Is this real?
I'm looking to reach 100 plants, but at this point, I only want to accept unique plants into my oasis. A pink monstera is awfully unique, but I've been fooled before.
I bought a blue orchid, not realizing it was dyed.

Check out Bredren Orchids, I received really healthy plants from them and their prices were good relative to other orchid sellers.
Maxillaria Tenuifolia is a nice one that looks very fluffy/frond-y, its blooms smell like coconut, and it’s a thirsty plant that is tough to overwater but also has pseudobulbs to sustain it when you forget to water it.
Dendrobium lindleyi has been in the back of my mind for a while (though bredren is out of stock). Another Dendrobium with tall canes (like Dendrobium secundum) may not necessarily be the prettiest plant out of bloom, but it is for sure unique/interesting and very hardy (this one needs a cool, dry spell of neglect to flower).

Neofinetia/vanda Falcata is also a good one with interesting flowers. Hausermann has some cheap ($10-15) little copotted ones that I got on impulse (about 60% of them were dead/had dead roots and the 3 that survived one has bloomed but the fragrance had a strange note to it)… so for a healthy falcata in great shape I would recommend Helen’s Orchid House on etsy (some are expensive but some are <= $35), her plants are always in amazing health
Given the seller's name on that Etsy posting, I am super skeptical. Doesn't look like a plant seller...I found some unique plants on Etsy this weekend and realized that ALL images appeared to be AI. I decided run!
