Beautiful and impressives plants !!! My question is : will they be able to thrive in the normal conditions of a house ? My subject of concern is the high risq of introducing exotic and invasive pests hidden in the plants and in the material used to do the parcel.

[@hblack4857]

Hi; I just got you Thursday reminder to water my plants, and it made me laugh out loud, because I've just gone about and checked the assortment with the moisture-meter I just got in the mail today, and watered a couple with the Water Conditioner added(I think this one bottle will last me at least a year!) Thank you for quality content and plant help. And congratulation on finding a loophole for the Monstera Alba(because, remember, you didn't buy it, it were given to you!) :)

[@tildatillman]

I would love to see an update in a few months to see if they all survives and thrives living in a normal house! 😊

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

That's the plan!

[@ebinom8112]

You are fortunate indeed to receive such rare and wonderful plants. I'm surprised to see they all arrived safely. I love the creative way they were packaged. Enjoy! 😍😎

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Yes, thank you

[@emmaplaysgreen2849]

You're the 3rd or 4th youtuber who I've watched doing an unboxing video with plants given from Aroid Market, they're obviously in the middle of a heavy marketing campaign - which is fair enough, if thats what works for them! I have to say though, you seem to have been the one who was most blessed by the whims of the shipping gods! I think everyone else had at least one or two plants that had suffered some obvious damage - more than needing a little root trimming - due to the temperature fluctuations experienced during shipping, especially if there were unexpected delays, and one even had to have plants resent, as I remember. Those plants look fantastic! I need to look up some of those philodendrons as I've never heard of them. I really loved the Florida Beauty, I definitely prefer it to the Florida Ghost. That anthurium is stunning as well, actually they all are! I want to also add my vote to those asking for follow-ups on how you potted them up and how you rehabbed them to your home environment. It will be really helpful and very educational for those of us who have never done anything like that before!

[@painterlynne]

They really wowed you! Congrats on your haul!

[@HipyoTech]

I ordered quite a few plants from these guys and had a lot of issues (In the US) Held at customs twice, tons of melted and root rotted plants, multiple failed replacement orders :( To their credit they did issue partial refunds and try, but definitely proceed with caution.

[@Celxomae]

This is why id probably never import its quite the gamble on how they arive 😢

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Only one of them had some rot on the roots. I've since read it's fairly common with importing

[@butterflymuse2707]

I have never bought from Aroid Market but I've had great luck with Ecuagenera. Both regular Ecuagenera in Ecuador and Ecuagenera in the US

For the US viewers and the curious from their website and some are on sale: Monstera Albo White Tiger - $119 Monstera Karstenianum Varigated - $27 Philodendron Whipple Way Variegated - $109 Philodendron Florida Beauty - $30 Anthurium Dark Mama - $165 Philodendron Pink Princess Black Cherry - $40 Philodendron Melanochrysum Variegated - $67 Anthurium Silver Blush - $29 Bonus - they have a variegated Anthurium Silver Blush for the low, low price of $2300 😂

Holy moly, those prices!

[@Latayla]

Let me go see what the variegated silver blush looks like. I’ll keep it at looking because- holy moly 💸

🫣😩😳

[@1faithchick7]

You forgot to add the shipping. Which can be $50-100.

[@horizon319]

True but shipping is free if you spend $600+. Lol which is also just a bit insane to me.

[@aishaalkhaldi1474]

soo happy for you with these plants .. enjoy 🍀

[@Latayla]

How nice of them to send you that. I wonder if they have an Anthurium dark Dada to go with the dark mama? 🤔 Now you finally have an Albo. Albo “white tiger” is just an Albo. The “white tiger” is a marketing name. Pink princess “black cherry” is the same. It’s a pink princess. They tissue cultured the highly variegated pink princess for a better batch of plants. The “black cherry” is a marketing name. You can also find them under Galaxy,bubble gum and a host of other names. Pink princess do get dark burgundy patches here and there and the foliage does appear very dark as it matures and is in the right lighting situation. Karstenianum = kar sten ee AY num. Common name = Monstera Peru. I’ve seen a lot a people complain about the variegation “melting”. But it is usually when there are large patches of variegation like ‘half moons’ or if the variegation isn’t surrounded by a bit of green. I hope you have better luck. Even if it turns out to be a Melano-crisis 2.0 type of situation…we’ll still learn from it. Good luck with your new gorgeous plant babies.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

😂

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Thanks for the tips!

[@kellygater3996]

Would love to see a followup as well!

