I called a popular plant TH-camr out on talking smack about the younger plant people on TH-cam not being experts and how they shouldn’t make videos. He responded with four paragraphs bragging about all these irrelevant accolades about how god said women need to shut up and not presume to tell men what to do. It was the craziest thing I ever did see! Clearly a fragile little ego on that one. I look forward to you passing his subs. 😎 Just call me Petty LaBelle.
WOW! I almost cannot believe that! I don't watch many people on youtube so I have absolutely no idea of who it could be, but just wow. People can be so hateful. OMG I love you hahahahaha
Could you maybe talk about plants during the winter? Like what plants go dormant during the cold, what to do with them, how to know how to care for them, if you can propagate them, etc.
Yes definitely! I have been working on a dormancy video for caladium & oxalis, it has just been such a process! I wanted to have the plants going through the process to show, which is a several months long thing.
Totally agree with you. People need to understand that having plants is all about trial and error. What works for you may not work for everyone. ie. I water my plants less often but with a large quantity, others might water more often with less water. Its what works for you and your conditions that make plants thrive.
It's definitely trial and error. Somehow, I can keep a fiddle leaf fig going, but can't manage a spider plant for the life of me. so in addition to low/high light situations in one's home, people have to remember our care patterns can greatly affect our plants as well!
i don’t know why you guys would be hating so much, everyone goes through a trial and error. everyone lives in different areas. youtube is entertainment, not the news channel. 💚🌱
I dont understand why anyone would hate period we are all human. Harli I love the variegated monstera .I just started rebuilding my plant collection due to a house fire I lost my plants house the car and our beloved fur baby. When you hear the hate just shrug it off.life could be some much worse.plus your amazing!!
Harli do your thing and never worry about the haters, they hate themselves. No one knows everything, and that is why we all watch you and others videos, because we don’t know it all. At least you have something to share with us. Resist the devils and they will flee. Be encouraged!
Harli wading into the treacherous waters of lighting controversy again.. You go girl! 😂👍 One variety I always tell people is NOT a low light plant is a Marble Queen Pothos. You can keep it in low light. If you do you'll keep it alive but it will hate you and look sad. Now depending on the type of watermelon Pellionia you have the lighting is different. I find the trailing variety (repens) does better in brighter indirect light as opposed to Pellionia pulchra which can go to almost partial shade. Now if you're light challenge in your cave two plants that should definitely be on your list are Pilea involucrata (Friendship Pilea) and Pilea cadierei (Aluminum Plant) They're like plant vampires and almost hate light! 😆 Well, in the words of Forrest Gump, "and that's all I'm going to say about that" 😁💕🌱
In general, people shouldn't keep variegated plants in a low light environment. Variegation is caused by the lack of clorophyll units which lowers the efficiency of photosynthesis. So when the plant is starved of light, they would adapt to produce more clorophyll and loses their variegation. There is no way to tell if variegation loss is permanent or not. On the other hand, plants containing other color pigments (red, yellow, orange, blue) are more efficient at light harvesting as they also capture green lights which are transparent to clorophyll. They would make really good houseplants by thriving on artificial lights. For example: rubber plant, black ZZ.
@Peter Cardona you need to make some videos dude. You have a lot of knowledge, and you seem to have a good personality, based on your comments. I bet you would be really good at it. I mean this only as encouragement, and for selfish reasons bc I want to watch those videos. Anyway, I'll be looking for your comments until then.
Thank you for all the videos you make! Please don’t get discouraged if there are people getting all high and mighty, you’re doing an amazing job and I appreciate you sharing your experience as a plant mom!
Oh my Harli, some people are too sensitive, owning plants is and always will be trial and error, we are all learning from each other, I'm just enjoying your channel so much, and I do agree on some of the varigated varieties, they can go duller, it just depends on where they are placed, once again trial and error. I live in southern Idaho and it of course is super cold in the winter, and hot and dry in the summer, so growing plants indoors is always different. Have a great day and keep smiling you are doing a super job!
Shame on anyone who yelled at you I find what you're saying helpful/ relaxing and actually decided today if I want to hear anything about plants I'll listen to you 1st
Hi Harli!😊 I think sometimes people may think that low light actually means almost no light. That could be a problem. There are also so many variables in plants , locations and how their person takes care of them. This is a great video! Very helpful, but as you mentioned people need to do their own research too. I love your videos! 💕
Hi Harli🏵️ nevermind the haters, I love your down to earth attitude and love of houseplants! It's what drew me to subscribe. Trial and error is what it's all about,I don't watch thinking you know everything,I watch because I get a nice feeling that we are doing this together!(except you have a bigger budget!) I give you a big thumbs up!👍😘
Hi Harli, I watched, 👍, and as always enjoyed this vid last night. Because you are encouraging,engaging,informative,verrrry funny and fun to watch,never patronising always gorgeous. Just an all round great girl.Keep it coming and never let the haters get to you. I LOVE being able to share your plant adventures from half way across the planet. Plant on Sister 😀🌺TIsh
Anyone who gives you hate is jealous of you...you're pretty, smart, and you have kick ass plants!!! Never stop making videos you have taught me so freaking much and thanks to you I have a pretty awesome collection only 50 plants but damn it it's growing!
How can people hate other people for speaking out their opinion on their own channel? That is plain rude. You are doing all good! I totally agree with you on zz, pothos, and calatheas. Not tried the others. Never had a great luck with spider plants somehow! You go girl!
If people live in a building that has limited access to direct sunlight, they can still invest in artificial light. And no, I'm not talking about the fancy grow lights. Before grow lights are advertised as such, urban/indoor farmers have learned that certain commercial lights, which meet certain requirements, can supply sufficient light diet to their plants. What to look for: 1. Color Temperature 5000-6500K: it corresponds to the range of wavelength that plants can absorb and convert to energy and 2. Intensity at least 1600+ lux (or to some extend lumens): compared to natural daylight at 10,000 - 25,000 lux, this intensity is appropriately classified as "low" light for plants to thrive but it's as bright as a floodlight bulb to human eyes. So how to increase the intensity without burning your eyes? Bring the plants as close to your light source as possible. To sum up in a layman's terms: Buy quality, high-intensity light bulbs labeled 5000+ K, 1600+ lumens (preferably CFL or LED to save energy) or Invest in a grow light setup.
