What’s like the best rare plant to have in my collection? The only plant I would consider rare in my collection is my variegated elephant ear and my pink princess philodendron. :)

I would say a monstera Albo, iconic and very rewarding once you get inner Fenestrations

Yw, I don't have one yet but I wanna get one so bad T-T

I don’t think there’s a best rare plant, each plant person has their own “best” plant, but I really love my Calatheas and ZZ plant.

Real I currently have 102 plants most of them are not very rare lol but my favorite is patricia philodendron :)

#### Lynda antwortete am 2025-09-04

I’ve never heard of a Patricia Philo. Might you send me a picture of yours so I can see it? TIA!

#### Jasneedshelp antwortete am 2025-09-04

Zzs get that big???

#### Gaileen Joy antwortete am 2025-09-04

I hadn’t heard of that plant either. But I googled it. Very interesting indeed. Too bad I’m on a self-imposed plant-buying moratorium. LOL!

I have 3 “less common” plants that I love: tiny dancer alocasia, blue oil fern, and calathea musaica. So far the easiest of the 3 is the blue oil fern.

### The leafy Angel kommentierte am 2025-09-04

I would say top of my wish list for rare is an Alocasia Venom

### Kat kommentierte am 2025-09-04

The rarest houseplant right now is the Spiritus Sancti Philodendron! It’s very very very hard to get your hands on this plant. I finally got a tissue culture of it and it will be here today! A 6” pot of the SSP runs about $350

### Waspinator kommentierte am 2025-09-04

In terms of resale value, new and rare variegated types. In terms of things for your collection, whatever you like. Personally I'm fond of unusual species, recently orchids. Also there are a ton of fancy african violets that i think deserve some attention

### Sylvia kommentierte am 2025-09-05

Pink philodendron’s are rare? I have one I didn’t know that. I’ve just repotted her because she started getting droopy and was told her pot was too big so now she’s in a smaller pot, I’m also considering getting a self watering container for her
