I still can’t get over that something as wholesome as houseplants gets this dark and complicated!!! I love the human element when it comes to creating new varieties and finding ways of taking better care of what already exists and conservation… it’s wild how far that pendulum swings in the other direction at times. Love learning about all these niche back stories! Maybe one day we’ll see a pink monstera 🤩
I'd strongly discourage buying any indoor plant over 40$. Hunting a rare plant is much more exiting than shopping for it and you might be surprised how quickly you can get "rare" plants for cheap. We have small private growers you pretty much give out variegated plants for special occasions. Most of the time they are given by word of mouth. We have a small garden center owned by a family that sells you a medium prince of orange for 10 bucks and if you pick a "good" pot you can get a big plant including a small propagation that just comes along for free. There are older ladies that just give away their monsteras because they are glad someone takes proper care of them because they are getting way to big for them. The further you go from social media the more joy you will have finding something "rare" in a small greenery. And then your plants come with a story! you will be much happier for it.
Another excellent video!! The music and editing makes it feel like I'm listening to a cold case detective, I swear at the end I'm half expecting you to tell me to contact the local authorities if I have any information of the whereabouts of the pink princess 😂
I wasn't aware that this plant existed. I love that you were in the middle of that drama too. I'm somewhat new to the plant thing. I love that I woke up to this video. This is well edited.
Pink Princess is a sport of philodendron "Royal Queen". It had erubescens and wendlandii and others in its background. Wendlandii was used to create more compact hybrids.
@prettyingreen . Philodendron Royal Queen PP3396 is 1973 Robert McColley hybrid that is patent expired. I dont know what nursery Pink Princess originated at. I used to shop at Bamboo Nursery and did not see Pink Princess there.
Another excellent video. I swear I remember growing up with this in the 80’s and it was a common. Like collecting baseball cards, never know when the coaster is going back up! Great job!
So excited for this! Really been loving this type of content would love to know more about the rare Anthuriums and see what’s lying behind those doors.
Chris, your documentaries are wonderful and put many things into perspective. They also instill confidence in your subscribers and customers when making educated decisions for their plant purchases. Thank you once again!
Just gotta say that costa farms provides box stores with very low variegated PPPs. I found one with very high variegation and she’s my pride and joy! Still feels like an amazing find because she’s just gorgeous!
I love your thriller movie style videos on ornamental plants. I am learning a lot watching your views. Learnt quickly the history of the Philodendron Pink Princess today.
Even before the start of video, I would like to point out that there are many videos online which shows that plant has lost its pink variegation. After several cuttings, plant lovers eventually toss it in a corner Or a bin. So I have decided that instead I will buy pink aglaonemas.
Love the history lesson on plants. It amazes me how much a lot of plants have dropped in price over the past year. The ppp will always be one of my favorites.
Oglesby had these by the tens of thousands in the mid 2000’s from tc. I remember getting overgrown 10” baskets for $8 wholesale. It was as literally everywhere and nobody cared
I have a pink princess and I hate it. The leaves get stuck almost every time. They grow wonky and the stem looks scraggly. Ugliest plant out of 150 plants I own.
Ha! That 3yr old prediction post has me rolling. Just bought mine from "Costa Farms" at the local Walmart.. for $1! Really is a pretty plant though, I'd never actually heard of it til today.
I got mine at Walmart and I've never in my life had to pay $25 for a plant I took the risk left it outside and forgot about it and it's growing just fine even stole some of her pups already
And now in Poland after this boom we can buy the small one (not the baby size) for 20-40 PLN so around 5-10 dollars. (we don't get paid a lot so it's like a 20-40 dollars for us comparing our earning)
0:06 as I’m sitting beside my very own of this plant species. Had such a hard time finding any info regarding its origins - until you showed up in my feed, 🎉
@@prettyingreen thank you! The only other “pink princess” I have seen locally had no pink and was priced at $200. This was about a month ago, at a fairly large nursery in the city.
I have 3 of them, and none of them have any pink on them. I had read once if they turn all green, the plant won't produce any pink leafs. I won't buy another one
I bought this on sale for 10 dollars at Lowe’s no. 1 don’t really know how to take care of plants no.2 always buy on sale and l plants that are unique…
Why are some of the pink princesses dark (dark cherries)? Is that just the emergent leaf? Do any stay dark? (I always thought the pink princess was a scraggle monster, so I don't have one.)
😂 why the eyeroll from that redditer? Of they wanted had that plant from earlier they should be happy. If they wanna buy it now and the price is too high for them thats the problem, then why they want it now? Because they saw it on instagram as well? 🤔
PPP are easy to look after, and easy to propagate. I give 3 plants from my original for free and I have 4 in my house at the moment. All this hype is such a nonsense.

I own the largest Pink Princess I've ever seen, 5ft tall, leaves 14 inch wide x 17 inch long. And I won it in a raffle last year as a 3 footer.

So interesting right!? I just saw a pink Musa! I think pink Monstera will come along at some point!
Oh god, I don't even want to know what a pink monstera will do to the market lol
@@ricky.888 Breaking Bad but with plants 😂😂😂 Heisenberg variegata 😂😂😂
@@ohemmygee216 Green yellow pink, whatever man just keep propagating that!
Let me tell you....I used to buy and sell cut up machine guns, and the plant world seems to have more shady characters. No joke.

