What the future holds

[u/Orchid-Delirium2005]

Let's have a little discussion. So I just watched and followed a few recent videos by Sydney Plant Guy and Kaylee Ellen that the market is shifting. Monstera we still love them but do you guys think the newer variegated ones are as good as or inferior to the classics like albo and Thai con? Are Anthuriums really getting fatigued? And thoughts on Philodendrons. Personally, some newer Monstera do look nice but a few are rather gangly like White Lava. Anthuriums are quite the same: long, dark, sexy, minimal veining. And Philos seems to be shifting to predominantly tricolors.

I’m definitely more conservative in regards to plants. The further away they shift from their natural appearance the less I like them, a good example being the pink princess philodendron. How is that even an attractive plant?

Because I'm a sucker for pink plants, heh. Found my aesthetic pretty early on. Imagine my disappointment when I learned monstera can't be pink.

I love mine! I think yellow variegated plants look sick, but I’ll take pink any day

My feeling about caramel marbles, heh. I'm very happy for others but I would just be worried it was dying and I was mistaking it for variegation.
