvery in the sun. Beautiful plant!

[@heathercalkins]

I would enjoy longer videos. I find them so informative and enjoyable.

[@LifeInABoxorigin]

I don't know why alocasia cuprea look like how they look, but in person it makes my mouth literally water. 😍

[@emmywang346]

I can confirm for you, the alocasia Frydeck is SUPER velvety and one of my biggest pride and joys in my small NYC apartment. At the moment I have 5 beautiful leaves.

[@blehmeh2566]

Any advice on keeping it happy?

[@emmywang346]

@@blehmeh2566 no direct sunlight. Not near heater or draft. Keep temp of your room at 69-75F. Have a moisture thermometer that always reads level 2-3. When watering, make sure the water drains well. Let the plant become severely root bound before reporting. When repotting, don’t repot in a drastically bigger pot. Also, soil. Soil for a frydeck is super important. One part coco coir, dash of worm castings, dash of bonsai pebbles. And humidity! Have your humidifier close by, but not on top of your frydeck. Take my advice seriously, because I have 6 different Alocasias and they are thriving.

[@TeedarkAngel]

Excellent!!!! I appreciate your research and although a 20 min video is the ideal length, a very informative video that is longer is not a chore to sit through. I love your work!!! Excellent!!

[@milamilamila9947]

I picked up a baby Alocasia zebrina from my local hardware store about 5 months ago-I didn’t even know what it was at first I just liked the stems on it. I haven’t seen one since and I don’t think the hardware store knew it was a rare plant because I got it for a total steal of $10. 😅 Its grown so much since I got it-more then double its size already! I can’t wait until summer to see how big it gets. 😍

[@FirstLast-yq9wl]

Got my first Alocasia after seeing one at my lil sisters place, the black velvet. Just looking around for care tips and info. Really want the silver and dragon scale but want to know I can care for them before I grab more! Thanks for the video!

[@cheryl5763]

Longer videos are best in my opinion. Love your videos. I’m actually quite afraid of alocasia plants, because of their care needs. I purchased an alocasia Amazonica/polly and it’s gone into dormancy 😟 I know it’s normal but it’s alarming too. Bring on spring!

[@janiecantu1025]

Hi iam so happy to see all this beautiful plants there all so beautiful I love all of them I wish I could have one of them at list but im still looking for some hopefully I'll find at list 3 of them I love plants well thank u for showing ur videos I in joy it 💖

[@charliewesterfield5262]

The Frydek is absolutely gorgeous the contrast between leaf and vein is just... wow

[@charliewesterfield5262]

“Variegated” refers to plants with multiple colors on the leaf. Zebrina reticulata is a great example. It is technically already variegated. There may be another type of variegation with different colors.

Very nice and informative video. I really like these series and the length is perfect. To be honest it's so interesting that i didn't notice how long it was . I look forward to your next video. Oh by the way I have one of those Alocatia cubra Red which is in fact dark magenta and I love it. Thanks for sharing.

[@beyourself7428]

From a very experienced/reputable exotic plant seller: Cuprea will be more red/stay red longer when the humidity is constantly above 80% or even higher. A very high humidity is not a must for its survival/well being, but is the key factor for maintaining the red color.

[@mariedelfauro9208]

New Subbie, I just found you. I just purchased my 2nd online plant ever, an Alocasia Black Velvet. My first one was a chocolate orchid (blooms actually smell like chocolate) supposedly. I bought it for my mother and it hasn't yet bloomed. It was just a tiny baby when it was mailed to her. Hopefully it will bloom next year, 2 years later. Anywho, enough blabbering 🤣. Looking forward to learning from you.
