I went from 0 plant to 35 plants , most of them in my bedroom and that's all because I watch your videos 😍😍 much love all the way from Morocco
wheeew fellow Moroccan??!!
Currently at 60 in about a year 🤷♀️
@@thewittyusername around 100 in a year and a couple of months lol
@@buttcheeksguy I'm getting ready to hit up four plant shops today, two of which just got a huge delivery in. It's like Pistils PDX knew I was coming! 🤦♀️
@@thewittyusername ur a guy lol
New goal: meet a plant broker
Actually though...lol
Hello beautiful Pam!🤗🌿
Can you make a video of just pet friendly options?
Monstera is not pet friendly. I keep mine high up on my plant shelf that my cat cannot get onto. Some cats don't mess with plants but mine does. Most plants sold as floor plants are bad. Peace lilies and all other lilies are toxic. Palms are okay generally but I personally can never keep them alive lmao.
yes!
Everything I can find says aspidistra is safe. It’s on my wishlist for that reason!
I feel like I'm amazingly lucky living in Florida. I got my cast iron plant in a one gallon pot at Lowes for like $7. It's not a special variety - it's just plain dark green - but it's lovely.
You’re so lucky 🪴
Mine keep getting brown tips
I went from 0 to 1500 plant and still counting. More than 100 in my bedroom. Most of them are grown from thrown branches from others. Love from nepal
1500 or 150
@@exoticjournalista8613 more than 1500 going for 2k
That is so awesome. When are we going to see a video
I started two weeks ago and I have about 20
1500 thats crazy hope ill have that many someday☺️
The moment you said “Instagram famous” I knew it was going to be MONSTERA haha 😂
Ok
Why can’t I have friends who love plants this much!? Anyone in Oregon? lol
Everyone one I know in Oregon loves plants.
I need one in PA. I'll bet it's fun to shop with a plant friend. I have the two wains addicted to plants, but there's only so much intelligent conversation you can have with 4 year olds. :/
@@deaconsmom2000 ur weird lol 😂
@@deaconsmom2000 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sorry I can’t help I’m Australian 😂
My monstera began as a sprig given To me by a coworker about 10 years ago. It’s now completely grown me out of house and home and giving me many babies/off shoots. It is the best as far as easy to take care of and not requiring anything fussy whatsoever. Highly recommend! Can’t wait to get some more of these that you’re mentioning as I am an addict!!
Monstera: tough as nails
My monstera: drops all its leaves when i put it near a door
Billy Hemingway it probably didn’t like the wind drafts from outside
Jacob Hicks it wasnt even to the outside it was beside my bedroom door which just opens to a hallway
🤔
yep and susceptible to all of fungus, and bacteria
Maybe too bright
I´ve recently fallen in love with a Mammey Tree, also called the sapote tree or Mammea Americana. I´ve never seen it been sold or displayed as a large floor house plant but about a year ago I bought a large one really cheap. The shape is groovy, the leaves are beuutiful , rounded and shiny and it does not need bright direct light. I bought one , potted it and left it in the living room and it had a striking effect as decor. It has that wow effect that it strikes anyone that comes into my house.
Wow, your Natal Mahogany is beautiful. I've never seen that type of plant. Great video
Your suggestions are always so unique and helpful! Thank you!!
I watch and enjoy all your video posts. I don't even have plants inside my home. Many plants you describe I have growing in my yard. You are a real plant guy because you always mention the Latin name and as many common names that you know of. I am a terra cotta snob and I have to water my porch plants often.
I just got a 4ft tall parlor palm as a floor plant and I think it adds a really cool tropical flair! I love seeing the white variety birds of paradise as floor plants too! I got a small one but it is growing super fast!
Hi from Nevada! Found your channel after a shout-out from Harli G’s video on top 5 floor plants. You are so informative and passionate about your plants I can’t wait to watch more of your videos.
Monsteras grow in brutal full sun in highway medians and exposed cliffs in all Central America and Mexico. They’re extremely tough plants.
