- Welcome to My Rare Houseplant Unboxing Journey!
Hey, plant enthusiasts and curious souls! 🌿✨ Today, I'm thrilled to share a very special video with you all - a unique unboxing of some rare houseplants I ordered from Ecuagenera during the Black Friday sales. This is not just any haul; it's a treasure trove of rare and unusual tropical plants delivered to my doorstep in the heart of winter. Join me as we explore these botanical wonders together!
Why Ecuagenera?
Ecuagenera is a name that resonates with rarity and quality in the world of houseplants. This marks my fourth order with them, and each time, they've surpassed my expectations. What made this order extra special was the timing - I wanted to test how these tropical beauties would fare when shipped during the coldest months to the UK. And let me tell you, the results were both surprising and enlightening.
What's Inside the Box?
Inside this magical box were 9 plants - a mix of Anthuriums, Philodendrons, and a Monstera that I bet will surprise many of you as much as it did me. These aren't your average "it" plants that everyone's after. Instead, I chose the oddballs, the plants that spoke to me through their unique beauty and rarity.
As we delve into the unboxing, you'll see how some plants weathered the journey better than others. Notably, one of the plants, which was supposed to arrive with 6 leaves, sadly ended up with just 2 by the end of the video. The cold damage and root loss were significant in some cases. However, it's worth mentioning how Ecuagenera's communication has been top-notch throughout this process.

Most of these plants are too advanced in taste for me, but your child-like enthusiasm is right up my alley! This video was ADORABLE!☺
Your comment made my day! Thank you for appreciating the enthusiasm. 🥰
I just love you Memo. That fun personality, the love for plants, etc.
Beautiful selection Memo!
I'm truly surprised they travelled so well in the depths of winter. 😮
Big fan of the Monstera and that P. pinnatilobum aff! Be still my beating heart! ❤
Thank you! It's always a gamble with winter shipping, but thrilled at the outcome. The P. pinnatilobum aff has stolen my heart too! ❤️
Philodendron luxurians has the same habit than gloriosum. It crawl and crawl again 😊
Exactly what I found out too! Philodendron luxurians has such an intriguing growth habit. Love watching them 'crawl' and thrive. 🌿
waterburyanum is suuuuch a nice plant to grow, super easy going! and it's so fun to watch the new leaves expand!
So glad to hear about your waterburyanum success! I will defo watch it closely for those new leaves. 🌱
What fun to watch this unboxing video! I remember you had mentioned that you asked the package be delivered when you get back from your vacation.
I love many of the plants you got especially the Anthurium Lancea 😍
Hope you’re over your cold and have fun potting up your new plant stash. Looking forward to more vids from you!
Thanks for the kind words! The timing worked out perfectly. The potting was amazing, love it for clearing my mind, even when I have a cold. 🌱
🌿 That subpinnata 😱💚 I'd been chasing one for a long time myself and finally found a little tiny baby one.. Such a beautiful plant! Can't wait to see your updates 😊
Thank you! The subpinnata is truly a gem, isn't it? 💚 Can't wait to share the journey of these beauties with you!
Always passionate about plants and a collector for too long seeing my interior, you are today my favorite UA-camr.
Thanks for sharing knowledge and experiences . I often avoid commenting because my English is not good enough (sorry french speaking). 👍👍👍My favourite by far is the anthurium flavolineatum 😍
Awww thank you so so much for your kind words, i am glad you are enjoying the content 😊 one of my favourites is the flavolineatum too 😍
The one surprise me is Anthurium lancea. I want one now! 😊
Anthurium lancea is a stunner, right? 😍 I'm thrilled it caught your eye!
I have a small Subpinnata that I'm rehabbing - my first order came with severe root rot and the replacement was not only rotten, but etiolated beyond the ability to stand. It did have lovely leaves, that first day... Quite like yours! (I do hope yours fares better!) One from my first order (three months ago) just gave me a leaf! I'd wanted it for ages, so I'm over the moon for a single leaf!
I liked the other plants you shared, but there wasn't one that dropped my jaw, you know? The long, narrow Philodendron was groovy - but maybe my feeling there is more a reflection of your reaction to it! How you did this with such a cold is beyond me. You rock! Your enthusiasm is infectious! I've learned so much from you - starting with the fact that I don't know nearly enough about my plants! I'm remedying that 😊
Feel better! We can wait... But thank you most sincerely for sharing this unboxing. You're a delight!
So sorry to hear about your rehab journey, but thrilled about the new leaf! 🌱 Your resilience is inspiring. Let's hope for the best for both our plants!
Way to power through your cold, Memo. Feel better soon.
Really appreciate the support, Dave! Slowly but surely getting over this cold. 🤧
Thanks you for sharing lovely houseplants I love watching your video very amazing
I've been thinking about putting an order in with Ecuagenera. for a few months now. Your unboxing has given me the confidence to go for it. Thank you.
