The Most UNUSUAL + Rare Plants In My Collection 🌿

[@theresarichter1680]

A bit random but the sweater looks very, very good on you :))

[@solarwinds-]

I absolutely adore listening to you talk.

[@dorindastewart1375]

Ah, so glad to see you giving Episcia some love! 💚 I got a small cutting in Aug and it has become one of my favorites! It's related to African violet; the common name is flame violet. There are loads of different varieties. I just purchased three more on Etsy.🙈 I hope your fossil plant seeds germinate and grow for you! 🙏

[@sudonim.]

I love your version of rare. I live in The Netherlands and because it's one of the biggest plant importer/exporters in the world, rare plants arent so rare or expensive here. My rare is also based on what is harder to get a hold of or more unusual to see in someones collection. I ordered a single node hoya polynerua variegata fishtail cutting from Germany due to it being a bit pricey. The packaging wasnt great and my green thumb wasnt as green as I'd hoped. It died. It took me almost 2 months of searching high and low to find another supplier to get cuttings from. It's currently ranking pretty high on my rarity scale lol

My monkey tail cactus brings me so much joy. And in 1 year it’s gone from 7 small tails to more than 30 tails, some 2 feet long! It’s longer tails are getting more and more hairy. It’s beautiful, I just love it!!

[@LavenderDaisies]

FUN VIDEO, Yes do a part 2. I love the plant that can live 1000 years. I forgot its name. So fun.

[@kaylakraft7293]

Love your content..can you do a propagation how you do it. And anything on grow lights!! I'm struggling with the grow lights and how they really works

[@pudik2008]

I’m fascinated with "rare/unusual plants". I totally get what you mean by what you perceive as rare. Love that begonia,and I so want that round cactus ball,love a weird/crooked/funky cacti and succulents. Great topic Clare. None of my friends are into plants as well😢but my adult son is like me,so at least I’ve got someone that understands about the excitement you get from plants,and we encourage each other to buy more plants 😅 Shhhh, I should be discouraging him right! 😂 💚💚🪴🌿

[@sallyfisher7389]

Your definition of rare plants is the best definition. I should be about what you are growing and that is unusual. I loved this video so much!

[@dak_ohhh_ta]

New wishlist item - hoya undulata red - it's giving prehistoric cave core 💚

[@idiosyncraticgirl1]

I have a Siderasis fuscata, it might not be rare but it is definitely unusual. It feels like a stuffed animal. I have given away many cuttings to my students who would come to my office to pet the plant. It also has tiny purple flowers. Of course, there is also the dead stick plant…❤

[@gingercaudill7219]

I truly love your unusual and rare plant collection!! So kool and unique! Thank you so much for sharing Claire! Lots of love ❤️ Ginger

[@wikedkhaleesi]

Yay so happy to see you. Its election day here in America and i needed a planty break with my favorite british plant girlie ❤

[@rushiaj1222]

The episcia cupreia is my favorite for sure. Those silver looking veins are so pretty 😍

[@same_9923]

Euphorbia leuconeura is a new rare plant I’ve added to my collection recently. I didn’t know how I really felt about it at first, but it grew on me and I’m enjoying the look of it.

[@anneascott]

thank you for your channel. thanks to you I went shoping today - I wanted some aglaonema. I wasn't paying attention to these plants, but you opened my eyes. I went there for one left with two :D aglaonema costatum + aglaonema matcha lemon. sooo gorgeous, I hope they will be happy with me :-) thank you again. you are doing amazing work here 💚

[@darianmorris4311]

I’ve been loving lithops recently! I have a small cluster that are about two years old at the moment and they are so interesting. I have ones that are beginning to split finally so it will be a really cool thing to see!

[@kathylovejoy2569]

That cactus is really different and cute!!!! Maybe those Rare Plant seeds, would like a cup over it, to keep the moisture in?

[@lilablume]

I have a Clivia plant. And I don’t know anyone who has one. So I call it rare. Although often it is found in abundance in senior residences. I believe it was very popular in the 70s and 80s. I inherited mine from my Nan at it is more than 50 years old. And at least where I live it is not easy to get in garden centers nowadays.

[@tristinchristenson6349]

Thank you for filling up my wish list! 😂I love watching my own excitement in other people! Part 2?

[@shmpooch]

Oh i had to pause and run to my wish list and the anthurium sp el condor!! Absolutely beautiful!

[@NerdyGirlAdventurousHeart]

My favorite plants are the less common sansevieria varieties (there are dozens!) and euphorbia varieties. They all have super easy care, and are fun to grow.

[@TheOnlyKrazykat]

The Jade.... no water until it roots!

