I love croton. Love the colors. I bring mine in every fall & put it back out in spring. Also love the common flowering bromliads. Not a fan of most hoya, scindapsis & totally dislike shingling plants. It's a good thing we all like different things or life would be boring. As long as we like the plants we have, all is good. 😊
I'm gonna defend my plants because you always bash my favorites. Love bromeliads. They're super easy and adaptable. Spiders don't live in them, but tree frogs often lay their tadpoles/eggs in the cups in their native environments. That's super cool. I LOVE my rabbit's foot fern. It's one of the few ferns I've kept alive for years. It doesn't care about the dry air, it actually does best with some direct sun. Mine's just started having the feet come out of the pot and I am here for it. Love that plant. The Latin name is Davalia Feejensis (they're from Fiji). I LOVE crotons! I don't care if I'm the only one. My Petra is stunning. The pillow texture is so cool. The colors are so wild. They're really not hard like people think as long as you have a sunny spot for them. I get that colors can be a lot, but I think they're stunning. and I already went off about the silver bay, so I'll leave that alone. 🤣 No hate. You're honestly one of my favorite plant tubers and people have different tastes, but damn girl, your plants I don't like videos always get me riled up because it's always some of my favorite plants. 🐰
I don’t own one, but I like crotons too. I could definitely see myself picking one up in the future! I think that I’m a little picky with plants, but the colours are just gorgeous.
Crotons and bromeliads are not ugly but they are annuals to me. They serve their purpose for a month or two then it’s in the trash. Crotons are nice along with harvest decor in front porch but after thanksgiving in the compost bin they go. They are not houseplants in my books.
Why isn't rabbit's foot fern called tarantula foot fern? Because that's what those "feet" look like. They don't bother me, but I can see how a lot of people find them a bit gross.
I have 24 different types of Tradescantia haha! I like them. I love any type of trailing plants. I have some Hoya which I love and some that I don’t. Another fav of mine are Philodendrons. I have lots of different types of Pothos as well.. it’s all a fun hobby for me.. not everyone is going to like all the plants that I have or that you have.. it’s ok cause it’s all just personal preference. 😊
Tradescantia are lovely in my opinion and I’m more than willing to work with mine because I just think it’s so adorable. I have pruned mine back so much which has made it fuller and I always put the cuttings back in the pot so it’s not so leggy. It grows in a very uniform way and hardly gets brown leaves because I figured out it doesn’t like too much sun but just enough to make it pretty and purple. It was getting a bit leggy so I had to cut it back the other day which gave me enough cuttings for a whole new plant ❤
Opuntias never get in my house. I had one decades ago, and I got those pesky tiny thorns (glochids) in my fingers - in the kitchen! The Opuntia was sitting two rooms away! Never had those since.
Number 7 I totally agree with. I was at a local nursery & when I went to pick up a plant my hand ran right into a Hairy Opuntia that was hidden behind a bigger plant. Never hated a plant more than that horrible cactus!
I don't keep plants long that have leaves that turn yellow or brown & constantly have to be cleaned up to look good. I just don't have time for them. ( and I so wanted to keep loving Nanook tradescantia). Ha. The other plants I can't deal with are ones that hurt me. I will never again own an opuntia or many other mean ass cactus.i do however love most succulents that are friendly to repot. I have kept Hoyas for 40 years and they definitely are my fav plants.
I dislike cane begonias. They grow stupid. They always get leggy and floppy. I generally don't like any plants that have to be staked on a pole or trained on a board. It's so impractical. You can't keep growing it up a pole forever. Total pain in the ass. Or the shingling plants? What are you gonna do when it gets to the top of the board? Glue another one on it? No thank you. I should be able to put a plant in a pot and it grows. Period. I also am so over the dracaena trees. Except for my dragon tree, all the other ones get brown crispy tips and the leaves never fully develop. I thought they were supposed to be easy, but maybe they just need more humidity in my environment, but I'm over them. The trick to propagating tradescantia is just stick the cuttings in soil and start watering, You can completely skip the water/spaghnum, etc. with those. They just have to be started over from cuttings like every 6 months and they need really bright light so yeah they're sort of a pain. I do have the deep purple one and keep up with it because the color is just so wild.
I agree the cane Begonia are a real pain, but they're pretty so I keep them around, haha! They're easy to chop back too, when they get leggy. They will grow back bushy again eventually. Some plants we find worth the hassle, and others just aren't if you don't like the look of it enough.
@@jaclynns.jungle Agreed. I think I'm just gonna cut off the straggly parts. I feel the same way about rex begonias and calatheas. They HAVE to be right next to a humidifier in my environment, but they're worth it to me.
Hi Jaclynn, I agree with you on the bromiliads, the one I got the flower looked like a paddle and I got it because the flower was purple and I tried growing it and it died, my other Bromiliad was the one you showed and it also died, so I will not buy them again. And the Rabbit foot fern I will never buy because it really does look like spiders legs and that creeps me out. I have 6 Tradescantia, and they do grow weird, and are not really easy to propagate, I love the ones I have and keep trying to keep all of them happy. Calathea I call them my diva plants, I do love the ones I have and I have lost a few of them, but I just still try to take care of the ones I have and will more than likely get more. I agree that Fittonia are a diva plant, I only have one and she has struggled but I still really like it. I'm not a fan of cacti that are poky, and not really sure I will ever buy one. I have 3 Aglaonema, and love the ones I have but had the Silver bay and it was not my favorite and so it died. I have never gotten a shingling plant and not really a fan of those. I had 3 Croton and loved the ones I had but they became so difficult to keep alive so I don't know if I will ever get any again. I do have the buy 3 rule, if I get a plant and it dies I might buy it again and if it dies again I will only buy it 3 times after that I am done with that plant forever, lol! Thanks for this great video, sending love and hugs, you are just the sweetest, bye for now. 😂🥰🤗😻💜💜💜
I think Croton do better outside. I had a hard time keeping mine happy indoors in the winter. But they also look nicer outside, in my opinion!! Hope you have a great day Holly! ☺️🥰
Yes please a video of difficult Hoyas would be great. Also I have a Silver Bay in my living room and I love her, sorry that you don't have the same feeling.
