COLLECTING WITHOUT THE GUESSWORK

Rare Is Not a Care Requirement

A collector plant still needs to be treated like the individual plant it is.

Rarity can come from limited production, difficult sourcing, slow propagation, unusual characteristics or high demand. None of that automatically tells you how difficult the plant is to grow.

01 RARITY

A plant may be collectable because it is difficult to source, produced in small numbers, slow to propagate or particularly sought after.

02 CARE

Check the needs of the individual plant rather than assuming every rare houseplant needs complicated care.

03 VARIEGATION

Variegation can vary naturally between individual plants, so check the photographs and product information for the plant or batch being offered.

04 AVAILABILITY

Collector stock can change quickly depending on growers, supply, demand and how many plants are available at the time.

RARE TODAY. EASIER TO FIND TOMORROW.

Rarity Can Change

A plant that is difficult to find today can become much more available as growers produce larger numbers. Buy the plant because you genuinely want it, not just because the label says rare.

A Few Things You Might Want to Know

What Makes a Houseplant Rare or Collectable? +

A houseplant may be considered rare or collectable because it is difficult to source, produced in limited numbers, slow to propagate, particularly sought after or has an unusual cultivar, colour or growth characteristic.

Can a Rare Plant Stop Being Rare? +

Yes.

Rarity can change over time. A plant that was once extremely difficult to find can become much more widely available as growers produce greater numbers.

What Rare Houseplants Do You Sell? +

The collection changes regularly but can include rare Monstera, Philodendron, Alocasia, variegated plants, unusual cultivars and other harder to find tropical houseplants.

Are Rare Houseplants Harder to Care For? +

Not necessarily.

A plant being rare does not automatically make it difficult to grow.

Some collector varieties have straightforward requirements, while others can be more particular about light, humidity, watering or temperature.

Do You Sell Rare and Variegated Houseplants? +

Yes, when they are available.

Collector stock can include variegated varieties alongside plants with unusual colours, textures, leaf shapes and growth habits.

Does Variegation Look the Same on Every Plant? +

No.

Variegation can vary naturally between individual plants.

Always check the photographs and product information for the particular plant or batch you are buying.

Why Does Rare Plant Stock Change So Quickly? +

Availability can change quickly depending on growers, supply, demand and how many plants are available.

Some collector varieties may only arrive in very small numbers.

Can You Source a Rare Plant That Is Not in Stock? +

Absolutely.

If there is a specific collector plant you have been hunting for, our Plant Genie gives you another way to find it.

Tell us the exact plant or variety and we can see whether it can be sourced through our growers and suppliers.

What if I Want a Younger Rare Plant? +

Explore Premium Props for rare propagations, rooted cuttings and younger collector plants when they are available.

Can I Order Rare Houseplants for UK Delivery? +

Yes. Many rare and collector houseplants can be ordered online for delivery across the UK, subject to the delivery options shown on the individual product.

Extra care is taken when preparing more delicate or unusual specimens for transport.
