I bought $100 Worth Of House Plants from Amazon

[@cubanchica314]

my wallet does not appreciate you telling me I can buy plants on amazon

[@michelea2326]

And walmart.com and etsy - good prices and good selection.

[@sonastysorude]

Much more painfully relatable than "I spent $1000 at (insert fast fashion store here)!"

did all millennials just collectively get into houseplants... because same

[@viviana9672]

Yes

[@Emi.Leppien]

I’d love to see a vid of you shopping for new pots for those bad boys!!! Omg and a “repotting with me” vid, are you kidding!!! That would be so fun. Plants are the best 🌱

[@jamiedejong9042]

"...I kill 'em all..." lol this made me laugh

[@gabyalva3478]

I prefer buying local because you can inspect the plant for bugs and all that Jazz. But I did get a variegated chain of hearts and it came in the mail perfect.

[@siobhansanguine289]

"What was it called...lady fungus?" 😂😂🤣🤣

[@sprightlysyndicate]

Fiddle leaf figs are kind of finicky. I killed 3 before I had success. They need bright, indirect light. I had to keep mine right next to the window, or under a patio. I think they are more tolerant of being dry, I feel like I hardly water mine and its good. Good luck with all your plants :)

[@chunk2689]

I so appreciate this because I knew they were finicky but holy wow I guess I watered way too much.

[@lagatitabruja]

@@chunk2689 aw yay. Yes I think you need to let it fully dry out before you water again. I think the bright indirect light is most important. I had mine in a room that got only morning light and it died almost immediately. I swear the more I neglected watering it was ok, but the minute I gave it too much water leaves started to drop! Good luck with your plant baby :)

[@caitlinwilson2523]

the rattlesnake calathea needs humidity, make sure you mist its leaves or leave a bowel of water next to it! The edges of the palm are totally normal!

[@ThisGrace92]

Caitlin Wilson i went to the comments to check is anyone had said this. Yes, the palm leaves being “chewed” is normal! The leaves just sometimes look like that, and browning at the tips of the older leaves is also normal and unavoidable. If the NEW leaves are brown then that’s when you might have some watering issues.

[@DarcieRichards]

So good that plants can be sent in the mail - it makes it really accessible to people who can't buy plants in store! But it's good to promote shopping local and supporting your local nurseries.

[@EmmaB_MD]

my boyfriend over heard "I don't know much, but I'm excited about plants" and asked if I related to that... and honestly yeah.. hardcore.

[@MarinaDoulis]

Jenna Marbles inspired my recent plant enthusiasm, I just got a few new succulents and an anthurium to add to my plant fam (:

[@pandaEMOx]

I'm broke so I just get cuttings from friends and others 😊

[@chunk2689]

Sometimess local places will also allow you to have leaves that fall to the ground. Like if you are often there and shop there. Build a relationship with them.

[@kim_bucha]

Love the plant content! There’s a plant store in Philly that I’ve been dying to check out. It’s called Urban Jungle? Sometimes I feel icky about supporting amazon, so usually I buy plants online from small suppliers-Etsy, Joshs Frogs, and Gabriella Plants are my favorites.

[@MaudeDslnrs]

GURL! peperomias are my jam! I have 4 different kinds now & I love them SO MUCH !! they are easy to care of & they are pretty! You're gonna have fun w/ them!

[@emmachantee]

I did a $50 plant haul and my cat immediately ate one of them 😭 it'll grow back but still, the struggle is real

[@baileywilson686]

Would love to see a video tour of where your plants are kept/ an update on how they’re doing!

[@amberthest]

just a fun fact in case anyone else doesn't know: if you put plants right up next to the glass of a window, they can get a sunburn! I didn't know why some of my plants were turning yellow/brown on the ends but they do better slightly farther back from the window. Also, i keep a cute little journal to write details about each type of plant i have, so as i learn new things i can add it (and ill know which ones want to be even farther away from the window lol)

[@hikikomorichi5283]

Quicknd in an apron.. you look sooo adorable😻 question: can you do a plant update/tour to see how the plants do after a while?

[@ashleynault4968]

If anyone is looking for budget succulents that are readily available Walmart as already potted ones in pretty good health for a great price(under $10 for a nice size planter)

[@99redloveballoons]

I needed this today. I have a plant obsession, but have basically ZERO light in my home. So this fed my inner plant monster. Also I will now be calling my friends "lady fungus" from here on.

[@itsxalannaxftw]

There are a lot of plants that are great for limited - no light. Try a ZZ plant!