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Sure

[@SparkleInMoonlight]

They sent you really expensive plants. The plants arrived in better shape than I´d expect after 2 weeks. I hope the plants, esp. their roots, are doing fine - please make an update later on how they are doing. I´m only little suprised that you didn´t put them right into water, but probably we only didn´t see that.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

I did for a night and then potted up

[@BritInvLvr]

I follow Leafing Around and she is in Asia. Those plants are expensive and rare. I hope they grow well for you.

[@yaldashahidi5415]

Love your channel Mr Sheffield! What a lovely collection of plants to recive ... quite expensive though when I checked their website! Each plant is hundreds of pounds, even with a discount code! Would love to see a follow up video of planting them in their new homes :) I Guess they can all quaranteen together? 😁

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Will do one

14:56 those leaves!!!!🤩🤩

[@hemidog1982]

holy moly they're expensive. at least $20 more per starter plant and some of the mature plants up to a hundred plus dollars more then the 5 shops I normally use. I hope they stay healthy and are worth it.

[@user-gc2jy5dh9j]

Lucky you, Mr. Scheffield!😊Such expensive plants to be given😮😮😮Good luck w them and waiting for updates!👍👍😁

[@anniefraser2599]

Out of my plant budget, but those Aroidmarket are absolutely beautiful!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏🤗

Looks like a bunch of us are going to have to settle for being plants aunts and or uncles.

so beautiful ! I can't wait to see how they do !

[@elliehart-2point0]

What a lovely exotics haul, Mr. Sheff. Thank you for sharing the unboxing! I always enjoy and learn from your content: your sense of humor, plus your willingness to share the ups and downs of plant parenting so honestly. Including the fungus gnats and the Sheffield bin. Please keep up the great work! Best to you and your family.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Thank you kindly

[@sahandmahdavi6134]

How excited you are 🎉😊

[@mwacks2011]

Lovely plants! Please do follow up videos to show how you potted and quarantined them, and how they’re doing! 🪴

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Will do

My gosh, those plants are gorgeous! I'm so jealous :D

[@shmpooch]

5:10 the second monstera looks exactly like my variegated peru. Such a slow grower and keeps throwing out runners. Love to see how you get it to thrive

[@Stannington]

I've always steered clear of buying plants online, but recently I bought a Kentia Palm and was pleasantly surprised

[@YonkersNY3636]

FYI, I've purchased live plants on Etsy with great success, and the customer service is always superb because they really appreciate your business.

[@SaltyGal4life]

Wow! You must be living well my friend! What a lovely gift to receive!! I am enjoying my black cherry as it is beautiful and a good grower in a warm environment. I’m truly thrilled for you!! Thank you for the discount code! You are quite the salesman!!❤

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Thanks for watching 😁

[@jylromain6439]

My favorite is the Philodenedron Florida Beauty. It looks like a deranged Oak tree. I hope it does well.

[@nisar8009]

Those are absolutely gorgeous! What luck! I would die for some of those plants!

[@funonvancouverisland]

7:43 my favorite 😃

[@butterflymuse2707]

I gave up on my Melanocrisis man, I tried so hard to grow that plant and it just insisted on trying to die. So I was like fine, you don't like me, I don't like you, boy bye. Your plants came in really great shape! I look forward to an update!

[@GreenWitch1]

What lovely gifts Richard! Im jealous. Please do a follow up in a few weeks to let us know how they’re doing 😊

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Will do!

[@JuanellHopper]

Those are some pretty plants. I think I would quarantine them a while. I wish you had let us see the potting up. 😊

[@sandyloyst1811]

I want to see the potting up also and listen to his charming voice.

[@Lilithliin]

What lovely additions to your plant family!

[@painetdldy]

time for some new shelving. gorgeous plants!

[@TruthWillSetYouFree832]

Just seeing the title made me think about how a lot of old trees ended up cut down all over the place here with the possible infestation of the emerald ash borer, an insect native to NE Asia. 😲

[@TruthWillSetYouFree832]

Those are gorgeous plants! It seems that the company knew what you'd like. I was excited to rescue a store plant today and it's hopefully on its way back to life again. It's an annual, but I'm keeping it indoors as a houseplant. It's got thicker, waxy leaves like the zz, and it has vines that flower, so we'll see how long it lasts. First time bottom watering, too, just to rehydrate it because I could tell that it needs a larger pot and also seems hydrophobic.

