I got my first variegated one when they were 500 to 800 EUR a leaf. And it reverted. The next one reverted as well. Then I propped them, they came back and by their 3rd leaf at most, they reverted again. No matter the conditions I gave them. Granted, those were Albo. Not Aurea. But I could kick myself for even getting them - not just because they love to revert, but also because it's JUST an Adansonii. I totally fell for the hype. So in keeping with your rating, I'd give it a 2. It's so unspectacular, so underwhelming... no matter which variegation. It's certainly ridiculous how much money I spent on them.
@@Houseplantygoodness All good. Learned my lesson. It shaped how I collect plants today and it taught me to do my research. And to not follow trends. :)
Love this series! And yea an update on pon please! Ive barely dabbled in pon in the years ive had plants, but im curious to hear more of your thoughts. Im glad to see this video in particular because I don’t have this plant yet and I think I’ll keep holding off. Thank you so much! Much love from Texas ❤
Awww glad you are enjoying the series 😊 yeah I think a follow up pon video will be coming up soon for sure. Its an interesting media, which I kinda have to use due to travelling frequently. If I didn't I would likely still have most of mine in a soil type media.
Yeah I try to give a longer time period review, just to be able to truly say, over the long run, this is what I experienced 💚🌿 glad you enjoyed the content 😊
Absolutely love this series, it’s one of my favourite playlists to throw on! I actually just finished watching another one of your videos and you were asking about tips for white fly. In one of Good Growing’s latest videos, Emma purchased a little machine on Amazon that’s supposed to suck in flies, mosquitos, etc and it seems to be working well for her fungus gnat problem, maybe something like that could help with white flies too. Anyway, just wanted to say I love the series and your channel, you have no idea how much suffering you have saved my plants with your tips and tricks, and how much my wishlist has grown since I started watching!! Hope you’re having a lovely day 😊
Awww thank you so so much for the lovely comments and super glad uoy are enjoying 😊 also great tips, I must have missed than video from Emma, will reach out and see what she used 👍🌿💚
I’m leaving this comment with all the love in the world and with zero judgment…but that plant...I’ll just say…bless it’s little heart! A year later and it’s a crispy, scraggly, mess of a plant. Still love it though! Variegated plants are so much fun to grow, even if they are a pain in the neck sometimes. The anticipation of a new leaf, not knowing what it’ll look like, is always fun. Maintaining variegation, propagating can be a welcome challenge when you’ve been growing for a long time, it’s fun to be challenged sometimes.
I remember when I first got interested in Monstera Adansonii it was on Instagram the normal green type back in 2016, I did not know its name at that time but thought how delicate it looked with all the fenestrations and vining too. Once I found out the name I came across a variegated one which was stunning, this was in 2018, the grower was in Sweden. 🇸🇪. Apparently it mutated in her care, and from there on the demand for this plant escalated massively. Lucky her. ☘️
@@Houseplantygoodness I don't know if all the variegated ones originated from her plant but it was the first one I saw on Instagram. If you're on Instagram I'll send her page details to you
Love your videos as always ❤ ❤ Some plants look better when they are non variegated Variegated billitae and gloriosum Most variegated philodendrons It’s the holes combined with the variegation it just looks a bit sick I think if people are looking for a variegated or colourful plant Syngoniums are the way to go They’re cheap and they are pretty stable if you give it a consistent light They also don’t burn as easily Don’t know why people love it enough I recently got a Syngonium red spot tricolour and Aurea plant and it’s just a lovely easy going plant that was relatively cheap as well I always think I’ll wait for the plant to become widely available and cheap then I won’t feel guilty even if I kill it 😂
You are completely right, syngoniums need a lot more love for sure. And yep 💯 Agree wait for the price to come down. If I really want a plant and it's too expensive then I have to learn patience and wait 😃 💚🌿
I don't understand why the regular green form doesn't get any credit. When the light hits it right and it shimmers.....so beautiful 😍 Um and I enjoy the tangents. Tangent away 😆
I own a mint or marble. It is easy peasy. Fast growing and very stress free. It ‘s on a moss pole with south facing light and no browning. I have a Albo on the other side of the pole but it is stubborn and slow. Time will tell. I do recommend the marble.
Memo,please do the pon follow-up video 2 years later. It's very helpful to share experience and learning from it. Your videos are really good fun to watch - I laugh with you 😄 When you talk about pests, I can totally relate 😄 My nemesis is thrips: months and months of spraying and watering with various pesticides and they still munch on.
i live literally so close to taverham garden center XD (i got all my plants from there) and i can confirm That there are lots of very rare (and expensive) plants there
Love this series! I got mine off Mercari for $80! Seems to be a fast grower for me, it didn’t even take that long to get going from a cutting. my only issue with it, is if there’s too much guttation, the ends of the leaves brown up/rot a little, the Rest of leaf is okay.
Ohhh that is a good point never thought that it could be the guttation that leads to enhanced browning on variegated section. 👍💚🌿 Hopefully yours keeps growing beautifully 🤞🏻🍀
Guttation is not an issue with this plant. You would see sap droplets on the back. It happens more often Parthenocissus Amazonica type Vining plants and flowing plants. I've never noticed any so in my adonsonii. I think it had something to do with fertilizer burning the edges... just my opinion🤗😚
@@jojosandgigi probably depends on what soil mix you have it in! I thought mine was pretty airy but my greenhouse cabinet also has high humidity. Mine gets little droplets on leaf tips all the time which is where it browns. I’ll probably switch to an even more airy mix when repotting next. I think we may also be defining guttation differently!
I am glad I am not the only one with a fond place in my heart for the green one. But yeah the variegated one isn't anywhere near as beautiful in my humble opinion 💚🌿
Love this plant so much. But the only drawback is how long the variegation takes to show when a new leaf unfurls. I mean it is great nevertheless, just that there's that slight "anticipation" that it might just be a reverted leaf instead! hahaha! A fear all variegated lovers might have.
My plant looks exactly like yousr!! I've been stressed about it and wondering what I was doing wrong.... I think its just the way it grows. I grow mine under T5 grow lights at temperatures between 69 and 74 degrees. Is it possible it doesn't like fertilizer? I feel like when i did fertilize it went downhill and started burning on the ends.
Ohhh you might be right I fertilised this the same as my other plants, so frequently, I might try to pull back on fertiliser and see how it goes. Hopefully yours bounces back too 🤞🏻💚🌿
I always find it weird that people get upset about a plant reverting. Your plants get healthy, gets over a virus, or stops mutating in their care and that is a bad thing? 😂
I got my first variegated one when they were 500 to 800 EUR a leaf. And it reverted. The next one reverted as well.