I had to laugh when you said Aglaonema Silver Bay! On Facebook you asked us to put our favorite plants and I put my aglaonema Silver Bay and you said you didn't like it. I just started laughing because you said it a hundred times in your videos that you didn't like it. 🤦♀️🤣 I do agree with this list! I've tried most of what was on this list and realized they're just not for me. I didn't even like Hoyas but then I went to my brother's house and he had my mother's Crimson Queen and I fell in love. He let me cut a couple pieces off and now I have it growing. My mom passed in 2014. And now thanks to you I have 50 hoyas. I just lost my elliptica, rip. And if you have any sometime I will get one. I love your Channel and your personality. If I was to be a TH-camr I would sound like you. 💚🪴🙋♀️🎃 that fast I forgot which Emoji I was supposed to leave. 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for pointing out all the thorns in my side. AKA Plants on the way out. Other then the Aglaonema (I never see them here.) As for rooting up shingle plants, chop in 2 node cuttings and place on damp sphagnum Moss, in a propagation box (I use food containers with clear lids.) 🐰🐇🐰🐇🐰🐇🐰🐇🐰🐇🦶
I agree with ALL of your choices! Tried them all-many multiple times, and learned when to give up. I am a big calathea fan and have somehow learned how to keep all 12 different species of mine thriving. I do agree though, that the ones with pink, like roseopicta, are near impossible to keep happy. I do have a question-why are people so nuts about Hoyas? They are so bland to me. Would love to hear why people love them.
I didn't understand the Hoya hype either until I finally got myself a Carnosa Krimson Queen and I fell in love. The leaves are just so unique, and if you like a trailing plant, there are some seriously gorgeous options! They are weird sometimes, but they are also really cool sometimes too, especially the blooms! There's so many different Hoya there really is something for everyone! I enjoy how low maintenance they are as well and the cute baby ones are just, well, addicting 😅 But everyone is different and that's okay!! I like to try out different Genera all the time, so when I finally gave Hoya a shot, it didn't take long before I was hooked! 😊
I love hoyas mainly for their leaves, not the blooms. Each one is a bit different than the other. Some have gorgeous veining, or splashes, or variegation that I love to see. Others look crinkly. I love hoyas! 😄 Thanks for asking!
Didn't like them in the beginning but they have some serious very nice leaves and the blooms are an extra. I say always there"'s a hoya for everyone they 're so different that anyone at least could like one of them.
This was so fun to watch! 🐰 I mostly agreed with your choices except for two: I have more of a tolerance for crawlers but I definitely understand the struggle. I put them in long planters/window boxes because I have a gloriosum and a pastazanum and I really do love them. Also, I adore tradescantia!!! The purple foliage is just so gorgeous and I love growing them trailing. I also actually find them really easy to propagate just in water if you ever decide to try again! I agree that it took me a while to get used to the care, and I had to go through my share of crispy leaves, but I think I have it down now and I love them. I totally get that they’re not for everyone though. I fully agreed with everything else in your list!! Again, what a fun video to do. I love hearing peoples opinions and I’ve always wondered what kind of people actually like crotons 🤣🤣 (no shame if anyone does, I just never understood the appeal haha!)
Ohh I forgot that I actually like rabbits foot ferns too. I don’t have one because I feel like I’d kill it but I think the fuzzy tarantula legs are cool 😂
I love that people love different plants!! I think tradescantia looks good in other people's homes, I just didn't love having it in mine. And I'm always saying to just have plants you love, we don't need them all, right?! Haha!
You definitely should try the rabbits foot fern. I did and found out it’s was easy for me. Didn’t need any extra humidity or anything. I keep mine outside in the shade in moderate climate but my point is I think you’d be pleasantly surprised. 😃
Silver Bay is absolutely gorgeous. Sorry. You're just wrong on that one. The reason you think of doctor's offices and your grandma is because they're so easy. That's a good thing. I gotta laugh at the bashing of the easy, common plants when you've spent so much money on these rare ones that all show up dead. Silver Bay's gonna stand the test of time and STILL be around 10 years from now and most of these rare expensive plants people are wasting their money on are going to be long dead and gone.
We all pick and choose what’s in our collections, these are just opinions on her view point. She’s not stopping people from buying them nor is she stopping the production of any of these plants. Just opinions, no matter the price point on plants, we buy them because they bring us joy. Price goes up and down in plants, just like the joy it may bring u now compared to later. If anything this is this is a light hearted funny video. 🙂
But isn’t it interesting how we all have “feelings” when we walk through the plant section. We all skip over the ones we don’t care for. Especially if I’ve had one and it died, then I don’t like it. Some just don’t appeal to me and truthfully I embrace that because I already have too many plants so I celebrate that I don’t want to bring it home. 🤣🤣🤣
My Gloriosum is struggling too! Came to me with spider mites, all of the new leaves rip when they unfurl, and now it’s just losing leaves. If it hadn’t been a gift I would have thrown it away by now 😅
What you don’t like bromeliads I’m shocked! (If this wasn’t on the list I’ll be shocked) I don’t particularly like FLF, crotons, the wandering people plants (don’t know how to spell that of the top of my head) i also hate plants that die when I want to love them Omg… I should wait to comment till the end… your right my stupid gloriosum never has more then 2 leaves… I’m about to chop mine it’s 12” long empty stem 🐇 🐰 🐇
one of my least favorite types of plants are philodendron prince of orange, moonlight, rojo congo etc, simply because the colors and how they grow give me an actual sinus headache lol
Same!!! The only reason I didn't put them on this list is because they were on the last one! But I say all the time how much I hate the way they grow. I have a few, I'm not gonna throw them away, but most were left at my mom's. She's loves the Birkin and prince of orange I left her 🤷🏻♀️ I kept my moonlight and my congo, the moonlight grows slower at least and stays bushier for me!
