And here I am getting anxiety over my $7 Boston fern. 😂

Pretty much if I spent more than $80 on a plant then the anxiety factor for me is 7 or higher

An expensive plant to me is $30+ lol

My most anxiety inducing plant is actually an extremely full 30cm basket of Chain Of Hearts. It was given to me by my Nan from her garden a few weeks before she passed. It’s extremely special to me. I always have propagations going.

imagine being a rare plant collector but also having a free-roaming tortoise in your house

It would be interesting to see a tour of your shop's office.

Can't say I sympathize with the guy who lost his Obliqua to his tortoise. If I paid $2500 for a plant it would be in a literal cage or in its own room away from people and pets lol

I spent 25USD on a plant once and it died within a month, i still haven't recovered from that.

“If you’re going to speed that much money, you should be able to drive it” 🤣🤣🤣

You should have added an extra category for tastiness for the obliqua

For an adult who watches beauty channels and plant channels.... This is truly my safe space on a Friday. May give You anxiety. Drastically reduces mine 😂😘

Hearing about Nick’s turtle eating his oblique had me near tears...

Dealing with fungus gnats kicks my anxiety factor right up to 10/10, no fancy $$$ plants needed 💁🏻‍♀️

Your videos almost always look more like a documentary than just a random plant video, what you make is just so interesting and instructive ! I think you have the best content on YT Kaylee and I lreally appreciate the fact that you always look so natural with us. Love on you and your beautiful plants !

what i took away from this video is to not buy an anthurium

Have you done a video yet on the mosaic virus and variegated adansonii? I am noticing a lot of people buying "variegated adansonii " when it really has the mosaic virus.

That animated score overlay is very cool!

You should totally have these rating on your website in the description of every plant!! It is sooo helpfull and informative 💚

"Risk of the Crisp," You are hilarious! Thank you for making rare plants accessible with your videos!

If there were a rare plant index for online plants people, you, Kaylee Ellen, would be in the holy category

I love how thorough and well made all your videos are :) Also: when daily life already gives you so much anxiety that rare plants really are no option for you 😂

I loved this video! It was a treat just seeing the rare plants 😛 but I love when you break things down in such an informative way, I’ve always been a fan of the rare plant index videos too!

The adansonii variegata has been on my wishlist for a long time now but I will wait until prices go down and people have more experience caring for it so I can learn from their mistakes! 😁

Can you do a list for us regular people? For instance; plants under $300 that have the same issues?Thanks! I love you and your channel!

Kaylee: "Maybe because, you know, we propagate it more" Me: Variegated Adansonii coming to rareplantshop confirmed! Kaylee: Talking about the price Me: I mean who actually needs two kidneys ...

I was watching rare plant videos by you for hours and you mentioned being scared of making the videos too long. IMPOSSIBLE. I could sit for like ATLEAST an hour on one video. Happy Holidays from Australia xx

I actually know of a guy in norway(weird right) who has a philodendron spiritus sancti, a monstera obliqua AND a variagated adansonii. Like, I thought it was only Kaylee who could have all three 😂🌱

My goodness my White Calathea Fusion is THE WORST. She was affordable and not awful to find, but I have tried so much to make her happy. Turns out she just needed some space instead of being babied and a ton of humidity 😅

A one leaf rooted cutting of Varigated Adansonii in Australia are going for $4000!

Came here for the corrugated ones. Confirmed my fears :( Finally cracked the splendidum ( at least this one stays small ) My patriciae is growing crazy well…

Dying over “risk of the crisp” 😂😂

Please make a video about seed scams. Christmas is coming nearer and rare Philodendron and Monstera seeds are sold, but what people get are not the correct seeds! How do Monstera and philodendron seeds look?

I seriously love your content. The subjects of your videos aren’t like any other channel that I have seen and the information and research you share with us is so generous. I’ll be honest, I’m probably NEVER going to own any of the plants on this list but that doesn’t mean that I don’t enjoy learning about them and knowing things like pricing. I’ve asked some of these questions in a few FB groups I’m in and let me tell you, the answer “if you have to ask you have no business asking OR owning one of these plants” is really awful. I understand it’s hard work and time consuming doing your research on these plants. To an extent I can understand why some would not want to share their knowledge but at least point someone in the right direction instead of belittling them. I’m never made to feel that way watching your videos and I truly do appreciate you 100%! Sorry for the rant-ish post 🤣... I hope you feel better very soon!

Watching this video made me realize how amazing and well researched your videos are! Seriously, I love this content! And I feel like if I share this with my friends who aren't into houseplants, they can get a sense of how involved this hobby and community is.

His tortoise just ate the whole thing? That would be the most depressing thing omg

Great content! Haha, they are mostly Anthuriums. I love that you are constantly find new, engaging and different ways to talk about plants! I love hauls and pest prevention as much as the next plant lover but I am really enjoying the diversity of your channel. I feel like I am constantly learning something new. Thank you for differentiating between rarity and availability!