We have them in Colombia too! They’re everywhere!
Thank you!! I've been looking for recommendation of big indoor plants!!
Very informative for a newbie like me just starting to venture out beyond a pothos lol - I just purchased a Monstera deliciosa and I can’t wait to see it grow and get large like yours!!
Great video! Thanks for all the info, your plants are beautiful💖
Nickkkk! I randomly discovered your amazing channel and now I'm completely addicted
Hi Nick! I love your choices for floor plants. I hope I can find the Natal Mahogany, but not sure I have enough room for a big floor plant. LOL! I have a very small Janet Craig and didn't realize it would get so big. I love that it has potential for that! I have 2 fairly large Dracaena Marginates and really love them. One is growing really wonky, which I love! I, also, have some smaller Dracaenas that I'm hoping develop the trunk like stems. I have one variegated schefflera, but it's nowhere near as big as yours. This was another fun and informative video! You're such a joy to watch! Thank you, again, for sharing your time and expertise!
Always enjoy watching your videos.
Great information. Thanks Nick.
Really loving your green channel, Nick! Thanks for sharing your lovely plants...
Omg that natal mahogany looks amazing!!!! So gorgeous....
You really know your stuff and deliver it in a concise and understandable way. Total Philly.
Yessss lol
I bought a Natal Mahogany and she is beautiful thanks for the tip. Smooches💋
Omg thank you! I was searching for good floor plants! I already have a dracena lime green, a ficus benjamina and a small (but fast growing) ficus elastica tineke, but they are not what i am searching for. The plants you choose are muuuuch more the kind i want! ~
Informative video! I learned a lot! Thank you.
Great informative video. Thank you. I now have some new large leaf plants to think about… and annoy my partner with. I can also look forward to hearing ‘another plant!’ comment coming from him soon.
I have a Dracaena Spineless and it loves the sun ! I love your videos Nick 😍😍😍😍
Thank you. I really want some floor plants and I learned a ton from this video.
Love that you have an apidistra! I haven’t seen anybody else mention them. Mine is my longest surviving plant - he survived my years of terrible neglect and now I think of him as a war veteran. I’ve changed my bad ways and making amends, now he’s totally fabulous. Love your channel xx
How do you find it goes in terms of new growth? Mine needs to fill out, it’s a bit lopsided but they always seem to be lopsided in local nurseries
@@mrsbeard5225 Mine is fine, if anything too big and bushy and just had a haircut (my cat likes to nibble him) but he gets lots of bright indirect light all day long in my conservatory - when he was in a lower light situation the growth was definitely less. I would say there's been about 6-8 new leaves this year.
i never saw this cast iron plant before, nice to get to know it...
Great advice, thanks so much! 💖🦋🌿
Love your videos! Keep 'em coming!!!
You have such beautiful and heathy plants.
I have a Janet Craig that is atleast five feet tall and about 15 years old. When I recieved her, she was living in an old plastic pot with the same soil from atleast 10 years ago and potted with a sanseveria. It was super root bound with slug damage. I soaked the old dirt off and massaged it's roots, repotted it, a sprinkle of fertilizer and it's kicking out new growth like crazy! She has little bends in her stems at odd angles I love her. She's a slow grower but amazingly resilient.
Great healthy plants.
I love my dracaena Janet craig! I agree it's pretty easy to take care of
A couple of my Sanseveria are floor plants now and they look gorgeous!
I'm struggling to grow them consistently, any tips?
You know what I learned about plants, when we grow them just because they do not proceed, but when you bond emotions, they strive. I was that plant murderer who could not keep a plant alive, and i do so great with plants that are dying. You have to share spirituality with them. Real emotions.
tbh a year ago i got myself a biig (1m50) fiddle leaf fig as a birthday gift and it's honestly one of the easiest plant i have. I water it when the soil get's too dry, but for the most part i just let it do it's thing and i looooove seeing all the new baby leaves grow
Ty so much love watching your videos
I love setting the video to 1.75 speed and listen to nick fast but accurately pronounce the plants’ science names lol
Thanks Nick for this video, I have a small Monstera Deliciosa and it is an easy forgiving plant, I have a large Schefflera, doing great as well. I have the fussier Dracaena and where I have her she is happy, and the browning tips is what she does when I don't give her enough water. I don't really have the floor space for too many large plants. I would love to find a Dracaena "janet craig" hopefully some day I will find one. I hope you have a wonderful day and I will see you soon, bye for now.
