I struggle to understand why major sites like Amazon and Etsy don't respond to complaints about scam dealers and continue to allow the seller to advertise on their site.
Right?! I agree! Even the ads that have obviously fake offerings showing a rise with a literal rainbow of neon colours in a rose…? I see it as the actual app company itself participating in the fraud being offered just because they have to be purposely looking the other way to not see the outrageous things being offered. Governments don’t seem to be motivated in any way… (makes them a participant also in my opinion). I guess the only thing that will straighten this out is for a class action lawsuit to be launched against EBAY and or ETSY for hundreds of millions of dollars…
I am sooooo glad I came across you! I actually have on Etsy to purchase seeds for an organic monstera deliciosa albo variegated. Before I clicked to make the purchase I decided to check first how to grow them and I came across you. So glad I didn’t purchase it. I don’t know if they’re ligit or not. Thank you so much for your explanation. I guess “maybe” one day I’ll get to have even if it’s 1 leaf with the node to propagate in water. I want one so bad but just can afford it. They are too expensive. 😩 Again, thank you! I have also subscribed to your channel. ☺️🪴🌱
I bought the seeds before watching this, but the seeds in the pic do look like the monstera seeds. Obviously they can't guarantee the variegation. We will see.
Thank you for saving me from spending so much money on seeds. You really have educated me. I been looking for a variegated monstera for many years. But I don't know where to find them.
This was extremely helpful! I only just recently found out that plants mate! Which is fascinating! So this in depth explanation was very helpful. Im intrigued and I want to learn more
This is very true I’ve had a lot of concerns. I have a listing on etsy right now for monstera delicosa seeds.. mine were harvested this month. Very large healthy seeds
Wow! Your video popped up while I was looking for monstera seeds.......SO glad I watched it, I was about to buy some on Amazon LOL Makes total sense about possibly not getting the real plant because of the genetics, etc. I would love to get this plant but didn't realize they were so expensive. Can you recommend for me what would be the best way to find a cutting? Thank you, just subscribed!
Oh, Lord. I am so happy I saw your vid!! I was about to buy the seeds! Not anymore, Sir. The seller says that with the seeds I would get those very exotic patterns...hum, I don't think so haha. Thank you!!! YOu saved me time and money!
Thank you:) Great video! I wish I had seen this before making such a purchase lol. Through amazon, I purchased a set of seeds which just arrived (about 2months after ordering), they looked a little odd to me, so I decided to see what they are supposed to look like (which is how I stumbled on your video)...nothing like what I have! Luckily, they were only about $3, so not a terrible burn. I'm kinda curious what they actually are, but don't think I'll be planting them.
My monestera seeds just arrived I purchased it from etsy. I opened the package, the seeds are exactly like the first set you have, plus some of them are already germinated, there is also some kind of debris inside the bag. I'm excited to plant them I don't think all seeds from etsy are scam. I will return after a while to let you know how it went.
@@DionneRoxanne the black seeds in the video actually look like canna seeds to me, i had a canna and the seeds are black round and very hard. Not sure why they would pick canna seeds but they look like it
So glad you did this video. And for taking one for the team with your scam purchases. I appreciate the science lesson too-great explanation of the cross breeding traits. The purple monstera was hilarious. Do you plan to plant those seeds to see what you get?
I really thought the same "I wonder what plant actually is in there?" Then I immediately thought "I mean, it's a scam, so they're probably just small gravel rocks" lol
I believe that Thai constellation monsteras can be bred through seed since they have an inheritable mutation, only some of the resulting plants will be variegated though. On the other hand albo variegated monsteras cannot be propagated via seed since they originated from a form of genetic chimerism and thus the seeds either end up normal or on occasion they just straight up cannot photosynthesize and die not long after sprouting. that’s been my experience working with other plants with chimeric variegation, if anyone has managed to seed propagate a chimeric plant and produce offspring that retained chimerism I’d love to hear about it.
I follow someone on Instagram who grew Thai Constellation Monsteras from her own seeds. They were variegated, I don't know how many plants were not variegated.
Thanks for the worthily information about variegated monstera . Would you mind please let us know from where can buy such variegated one? Trustable sites😊
I bought seeds too, it cost me $6.00 and took 4 months to get, they came from China. I’m going to plant them and see what I get. They don’t look like either seed you have.
@@LaurenPS Etsy will back your purchase if you open up a claim after germinating them. Or leave them as is and send a pic of them along with a pic of the real seeds. Etsy has to back you.
Thank you very much for the info. Many of my friends got scammed with these seeds after I told them not to buy them on etsy. Do you sell these real monstera variegated seeds?
So I didn't learn anything about Monstera variegated and it's trait because I was distracted watching the cat walking on the table. The all love to do that...just for the fun of it, because cats RULE. SHe is so beautiful! Watching the video again :)
Great, great video, very educational. I have been on a chase to buy a Monstera plant, but all I see is Split Leaf Philodendrons, labeled as Monstera Deliciosa. Could you also make a video on all the differences. I can't believe you don't have more followers, and likes. Following...
can you please tell me what is the difference in looks of monstera taurii and delicious to me they look the same and what type of seeds do you sell plz looking at indoor philodedrons monsteras etc
And also, your seeds could be a mix of full variegated with a green non-variegated that carries the recessive variegated gene which would create a percent of variegated plants. So you never know. That is if your seeds are real Monstera Deliciosa. Or your seeds could be from non-variegated plants that both carry the recessive variegated gene. So don’t throw those seeds away yet!
I saw a variegated albo monstera plant with fruit last week, did not pick it as I doubted it would produce variegated offspring. Also could not tell if the fruit was ripe or not. After seeing your video I am curious to try, even if I fail.
You said that you bought those monstera seeds from Mexico, can you give me information from your supplier. I'm from Mexico and I've been looking for a monstera plant long time ago :(
I got my fake seeds of variegated Monstera deliciosa, obliqua, Thai constellation and Albo. Same seeds and I really don’t know what kind of seeds I got.
thanks I'm looking know for the steam cutting for the variegated monstera deliciosa plant right now, do you know any trusted sellers? I was looking at esty but not any more.
I have my variegated monstera Albo borg shooting the variegated flower bud. Is it worth keeping and hope that it will give me variegated seeds or should I cut it off and safe the plant energy. How high would be my chances for growing variegated monstera from my own var monstera seeds ( does every flower give you seed and how to pollinate it)
Hello and tank you gor this Video. Can i ask you something? is it the same Problem with Monstera Thai Constelatisn seeds or would that work with Thai Constelations seeds ?
That may not be a monstera deliciosa seeds but of a monstera swiss cheese. I was able to collect seeds from my monstera and it looks very much the same to the one you purchased online.
I struggle to understand why major sites like Amazon and Etsy don't respond to complaints about scam dealers and continue to allow the seller to advertise on their site.
this has been happening since the inception of these platforms....basically they don`t give a shit :)
Because some websites get a percentage of what you sell
Because, Profit

