    This is a really fun series. Length is about right but I would certainly watch longer videos. Appreciate the time and research you have done. Would like to see an index on calatheas/marantas. Or sansevieria. Actually, you could probably do an index on rare algae and I would certainly watch it. Thanks for great info!

    Can you believe that 2 weeks ago I found a beautiful Alocasia odora variegata and the seller had no clue it was a rare plant? She was just selling it as a Caladium. Well, it's beautiful in my balcony now, and I JUST found out she's putting off a new leaf. Yeah!

    I LOVE what you’re doing with this “rare index” series. I watched the video and got all excited and then I watched it again and paused at many of the plants so I could try to find them. The graphic leaves with contrasting veins drive me crazy (in a good way). I’ve got to get them some how some way! Please make the videos as long as necessary because I am drinking them in. I can hardly wait for the calathia version, I’ll be over the moon. Thanks a million for all of the time and research you are investing for these videos. I’m so tickled that I found your channel.

I have Cuprea and Zebrina, and yes I definitely can see Cuprea growing on some other planet in background of xenomorphs. Stunning and actually easy plant, she forgives me some neglecting with no hard feelings.

      @@blehmeh2566 no direct sunlight. Not near heater or draft. Keep temp of your room at 69-75F. Have a moisture thermometer that always reads level 2-3. When watering, make sure the water drains well. Let the plant become severely root bound before reporting. When repotting, don’t repot in a drastically bigger pot. Also, soil. Soil for a frydeck is super important. One part coco coir, dash of worm castings, dash of bonsai pebbles. And humidity! Have your humidifier close by, but not on top of your frydeck. Take my advice seriously, because I have 6 different Alocasias and they are thriving.

    I love Alocasia also! I actually have a Black Velvet, a Polly, a Regal Shield and a Silver Dragon. I just love them. Thank you so much for your video!

    Found your channel through jenna and i am absolutely amazed!
    Your style is so elegant and i really love your plant collection.
    And i really love that your videos are longer, keep going?

    I would love to see these longer, if you think you could reasonably do that and still enjoy it.
    I think a rare index video for the "most common houseplants", like for pothos and snake plants, would also be great! Thank you for making these!

    The Alocasia pink dragon and Alocasia frydek had been on my wishlist for a while and this video made me buy them, no regrets at all