Thumbs up girl! Dont worry about what people say, theres no way care for a plant is exactly the same in everyone's house. That's why plants r so complicated (a wonderful adventure u never know what will happen!) Lol :) dont be sad. I love your videos!
Harli, I just got to find your channel and have been watching your videos ever since. I watched your previous video and also this one about 'low-light houseplants', and I just wanted to let you know that I do really enjoy watching your videos, and I totally agree with you that we all are learning by taking care my own plants, doing own researches for the plants, but also learning from some of others' (like you) experiences and the tips. You are videos are fun, informative, but most of all, you are adorable to watch! So keep the good work, keep sharing us your experiences :) :) xx
I enjoy your videos! People don’t realize that every house is different, and every plant has to adjust to its environment. It’s all a gamble. Some of the people I follow are in Southern California, and some are in the Midwest. I personally cannot keep a crown of thorns alive no matter what I try, but I do well with most everything else. So ignore the haters and please keep whatever you do going!
I really admire the passion you have for your hobby Harli. And who cares about the "haters", you do the best you can and we all live and we learn. Thank you for your very informative videos!!!
Your my friend that I never met so I think no matter what your recommendation is, I agree. Lol I look forward to your videos and I am learning with you which makes this sooo fun! Have a great night and keep the videos coming!
Another thing about peace lily: they do well on low lights but if you want them to produce flowers more often, you have to put them in a medium indirect light. If you keep them in a low light area, they may never bloom. Another thing is if you keep them root bound, it can put it’s energy into flowering.
Harli, you do fine for me and you’ve stated before that you are not an expert. I’m glad you tell us your experiences because it’s REAL stuff. Thank you, and ignore the haters!
Debi Hediger thank you so much Debi. I genuinely appreciate having you here on my videos! It can be brutal on here sometimes, but mostly everyone in the plant community is KIND!
Ever since I subscribed to you, Harli, I have never seen you with makeup. This is my first time seeing you with makeup; you are beautiful, either way, tbh; but your natural beauty is much better. Thank-you, foe sharing all this information; has been very helpful, to me.
I just love your videos! You’re fearless enough to continue to post your plant adventures and experiences despite the Negative Nelly’s... I look forward to them always! #KeepOnKeepingOn 🤙🏻🌱🙂
Rhonda Lynn thank you so much Rhonda! I love hanging out with plant peeps here on the YTube it is just so much fun. There are definitely more nice people here, than rude. I genuinely appreciate all you nice folks ❤️
Thank you for suggestions! My home only has low light everywhere. Also, as a plant newbie, I was given a ZZ and didn't know they can survive in lower light. I gave it prime real estate in the brightest (still low light) window I have and it grew to 3 ft tall and split the pot it was in. ZZ seems so versatile, It appears to like low light but takes off in brighter light.
I like this list and I totally agree with what you said about it just depending on so many factors. I’ve learned so much about what plants do better in my home over time. Love your videos 💕
Beautiful as always Harli! Great video and do think too hard about the people contradicting you. I listen and do my research and watch videos. I learn so much from you and your Mom Stef. Hope you continue to make videos!!!
You are so nice Lisa. Thank you! I definitely plan to keep with the videos. Like 95% of people here are always SO NICE. This is the best place to bond with plant people & my plants on a regular basis. (:
I’m from Utah too! And I’ve got 64 house plants. Unfortunately our dry air really screws me over with these tropical plants some times. My I’ve tried to grow a parlor palm twice and they randomly turn off-color and crisp up. I don’t know how to love them.
Chase Ward humidifier. Essential oil diffuser without essential oils. Maybe keep the diffuser and palm closer to each other. I’m not much of a palm person but I remember my mom would always mist her palms.
People should be nice and understanding that what works best for one person is not going to work for everyone. It’s all about sharing your experience or knowledge.. Every place has different weather, temperatures, water types. Everything we all do is trial and error at times. We are here to help each other and share some tips and tricks. I don’t feel people should be so judgmental . I think if they don’t like any TH-camrs contents there are plenty more to watch. Oh yes, Harli. Your doing awesome, thank you for sharing.❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
I'm kinda new to the planting world, both indoors and out. Being newly retired, I've had time to dedicate to my interests. It would seem to me that a heart for growing things should be celebrated with with suggestions rather than ridicule. Years of wisdom should be passed down appropriately. That being said... I truly enjoy your videos.
@@erin4707 , They can survive in low light but won’t grow and will risk rotting if watered too often. If it’s too dark It’s better just get a plastic plant LOL,
Not sure why people would hate on you about the Peace Lily. They are so happy in my very low light home, and I've even had to repot it because the root system was growing out of control.
More lower light plants include, the Dracaena 'janet craig, heart-leaf philodendron, Dracaena marginata, gasterias, various different ferns, & anthuriums. Obviously as you mentioned, some plants will do better in brighter condiitons, but these will tolerate low lights.
Love your videos and I agree with your low light options. I love Jewel orchids and have one of the ones you have. I love to root the long stems in water and they often bloom there - oh so pretty. I keep mine in a morning sun window but whatever works is fine with me. Thanks for all the effort you take and your editing!
Carol Smith thank you so much Carol! I have not had mine bloom before, but maybe one day I will have a big enough piece to root in water & maybe I’ll get to see them!
Good video Harli! Very good comments here, too. Your variegated monstera slays me! OMG! I love that plant!!! Your dog in this video??? Not so much. Lol 🌱💜
You’re so funny! People should just chill out about this stuff. Obviously you’re just going by what works for you & if they disagree there’s a way to state it nicely! Love your recommendations & some of these are on my list for sure. My house gets a lot of light but not a lot of DIRECT light, so I’m always scoping out new low light plants. 💚
Right, there’s a way to do it politely & respectfully. Everyone needs to remember that we’re all just normal people on the other side of this computer screen. Don’t let the haters worry you! My favorite thing about your videos is that it’s like hanging with a friend & chatting about plants. I love how relaxed it is & appreciate that you’re still learning too!
