Can't wait to see these Plant Babies grow! Great video! ❤️New Year, Jan!❤️❤️
Your little Anthuriums turned out so great! Very keen to see how they turn out in one pot. Have a wonderful year ahead Jan 🙂
Came here to say the same! ❤
I’m like you, I compare prices to rent, groceries or entertainment $$!😊
Do you have synonyms? Specifically, Chiapense and Frosted Heart? I’ve never seen mature ones. ❤
😊
we all need money to survive. So cost of living and prices are relevant.
The last time I went to Florida, I collected seedlings of Ficus aurea, Bursera simaruba from cracks in the sidewalks. Also some invasive orchids like Oceoclades maculata, growing on the side of the road.
The Ficus aurea and Bursera are doing great in my Brooklyn NY apartment, 1200 miles north, different climate zone.
Since the pandemic, a lot of plant infuencers on social media seem so focused mostly on Aroids. Of course they are fast growing and require little light. But other plant families, are great. I had the Ficus destruens, from northern Australia. It eventually died, I acquired it with a trade and had beautiful leaves. But the Australian/South Asian Ficus virens (or maibe is F. concinna) is doing great. So easy to propagate and grow.
I imported some Philodendrons from Ecuagenera in Ecuador. Sometimes I bought a small and large of the same species. In many cases the small plant seem to do better than the larger one. I had often to cut the large ones and propagate them, while the smaller ones grew new roots and leaves readily.
I see so many buying the Fiddle Leaf Ficus, which indoors tends to do poorly, grows leggy, drops its leaves, while there are native Ficus in the USA like Ficus aurea, or Mexican ones like Ficus obtusifolia that grow so nicely indoors.
So plant collecting can be fun, as long as it does not impact the environment. I collected plants from empty lots with rubble, that would be eventually developed, or areas where those seedlings would be eliminated by landscapers. Ficus trees grow readily from seed.
In Australia there are so many nice native Ficus species, that you could try one or 2 if you want to branch out. They can develop aerial roots in good humidity.
Anyway, good lunch with the new plants. P. rubrijuvenile seems less finicky than verrucosum. P. sharoniae looks great.
The comment about, importing plants, makes so much sense. Buy plants already acclimated to the environment for optimal success.
I don’t think that’s a bad price for the Jose considering your location. Not sure if your epi is Global Green or what. I did get a green on green off of my Mandula but the Enjoy is bright white an green. It’s pretty what ever it is. 💚 Happy New Year!!
In the photo you put on the left side of the screen with the Philodendron Rubrijuvenile is that a variegated Adansonii in the background?
Happy New Year from Sweden🇸🇪
the Pothos is called Epipremnum Global Green (at least in the UK) – hope this helps! Agree that she doesn't size up much, so growing it as a trailing plant would be perfect!
I don’t have a wish list, I have a visual & then go by what kind of plant it is & then if I would do better with housing it or keeping a picture. I keep more of a list of what not to get 😅
Hi Jan :)….Your El Choco Red! So so happy for you to have your little cutie…..I got a regular sized one in Oct….and it shipped perfect, and the new leaf came out perfect and it is still in the moss it came in from Florida…..so I have done nothing fancy with it so I think yours will give you happiness and joy and soon will become part of your favorite favorites! Looking forward to all the new editions to your home 🙂 was your first dsy of summer our first day of winter?
Happy New Year Jan and Congratulations on 80k 🥂
Loved watching Brads tail walking past occasionally he is so chilled lol.
I am looking forward to seeing your youngsters grow it’s quite exciting to think of what they will be in a years time 😊
Money is tricky to talk about, but I always appreciate it.
Hey Sydney, thank you for the interesting video.
may you please d a video when you put the tiny plants on a moss pole. It'll be interesting to see how you do it and I'd like to try that with my own plants
Love from South Africa ✨️
That free pothos looks like a global green
Are you an Australia native? Your accent sounds like South Africa.
Looks like a global green Pothos 💚
I love this vid. Since I'm one of your viewers in your city the prices and environment are relevant info for me and interesting. When you do your next Q&A could you please talk about how and when and where you train your plants on the pole using the bent wire bits? Thank you Jan xxx
Who names a plant a El Chapo red!? 😆
Not an n’joy, it’s a jade pothos. 😮
Such a good point- in that you grow your plants so big, you can sell cuttings and make your money back making it an affordable hobby for any budget!
Although I'm not the biggest fan of Syngonium, I love Syngonium wendlandii becaue of the white stripes and the velvety leaves.
I've killed two of those Amyridium mediums so good luck 🤞
The syngonium mojito doesn't really have a tendency to "divide" leaves into 3. The leaves just keep getting larger and larger so it might just be the perfect syngonium for you. I'm already curious how big you'll be able to grow it.
