When I first saw this plant, I fell in love with it. When it became the new unicorn plant, the sellers that had this plant had high prices for a cutting. However, one day I went to Walmart and found a full pot for 9.98. I could not believe it!!!! So, I bought the last 2 pots. I can sell cuttings but, I love to share my plants with anyone who is interested. Thank you, Costa Farms for creating affordable, unicorn plants to the public. My B.B.s are doing great.
I was able to buy one last week at my local WalMart. They had so many lovely Costa Farms plants. I also got the Global Green Pothos. The prices are so affordable at my local store just $18.96 for 6 inch pots. I think it's worth waiting and not getting caught up in the frenzy to buy the plant at a high cost when others are selling cuttings etc. And, too I don't want to do transactions that infringe on the patent for a grower.
So glad to hear you were able to find one. We hope you enjoy it --- as well as your Global Green!
I found Baltic Blue at Walmart,only one,a dollar more🙄,$19.98
Okay bot
I'm so interested in seeing new Trending Tropicals cover pots!! Thank you for keeping it fun
Glad to hear, Blake!
@@CostaFarms yes definitely some black ones please!
@@elizabethsalgado21: Black isn't one of the colors for 2022, unfortunately, but we'll pass your feedback to the team for consideration for the future!
I picked one up from lowes! Great plant! it's growing really strongly so far.
Glad to hear you're enjoying her, Joe!
Got one from Home Depot. Absolutely stunning!
Thank you for giving her a great home! Reach out if you ever have any questions about her.
I thought I didn't want this plant I found it at Wal-Mart and didn't buy it. Went back about a week or so later and some of the plants were still there looking a little sad. So I picked out the best one and pruned it some and put it in my cart and thought I'll think about buying you. Got up to check out and saw other plants and decided no I don't need another plant so I put it with those plants hoping someone would buy it so it wouldn't die. Had other places to go and couldn't stop thinking about that darn plant, so decided to swing back by Wal-Mart to see if it was still there. Well now I'm the proud mama of a Baltic blue pothos! Costa farms is making my home a jungle! 🐍🐒🐌🌿😉🤗
Thank you so much for giving her a loving home! We're so glad to hear she'll enjoy a good life with you.
I just brought one home from Home Depot! She is a beauty!!
I finally found one for our home. Looks amazing and has so much new growth!! 💚
Got mine today at Lowe’s Canada. So happy to have one, though it’s $30. And it’s from Costa farms.
I have just brought a cutting.today awesome plant
Love this plant. Can hardly wait for them to get to Colorado!
Al ready I have the plant with me.
She love a full sunshine ..
It's so beautiful
I can't wait to get one. I'd like to get a cutting growing up my oak tree and a hanging basket of it on my porch.
We hope you're able to find one soon! One note, though: We don't recommend growing Baltic Blue as an outdoor landscape plant in Florida --- it's better treated as an indoor or container plant.
Just got mine at my local Lowe's! Arlington Texas thank you Costa farms my family has never seen such beauty they say!
So glad to hear! Thanks for giving her a great home!!
Just got mine today from Walmart! I love the fenestrations and color. I can’t wait to see what it looks like as it matures!
Thanks for giving her a great home, Emily. We hope you continue to enjoy her!
I bought the global green and the Baltic blue. I’ve had the global green for several months and it’s beautiful. The Baltic is new. I can’t wait to find out about your new “blue”.
I bought one recently and repotted it right away (as not recommended) but it has taken the abuse and looks great!
So great to hear you're enjoying your Baltic Blue, Ruth!! 💚💚💚
I was able to find one in local Lowe's. I am sooooo happy with it !!!💖 I also got lucky with finding a silver dragon at local Walmart ( this one I really didn't expect to find anywhere but plant nurseries)
Thank you so much for all you guys do!!!!!💖
Thank you so much for giving your plants a great home!
I finally found one at Lowes 😊
I picked up one last week. I love it! I'm in Iowa.
Thanks for giving her a great home, MrsFusion!
Just bought one tonight. It's so beautiful!💖
Thanks for giving him a great home, April! 💚💚💚
Just bought one today. Gorgeous shade! And the leaf shape is beautiful! If I can make room I might have to go back and get another. lol
Thank you for giving her a great home! We hope you enjoy her...and her friend if you get another!