Money spent = anxiety on 10000 for me. 🤣 Love these!!!! 💚 hope you’re feeling better soon lady!

You look so on point in this video. That highlight is killing it and that too looks so classy. Also very informative and well made video!

This was such a good video idea. Love it. Love when you rank things for some reason. It helps me organize my brain.

About the Monstera Obliqa - in Norway you can buy this one in the shop for about £10😅 CORRECTION: just watched the Monstera Obliqua vs Adansonii, and they OBVIOUSLY do NOT sell Obliqua in local nurseries. However, they call them Monkey Mask, which is a but confusing, as that name is used for Obliqua and not Adansonii.

Hi Kaylee! I would love to see a video on house plants that like to dry out between waterings! and then a follow up video on taking care of plants that like to stay moist. I'm really good with plants that like to dry out, but I struggle with plants that like to stay moist... would love some tips!

An expensive plant for me is $5 and above. I live in the Philippines.

Liz Cowen Thank you, Kaylee! I feel so much better about my only one discontented plant. Two leaves gone, two leaves still hanging in there...

No one loves to rate plants more than Kaylee Ellen! Enjoyable and informative, as usual.

Risk of crisp is the best description ever!

I ordered an Anthurium Splendidum as a special present to myself. It came early and I didn’t have anything for it so I turned the humidity up in my plant room to 90% for the day. Husband came home and let it all out. Leaves crisped in 2 hours. All but one gone. Well, the roots were good so I soaked some moss in diluted fertilizer and got it into a jar. The I put it on top of a mix to grow into. It’s regrown two leaves and is extremely happy. It’s a gorgeous plant: If you ever want to try again, I’d be happy to help!

If my plant thrives - great. But I’m aiming more for survival. If they survive I’m a proud plant parent and I think I’ve done my job lol. Thriving is almost a little scary to think about, it feels like added maintenance for some plants if they thrive and grow continuously.

I'm pleased that I'm in love with succulents 💪☺️

Watching this video one year after you published it and I've since been able to have a lot of first-hand experience with a few of the plants on your list: Anthurium Rugulosum/Philodendron Lynnhannoniae/Anthurium Splendidum: These plants hate me with a passion! All the corrugated philos and anthuriums I've had either die or become stumps really quickly and are super hard to acclimate. I've given them high humidity and been very careful with watering and they still dry up or die of root rot, so I really wouldn't recommend these unless you've really got the care nailed down! Anthurium Warocqueanum: Yep, I killed a green normal form one and since got a dark form and it is way easier going and much more prettier than the normal form too! Anthurium Dorayaki: Similar to silver bush/silver/any other hybrid forms of crystallinum and I honestly think it's down to the individual genetics of the plant. If you get a good strong one you'll be able to tell it'll be fine straight away, and vice versa, a weaker one will really suffer with root rot and establishing a good root system and therefore slow to push out new growth. Philodendron Patriciae: I killed my first one with root rot because it was shipped quite poorly too. It is quite pricey and hard to come by, but it is quite humidity tolerant, though you need to boost the humidity way up when a new leaf is unfurling. And yes, super super super slow grower compared to other philos. Variegated Adansonii: Yes, white parts will brown over time, and quicker if humidity is a bit low or water stays on the white parts for too long. I find it copes find and doesn't really have root rot. Mine grows quite quickly but pushes out quite a lot of undesirable all white leaves that need to be chopped back. But damn, yes, the prices of these are still super high and might be worth waiting for them to come down before getting one (they will eventually post COVID I hope) Still yet to get a Joepii (boy the prices for these have sky rocketed too) and Obliqua (these have actually become much more widely available as they're quite easy to propagate runners successfully from) and I would love to get my hands on a Spiritus Sancti (I know there are a few more circulating now as some are being grown out but I have heard they are a pain in the butt to propagate successfully because they have a very different woody stem and doesn't take to rooting very easily)

Wow, this plants is for people with extra $$$$. Thanks for letting us know how expensive and how hard to take care of this rare plants are. I may not have this plants but i had fun just watching youtubers highlighting this plants.😉

girl, this video is a total home run! such a treat to see these plants. aaaaaand, risk of the crisp---what appropriate phrasing! made me laugh.

Thanks. Very interesting. No one ever talks about a Bowiea. It is a lovely green bulb that grows ON TOP of the soil with roots down into the soil. It is layered like an onion and sliding a layer off and bagging it in a bit of potting soil can create babies after a year. Then another year before the real stem grows. Once established they grow quickly. Big long vine that bursts into a fern look flowers and then dies back. Rinse and repeat and the bulb continues to grow larger each time. Just google Bowiea.

I would personally add Lithops, little monsters are relatively hard to cultivate, 9 times out of 10 can only reproduce them by seeds, are probably the slowest growers I know (they live up to 50 years, and adults one are 2-3 inches tall), and are very very picky about watering mostly because they have a year-round growing process

Can’t really relate to having any of these plants. It would be interesting to see this for more common varieties.