Edit: commented too soon and then you said you don't want it on a moss pole. But you should give it a try considering how big it can get on a moss pole!
Hey Jan 😊 The plant with the green on green verrigation looks like a global green pothos. Very pretty as they grow! Behind you on the pole, is that a manjula? She's huge 😍 It amazes me how you handle your plants the way you do and yet never have substrate everywhere!! It's sorcery, lol. Thanks again for another great video!!
That pothos seems like global green . Njoy usually is white and green sectoral verigated
In my opinion, all pothos prefer to grow vertically and will do better. And look great! LECA Queen has some great examples of ‘N joy, neon, and several other pothos on moss poles. The leaves are plate-sized!
Awesome vid Jan 🙂 Agree 100% it's nice to have a few 'unicorn' plants, knowing if you saw a nice specimen come up for a good price you'd grab it but until then just being happy with what you have is enough, there are so many awesome plants out there that are readily available and not expensive at all.
My unicorn isn't available here in Aus but I'm certain it's because it's not popular or valuable enough for anyone to do the work to import it, because it would absolutely be at home in our climate. People import stuff like variegated monstera and strawberry shake on the regular because even if they loose a shipment to customs the plants are so popular and valuable here it's worth the risk and they can make that money back on the next one.
It's cool though because I have plenty of beautiful plants to enjoy and that 'dream' plant is always perfect in the back of my mind and can never die of pests or get a stuck leaf or root rot. 🤣
Agree with the $$$ comments completely. It is interesting to hear about how prices can differ from your side of the world vs mine. Full sized Choco's can be imported from Ecuador fairly reasonably ($45 USD).
I have no real wish list either – but a variegated philodendron billietiae is definitely a wish. Given its current market rate – cant do it, but maybe one day.
I believe your pothos is a "global green". NJoy has very distinct white variegation. 🙂
Have you thought about, or seen Philodendron Spiritus Sancti? RedLeaf exotics here pollinated there's are also got variegated ones.
I mention it not because of cost, but just how it looks. Pretty 🙂
That pothos is a 'global green'. I enjoy your videos!
Hiya, could you please tell me who you got the 'el choco' from?
I know people can get judgemental when it comes to money & plants (or clothes, or cars…the list is endless), but I find it quite helpful & informative when YouTube creators are willing to share this info. It helps me to understand where pricing is trending so I can decide if I want to go for it now or wait a little while for pricing to come down. Thanks for the transparency & Happy New Year!
The freebie plants looks like a global green pothos! I’m in love with mine and it grows so so well!
I appreciate you talking about how much plant prices are in Sydney, I’m with you with high prices. I paid a lot for my first monstera albo, I decided to wait now and only pay max $100 otherwise I’ll wait. My wish list plant is currently Florida beauty but don’t want to spend more than $150 for a good variegated specimen. It might take me years but I’ve learned to be patient.
Absolutely love your videos! So inspired by you! Going to take some cuttings from my mini monstera and deliciosa and make some moss poles!
When you say you fertilize weekly weakly, do you do that all year? Or just during the growing season?
Thank you so much!
The plant you showed at 7 minutes into the video seems to be a “Global green pothos”…dark green with mingled slightly lighter green variegation . The pearls and jade and pothos enjoy are dark green with bright white variegation.
Oh I agree money is different for everyone some can afford some can't thanks imnfromnwis.
Also appreciate the money talk. Apart from anything it is interesting to compare prices in different countries. I am in NZ and I suspect our prices are in line with yours but our choice of plants is woeful compared to what you have available now. I long for the day when I can have a Shazza of my own. Great channel.
Looking out for Future Jan, I love that 😁 I appreciate the talk about costs, it’s something a lot of influencer collectors never address. One of my fav things to do is share plants!! Local swaps can be a great way to diversify your collection 😊
Thank you for being real. The money talk just earned you a new subscriber!

No worries about the money talk, and thanks for planting these exotic species so we can appreciate their growth and beauty in your care. Essentially, you are doing us all a favour by, let's say, planting by proxy for us. Personally, I'm sticking to what I think is worthy for me and what I have available locally, so for other interesting plants that I have no luck in obtaining, I have to resort to watching them grow on your youtube and IG. 🙂 <3
PS. My eyes are fixated on the manjula pretty much the whole length of the video. It's so majestic. I hope one day I can get mine to be like that too!
look forward to seeing these little ones grow to their full potential, what about a philo paraiso verde, do you have one , or considering getting one? it's on my list .Totally off topic, but do you put a hole in the bottom of your bottles you use to water your moss poles? We are struggling to get them to work, tried lots of holes in the cap, one hole in the cap, they just won't water 😢we tried a hole in the bottom and it came out way too fast.
Can’t wait to watch your Jose Buono progress on my wishlist as well. Plants are an investment especially in your life plus I get enjoyment out of you spending your money on them 😂
waw beautiful plants
