I think you've mentioned aquariums in the past. My recommendation for rooting most cuttings that have no arial roots with ease is to let them callus over then hang them in the back of a planted and stocked aquarium, and they take right off (grain of salt, it works for me)😊

[@OhHeyItsDanny]

I’ve also seen people call them philodendron black pink 😬

[@pedrozinn3227]

I was literally talking about this yesterday with a friend who owns a plant shop. In Brazil, only now is Raphidophora tetrasperma being mass-produced, so it's coming to garden centers. And one close to me posted the plant with the name "Philodendron minima"...And I hate that because the name came from the producer. The company that produces these plants obviously knows the correct name, WHY would you name it wrong? And then I went on Reddit to check because I literally thought "well maybe it changed taxonomy" even tho that made no sense, and I found a post of someone saying "Hey, I bought this Philodendron minima and its looks like my Raphidophora, anyone knows the difference?" and people were saying it was the same and the person bought it thinking it was something else... I know it's a well-known plant, but some people don't know the subject so well, especially when these plants start to become available to a bigger "audience" when it goes to garden centers... I wish people would stop making up names...

[@mollusc3125]

Here in the UK, raphidophora tetrasperma is more often than not sold as “monstera minima” and it pisses me right off.

[@MilkBreakMinecraft]

I work at a garden center in the Netherlands and this drives me crazy. Thing is most customers don't care, and I guess the nursery figures Rhaphidophora isn't as catchy as Monstera...

[@Schumeyyy]

Same here, another often seen mistake is Scindapsus and Epipremnum switched..

[@TinyHyena1967]

At the local plant shops here in the States, I've seen the R. Tetrasperma named Swiss Cheese Plant, Monstera Minima, Mini Monstera, Split-Leaf Monstera, and Split-Leaf Philodendron. I also saw somebody in my area selling them as a Philodendron Hybrid and charging $100 apiece. When I stumbled across their ad, they had about a half dozen clippings for sale, and had already sold two to some unsuspecting people, unfortunately. I told the seller that they had the plant labeled way wrong, and they basically told me to go away and leave them alone. So they knew what the plant actually was, but were more interested in trying to scam people who were new to the plant hobby. So sad and disturbing.

When we bought our first flat we only had a bed and chest of drawers. Our kitchen table was a moving box for months.

[@thebeauceronboys9397]

One of my favorite movies too, coming up on a year since I lost my best dog Atreyu. 😩

[@horace6851]

I completely agree with the naming part. Except for some particular plants :) and I mean Pink Princess here. It is a bit like with Thai, we used to get very dark burgundy PPP, now there is a lot of light colored, candy pink PPP which some sellers call marble and some just call PPP. I don't know if that's another hybrid or a mutation in TC but they present differently than the old cultivar. And I wish someone actually took care and register those cultivars under different names. I see the old, dark ones sold as "Dark Cherry" but that's also misleading because someone can think it's a completely new cultivar akin to Orange Princess (which I actually find ugly). So yeah... the whole royal philo hybrids family is such a mess, White Knights used to be green with white stripes, now they have burgundy stems, White Princesses used to be the ones with pink stems, White Wizars used to be all green but now they have white stripes. And don't start me on Red Anderson, that thing is sooo variable. Are they all just one plant with slight variations or truly different hybrids...? Who knows. I don't and that bugs me :)

[@fwizzybee42]

I can say I bought a PPP over a year ago from a local bargain place, $30, TC teenager I’d say. It was very light pink at the time and the weeks before the plants the same place had were almost white. Now that it’s grown up the pink is full pink. It really seemed like it was a maturity thing. I can imagine ones from cuttings are always full pink but it seems like maybe the TCs take a little while to come into their own. Heck without seeing a seedling, it’s possible all PPPs do this.

[@girlbythebeach]

I bought my house nearly four years ago. I’m still trying to pick paint colours for the bedrooms, and my dining table still doesn’t have chairs. I’ll get there eventually. So will you. I figure there’s no rush, and I’d rather do it once and do it right

Looking forward to next week's content.

