Out of all the plant RU-vid ‘rs I subscribe too, you are the only one that I watch every video you put out😀. I don’t know why but I never skip one of yours! I just love your videos. They are always really interesting and you are so pleasant to listen to and to watch🙂. Great work, we appreciate you!👏🏼 Happy new year!
I’m really hoping more native plants will get popular next year, it’s definitely something i’m getting more interest in - both for indoors and balcony containers
To create a longer climbing trellis for you raphidophora cryptantha you could layer another board BEHIND the one it’s on, rather than trying to attach a board to the top
For the Raph growing on the tiny board, go and get yourself a piece of 1"×4" wood from your local hardware store. Also, grab a flat metal bracket and some screws. You can place the new piece of wood on top of the older one. Then place the metal bracket on the back side and screw it into place. Voila! You've got yourself an extended growing board!!
I’m so grateful that you were my introduction to this wonderful world of plants. I’ve learned so much and I’m enjoying the journey. Thank you for being a voice of reason and knowledge. I always look forward to your videos. Happy new year!
Rhaphadiphora decursiva has been readily available in Australia very cheaply for a small pot and is sold under the common name of Dragon's tail. It is usually mislabelled as Epipremnum pinnatum here too.
Came to say the same thing! I bought a tiny one a couple of years ago, neglected it a lot, chopped it up and propagated it and now I have WAY more Raph. decursiva than I need, lol. I bought mine as Epipremnum pinnatum "Dragon's Tail" and a kind person on reddit corrected me as to it's actual classification.
Rhaphidophora hayi hit Walmarts all over last week. I picked one up for $18 and some change, after tax. It came mounted on a plank and is actually 2 plants, 1 mounted on each side. So really, I got each plant for $9. It did have spider mites qnd is in quarantine being treated right now. It looks really healthy despite the mites though.
I wish my Walmart didn't pair down their plant selection so much during the winter. They have a large heated greenhouse but they still cut what they carry by more than half
@@niko7996 Mine does the same thing. It's a smaller town so I'm not surprised. I have to go to the stores in the large neighboring city to get anything good.

The Sans. Gold Flame is quite nice. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Hey Nick! Could you do a video concerning tissue culture? How far along is it in regards to affecting the market on plant buying & selling, and anything else you know?
Thank you for your videos, I really appreciate all the information you are putting out there. I love all your plants! They are beautiful!! Thank you again from Texas!
I saw it on their site yesterday. I also usually pass on plants that Nick doesn't recommend. Same climate, similar conditions so I take his word for it. I'm not one for the shinglers anyway.
Fun video! It is always exciting to guess and to anticipate what plants will become popular or more readily available. I know I have great hopes of getting my grubby little plant loving hands on many new varieties! Happy Growing and of course HAPPY NEW PLANT COLLECTING YEAR! YAAAAAY! So exciting! 🤗🤗🤗
Yes! We had a frenzy here in Kansas City on the moonlight. It was posted on FB plant group that they were at Walmart along with a shingler and all hell broke loose.
@@VirginiaGeorge they waited till they were actually unboxed? Around here people got straight into the pallets themselves and they were all gone before the displays hit the floor
♥️ anthurium fingers ♥️ Mine is just now throwing up a new leaf (got the plant back in October of 2020, it’s now January 2021). Def one of my top 3 favs of my collection right now.
'A juvenile, plain, leafy, LEAFY leaf.' - Love that description! Thanks for sharing about the R. Decursiva. Looking forward to seeing more of those for sale because where I am at you can only really find them from collectors. Happy new year!
Hi Nick! It's fun seeing your picks for 2021, and I hope you're right on all of them. I would love to find the Rhaphidophora Hayi and Rhaphidophora Cryptantha at decent prices. It would be fun to have shingling plants. I'd love to find a Hoya Linearis and Sansevieria "Golden Flame", too. Thank you so much for sharing!
