@@Cloud-fc3phTHANK YOU. I was blown away when I saw his face in this video and it wasn’t explaining the black truncata situation. Also there was a more recent experience with him being in the area during a break in at a carnivorous nursery in California. It is said he is the reason why most nepenthes nurseries are closed to the public.

Thank you for your research and the video, very interesting to find out about the once coveted SS and it’s rise and decline in prices. So very sad about the destruction of the rain forests if it continues at the rate it is so many beautiful animals and plants could be gone before our great grandchildren have a chance to experience what it has to offer.

I share the same sentiments with you!!! Me and my mom started collecting lots of plants in 20/20 of course just like the rest of the world did during the start of the pandemic!!! But, my mom and I already love plant collecting long before!!!!!!! Way,way long before this so called #PLANTDEMIC🌱🌿☘️ happened all over the world 🌎 After more or less 3 years of collecting plants all the way from several philodendrons,aglaonema,calatheas, etc.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,our house is now a jungle!!! By the way, I have always been fascinated with Orchids long before but, the pandemic definitely made it more exciting and interesting 😁🤔😘

While still popular, I don’t think Anthuriums or quite as notorious as the PSS - but there were some plants poached this year. Both Lago Gatun papillilaminum and Dressleri from Panamá were ripped from their native lands illegally in recent months.

It seems people will never learn - so many plants are endangered now because of poaching and greed. The Spiritus are still fairly pricey over here in Australia (around the $1500AUD mark I think) as we're always slow to get anything courtesy of our tough import laws. I'm looking forward to the tissue culture ones eventually trickling down through the market like they have in the US because they are such stunning plants. I love strappy leafed plants!

What's funny is most people just like the name. This is why the plant has such prestige, the cool name. It's a relatively pretty, but there are plenty of philodendrons that look extremely similar. I personal think the velvet philodendron are much more georgious.

It is sad about the habitat destruction which I was aware of I am glad that in some way PSS will be saved by its reproduction. It is interesting and I don’t know if you came upon this in your research that it is hard to reproduce it by hacking a piece off of it. Hence making the crime of poaching them even harder. I have a seedling gifted to me on Mother’s Day and it does grow slowly. I would love if you made a care video of the PSS growing in different conditions. Thank you for the excellently researched video.

The Philodendron Spiritus-Sancti does not look more attractive than the very similar Philodendron atabapoense and the P. billettae.

I might be judgy for thinking this, but people who got a spiritus sancti as their first plant irk me. Not because of jealousy, but because of all the plants you could start with, you chose to get one that is known to be so elusive in the wild, one that has such a high price tag attached to it, and one that has the greatest demand among all other plants in the plant community? What if it dies in your care because of your lack of experience? It feels like those people only chose this as their starter plant to feel a sense of superiority, without actually caring about having enough experience to keep a rare (in the wild) plant alive. Of course one could say that I don't know them personally so I' m assuming a lot, but their decision already says a lot about themselves for me