I have had gorgeous tradescantia -- but they never stay that way for long. I think they didn't like living indoors in my environment, and I don't have a yard or warm temps year-round. I also think I'm "over" prayer plants except my Ctenanthe. Those are the only variety that thrive for me.
I love these types of videos! So interesting to see how every plant parent has different opinions! I defo agreed with you about a lot on your list! I do like an aglaonema though, the silver bay is alright but there are loads of gorgeous (usually silver imo) ones out there :)
I'm sorry your gloriosum is disappointing for you. From my experience, they are really thirsty and hungry so they grow the best in semi hydro with good nutrient solution. You can also pot it in soil in a self-watering pot. But the terracotta with chunky mix is probably too dry for the poor guy and that's why he can't hold on to more than two leaves at a time. It generally applies to all terrestrial philos (at least the ones I have, something like ten species). In nature they grow on the bottom of the rainforest so you can assume they are used to much more nutrients and water than epiphytic ones. I recommend the blog post "The Philo Philes" by Jay Vannini, he really explains a lot about philodendron nature.
Thanks for the tips!! I definitely noticed she's thirsty and hungry, I don't think the thrips in the old greenhouse and then the spider mites in the new one have helped her thrive either. But I haven't given up!!!
My saying goes like this: "I never met a plant I didn't like, but plenty don't like me". If I don't have luck with a plant the first time, I will sometimes try it again, two and three times. If I still fail, after all that, then I am not meant to have it in my collection, however, I still appreciate that others can grow it. I even try plants that I don't find aesthetically pleasing because sometimes the act of growing them changes my mind, particularly rescue plants...with mealy bugs. This happened to me with Hoyas. I think that if I were a planty TH-camr, I would title this "Plants That Don't Like Me"; keeps the emotionality out of it. People are invested and do get upset if you don't like their Little Johnny.
OK...we agree on some, not on others. After trying out the airplants, calatheas and tradescantias, I quickly learned I hate them. They grow ugly, nothing like the photos I've seen online. I'm ready to just trashed them and make room for more hoyas! However unlike you, I love the rabbit's foot fern (although I killed mine) and crotons. 😆🐇🐇🐇🐰🐰🐰
I'm with you on most of these for the same reasons. Marantas fall on my list. I don't get the hype and find their growth style and leaf pattern unnerving.
I really like my tradescantia but I may have to give up on them just because they grow sooooo fast, they can get nice and bushy if you keep up with trimming them but at this point I don’t have the will to trim them every 2 weeks 😂 I don’t hate a ton of plants but birkins can just go in the bin lmao. And I actually agree with you on the silver bay, by all accounts I should like it but I just dont 😅 I think it’s something about that specific shade of green next to silver that looks odd to me.
That's exactly why I gave up on mine. I couldn't keep up with propagating it and I couldn't get the watering right 🤦🏻♀️ And I'm glad someone finally agrees with me on the silver bay, lol. I feel the same way, like I should like it, but I just don't! I want to like it! 🤣
the only plants i like from this list are the Rabbit's foot fern and the Silver Bay . I don't like Bromeliads, I dislike crawling Philos. and absolutely hate the Glochids on Opuntias
The Fern has cute foliage, and I love Aglaonema! These just don't do it for me! It's good to know what you like and don't like though, so you don't fall into trendy plant traps!
You’re a monster! (jk) lol How could you not love gloriosums lol this morning I was actually thinking of mine and how much I’m loving it right now bc it’s a beauty! 🙃 I’m going to make sure I don’t play this video out loud… she might hear you and get her feelings hurt 😂 but other than that, I’m 100% on board with all the others you mentioned 🤢 also! What do you think about a chenille plant???
I love the Gloriosum, just not how she's been growing for me, haha! The chenille plant is cool and weird. I was just saying last time I saw one that I couldn't decide if it was uncomfortable or awesome 🙃
I really enjoy my crotons, although they do terrible in my home. I keep them on my back patio where they are much happier and give a tropical flare. A plant family I cannot stand ANY species is begonia. I think they are the ugliest things and so needy. Most of this list you have I agree with in part; I think bromeliads and tradescantia look better outdoors, I have tradescantia in my garden beds that does well as a ground cover. As houseplants they are kinda leggy and unattractive. Most philos, monstera and anthurium are not my thing, either. I have 60+ plants and not one from these genera.
I wholeheartedly agree with your list. I will add Rhaphidaphora tetrasperma. What a mess. Mine is a tangled mess. Individual leaves, beautiful. Growth pattern, no.
I don’t like the geogenanthus, small leafed Hoya (I struggle w them), airplants and bromeliads (I kill ‘em all), tiny leafed pilea or peperomia, or tradescantia. I can’t stand tiny leaves falling everywhere. I love calathea but I’m not going to buy anymore once the 3 I have die. They need too much water for me, and no circulating air around them. It’s too much. I can’t grow croton either but my mother in law had a HUGE 4ft one! It lives on the front porch in late spring til early fall. I bought her a grow light for it in the winter so it won’t drop as many leaves. But she’s the only person I know to ever grow one so big. Lol
Great list! I low key don't like most of what you listed. But the CROTONS...what about the annoying, nonsensical LEAF DROPPING! I had the WORST experience with them. NEVER again will I buy them. Thanks again for your video and I am now subscribed to your fun, informative channel.
