Hey guys - just wanted to let you know that yes, I'm aware the dirt was a joke. Tyler himself messaged me when he saw the video and explained that he made a joke listing on ebay and sent the bidder an albo cutting.

@bluebear74 4 года назад

Kaylee Ellen I thought it was a case of trying to trick someone not reading the listing properly. Dad made this mistake once and ended up with the MANUAL of the thing he wanted. This person was literally selling the printed manuals that are available free on the parts website. Of course they refused to refund us. Lesson learned for dad.

@jrich905 4 года назад

I laughed out loud at the dirt listing. Lets be honest, people will literally buy anything when there is a fad going on. You shouldn't have to tell people not to purchase things like that but it is necessary sometimes unfortunately.

I stupidly purchased “variegated monstera” seeds on eBay a year or two ago. It was a deal offering 50 seeds for about 3$. Thinking that I’d have more successful growth with more seeds, I thought it was fitting to plant them ALL. Months later I had something growing, wasn’t a monstera though. It looked more like grass so I decided to research different seeds to see what the hell I was growing and it turns out they were yucca seeds- and I planted all 50 🤦🏽‍♀️So in about 20 years I guess I’ll just have 50 full grown yucca trees in my home 😂 thanks a lot eBay

The dirt thing was literally a joke made by the same Tyler person you referenced earlier in the video. He posted the eBay posting on Facebook and said it was a joke. He also said someone bought it and he sent them a real cutting. Not to say that there aren’t some people out there that would try this... I’m glad you made this video cause I see wet sticks being sold all the time... I also see people asking if their monstera is a “half moon” as though it’s a type of monstera. I bought a single leaf cutting for $150 and it already doesn’t feel worth it.

@plants-xo7ug 4 года назад

Great video! Id like to say that it is not just monstera people are doing this stuff. Even rare cacti people do this! People are selling stolen,poached and just bad plants online and charging a HUGE amount because if the name or title of the plant. For example this guy was selling ariocarpus on eBay in huge poached amount but the sad thing was you can tell they were just ripped from the ground (15-20 year old plants) beacausr they have a mane tap root and roots that grow off that tap root and they were just stripped and it was a half broken tap root just so wrong and sad.

@viabrus8609 4 года назад

As much as I want an albo, I can't deal with the price tag or the craziness with the hunting for one. I have a local nursery that does sell them but there is a waiting list for over 6 months and , besides that, I'm so scared to spend all that money to just have it revert back to a green one that I can pick up at a grocery store for $20. I will covet one from a distance and if the hype ever drops for these, then maybe I'll get one. Until then, I'm going to enjoy my lovely GREEN monstera.

I have multiples of both the Thai and Albo (I’m a seller and importer) and the tissue culture Thai is far less fussy making it ideal for first time growers. It can be grown like any other house plant and grows very fast since they typically have more chlorophyll. I’ve also got quite a few Thais that have the prettiest half white leaves - solid white on one side and variegated on the other. I do prefer my huge albo to any other plant tho!

Also it would be interesting to hear your opinion on growers who sell plants which they gather from the wild. I've seen a few sellers proudly state they sell authentic plants taken from their natural habitat. I personally don't agree with it, we have green houses and technology to grow our own plants. leave wild plants alone, there's a reason so many are protected or endangered now.

I ordered Monstera Seeds on ebay from a guy who had a very good rating. It wasn't Variegated seeds because I knew that that doesn't exist. I just thought it would be nice to see a Monstera Baby grow. The seeds didn't look right to me but I thought that maybe it was a different type of Monstera. The seller had a good rating so I didn't think too much of it. Actually I was a bit excited to see what kind of Monstera or maybe Philodendron I'll have. I planted them and they germinated very fast. And looked like grass. But the seeds didn't look like grass seeds. I was confused and after some LONG research I found out that I now had Sugar Cane plants. They looked nice... And you can eat them... I'll order Sugar Cane seeds again some day.

Oh wow, I honestly didn't realize that these variegated monsteras were in so high demand. I've seen healthy variegated cutting in dirt or plants being sold in physical specialty plant stores somewhere in Toronto at a price of 50 maybe stretching 90 Canadian dollars.

