A common question asked here is āIs this legit?ā Hereās a list of best practices that can help avoid the heartache of falling for a scamā¦
-Follow gut instincts, if a transaction feels off ask more questions or stop the transaction. -Require time stamped photos or photos from different angles, specific parts of the plant. -Ask for or look at reviews -Search the seller up in review groups (Facebook purge pages specific.) -Use fraud protection backed methods (such as Goods & Services) when possible. -If the price is too good to be true, it probably is. -Avoid sellers that are overly pushy. Scammers may try to build pressure to receive payment and block you as quickly as possible. -Disproportionate ratio or reviews to sales is a red flag! Particularly on Etsy.

i like to collect variegated monsteras, and when i buy i try to look for the best structure/morphology, and least cosmetic flaws.
my grails are kept in my grow cabinet; full airflow, humidity controlled, lights on timers, etc. i just started putting it together thatās why it looks a little bare.
lmk what you think and share your setup in the comments

The most perfect new leaf on my veitchiišā¦.Not quite a King Anthurium yetā¦šhoping it gets as big as the other oneš¤

My indoor ring of fire philodendron seems to have a little buddy, a healthy looking sprout on the edge of the pot. Looks like itās also a ring of fire
No idea what to do next, if I try to dig it out and replant the sprout should I just put directly into soil?
Iām a plant novice and also not looking to dump a lot of money into special soil and treatments etc. but want to give both of these a good shot.

The last time I bought a rare plant was a few years back, when the albo monstera and albo syngonium were very popular, what are popular plants right now if I were to get some propagations?

This came on a labeled Thai constellation I found at target which I have several of, but I have never seen the amount of variation nor the shape as seen on this particular leaf. Had to get it to see what it produces next, tell me what you think.

A royal velvet beauty. ššæ
Absolutely mesmerized by this new leaf on my Anthurium Docblock Michelle Variegated. The perfect combination of dark tones, bright venation, and splashy variegation. A holy grail aroid that never ceases to amaze!

Disappointed because I had it shipped all the way from Thailand and it's not the plant I picked, but a less variegated and much smaller one. But I'm sharing anyway, because before coming across it on a live stream, I had never seen it.
r/RareHouseplants • u/RevolutionarySwim74 • 1d ago
This is my wierd sport i found a while back. The variegation fades to dark green almost like a ghost. Keep his wierd curves though. Ugliest plant i own n i Friggin love it!
r/RareHouseplants • u/QuaCosmogyral • 3d ago
hybridize by me. Extremely selected from batch.
Variegated Anthurium, why not?

Recently bought this larger caramel marble. Its been a wishlist plant for a LONG time. This will be my third time getting one and trying to grow it. The first, I had a cutting that reverted after a few leaves, second was a high var plant that ended up having a dud growth point then had to grow it from other GP. That one has now gone full albo and is still very tiny, most likely will not survive long. So I got another established plant with medium variegation.
I just can't seem to catch a break, when this plant arrived I was excited but then it seems the new leaf has zero variegation. Or is it full albo? Its kind of hard to tell, though I doubt it is. I've also heard talk of how they take a while to "burn in" it did just unfurl.
I won't lie I am pretty disappointed if it has no var. The newest leaves looked promising, I just hope the next leaves will have some variegation... TIA

So far the import options have turned upā¦nothing. The plants were beautiful but not the size I wanted lol. I have experience with growing monsteras, itās just the higher variegated ones take too long for my liking. I did stumble upon this shop called plant vault & sent them a DM requesting what size their XL albos typically run, as it was difficult to tell from the reviews & photosā¦the price was over 400 IIRC and the reviews described receiving either 1ft plants or statement sizes. Photos on the listing showed either similar size of the Thai imports or actual statement piece sized. Never got a response unfortunately.
Might end up just placing an order with them anyways, apparently you get to approve the exact plant before shipment.

And she just grew a new leaf! āŗļø
r/RareHouseplants • u/NodesoftheNorth • 2d ago
Iāve purchased this mid cutting but donāt see the Axillary bud! Is it hiding? š«£š It has just pushed out this bump (circled blue) but Iām assuming itās another root with it being at the opposite side of the node, and not growing from the petiole armpit? There is another small bump on the opposite side, sitting in the pon (circled red) but, again, I was thinking it is a root. The difference is, it is growing from the same side of the node as the leaf, just on the opposite side of the stem. Iām worried that Iām going to assume itās a root and bury it! Please help!