[@Alwaysherethere]

Wow! The plants look so healthy! You need to get the Florida Ghost to go along with the Florida Beauty!❤❤❤😊

[@rossalyntownsend9535]

Just been watching a program on mosquitoes, and they can come in packages so have a fly spray to hand 😂

[@mm6705]

wow, you made out! What a lot of plants! I am so surprised how nice those plants looked after two full weeks!

As per the linked website on the 26th of June '24 : Monstera abla white tiger : 119$ Monstera karstenianum: 10 to 39$, depending on size and variegation Philodendron whipple way: 109$ Philodendron florida beauty: 30$ (reduced from 40$) Philodendron pink princess x dark cherry: 40$ (down from 79) Philodendron melanochrysum variegated: 67$ (down from 79) Anthurium dark mama: 165$ (down from 189) Anthurium silver bluch (ex. mature): 69$

ANTHURIUM KING OF SPADES VARIEGATED on the Aroid Market website is $10,099. That’s more than the down payment on my house! 😮

[@christineroberts9780]

[@jacquelinebouldin8191]

I've bought some really nice plants from there.🙂

[@kjudestevens1519]

@christineroberts9780 Get ready to drain your savings 😉😅

[@anndwandner3664]

It’s amazing how well these beautiful plants arrived. Enjoy your fabulous gift. Great advertising for this company.

[@lindaedwards4632]

That was an amazing assortment of plants 👍 For the plants sake when you take them out of their substrate it would be good to put them directly into water to rehydrate. 😀🇨🇦

[@Erin__D]

The karstenianum otherwise called “Peru” is a gorgeous plant. Slower growing and don’t like to be overwatered. You can tell by the leaves that they hold their water longer than a typical monstera. They need a good amount of light or else they will put out runners (it looks like you have one now) but I prefer to trim those back and hope for more branching off. It’s one of my most favourite plants in my collection!

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Thanks for the tips

[@v_kram]

Hi! Not sure if somebody already mentioned this in the comments, but you probably have to chop the Monstera Karstenianum (Peru) as it is pushing a runner. Regular green ones are super slow growers, and the variegated ones would be slower. It will easily be few weeks to even few months after your chop for the plant to activate a node, but once it does, then it'll grow at a good pace. You could prop the runners in moss. Good luck.

[@SuperSwissalps]

i'm envious 🙂

[@Peleski]

Sadly, we can't order plants from OS in Australia. There would be far more than "a few hoops". We often can't even send them interstate.

[@joycerobbins7093]

What a gift!!!

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Thanks for watching 😁

[@bethb7973]

I’d love to see a follow up of how you took care of them immediately after unboxing and how they are faring along the way. I haven’t had much with buying plants on line. Nice video as always!

I ordered from The Next Gardener and they are only a days drive from me. It took a week and a half and my plants were dead. It was a pretty big order. This is amazing.

[@discingaround]

I just got done watching a video about your plant collection where you said you don't care about rare plants. I'm interested to see your journey with these plants and see what you do!

Fun video, love the unboxing. You received beautiful plants, now you need to find a place a put them all.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Thanks!

[@jackrice2770]

I should add that, for the US, I've had good luck with two orders for plants from Home Depot online. I got a Jasminium sabac and a Philodendron birkin at good prices and both plants arrived in excellent shape and were as pictured. The selection of house plants is much greater than you'll find in the store and in both cases shipping was free. I would also mention Lowe's. In the store they have a small section of $2.50 plants. They're just rooted cuttings, and the selection is limited to the fairly common types. These mostly come unlabeled except for generic "green foliage plant' although most are readily recognizable. I'm fine with these, as a lot of the pleasure for me is watching the babies grow and thrive (well, usually.) They also have a 'hospital' section with distressed plants, in many cases they just need a good drink and some TLC. Years ago it seemed you could find common houseplants being sold almost everywhere, but now, not so much. If the Ikea store in my area was closer, and easier to get to, I'd try there. Ikea doesn't seem to be interested in online sales, however. Anyone else got tips for where to find pushers...er....retailers for houseplants? Got to keep the monkey happy!

[@jacquelinebouldin8191]

😂

[@ohnoyce]

I just received my Monstera Delicioso that I ordered through Target. A Glorious specimen, about 3 feet tall, with beautiful adult leaves approximately 12 inches wide. There's 2 well developed plants in the 9 inch grower's pot it arrived in. There is 1 leaf that snapped at it's base that appears to be holding its own. There are 2 new leaves that have about 1/8 rot damage- assuming from humidity/darkness of transit. They were almost completely unfurled when it arrived. All in all, saying I'm pleased with the purchase would be a gross understatement. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase again in the future.