Definitely a Silver Bay, I bought one and give it away In a week. The Philo Birkin and Pink Princess will never make my wish list and Draceanas are boring
I feel like I'd end up doing the same thing lol. Sometimes you get them home and it's just not as cute. This was oddly the most controversial plant on the list 😅
Never liked Burkin or the Rhaphidophora Hayi. It reminds me of when you see poison ivy that’s growing up a tree Never understood the hype either of those plants. Agree about all Tradescantia. They just are so scraggly looking. Hoyas I think most people love them or hate them. I’m a lover! Have you seen the video from Knot Dude about flat mites on Hoya?? Watched today kinda freaked me out, so now when I get home I will be like a mama monkey picking and checking her babies for bugs. LOL
I did see about the flat mites! I have learned over the years that there's no use getting stressed over pests. Just do the necessary steps and you'll be alright!! Oh and I don't like the Philo Birkin either, lol.
Oh Jaclynn....you silly Gloriosum disliker. I agree with all of them on your list except for the Gloriosum. You can put her on a pole. I have mine on one. They obviously don't want to grow that way naturally, but for the sake of space, you can train them to grow up. Mine seems happy 🤷♀ I am sure the Karens will have something to say about it, but ya know.....
Hahaha, I tried and she grew past it 🤣 I'm just gonna let her do whatever she wants as long as she looks good doing it. She's beautiful, but she's been a real pain in the as* 🙃
@@jaclynns.jungle That's how I feel about my Decursiva or how ever you spell it. It's in this big long ugly pot. I'm over it. 😒 Love the plant itself but hate how it grows.
I love the croton I've had one for 5years and I have the skinner one for 3 years beside my Is collection of over 100 plants 🪴 not judge we all have different tastes
Cannot tell you how much I appreciate this video. Several of these are on my dislike list, and you are hilarious voicing opinions I share. But how about we share top ten common plants we enjoy?
Thanks love!! I'm glad you enjoy it! Was definitely meant to be fun and light hearted 😊 I've done my favorite common plants before, but it's been a while, so I'm happy to do an update! 🥰
Only one that I can honestly say I would never buy and would probably purposefully neglect just to get rid of it if I was ever to be given one, would be Fiddle leaf fig. I just don't get the hype they are ugly hard to keep alive and yeah not for me.
I don’t like string of plants. And I don’t like teeny tiny plants that have microscopic leaves; I hate tiny leaf plants lol and finally I don’t like Hoyas! Lol except the Obavata I think that one is adorable and I’m dying to get one lol
I think the Gloriosum knows you don’t like it. 😂 I have baby that’s out grown yours. Why is it growing up toward the sky? I love my crawlers, so easy so beautiful 💚 I don’t care for the Silver Bay either but love the colors of other Anglo’s. I just cut the Dubia an stick it in water under grow light. They root fast an easy. 💚🐇🐇🐇
Tradescantia is basically a weed here in Florida. So, I don't care for them either. I don't like Bromeliads either. dont like African violets...dont @ me for that lol.
Hahaha! I never liked AVs either, but they grew on me when I saw the variegated ones. My taste changes all the time! That's part of what makes these videos fun for me, and collecting plants! A year from now I may chage my mind, look back and laugh 😄
Please, please do a video on hoya that grow stupid, or won’t grow. Hoya meredithii, I’m looking at YOU! As for this video, yes. Agree with everything except for the silver bay. I’ll never own the plants mentioned ever again. 🐰
Bromeliad had to be first for you, you didn't disappoint!🥰. What is the plant on the self,at your right side,ear level? Looks like a String of turtles with huge leaves. I love it!💞
You think all those creatures at the bottom of the ocean are cute too? No, nature makes ugly stuff sometimes. Everything doesn't need to be rainbows and sunshine, everyone doesn't need a participation award, and some plants are ugly. 🤷🏻♀️
I love croton. Love the colors. I bring mine in every fall & put it back out in spring. Also love the common flowering bromliads. Not a fan of most hoya, scindapsis & totally dislike shingling plants. It's a good thing we all like different things or life would be boring. As long as we like the plants we have, all is good. 😊
I say that all the time! How boring would it be if we all liked the same plants?!
I'm gonna defend my plants because you always bash my favorites. Love bromeliads. They're super easy and adaptable. Spiders don't live in them, but tree frogs often lay their tadpoles/eggs in the cups in their native environments. That's super cool.

Mine's just started having the feet come out of the pot and I am here for it. Love that plant. The Latin name is Davalia Feejensis (they're from Fiji).
I LOVE crotons! I don't care if I'm the only one. My Petra is stunning. The pillow texture is so cool. The colors are so wild. They're really not hard like people think as long as you have a sunny spot for them. I get that colors can be a lot, but I think they're stunning.
and I already went off about the silver bay, so I'll leave that alone. 🤣
No hate. You're honestly one of my favorite plant tubers and people have different tastes, but damn girl, your plants I don't like videos always get me riled up because it's always some of my favorite plants. 🐰
Haha, my friend, you take it too personal and too serious 🤣
They're just plants!! I don't get mad at folks who don't like Hoya 🤷🏻♀️
I love all bromeliads silver bay and my crotons are huge! My rabbits foot ferns are a joy.
I don’t own one, but I like crotons too. I could definitely see myself picking one up in the future! I think that I’m a little picky with plants, but the colours are just gorgeous.
@@jaclynns.jungle I'm not mad about it. and I'm not taking it personal. I'm giving my opinion just like you did.
Crotons and bromeliads are not ugly but they are annuals to me. They serve their purpose for a month or two then it’s in the trash. Crotons are nice along with harvest decor in front porch but after thanksgiving in the compost bin they go. They are not houseplants in my books.
Why isn't rabbit's foot fern called tarantula foot fern? Because that's what those "feet" look like. They don't bother me, but I can see how a lot of people find them a bit gross.

Tradescantia are lovely in my opinion and I’m more than willing to work with mine because I just think it’s so adorable. I have pruned mine back so much which has made it fuller and I always put the cuttings back in the pot so it’s not so leggy.