I have a clivia lily (actually, 3 in 1 pot) that is a lovely, lush floor plant. I don’t see them mentioned in the online plant community, but their growth pattern is so elegant. And with dark thick leaves and orange flower bunches. I hope they get more recognition!
Maybe it's because lilies are usually outdoor plants? I'm not completely sure though. Have a nice day 🙂
thank you for talking about where I could get a Natal Mahogany, I have been looking for this plant ever since I saw it in your videos and unfortunately no luck, will see what plant brokers my nursery uses.
One of my favorite videos!
I have a drecaena Dorado, it has yellowish edges and it was my first floor plant I got. Had him for about 4 years and he is about a little over 3 feet but he is my favorite.
I got a Schefflera on lava rock, which is so easy to look after. And pretty cheap too. Highly recommend patch if you live in London their plants are so reasonably priced and they have their own delivery team, my plant always arrive in top condition, and no packaging!
Liked and subbed. Love your info and style in giving it.
bird of paradise!!
you have a lots of plants. nice. thanks for sharing,,,,
Facts! I have 4 of the Dracena Fragrans and the brown/yellowed edges are inevitable
May I ask how old is the Monstera plant that you showed in the beginning of the video ?
Love the Natal Mahogany, had 6ft Amate 15 years ago. That is amazing cast iron plant, never seen that cultivar before. You sound you do what I used too. Interiors-cape?
Can you do a video about how you got involved in the plant industry and what your job entails???
My mom always had enormous split-leaf philodendrons (sorry, that's what she called it - really a Monstera deliciosa)in her very large bright home. Stunning. She would wipe off the leaves occasionally. She used milk for that, but I have no idea why.
Can’t wait to get the Monstera Deliciosa
It is absolutely stunning!
I just purchased one. Can’t wait to get it
Michael Joel Pagan lucky you!
Unfortunately it isn’t available in India
@@JN-sc1xz They do. Check out the channel Garden Up.
Since the Jenny Craig has such a small root system can other smaller plants be placed inside the pot with it? I love the information you provide. Thank you so much.
My personal favorites are Norfolk island pine (why is it so underrated?), monstera and money tree (though my money tree is a bit fussy when it comes to cold drafts)
Nick: There are so many Dracaenas
Biologist Community: Psyche, Sansevierias no longer exist, they are all Dracaenas.
Nick+the world: ..crap
Could you recommend a moisture meter? (Love your channel 💚)
I like your Style OF presenting plants .
Nick your thoughts on watering plants with melted snow?
Would love it if you would mention the toxicity of the plans as you discuss them. Great channel
I wish I can go plant shopping with you lollll
Love! Love! Umbrella trees actually looking for one! Own the bicolor already they’ll do great outside as well and grow huge! Had one years ago doing full and beautifully made the big mistake of fertilizing with miracle grow and diluted it even more…it killed it! Turned mushy dropped all leaves. Also my fiddle leaves ficus it barely survived but dropped many leaves I had to buy another small one to fill it up as it grows hopefully. Ficus are very picky though don’t like to be moved.
I love Janet!
Strelitzia nicolai (white bird of paradise) would be a recommendation from me. I have mine sitting in a chair in my room now. But it has put up with so much neglect from me, from being outside to sitting in front of a doorway where there was barely any light. It has put off four leaves since I’ve had it, but I finally found the perfect spot and it is looking healthier everyday and put out a new baby leaf!
Courtney Roberson Come closer to spring- he’s definitely on my list! So stunning as well!
