Awesome! Make a fussiest house plants video next...

[@jessicaorelt381]

Yess!!

[@plaingal79]

Yaaaaasssss, but can you do it on philodendron, monstera, alocasia, or anthurium please??!!

[@megasocky]

Venus flytraps are one

[@lokilaufeyson3205]

Calathea's

[@MWladimirovna]

@@megasocky Put the pot with your plant on a bigger Saucer than you normally would. Always have water in the saucer so your soil never dries out. They like their feet to be wet ;) It must be distilled or rain water. And now you will always see when it needs to be watered. If you have a sunny place on the windowsill for your carnivorous plant, you shouldn't have any problems.

Kaylee Ellen, great video! Very informative! Thank you! ❤️

[@pureluck8767]

I’m so happy my 2 Thai constellation plants will do well in my house, thank you for putting my nerves at ease :)

[@kailey2193]

Loved this video! SO helpful! Would love a video on how to find reputable online plant sellers! Things to look out for. Maybe a list of any you have had good luck purchasing from?

[@jessicaorelt381]

I second this!!

[@itszenbaby]

Would be interesting to see but I doubt Kaylee will release a list of her suppliers when she has her own store for selling plants.

[@SuperUsername147]

Glad to hear the clarinervium is easy! I found a super cheap node stump with some small roots and am hoping to grow a plant from it. I had a good feeling about it but now I feel even better about it!

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

This was super helpful to me and not my wallet

[@DaniGilbo]

Hearing the pink Princess is easy to ship made me slightly sad because USPS had an issue with mine and it lost all 6 leaves and is now a stick. Hopefully a new stem grows soon

[@finflwr]

I just found the Anthurium clarinervium in a 4" pot, discounted to £5 at a garden centre this week. I snapped it up as it's so pretty but was a little nervous of how well I'd manage to grow it. You've made me a very happy woman today after this scoring, lol!! Happy days!

Hi Kaylee, this was EXCELLENT! I mean, I love your videos in general but you really pushed the boat out with this one! Thank you for your insights! And, of course, enjoy the weekend!

[@MarionBotanical]

that Mcdowell is so gorgeous !!! thank you for sharing, I've never heard of it before

you'd make a great weather forecaster! lol i think i just heard humidity and light so much! Love your vids xo

So obsessed with your videos doode. I don’t have much free time but let me tell ya whenever I have a half hour to spare I get settled on the couch and watch your channel

[@Laurenlee87721]

I’ve just bought a Thai constellation earlier this week and will go pick it up on Sunday. So happy to see this video, I’m so at ease now!

[@Laurensji]

I 100% agree with everything you said about the Monstera Thai Constellation. When I brought it I honestly thought it would be hard work but it is such a treat! Mine is juvenile likes yours but the newest leaf it has just put through has a small hole so I'm so excited to see it maturing ❤️

[@abbersabbers]

Pop

[@verenar]

I just got an Anthurium Clarinervium and I’m so glad that they are on your list

[@lisasmith3617]

Love these easy care videos. Perfect for those wanting to transition from mostly common, to more rare plants. Thank you, Kaylee!

[@mjmjmj3046]

just got a young thai constellation too, no splits at all but the new leaf it’s putting out has a couple of splits right away. so easy so fuss-free and so so pretty!

[@isla8599]

My philodendron moonlight is one of my favorites. It never gets sick or damaged, is constantly pushing out new leaves, and is a super special neon green. I even have it potted in a planter with no drainage hole (I know, I'm a bad plant mom, but it was too cute not to use) and it's not fussy at all about it. That Philodendron Billietiae might have to join my collection next 👀💚🌿

[@annidj]

Wow was definitely not expecting the constellation to be #1!!

[@KayleeEllenOfficial]

I know but honestly they're troopers!

[@chasingzs]

Love the format of this! I have a few new plants to add to my wish list now 😁

[@fashionforwardable]

The scale system I can't get over! Love how much detail you went into!!