It was getting a bit leggy so I had to cut it back the other day which gave me enough cuttings for a whole new plant ❤
Opuntias never get in my house. I had one decades ago, and I got those pesky tiny thorns (glochids) in my fingers - in the kitchen! The Opuntia was sitting two rooms away! Never had those since.

Number 7 I totally agree with. I was at a local nursery & when I went to pick up a plant my hand ran right into a Hairy Opuntia that was hidden behind a bigger plant. Never hated a plant more than that horrible cactus!
It's such a nightmare pulling them all out 😬
I don't keep plants long that have leaves that turn yellow or brown & constantly have to be cleaned up to look good. I just don't have time for them. ( and I so wanted to keep loving Nanook tradescantia). Ha. The other plants I can't deal with are ones that hurt me. I will never again own an opuntia or many other mean ass cactus.i do however love most succulents that are friendly to repot. I have kept Hoyas for 40 years and they definitely are my fav plants.
Hoya are the best!!
I dislike cane begonias. They grow stupid. They always get leggy and floppy. I generally don't like any plants that have to be staked on a pole or trained on a board. It's so impractical. You can't keep growing it up a pole forever. Total pain in the ass. Or the shingling plants? What are you gonna do when it gets to the top of the board? Glue another one on it? No thank you. I should be able to put a plant in a pot and it grows. Period.
I also am so over the dracaena trees. Except for my dragon tree, all the other ones get brown crispy tips and the leaves never fully develop. I thought they were supposed to be easy, but maybe they just need more humidity in my environment, but I'm over them.
The trick to propagating tradescantia is just stick the cuttings in soil and start watering, You can completely skip the water/spaghnum, etc. with those.

@@jaclynns.jungle Agreed. I think I'm just gonna cut off the straggly parts. I feel the same way about rex begonias and calatheas. They HAVE to be right next to a humidifier in my environment, but they're worth it to me.

I have 3 Aglaonema, and love the ones I have but had the Silver bay and it was not my favorite and so it died. I have never gotten a shingling plant and not really a fan of those. I had 3 Croton and loved the ones I had but they became so difficult to keep alive so I don't know if I will ever get any again. I do have the buy 3 rule, if I get a plant and it dies I might buy it again and if it dies again I will only buy it 3 times after that I am done with that plant forever, lol! Thanks for this great video, sending love and hugs, you are just the sweetest, bye for now. 😂🥰🤗😻💜💜💜
I think Croton do better outside. I had a hard time keeping mine happy indoors in the winter. But they also look nicer outside, in my opinion!!
Hope you have a great day Holly! ☺️🥰
what is the hoya on the shelf on the left (your right?)
My Hoya mathilde!! Everyone keeps asking! She's gorgeous 😍
Yes please a video of difficult Hoyas would be great. Also I have a Silver Bay in my living room and I love her, sorry that you don't have the same feeling.
Definitely working on the Hoya video! Feel free to share your difficult babes in my recent community post ☺️
I had to laugh when you said Aglaonema Silver Bay! On Facebook you asked us to put our favorite plants and I put my aglaonema Silver Bay and you said you didn't like it. I just started laughing because you said it a hundred times in your videos that you didn't like it. 🤦♀️🤣 I do agree with this list! I've tried most of what was on this list and realized they're just not for me. I didn't even like Hoyas but then I went to my brother's house and he had my mother's Crimson Queen and I fell in love. He let me cut a couple pieces off and now I have it growing. My mom passed in 2014. And now thanks to you I have 50 hoyas. I just lost my elliptica, rip. And if you have any sometime I will get one. I love your Channel and your personality. If I was to be a TH-camr I would sound like you. 💚🪴🙋♀️🎃 that fast I forgot which Emoji I was supposed to leave. 🤣🤣🤣
You can always count on me to be honest! 🤣
I really want to like all the Aglaonema, but I just don't 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you for pointing out all the thorns in my side. AKA Plants on the way out. Other then the Aglaonema (I never see them here.) As for rooting up shingle plants, chop in 2 node cuttings and place on damp sphagnum Moss, in a propagation box (I use food containers with clear lids.) 🐰🐇🐰🐇🐰🐇🐰🐇🐰🐇🦶
I will definitely try two nodes instead of one and see if that helps! Thanks for the tip! 😊
I agree with ALL of your choices! Tried them all-many multiple times, and learned when to give up. I am a big calathea fan and have somehow learned how to keep all 12 different species of mine thriving. I do agree though, that the ones with pink, like roseopicta, are near impossible to keep happy. I do have a question-why are people so nuts about Hoyas? They are so bland to me. Would love to hear why people love them.
I didn't understand the Hoya hype either until I finally got myself a Carnosa Krimson Queen and I fell in love. The leaves are just so unique, and if you like a trailing plant, there are some seriously gorgeous options! They are weird sometimes, but they are also really cool sometimes too, especially the blooms! There's so many different Hoya there really is something for everyone! I enjoy how low maintenance they are as well and the cute baby ones are just, well, addicting 😅
But everyone is different and that's okay!! I like to try out different Genera all the time, so when I finally gave Hoya a shot, it didn't take long before I was hooked! 😊
I love hoyas mainly for their leaves, not the blooms. Each one is a bit different than the other. Some have gorgeous veining, or splashes, or variegation that I love to see. Others look crinkly. I love hoyas! 😄 Thanks for asking!
@@merkuri7 couldn't have said it better myself!! ☺️
Didn't like them in the beginning but they have some serious very nice leaves and the blooms are an extra. I say always there"'s a hoya for everyone they 're so different that anyone at least could like one of them.
This was so fun to watch! 🐰
I mostly agreed with your choices except for two: I have more of a tolerance for crawlers but I definitely understand the struggle. I put them in long planters/window boxes because I have a gloriosum and a pastazanum and I really do love them.
Also, I adore tradescantia!!! The purple foliage is just so gorgeous and I love growing them trailing. I also actually find them really easy to propagate just in water if you ever decide to try again!
