    Y’all I just discovered that the ilsemanii has new leaves that come in yellow and I hate it so much someone please confirm that’s not the case!!!! 😭
    If this is true then I am RELIEVED I never shelled out for one omg.

      Yup, they come in yellow and then harden to white (if they even have variegation, because that is a lottery by itself 😂)

    Another one that famously loses its distinctive characteristic as it ages is the El Choco Red!! The beautiful red back is only apparent on the young leaves. This is why they changed the name. Still an absolutely gorgeous plant with beautiful red petioles but the backs eventually come in just green.
    I also think a way a plant can “trick” you is by looking one way in ideal conditions that are really hard to replicate or take a long time to get to. Melanochrysum being notoriously hard to size up, for example.

    Have both the Paraiso and the Rayii and can confirm the disappointment. Add Pink Syngonium to the list. They come out bubble gum pink and fade to a washed out bronze- neon, flecked, pink spot all do this. Also the ring of fire.

    Another one, and probably the most infamous and worst of them all, are the plants that have chemically induced colors. I'm sure most people know how they work already but for those who don't, once these plants aren't regularly treated with chemicals (like when you've bought it from a seller for example), the colors that you bought them for will bleed away from their leaves and you'll be left with the unvariegated version of it. Most known for this trait is the pink congo, but there's also a white congo and that newer ice princess scam

    I get tricked by plants all the time at the supermarket. MMM, look at those giant tasty looking strawberries, TRICKED. MMM, those tomatoes look delicious, TRICKED. MMM I bet those oranges are ready to explode with juice, TRICKED again. MMM look at those seedless watermelons-----you know the drill. Even at the lumber yard, ever buy a two by four, ...It's not two by four. Never turn your back on a plant,--they're tricky!

    The most tricked I've ever felt by a plant was with the Begonia julau. I almost bought 1 on impulse thinking it kept it's neon pink dots and dark leaves, but turns out, as it matures, it becomes bright green with white dots and actually loses dots with every leaf! I've since come around and actually fell in love with the mature form, too, and plan on getting one, but I would've been so upset had I bought that on impulse only to find in a few months that the leaves start coming out bright green.
    Great video, by the way. As someone who got into the plant hobby after many of these plants first hit the market, it's interesting to see why some of them are priced so much lower than I'd personally expect (from decrease in interests), and to hear about the reactions people had to finding these things out 😅. Weirdly enough, though, the fact that the Paraiso Verde actually changes it's variegation depending on the temperature makes me actually want one (from previously not caring for them), so I can experiment with it 😂

    • @PlantFriendDownTheStreet
      @PlantFriendDownTheStreet  Рік тому +1

      It’s just a caramel marble with no variegation. Not even reverted, just the plant with no variegation. I don’t personally love it but if other folks do then that’s great! Just don’t buy it thinking it will ever have variegation.