I added a gold flame to my collection in 2020 . It was showing up at crazy prices but somehow I managed to get it super cheap $11CAD for a really big one. Super happy with that!
Thank you for this wonderful list. I'm looking forward to the increase availability of the various Raphidophora. Also, thank you so much for listing the names of the plants you mentioned in the description box. You seem to be one of the few plant tubers who does so.
I really want to have that snake plant, it’s definitely on my 2021 wishlist. Also don’t forget, this year Costa Farms will be growing Thai Constellation Monstera Deliciosas at big box stores
@@avaf1084 I know they keep saying it will be released and I keep looking for them but never find any. I am guessing it is a little more difficult to mass propagate them via tissue culture as they initially thought. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that they are FINALLY able to release them. 🤞
Regarding the small plank situation, I’ve got to agree they don’t always come in the best setup. I work at a plant store and we got in a beautiful climbing golden pathos on a cedar plank..... that was NAILED to the bottom of the nursery pot. Definitely difficult to repot that one. As far as adding to yours, I might try to actually sink a second plank into the soil, flush behind the first plank. You’d have a bit of a staircase look, but you’d be able to secure it in the soil itself as well as being able to wood glue and or nail the new board to the first. You may have to do a cover pot situation to keep the weight balanced so that it doesn’t tip over, depending on the size of board you’re going with. Anyways just my immediate thought, hope you find something that works for you!!! Can’t wait to see more of your content. Thank you for creating.
Another great video :-) I learned something new today. The Sans I picked up because of it's variegation pattern is a Gold Flame. 5' pot and it needed to be repotted asap as the pot had cracks already. When I bought it, it already had 5 new pups growing, amazing find. Keep the good work up.
I'm lucky to be living in So Fla I buy cheap and sub divide and in a couple o months I have 3 or 4 or like last year on bulk trash day I found a Fid leaf fig 7 feet tall had to call a bud to help me lift it into my truc. I trimmed the top put the cut lleafs in water and put them under some ferns and forgot about them a year later Ihave a mini forest of Fid Leaf figs, about 15 " tall and thriving. When I go to the Home improv stores I always ck the lower shelves for what I call the rescue dept.or out back at the dumpsters. I havent paid retail for years. Seriously neighbors when moving always call me to give me plants, and my tenants do the same. I watch Nick. Abso the best on u tube......His knowledge of the latin names is spectacular
Happy New Year! I live my rhap div. the leaves are crazy dark green but it’s kinda a crazy man! But I hit it back and now propagating to make more in container. It’s a great grower. Easy. Thank you for all you knowledge and sharing with us. Happy new year!
Hoya linearis is such an easy going girl and roots easily in water. I'm in Scotland uk, my house is tough on plants esp in Winter but this Hoya just grows and grows for me 🤗 Happy New Year Nick and thanks for all your great content 🌺
It looks very similar to an eppiperium Pinnatum, though alot thinner in the petol and the fenstrations look different too and it's a native to pur region. A good way to tell the difference is the pinnatum is a pothos - new leaves don't come out of a sheath and unfurl in the same way a regular pothos does, along with hole like perforations along the central leaf stem. I think it's a beautiful plant looking forward to seeing it for sale here in Australia. (we might only get the Eppiperum since they look incredibly similar when juvenile and the latter it very popular but some growers have a terrible habit of not not just mislabling plants, but not labling them beyond their 'designer' collection label tag which makes identification harder.)
Pretty good list! Im up north in Ottawa, CA and I think the only one I haven't see this years is the Syngonium (which I agree, is not that exciting anyway) I actually just bought the Decursiva on Black Friday at 50% off (for 15$) I'm pretty happy with it ^^ As always 👏👏👏👏 keep the good work ❤
Hi Nick! I love watching your vids✨❤️ I was thinking about the wooden plank issue as it grows......how bout attaching a taller one directly behind the short one and, yes, it’ll have a slight step, but I think it’s a pretty good solution to the problem 😁
hi Nick, beautiful plants! Thank you for this video, happy new year. I think for the new year more people will continue to expand on growing their own food, at least that is my hope.