People spend so much on them. I ordered my cutting for like 15$ it’s small but you can tell it’s gonna be pretty!
And now the pink princess philo is for sale at Trader Joe’s for $10.99
@@SK-xv1in The mass produced ones aren't high quality. A stunning triple-P will always be very rare and hard to acquire.
Bro, this new content that you're doing is just what the doctor ordered.
The Pink Princess also has the most plantshamers LOL. Many complained about its very leggy growth and the very random with low pink variegation.
Just finished the video on the way to Home Depot. While there found a marble pink princess with a ton of variegation for $19.99
Yup walmart $20 but same day the plantery here had one for $80 I just home it's not a fluke
Another excellent video!! The music and editing makes it feel like I'm listening to a cold case detective, I swear at the end I'm half expecting you to tell me to contact the local authorities if I have any information of the whereabouts of the pink princess 😂
Ive rewatched your previous documentaries so many times
Waking up to this one LITERALLY made my day. Thank you!!!
Damn. This comment MAKES MY DAY 😭🤗😊😊😊 Appreciate you watching!!!
Holy shit I’m new to plant collecting and didn’t expect plant collecting to have such dark lore
Notifications on for this one
Appreciate it 🙌

That makes total sense. Did it come from McColley?

Great job!
So excited for this! Really been loving this type of content would love to know more about the rare Anthuriums and see what’s lying behind those doors.
I wonder too! Don’t know a lot about anthuriums, but I bet there’s some dirt 😅
I figured if I just waited it out till the craze was over, i could finally get one at a decent price. I did, and it's a great plant!!! 🤗🌱💚
Love! More of these documentary! 💚🌿
Thank you! Will do 😄

I’ve had my pink princess for 30 years!! And taken many cuttings and love them. I live in Perth, west Australia.
That is AWESOME!!! That’s a while to have a PPP!!! 🤗
I’m loving the plant stories! Very educational and interesting indeed! Please make more! 🙌🏼👏😀
very informative videos🌱🌱🌱 more vlogs please...Make us more love our plants because of their story! ♥️♥️♥️
Listening to this while at the grocery store and looked over and there was a pink princess
I love your plant documentaries!
I love this new style of content, I feel like you can make it about any plant and it would still be entertaining
Loving these documentary videos, getting a bit extra detail and history on these plants is great thanks!
These videos are so much different from other plant videos on UA-cam😍
Really enjoying these like back stories on popular house plants! keep up the good work
Thank you!! 🙏 😄

Can’t wait till next week to see what the scammers were doing
Oglesby had these by the tens of thousands in the mid 2000’s from tc. I remember getting overgrown 10” baskets for $8 wholesale. It was as literally everywhere and nobody cared
Hahahaa wow that’s incredible!!! Love Oglesby
Thanks for this very educational video. I'm so stunned by what goes on in the plant market!
I have a pink princess and I hate it. The leaves get stuck almost every time. They grow wonky and the stem looks scraggly. Ugliest plant out of 150 plants I own.
Hahahahhaa I appreciate this honesty! The leaves ALWAYS get stuck😅
I just put water on my unfurling leaves with a q-tip, a few x a day and they're fine! 🤗💚🌱 Love my PPP, and my White knight💚
Im so glad I stuck with Pink Fittonias they’re so low maintenance and have *more* pink
Ha! That 3yr old prediction post has me rolling. Just bought mine from "Costa Farms" at the local Walmart.. for $1! Really is a pretty plant though, I'd never actually heard of it til today.
A DOLLAR!!!!?!
I love these investigative report style videos!
My local grocery store has pink princess marble and they keep coming in. Thankfully, they’re good prices.
Love to hear this!

3:25 Ben wayon. I paid 6$ at a franchised grocery store. Almost morbid knowing all this lol
🙌
The Pink Princesses in the 1980s weren’t like the ones today. They were stronger, grew bigger.
Just picked mine up today it has 3 vines and was $26 at my local grocery store
There you go!! 😄
@@prettyingreen thank you! The only other “pink princess” I have seen locally had no pink and was priced at $200. This was about a month ago, at a fairly large nursery in the city.

Soo excited for this
I love these videos, keep them coming!!
this is a very entertaining style of video, nice work
Excellent! Bravo!
Very informative video, keep up the great work!
Very interesting back story; some are only pink in name only.
I bought this on sale for 10 dollars at Lowe’s no. 1 don’t really know how to take care of plants no.2 always buy on sale and l plants that are unique…
Another Amazing Video!!!
Appreciate it Shane!! Let's catch up soon!
Why are some of the pink princesses dark (dark cherries)? Is that just the emergent leaf? Do any stay dark? (I always thought the pink princess was a scraggle monster, so I don't have one.)
🥰🌿🥰🌿 thank you
So informative!
fire vid
Thank you!! 😄
The pink princess marble/galaxy in my opinion, is much more attractive. Just found one full of color this weekend for 1998
I love the galaxy style var!!! So pretty
I just git 2 on clearance rack at lows lol
This is the way!
I'm so glad that this is a plant I will never want.
hello Black Cardinal History please
Just in time!!! I been thinking of getting a ppp
Yes!!! Try and get a marbled one 😄
Got mine for $20 it keeps giving pink leaves and die 😢I prefer the heavily green leaves with little pink at least they stay I know I have to cut it
New subscriber! 🎉
Appreciate you!!! :)
Good informative 🎉
Esperando ansioso!
😆😊🤗
I got mine today for $10 in bunnings 😂
The color of really cool, but it doesn't make a ppp attractive. They look sickly
I bought one from Trader Joe's last month for $12. 🤣
Recently at my local Trader Joe’s I found them for 10.99 USD
Incredible!!!
😂 why the eyeroll from that redditer? Of they wanted had that plant from earlier they should be happy. If they wanna buy it now and the price is too high for them thats the problem, then why they want it now? Because they saw it on instagram as well? 🤔
❤❤❤❤
🤗
the way i got one for free just by trading my magnificum anthurium
Smart! 😄

Amazing!!

PPP are easy to look after, and easy to propagate. I give 3 plants from my original for free and I have 4 in my house at the moment. All this hype is such a nonsense.
NPCs are so strange, so desperate for money they'll even scalp plants lmao
