I Bought a Rare Monstera on Amazon! 

02:08: Lolll. The rotten stem review was from me! Otherwise good plant shop but on that occasion I was really disappointed as the entire plant was buried in the pot way too deep and newly developing leave was completely destroyed by mold. Also, you clearly received an exceptionally big leafy end cutting of the plant. ... Lucky mr Sheffield! 😂

£8.99 Aldi although it wasn’t variegated it was large and very healthy …. Fab

Hmmm, sending you a whole plant gave them a good plug on your channel😊

Nice to see a company caring about the product that they are selling, very rare commodity in the horticulture industry.

best unboxing. no fuss, no bluff. just unboxing. great plant.

Oh god he has the ultimate Dad Outfit Guys I think he's becoming the ultimate Plant Parent

Wow. I was gonna say what you said...that's not a cutting that's a plant. Very nice

That’s me, touching every plant in the plant store.

The nightmare 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 " brown leaf no no" On another note, how gorgeous is that plant? Absolutely beautiful. Looking forward to seeing her grow

I got a bunch of plants off Amazon as a gift and they were all perfectly healthy and beautiful! I was shocked lol

Cutting??? That's a whole damn plant! Dang

Tips from someone with a Thai: •preferably put in a very chunky mix, chunkier than the sybotanica aroid mix to prevent rot. (The mother plant of Thai constellation had root rot making all the other Thai constellations susceptible to rot. •they don’t like wet feet.

Dude all I got from this video is that you're very tall. The plant was also nice.

That's definitely a real beauty! Via Amazon last autumn I bought a few smallish houseplants (from Perfect Plants in Sussex, I couldn't get out). Normal monstera, rubber plant and asparagus fern. All wonderfully healthy still growing strong for a good price, glad I took the risk. :)

Very good buy. More plant shops should be this generous.

That's definitely bigger than the one I got at Walmart for $40, but mine has much more variegation

I just bought a pair of euphorbia lactea at a decent price from Amazon. Someone else said they had received some but they were only 3” tall…okay. So I took a chance. Mine came a bit dry, 7-8” tall, pink and branching at the top, and well rooted. You never know. They are trying to compete!! I am immensely pleased. Planted now and happily growing.

Love how funny this video is. You have a great sense of humor!

I'm very impressed; you got a great deal. I work part time at a friend's greenhouse in Florida. They bought five of them from a supermarket for $60 US each. They gave me a two node cutting with a small areal root and I put it into Semi-hydro. The size of your plant, the roots, and the number of leaves, was well worth the price. I have an Albo which I have rooted in the same way. Excited to see my Ti grow.

Lucky Mr Sheffield! That’s a dandy!!

WOW gorgeous plant, great find! I bought one recently from online, and mine is just a baby compared to yours :) I can't wait to watch it grow.

Incredible coincidence! I just bought a variegated monestera for 50 euro's at Hornbach in the Netherlands (less than an hour ago). 4 adult leaves with a lot of variegation. So happy.

beautiful plant. I would love to see an update on it in the next few months

Wow....now that, my friend, is very impressive!!

I’ve noticed live plants on Amazon before but I thought they might be not good. So happy it worked out for you 😀🇨🇦

The bin looming in the background while you checked the roots gave that scene a bit of a horror movie feel 😁

Wow!!! Amazon??? Who would have thought? So glad it turned out for you.

When referring to white variegation in monstera one usually means an albo. Thai cons have cream variegaton. But theres so many different variegated monstera out there you really have to specify. A white monsters, a mint and an aurea are also variegated monstera, but they are way more expensive than an albo or a thai con (obviously you can find a ridiculous price for those as well). If possible support smaller businesses instead of Amazon! I bought a thai con cutting last year (was 40€) and it was 3 >30cm leafes. It was extremely well rooted in moss, like the entire 17cm pot was full of roots. I put my cutting in pon, because I noticed it didn't like the chunky mix I gave it (my other monstera likes it though). But the most interesting thing is that the shop I ordered it from had a 3.7 stars rating. Everything was totally fine and a actually quiet like that shop, reviews aren't that reliable.

Ironically, my first plant was a Thai constellation monstera from Bunnings. I paid AU$249 (about 135 GBP) and he came with 5 big leaves full of constellation and some with large fenestrations. It was also my first attempt at putting a plant in LECA which although has been a huge success, caused me to age by 20 years at the time (your nightmare bed scene was “funny cos its true”). Im now a proud plant dad to over 50 LECA plants, all thriving in my soil-free home. Love your work! Thanks for the humour.

Wow! That's exceeding customer expectations. Lovely plant stories too...engaging.

WOW THATS A BEAUTY!