I would love to see how you do your decor in the background.

If I spent more than $100 on a plant I'd be babying that thing for sure! Awesome video!

I really like this videos! So much information in a fun and easy way!🌱

this is basically every plant for me :( u a queen, also that hair tho!!

This video was so well done! And super entertaining. It's like dishing the tea on some plants. lol

I am amazed at the knowledge you have! No anxiety for me!! Good info.

I really liked this video! It was an interesting topic and you did a great job with the animations.

Takeaway: Lots of aroids are really cool, but make less-than-ideal houseplants!

I’m HERE for half hour+ videos, thanks for making this ❤️

I just love listening to you, and learning valuable information for caring for my plants. Your a plant fairy

I love your videos, Kaylee. Not only are they informative but they are so fun and entertaining. Your personality just pops in every one💕

What a great video, It gave me anxiety just watching it!! I think a great video Idea would be like plant trends you think will happen in 2020. Thanks so much for a great video Kaylee!! 🤗💚🌿💚

YASSS good old fashioned Kaylee Ellen countdown! Love it!

I don't know why but watching this video gives me anxiety too 🤣

I have a splendidum and my gosh, it's a diva. Melted 3 times for the slightest reason. When a sliver of direct morning sun touched it, melted. When the humidity drops below 100%, melted. When it is too humid and condensation occurs on the container, melted.

sweet thanks for the list of plants i now have to own! 🙃 this was awesome!!

this is why i mostly stick to cacti and succulents they are mostly more forgiving if you know their requirements and mess up once in a while :D

I once got totally insane over gardenia, out of all plants.. It was not expensive, but flowerbed beautifully and had so many new buds - I wanted it to flower so badly.. Almost every single bud fell off without opening. And that was after I did the entire research and cared for it correctly. I was out of my mind. Anxiety level 100 out of 10. So. Much. Time. Wasted.

Lol I thought the title implied they produce hormones that make you anxious🤦🏾‍♀️😂

This is a genius idea for a video. Gonna enjoy this with my dinner. Thanks keep em coming. 💜

Epic as always babe!!! Now you've got me scared! Some of those are on my wishlist. Eak!!!

Excellent explanation .Its a scientific way of looking at those House plants .I really like to see your videos because they are really educational,thoughtful and full of unknown facts. You would have devoted lot of time to do such videos.Thank you ! (Sri Lanka ).

I enjoyed watching these ...unicorn plants, but other than that mmm... sorry. I guess, as you've already mentioned, we all have our own personal standards, accessibility, etc, but my "not really expensive plant" means 10-15€, 20€ is my limit price per plant (unless it's really huge, then I might pay up to 30€. Maybe), yours is 80£+. I would really love watching a similar video with some "common and real" plants. Have a great weekend!! 😃

I had a pretty good idea at the beginning of this video what number 1 and 2 were going to be :) I'm wondering how number 1 and 2 are doing for you? Will there be a "where are they now" video in the near future? And I'm also curious as to what your top ten list of favorite and most disliked common houseplants would be.

the graphics on this video!! 🙌🙌🙌

Love the new style of the text in the video! Super nice.

, only a minute and a half in the video and I already know I want all 10 of these plants I love the challenge

Dish the dirt, send nodes and risk of the crisp shirts needed

Be the first plant KZfaqr to do "order with me" where you go on a website and we go on the website with you and order the same plant that you do

Great graphics Kaylee! The video was really well made. ♥️

Tehe so cute... crunchy chip n dips.... pass the salt.... 🧂😋

Love her hair😛💝

Here we are three years later, Spiritus Sancti can now not only be purchased for just over $100, but I own a hybrid Ss X Esmeraldense

You look absolutely lovely! I love your hair! Happy holidays ✨💕

Love this! I would like more videos like these.

Yasss...we needed this as a little Christmas gift to us! Thank YouUu...

I love this title

Varagated Adansonii.... I can't keep the regular one alive, lol. If I had to put my vote in for another video, how about, everything about pink princess philodendron..... I know, it's over done. But I dont have one, and hope to have one, and want to know everything about her! Lol. Your videos are amazing, and your awesome, thanks for everything! 💗👍

I've read that obliqua is in tissue culture right now, so at least it'll be more available soon, so long as it doesn't appear overly deformed, the demand for them should still be pretty high for a while.

I am the Snake Plant I like seeing other plants being crisped and their owner suffer from anxiety. Mu Hahahah 🤣

OMG I can't believe how much the Anthurium Dorayaki looks like a dorayaki 😂 It's so cute!

Bought an obliqua, and Lord I can RELATE to that anxiety thing.

Does a terrarium increase risk of rot? This may happen under poor air circulation. And by the way, tortoises are not affected by the calcium oxalate crystals found in aroids. I had a similar problem with Zantedeschias.