I've been on the lookout for one! Haven't seen any yet here in rural NC. I sure hope we do get some!!
Sorry to hear you haven't found one yet. We are continuing to ship them on orders of our Trending Tropicals collection --- so keep an eye out at your favorite local retailers (www.costafarms.com/retailers). And if you just can't wait any more, you can buy online and have one shipped directly to your home!
I was able to pick up one on clearance at Walmart. I was extremely over watered so I am currently trying to dry it out. Beautiful plant!!!
Me too just now!
Erica: Sorry to hear your plant was overwatered, but thank you for giving your Global Green a great home! We hope you enjoy her! ---Justin, Costa Farms Horticulturist
We finally have more in NH. It’s a beautiful variety.
Glad to hear you're enjoying her, Olivia!
Living in north FL I couldn't find it anywhere. Finally ran across one in McDonnel GA at WalMart. So excited.
So glad to hear you finally found her. We hope you're enjoying her!
I got it today. Thanks!
Thanks for giving her a great home, Lyon!
Yes, I found it, bought it, it’s beautiful. I hope I can keep it healthy and happy
If you ever have any questions about your Baltic Blue Pothos, just reach out. We're here to help!
@@CostaFarms TY. Replying means great customer service. I’ll look for more of your plants and subscribe
I have gone to Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe's here in NJ , no luck jet, can't wait to find them 😀
Sorry to hear, Marian! We're shipping fresh crops as they're ready, so keep an eye out at your favorite local retailer (www.costafarms.com/retailers). And if you just can't wait, you can always order online and have it shipped directly to your home!
I have one and love it.
So glad to hear, Ruth!
Thanks for sharing how many cuttings you put in a pot. If mine does well gives me help in making another one that looks as nice
I would really love to see a mature plant either climbing or trailing. I picked up a few of these and I am trying to decide if I should get a pole of let it trail.
Hi Cindy: I'm afraid we don't have any mature ones here at Costa Farms --- we're constantly taking cuttings from our plants to be able to produce the next batch to go into stores!
Wishlist plant!
Been watching my local big box stores like a hawk, northeast seems to get everything last lol
Thank our cruddy weather for that. Spring has to come eventually. The snow has to stop some time, right? Right? :D
Got one today at Walmart
It’s a little beat up but I think it will comeback. It was the only one
So glad to hear she found a great home. Thanks for saving her!
I hope I find one!!! Haven't been lucky enough yet. I hate the soil that the trending tropicals comes in lol.
Mike: Sorry to hear you hate our potting mix. Our growers use a combination of coconut coir and shredded wood because this mix allows them to produce the highest-quality plants. (Plus, both are byproducts of other industries, so our potting mix works with our sustainability efforts.) In terms of Baltic Blue, keep an eye out for it --- we'll continue to ship fresh crops of it as a part of our Trending Tropicals collection throughout the year! And if you find you just can't wait any longer, you can buy it online and have it shipped directly to your home...
I got one at Lowes! Thanks for Hunting these! 🍃 It’s beautiful!
Thanks for giving her a great home, Cayla!
I almost bought one at Walmart last year tho it was from a place called angle farms or something like that but I decided to get my andansonii over the Baltic blue
I love this, so far it’s only been seen in Target here in Fayetteville NC, but unfortunately all of the plants in the costa farms display were extremely damaged, and most of them were just dead. I bought the only one that still had any green left in it as kind of a rescue attempt. So far the cuttings I was able to get are still alive. I just hated seeing so many plants with black leaves it was so sad. Target clearly isn’t the right retailer for live plants, every target in NC seems to be the same according to plant friends from other parts of the state.
Thanks for sharing! The collaboration with Target was just a test, and we learned a lot from it. Happily, Global Green Pothos is shipping as a part of the Trending Tropicals Collection, so you should have an opportunity to find it at any store that buys in Trending Tropicals (www.costafarms.com/retailers) so keep an eye out. We hope you're able to find a healthier one if you decide you want another. ---Justin, Costa Farms Horticulturist
@@CostaFarms I was able to get a nice healthy global green at lowes so no worries there! I hope I can find another because the remnants of the first one are not looking great😢 I hope they survive! It’s such a pretty plant!
Same here. Target Woodbridge, VA they left the plant to dry really sad.