[@amydd100]

Love, love love this video. I love the format, everything. How about a rare plant moderate top 6 or 10? Please do more formats like this. The best!

[@weiliang5642]

Ordered my Monstera Thai Constellation from Thailand like 10 days ago, I was so nervous about it. Now I feel so much better after watching your video!

[@marcang4403]

SUCH A USEFUL VIDEO!!!!!! Is there a part 2?

[@AliNeisy]

Oh my what a wonderful video! You need to make more of these rankings in the categories alone, like easiest rare Anthurium or easiest rare philodendron 😂

[@deezazarin6590]

My clarinervium and monstera thai are some of the easiest for me to care for too!! And they’re both super beautiful plants. I neeed an anthurium Vittarifolium in my life now. Great video Kaylee!!! 🌿🌿

[@fireflyintheroom]

Im in love with your HUGE collection of so many exotic plants! Its just GOALS! Wish one day to make more videos on my channel about so many rare plants! 🌿💚💣

[@nastyainwonderland9688]

Oo, interesting! Me too🌱

[@joelh6514]

Great video! You present things very well.

[@hollyhasegawa6095]

Wow, awesome video, I truly love when you do these kinds of videos. Some of my wish list plants are on the rare side, and that's good to know how hard some of them are to grow. I am currently growing from seed the Monstera Deliciosa Variegata, they literally took a month to sprout, and they are now about an inch tall, not all the seeds sprouted at once, I have them in various stages of growth, and that's okay it's just exciting to see them growing. Thank you Kaylee, this was a great video that I really enjoyed.

[@colewilliamson8299]

did you actually succeed at growing the monstera from a seed?

[@hollyhasegawa6095]

@@colewilliamson8299 No actually the seeds were not Monstera seeds, but I did grow a plant from them, several, I finally identified the plant, but it died no matter how I tried saving it. It was actually quite fun growing them from seeds, I just wish they would have survived, but thanks for asking.

[@WinteRita]

I had never seen the monstera nubia 😯 its gorgeous!

[@abr3703]

This is one of my fav videos ever, I keep coming back to it XD

[@entitled_little_cat]

I would really recommend a Ctenathe Amabilis to anyone who’s looking for an easy prayer plant (fishbone calathea, calathea/stromanthe/maranta amabilis) I left him for an entire week and he was just as pristine when I came home - no humidifier, average light, average watering. Grows really fast too!

[@naomikeenan4128]

This video has convinced me to drop $180 on a Thai constellation, I burnt my deliciosa and its never forgiven me so I've been holding off but I think it might be time to give it a crack! Grateful for the tips on the Florida beauty too, I got one today actually!

[@jessgascoigne8095]

I would suggest that a easy plant that looks super rare and cool but really isn't rare and is crazyyyyy easy to look after is Zamioculcas or ZZ plant (I say ZiZi but I think that's because I'm English not American- off topic) it is basically impossible to kill in my experience! I barely water it, have it in basic normal room light, no humidity control at all but I would say my house is quite warm and humid. You can easily buy them in a garden centre so don't worry about shipping

[@Indusxstan]

Truly so! And there are 5-6 colour varieties now. All are excellent.

[@MsLouloutube]

Hey Kaylee, could you pretty pretty please make a video of how to properly store your potting mix, orchid bark etc when youve got extra left over?? 😁 Im finding my potting mix is developing a white mould in the storage container i have it in 😣

[@oscarpetfield9389]

Love this video becuse I have recently been trying to shift from common to rare house plants 🌿

[@abr3703]

I'm so happy you made this video! Like I think I saw a Thai constellation today at flourish. I might be wrong but I was worried it would die so instead I got a satin pathos XD Now I'm definitely going back tomorrow to check if it is a Thai constellation and probably buy it!!! I'm over the moon honestly, thank you for making such an informative video

[@MarionBotanical]

I want a Thai Constellation soooo bad !!!!