It amazes me how you can keep so many plants alive! Totally jealous. In the past year, I have killed so many plants - due to trial and MAJOR ERROR! lol. I love your videos though, they keep me motivated!
McKenzie Shannon thank you! I definitely struggled at the beginning of my plant obsession, but I learned that for the most part... plants want to live so a little neglect is okay!
Don't worry about the dislikes harli.. I love your passion for plants, as I love them too... that's why people connect to you... keep it going... I love your videos :-)
They’re just drinking on the Hater-ade Har, and they’re just jealous of your knowledge and awesome green thumb coolness. Let them be mad, and you’re right when it comes to different zones and light exposures. Keep doing your thing, you’re my favorite plant chic on TH-cam besides a few others including your Mama dukes. Eventually when I start my channel I’ll let everyone see my plant hoarding obsession/addiction and share my love for all things green.
Harli G just nervous to share my gorgeous face and my obsession might be overwhelming to some that don’t “get it”. Also by the way I lost our bet for no buy. I bought a Philadendron gloriosum cutting, 2 pothos n joy (Lowe’s of all places had some) a new Calathea with pink stripes which I just HAD to have, 3 coral aloes, and ummm we bought our Christmas Tree from the local fire department which is considered a plant, so...yeahhhh.
Its trial and error... what may works for you, may not work for me!, And I say this because I used to have my fittonias (white and red) in indirect east facing light in my living room and usually dry air, only in winter we use humidifier and they both didn’t grow at all , until I decided to put them in the bathroom with NO windows, no lights other than when someone is in it, but everyday humidity from 4 people taking showers and they are doing great, growing like bushes!🌱🌱 I discover this by accident when I wanted to give them more humidity for a couple of days and they started to grow within the week... and yeah a couple of day means I got busy and didn’t take them out for the week, I figured they are ok tomorrow will do it!🌿
I guess it wasn't really hate, people can just be so rude when they disagree! I understand not everyone agrees, I just wish people would state so respectfully & not in a demeaning way! Thank you for watching (:
@@HarliG No, you are correct. If it wasn't constructive with the intent of helping you, then it was hate. You're stronger than you think. This video was a good response to those people.
I absolutely love your videos. I’ve been binge watching after work for a week. I ordered plants from your website today I can’t find a video where you talk about your shop):
Woot! Huge Utah houseplant fan here too!!! Its been a struggle this year because we have hd no humidity in like 2 months! Do you use a humidifier at all?
What?! I love your first video on this 😅 nevertheless I cannot get enough of low-light houseplant Videos as I basically don’t have sun in northern Germany.... ever 🤷🏻♀️😂
Oh no that gorgeous calathea makoyana definitely needs more humidity! The crispy edges are the signs! (but it may also be the water that you use to water them, those picky lil bastards 😂) And the one thing that I learned about peace lilies is, they’re super tough and definitely can thrive in low light. I have 3 and they’re all placed near a north facing window, one is even beside a plant shelf (which means it gets lesser light) but they all thrive for me! The one that gets the least amount of light put out new leaf for me every couple weeks! So I’d say you’re absolutely correct when you classified them under low light plants! Love your videos btw! Keep it on!!✌️
I keep him right next to my humidifier! I actually ordered that guy off of hirts.com & I think they pumped him full of a chemical filled fertilizer & it burned the leaves :( I got multiple calatheas from hirts & they all have that problem. Even though I have them sitting inches away from a humidifier & I water them with purified water they are still crispy! I just don't get it!
Harli G Urhhh I totally understand how you feel! I absolutely adore calathea but they can be so fussy sometimes! Have you tried repotting them in new soil? You could also try to mist them every day, that’s what I do to mine and they seem to enjoy it. ;)
Thanks Harli for informing me that The Jewel Orchids only need low light "cause if I see Those Beauties I'm gonna want THEM!!! I would also want the kind of Cast Iron Plant that You Have!!!
The "Jewel Orchids" are extremely variable with respect to their likes/dislikes. The Ludisia discolor kind of loses its awesome dark red/green colored foliage and kind of "fades" if it gets too much light. It does still need to be warm, and have a fairly good amount of humidity. I pot mine up in a huge, shallow (4" or so, drill out some drainage holes, put small "feet" around the pot, and a towel or smaller saucers to catch the excess moisture if you overwater, and I tend to water them well, because they ARE still orchids, so I give them well-drained soil) with a mix of 50% potting soil and 50% Orchiata fine orchid bark. Then I lay the canes down onto the soil, and the roots feel like Velcro, which allows them to hang onto the forest floors or on mossy rocks in their natural environment. These roots will sink into the soil, and new growths will give you flower spikes at the ends of the canes. The leaves tend to die on the rest of the cane, and you can pull them off to clean the canes up. You can actually pull the canes off and get new growths in several ways, I usually cut the spent flower spikes off after they finish blooming, then go back about two "joints" from where the leaves remained, and I'll put a bit of rooting gel onto the ends of the canes, and place them right onto the soil, horizontally, and they'll root from both ends, continuing from where the cane rooted on each end of the cane, and at each end of this new cane, you should get a flower spike the following year. Also, if I accidentally drop a cane from the plant while I'm transplanting them, I just put them roots-down (with or without rooting gel) and they'll root if the soil is moist and humid and warm enough. The lighter green ones that have golden veins through them - I think they're called Macodes petola - likes to be kept in a similarly warm, humid environment, with well-drained soil, and these can be potted a bit deeper than the Ludisia, I've found. They do still grow via a rhizome, and thus appear to "creep" in clusters and form smaller colonies than I've been able to get my Ludisias to form, but they'll form 8-9 plants that'll all be attached via the same rhizome, and you can take cuttings of them (I like to leave at least 3 of the little "whorl"-shaped individual plants before I cut them from the rhizome, especially once I get a nice, well-established colony of them. I grow them in 6 inch deep pots, and I usually find that I have to be creative when finding something that's 6" deep and about 12-15" wide in any direction, and that requires the same drilling of drainage holes as above, and oftentimes, if you can find a HUGE bulb pan, that'll do the trick for all of your jewel orchids. I keep mine outside, on the shaded front porch, on the top shelf of my baker's rack that's my outdoor display for blooming orchids in the summer, but I live in New Orleans, so the weather is exactly what they want. Lifting them to the top shelf is no easy feat, especially since my Ludisia will have about 15-18 spikes this year, and that's not the whole plant! The other jewel orchids, I've not grown yet, but I've worked at florists, and the plants that you listed were ones that we'd grow in the shop, with no extra or special lighting at all, so I’d say that you've got it pretty much down to an art, with the only possible issue being that you'd maybe need to water a bit more often than someone who is in a humid subtropical climate like I am. So, the haters are just A-holes who probably wish they had the knowledge, nerve, appearance (as in, they have "faces for radio" and so do I, which is why I'm a commenter, a consumer, but not a creator. Well, not using my name or face. Hehe.) But seriously, don't let the losers like them get to you, because they are simply jealous, ugly, clueless warthogs with the social skills of an amoeba in heat. Wait, they don't reproduce that way… yeah! So that just makes my point more valid! The haters have the social skills of an amoeba in heat! Don't let them change anything about how you are because they want to bring you down to their level, so that they're not the only amoeba looking for some loving on the planet, but you know, we all know, and deep down, even they know that what I'm saying about them is true. Who wants a single-celled blob to hurt their feelings, especially when they're as awesome as you? Definitely NOT you!