Crystal, I have fresh monstera seeds that I send packaged in spagnum to keep fresh and keep from sprouting. Let me know if interested!!
@@earningsog3472 I am
You are absolutely right, I did get fake seeds!
It's a bummer!
Very much enjoyed this. The rhythmic typography was beautifully done! Always wanted to use it and no reason but you absolutely nailed it!
Thanks, Adam! I kinda stole it from some of the Bon Appetit videos with Claire, but it made so much sense to use it when I was working on editing. :)
Thank you so much man this video was very in depth and I learned a lot. Saved my ass on buying seeds off Etsy lol

Good thing my second alternative was to directly get the plant from Walmart.
Those seeds look very much like Strelitzia sp. seeds. Never bought any seeds online and definitely won't in the future. Useful info, thanks!
Very interesting and informative. I'm glad I came across this during my research into buying seeds. Thx!

hey, i think to avoid getting your pics stolen you should put a watermark on them or something ;)
Great information, looking forward to when your next supply comes in.
Great video! I've learned a lot from it. Thank you.
What if you cross pollinate between two variegated monsteras? Wouldn't that be 50% chance of passing down the variegated trait by seed?
I learned a lot! Thanks!
How do I get some real seeds "
Thanks for the worthily information about variegated monstera . Would you mind please let us know from where can buy such variegated one? Trustable sites😊

Where did you get the real one?
That was really interesting, thanks!
I Bought Real Monstera seed Thanks
Where is the real question?? Lol
Another very informative video . Thank you.

I wonder if there is somewhere you can report scammers. The department of agriculture should have a branch for this.
Try calling consumers protection! They deal with scams usually too
Thank you very much for the info. Many of my friends got scammed with these seeds after I told them not to buy them on etsy. Do you sell these real monstera variegated seeds?

I also brought the varigated ones on etsy and i realised it was a scam and got a refund x
Explaining the process of cross pollination genetics probably would have been much easier and more understanding if you used a punnett square

Soo helpful!! Thank you :)
My question is where I can find the real seed?
I would love to know as well...
He sells them on his website the link is in the video description
Buy the plants , get them to mature , wait then to flower, be polinizated and then took their seeds
Thanks for sharing these video.
This video is scaring me, I just ordered a couple of the monstera delisioso seeds.
I got my fake seeds of variegated Monstera deliciosa, obliqua, Thai constellation and Albo. Same seeds and I really don’t know what kind of seeds I got.
I bought white variegated monstera seed from online ,the seed is black and the cover is too hard.😊
would there be a higher chance if 2 fully variegated Monsteras reproduced?
thanks I'm looking know for the steam cutting for the variegated monstera deliciosa plant right now, do you know any trusted sellers? I was looking at esty but not any more.

Is the same true for Thai constellation? I just found ten on Etsy for $100
i woder how those fruits taste

Can you recommend me if I want to order to Thailand?

Can i ask you something? is it the same Problem with Monstera Thai Constelatisn seeds or would that work with Thai Constelations seeds ?