[@abr3703]

@@MarionBotanical when l looked the tropical plant store had a few to pre order online for like £10 or something. So I just paid for it. And it is the shop that Kaylee has recommended before, hold on let me see if I can get the link

I’d love to see a video on how to revert a variegated plant, I’ve got my eyes on the horizon for an Albo Borsigiana Love your channel ❤️

[@gladyspichardo8121]

Thank you so much. This is a helpful video. I've been scared to touch my variegated Monstera and Pink Princess the wrong way. Now I know, they are not so delicate, therefore I don't need to be afraid to handle them. Thanks again, I really enjoy and learn from your videos. Because of you I found out about the Anthurium V. The philodendron Bill. and now I own one of each.

[@rayzhou5583]

Thank you so much! This is so helpful. Honestly, I was least expecting the Monstera Deliciosa Thai Constellation cause is it so rare in my area and I assumed that it would be very challenging to take care of.

[@Daniela.m.]

I can’t stop watching your videos. They are so good and I love all the information I’m getting. I have no clue about plants and the few I have tried to add in my house I have killed 😭. I’m sure I’m over watering them as that’s what amateur plant careers do lol. I’m determined to learn

[@becauserenasaysso]

OMG I need to thank you for all that information. You're gorgeous and your knowledge is something I depend deeply when taking care of my plants xD

[@milesrayl4078]

Great video! I must say I am amused when you speak of humidity. The humidity figures you mention as a minimum are numbers I couldn't get here where I live without being in a sauna. I live in the desert and humidity in my home is usually in the range is 12 to 18% and my philodedrons do fine as long as I mist them regularly.

[@Heda-of7df]

I fell in love with your videos .... I can watch the whole time

[@dominicflorio5708]

I watched the new one and this one. Great information. It has helped me make some decisions. Thank you.

[@jessicaorelt381]

I notice there are no Alocasia on this list 🤣 that is the only plant I've managed to kill!! I have been searching for a Philodendron pink Princess and a Thai Constellation and they really are hard to come by in the states. Nearly every site I've checked is sold out or pricing out of my range. I will be so happy when I find them!

[@wandering0wonderland]

Loved this video, super helpful and gives me confidence to pick up a few plants that you've mentioned in videos before that I'm really drawn to, thank you!

[@matthewaguilera2309]

Unfortunately, here in the US Anthurium Clarinervium average around $100 for a medium size. They're definitely pretty pricey here still. It's on my wishlist though!

[@E3lx]

Matthew Aguilera That's a shame, I got mine for €13 from NL. Can you order from Canada or somewhere? Or do you need CITES permits or are shipping costs prohibitive?

[@E3lx]

Matthew Aguilera here in the UK some plants are ridiculously hard to get/expensive, the pink Princess is £50 for a tiny one and alocasia frydek and similar are literally non existent

[@xoxjohanna]

I just bought a medium sized one for 20 dollars here in Sweden!

[@duke3024]

GOSH! i love your videos!

[@raygv1]

Why do sellers remove the leaves? I bought a albo single node rooted cutting for, I’d rather not say how much. I knew this before I bought it but I decided to take the plunge. Shipping was very stressful for the plant and root system which was massive had mostly died back leaving only a couple primary roots and like one or two healthy secondary roots. Now with the leaf gone and the small amount of green on the node i feel the plant has been significantly hindered photosynthesizing and developing a new root system. What’s the reason to remove the leaf? Is there something I can do to give the cutting the best chance for survival when basically all I got is a two inch bit of stem and a few roots?

[@Uneedmoremeds]

I love your rating system👍👍👍👍. This was a wonderful video and ridiculously helpful. Love ya Kaylee😊👍❤.

