Plant wishlist
This page contains the Marantaceae varieties that I would still like to add to my collection.
The current list is only a temporary draft. The candidates below will be replaced as soon as I decide which leafy temptation deserves the remaining fragments of available space.
Currently tempting me
She is absolutely gorgeous, and I already paid a small fortune for her once. She seemed perfectly happy in my Belgian tropics for two whole months—then suddenly chose extreme drama and died within a week. Apparently, I am willing to risk both my money and my feelings again.
Wild by name, wild by beauty and completely wild in price. She belongs in my collection—I simply need to work a few extra jobs, cancel all unnecessary expenses and possibly stop eating.
I am not even sure whether this beauty is actually for sale anywhere. I have never seen one available, which makes finding her slightly more complicated than usual. But this is a wishlist, not a realism list. I can still dream, right?
She is beautiful as hell—and almost as expensive as she is beautiful. Unfortunately, my current Calathea lutea is already working hard to become a three-meter indoor tree, so buying the variegated version may be less of a wishlist item and more of a serious housing decision.
Have you seen one?
If you know a reliable European seller offering one of these varieties, you are welcome to send me the link. I am especially interested in healthy, correctly identified plants rather than heroic rescue projects.