I agree that it took me a while to get used to the care, and I had to go through my share of crispy leaves, but I think I have it down now and I love them. I totally get that they’re not for everyone though.
I fully agreed with everything else in your list!! Again, what a fun video to do. I love hearing peoples opinions and I’ve always wondered what kind of people actually like crotons 🤣🤣 (no shame if anyone does, I just never understood the appeal haha!)
Ohh I forgot that I actually like rabbits foot ferns too. I don’t have one because I feel like I’d kill it but I think the fuzzy tarantula legs are cool 😂
I love that people love different plants!! I think tradescantia looks good in other people's homes, I just didn't love having it in mine. And I'm always saying to just have plants you love, we don't need them all, right?! Haha!
@@jaclynns.jungle yes, exactly!
You definitely should try the rabbits foot fern. I did and found out it’s was easy for me. Didn’t need any extra humidity or anything. I keep mine outside in the shade in moderate climate but my point is I think you’d be pleasantly surprised. 😃
Silver Bay is absolutely gorgeous. Sorry. You're just wrong on that one. The reason you think of doctor's offices and your grandma is because they're so easy. That's a good thing. I gotta laugh at the bashing of the easy, common plants when you've spent so much money on these rare ones that all show up dead. Silver Bay's gonna stand the test of time and STILL be around 10 years from now and most of these rare expensive plants people are wasting their money on are going to be long dead and gone.
It's not personal lmao, I just don't like how it looks. I have more common plants over rare ones. Is this your first video? I talk about this a lot...
We all pick and choose what’s in our collections, these are just opinions on her view point. She’s not stopping people from buying them nor is she stopping the production of any of these plants. Just opinions, no matter the price point on plants, we buy them because they bring us joy. Price goes up and down in plants, just like the joy it may bring u now compared to later. If anything this is this is a light hearted funny video. 🙂
False.
But isn’t it interesting how we all have “feelings” when we walk through the plant section. We all skip over the ones we don’t care for. Especially if I’ve had one and it died, then I don’t like it. Some just don’t appeal to me and truthfully I embrace that because I already have too many plants so I celebrate that I don’t want to bring it home. 🤣🤣🤣
Nope she not wrong, I don’t like it either. How boring if we all liked the same things? I do like many of the other colors. 💚
🐰🐰🐰🐰 girl I am coming around to your point of view on croton and poinsettia. Quickly, in fact. Also a video on p.i.t.a. Hoyas would be great.
Haha, Croton never bothered me at first, but the more I see it the more it hurts my eyes 🙈
My Gloriosum is struggling too! Came to me with spider mites, all of the new leaves rip when they unfurl, and now it’s just losing leaves. If it hadn’t been a gift I would have thrown it away by now 😅
Hahaha, same! She's so pretty when she's happy though, just wish she'd get it together!!
I tried so hard to love tradescantia but what the hell is wrong with the way it grows. Idk... But Im done with them too!
What you don’t like bromeliads I’m shocked! (If this wasn’t on the list I’ll be shocked) I don’t particularly like FLF, crotons, the wandering people plants (don’t know how to spell that of the top of my head) i also hate plants that die when I want to love them
Omg… I should wait to comment till the end… your right my stupid gloriosum never has more then 2 leaves… I’m about to chop mine it’s 12” long empty stem
🐇 🐰 🐇
Wandering people 🤣🤣
one of my least favorite types of plants are philodendron prince of orange, moonlight, rojo congo etc, simply because the colors and how they grow give me an actual sinus headache lol
Same!!! The only reason I didn't put them on this list is because they were on the last one! But I say all the time how much I hate the way they grow. I have a few, I'm not gonna throw them away, but most were left at my mom's. She's loves the Birkin and prince of orange I left her 🤷🏻♀️
I kept my moonlight and my congo, the moonlight grows slower at least and stays bushier for me!
I agree with alot of these and want to add pony tail palms to the list 😁 and the purple passion plant.
Haha, not a big fan of the purple passion either, but I let it slide bc purple is my favorite color 💜
I love the description "dumb". Lol
Sometimes they just look dumb 🤷🏻♀️😅
I do like the crotons that look like fire. There's are crinoline, twisty and all kinds of red, orange colors. But, that is the only one.
I think that's the one I had!!
@@jaclynns.jungle 🤣🤣🤣
I love hate Hoyas 😁💢💢💢
Hahaha! I totally feel that 😅
I have had gorgeous tradescantia -- but they never stay that way for long. I think they didn't like living indoors in my environment, and I don't have a yard or warm temps year-round. I also think I'm "over" prayer plants except my Ctenanthe. Those are the only variety that thrive for me.
p.s. I like to see videos on harder-to-grow hoyas....so I know what to avoid. I don't want a grow tent or Ikea cabinet. :)
I love these types of videos! So interesting to see how every plant parent has different opinions! I defo agreed with you about a lot on your list! I do like an aglaonema though, the silver bay is alright but there are loads of gorgeous (usually silver imo) ones out there :)
There are definitely cuter Aglaonema out there! It's funny how we can like silver plants so much, but just not that one 😅
I'm sorry your gloriosum is disappointing for you. From my experience, they are really thirsty and hungry so they grow the best in semi hydro with good nutrient solution. You can also pot it in soil in a self-watering pot. But the terracotta with chunky mix is probably too dry for the poor guy and that's why he can't hold on to more than two leaves at a time. It generally applies to all terrestrial philos (at least the ones I have, something like ten species). In nature they grow on the bottom of the rainforest so you can assume they are used to much more nutrients and water than epiphytic ones. I recommend the blog post "The Philo Philes" by Jay Vannini, he really explains a lot about philodendron nature.
Thanks for the tips!! I definitely noticed she's thirsty and hungry, I don't think the thrips in the old greenhouse and then the spider mites in the new one have helped her thrive either. But I haven't given up!!!
I would love to see that hoya video about harder to grow hoyas!