So glad to hear that! Can't wait to see what treasures you find. 🌱
My favorite in your order is Philodendron Luxurians. Small dark Velvet leaves. 👍🏾Video. I’m June in The Junegle, Virginia 🇺🇸
The Luxurians is such a velvety dream! Hello from the plant community to The Junegle! 🌿
I can’t wait for the update on all these plants ❤ some great choices there. Get well soon x
This was such a beautiful box of plants! I was excited for every one of them. Huge fan of the A recavum. They are so resistant to drafty cold weather and extremes of wet and dry watering mistakes. The leaf shape on that one does look more like an A esmeraldense than mine does. Usually I have seen them with more elongated leaves and lobes than their cousin A. esmeraldense. Each anthurium is so unique, it probably just has its own shape and style, or it will change as it matures.
🫶 I have a monster a Subpinnata and it makes runners, if you can handle that it's a great plant. I like the anthuriums you purchased ❤
Runners mean more Subpinnatas to love! The anthuriums are such fascinating plants, aren't they? ❤️
Memo: is everybody ready for an unboxing? 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Me: grabs phone to Google everything while chanting 'dogo's braces plants will wait' repeatedly
A. Argyrostachyum is my fav - and yes, I did laugh when the second leaf fell off. Sorry
I love the pin tuck look of those leaves.
A. Lance's was very interesting, the water channel was amazing, adaptation is fascinating.
P. Pinnatilobum aff Again, gorgeous pin tuck leaves. What does aff and sp mean?
A. Affalterianum, pin tuck leaves again. Memo's got a theme happening in this order😅
All beautiful Memo.
Hope you're feeling better soon (hoping your dad is too) thanks for making this segment even though you felt awful.
🇦🇺🙋🏻
Loving the enthusiasm Chris as always! 😄 'Aff' means affinity and 'sp' species, indicating close relation or identification in progress. Here's to quick recoveries all around! Dad is almost fully back to normal now which is great!
I hope you feel better soon.
Loved Philodendron pinnatilobum aff. Stunning!!!
Great unboxing with a fab collection of plants 🪴💚🪴💚 I'm going to start with the ones that underwhelmed me, and that was the offolterianum, and the argyrostachyum. I've previously thought about getting those, but when you unwrapped yours I just thought they looked ok. They may change my mind after seeing future updates on them 🤷♀️ Now, the Anthurium recavum, waterburyanum, pinnatilobum aff, and Philodendron luxurians are super cool plants that I would definitely not be unhappy with in my collection, but the ones that really surprised me, and I would add to my wishlist in a heartbeat, are the Anthurium lancea and most definitely the flavolineatum.....I absolutely love those two 😮😍😍😍 I have the Monstera subpinnata but I'm finding the leaves sensitive to a number of things, so I'm going to be chopping it into wetsticks to start again 😢 I wish you the best of luck with all of them and I hope you have a speedy recovery 🙏🤗🤗🤗
Great insights, Carey as always! It's fascinating how our plant tastes can evolve. Fingers crossed the ones that underwhelmed might surprise us in the future. 🌿💚 I instantly thought of you when I unpacked the lancea, I thought you might like it 😉
Good looking plants; I love them all! Fave & surprised by the monstera. Looking fwd to updates & thanks for sharing Memo!
Lol 😅 you are so cute and funny!
"My sinuses hate me right now and I hate them" 😂
Yes, you are not alone. We all hate certain parts of our bodies some days!
Haha, glad you enjoyed my misery humor! 😅 As for the flat pack mystery, it's all about careful packing and sometimes a little plant yoga. 🌱
I ❤️ ❤️ love that monstera! So worth the work 😁 😮
That Monstera love is real! ❤️ It's amazing what a bit of TLC can do.
How the heck do they get them so flat???😮
WOW such cool plants. I have the Anthurium lancea and it is such a hardy plant. I went totally over board by the sale and got in 12 plants. 9 Anthuriums, 3 Philodenderons and one monstera subpinnata. But I had a drama for 5 days as the delivery guy didn't find my door. The only ones who are still struggeling are the philodendrons.
Wow, 12 plants is an amazing haul! Sorry to hear about the delivery drama, but it sounds like you're doing a great job with them. 🌱💚 but yeah the Philos are always the ones that are the most sensitive for sure.