I’m waiting also; I’ve been 👀…. No luck yet; norther Midwest…
Do they come with any yellowish variegation? I found some at my lowes with yellow streaks on some of the tips that looks similar to variegation on a golden pothos
Hi Sean! Yes --- because Global Green is a relatively unstable cultivar, it's not uncommon to see some white or cream variegation pop up here and there in the plants. ---Justin, Costa Farms Horticulturist
Hi! Great video. Can You tell me that's the difference between Baltic Blue and Pinnatum Blue Form? Thanks!
Hi Sara: I'm afraid we can't. We haven't found a verifiable source of the blue form yet, so we don't know what (if any) differences there are between that clone and this one. ---Justin, Costa Farms Horticulturist
I have an epipremnum pinnatum with a dark green bluish narrow leaves which is climbing but still with no fenestration and the other one with a little wider leaves with almost the same shade that is not climbing but still has fenestration 🤷
Just saw it in lowes it was the only one I fell in love saw it buried under other plants the lady in check out was trying to bribe me to get it off my hands lol nopeeeee lady
Glad to hear it was love at first sight, Courtney! We hope you continue to enjoy her for years to come. 💚
I really feel bad our big box stores here in Woodbridge,VA nor the Maryland area, don’t get the good plants that North Carolina, Kansas & other state get. We get a lot of bromiliads, ivy, palm trees. We don’t get Hoyas, Philadendron, agloenema etc, if ever one or two and I am a witness, they are opening 6 boxes of Costa plants in that 6 boxes there is only 2 Hoya Krimson princess. Hope you can drop something we can enjoy with. We love to get those rare plants. Thank you will look forward for it.
Hi Maria: Sorry to hear you've been having troubles finding the plants you're wanting. For the plants you mention, it's a matter of timing --- and whether we have any of those crops ready to go when your local store's order ships out. We hope the timing of future orders aligns better with the varieties you're looking for!
@@CostaFarms Thank you for taking the time reading my comment, actually I saw on UA-cam a lot of beautiful Costa farms plants at Lowe’s and makes me envy those beauty, probably the demand in our area is not that high. I will plant hunting in the south by the end of this month. I wish I find some of your Hoyas. I have Baltic blue and global green lot of new growth perfect. Continue growing nice and healthy plant. Be safe and thank you again.
@@mariapalustre1514: Sadly, we are not able to grow enough hoyas to meet the demand for them. And if it makes you feel better (which we know it probably doesn't!) a lot of people feel the same way you do. On any given day, we get a message from someone in, say, Wisconsin asking why Texas stores get all the good plants, and a message from someone in Texas asking why Wisconsin always gets better plants than them. It all depends on whether your stores order at the right time for the crops you want. We can't ship a plant variety if we don't have it ready at the time the store's order needs to ship. But thank you for your support, and good luck with the plant hunting. We hope you're able to find the Hoyas you're looking for soon!
@@CostaFarms I understand growing plant is not magic I just hope whatever plant your growing I can owe one. More power to Costa Farm.
Will they make their way to Phoenix? Sooo hoping so!
Yes! We will continue to ship them to stores that order our Trending Tropicals collection throughout 2022! Keep an eye out at your favorite retailer that buys our plants.
:-)
What are the min and max temps? I like to put my plants outside in spring and summer how much light? Mine is growing fast in North window, but I want to put it outside.
Hi Jessica! We recommend keeping this variety above 50F/10C. We've not run into a max temperature yet, but ideally, 95F/35C is probably a safe bet. For light, bright indirect/filtered light is best. Don't expose it to direct sun outdoors, especially in the afternoon hours. ---Justin, Costa Farms Horticulturist
Better to leave in darker area to get "blue" color? Will that be at a growth cost?
Yes
We recommend medium to bright light --- the brighter the spot (shielded from too much direct afternoon sun, of course), the better she'll do. We don't recommend keeping your Baltic Blue in a "dark" or low-light location. ---Justin, Costa Farms Horticulturist
I just bought one it’s beautiful but it has a couple holes on the leaves should I be concerned? Is there anything I can do?