all the others vids on this subject just repeat the same names of low light safe plants, maybe bc they careful not to make mistakes and be "hated", you gave me a lot of new ideas that im certainly going to check out, i like ppl who stands on their own ideas, who cares what ppl say
There’s only one spot in my room that there’s sunlight for a couple of hours a day top, is it good enough for plants that need some light ? Thank you Harli for the amazing video ❤️
Hey, look at that gorgeous peacock calethea..whoever grew that is a plant goddess *wink wink* 😂 seriously though, people get so uptight but fail to realize that where you live, the environment you have them in and what kind of low light (because there are definitely different levels of low light) you're working with, matters. That was a mouthful, but you get the idea. Keep on keeping on, girly!
Harli, don't mind the nay-sayers! You can never satisfy everybody. I think you're great. If I don't like somebody's presentation I just go to another channel. Some just have to hark at the moon! Keep posting Harli! ;)
I’ve had a pellionia pulchra which i think is the same as your pellionia. I’ve had it for two months in medium light and high humidity conditions and it hasn’t grown at all. I’ve been checking to see if any new leaves have grown they haven’t. I’ve taken cuttings and they’ve rooted though.
I really want a Norfolk Island Pine i found about 6 locally last weekend but all really small :( and $$.. I am not in a hurry so waiting for them to go on sale or oh well i will find another. Rainy day here so drinking coffee watching videos on TH-cam and planting yesterday's Steve's Leaves order :) :) i ordered it sooo long ago!! I finally got a philodendron brandtianum :) because they only had a few i ordered quick got another philodendron micans and another bridal veil just so it wasn't lonely lol I know you understand how that works. I have dirt all over my fresh mopped floor... but i'm not wearing white lol I have soo much new growth on some stuff i actually cut off all damaged leaves this AM and propagated pothos, rubber tree, begonias,etc... next nice day i want to get some pictures showing trimmed up and again in a month to show how much it helps the new growth take off. I'm working on making things bushy and full so everything can look really good this summer. I am really thinking about a Instagram for my plants. I like socializing with other plant crazy people. Until TH-cam i felt alone Lol I don't know anyone locally with a passion for plants like me.
Does your Norfolk Pine ever lose branches? Mine has been losing a lot since I brought it in for winter. I’ve tried misting it and it helps a little but not completely. Hoping it can hold on for a couple more months until it gets warm.
Can’t stop staring at that beautiful white variegated monstera in the back
Me, too. I hope she shares with us in theplanthall one day. Hint, hint Harli, lol.😉😘
I love it so much!!
EVTD79 fingers crossed one day it get big enough for me to take cuttings again!
Me 2
I can't stop staring at the beautiful host!
I called a popular plant TH-camr out on talking smack about the younger plant people on TH-cam not being experts and how they shouldn’t make videos.
He responded with four paragraphs bragging about all these irrelevant accolades about how god said women need to shut up and not presume to tell men what to do. It was the craziest thing I ever did see! Clearly a fragile little ego on that one.
I look forward to you passing his subs. 😎 Just call me Petty LaBelle.
Moral of the story: f those people
WOW! I almost cannot believe that! I don't watch many people on youtube so I have absolutely no idea of who it could be, but just wow. People can be so hateful. OMG I love you hahahahaha
No one needs to know who he is, he is an irrelevant manchild. I screenshotted the whole thing in case he ever tries to run for office. Lol
Love you back girl, your positivity and honesty always brightens my day!
Pam's Pretty Pennies pretty sure since I watch everyone on TH-cam when it comes to gardening/house tours I know who it is lol 😂
Plant people gotta stick together. I have one word for the people who talked smack about you: shhhh. 🌱✌️
Michelle R HAHAHAHA ❤️ you! Thank you!
@@HarliG 💓 ya back. Just started water propogating several plants today based on another video of yours....You do good work!
Could you maybe talk about plants during the winter? Like what plants go dormant during the cold, what to do with them, how to know how to care for them, if you can propagate them, etc.

Totally agree with you. People need to understand that having plants is all about trial and error. What works for you may not work for everyone. ie.

Param A YES EXACTLY. You get it 😜
You're absolutely right!
👍🌿
It's definitely trial and error. Somehow, I can keep a fiddle leaf fig going, but can't manage a spider plant for the life of me. so in addition to low/high light situations in one's home, people have to remember our care patterns can greatly affect our plants as well!
msZ 100% definitely! That is a great perspective!
The spider is my favorite, maybe you could water it a little bit at a time and maybe 2 times s week
i don’t know why you guys would be hating so much, everyone goes through a trial and error. everyone lives in different areas. youtube is entertainment, not the news channel. 💚🌱

Hi Harli!😊 I think sometimes people may think that low light actually means almost no light. That could be a problem. There are also so many variables in plants , locations and how their person takes care of them. This is a great video! Very helpful, but as you mentioned people need to do their own research too. I love your videos! 💕
Judy Ludlum yes I completely agree Judy! Thank you so much.