Ohhh no I am so sorry you went through that Tanya, but yeah I get it it's just an adansonii 🤷🏻😅🌿💚

Some plants look better when they are non variegated
Variegated billitae and gloriosum
Most variegated philodendrons
It’s the holes combined with the variegation it just looks a bit sick
I think if people are looking for a variegated or colourful plant
Syngoniums are the way to go
They’re cheap and they are pretty stable
if you give it a consistent light
They also don’t burn as easily
Don’t know why people love it enough
I recently got a Syngonium red spot tricolour and Aurea plant and it’s just a lovely easy going plant that was relatively cheap as well
I always think I’ll wait for the plant to become widely available and cheap then I won’t feel guilty even if I kill it 😂

Um and I enjoy the tangents. Tangent away 😆
Awww glad I am not the only one that enjoys the tangents 😅😅😅 yeah I agree fully with the green one, no one talks about the shimmer 😍😍😍💚🌿
I own a mint or marble. It is easy peasy. Fast growing and very stress free. It ‘s on a moss pole with south facing light and no browning. I have a Albo on the other side of the pole but it is stubborn and slow. Time will tell. I do recommend the marble.
Ohhh I have heard it too about the marble is a lot more easy going, thanks for sharing your experience 😊💚🌿
I prefer the all green form too (it's the only adasonii I have). I think sometimes some variegated plants look diseased...
Yeah I would tend to agree with you not all variegation looks great 😅💚🌿
Memo,please do the pon follow-up video 2 years later. It's very helpful to share experience and learning from it.

Awww thanks ☺️ 🙏 💚 🌿
Needs more likes ppl he doesn’t ask for them but do it.
Love this series!
I got mine off Mercari for $80!

The droplets are transpiration... that's normal
💚💚💚 I like the green form. There’s some gorgeous variegated plants out there but this one does nothing for me.
I am glad I am not the only one with a fond place in my heart for the green one. But yeah the variegated one isn't anywhere near as beautiful in my humble opinion 💚🌿
Thanks for the video. But I’d say maybe making it more concise will definitely bring it up a notch
Love this plant so much. But the only drawback is how long the variegation takes to show when a new leaf unfurls. I mean it is great nevertheless, just that there's that slight "anticipation" that it might just be a reverted leaf instead! hahaha! A fear all variegated lovers might have.
Survive or not...thsta great advice. Sometimes a plant is just a bad one... I have got a new plant of a variety and it has done much better...
Yeah for sure I would agree with you there, sometimes the genetics on the one someone might have, might be a bit off 💚🌿
My plant looks exactly like yousr!! I've been stressed about it and wondering what I was doing wrong.... I think its just the way it grows. I grow mine under T5 grow lights at temperatures between 69 and 74 degrees. Is it possible it doesn't like fertilizer?

As I see "as it was pictured on Instagram" I really feel sorry.
19:48 Monstera Peru variegated?? :P
Interestingly not the one I was thinking off, but still applies 😅😅😅
I always find it weird that people get upset about a plant reverting. Your plants get healthy, gets over a virus, or stops mutating in their care and that is a bad thing? 😂
If you are still fooled to buy something "variegated", let me ask you, did you grow "the green version" or ????
Exactly my point, if you go for variegated, ideally see if you can grow the green one first
Lol you need to survive or parish!