Okey-dokey, if you say so. I understand.the world wide web knows us all. I am still looking for my plant. I will check in if I find one like yours. You have the best collection of plant babies. Your collection keeps me going. Best to you always ....Billie usa

I love your humour with the nightmare of brown leaves 🍂😂 this Monstera is a real beauty😻

I’m happy for your good luck.

The delivery-man also done a great job. Imagine how the monstera would look like, if some other heavy packages would placed upon it accidentally...

lol your humor never disappoints 😂especially when you were in bed having nightmares. I’m glad your nightmares didn’t come true and your Thai arrived in great condition🙌🥳, that’s a really great deal. I hope she grows well for you. I’ve purchased a few of the Thais and please be careful because it does live up to the hype of root rot out of the blue. Best of luck on your plant baby🪴, Amazon came through!

Hi Richard .im so glad the gamble paid off for you , looks great . I was in Lidl probably about 2 years ago and they had about 6 small variegated monstera for 10 pound each ,i picked one up and looked at it . And thought thats a bit expensive and put it back. Then i found out how rare they are noooo. My biggest none purchase regret ever !! .

I have about 25 plants from Amazon they've all been great.

You lucky dog! I'm so happy for you!

I'm glad ordering a plant from Amazon worked for you! Your videos are so entertaining. I order things from Amazon frequently, and seldom habe any complaints, but when I ordered a plant from them several years ago, got one that was all cuttings with no roots! It died quickly, so noe I only buy plants locally, mostly from Trader Joe's which has great prices on healthy plants. Nothing rare, though, and when you go in you dont know what you'll find, which is typical of Trader Joes. My store is near the Canadian border, so it's an international destination!

Fabulous cutting .. love it

I just received my first monstera through Amazon and so far so good. A couple brown spots on the leaves I'm keeping an eye on it. My first time ordering a plant online too

By coincidence I’ve just received a package of four small Pothos today (order placed 12th May). Also ordered on Amazon but delivered by Royal Mail. They have obliviously been very shaken up on route as the potting mixtures and roots have become loose in the pots. Still, they were well packed with a square of plastic sheet around each of the pots to keep the whole botanical assemblage together, so the plants themselves are fortunately just-shaken-but-not-stirred. These nurseries seem to have the packaging sorted out otherwise they would not be able to stay in business. Whilst on Monday, I was in my local plant shop asking the proprietor to look out for one of the elephant ear philodendron’s as I thought that a plant of a similar size to your Monstera would be safer in his hands. Either way, the delivery of any new botanical addition to the family is always anxiety provoking. Time for a cup of soothing Lemon Balm tea.

I bought a Flamboyant tree baby from eBay from a grower in Czech republic I think a couple of years ago. Still alive 😊

Haha you're funny plant friend 😂. Lovely monstera

I love love love you so much!! 😂😂😂 Lately, I have literally been binge watching all your videos! One of my favorites is the video where you saw mushrooms and started running around like crazy! 😂 That was me when I saw mushrooms in my plant!!! 🥴😂

You are so lucky! I have a friend in the US who can also get live plants from Amazon (he's gotten some beautiful ones!), but here, in Canada, we can only get seeds 😭💔

Awesome! Enjoy your new plant!

I found plant sellers on E-bay to be much more genuine and reliable than on Amazon. 🌿 But then I buy mostly flowering plants like pelargoniums ("geraniums") so I can't vouch for other kinds of more tropical houseplants, but they are all easy enough to look up what's available.

OMG 😮 looks awesome 🌿🌿🌿

I'm a viewer from the United States and I have a few notes: 1- 00:23 Why is this showing the opposite side in the car? Oh yeah, ok go on 2- 00:53 160 what? Let me turn on the captions... Quid? What's that? Let me Google. Oh yeah, ok go on 3- 1:32 Lucky I am originally European and I know centimeters better than I know inches 🤓 But I only know plant pots in inches! 4, 6, 8 or 10 inches 😂 Lol ok, go on The rest of the video was pretty smooth. And funny as always. Beautiful plant! Thai Constellations are coming to the big box stores in the US now, for very cheap prices, and there's a rush of people buying and warning their facebook friends 😆

You received a beautiful plant; loved this video!🪴

What a beautiful monstera 🥰😍 definitely a pleasant amazon experience!

I find it cute that people have this thing for monstera. In subtropical sydney the stuff grows outdoors like a weed and I have to keep hacking it back. It so quickly crowds out my ornamentals. I would never think of bringing it inside, it's too unwieldy.

I paid $60 for a 2-inch 2 leaf constellation so you got a fantastic deal. But I didn't get mine on Amazon I should have gone there first

Dang, I was totally waiting for the name of the store but too far 😩 anyway congrats on your beautiful monstera from Florida! 🫶 love your videos!

