CEBU BLUE Scam? / Do you own Epipremnum pinnatum OR Epipremnum pinnatum Cebu Blue?

Ойын-сауық

Plant Lovers! I had to make this impromptu video about the Cebu Blue vs. the "normal" Epipremnum Pinnatum! Yesterday evening I discovered, that almost all sellers of those plants label their plants WRONG! And you, like me probably, did not buy a Cebu... like it was written. Do they do this on purpose to make a quick buck on this new plant craze? Is this another Pink Congo Story? Or do they also not know?
-- in a nutshell: Cebu Blue leaves a very pale and slightly more textured when they are juvenile, they don't have this dark green color.

    For those looking to buy a Cebu blue and unsure of how to differentiate from the regular E. Pinnatum. The cebu blue has a silvery blue sheen to it that almost looks like the leaves were dusted with a baby blue shimmer powder. But It can’t be rubbed off. Much like the philodendron hastatum “silver sword”. Like variegation, the brighter the light the more prominent the silvery blue will show. The regular E. pinnatum in juvenile form especially have a relatively flat and smooth leaf surface much like a surface of a typical green E. aureum (Pothos) while the Cebu Blue has a more rippled like appearance almost like the M. Karstenianum but not as prominent. If you’re looking at a listing and the leaves do not have a silvery blue sheen to them and lack the rippled appearance it’s likely a mislabeled E. Pinnatum.

    Great video looking forward to watching some of your videos! It just seems like there's not enough time in the day to watch all the videos about plants to expand my knowledge... I've been growing plants since I was a kid and helping and my mom's flower beds and neighbors Gardens. I'm now in my seventh decade I love how I learn something new everyday. My great-grandfather immigrated to America when he was just a kid. He died when he was in his 90s in the 1970s. I love your accent and I admire your ability to learn a second language especially English which supposedly is one of the hardest languages to learn. I had a student help me for a senior project when I first started teaching. He was from Japan and I guess his father was pretty wealthy because he was at a private school where only wealthy parents send their kids. He was helping in my classroom for his senior project and he told me that in Japan they have 52 letters or characters in their alphabet but each of those 52 make the same sound. Unlike English where we have long vowel short vowels, silent letters, diphthongs soft G hard G. C sounding like k or s and then you get to why which sometimes sounds like a consonant and sometimes sounds like a vowel I! So I love your accent and yes when you pronounce an S it sort of sounds like Z but I can't pronounce any words in German! All four of my children took four years of German and high school and one son even added two years of Latin to the four years of German. I struggled with French and Latin in high school but I think it was because I didn't do my job memorizing vocabulary and in French class we had people speaking French on audio tapes and the teacher would read the story and the textbook and a textbook was always closed on our end. I'm a visual learner and I needed to see the word while she was pronouncing it so I'm glad I didn't have to learn how to speak French fluently! So I admire all of you and your that can speak English so very very well! And I don't mind the vacuum sweeper there I filmed my videos for KZread and sometimes the dust mop has been in the background teehee

I noted that the leaves didn't have the characteristic blue sheen, thinking it had to do with them being cuttings that had been in the mail for a few days in intense heat. I'm thinking I might have the other one, but I hope not! Thanks for the in depth video! New subbie, here!

    I know this is an older video now. I just wanted to tell you my Epipremnum Pinnatum I bought a few weeks ago as a large stem cutting/cuttings is already starting to fenestrate too. Right now it is just wee holes down the mid rib. At first I was afraid it was a bug dining but now the wee dots are starting to open up and are too evenly spaced and same on many leaves. So exciting. Now my stem cuttings these new leaves started from are really large. About as big around as my thumb. the new growth coming from them is 6 to 10 inches long so very immature leaves. Even so I now have holes and one even smaller split. I just discovered this last night. Such fun plants. I was so pleased with the first one I bought a second from the same seller. They came semi potted more to protect the roots during shipping than a pot to live in. So glad I saw your video. But Girl is has cost me some change. Hahahahaha Well spent for the joy it is giving me.

I have already made up tall moss poles for them and the Tetrasperma I bought. I am really enjoying growing upwards. Appears the plants are too. Thanks for sharing this information. I had no idea. Was told the Cebu Blue would do the fenestrations and I guess as you also say after years they will. I am not sure I have a whole lot of years to wait for it.

It's just so funny when it comes to identifying our plants what goes on in the plant world. Thanks again, and lucky for you that you have a normal Epipremnum, and that it's got those awesoem split leaves, I'm sad that I can't find one like this, I think it's considered rare here in the US, maybe someday they will be more readily available.

I also was confused why it had split at a very young age, thank goodness I came across your video. I have few questions: 1. so does the real Cebu Blue, split also as they mature and climb? 2. do you happen to know any seller that ship here in the Philippines?

