    ! PLANT NAMES ! in order (right to left):
    -ZZ Plant: This plant will do well in low light*, day light** (luminous enough for you to read a book without turning on light), office/artificial lighting, bright light*** (luminous enough for you to shave or put on makeup without turning on light), or even filtered sun*** (shaded or passing through a curtain).
    -Variegated Ripple Peperomia (not sure what variety): This plant needs bright light***, filtered sun****, and direct sunlight***** indoors
    -Arrowhead Philodendron: This plant needs bright light*** or filtered sun****.
    -Sansevieria/Snake plant (Not sure the specific variety, aerial view makes it look like the birds nest variety): This plant will do well in low light*, day light**, office/artificial lighting, or bright light***. (ANY KIND OF LIGHT BUT DIRECT SUN, it will fry in the sun)
    -Jade Pothos (or another variety of Pothos): This plant needs day light** at least, bright light***, or filtered sun****.
    -Variegated Arrowhead Philodendron: This plant needs bright light*** or filtered sun****.
    *Low light - (office lighting with no sun or anything that falls lower than day light)
    **Day light - (luminous enough for you to read a book without turning on light)
    ***Bright Light - (luminous enough for you to shave or put on makeup without turning on light)
    ****Filtered Sun - (sunlight that is shaded or passing through a curtain)
    ***** Full Sun - (exactly what it sounds like, full blasting sun that is not filtered)

    0:10 Peperomia: Extremely slow growing medium to high light
    0: 11 Satin pothos: Medium to high light
    0:16 Pothos: SUPER EASY. Low to high light. Can grow in water.
    0:51 Chinese evergreen aglaonema: low to medium light. Avoid sunlight.
    0:58 Snake plant: Low light is ok but high light is better.
    1:35 Arrowhead: Not recommended for beginners. It doesn't like being relocated; drops leaves fast. Likes high humidity, root rots if kept moist too long.
    3:09 ZZ plant. Slow growing. Likes 2-4 weeks of dry soil per month. Avoid keeping it wet. Low to high light. Get this plant.
    MOST PLANTS DO NOT LIKE SWAMP-Y SOIL. HAVE PROPER DRAINAGE.

      I'll be more than happy to explain. However just so you understand the reasoning for this I'll explain in the simplest way possible. A plant's life source are the roots, it uses them to uptake water and nutrients from the soil or any medium which you're growing in. Basically the roots can only absorb X amount of water before they resort to drawing the water and nutrients to fill themselves up. However we can't feel the roots so we go by the leaves to make sure the plant is healthy and if the leaves are telling you it doesn't need water, why water? It's the equivalent of us drinking water, we drink a certain amount only when we need it due to fatigue or exhaustion or being tired. I know it's not too specific but as an example to water succulents we usually feel the older mature leaves and if they're thick, plump, and firm leave it alone (doesn't matter if its been months). On the other side if the older leaves are thin and wrinkly then it is safe to assume you can water. Also wanted to mention if you're in doubt as a beginner its best not to water since you can always add water later and worst case scenario lose a leaf or two as opposed to risking overwatering and leading yourself to root rot.

    plant mom tip: every now and then, poke aeration holes in the soil around the plant with a chopstick- this helps the soil from getting too stuck together, and will make sure water goes all the way to the plant's roots.

    • @gustavoorozco4806
      @gustavoorozco4806 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Only problem is that doesn't help when ur soil has no aeration amenities (lack of perlite or any non-porous minerals/rocks) much because your roots will start to rot and you may damage them if you're not careful or intuitively understand the function of the roots.

    HEY @WallStreetJournal @WSJ how about you bring someone on who knows these plants and how to take care of them, not just what looks pretty. If the roots absorb the water and nutrients from the soil, why are you going based off the soil and not the roots?? For those about to spam a comment saying "well it has to be completely dry" or something like that its all in the leaves. Feel the difference in between when your plants need water and when they're firm and full of body, thats the only way to gauge, cleaner than touching soil on an office desk too.

    Did you know:
    Genghis Khan was the direct registered bloodline descendant of Edward III, King of Britain, of Roman Gucci ancestry?
    Genghis Khan was the son of Kublai Khan. Khulan was the wife of Genghis Khan. Kuan Yin was the daughter of Genghis and Khulan. Oghedi Khan, son of Genghis, inherited the throne of the newly founded Mongolia.
    The career of Mongke Khagan was mistaken for that of Kuan Yin's husband, Marco Polo.
    All of this took place in the 15th century.
