This past weekend, vendor abtropics hosted a lively Whatnot live show featuring an assortment of plants and garden items, with prices starting at just $1. In one notable transaction, the rare Alocasia ‘Flying Squid’ #2 found a new home with danif24 after being sold for $10. This distinctive plant boasts striking, almost iridescent foliage that’s sure to captivate any shade-loving enthusiast.
While it’s unclear what sparked the plant’s sale, it’s evident that some live audience members were engaged in the chat – one enthusiastic viewer even revealed their own plant envy, expressing impatience for their black and white Alocasia to bloom. Meanwhile, others were good-humored about the vendor’s occasional missteps, like when they jokingly mentioned “enchanted gold” rather than “enchanted earth”.
Given the excitement surrounding this transaction, it’s no surprise that the sold price of $10 attracted only a single bidder. Nonetheless, we’re thrilled to see such a unique collector’s piece changing hands on Whatnot, and we can’t wait to see what other hidden gems surface in future live shows.