Wow nice price, I just got a tiny two leafed thai constellation from my local kroger store, the one plus though buying in person you can pick the one you want and inspect it first. Mine was 30 usd, not the worst. If I can grow it up from a baby it'll be happy as an adult, I'm just a little nervous bc I have a bad history with root rot, but I'm making the airiest mix I can and hoping for the best. My first monstera d type, and first monstera verigated. Good luck Mr Sheffield 👍 I look forward to seeing it's progress. I bought an orchid from Amazon and was potted in regular soil and went downhill immediately. I'll think again before getting plants from Amazon 😂 I hope you have better luck.

This video made my day. TY 🤗

Wow! Very nice 🪴

Wow, that's a lot of plant for the money!

Nurseries and plant shops always complain about not getting business but never lower their prices to attract customers... weird how that works.

ETSY is a good place for live plants!

Could you please do a video on how to keep your plants so small. I have been following your video now for years and my plants are huge by comprison. This is not a flex, it is just your plant advice is all about managing small plants, Reporting small plants, staking small plants and even daily care like watering etc. These things can change quite a bit once your plants are more mature. Since I started watching your channel, my monstera has more than doubled in size. it is no longer something that can be moved in orderto bottom water... Is this something you can do? Or is there another youtuber that tends to cover issue related to larger house plants?

Oh my god, how gorgeous is that. I spent $100 last month on a Thai con that’s half the size of that baby. Jealous to say the least 😂

Oh my goodness you are huge!

Get that thing a pole and proper sunlight. Treat it better than your bedroom monstera please!

Way above my budget but I’m so happy for you.

They know you 😂!

Wow thats an amazing plant, fir sure not a cutting!

🧐 I wonder if they knew about your YT channel? Did you purchase using an SMP labeled account? 🤔

I was wondering if any of you, especially you Mr Sheffield have gotten any cheaper variegated monsteras, i was wondering if the new leaves still kept the variation?

I’m really disappointed that you didn’t support your local plant shop. I’m really glad that your plant came from a shop in the UK. Still your shop needs your support or they won’t be there. Anyway love your videos. I’m sure I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know. This video seemed like an add for Amazon. 😢

your house has officially transitioned to a jungle ☘☘🌿🌿🌵🌵🪴🪴🌱🌱

My concern isn't a negative review. Because everybody gets negative reviews. My concern would be. How did the supplier handle the customers review? Did the supplier offer to make it right for the customer

Now its gonna be out of stock and later cones back in stock with double the price due to increase in demand

Huh, I wonder if this is a thing with Canadian Amazon too, I'm definitely gonna go check.😅

I think they mailed you the wrong plant. You scored

Great

Wow.. that's just a cutting? I buy all my plants on Amazon..I have been lucky to not get any bugs.. knock on wood lol

Oh , WOW 😳🎉🎉🎉. Beautiful. Nice too get a package 📦. I luv,luv, Amazon. Top 🎩 rate company.

No wayyy!😮

Thankyou for normalizing my plant addiction. Monstera Deliciosa Variegata is native to central America... 160 quid is highway robbery.

Do you have a link to the specific plant that you bought?

Amazon for the win! I told myself I wasn’t going to shop on Prime Day this year…but maybe there will be a great plant sale?! 🪴

Even IF Amazon did not pay Sheffield, they obv know he is a popular youtuber. Just hope they didn’t ship the plant overseas…

What the name of the plant company

Did you say 160 quid as in 160 pounds for that small monstera??

Are you tall or are the doors in UK very small?😂

Playing geoguesser looks like you were at Ferndale?

Loved the nightmare scene 😂👌🏻❤️

Really enjoying the upgraded editing style and subtle storytelling mixed in.

That's my review on the Thai Con at 2:05; it's absolutely enormous and just pushed out a huge mature leaf with sectoral variegation and galaxy speckling. 100% recommend Tropical Plants UK. I was worried about putting down £50 for an online purchase but was really impressed with what I got!

I usually buy my more unusual plants from Etsy. It's nice to support smaller businesses. That is a beauty though; you may have changed my mind!

they realized who was the buyer and got the best they had at the moment for some free advertisment 🤣🤣🤣

The weirdest thing i buy off amazon is live ladybugs for my garden. ❤

Richard's house is like a black hole for plants: there's always room for more.

lol Amazon sales must be going crazy now!!! Enjoy your Monstera!!!

😮😮😮Jesus how tall are you Mr. Sheffield?!?! I saw you duck when you walked in that store😂

I’ve had good luck on Amazon

Wow! I would have never thought of ordering a plant from Amazon…..great deal ! The prices are finally going down here in Canada and more available to buy so I just bought my first 4 inch pot for a good price…keep us posted !
