    Since I am a visual learner, please consider posting the name of these easy to grow plants on the screen. Although I love to hear the Queen’s English, I don’t always understand the fine nuances of the spoken words. In addition, the names of plants themselves are not all that familiar to those who want to get started growing houseplants. Thanks for your desire to inform us plant lovers.

    One thing I would have liked to know before buying plants (and I am sure you mention in other videos): Some of these plants such as ZZ and snake plant are super slow growing! Like you can get a cutting of a pothos or monstera and watch it grow, but with a ZZ or a snake plant you got to basically buy it the size you want it (i expect my cute little snake plant will have the length of my hands in like five years or so.

    I had a ficus plant--a big one--in storage for almost three years. Just a standard elastica. Fully dark shipping container. (Life kicked our asses.) Eventually opened the container expecting it to be dead.
    The dude's leaves were pure white, soil obviously totally dry. We got it home, watered it and it grew back completely. Insanely hard to kill. It only eventually died when a litter of stray kittens used the pot as, well, litter... and we didn't realize until it was too late. They're incredibly resilient, though.
    Pilea mollis "Moon Valley" is also another one that's really striking/pretty but super, super easy to keep alive and propagate. They also flower constantly even indoors, although the flowers are more an enhancement than a defining feature.

    My easiest plants are Dracaena Lemon Lime. They are happy in anything from low light to direct sunlight, don't mind being moved around the house a lot, don't mind the draft of being in front of an open window even in freezing winter weather. Just don't let them go without water longer than 3-4 weeks and all is well 😊

      I discovered this plant about 3-4 years ago while browsing the plants at Lowe's, and I love it so much! Admittedly, mine is really rough looking because at some point during its youth, it became infested with ghost ants and in horror, I put it outside. It was raining that day, but the following day was bright Florida sunshine and almost all its leaves got burnt. 😭
      Since then, though, it's been growing like crazy! I kind of liked it when it was brighter green and bushy, but I'm thinking about chopping it at some point and seeing if I can get the main stem to branch out. I just...feel bad cutting it. 😅😂

    Aglomena, The pink version is fussy as heck. Mine died almost within a week, one leaf at a time. Re-potting, fertilizing, spring water didn't do anything. Tried both indirect and plenty of light and shade. N/A. Mantara looked great for about 2 weeks until it started to lose its silvery shine and some leaves closed permanently. Also re-potting, fertilizing etc .. it recovered for a while (it was rootbound) but now it's looking bad again.

  • @davidrocque1587
    @davidrocque1587 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    With my plants, I use a liquid fertilizer diluted to half the recommended strength in a constant feed program. I mix the solution 48 hours before using it. This lets the water get to room temperature and gives the chlorine (city water) time to evaporate out. I make 5 gallons at a time and use this every time I water. Watering from the top works better in this instance because you have less chance of getting salt buildup in the soil. If you constantly water & fertilize from the bottom, you should flush out the pot from the top a couple times a year.

  • @sazji

    I dunno, I like to think I can kill just about anything if I put my mind to it. 😀
    Mostly great suggestions though, as long as they don't get stuck in too dark a place. (Especially the jades, and the Monsteras, which tend to revert to small entire heart shaped leaves if they get insufficient light.)
    The only ones I'd question is the Echeveria and Pachyphytum...but mostly because of my location, where giving them enough light through the winter is well nigh impossible. In low light, they very quickly become etiolated and ugly.

    I've killed so many plants, but still haven't found a lot of really bulletproof ones. However, if you like the idea of vines growing on the walls and ceilings, forget about pothos; All the leaves will fall off of any low light areas, plus they don't cling very readily. I find that the creeping fig vine Ficus Pumula does a much better job, and you can grow it in low nutrient soil as well as water. It's practically unkillable. I've got it growing up multiple cabinets and running across the ceiling in fairly dark spots without loosing most of its leaves, though it does loose some. Humidity doesn't seem to be an issue either. The only real downside is, it's not terribly colorful or unique, either with leaves or flowers. There's a variegated one, but I haven't tried it.

    I've actually killed one of my ZZ plants. I'm in Victoria Australia and I don't get alot of sun in my home. I bought another one and replanted both. Made a nice light soil mix with perlite, horticultural charcoal and boring dirt. I've had problems knowing WHEN to water. Suggestions please?

    I would definitely add Draceana fragrans in this list. Sych a beautiful plant, with little care. Diffenbachias are extremely easy as well (if you give them LOTS of light). Ctenanthe burle marxii is lovely and easy compared to calatheas. I love philodendrons, but they are such thrip magnets, that it gets ridiculous.

    I bought a Chinese Evergreen in 2008, and I still have it!!! I did move a few years ago and didn’t have the best lighting at first and it started to suffer and I thought it would die. However, to my amazement, it began to rise from the ashes when I placed it outside in the summer in the shade!!! It does get some browning on the leaves every so often from sunburn, but it is still alive!!!

    I think it should be mentioned that you can still kill any of these plants with the right combination of problems, and that it's not always a reflection of your capabilities. My house is full of lush, green, thriving plants that are putting out growth all the time. But I have killed some of the plants in this list because I tend to be fussy. I can't keep an echeveria alive, period, and I've also killed my pickle plant. Yet my peace lilies bloom every year and my snake plant just put out two enormous leaves in three months. Finding the right plants for YOU matters!

    I don’t like the Monstera either because of the holes and the leaf shape overall doesn’t look nice to me. Maybe the fact that my parent had to fake Monstera leaves on the wall that I hated influenced that too :D