Hi Harli🏵️ nevermind the haters, I love your down to earth attitude and love of houseplants! It's what drew me to subscribe. Trial and error is what it's all about,I don't watch thinking you know everything,I watch because I get a nice feeling that we are doing this together!(except you have a bigger budget!) I give you a big thumbs up!👍😘
Thank you Lisa! I love doing the houseplant stuff here :P (:
Hi Harli, I watched, 👍, and as always enjoyed this vid last night. Because you are encouraging,engaging,informative,verrrry funny and fun to watch,never patronising always gorgeous. Just an all round great girl.Keep it coming and never let the haters get to you. I LOVE being able to share your plant adventures from half way across the planet. Plant on Sister 😀🌺TIsh
Anyone who gives you hate is jealous of you...you're pretty, smart, and you have kick ass plants!!! Never stop making videos you have taught me so freaking much and thanks to you I have a pretty awesome collection only 50 plants but damn it it's growing!
How can people hate other people for speaking out their opinion on their own channel? That is plain rude. You are doing all good! I totally agree with you on zz, pothos, and calatheas. Not tried the others. Never had a great luck with spider plants somehow! You go girl!
Thank you so much! I feel so happy to have such awesome people here on my channel.
@@HarliG ❤️✨🙏
My mom's peace lilly is in a dark-ish corner and she's had to repot it like 5 times because its growing like a beast!!
Great video Harli
Great background too. Totally spying your variegated monstera 😲
cheryl thanks Cheryl 😊 I decided the V. monstera needed more time in videos!
Just keep doing you Harli, you're definitely my favorite :,) Amazing video as always ❤🌟
Francisco Flores thank you so much, Francisco. That means a lot to me! ❤️
If people live in a building that has limited access to direct sunlight, they can still invest in artificial light. And no, I'm not talking about the fancy grow lights. Before grow lights are advertised as such, urban/indoor farmers have learned that certain commercial lights, which meet certain requirements, can supply sufficient light diet to their plants. What to look for: 1. Color Temperature 5000-6500K: it corresponds to the range of wavelength that plants can absorb and convert to energy and 2. Intensity at least 1600+ lux (or to some extend lumens): compared to natural daylight at 10,000 - 25,000 lux, this intensity is appropriately classified as "low" light for plants to thrive but it's as bright as a floodlight bulb to human eyes. So how to increase the intensity without burning your eyes? Bring the plants as close to your light source as possible.
To sum up in a layman's terms: Buy quality, high-intensity light bulbs labeled 5000+ K, 1600+ lumens (preferably CFL or LED to save energy) or Invest in a grow light setup.
Thank you for the tip! This will come in so handy to so many people!
Thank you for all of this light information! I'm going to start researching today. 🌱💜
@@margiemcpeak9304 I suggest youtube as an accessible well of knowledge. I learned a great deal from the microfarming community.
or use LED-tubes
You are awesome, and don't ever let anyone ever tell you otherwise!!
Thumbs up girl! Dont worry about what people say, theres no way care for a plant is exactly the same in everyone's house. That's why plants r so complicated (a wonderful adventure u never know what will happen!) Lol :) dont be sad. I love your videos!
Harli, I just got to find your channel and have been watching your videos ever since. I watched your previous video and also this one about 'low-light houseplants', and I just wanted to let you know that I do really enjoy watching your videos, and I totally agree with you that we all are learning by taking care my own plants, doing own researches for the plants, but also learning from some of others' (like you) experiences and the tips. You are videos are fun, informative, but most of all, you are adorable to watch! So keep the good work, keep sharing us your experiences :) :) xx
I enjoy your videos! People don’t realize that every house is different, and every plant has to adjust to its environment. It’s all a gamble. Some of the people I follow are in Southern California, and some are in the Midwest. I personally cannot keep a crown of thorns alive no matter what I try, but I do well with most everything else. So ignore the haters and please keep whatever you do going!
Bless your heart! I appreciate your trips and enjoy learning about the trial and error of houseplants along w u. 🌱💚😊
I really admire the passion you have for your hobby Harli. And who cares about the "haters", you do the best you can and we all live and we learn. Thank you for your very informative videos!!!
john epperson thank you so much John! I really appreciate that. We are all constantly learning & growing!
@@HarliG You're welcome Harli! So true, no matter what age we are, we're always constantly learning & growing. That's the beauty of life!!!
Your my friend that I never met so I think no matter what your recommendation is, I agree. Lol I look forward to your videos and I am learning with you which makes this sooo fun! Have a great night and keep the videos coming!
Haha plant friends are the best kind! (: Thank you so much for being here & for being so kind (:
I’m sorry that people have been mean to you! I have found this video very insightful and I’m grateful you have made it! ✨
Another thing about peace lily: they do well on low lights but if you want them to produce flowers more often, you have to put them in a medium indirect light. If you keep them in a low light area, they may never bloom. Another thing is if you keep them root bound, it can put it’s energy into flowering.
Oh very good to know! I hadn't ever considered the rootbound energy thing! Thank you so much for sharing that info!
Harli, you do fine for me and you’ve stated before that you are not an expert. I’m glad you tell us your experiences because it’s REAL stuff. Thank you, and ignore the haters!
Debi Hediger thank you so much Debi. I genuinely appreciate having you here on my videos! It can be brutal on here sometimes, but mostly everyone in the plant community is KIND!
Ever since I subscribed to you, Harli, I have never seen you with makeup. This is my first time seeing you with makeup; you are beautiful, either way, tbh; but your natural beauty is much better. Thank-you, foe sharing all this information; has been very helpful, to me.
I just love your videos! You’re fearless enough to continue to post your plant adventures and experiences despite the Negative Nelly’s... I look forward to them always! #KeepOnKeepingOn 🤙🏻🌱🙂
Rhonda Lynn thank you so much Rhonda! I love hanging out with plant peeps here on the YTube it is just so much fun. There are definitely more nice people here, than rude. I genuinely appreciate all you nice folks ❤️
Thank you for suggestions! My home only has low light everywhere. Also, as a plant newbie, I was given a ZZ and didn't know they can survive in lower light. I gave it prime real estate in the brightest (still low light) window I have and it grew to 3 ft tall and split the pot it was in. ZZ seems so versatile, It appears to like low light but takes off in brighter light.
