You definitely have my vote for the video idea about variegation. I'd love to hear about the ways to recognize if something has the potential to be variegated, like how you can check the stems sometimes. Sounds like an interesting topic, and kind of fun to see how you, as a plant seller, might choose vs those of us who are just customers. Random aside, love the aesthetic of the light blouse with the dark nails. Looks fab!

I feel bad for everyone because I ordered a philodendron 69686 online and got it 2 weeks later, upon opening… I found a newly unfurled leaf and another one growing. It immediately flourished and in 4 months I’ve gotten 5 new progressively mature leaves!

You look so beautiful today! That beige top and light background really compliments your skin tone and eye color!

I found out about philodendron paraiso verde through this video and it’s currently my favourite plant and I just bought one today 😭😭 I love the gangly long petioles and ruffles leaves

I too would love a verigation video. And yes I completely agree that people shouldn't sell fake ass named plants. Me being primarily an orchid grower I love the lineage and ancestry of each particular plant. I have some legacy plants that were hybridized 50 or even a hundred years ago. They do not exist anymore due to the breeders closing up shop or passing away etc. Thanks for all your vids and the blunt honesty you bring to the table.

I love all my Alocasia but could totally understand why you wouldn’t want to sell them because they are definitely drama queens!!

Yes a video of what variegated to buy and what not to buy and the ones most likely to revert. Thank you. I enjoy your videos so much and have learned so much from them.

Off topic, but you should do a video on fertilizing and what you use/how often. There’s a ton of info out there and it can be overwhelming

Definitely do the variegation video. Thank you Kaylee. 👍

Philodendron White Princess "Tricolor" and Hoya Crimson Queen "Tricolor" are currently my favourite BS variegations. Any White Princess can sport some pink patterns here and there and Crimson Queens always have new growth in pink or even reddish colours depending on the light conditions.

Every single seller in my area, big box stores and local independent small plant nursery, are all calling Krimson Queen a 'tricolor'. It is driving me nuts!

Thank you for keeping the names on the screen while talking about them. Really appreciate it 🤓

I love your videos because they're so informative and prevents so many new people in the plant community from being misinformed.

With your high humidity, good light and nutrition watering, we all suspect that it will be plant heaven. My dried out, chilly, low light, unregulated watering care, will not produce the same results as you can. Anyway, I would appreciate a series about the different types of growth, like who are gangly, who are bushy, who are climbers, who are crawlers, who are moist loving, who are spidermite prone, like that, doesn't need to be long videos. 😀

I got a 69686 from someone a few states away and it arrived ok. However, it was well established, only took 3 days in the post and it was in soil. I think all those factors play a huge part.

Could be a European thing or maybe also in America there are different ways of propagating them by the sellers in case it was a shop. Your and the other comments about the well shipped ones remind me of the case with the Monstera Thai first generation and the "newer" ones.

I observed some sellers also telling it was reverted like "reverted florida beauty" but its actually a florida green just to sell it more pricy.

The light background, neutral top and overall hair/makeup coloring of your video are all beautiful in this episode. I’ve been watching a long time and love the channel & content so I’m not trying to objectify you. While I also appreciate your brands’ consistent and sophisticated“dark theme”/color ways, this change up looks fresh and so lovely!

I have Philodendron serpens and I love it. You can grow him in your living room since he don't demand high humidity like some plants do 🌱 and his furry stems and sexy big leaves is just amazing 😍 he grows pretty fast as well 😊

That’s like the pink princess they call black cherry. As soon as I got a normal pink princess and it was pushing leaves in my care they came out super dark it’s not black cherry lol it’s just my conditions. I also have another one that someone told me is marble. Well I didn’t buy it as that and I don’t think so I think it has high variegation and y’all are shocked because you can barely find one with high color these days. Lawd. Making shit up as we go 😂

I would love a video about what variegation to buy! It's so frustrating to never feel like you can get your plant back to what you know it could be, if you could only find the right conditions. I've reached the point where I'd rather just stick to the easy ones.

I find variegation so fascinating, I keep chopping up my marble queen just to watch what different sections of it will do 😂 so yes I will listen to you talk about anything variegation related lol

Paraiso definitely used to be a plant that I liked… and then I got it. I also hate how it grows. It’s not worth it to me.