I'm definitely working on it!! I asked you guys too on a community post, if you have any that are particularly difficult 🙃
My saying goes like this: "I never met a plant I didn't like, but plenty don't like me". If I don't have luck with a plant the first time, I will sometimes try it again, two and three times. If I still fail, after all that, then I am not meant to have it in my collection, however, I still appreciate that others can grow it. I even try plants that I don't find aesthetically pleasing because sometimes the act of growing them changes my mind, particularly rescue plants...with mealy bugs. This happened to me with Hoyas. I think that if I were a planty TH-camr, I would title this "Plants That Don't Like Me"; keeps the emotionality out of it. People are invested and do get upset if you don't like their Little Johnny.
The word hate gets more clicks and engagement
@@jaclynns.jungle, true, I considered that!
There’s a couple plants out there I wouldn’t buy a lot you listed 😅🐰🐇
OK...we agree on some, not on others. After trying out the airplants, calatheas and tradescantias, I quickly learned I hate them. They grow ugly, nothing like the photos I've seen online. I'm ready to just trashed them and make room for more hoyas! However unlike you, I love the rabbit's foot fern (although I killed mine) and crotons. 😆🐇🐇🐇🐰🐰🐰
Omg you like Croton, really? That's it. Deal breaker. We can't be friends.
😋😊🥰😅🤗
@@jaclynns.jungle Girl, you’re stuck with me! Crotons or not! 😂🤣😂🤣😂
I'm with you on most of these for the same reasons. Marantas fall on my list. I don't get the hype and find their growth style and leaf pattern unnerving.
I love hearing how other plants bother people, haha! It's so interesting to see how different we all are 😊
I totally agree with you about the Rabbit Foot Fern
It's weird lol
I really like my tradescantia but I may have to give up on them just because they grow sooooo fast, they can get nice and bushy if you keep up with trimming them but at this point I don’t have the will to trim them every 2 weeks 😂 I don’t hate a ton of plants but birkins can just go in the bin lmao. And I actually agree with you on the silver bay, by all accounts I should like it but I just dont 😅 I think it’s something about that specific shade of green next to silver that looks odd to me.
That's exactly why I gave up on mine. I couldn't keep up with propagating it and I couldn't get the watering right 🤦🏻♀️
And I'm glad someone finally agrees with me on the silver bay, lol. I feel the same way, like I should like it, but I just don't! I want to like it! 🤣
You ought to have the t-shirt that says the refrain "I'm fine..everything is fine"...it's online.
I do have one, haha!
the only plants i like from this list are the Rabbit's foot fern and the Silver Bay . I don't like Bromeliads, I dislike crawling Philos. and absolutely hate the Glochids on Opuntias
The Fern has cute foliage, and I love Aglaonema! These just don't do it for me! It's good to know what you like and don't like though, so you don't fall into trendy plant traps!
🤗❤💚🍀☘🌱🌿Hugs adorable plant fam. 🐇🐰🐇🐰🐇😉🤣
☺️🤗🙃
🐇 I agree with all of your choices except I like the Aglaonema Silver Bay. I do "hate" the Mother of Thousands/ hundreds and millions.
I think those are so cute! Haha! I love how different we all are! 🥰
You’re a monster! (jk) lol
How could you not love gloriosums lol this morning I was actually thinking of mine and how much I’m loving it right now bc it’s a beauty! 🙃 I’m going to make sure I don’t play this video out loud… she might hear you and get her feelings hurt 😂 but other than that, I’m 100% on board with all the others you mentioned 🤢 also! What do you think about a chenille plant???
I love the Gloriosum, just not how she's been growing for me, haha! The chenille plant is cool and weird. I was just saying last time I saw one that I couldn't decide if it was uncomfortable or awesome 🙃
@@jaclynns.jungle I can’t touch them 😂 they feel weird…
I really enjoy my crotons, although they do terrible in my home. I keep them on my back patio where they are much happier and give a tropical flare. A plant family I cannot stand ANY species is begonia. I think they are the ugliest things and so needy. Most of this list you have I agree with in part; I think bromeliads and tradescantia look better outdoors, I have tradescantia in my garden beds that does well as a ground cover. As houseplants they are kinda leggy and unattractive. Most philos, monstera and anthurium are not my thing, either. I have 60+ plants and not one from these genera.
Most of those do look better outside, Ferns too! I'd be curious what you DO have in your indoor collection!
@@jaclynns.jungle hoya, cacti, euphorbia, and orchids. I have two ficus elastica and an aglaonema in the mix, but those are my only outliers.
@@ShadowNight-kt3dz I love all of those and have many myself! ☺️
I wholeheartedly agree with your list. I will add Rhaphidaphora tetrasperma. What a mess. Mine is a tangled mess. Individual leaves, beautiful. Growth pattern, no.
Omg yes! I hate how that thing grows!!
I don’t like the geogenanthus, small leafed Hoya (I struggle w them), airplants and bromeliads (I kill ‘em all), tiny leafed pilea or peperomia, or tradescantia. I can’t stand tiny leaves falling everywhere. I love calathea but I’m not going to buy anymore once the 3 I have die. They need too much water for me, and no circulating air around them. It’s too much.
I can’t grow croton either but my mother in law had a HUGE 4ft one! It lives on the front porch in late spring til early fall. I bought her a grow light for it in the winter so it won’t drop as many leaves. But she’s the only person I know to ever grow one so big. Lol
The only one I dont argee with is Tradescantia zebrina. I love the purple and how full it looks
It's cute when it's lush!
I totally agree with the rabbit foot fern.
I can't get behind it.
Yaaaaaay! I have plants i hate too and obssessed with hoya haha
Hoya are the best 🤷🏻♀️
Yes to them all!!!
Great list! I low key don't like most of what you listed. But the CROTONS...what about the annoying, nonsensical LEAF DROPPING! I had the WORST experience with them. NEVER again will I buy them. Thanks again for your video and I am now subscribed to your fun, informative channel.