I am definitely going to get one for my bedroom. Thanks!
Love this. Thank you.
Next time you do this topic could you please add wether the plant is toxic to pets and children.
thank you for making this, i live in a basement suit for college and some plants in here would make this place a lot nicer to live in.
Omg jewel orchid! New wishlist plant!!
*Harli is so amazing* 💞💞💞
I like this list and I totally agree with what you said about it just depending on so many factors. I’ve learned so much about what plants do better in my home over time. Love your videos 💕
Deya thank you so much Deya ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You really helped me a lot!! I really wanted to know about these low light plants. Thank you so much 🥰
Beautiful as always Harli! Great video and do think too hard about the people contradicting you. I listen and do my research and watch videos. I learn so much from you and your Mom Stef. Hope you continue to make videos!!!
You are so nice Lisa. Thank you! I definitely plan to keep with the videos. Like 95% of people here are always SO NICE. This is the best place to bond with plant people & my plants on a regular basis. (:
You're so well spoken! My ZZ plant does well just out of range of a southeast window.
ELVAN DYLIS thank you so much Elvan!
I’m from Utah too! And I’ve got 64 house plants. Unfortunately our dry air really screws me over with these tropical plants some times.
My I’ve tried to grow a parlor palm twice and they randomly turn off-color and crisp up. I don’t know how to love them.
Chase Ward humidifier. Essential oil diffuser without essential oils. Maybe keep the diffuser and palm closer to each other.
I’m not much of a palm person but I remember my mom would always mist her palms.
I'm jealous that your dog doesn't mess up the houseplants. Mine loves chewing leaves, so I've to always ensure the plant isn't poisonous lol
People should be nice and understanding that what works best for one person is not going to work for everyone. It’s all about sharing your experience or knowledge.. Every place has different weather, temperatures, water types. Everything we all do is trial and error at times. We are here to help each other and share some tips and tricks. I don’t feel people should be so judgmental . I think if they don’t like any TH-camrs contents there are plenty more to watch. Oh yes, Harli. Your doing awesome, thank you for sharing.❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
I'm kinda new to the planting world, both indoors and out. Being newly retired, I've had time to dedicate to my interests.
It would seem to me that a heart for growing things should be celebrated with with suggestions rather than ridicule. Years of wisdom should be passed down appropriately.
That being said... I truly enjoy your videos.
My bedroom is dark but I would really like a plant in there. I'm going to try the Zz plant. We'll see how it goes!
How's the zz plant??? :0
@@erin4707 , They can survive in low light but won’t grow and will risk rotting if watered too often. If it’s too dark It’s better just get a plastic plant LOL,
@@mrparts this is why I'm asking to see if it survived lol
Thanks Harli! Super helpful. Love your videos!
I'm so happy to hear that! Thank you so much.
Not sure why people would hate on you about the Peace Lily. They are so happy in my very low light home, and I've even had to repot it because the root system was growing out of control.
You are practically glowing in this video!
you and your plants are so amazing.. thank you harly 🌹🍁🌿
More lower light plants include, the Dracaena 'janet craig, heart-leaf philodendron, Dracaena marginata, gasterias,
various different ferns, & anthuriums. Obviously as you mentioned, some plants will do better in brighter condiitons, but these will tolerate low lights.
Oh yes! I can't believe I left some of those off. Thanks for the extra list!
I agree with Harli G's definition of low light. Some Pinterest links "low light plants" at a window sill, with outside light + room LED lights on.
Your varigated monstera in the back is sooo beautifulll!!!!
I love ferns for low light! They do need some light but much much prefer indirect light and are good for filtering air:)
Ah I'm always so hyped when you upload new vidss❤❤
George Plants thank you so much! That means a lot to me!
Enjoyed your great info on the plants. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to seeing new videos. Happy Holidays.
Kathy Gilbreath thank you so much! Happy holidays to you as well 😊 I hope all is well!
Can you do a video about caladiums? Like how to prep it for dormancy and what to do in the spring.
Megan Kokolsky yes!! I’ve actually been working on a video for that! Stay tuned 😜
@@HarliG awesome!!
Love your videos and I agree with your low light options. I love Jewel orchids and have one of the ones you have. I love to root the long stems in water and they often bloom there - oh so pretty. I keep mine in a morning sun window but whatever works is fine with me. Thanks for all the effort you take and your editing!
Carol Smith thank you so much Carol! I have not had mine bloom before, but maybe one day I will have a big enough piece to root in water & maybe I’ll get to see them!
Good video Harli! Very good comments here, too. Your variegated monstera slays me! OMG! I love that plant!!! Your dog in this video??? Not so much. Lol 🌱💜
Haha I didn't realize until watching it after it uploaded that he jump scares a bit in this one :P Sorry about that!
Lol! Funny!
I think this video is AWESOME! And it totally made my day! Thank you so much!
Jackie Castro thank you so much Jackie!
You’re so funny! People should just chill out about this stuff. Obviously you’re just going by what works for you & if they disagree there’s a way to state it nicely! Love your recommendations & some of these are on my list for sure. My house gets a lot of light but not a lot of DIRECT light, so I’m always scoping out new low light plants. 💚
Yes! You get it. My whole thing is, I understand people will disagree, but it's all about stating so respectfully!
Right, there’s a way to do it politely & respectfully. Everyone needs to remember that we’re all just normal people on the other side of this computer screen. Don’t let the haters worry you! My favorite thing about your videos is that it’s like hanging with a friend & chatting about plants. I love how relaxed it is & appreciate that you’re still learning too!
It amazes me how you can keep so many plants alive! Totally jealous. In the past year, I have killed so many plants - due to trial and MAJOR ERROR! lol. I love your videos though, they keep me motivated!
McKenzie Shannon thank you! I definitely struggled at the beginning of my plant obsession, but I learned that for the most part... plants want to live so a little neglect is okay!