[@suerivest3651]

I have a ghost that is doing that right now, but it didn't before, but I had to cut it and change its spot , which made a difference in my plant. ,so I see exactly what your saying on mine. The seller I bought it from actually has one that does the mint thing as well and has said the same thing. Maybe a combo of genetics and conditions ? I am glad you do this content, and say how it is, I think its very beneficial for people to realize this kind of thing can happen and be aware, esp with other plants too that are thrown out the same way. They do charge a lot more here for it too , but because | had this piece of advice previously, knew I was saving some cash not buying it and could try to see what I could potentially accomplish with mine. Thank you

[@ArthurGrey.]

I don't know much about Crème Brûlée, but I keep seeing tons of people saying that it's a hybrid between an Albo and a Thai Constellation, with a few people (and some reputable shops) saying that it's a mutated Thai Con. I'm hoping there will be accessible information on it soon about what it really is. The community can't even seem to agree on who coined the name. Also, while trying to find more information on Crème Brûlée I found a Monstera 'Thai Constellation Platinum' or 'Double Mint' that some sellers are claiming to be the *rarest mutation*. 🙃

I don't know too much about searching for plants for "choosen people", but their behavior is a whiff of snobbery for me.

No you’re totally right. Crime brûlée they’re really trying to make it seem like it’s worth triple as much. It’s just highly variegated. Pink princess black cherry. Worth triple!? No. Gloriosum Zebra? It’s growing conditions. It’s annoying. They don’t just charge more they charge double or triple or more. It’s crazy.

[@chelseatomkowiak4207]

I’ve been wondering about Gloriosum Zebra. I have one that was sold to me as “zebra” and when I compare it to the Gloriosum at my local plant shop, mine definitely has way more white in the veining. Is it different enough that I think it deserves its own special name? Probably not lol. I do prefer it over the regular Gloriosum though 😂

[@clarapodhany9218]

Okay, so this is only what I’ve read but my understanding is that Thai “Crème Brûlée” was a mutation of a regular batch of Thai, producing a more creamy white variegation than the standard yellow you see in Thai’s. True “Crème Brûlée” would have to be a propagation/clone of that one specific plant.

[@zaksaintm2802]

In regards to the naming stuff. I think if you in the descriptions clarify like you do your mysterious dark boi. In regards to the Thai Crème Brûlée. I think it depends on a case by case. Can you consistently say (at time of sale) say this is different and have evidence of the differences (this can be from more mature specimen) but when it’s a variegate from TC and is just presenting different and is sold from TC giving it a special name is BS. Call it a sport of Thai or whatever it is.

[@A.A.Rae-Rae]

There's a shop here (US) who I see selling on all the usual online vendor sites/apps (they have a brick & mortar somewhere, but Idk where) and, I shit you not, this person gives each plant an ACTUAL NAME... Not a market term... Real.👏 Person.👏 Names.👏 Ish like a Monstera Albo named 'Monica' another one named 'Alissa' and maybe like a Frydek called 'Thomas' or whatever else like that... (I just made those up as an example, but it literally IS exactly like that) Sometimes I see listings where she uses famous names, but each and every one has a name, and each is advertised as though it's a special, one-of-a-kind plant (and, of course, they're priced as such as well...) Drives me effin' crazy -- takes the fake-names-for-the-sake-of-implied-exclusivity thing to a whole new level of mind blowing(/numbing)

[@justynagluszek5267]

Well, I'm like in the middle; if the name is changed a bit because the plant really looks different, I guess, it's fine. Quite helpfull actually, unless it's made up like the florida ghost mint crap 😅 It makes it easier for the customer to know what they want - I don't really like ppp but I love ppp marble type of variegation. Yeah, it's the same plant, sure, but to me it just is much better looking one and If I have to pay a bit more to get these precisely marbly genes - so be it. Same about Thai Creme Brulee - i think u shouldnt be concerned about naming it differently than under the name you have bought it, cause as you said, it's just thai with more variegation BUT yeah, thats the point! It is differently variegated than classic plant of this type! Small, tiny tiny spots all around the leaf, dense, and making the leaf looking like... more vivid, sunny? I have classy Thai and I'm looking for creme brulee variegation type now. Cause... it's just so pretty, for me😊