What I learned from alocasias is that they absolutely hate being changed from soil growing medium to semi hydro. If you want to grow an alocasia in semi hydro consider buying bulbs and growing them yourselves if you can't find a seller who already sells them grown in semi hydro. They completely die back and rot within hours of changing from soil lol

Assumption: Theres no marble or mint pinnatum. I grow a pinnatum variegata and it's huge and almost every leaf could be all of them. It's a matter of genetics, light, water and fertilizer. I could even make up a pinnatum cream because some of my leaves don't have all of the variegation layers.

re: 68686's - I've been lucky, I guess. In April, I imported a couple from overseas - they arrived with great roots and the leaves were honestly perfect, so cute and quirky-looking with that shape they have, know what I mean? Anyhow, the leaves ranged in length from about 20-25cm. Because they were relatively inexpensive, I took a chance and after letting them sit in water for a day, I chopped them into single node cuttings the day after I unwrapped them - every single one of my cuttings kept the same perfect leaf that it arrived with. They were not kept in a greenhouse, but just in normal household conditions. Some of the cuttings rooted pretty fast (within a month), others took 2 months to start doing anything, and 1 of them is super slow (i.e. it still hasn't grown new roots, so the leaf is a bit limp, although still super green and normal looking). It's been over 3 months and so far I haven't lost a single cutting (I bought 2 plants and chopped them into 7 cuttings). You grow in leca, right? I wonder if the issue is that they didn't like leca? Maybe transitioning from whatever they were grown in at the supplier to growing in leca at your place was too stressful for them? I propagated mine in sphagnum, and put the bottom cuttings in aroid mix. Also, I watered with distilled water, not tap water.

I love my paraiso, but tbf i also grew it from a little tiny condiment cup plant so i feel like that influences my thoughts a little, but oh my gosh i agree with you on how gangly they are

I’m a plant mama to a paraiso verde. I love it, mine honestly grows neatly and the nodes are near one another… but it’s a lot of hard work though. And the variegation is quite nice so far…. ☺️

I'm in Britain and have shipped loads of 69686 with no problems at all. I do remember Kaylee saying she was having trouble with them before she'd shipped any, while they were still in her warehouse.

I remember when watching the video and you brought up the philodendron blah 'blood". Caught my attention big time. Before the video finished I was on it. . No real intentions of purchasing already knowing what the cost would be like. I just needed to know more. I don't remember what name I found it under but when I did and the price floored me. Thinking I lucked out finding at the price i did. Before price shot through the roof. Would not be the first time you have given me interest in something before it hit the US or for whatever reason wasn't expensive here. Purchased and received confirmation before I hit play again and thanked you Kaylee. She arrived a few days later smaller than I expected but decent and healthy. She has more than doubled in size. According to searching way more doubled in price as well. No interest or want to ever sell her. Again thank you Kaylee. 😀🌱😀🌱❤️🌱😀❤️

I recently ordered a Jose Buono from Enid, let me be the first to tell you that this plant arrived PERFECTLY. Still no yellowing, no bumps, bruises, cuts absolutely no damage. Shout-out to NSE tropicals! I'm just getting into more uncommon plants and Kaylee is 100% my next stop. This is a sickness 😅😅

That is a great video idea! I know a lot of us would love to see it since variegated plants are always in such high demand!

This is small fries, but I've recently seen Philodendron Brasil "Carnival" pop up online. I was taken aback because it looks precisely like my Brasil that gets bright afternoon light. 🙄 Don't pay for a Carnival. Give your $5 Brasil a ton of light and a moss pole. You will get absolutely stunning variegation.

Can you show us the hastatum silver variegata philodendron?

your makeup look is so summery and fresh!

Thank you for this video, great topic. I like that your honest on the content that you talk about.