Love your videos... They are always helpful n real 👌👍
Thank you so much for saying so! I really really appreciate you!
Don't worry about the dislikes harli.. I love your passion for plants, as I love them too... that's why people connect to you... keep it going... I love your videos :-)
Thank you for your comment! That means a lot to me. I have so much fun here with all you plant people (:
This was such an awesome video and has brought on some plant inspo for my TH-cam Plant with me series.
They’re just drinking on the
Hater-ade Har, and they’re just jealous of your knowledge and awesome green thumb coolness.
Let them be mad, and you’re right when it comes to different zones and light exposures. Keep doing your thing, you’re my favorite plant chic on TH-cam besides a few others including your Mama dukes. Eventually when I start my channel I’ll let everyone see my plant hoarding obsession/addiction and share my love for all things green.
hahahahaha Hater-Ade omg :P I am looking forward to the start of your channel! I will be watching once you get it going (:
Harli G just nervous to share my gorgeous face and my obsession might be overwhelming to some that don’t “get it”. Also by the way I lost our bet for no buy. I bought a Philadendron gloriosum cutting, 2 pothos n joy (Lowe’s of all places had some) a new Calathea with pink stripes which I just HAD to have, 3 coral aloes, and ummm we bought our Christmas Tree from the local fire department which is considered a plant, so...yeahhhh.
OMG your dog scared the living $#*+ out of me! Haha. Great video :)
Its trial and error... what may works for you, may not work for me!, And I say this because I used to have my fittonias (white and red) in indirect east facing light in my living room and usually dry air, only in winter we use humidifier and they both didn’t grow at all , until I decided to put them in the bathroom with NO windows, no lights other than when someone is in it, but everyday humidity from 4 people taking showers and they are doing great, growing like bushes!🌱🌱 I discover this by accident when I wanted to give them more humidity for a couple of days and they started to grow within the week... and yeah a couple of day means I got busy and didn’t take them out for the week, I figured they are ok tomorrow will do it!🌿
Great plant tips! Haters gonna hate. ZZ plant has been one I haven't gotten my hands on which is weird but I think they are neat plants.
Knot Dude what! 🙀🙀🙀
Harli G I know 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Knot Dude if there’s an ikea in your area try there. You can check online to see if they have any in stock. I saw some at my location the other day.
I have a zz plant in my bedroom in a large pot. Maybe 2 meters away from a window
And it has 4 new shoots growing on it.
Great video! Thank you for the information
I love your content 💚 thank you for making videos.
Sorry you had to endure "hate," but I appreciate your opinion. It gives me clues to what house plants to try.
I guess it wasn't really hate, people can just be so rude when they disagree! I understand not everyone agrees, I just wish people would state so respectfully & not in a demeaning way! Thank you for watching (:
@@HarliG No, you are correct. If it wasn't constructive with the intent of helping you, then it was hate. You're stronger than you think. This video was a good response to those people.
I absolutely love your videos. I’ve been binge watching after work for a week. I ordered plants from your website today I can’t find a video where you talk about your shop):
You are so awesome! Some people are just miserable. I love your videos!
Thank you so much Jodie!
Woot! Huge Utah houseplant fan here too!!! Its been a struggle this year because we have hd no humidity in like 2 months! Do you use a humidifier at all?
What?! I love your first video on this 😅 nevertheless I cannot get enough of low-light houseplant Videos as I basically don’t have sun in northern Germany.... ever 🤷🏻♀️😂
Thank you so much! I appreciate that! Low light plants make life so much easier! haha
🌿💚🍃 sending PlantLove ....
We could be neighbors, that is crazy. Love your channel, thank you.
Oh no that gorgeous calathea makoyana definitely needs more humidity! The crispy edges are the signs! (but it may also be the water that you use to water them, those picky lil bastards 😂)
And the one thing that I learned about peace lilies is, they’re super tough and definitely can thrive in low light. I have 3 and they’re all placed near a north facing window, one is even beside a plant shelf (which means it gets lesser light) but they all thrive for me! The one that gets the least amount of light put out new leaf for me every couple weeks! So I’d say you’re absolutely correct when you classified them under low light plants! Love your videos btw! Keep it on!!✌️
I keep him right next to my humidifier! I actually ordered that guy off of hirts.com & I think they pumped him full of a chemical filled fertilizer & it burned the leaves :( I got multiple calatheas from hirts & they all have that problem. Even though I have them sitting inches away from a humidifier & I water them with purified water they are still crispy! I just don't get it!
Harli G Urhhh I totally understand how you feel! I absolutely adore calathea but they can be so fussy sometimes!
Have you tried repotting them in new soil? You could also try to mist them every day, that’s what I do to mine and they seem to enjoy it. ;)
Love this and love how you're dog about made me sh&t my self 😂
K me too honestly hahahaha
It was so funny and your plants are beautiful
Thanks Harli for informing me that The Jewel Orchids only need low light "cause if I see Those Beauties I'm gonna want THEM!!! I would also want the kind of Cast Iron Plant that You Have!!!