That's because Croton are awful, haha. They do much better outdoors! And I'm happy to have you here! Welcome to the fam 😊
I agree about the rabbit foot fern and tradescantia. I’m afraid of both of those. Lol 🐇
Haha! I want to like them 🤷🏻♀️
Definitely a Silver Bay, I bought one and give it away In a week. The Philo Birkin and Pink Princess will never make my wish list and Draceanas are boring
I feel like I'd end up doing the same thing lol. Sometimes you get them home and it's just not as cute. This was oddly the most controversial plant on the list 😅
Never liked Burkin or the Rhaphidophora Hayi. It reminds me of when you see poison ivy that’s growing up a tree Never understood the hype either of those plants. Agree about all Tradescantia. They just are so scraggly looking.
Hoyas I think most people love them or hate them. I’m a lover! Have you seen the video from Knot Dude about flat mites on Hoya?? Watched today kinda freaked me out, so now when I get home I will be like a mama monkey picking and checking her babies for bugs. LOL
I did see about the flat mites! I have learned over the years that there's no use getting stressed over pests. Just do the necessary steps and you'll be alright!! Oh and I don't like the Philo Birkin either, lol.
I agree on each one!
Sometimes we just don't like the plant, haha!
Oh Jaclynn....you silly Gloriosum disliker. I agree with all of them on your list except for the Gloriosum. You can put her on a pole. I have mine on one. They obviously don't want to grow that way naturally, but for the sake of space, you can train them to grow up. Mine seems happy 🤷♀ I am sure the Karens will have something to say about it, but ya know.....
Hahaha, I tried and she grew past it 🤣 I'm just gonna let her do whatever she wants as long as she looks good doing it. She's beautiful, but she's been a real pain in the as* 🙃
@@jaclynns.jungle That's how I feel about my Decursiva or how ever you spell it. It's in this big long ugly pot. I'm over it. 😒 Love the plant itself but hate how it grows.
@@TheBookNook0826 Uh oh. I just bought a decursiva from a nursery that was closing its doors for good. I hope I don't end up hating it. 😄
@@merkuri7 it's a beautiful plant! I just hate having to have it in a long planter. If you can start yours in a pole you can train it to grow up too 😉
@@TheBookNook0826 I'll do that! Thanks for the tip! 😀
I love the croton I've had one for 5years and I have the skinner one for 3 years beside my Is collection of over 100 plants 🪴 not judge we all have different tastes
I'm glad you enjoy them!! All plants need love 😊
You didn’t mention rex begonias ❤here’s your rabbit 🐇 🦶
Because I really like the look of them, they're just annoying to keep, haha! I have one 🤣
Cannot tell you how much I appreciate this video. Several of these are on my dislike list, and you are hilarious voicing opinions I share. But how about we share top ten common plants we enjoy?
Thanks love!! I'm glad you enjoy it! Was definitely meant to be fun and light hearted 😊
I've done my favorite common plants before, but it's been a while, so I'm happy to do an update! 🥰
Only one that I can honestly say I would never buy and would probably purposefully neglect just to get rid of it if I was ever to be given one, would be Fiddle leaf fig. I just don't get the hype they are ugly hard to keep alive and yeah not for me.
👯♀️👯♂️👯♀️👯♂️👯♀️👯♂️🐰🐇
I think the general plant community is pretty split with that one. It's a love/hate thing, for sure. Mines dead 🤣
I don’t like string of plants. And I don’t like teeny tiny plants that have microscopic leaves; I hate tiny leaf plants lol and finally I don’t like Hoyas! Lol except the Obavata I think that one is adorable and I’m dying to get one lol
Not the Silver Bay!! 😔 lolol
Haha, sorry!! I don't know why, I just really dislike how it looks 🤷🏻♀️
I think the Gloriosum knows you don’t like it. 😂 I have baby that’s out grown yours. Why is it growing up toward the sky? I love my crawlers, so easy so beautiful 💚 I don’t care for the Silver Bay either but love the colors of other Anglo’s. I just cut the Dubia an stick it in water under grow light. They root fast an easy. 💚🐇🐇🐇
Haha, omg she's beautiful! I love her leaves, I just want her to do something!!!! She's been through a lot, but I've been trying to get her happy!
Gee, how appreciative you are to whomever sent you that plant you hate….smh
I think you missed the point lol
A few are not in my home but some others I don’t mind 💚🌱☘️🌵the 🐰is the one I will not have again
💚🌱🌵☘️
I heard they're also hard to care for. Another reason I won't get one lol
Absolutely rabbit foot fern gross me out. Makes me grit my teeth.
They're so creepy!
hey!!! Silver Bay kinda hurt😕
I know a lot of people like that one, I just can't get on board, lol. Love Aglaonema though!! 😊
Not a croton fan. Killed a couple. Will not buy again.
Rabbit Foot Fern’s are very cool, although definitely look like tarantula legs 😵💫
The foliage on the Fern is beautiful, but those rhizomes, or whatever they are, are not okay with me 😅
Hello Birkin, I do not like that plant!! Silver sword is wonky,but the leaves are nice.
I can't even argue with that 🤣
Wandering jew (tradacantia) hope i spelt it correct is an invasive plant in my country if u plant outside you cant get rid of it.
That's not surprising, it grows very fast!
💚
I don’t think there are any plants I don’t like.
I just like to ruffle people's feathers a little bit 😋
Same here.
🐇
Tradescantia is basically a weed here in Florida. So, I don't care for them either. I don't like Bromeliads either. dont like African violets...dont @ me for that lol.
Hahaha! I never liked AVs either, but they grew on me when I saw the variegated ones. My taste changes all the time! That's part of what makes these videos fun for me, and collecting plants! A year from now I may chage my mind, look back and laugh 😄

It's okay to not liking some plants, but call them ugly isn't nice to Nature.😕