[@Dixiwonderlandyoutube]

What is the high humidity that the plants want? We have around 52% in our apartment. It goes up and down ofc but I try to have it at 52%. We can go up to 60% without getting problems with mold. My favorite plants are Calathea so what do they prefer? :)

[@FourLetterWurdz]

Thank you SooOoOoO much for this. I've been wanting one of those amazingly striking anthuriums with the super dark leaves, and high constrast veining. I'm gonna start looking for one. Anthurium clarinervium, here we cooome

[@abr3703]

I legit just got both the monstera deliciosa Thai constellation and the antherium clarinervium online. Like I was hesitating when I first saw the video but after watching it again I just had to get both plants XD

[@MvrEmma]

Love your video's! But i'm wondering how to you choose your 'rare' houseplants and what do you mean by rare?

[@sarahgiggles9444]

I have a question about buying plants online. If a plant arrives semi-barerooted in some sphagnum or in a bit of potting mix in a bag, how quickly should it be potted up? I'm wary of keeping it that way too long, but I usually like to give my plants at least a week or two in my home to acclimatize before repotting so I don't traumatize the heck out of them.

[@sarahgiggles9444]

As an addendum, I'm particularly wondering about the alocasia zebrina reticulata (!!!!!) that will be arriving today. Alocasias are so finicky about their watering to begin with - I'm worried!

[@yespls6260]

I preordered one of those anthuriums and I'm so excited to get it!

[@paigewong5277]

What's the light colored plant called in the bottom left corner throughout the video? Thanks

[@hvonsus5725]

that’s a caladium! I think the specific cultivar is Fantasy Caladium

[@risyyya]

Hey Kaylee, awesome video! Where did you find info that Mcdowell and Pastazanum are not the same? Struggling with this one

[@risyyya]

I have seen places say Mcdowell is the old name for pastazanum or that Mcdowell is a cross between a pastazanum and a gloriosum. If it is indeed a cross I feel like it didn't take much from gloriosum at all, or there's mislabeling going on where pastazanum are labeled Mcdowell, simply cause it is a simpler name and lots of places would suggest its the same plant?

[@akimmer]

Do you also have upkeep for pink princess to keep up the variegation?

[@evitaochoa9095]

I really love your videos, this one was so informative!

[@cynd.9029]

Love this vid! Definitely added two plants to my list 😆

[@carterhoutman7353]

I’ve noticed that most, if not all, of your plants are in pots inside of other pots. I typically just plant mine into one and leave it. Is there a reason you keep yours in nursery-esque pots inside of your decorative ones?

[@luluamu]

I keep the plants in the plastic pot because they have drainage holes, the decorative pots don't. I water my plants in the sink or in the shower and let the water finish dripping through the nursery pot before I put it pack into the decorative pot. If I water when they are in their decorative pot (which I sometimes do), they always end up standing in water, risking it of rotting. I've murdered plants by doing this, so I try to avoid it. But if you're able to water them correctly straight into the decorative pot, well done! But this is why I do so, I can't speak for anyone else😅

[@carterhoutman7353]

luluamu that makes sense! Almost all of my plants are in terra cotta on saucers, so it’s not an issue for them. Good tip for ceramic pots though! I’ll keep it in mind!

[@triciahenares2494]

my philodendron moonlight's older leaves are getting brown and dry on the tips until whole leaf gets dry and brown. I water plant as soon as moisture meter hits 3. tips?

[@erinquinn215]

Question - I'm guessing that you've purchased plants that have been sent to the UK from the USA or Thailand for example, have you ever had any complications arise when the plants arrive in the country and go through customs?

[@KayleeEllenOfficial]

Honestly no not really. Things can go wrong and packages can get lost etc but it seems so be a super small percentage of times that it happens.

[@BubbleLilo156]

I've ordered 50+ plants online, half of them rare and I've only had two plants die due to shipping. One of them was the philodendron billietiae and I'm still wondering why! It was in transit for only 3 days. It's leaves turned yellow one by one :/ so I understand why there are mixed reviews about how well it ships