[@snt9518]

There are some plants I've recently crossed off my wishlist that are a bit more uncommon! It took FOREVER to find a cutting of variegated strings of tears (variegation looks so much better than that of the pearls), Rhipsalis hoelleri (long stems and pink blooms!) and Dischidia tomentella (leaf shape is similar to Hoya microphylla, it's dark and compact); Hoya undulata black and Hoya clemensiorum sarawak were also a bit of a project to acquire. Ones still on my list are Anthurium sp. morona, Monstera deliciosa unniae (that one will take a while to come down to my budget, I expect 😅), Begonia sizemoreae (longicillata), Ceratostema rauhii (which is an epiphyte that apparently produces blueberry like fruit🤩) and Huperzia nummulariifolia (Phlegmariurus nummulariifolius). I mean the list is obviously longer, but the others are not amongst the specials. Oh and I'm EU based, I know some on my list are more common elsewhere:)

[@mackenzieclasen9207]

Love this video!! One of my favorite “rare” plants is my butterwort or ping plant!

[@robinferdinandsen7122]

absolutely yes plz to a part two 😍 my most rare/unusual plant is a euphorbia platyclada. it kind of looks like a dead shrub till you get close to it but it has the most beautiful green markings on an off white base and mine lives in a southfacing window(in denmark) and turns a nice red colour in the summer and blooms like crazy with some cute lille yellow flowers you can barely see. it's super easy to keep and grows well and i absolutely love it.

[@donnalong108]

Gorgeous sweater!!😊

[@TheJungleHaven]

Thank you!

[@terabizzle]

i would love a part 2!! i just got a titanopsis calcarea (a succulent with reptile-skin-like bumps on its leaf tips). although it is certainly not rare at all, it is weird and wonderful :)

[@theresaking2708]

Ooh love the Hoya red tendon, never seen that one before ❤ ps I love your jumper.. I’m sweltering in 34 degrees here in Australia right now 🥵 and missing the cooler days 😊

[@connifordjones7898]

Ooooh I have one.. called Farfugium Firefly that I'm trying to revive. No one has talked about it. Loved this episode. Thanks, Claire!

[@luisamartina9711]

I got the same geometricus round cactus bc of your weird plant video! I’d never seen it before and just had to have it!

[@Plantlifewithnina]

Hello Claire from PR!! I will make a video soon on my unusual plants!!🪴 😊

[@charliblake8551]

I’m OBSESSED with my Undulata!! It had like 10 leaves when I got it and I managed to kill off the top 4 while trying to figure it out. It’s not given a couple of leaves back and I feel like we understand one another finally. I’m beyond proud of it!

[@AmbersCeaseandDesistLetter]

Hi Claire from the North Star State (Minnesota) I just wanted to say 1. Your skin looks AMAZING here! Whatever you’re doing it’s paying off! Additionally I wanted to ask do your plants struggle a bit coming from warm fall to cool side of fall into winter? I have 180 babies and they are getting a tad crispy.

[@hedgewitch59]

Your collection is amazing Claire. I bought an Anthurium Wendlingeri, A. Pseudospectabile and have just ordered an Anthurium Bosworth Beauty. Don't know what I'm going to do when they get big but I'll find room somehow. 😂

[@MsKricket101]

This sweater is so great ❤

[@robinprice6879]

I have 5 episcia and they really like to live in self watering pots. And they also like lots of light. With the correct conditions they will bloom and bloom. I live in the Pacific Northwest of the US so have conditions similar to yours

[@m3msilva]

love this topic. My son recently got a dorstenia foetida. We were told it explosively shoots its seeds out of the flower, well it did. lol. He woke up and the center of the flower was sparse, no seeds. They found 4 of them on the ground. So crazy. And it smells like a tomato plant.

[@torquess454]

This is what rare means! Not necessarily the expensive, but available ones, the ones harder to get that not everyone has! That’s my opinion too! Also it depends on where you are in the world and the accessibility, so rare is different in each country or area! I found a Partytime plant, Alternanthera, this last spring, beautiful pink variegated leaves, grows like a weed, stunning, never heard of it before then Got my Hoya Clandestine Yelliw over 2 years ago, no new growth, in fact lost one leave before I took it back out of semi hydro, my Sarawak is finally growing though!! Bought them near the same time Ooo that El Condor!! Purdy!! We see the variegated jade quite often here where I am, so not on my personal rare list, it is pretty though You’re not talking too fast! “Too speedy” This is great!! I fast forward people who go on and on and on about each plant saying the same things again and again, really appreciate you More please!!!