Hi! Baltic Blue is supposed to fenestrate, so depending on the holes, it may be the plant's natural growth. It could also be physical damage, which can occur during shipping and other processes. Happily, this type of damage is rarely harmful to the plant and is more cosmetic in nature. If you would like help figuring it out, please drop us an email at Questions@CostaFarms.com with pics of your plant so we can take a look.
Where are the Zamioculcas Chameleon ?cant find it but I got some of your trending tropicals lately; baltic blue, treubii, global green with lot of cream variations and variegated lipstick plant.
Hi! We have not yet released (or officially announced!) Chameleon as the crops are still growing. Watch for an update as it's offered online and starts to ship to stores. Glad you were able to find some of our other plants, though! ---Justin, Costa Farms Horticulturist
When r u gonna ship them in canada 🇨🇦, I’m from Toronto can’t find them. 🌱💚💚
Hi Alonzo: Good news --- they have been shipping to Canada. Keep an eye out in the Trending Tropicals collection at your favorite local plant shop (www.costafarms.com/retailers)!
Can you send them to the Lowes in Arizona please?
We wish we could, Djc. But unfortunately, as a wholesale grower, we can only ship to the stores that order from us. If you can't find it Baltic Blue at one of your local retailers, you can buy it online (if you don't mind paying a bit extra for shipping/handling)...
Have any of these gone to North Carolina? I’ve searched and searched.
Yes they have, Kelly Jean! Keep an eye out at your favorite local plant shop (www.costafarms.com/retailers) as we'll continue to ship out new crops on Trending Tropicals orders.
I bought one today, Baltic blue. I hope it grows well. If anyone can help me? I was wondering does this plant need to be around a humidifier?? Ty
Hi Kevin! In "average" household conditions, it doesn't need additional humidity. But if you are in a particularly arid area, the plant would benefit from it. ---Justin, Costa Farms Horticulturist
@@CostaFarms Thanks, because I have dry heat in my apartment. It doesn't have much humidity at all. My golden angel plant is suffering. I thought that may be the problem! Thanks again. My wife buys a lot of your companies plants!💚
How are they fenestrating without climbing?
They should still put out some fenestrations, but the leaves will be larger and more dramatic if they climb.
Hello when will it reach Northern California
Hi Shalette! We ship out plants as retailers order them --- so keep an eye out for it at your favorite plant shops (www.costafarms.com/retailers) on their next order of Trending Tropicals!
Please sell to shops in Las Vegas! I never can find Costa Farms plants in such a large city, it's disappointing.
Good news, Raiinbowchu --- we do sell to stores in Nevada. If your favorite local plant shops don't stock our plants, have them reach out so we can connect them to our Sales team to see what we can do! In the meantime, we also ship to Las Vegas if you order our plants online through us or one of our retailer partners (www.costafarms.com/retailers)
@@CostaFarms Lovely, thank you for the response!
Why are Baltic blue so hard to find In Prosper Texas? I passed up one last month at Lowe's and haven't been able to find it again 👎😵💫
Hi Ellen: Because Baltic Blue is a new variety for us, we're just shipping out the first crops. But don't worry --- we'll continue to send out more on Trending Tropicals orders throughout 2022, so keep an eye out at your favorite local retailer each time they order in more Trending Tropicals! ---Justin, Costa Farms Horticulturist
@@CostaFarms thank you, I'm excited!💚👍
I found one,at Prosper Texas Walmart on January 20 the! Finally,there were a lot of nice plants from Costa farms but only this one Baltic Blue; it's gorgeous!!!💚.
$19.99 at my grocery store in Twin Cities.
Update: They sat there for so long- it was so sad- and they’re in a cold section and it was just so sad to see them there and they finally went half off but I had too many plants but after a couple of months of them being half off I finally gave in and bought one and brought it home a couple days ago. He’s sitting outside in the warm humid air and loving life finally
Is this plant native to Indonesia?
Hi! Yes, the species (Epipremnum pinnatum) this variety is selected from is native to areas of Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, Malaysia, The Philippines, etc.
While I do like the plant, calling it a pothos is not correct, pothos are Epipremnum aureum this is an epipremnum pinnatum
Here at Costa Farms, we apply the common name Pothos to most members of the genus Epipremnum, and to help clarify for those who don't agree, we print the botanical names on our tags.
This has got to be the worse video from coasta farms! He said everything over and over!
Thank you for your feedback, Sally. We'll work to do better in future videos.
