Mr VariegatedI finally found one last week after searching for 4 years. These seem to be very hard to get a hold of no matter where you live. Search Musa here in posts and you’ll see my post.

Wolfen 🐺You can find them on Etsy. Just check reviews, not just the 5 star rating, as the scammers will sell something cheap like seeds, get a bunch of 5 star, then "sell" scam plants with long delivery times fir cheap . I got 2 pinks and a white from thailand and Indonesia. Not all of the non-us are scams, but keep in mind shipping, closer countries are obviously going to be better.

The GreenEscape on Etsy will have white Florida or pink occasionally they are in Florida.

Something like that goes for 150-200 IF you can find one. I’ve never ordered online but was very tempted this spring. Most of the plants I purchased recently are a fraction of the cost online from overseas. Very tempting. I may give it a shot when the weather gets nicer.

The pinks and Florida The Green Escape had for $80-120 depending on size. I'll take an updated pic of these their coloration is way better, especially on the pink. But they came as TC, so extremely cheap in comparison to acclimated plants, even smalls. They're $25 now from Thailand(this is a companyive purchased from) . You could make a killing buying and acclimating then selling if they are so rare and expensive up there

Here's them now...... ignore the two light burns and slight yellowing 😆. I had been ignoring them, and the roots were all over!! And the Florida white had grown tall enough to touch the grow light, so got 2 scorch marks.

Damn. Very nice. I get mine this weekend. It’s much smaller. I splurged and grabbed a Variegated Plumeria and another Big Ben too. Will show them off when I get them.

I will also say, I try to always pay with PayPal on Etsy, especially unknown sellers. Etsy is unbelievably unhelpful if ypu get scammed. Which i have on there twice. But PayPal has returned my money both times. Really any possibly 'to good to be true' pricing I always use PayPal 😆

They just have so many scams going. I had thought a 5 star seller should be a no brainer. But then saw after that their reviews weren't even for plants. And one of them would respond in random single words. And apparently that is enough to have Etsy give then a "Top Seller" rating 🤔 🙄🤬 so I always check, what the reviews are for, are they recent and actual plants, are they similar quality plants... like not just pothos or something cheap, do the amount of reviews semi equal the amount of sales (not everyone leaves reviews, but it shouldnt be 1567 sales and 10 reviews, and how long is the shipping time. The shipping time is strange to say, but what they do is put it over 30-90 days usually. And 30 days is often a cut off limit for refund times.

They aren't always easy to spot, especially if they just started and don't have much sales racked up. And the reviews aren't always fake. The prices offered by overseas are Always cheaper, often because they have labs/greenhouse or the plant originates from there. I mean just the plants above most people buy them from US based companies for $100+ and i bought mine direct from Thailand and Indonesia for a quarter of that. You just have to be aware the scans are out there, and protect yourself with something like paypal incase it happens. I see so many people naysay out of country sellers. But it's like people who shop on Amazon for stuff that comes from China, instead of just buying direct for less than half the price from Temu 😆. Cut out the middle man.
