What plants are still on your wishlist this year? I keep almost buying a Thai constellation monstera, then I remember how many plants have dropped in price after tissue culture caught up. I also want to try more hoyas, maybe a silver splashy one, and I have been looking at anthuriums even though my humidity is not exactly greenhouse behavior. I am curious what people are actually hunting now. Rare plants, common plants, cuttings, local swaps, anything.
I am buying for leaf shape and growth habit now, not rarity. If I still like the plant after seeing it every week for two months, then it stays on the list.
I am waiting on Thai constellations. They keep getting easier to find. My 2026 rule is that if the plant is trending hard, I wait unless the exact specimen is amazing.
Aglaonemas are on my list. Not rare in the dramatic sense, but the leaf patterns are beautiful and they fit my home better than fussy anthuriums.
I want more hoyas from local rooted cuttings. Shipping unrooted cuttings in weird weather has been too hit or miss for me.
My wishlist is still basic: marble queen pothos, a healthy peperomia, and maybe a small hoya. I am trying not to skip the easy plants just because collectors online moved on.
Set a price you are comfortable losing. Plants die, sellers mislabel things, and some variegation is unstable. If losing that amount would make you bitter, wait.
I want a plant that grows instead of sulks. That is my entire wishlist category now.
