🌿 Unboxing 5 Rare Houseplants! You Won't Believe What I Got! 😱

Welcome to my channel! 🌿 In this exciting video, I’m unboxing five unique and rare houseplants that I recently purchased from GrowTropicals, a renowned UK-based supplier of exotic plants. Join me as I reveal these unusual finds and share my first impressions, tips, and thoughts on each one.

Houseplants are more than just a hobby for me; they are a passion. The thrill of discovering rare and unusual tropical plants is something I cherish, and I’m excited to bring you along on this journey. Whether you're a seasoned plant enthusiast or just starting your indoor jungle, this video will have something for everyone.

Plant Highlights:
1. Anthurium Hybrid: First up is an Anthurium hybrid. This plant might surprise some of you as I already have a similar one. However, my current Anthurium is struggling, so this new one is like a backup plan. Anthuriums are known for their stunning foliage and unique shapes, making them a favorite among plant lovers.

2. Edible Piper: The second plant is an edible Piper. I bought a similar one last year, and it’s been a joy to grow and use in my kitchen. Having a duplicate ensures I always have a healthy plant ready to go.

3. Rare Piper: Next is a very unusual Piper, rarely seen in collections. This one has a unique growth habit that’s sure to intrigue anyone who sees it. Its rarity and distinctive features make it a standout addition to my collection.

4. Fossil-like Anthurium: The fourth plant is another Anthurium that gives off ancient fossil vibes. Its textured leaves and fascinating appearance make it look like something from a prehistoric era. This plant is not just a conversation starter but also a testament to the diversity of Anthuriums.

5. Colorful Surprise Plant: Finally, the fifth plant is a colorful and more commonly found variety, but it’s the one I’m most apprehensive about. In the past, I’ve struggled with this type of plant, so it’s a bit of a personal challenge to see if I can successfully grow it this time around.

Why Watch This Video?
Unique Finds: If you're tired of the same old houseplants, this video is for you. These plants are not something you see every day, making them fascinating additions to any collection.
Plant Care Tips: Along with the unboxing, I'll share tips on how to care for these unique plants, ensuring they thrive in your home.

Aglaonemas are happy with the morning light. Your videos always make me smile 😃

[friskymp]

Aglaonema plants need more light and water than what they say. Mine grows a leaf per month and gets direct sunlight for 3 hours (from 10 am to 1pm). The only thing I don’t like that much about them is that when they flower, they give like 5 flowers at least at the same time! So they are blooming for three months and no new leaf

I have many aglaonema alot of them colourful. Sat in a South facing window about 2 metres back. Fairly high humidity but in winter drops. I have them in chunky soil mix from soil ninja. I water mine about fortnightly but some are thirstier than others. I've looked at the apple fantasy and it's on my list. I find them very easy just don't fuss them. Mine grow quite quickly tbh. Maybe a leaf a month.

G good morning thank you for Sharing beautiful House Plants lovely collections 😎🌹♥

[allonewordcaps]

Fun video. Can’t wait to see more unboxing 😂 videos
All the best today with your new plants. So much fun!

These are so beautiful plants ❤ I love the Pipers, they are definitely on my to buy list.
As for the Piper ribesiodes: it is a shingling plant. It grows so beautifully on planks.

My favorite shop in my country (Germany) is a jungly shop run by three biologists. I found the ribesiodes on their side, they always give a lot of information on the plants (and I respect every shop that says: don't buy the Anthurium regale, unless you are a freak who has a grow tent, adjust your temperatures constantly and invest in growing light" 😂)

As for Aglaonemas: I have mine in a west-facing window, but it is slightly obscured by buildings. Still it is enough light to get slight sunburn. I let it dry out completely and it's doing fine. I mostly forget about it. And it grows like crazy and it pups every year or so.

Lovely plants, the Aglaonema apple fantasy is my favourite! Hopefully it will grow well for you 👍🌿😊

[Carey.S]

I love your plant hauls because I know that the plants are always going to be interesting 😁 I love the peltigerum, but I've not managed to add one to my collection yet. It definitely gives alien vibes. The trailing piper is very cute; not one that I've heard of before either. The plant that I didn't expect to be included was the Aglaonema, but it's absolutely stunning. I have a couple of the more colourful ones, and so far, they're doing well. They get morning sun and watered just as they've fully dried out. Good luck with your newbies 💚🪴🫶🏻

I have never seen those plants, thank you for sharing.