FYI Nick, I just purchased a Rhaphidophora Decursiva at Home Depot in the bay area/California and it's being marketed as Philodendren Dragon's Tail. So you're right about it being mass produced but a year later 🙂
I recently shot a raphidophora korthalsii on ebay for 20€ and really like it. Ifeels smooth but looks a bit velvety or satin-like and it shingles. Right now it's just in normal potting soil but I think I repot it in leca with a wooden board to climb up after seeing your video.I don't want the leaves to shrink I think, with 2020 bringing so many new people into the plant collecting hobby, the bigger growers in the Netherlands might become more experimental with what the present to the market. Like...try introducing new species from the geni that are "hot" like different aroids (monstera, anthurium, philodendron, raphidophora, syngonium...). Before the closed the garden centers because of covid t In november, I went there and the had a much more varied display of different aroiods, mostly philodendron, than what Iremember from my previous visits. An, I wish the would ope up the home improvement stores and gardencenters again. probably different hoyas and dischidias might become more common in garden centers too. I've seen some variegated australis at dehner for example. I hope for the hoya macrophylla...I think, it's one that a lot of people, hoyahead or not, could enjoy. Especially the variegated ones.
I think you're totally right about that syngonium. I got one for dirt cheap from a Thai seller last year that was calling it "Philodendron Clouded Leaf" but I've noticed a lot more people becoming interested in it these past couple months. Also, it definitely looks chlorotic, but in a cool way haha! That anthurium was my favorite plant that you mentioned, I hope those become cheaper and easier to find. I'd love to see a follow-up video in December to track how accurate your predictions were. Cheers
Nick, I'm wrapping my cryptantha around a pole...so I'm getting layers of it stacked around horizontally. Another suggestion is to trim the top, then start that cutting as another line going up your board.
Happy New Year, Nick!Interesting video, as always. For the one on the plank that is too short, just stick a taller plank behind the first plank and it should just continue on up. 💚
Hey Nick, you could connect the wood with dowels. It would be the least visible, I guess. Of course a little work, but still more beautiful than connecting the wood on the outside on the back.
Hi Nick💚🌿I just purchased 2 plants I'd never heard of...Sansevieria Francissi and a Revolution Philidendron (which honestly looks kind of like a Selloum in it's mature form). I'm hoping it is something new I can't find much info on it. Either way they are both adorable in their baby forn!💚🌿Thank you for all your relaxing content and information. Due to tour ease of care information I have purchased many suggested plants which are thriving and I absolutely adore! ❤
One of the few plant RU-vidrs who ACTUALLY recommend _intresting_ plants. I started growing plants only abt two months ago and man was I getting tired of hearing "pothos" and "zz plant" and "snake plant". Like I'm a beginner, but there's more than 3 plants. I'm up to around 40 I think....
The Dracaena Trifasciata "Gold Flame" is a plant of yours that I've envied for a while. I've definitely been after one and it will be nice to see them in stores. I really like snake plants with a lot of yellow in them. No Rhaphidophora will ever darken this door again and I don't like the One Leaf Wonder Brats (Anthuriums, alocasias, colocasias, etc). I'm a hoya lover, but if I'm after something more linear, I think it will be a retusa. I'd have to see a linearis in person because I might love it. We'll see. The buyer at my nursery won't order hoyas until Spring. He buys trendy things according to what his regulars want and has the charming habit of buying small quantities of plants he thinks we'll like. He's usually right, too. He's threatening to drag me kicking and screaming outside my comfort zone so who knows what I'm in for in 2021. I'm still reeling from being dragged outside of my cactus bubble even though I still love them best.
