I’m somewhat of a weirdo, I guess, because I don’t like variegated plants. Although I think your frydek is beautiful, I still prefer the regular frydek. And, as for the warquenum, no no no it doesn’t need variegation, it gorgeous the way it is.

@warp8718 ай бұрын
agree, they look like they are diseased. there are so many things you can admire anthuriums for, the natural variability is insane. you hardly see the same venation, colour, texture, sinuses etc. between plants of the same ID (some exceptions to this). i suppose the downside of this is that they hold their value pretty well, in the world of anthuriums you often pay for certain desired characteristics, or the insanely priced one offs that will never be seen as not prestigious etc. (offsets of some of the papillilaminum forms, crosses like the circus peanuts etc.) the only chance of these getting more affordable is TC (like the Delta Force)

Delta Force originates from one unique specimen and can only be attained from cutting or tissue culture. It can't be recreated just by crossing clarinervium and pedatoradiatum, although many have tried. Kaylee Ellen at The Rare Plant Shop in the U.K. was selling them for 150 pounds (I bought one and imported it to the U.S. and it was STILL cheaper than what a lot of people are selling them for here). DF is confirmed in tissue culture by some large labs so you might be able to get yours hands on one for a decent price in the next year or two!

Generally, I'm not into variegated plants. I like plants that have white veining for example, or white Caladiums, or plants that have natural varigation like Euonymus Japonicus, or Manjula Pothos, but while half moon leaves look amazing as they're new, I don't care for how they look as they're more mature. I also don't care for the idea of breeding to make a plant ill; or to pay absurd "rare" plant prices; I think basically people are looking for exclusivity in vegetation, and there's something in that, which makes me uncomfortable.

It's not true that the burle marx flame is a slow grower. Not at all. It grows just as fast as for example a small form Monstera deliciosa, about 1 leaf/3,5-4 weeks. It grows slower because people don't give theirs enough light - the BMF is an extremely light-hungry plant, much more so than your typical Monstera deliciosa.

You can't "create" a Delta Force. Yes it's a cross of clarinervium x pedatoradiatum, but the "Delta Force" was one of many hundred seedlings that showed very different traits to all the others. It's basically an one-off mutation. But it's been in tissue culture already and therefore price for that specific clone "Delta Force" will inevitable drop quickly. They're already sold for under 130€ in Germany.

I don't understand the concept of plants that go into or out of fashion. They're plants. Their genus has existed for hundreds and thousands of years. I also don't understand the idea of astronomical plant prices under the guise of "rarity". I'm Colombian. Philedendron, Monsteras, Anthuriums, etc., abound in my country. Exotic or "rare" to me is a Foxglove, a tulip, or an iris. International trade exists. It's established. A 3-4 leaf Anthurium Waroqueanum with 18 in/ 45 cm size leaves, retails for roughly $25.00 USD. I understand phytosanitary permits, product loss, transport and commercial costs, but current market prices, don't justify the difference.

I haven't chased variegation in plants. I never made it a priority especially when some plants in their normal state are hard to come by without paying a hefty premium. If I happen to come across a particular variegated plant for a reasonable price then, okay, I may purchase it. I also think that its matter of personal preference. I find that I prefer plants in their normal non-variegated state. Variegation always struck me as "flawed" looking and as I understand it, some plants tend to revert back to the normal green state... and then what would be the point of that especially when the price is so much higher?

This is so interesting to me. I never heard of any of these plants. Thank you for showing them and talking about them! It's always odd to me what humans decide to call 'hybrids'. A german shephard dog is mix of wolf and domestic dog breeds. A cattle dog is a mix of dingo and domestic dog breeds. But no one calls them hybrids, even if you mixed a cattledog and german shaphard together. Or a great dane and a husky. But a coyote and wolf mix (this happens in the USA in the wild. Entire packs are coyote wolf mixes) are considered hybrids, or a wolf/dog first generation mix. Why is the same species mixing considered a hybrid in some cases but not others? The same with plants, I don't get how 2 philodendron are called hybrids if they are in the same family. I would think a hybrid would be more like a apple mixed with a pumkin.

You cannot get a delta force by crossing the two plants. It is a mutation and is one of a kind. That is why it's priced so highly

I got my mint Monstera kind of on the cheaper side by getting it in tissue culture and groaning it out which I’ve come to find out that if you’re buying anything from a box door 95% of the time that thing was tissue cultured, so do you think you don’t have any, you’re wrong

Don’t be put off a burle Marx flame, I have two and both have given me 8 leaves each this year, roughly a new leaf every 7 weeks. My anthurium regale has given me two leaves this year, and that is most certainly slow! So don’t listen to people that say BMF are slow growers, they are not, and growth pretty similar to a standard monstera deliciosa.