[@islein]

The «rarest» plants in my collection I think is the Euphorbia leuconeura(madagascar jewel) and the Haemanthus albiflos, and both I got from my grandma🥰 I don’t think you can easily find them in plant shops where I live😁

[@lyzzylabelle]

I think mine is the ghost euphorphia it's so tiny still but it's so pretty my wishlist is constantly expanding tho

[@JacobBeck-in2ef]

2:34 "it smells exatly like marijuana" 💀

[@merronie]

lol that first one = gateway plant~

[@JenLong-jo7nd]

Great video, thanks. I'd love to learn more about your no drainage method. I've been growing some succulents in straight PON with no drainage (in whiskey glasses). I water them once the condensation has completely dried out. Do you use similar visual cues to know when to water? What plants wouldn't you use the no-drainage method for? I'm a bit tempted to try experimenting with it too, because I love playing/learning from my plants

[@kathylovejoy2569]

I love strange plants. Especially cactus. But anything That I really Enjoy looking at, is always fun. I don't have a huge amount of plants, but what I do have are pretty much, hand picked for my enjoyment, not to keep, that I really enjoy. I'm not the type to try and keep up with everyone else..

[@Psionicbomb]

Nice way to start my day!

[@caseykelson1]

My fave “unknown” plant is the philo Bonifaziae! Beautiful, loooong strap leaf! Seen a couple people down under with them! And hard to come by, here in the states!

[@puttymail]

Dear Claire, here a random message from the Netherlands. Love your lovely video's and you give me amazing inspiration. I've got so many ideas from you. I do not have a television at home. We watch tv on our laptops and for movies we use a projector. You can easily get rid of that huge thing and built more cupboards for your plants! And make a tiny cinema under your bed! haha.

[@gardenfullofcolour]

Oh I love love hoya undulata !

[@heychey227]

I think the most unusual plants in my collection are my begonia hispida, pentagonia wendlandii and my Chamaeranthemum venosum. The leaves on my cham are a lot more rounded than the ones on Google

[@dianabertranda5009]

My wishlist item - Anthyrium Polidiflorum! 😊

[@Plativia]

I love them all💋🖤

[@Autumn-pw2xz]

Please do a part 2

[@IalysaArt2]

love the collection. The tephro cactus look a bit yellow. Are you sure it is not rotting? check if the whole thing is not squishy and the bottom is not rotting. these guys need a lot of light and only water them when they become slightly wrinkly

[@kirstenerickson5063]

Hatiora salicornioides or better known as “Dancing Bones Cactus” is one of my favorite weird plants right now. It’s not rare but not many people I know have it in their collection.

[@susanwilkinson867]

@@kirstenerickson5063 I believe I have a dancing bones, if I'm correct isn't it a type of rhipsalis?

I have successfully done leaf prop on my variegated jade plant, but it was extremely slow going.

[@pilitathomason6993]

I got a variegated jade and it grow so slowly and harder to propagate.

[@angrysin7893]

I have about 6 variegated Jade leaves propagating currently, and sadly every single one of them is growing fully green. After a little bit of Google research, I discovered a lot of anecdotal evidence of variegated Jade only retaining their variegation when propagating from full stems. :( I really hope that is not the case, for either of us!

[@rosewagner4018]

How’s your agleonema Pictum tricolor? Is it becoming a tree? I’d love to hear your tips. Ty

[@Plativia]

Hey girl, hey…… love your videos🖤💋. Where can I get the Plectranthus SP Galario??

[@AuDHDApron]

Such a beautiful ❤ sweater

[@LittleGardenGrow]

I love the variegated succulent, it gives me pepperonis vibes for some reason!

[@miguelinabnasr3719]

Have been converting to semi hydro recently and got rid of all soil. It’s been tough because some plants are doing better than others. One type is bamboo and that’s always been in semi hydro, but the golden pothos haven been tricky, have snake plants too going through the same. A rubber tree pls that’s been growing well, a yucca tree that hasn’t responded yet to the change but its leaves just dropped off, philodendron heart leaf have been fine, spider plant that’s adjusting, an alocesia that’s new but don’t know if that’s why it’s not doing well? Any tips on growing in semi hydro? Want to try growing an English ivy but have had the hardest time finding it, maybe it’s a sign?

[@Fixaidea]

One day. One day I will get a Dracula vampira orchid. Unfortunately right now I can’t give it the right conditions but! One day!

[@peterking7625]

If you haven't got one already, look at the curly leaf verigated jade plant, I have one and they are to die for 😍 they propergate soooo easily too

[@_inmyhead]

Hilarious the first plant, but it would be leaving my house the same day if I realized it stank like weed does lmao

[@biggestNWFreak]

Ohhh, so I could get myself a plectranthus sp galgallo, proudly display it and every time people ask me why my flat smells like weed I could point to it all the while I'm hiding my actual weed plants in their grow tent? 😇 (Weed is legal where I live.)