I've had my Hoya Linearis for some years now, they're pretty easy to get (or at least were at that time) here in Europe. I think it was 10 euros for a full pot (12 dollars). I really love that plant! He's now just a little over 2 meters long (78 inches). It bloomed for the first time this summer! (the flowers really smell though) They're also very easy to propagate. But you're so right about the mealy bugs, I've had those a while back in my Hoya as well.
I wanted to confirm on the Anthurium fingers.... All three of my local nurseries have gotten them in and are selling for $32.99 in a 4" pot 🥰 thank you for this video!
Maybe you can use hot glue or some type of wood glue like the gorilla glue to add a extra plank to the Cryptantha to extend the length. I know on Esty (and I'm sure other shops) you can buy precut "Cedar Moss Board for Shingle Plants" that has that same plank shape with moss attached to it already as well if you like.
Cut to 2022 and my local plant shop here in Australia has masses of Rhaphidophora decursiva in hanging baskets ... I'm sure when you let them trail, the leaves get smaller and less frequent. The one I bought has a stem which is starting to run and it's not even making a leaf at every node. I'm going to aim a couple of stems at a moss pole.
Happy 2021! great video thanks! i have seen 2 of the rhaphidaphora at a local specialty plant shop but didn’t pay attention re price. What about rumors that Costa Farms will have the Thai constellation this year?
Happy New Year Nick🎉🎉🎉🌿🍃🪴💕💗❤️ Some great pics for what will come on the market this year. My top pick/wish list plant this year is a Dark Lord; Philodendron. I will keep looking till I find. I’m just east of Toronto; in Ontario Canada 🇨🇦💚❤️🌸💕💗🌿🍃🪴🌱🌲
A HEADS UP! My local (Oregon) Ikea today had 6" pot sized S. "Gold Flame" for $7.99. They were sort of damaged but I got three of them for $24. All had one or two babies starting. A local plant store had smaller but less damaged plants for $24.
I actually have 2 gold flame sansaveria and they cost me $20.00 for an 8" pot at my local "nursery" during our shutdown here in Vegas when all the hotels were closed for 3 months. They are beautiful.
I just had a terrifying experience as a plant mom. I have this hanging plant that is about 5 feet long and 3 feet wide. I raised this plant from a tiny tiny clipping, and I have had it for about 3 years. I love it so so much that I named it mammoth due to its ginormous size. Anyways I can up to my room(where mammoth is located) and I saw that the stool that my plant sits on tipped over. The actual plant was completely upside down. I immediately Belgian crying and yelling to my mom. She actually thought that I found a dead animal or something. We picked the plant back up, I looked it over. So far I can see that only a few tendrils had snapped off. I am so thankful that overall my plant is still okay. But I am still traumatized. Also by the way this is a Swedish ivy plant, and I definitely recommend it because it is absolutely beautiful
Extending that wood piece: you can do the woodpeg method. You'll need a matching wood board, a drill, some wood glue, and probably 3 small wood pegs. The pegs need to be the same or very slightly smaller than the drill bit. I suggest an all-weather woodglue like TItebond III. Use a scrap piece of paper as a template to make sure the holes are drilled evenly spaced on both pieces of wood. Since we're dealing with endgrain, sanding the ends smoother will help it adhere. Good luck! If you can't get a matching wood board, maybe get a couple different colored woods, so it looks intentional. Almost like a little totem pole.
That raphidaphora decursiva is generally called 'epipremnum pinnatum Dragon's tail' in Australia. They are cheap here and I've had one for about a year. Easy care, fabulous leaves. I wondered if the raphidaphora decursiva was slightly different.
I'm Canadian and we've already seen the R. decursiva a few times in 2020! It was being sold under the name Epipremnum pinnatum, and one of the biggest growers here has already posted it as upcoming for 2021
What about Cebu Blue? That thing can grow faster than a pothos and is equally easy to propagate yet it can be like $60 for a 4 inch pot. It’s probably the easiest to mass produce out of this list