Literally everything listed as dislikes about Paraiso Verde is because she's not giving it enough light 🤭 (long petiole/internodes("gangly" look) = etiolation and low var is the plant producing more photosynthetic pigments to try to milk as much light out of their environment as they possibly can) I know this was a few months ago, but I just started watching this back-log and I've grown/sold PPVs for years now, so when I heard Kaylee say she dislikes them I knew this was going to be why -- not many people know about their light addictions, so they get labeled as "difficult" or "troublemakers" (which I find uncomfortably relatable lol) Figured I'd leave a little note -- just in case anyone else happens to read this who is having trouble with theirs! Of course, they still like to be warm, and sweaty (decent humidity) like other Philos, but Paraisos are also absolute fiends for light. I know it's admittedly not normally true of Philos, but trust me -- these ones want to be in a spot that gets a few hrs of direct sun in the morning or evening, (not direct sun all day, just a few hours) AND also bright indirect for the rest of the day (or a front-row seat to the all-day grow-light show). Any "reversion" is because of a prolonged period of cloudy/overcast weather (or because they got moved away from the grow-light) and once they start getting enough light again, the variegation will come right back. That said, sometimes if it's been in lower-light setting for a long while, a plant may take sitting in a high-light area over the course of the next 2-3 leaves to start putting out really good patterning again, (you should see moderately less green with each new leaf until one just pops out fully variegated again) but it always brings it back eventually if you give them that light they crave -- they can't truly revert.

I bought a 69868 one week ago, here in the U.K., very established, three growth points and it’s absolutely fine, spent three days in a box getting here, in very old weather, but still looking amazing, and I think it’s going to be fine. Stunning plants

I agree about the Paraiso! I wish I had known prior to buying mine. They remind me of a lot of Alocasia the way they grow. Ugh, I stopped buying them as well so I agree with that too.

I imported a squamicaule within a couple of weeks of your video when you hauled them, and it absolutely melted in shipping and then every growth point rotted in my care. When I’m starting to look at a replacement I’m having to rethink how much I love it…

The corsinianum has been low maintenance in my experience so far. I ordered one over 6 months ago and I basically stuck it in a prop box to quarantine without even checking it. Fast forward a month later, I finally got around to looking at it and found out it was riddled with spider mites. Treated it, and put it back in the box. I moved houses and it eventually graduated from out of the box and into my patio. Despite all my neglect, it hasn’t slowed down in growth at all and the leave look perfect (other than 2-3 leaves with spider mite speckles). Idk honestly 🤷🏻‍♀️

I experimented with keeping a grow tent in my garage this summer and omg my reverted paraiso verde has been popping off in 90 degree+ heat at 80% humidity. (My white princess too has been loving it too omg) Maybe they would like an outdoor greenhouse in warm weather. Paraisos sank to about $50-$80 locally (OKC USA) luckily I bought it cheap as a reverted cutting.

As an Australian it drives me bananas when people call a whiter marble queen pothos a snow queen. It's the SAME PLANT just had better light to bask in. Also, Snow queen pothos here are NJoy/Glacier plants overseas (our look a combination between the two, I've had many US people tell me I'm mislabelling the plant but the name NJoy belongs to the university that created it and it can cost alot of money to use, hence the different name.

See I’ve had the opposite experience with Alocasia.. every time I’ve gotten one shipped they look alittle wonky for a few days but straighten up once they get some light.

I love my Paraiso Verde. It's so chill. I also love smoking weed before getting into plant maintenance. And to me it looks like so does P.PV., I blow the smoke near it sometimes and it preens. Also unlike all the other fancy upright plants around it, as you say, this one just always looks relaxed so you don't worry so much about things that you worry about with others - being in Canada where my plants just got attacked by an ice storm in August and temps will hit -52 this coming winter - if you're a consistent grower your plants acting out doesn't have much to do with you. This one pressures me the least. I'm also very fond of the snowy iridescent white canvas speckled variagation on younger leaves growing into red outlined larger blooms...it's so delightfully how stable it is and that you can fully control the variagation with light and warmth. The leaves are gorgeous and the slight mottling is appealing to me, like with the Monstera Oceana or a Syngonium mojito with a slight calcium deficiency. I play around with this plant and you can get a different colour on every leaf if you rotate it just right. We have so much fun, it's my best bud. Your reasons are so shallow (just joking all love here, of course aesthetic matters, with no different opinions there's zero fun ) - I feel like you should go on a botaniality dating show with this plant and I bet it'll turn out it's actually your perfect balancing match LOL 🌿💋
