An opening statement that promises the viewer access to exclusive or little-known information, establishing the creator as a knowledgeable curator and creating a curiosity gap.

Payoff

The payoff is delivered incrementally with each item revealed, culminating in a completed list that fulfills the hook's promise of sharing curated knowledge. There is no single, final payoff beat.

Transcript

Tier are my five favorite houseplants you've probably never heard of. The Queensland bottle tree. It has whimsical features from its bulbous trunk to its unique leaf shape and helps make any space feel taller. Philodendron gloriosum. This plant has large velvety leaves that are primarily green with ivory colored veins. It adds a nice pop of color to your home. Philodendron tortum. The leaves have a feathery fern like shape with a beautiful glossy dark green hue. Their unique sculptural look makes them a great addition to any home. Philodendron Brazil. The heart shaped leaves grow in red and develop into a two tone green over time. They're great for shells where we can drape them down for a trailing look. Queen marble pothos. These have a unique eye catching marbling that varies heavily from plant to plant. The green and white hues look great in any space.