@anitali1340 4 года назад

I think people are overly excited and enthused toget a monstera albo b, because it is beautiful. And many are blinded and often fall victims to lies. But few have patience to wait and nurture and be surprised which for me is more fulfilling and uplifting .just my thoughts. Thank you for this enlightening video.

@bugsandbrushes 4 года назад

I dont really understand why people are jumping on the hype to begin with. Yes, variegated monsteras are beautiful, hell, I'd take one in a heartbeat. However, I wouldn't ever dish out that much money on a cutting. You see, the thing with hyped plants everyone wants is that also everyone is going to grow them, wanting to cash in on the trend. The market will be flooded with them in no time (well, as long as it takes commercial growers to get them ready), after all, we're not talking about a species that is especially difficult to grow or take care of. As "exotic" they may seem now, they are a perfectly easy plant, even for beginners, which makes them even more valuable for plantshops. It's fair bet that we'll see tons of those plants everywhere pretty soon and with a much, much smaller price tag. Why not just wait a bit? And thank the people who created and financed the hype, without it, we wouldn't see them coming into shops after all.

@earthaforester3141 4 года назад

@meganeisemann754 4 года назад

So glad I want a Thai constellation, I just can’t pay that much for something that might revert.

@ChampiVenao 4 года назад

I think Thai is the only one that doesn't revert bc it's basically a GMO so it's on its genes and not a random mutation

@ChampiVenao 4 года назад

I might be wrong but it's worth doing some research :0

@loveclaire21 4 года назад

It’s the Albo that reverts :) you’re fine with a Thai

@brandonbayangos6261 4 года назад

It honestly depends on your stem. If you have a well variegated stem then your leaves probably won't revert. Also depends on your environment, especially sunlight. I have an albo, aurea and Thai so I'm not just speaking from no experience. Also my albo is a kens philodendron one so another tip is check your source. Their line has been putting out established variegation for at least 22 years I think.

I guess my advice would be... Use a credit card when buying from sellers that are not properly vetted. If you can't get a refund or the seller has gone dark on you, you can at least file a chargeback. I believe PayPal also offers a similar process. Be careful out there!

@jannelaineeleodinmuo2442 3 года назад

@sadcap 3 года назад

Even when they have legit nodes, so many people local to me have been accidentally rotting their albo stick chunks. They still go for like $75 minimum, anything with a leaf is over $150. It's wild. I'll wait for the mass produced ones in a few years.

@danatribbia3350 4 года назад

this is hilarious and sad to watch as someone who lives in Australia where barely rooted single node stem cuttings with no leaves regularly go for over $350, the demand is even higher here as the supply is very limited due to our strict biosecurity laws

@marisamcgovern674 4 года назад

Thank you for looking out for the houseplant community! I agree it is both responsibility of the seller and buyer. Responsible sellers will get good reviews and dishonest sellers will hopefully be reported. Buyers beware! If you're gonna dish out the money, make sure you know which part of the plant to propagate from. I would love to own a v. monstera but for now, I'll wait until it's sold in nurseries.

I'm so glad you are doing this to educate everyone! People need to fully understand about what they want and not simply want it for wanting it sake. If buyers don't get educated, greedy sellers will find that weakness and target you. Sellers ought to have better integrity. We need a loving plant community that will help each other grow, while we (equipped with knowledge about what we are getting) weed out the parasitic scam artists so that they can no longer thrive.

@LynnAgain83 4 года назад

Holy cow I won't even spend $10-20 for a plant especially now with everyone housebound getting new plant hobbies & green thumbs all of the sudden the prices are flipping ridiculous and wayyyy overpriced! Wait a bit and I assure you these prices will decrease. I'll stick with my regular seller who doesn't charge a full months paycheck for a plant 💚 Great video though 👍😊

@clintparsons3989 4 года назад

Not necessarily true. I have grown nepenthes for a decade. They have doubled and tripled in price even for common plants.

@SemihydroponicswithSma 4 года назад

I had the same problem with my cutting. After I've paid £165 the seller sent me the cutting with a rotten stem at the base, one from the 2 aerial roots was rotten as well. Obviously the pictures were not showing any rotten parts. When I've contacted the seller he told me it was because of shipping(one day)🙄 Fortunately i managed to save it and she is thriving now. I can say that i was lucky. But i see so many people scam...is unreal. Thank you for this video💚😊

Well done!!!! I have often thought about buying the seeds...