My take on this planetThe split leaf philodendron for me becomes too big too bulky. Needs to be staked a lot of work for a little bang hey I’m glad I found your channel I love it thank you
Robin4137 a monstera deliciosa is not a split leaf philodendron! A split leaf philodendron is a different plant all together, much more spiky looking!
beautiful plants very nicce👍
Are dracaena marginata good in dark corners also? I have a huge one in a northeast window but I'm nervous about moving it further away
I have 3 favorite things...Plants, Fish Tanks, and nice Gay guys. If you know your fish as well...Im going ring shopping, lol! On a serious note, thanks for all the info. You have helped alot. I love plants, but dont know how to care for them like I do my fish tanks.
I love your videos thanks! Do you think $80 is high for the natal mahagony? I found it but is that a good price?
Think you missed the #1 floor plant!!! What about the fiddle leaf fig. The best looking in my opinion.
Way too finicky for my taste!
At 1.42 you can see some yellow marks on the top right big leaf. My monstera also has those marks and i wanna know what causes them?
I bought Dracena Massangeana in IKEA in Croatia, I never had a brown tips from watering it from a tap water (which I also do with all of my plants). I have it for 3 years now, I water it every 3-4 weeks, and no brown tips. Apsolutlly healty lifs. For me it is low maintenance, exellent plant for everybody. I think that your problem is in the tap water. We drink water from a tap. And the water is exellent quality.
Luckily because I live in South Africa natal mahogany’s are super common and are inexpensive I currently have one which is about 3 to 4m tall :) I’ve seen ones outdoors up to about 20m they are so beautiful!!
Great video. Subscribed 🥰
I totally agree about the corn plant which is a plant I have learned to hate. That plant is just too finicky! I never know where to find the cast iron plant too, by the way. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that in big box stores. I always hear that it’s a very easy plant to grow and have been so curious. Really don’t know where to find it.
Awesome review I have been looking for a Jenny Craig
YAY SHEFFLERA I WAS WAITING FOR MY UMBRELLA TREEEE
I have my monstera in a south facing window also, and have been nervous that it wasn’t wise to give it that much light, but I’m glad to see you do as well. Mine seems to be doing well there so far.
I also love the Australian Tree ferns for larger floor plants. As long as you can keep a little extra humidity 🌱
I have been looking for one for ages. Are they common where you live, or how did you get your hands on one. Easy to grow, yes, no?
Count Dracula not difficult to grow as long as you have a bright light space. The other key is to keep the “stems” misted
I literally have the opposite experience with the dracaenas! My Janet Craig literally would have brown leaves then turn black and my lemon lime corn dracaena flourished! they were right next to each other in the same kind of soil and watered with bottle water when bone dry! how funny
They’re pretty basic plants, but I find money trees are super easy to grow and hella cheap. Mines grown a ton in like 2 months and I have no complaints
Wonderful
Hey Nick is there a widely available house plant fertilizer that you recommend?
Fantastic channel!
The last one is beauuuuutiful 😍
(Ofc it's expensive tho😭)
Question/favor... will you do a video regarding light. I’m moving to a new place and the lighting situation is going to require that I supplement with grow lights. My main question is how long to you leave grow lights on, how to position them etc.
Yesss love your videos from Australia ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi! How do u handle moisture in ur home? (Mold issue etc)
What are your thoughts on the Dracaena Marginata? I need to fill a shady corner in my living room and would like the pop of color and height, unless you think it may not be a good spot for it (based on light requirements). ??
Are the variegated versions of plants more tolerant of low light conditions? The dracaena corn plant has fragrant night time blossoms in December.
Thank you excellent video.
Help...I think I over watered my cast iron plant. It went from looking good to having curled drooping leaves. I cut back the leaves and put it away from direct light. Any advice?
Spathiphyllum Sensation is the best large low light plant!
Lol oh man do I feel awesome about my natal mahogany. Someone didn’t know/care what they had because I found it in an alley (albeit it was a nicer neighborhood)
