there's an editing mistake when showing the var. micans clip, you've added the congo audio to it.

I don’t want to be annoying and pedantic but also Congo was spelled “Gongo”. I love Kaylee’s videos so I just wanted to point it out in case she interested in editing out these errors and not pointing it out in a main comment for everyone to see.

Hey, Kaylee! Slight oopsies on 24:03 on Variegated Philodendron Micans, you used the Variegated Philodendron Green Congo audio. Had not seen anyone mention it and just so you could double-check! 🤍

I was about to mention this as well. ^^^

[@kalesee]

True!

[@sunflowerhill4349]

yes, I'm only mentioning it as the var micans is my FAVOURITE plant at the momen, I trust Kaylee Ellen's words, so I'd love to see the var micans section :) :) :)

[@PlantFriendDownTheStreet]

Did anyone else notice that the audio for the variegated green Congo was also put over the variegated micans?

[@tamtrangduong3626]

Yes! I was scrolling the comment section to see whether someone else noticed.

[@ChadGardenSinLA]

The first time she said, "'congo", I thought the variegated micans had another name, but then she said "green congo" - so I got super confused... until she got to the next plant - the variegated green congo -lol-

Kaylee said if $600 is too much for you keep watching, then showed multiple 4 figure plants 😂

“Mint” is usually used to refer to a NO ID form of Monstera. It fenestrates and grows differently from both large form and small form. There are indeed small and large form deliciosa (notice the named species) with “mint” variegation, but Mint NoID is the expensive plant and the money maker.

[@penelope6579]

Yes, all of this. When just “mint” is used it usually means Mint Monstera Noid, which is an intermediate form with deep fenestrations that develop faster. The variegation has shown some stability too, with leaves developing more intense variegation with the age of the plant. Large form mint that has a similar variegation pattern, and is quite expensive itself, but true “mints” can be recognized my the leaf shape and growth. MonsteraX has some great information on the differences and how to spot each with visuals.

[@juli.strange9988]

Wow I would love to read more about it

[@Plantbliss]

I’d definitely love to see a lower priced version with plants in the range of Thai contstilations and Florida beautys

I'm a collector from the US. I agree with everything except the Thai Constellation, they are popping up all over the place here from tissue culture. I'm not we'll versed in tissue culture, but many of the TC thais' seem totally viable and produced at a non collector/seller rate. I still love them though.

[@PeckmasterK]

So I have an obsession with philodendron Serpens and have been wanting a fuzzy plant rare index, but in the mean time some of mine seem to be red and some green. Has anyone seen this or do you know why the new leaves on a few of my specimens may be starting off with pink or burgundy leaves? I’ve gotten them from six sellers and I’d say two are definitely coming in with red leaves

[@danisanyn27]

I have seen people selling a "Serpens green" form. So maybe there are two forms?

[@JessicaJones-me6sp]

El Choco is at the very top of my wishlist, followed by the Florida Beauty. 😊💚 Both for my personal collection.

[@Shniedelwoodz]

The important part is to actually have the money to spend and lose cause this stuff definitely isn't "just get a loan, let it grow and regain capital within a few months"-territory. It's alive which means it can die and so does the investment with it.

[@justineara5785]

Ohhh what a great topic to cover this week ! Happy Friday 🍃🍃

Feeling kinda validated - choco red is my #1 favorite baby in my collection, and Florida beauty has been at the top of my wishlist for at least a year. Nice knowing I have market-stable tastes 😂

[@lucyhyde8171]

Don't forget the beauty too!

[@_hazplants]

Whenever I watch your videos, I thank God, I‘m not into Aroids. It would be my financial sink of Titanic, as most, if not all of the species shown today look magnificent at least and would pop up on my wishlist for sure. What I am into is your well-researched background information, and I know by personal experience, how backbreaking research on rarities sometimes gets. Huge respect for this and thanks for the great entertainment! ✌️

[@codelicious6590]

I think the Burle Marx is my fave from this list. Beautiful little plant. The Choco Red is crushable for sure too though.

[@calamondiin]

my thai was a great investment. got it for $300 a few years ago and sold it for $750 this year! had no damage, required minimal care. not bad imo

[@jenniferjsaracino]

I have a beautiful Florida beauty! The problem is I don’t want to cut it! 😭 it’s just too gorgeous to chop up! I’ve recently got a second one, so I’m less scared to cut my big girl now. But I want to horde all the pretties for myself 😂

[@leas.8603]

I'm the same. And even if I propagate (last time I broke a leaf by accident) I only give to friends. No stress with shipping and stuff like that.

Ecuagenera sells el Choco red for cheap…that’s the only one I’m confused about in this lsit

[@Empress_Moth]

I just got an El Choco Red this past week for my birthday! I got really lucky and got mine for $90, its a rooted mid cutting with 3 leaves on the cutting, and a new growth point with 1 big, new leaf and another on the way. It has tons of good aerials and a new growth point emerging on the original node. So once it settles after a few weeks I'm gunna chop and root the top, then let the original node grow out its 2nd growth point to use for props to sell. Really excited to grow it, its SO pretty and I'm glad I watched your videos and found out about it. Its everything I love about P. micans and MORE.

One thing to be careful about - juvenile Snowdrift looks very similar to Whipple Way. I was surprised to see it, but with high light the new leaves come pink and the shape is almost the same. So if anyone is planning to buy a Whipple Way please be careful.

[@michaela467]

Hey from Germany! We don't really use small/ large form terms with the deliciosa and I cant find much info on it. They're always just sold as monstera deliciosas. I would be so thankful if you could make a video explaining or anyone in the comments could enlighten me. I want to grow a big boy like yours on the wall for example and I have a young plant that's starting to fenestrate at home, but of course I'd like to know if it's a small or large form!🤗

[@kjerstiva]

Yes!! I also would love a video on how to spot the difference. In Norway it’s also just sold as Monstera deliciosa

[@DestinyHopeLou]

The small form is also labeled as ‚Borsigiana‘ sometimes. In Germany and the Netherlans have found ones labeled as Tauerii which according to Wikipedia isn’t a real cultivar, so I assume the one I have is a small form aka Borsigiana. As for spotting the difference, if you look at the part where the petiole (stem of the leaf) connects to the leaf, the big form Monstera has curly tissue. I don‘t really know how to describe it, but there‘s videos on KZbin with pictures.

[@Amandasplants]

Me also would love to.see that

[@hobbithabits]

'Small' form generally has longer internodal spacing and the leaves do not get nearly as big as the 'large' form. The 'Large' form generally has very small internodal spacing and size up much quicker. I have a small form thats been climbing a 6 foot stake and only now, 3 years later has it started to fenestrate. My large form has sized up exponentially and its very evident in how large the stem has gotten. Its about 2 inches around at the top of the plant and about the width of a pencil where it started. I will almost never suggest a large form monstera for apartments, and small homes. They QUICKLY outgrow their area and then you end up with a chopped up plant because its hitting everything around it.

[@RareRootsOfJoyMelbourne]

She’s done a detailed video on the different types of Monstera already, guys. You also might want to hunt out a similar one from the Gardening In Canada channel too as they explain some ways you can tell the difference.

[@duckygin]