[@vickykent353]

Hello, fellow plant lovers. I want to mention that I have purchased many a very happy and healthy plant from Facebook's Marketplace. I've even found one that will ship to me! I've gotten five or six wonderfully healthy babies from her. All in all, very good prices. Price above your budget? Move on to the next one. The selection of plants is amazing. Keep an eye out regularly because the plant you skipped over because the price was too high will likely be found shortly down the road at a much better price. 😊 ❤

[@CheapExplorer]

i feel excited while watching coz i've never tried ordering plants online or having plants shipped to me. i dunno, i feel bad for plants wrapped and cramped in a dark box. i always go to a garden or plant stores when i want to get some. i'm glad your plants fared very well considering the length of travel, ID to UK.

[@iRedPlants]

I’m glad this shop sent you all those beautiful healthy plants (I skipped a heart beat when I saw the filo florida.. 🥰). The same day I opened my rare snake plant bundle I got from eBay for £13+small postage fee 😍 For the same price i paid for the snakes I would buy aroids too but i must admit i checked the Asian website and that shop is highly overpriced. Cannot wait to see a similarly funny and educational video on the update. I love the intro in this video, would love to see more intros in the future 🥰 Much love, stay awesome 🌸🌹🥀

Immaculate haul Mr. Sheffield! Excited for your Albo. I wasn't in love with mine when I originally brought it in but wheeewwwwwww boy did it grow on me in a big way 🥰 & your florida beauty is INSANE. Can't wait to see the progress on the anthuriums too. You were truly blessed by the Plant Gods this day!

[@ghengis430]

I felt as excited as you appeared to be ! What a wonderful haul. I got a box of plants from a UK grower the other week, the yodelling delivery was 2 days late and 2 were dead. Yours trumped mine. ( think they travelled from Yorkshire , and I'm on the south coast) better off ordering from Asia, as long as it's not the yodelling lot.

[@debrastocks1710]

Quite ahaul of plants. Please do an update after they have had some time to settle into their new home

[@sheilacasper2030]

Looks like you got a nice bunch of plants.

[@ByTheSeatOfMyPlants-ri4qk]

I've ordered from them I'm I'm canada things went well Before you repot anything put them in water for a few days at least to rehydrate the roots you'll have far better luck acclimating them that way Sometimes there is a decline but 90% of the time they bounce back well They are lovely Enjoy the adventure 😊

I love watching video hosts opening multiple plants. There are 2 others doing this but with succulents. So much fun. Merry X'mas! Uh, where is Mrs Scheffield letting you put all of these plants?? Oh!! I think she wants a bigger house! I believe the plants are shipped dry to avoid rot. I hope you will quarantine them for awhile. I did not know plants could be sent across international borders.

[@old-ben9651]

Good to see that you've got some more Philodendron in the collection. That Florida Beauty is just that! Another stunner (imo) to consider is Dieffenbachia 'Reflector', it's another that looks luminescent in certain light.

[@YonkersNY3636]

Wow!! I am so jealous! May I suggest sometimes mentioning if a plant is pet safe? I have a separate room for my plants that are not safe for my two feline fur balls.

[@allonewordcaps]

Wow! Can’t wait for an update when you say how well well they are doing! (Not sarcastic just hopeful) They are so beautiful. Some of them have really large leaves. I hope you have lots of good spaces for them. I think you received a Florida ghost. So beautiful. All the best love the video.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Thank you 😊

Gorgeous plants! Loved seeing them, and adding to my wish list. 🌱 You didn’t add any of the links to your other videos, if you want to add to comments, etc. Plants in the dark, and …the most $ of your plants, maybe? Anthuriums?

[@jackrice2770]

Explored their website. They have a lot of plants that aren't super-expensive, but there's a catch...(isn't there always?)....Shipping costs. Now, I get it. There's a lot of expensive customs stuff around international plant shipping, and of course, you can't ship via slow boat, so the shipping charges are high. A $40 plant was going to cost another $40 for shipping....and that's way above my financial pain threshold. Sad, 'cause I'd love to get some of these really nice plants....but either I've got to hit the lotto or some unknown rich relative is going to have to leave me a fortune. Maybe I could start my own plant channel on KZbin, then get promos from....Nah! Let Mr. Sheffield do all the work....he's earned the occasional big score.

I thought it was one thing to see a pink princess at Walmart, my jaw dropped when I saw a monstera albo the other day. Of course it wasn’t the standard $15-$20, more like $50. (Hello shoplifting or plant mutilation) I think the prices are about to go down on those ones.
