I actually love the way the Rare plant market operates compared to other "luxury" goods markets. New and interesting things are discovered and their prices are ridiculous, but people clout chasing or collectors are willing to pay those prices, and within a year or so enough tissue cultures are created to drop the price to reasonable levels for those who actually just really like and want the plant but can't afford to drop thousands of dollars to add it to their collection. It is nice that this community has people who can afford to pay such steep prices for new and rare plants, but who are also willing to allow tissue cultures to be taken and sold off their mother plant to saturate the market.

I’m from Singapore. Here’s the trend for us.. 1. BMF and SS is basically fast becoming a toilet plant. The prices are dropping. You can get a BMF/ SS for less than SGD$100. 2. Everyone wants a delta force and is waiting to get their hands on one. I got mine for SGD$200. 3. Orange princess/ pink galaxy is everywhere here. SGD$40 a pot 4. Deli area and albo is still VERY expensive here because of how slow growing the plant is. 5. Billie is still very expensive but surely going down. In Singapore, we like bet on reverted plants. So plants like golden dragon and Billie can go as low as SGD$100 for a single leaf cutting. You are betting that the next leaf has variegation again. I was personally very lucky had a SSS variegation from a single leaf cutting. 6. The caramel marble prices is coming down because many people are cutting their plants. Though there are many listings at lower prices, these usually have very low variegation. Those with pink and well marbled hues are still very highly priced. lastly, just to share, with variegated plants, one should always try and go for a plant with good genes. If the price is out of reach at the moment, wait a little while. There’s really no point in buying poor gens plants because they are never gonna look like the dream plants. All the best to all in 2024! Happy planting!

Another great video! I think you’re spot on about prices not just because of TC but the economy, in general. Lots of people are struggling with bills and as lovely and desirable as plants are, people are willing to wait for lack of demand, and overabundance of TC to get their plants. What will be interesting is seeing if any of these plants become “rare” again as the flooded market adjusts, sellers quit producing them, and masses of people lose/kill their plants off. 😏 As for the anthurium, I agree there too, except I’m also going to throw in that more people are going to be interested in “Dark pretty anthurium” than they are “RA this” or “OG that”…because the Ecuadorian suppliers have *flooded* the entire world with Central and South American plants. Everything has been made available in their own massive TC labs, as well as the Asian labs, so the exclusivity some sellers have enjoyed is about to end. The only exclusiveness that will be left is figuring out how to keep a Debilis/Kuna alive outside a cabinet. 😂

I can’t wait for the BMF to get consistently at $100. I’ll definitely be getting one once that happens. To my understanding, all the specimens on the market are likely tissue culture, whether it’s a small plant or a cutting. Since the BMF is like the DF, and it’s from a specific individual from Burle Marx collections in Brazil.

Shade on the OG anthurium! I have a queen and big bill acclimating from the bag. I'm trying to collect the "basic" anthurium, but I'm so bad at growing them, even in a climate controlled space. I'm hoping if I grow from plugs/tc babes, they'll like my conditions more (which aren't bad at all at 70-80°, 70-80% humidity).

They are doing so without stable variegation, so you are correct-some will come out with good marbled coloring, but some will come out all green/ all variegated