Hi Memo, really cool new plants. I hear from everyone that A. luxurians x radicans is a fast grower and lovely to grow.
I love Soil Ninja mixes. I discovered them thanks to you :-) I have all my anthuriums in their Anthurium mix and they love it. Ever since I switched to Soil Ninja´s anthurium mix my A. clarinervium, it stopped going to dormany in winter and no longer struggles in winter (it had really tought time every winter here in the Czech Rep.).
I also switched my hoya into their anthurium mix – after years of not growing much, she finally started growing super fast (I already had to increase her pot size) and is making a peduncle now. So all my hoyas are going to grow in it too :-)

Colourful aglaonema:
I have only two – Red Zircon (pinkish) and White Joy (as white as it can be). I tested different growing media (incl. pon) over last years, and I find the Soil Ninja´s monstera and philodendron works definitely the best. For me, they grow best in more light (around 4 000 lux), chunky airy mix, and letting them dry out like a monstera deliciosa or adansonii – sensitive to overwatering and moisture-retentive mix.
Colourful aglaonemas are very collectible - we certainly need to get more of them 😀
I recommend checking: Aglaonema anyamanee Tricolor, Pride of Sumatra and Academe - hard to find, but one day I need to get them 😀

[plantytotalkabout]

I have to seriously agree with your statement on the Piper and the soil situation! I have a Piper crocatum that I purchased and a 3 leaf rooted cutting (in water) literally from an antique boutique of all places! I potted it up in my aroid mix the week I got it and immediately it dropped 2 leaves the following week and then for 6 months did not do a single thing for me! 😮‍💨😩🤦🏻‍♀️ Luckily I have it in a clear pot and then Piper is literally about rootbound in it and just now pushing out 2 new leaves FINALLY! I think it would probably have been trailing all the way across my living room by now if I had just left it in water till it had more growth or something! 😂🤣 They are more stubborn but so stunning and well worth the headache to me! I find them them to be the most similar to a Cissus Discolor on care and stubbornness lol! Love love loveeee your new Pipers Memo!

[nicolemickle]

Wow, didn't know I was getting a plant haul and a gun show in one video!!!!❤

[susanwilkinson]

I had a real chuckle when you unwrapped that first plant lol, I’ve been eyeing that very luxurians cross on growtropicals for over a week now. I’m very new to Anthurium having only 2 currently but I really love those luxurians leaves. Would you recommend this cross to a newbie like myself? I already have a pedatum and a vittarifolium and they’re growing very well in my conditions under grow lights.

[mayfrost]

Such lovely plants. I have had colorful aglaonemas doe years now and they do really well at my place. I keep the soil moist but not wet.Mine are standing about half a meter away from my south/west facing window.

[clairepook]

I really like the trailing piper and all lovely I don’t need any encouragement to buy plants 🤣🤣

[lindaedwards]

Hi Memo, the Aglaonema surprised me 😀🇨🇦

[andrejastajnko]

I have a green aglaonema that is not fussy at all and a colourful one which needs more light (east window) and more frequent watering (once a week) than the green one. It is potted up in a chunky soil mix to prevent root rot. Whereas I leave the flowers on the green aglaonema I pinch them off on the colourful one to encourage leaf growth.

[torquess]

Yea, never apologize for being weird! I’ve got a bumper sticker on my car that’s placed upside down, that says “Stay weird” it’s important to embrace it!! ❤❤❤😂😂😂
I too get plants before I have a place for them, I find it a fun challenge to find spot lol
I definitely overwatered my bright coloured Agleonema, I’ll try again
I’ve hear recently that when an aroid produces its inflorescence, leave it there, it won’t necessarily give you new leaves if you chop it, it’s a part of its hormonal cycle, that it may produce more flowers if chopped, that happens with my Alocasia, I don’t get new leaves, I got 2 more inflos

[albawaterhouse]

What a beautiful aglaonema! I have a very similar one, the Salmon Fantasy, and it loves light. I had some issues when I had it in plastic with root rot so I changed it to terracotta and now it grows beautifully and really fast.

Nice plants Memo. Looking fwd to updates!