From the Costa Farms grower and there is a video out on it under Baltic Blue. I have the cebublue.. Like you I am thrilled to have the young plant with fenestrations. This is all so fun and fasinating and a win win for us plant lovers because both plants are gorgeous. OH the one thing I noticed so far on the Baltic Blue verses the EP I have are there are no mid line holes in the leaves yet. Maybe too young or maybe they just split and do not fet the little holes mid line.

    I’m curious as to the value of you Pinnatum as opposed to the real Cebu Blue. It’s to bad you live in Berlin, otherwise I would send you tons of cutting from my real Cebu Blue. I’m constantly cutting it to keep it more sphere like as it is in a hanging basket. It grows so fast 💨. I’m sure the postage cost would not really make it worth it in the end, but if you want to pay the postage....I would be happy to send you cuttings ☺️. Thanks for this interesting video, I never knew there was such a controversy over the exact plant species name. I knew from the start that the plant should have that blue-ish tinge. I think I have educated myself on certain plants that I intend to buy, so I’m not disappointed that the seller marked it wrong. I’ve seen that done so many times here in the states it’s crazy. Sometimes it’s the actual store employees who put the tags on the plants and they don’t know or care that they have just labeled 5 different plants with the same tag, I think it comes down to the price on the tags, so they figure, 🤷🏻‍♀️ who cares....WE CARE! I want a proper label on the plant I buy. I hope in the end the seller does send you the correct plant, or at least gives you a refund or credit. Let us know what happens. Thank you. Happy Planting 💜🌺🌸

    Im from Philippines and just got my cebu blue 2weeks ago. Juvi leaves have splits already. I have 2 leaves only but both leaves have splits.. The one they called cebu blue with small leaves and have no split leaves are called "local cebu blue" here in PH. Maybe thats the one my seller explained to me. You are right if the seller does not know the difference between the local cebu blue and the authentic cebu blue. Happy planting.

  • @13bunnylove13

    The Thailand variation has the fenestrations at an early age- like the ones originally from Cebu Island... the one that has been cloned/cultured in the USA and distributed is different and will not show those fenestrations for many many years. I have spoken to many nurseries and experts as well as looked online, but I also have one with frustrating leaves but purchased it from a very trusted seller that does their research. One nursery actually had both in stock and they really are the same, just one is starting to show fenestrations (and more expensive as it was imported and not a clone). What you have does not look like it though- it does not look like the silver-blue I have here beside me... I have heard of people selling pothos and claiminng it to be epipneprum for a profit- beware places like Etsy and people who just want to make a quick profit (saw a pink congo on there for $200 recently lol)

    Habe selber erst kürzlich eine vermeintliche Cebu Blue online bestellt, kann aber nach deinem Video auch mit Sicherheit sagen, dass es sich um eine gewöhnliche Epipremnum Pinnatum handelt. War bisschen teuer dafür, aber dann wiederum wurde ich hauptsächlich von den gespaltenen Blättern angezogen, also schon OK :) Der Witz ist, dass man diese Art der Epipremnum Pinnatum mit dieser länglichen Blattform mittlerweile ja auch kaum mehr findet hierzulande, AUßER eben fälschlich als Cebu Blue oder Blue form deklariert. Hingegen wird - glaube ich - nun die Aureum als die sozusagen "basic" Form verstanden. Zumindest so mein Eindruck.

    Oh my giddy aunt... this cleared more than one foggy patch for me, good to know about the cebu blue v no blue at all lol But for me, an interesting piece of info I read in exotic rainforest dot com is that what I bought as Epipremnum Brazil or Pothos Brazil, is actually not at all Epi/Pothos it is a Philodendron: Philodendron Hederaceum Brazil (I'm going to assume that Brazil still stands) and a "z" not an "s" Now, like you, I'm glad I have Mr brazil in my life, it doesn't bother me that I have mis sold a plant, I much prefer to have it rather than not have it... but it does bug me that so many times we see the same plants with different names, I like indoor climbers and it is very frustrating when I think I found a new variety, and its in fact a fictitious name to make sales. And yes "rare plant" puts me right off that seller, I instantly leave and find it elsewhere - often cheaper too :-) Thank you very much indeed for posting your findings for us all to see. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

    I'm a yr late, but just some tips. A regular EP is just green, from its juvenile form up to maturity. The EP Cebu Blue has a silvery blue, or bluish gray shade even from juvenile form up to maturity. And the leaves are flat and "sturdy. " Also, I think it would be better if you go to the nursery to see the plant before purchasing it to be sure, rather than buying online. Or, if it can be done, buy it from the Philippines 😊 Tho right now, it is not allowed to ship Cebu Blue outside of the Philippines.

    The Cebu blue is somewhat common in North America. Much than the regular pinnatum. And fenestration isn't a matter of age, they simply have to get plenty of light and to climb on something. Same for the epipremnum aureum (regular pothos), but it easier with the Cebu blue.

  • @ronpalma17

    That is commonly called here in the philippines as "Dragon tail" and will give you big fenestrated leaves. It is also called a poor man's monstera deliciosa because the mature leaves kinda resembles the mature leaves of M. deliciosa.