Memo thank you for taking the time to show us your new gorgeous plants even though you’re under the weather! 🫶🏼🥹 One of the many reasons we love you!!!!! Also I just made my 1st and 2nd purchase from Ecuagenera CA and got my 1st package Monday and my 2nd arrives today! My Anthurium Lux is gorgeous!!!!! My Anthurium Zamora Queen and Anthurium Crystallinum X Sagittatum will be arriving today and I’m sooooo freakin excited! 🫶🏼😮💨🫠🥹😍 Your video dropped just in time for me! As always thank youuuu for yet another amazing video and I hope your new babies rehab phenomenal for youuuuu! Excited to see what you make of them in the future aswell! (Also I couldn’t agree with you more about them being on the cheap-er-ishy side because of unknown appearances of the new hybrid crosses when they are mature BUT I’m totally willing to take the gamble on such great Anthuriums!) 🌱🪴☺️
Your support means the world! 🌍 So excited for your Ecuagenera haul. Those Anthuriums sound divine! Wishing all the best for your new plant babies. 🌱💚
I enjoy your videos so much. Have had bad experiences _2 with Ecua.....may try again after seeing some of yours. Thanks for taking time to post...always a delight.
Love unboxing 👍 I haven’t heard of any of the plants you ordered other than the Lux. 😀🇨🇦 Hope you’re feeling better soon 🤞
Thanks, Linda! I'm glad to introduce some new plant friends to you. Feeling better each day! 🌱❤️
Love your videos - Get well soon! That same virus is going around the states too.
Thank you so much! 😊 I'm doing my best to bounce back quickly. It's comforting to know I'm not alone in this. Stay healthy and safe!
I do love unboxings. Can’t wait for updates. Hope you feel better soon. Makes me want to go plant shopping. I love the textury (not a word but you know what I mean) plants.
Your excitement for unboxings is contagious! 😁 Thanks for the well wishes. And yes, 'textury' is definitely a word in the plant world!
I got a Pinnatilobum from Ecuagenera last October. Grows and sizes up really fast for me
Pinnatilobum's grows fast you say? Excellent can't wait to see it size up, it is defo a stunner, thanks for letting me know. 🌿
I will be looking forward to an update - I hope the plants do well 🍀🍀🍀 I enjoy very much your fun comments and enthusiasm :-) I´m particularly interested in P. luxurians - if it is really as difficult as people say (it´s been my favourite for a long time, but I´m too scared to buy it 😀 ).
Updates will definitely be coming! The P. luxurians is a challenge I'm ready for. Let's demystify it together. 🌿
The subpinnata has long been on my list 😍 not finding it here in Canada.
Also liking the lancea and pinnatalobum! I laughed when I read the bum, since you caught me in a spit-take with Superbummmmm! 😂
Feel better soon 💚
And the flavolineatum is awesome too!
Hope the spit-take was worth it! 😂 Glad to hear the subpinnata and lancea caught your eye. Thanks for the laughs and well wishes!
I believe I need to have that Anthurium Lancea and also the Monstera Subpinnata in my life. I feel you when you say, oh where am I going to put these?😂 I do the same and then turn around and order more.
Anthurium Flavolineatum is deffinitly my favorit, a shame that the roots look so bad.
I'm about to place my first ecuagenera order, I was unsure between the A. Esmeraldense and the A. Recavum. In the end I'm going to go for the Esmeraldense (your species spotlight convinced me), now I only have like 10 more to decide from 😂
Esmeraldense is a beauty! Can't wait to hear which others make your list. 🌱
In the end I just got anthuriums; Esmeraldense, Besseae, Draconopterum, Nigrolaminum gigi, Pedatum (also bc of your species profile), Truncicola and Luxurians. Thought of getting more but also, I want to afford my rent 😅 Look forward to seeing how your new babes fare!
Anthurium waterburyanum?
I bought a philodendron green sky at my states orchid show from ecuageneras booth. I asked for the philodendron esmeraldense, but they only had the green sky, which is similar. The it was only in moss and I repotted it into a nice and chunky mix. I may have put it in too much light. It wasn't in direct sun, but directly ish under a grow light that isn't super strong (average daisy chane shop light strength. It took a nose dive within one week, but I don't know if it is that sensitive to being repotted or if it was too much light. I'm very experienced at repotting. Which do you think is the culprit? It's been consistently in 50% humidity.
Hey! 🌱 Light shock post-repotting can happen, especially under grow lights, even if they're not super strong. Given your setup and the 50% humidity, it might be more about the light adjustment than the repotting itself. Try dialing back the light intensity or duration and see how it responds. Keep us posted!
What is the name of the plant that is usually on your right shoulder, where you have the OMG sign? Thank you
That would be my beloved Philodendron esmeraldense, if I understood the one you mean. It loves the spotlight! 🌿😉
Thank you @@Houseplantygoodness
Can we order for UK delivery on the ecuagenera Europe website or there original website?
I've always ordered via their original website for UK
I think the last time I looked sadly from the UK we could not order from the EU one 😭😭
Nice unboxing! Love the pinntabilobium only wish my leaves were that big. Spring is coming! 🥳 Wish you would do an order from Tropicals. 🫶🏼💚 ps hope you can save the Flavoliniotom. Spelling. 🤪
Spring is indeed on the horizon! 🌸 And the Flavoliniotom? Challenge accepted. 😉 I am planning a tropicals order as soon as the weather warms up so i can give them a fair chance 😉
