Is the melanochrysum still considered rare? I’ve been out of the houseplant loop for several months, really mainly since leaving Reddit and r/houseplants. I’ve acquired all plants on my wishlist but always loved the pics of the melanochrysum that others posted. I wanted one but didn’t think I would ever get my hands on one, so never considered it.
Then I started working at this garden center and they had them marked down at half off. First impulse buy in a while.
I would call it like a mid/low rareness, i feel like alot of the ones considered rarer like 1-2 years ago got tissue cultured/ grown out enough to sell now which bumped down their trophy status
Albos, vurracossum, as well as some Anthuriums which would have been a lot harder to find back then ive seen in some Nurserys/garden centers unexpectedly
I check in with plant youtubers/insta for trends tho now my tastes are a bit more specific