EG TheBlackTruth FINGERS CROSSED YOU FIND SOME! 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
The "Jewel Orchids" are extremely variable with respect to their likes/dislikes. The Ludisia discolor kind of loses its awesome dark red/green colored foliage and kind of "fades" if it gets too much light. It does still need to be warm, and have a fairly good amount of humidity. I pot mine up in a huge, shallow (4" or so, drill out some drainage holes, put small "feet" around the pot, and a towel or smaller saucers to catch the excess moisture if you overwater, and I tend to water them well, because they ARE still orchids, so I give them well-drained soil) with a mix of 50% potting soil and 50% Orchiata fine orchid bark. Then I lay the canes down onto the soil, and the roots feel like Velcro, which allows them to hang onto the forest floors or on mossy rocks in their natural environment. These roots will sink into the soil, and new growths will give you flower spikes at the ends of the canes. The leaves tend to die on the rest of the cane, and you can pull them off to clean the canes up. You can actually pull the canes off and get new growths in several ways, I usually cut the spent flower spikes off after they finish blooming, then go back about two "joints" from where the leaves remained, and I'll put a bit of rooting gel onto the ends of the canes, and place them right onto the soil, horizontally, and they'll root from both ends, continuing from where the cane rooted on each end of the cane, and at each end of this new cane, you should get a flower spike the following year. Also, if I accidentally drop a cane from the plant while I'm transplanting them, I just put them roots-down (with or without rooting gel) and they'll root if the soil is moist and humid and warm enough. The lighter green ones that have golden veins through them - I think they're called Macodes petola - likes to be kept in a similarly warm, humid environment, with well-drained soil, and these can be potted a bit deeper than the Ludisia, I've found. They do still grow via a rhizome, and thus appear to "creep" in clusters and form smaller colonies than I've been able to get my Ludisias to form, but they'll form 8-9 plants that'll all be attached via the same rhizome, and you can take cuttings of them (I like to leave at least 3 of the little "whorl"-shaped individual plants before I cut them from the rhizome, especially once I get a nice, well-established colony of them. I grow them in 6 inch deep pots, and I usually find that I have to be creative when finding something that's 6" deep and about 12-15" wide in any direction, and that requires the same drilling of drainage holes as above, and oftentimes, if you can find a HUGE bulb pan, that'll do the trick for all of your jewel orchids. I keep mine outside, on the shaded front porch, on the top shelf of my baker's rack that's my outdoor display for blooming orchids in the summer, but I live in New Orleans, so the weather is exactly what they want. Lifting them to the top shelf is no easy feat, especially since my Ludisia will have about 15-18 spikes this year, and that's not the whole plant! The other jewel orchids, I've not grown yet, but I've worked at florists, and the plants that you listed were ones that we'd grow in the shop, with no extra or special lighting at all, so I’d say that you've got it pretty much down to an art, with the only possible issue being that you'd maybe need to water a bit more often than someone who is in a humid subtropical climate like I am. So, the haters are just A-holes who probably wish they had the knowledge, nerve, appearance (as in, they have "faces for radio" and so do I, which is why I'm a commenter, a consumer, but not a creator. Well, not using my name or face. Hehe.) But seriously, don't let the losers like them get to you, because they are simply jealous, ugly, clueless warthogs with the social skills of an amoeba in heat. Wait, they don't reproduce that way… yeah! So that just makes my point more valid! The haters have the social skills of an amoeba in heat! Don't let them change anything about how you are because they want to bring you down to their level, so that they're not the only amoeba looking for some loving on the planet, but you know, we all know, and deep down, even they know that what I'm saying about them is true. Who wants a single-celled blob to hurt their feelings, especially when they're as awesome as you? Definitely NOT you!
I just ordered and got a baby Monstera .
I’m excited to see it grow 🌱
Oh yay! Where did you order from?!
Harli G amazon but it was the very last one available now .
Is that a variegated Monstera I see Behind You it’s beautiful 👍🏼🌱
I think you defended yourself eloquently! Well done,👏 and thank you for your video and I'm going to subscribe. ☺️
all the others vids on this subject just repeat the same names of low light safe plants, maybe bc they careful not to make mistakes and be "hated", you gave me a lot of new ideas that im certainly going to check out, i like ppl who stands on their own ideas, who cares what ppl say
I loved this video and the last one thank you! If you like plants were automatically friends (:
I live in Utah too! This helps so much!! Thank you so much !! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am so glad to hear that! thank you!
Hate? Hate for what? Not knowing things? Was it real hate or was it critisism? Because that is two different things. Btw awsome and helpful video❤️
There’s only one spot in my room that there’s sunlight for a couple of hours a day top, is it good enough for plants that need some light ? Thank you Harli for the amazing video ❤️
Chinese Evergreen yeah♥️
Hey, look at that gorgeous peacock calethea..whoever grew that is a plant goddess *wink wink* 😂 seriously though, people get so uptight but fail to realize that where you live, the environment you have them in and what kind of low light (because there are definitely different levels of low light) you're working with, matters. That was a mouthful, but you get the idea. Keep on keeping on, girly!
Haley Costner ummmm YEAH! She’s a talented gardener for sure 😜 I have plans to order from your shop soon! & thank you for getting it ❤️
Harli, don't mind the nay-sayers! You can never satisfy everybody. I think you're great. If I don't like somebody's presentation I just go to another channel. Some just have to hark at the moon! Keep posting Harli! ;)
Haha your puppy scared me 🤣
I’ve had a pellionia pulchra which i think is the same as your pellionia. I’ve had it for two months in medium light and high humidity conditions and it hasn’t grown at all. I’ve been checking to see if any new leaves have grown they haven’t. I’ve taken cuttings and they’ve rooted though.
I have a big room with one tiny north facing window. But I love plants so I’m started to put them throughout my room. I hope they will do ok.
Jewel orchids? You so fancy. 💎
I love this haha
I really want a Norfolk Island Pine i found about 6 locally last weekend but all really small :( and $$.. I am not in a hurry so waiting for them to go on sale or oh well i will find another. Rainy day here so drinking coffee watching videos on TH-cam and planting yesterday's Steve's Leaves order :) :) i ordered it sooo long ago!! I finally got a philodendron brandtianum :) because they only had a few i ordered quick got another philodendron micans and another bridal veil just so it wasn't lonely lol I know you understand how that works. I have dirt all over my fresh mopped floor... but i'm not wearing white lol I have soo much new growth on some stuff i actually cut off all damaged leaves this AM and propagated pothos, rubber tree, begonias,etc... next nice day i want to get some pictures showing trimmed up and again in a month to show how much it helps the new growth take off. I'm working on making things bushy and full so everything can look really good this summer.
I am really thinking about a Instagram for my plants. I like socializing with other plant crazy people. Until TH-cam i felt alone Lol I don't know anyone locally with a passion for plants like me.
Does your Norfolk Pine ever lose branches? Mine has been losing a lot since I brought it in for winter. I’ve tried misting it and it helps a little but not completely. Hoping it can hold on for a couple more months until it gets warm.
She lives in one of the driest places while I live in the most humid state, Florida
same! Where it’s either extremely hot or rainy all day. My plants have surprisingly survived tho!