[@ThePockyMonster]

ZZ plants and snake plants are the champions of my next-to-no-light living room

[@itsxalannaxftw]

@@ThePockyMonster Yes! I've had mine in my completely dark windowless bathroom for 6 months and he's growing new shoots. Once in a while I'll leave him in the living room for a day just to get a taste of sun but that's not really necessary.

[@ThePockyMonster]

Alanna Drzyzga my first ZZ lives in my kitchen which is the brightest room (still not bright light but hey) and he’s doubled in size over the almost-three months I’ve had him, I was shocked since everywhere I’ve looked said they grow slowly! I love him to bits.

[@jenmarie2030]

I live on the Washington coast. No light lotsa rain. Zz plant, you say?

[@masonmccabe1267]

The fiddle leaf fig 👀 I almost bought one the other day at Lowe’s but I was scared cuz they’re hard to care for 😂

[@kyojane9825]

Amazon is the DANGERZONE for me since i developed my obsession with plants, thanks Jenna Marbles love you hahahaha. I havn't had many bad experiences, everything seems so well packaged. I did have a problem with my beauuuuutiful begonia but it wasn't amazons fault the postman fucked up and it ended up sitting in the factory for like a whole week but STUNNINGLY it was still alive and kicking when i rescued her and she is now proudly growing new leaves.

[@amandal4357]

I bought two plants from a website called The Sill recently. They came really well packaged and have awesome little care cards with them. They were a good price too. I love the plant content ❤️

[@joyce2837]

my mom bought me a giant fiddle leaf fig from costco last year for $60. she said everyone and their mom was picking one up lol. mine lasted about 6 months before it just deteriorated :( good luck on ur bb!

[@RuberChikken]

My cat is obsessed with spider plants. He destroyed mine, I hung it and it actually grew back really well. Then he managed to destroy it again and now it’s getting better lol honestly the easiest plants I’ve taken care of.

[@biomar44]

Hello Q! Do you think is worth to pay no to so low prices for those plants, taking in consideration the amount of plastic and cardboard, and also how much your ecological fingerprint increases with the shipping process? I mean, I know u try to be more sustainable, so Im wondering about that. Love from Costa Rica

[@babybunnybelly6531]

I was just watching older videos to get my qcknd fix and then I saw this posted! Yes!

[@courtneyjones7582]

Love you 😊😊 I hope you enjoy your plants!! I recently got in to taking care of plants too! I have two fittonias and one prayer plant (both of which are cat safe to my knowledge but I still keep my cats away from them to avoid them becoming salads) they are relatively easy to take care of and don't need a lot of sun if you are looking for some that don't need direct sunlight 😊❤️

[@jenmarschka]

My brother sent me succulents off amazon for my birthday last year! They came in cute lil geometric planters in different shades of gray. V aesthetic. I killed one of them but the rest have held up so great!

[@VampireGirl1294]

Hey Amanda!
I’ve become so interested in plants this year.. I started a big collection of flowers. Unfortunately though, a lot of them died. They were extremely delicate and I didn’t have the items necessary nor the knowledge to fix them or bring them back to life. But nonetheless I tried again.. some survived. I wish I had my own little glass house where I could keep my plants.
I do love succulents as well I don’t know the names of them but I have one her name is Penelope she’s the type that gives me so many more little succulent babies.
I would love for you to make more plant videos. 🌸💕

[@bumtrip187]

The “fuzz”, or hair, on that succulent helps with heat regulation and to collect dew

[@alanmakesfilm5253]

Oh qcknd, you are always so explained and detailed. You were ripped off for sure, IKEA is THE place to go for plants, such great value and they are hugh

[@julienicole92]

Loved the video !! You are so funny :)

[@temptationwins]

Plants are an addiction. Truly.

[@temeryn3312]

Plants make me happy too =) there's just something about them. I keep mine outside on our balcony bc knats (we don't like them inside w/us, location is So Cal, we don't have real winter here). I don't usually buy plants. We usually inherit them from someone who doesn't want them anymore or find them in the trash and rescue them (living in a condo makes it easy to see what's being thrown away by neighbors). If I see a plant I like I will ask the owner if I can have a cutting, if a plant is on public land, like a park, I'll take a cutting, then put that in a glass of water until I see roots. Sometimes they live and grow and sometimes not. I usually end up with several of the same plants bc when trimming them I don't like to throw away the trimmings and will put them in a cup w/water and in a little bit I have another plant.

I'm so glad you said pet safe! After my mom passed away which was in the month of March I got arrangement with lilys. It was only in the house 5 minutes before my kitten took a big bite of a lily. She spent the next 48 hours at the vet to make sure her kidneys were not going to fail.

[@sharonacker6484]

Thank you your video on buying plants at Amazon was very helpful. I wish you had said something about the soil. I’ve purchased healthy looking plants although not from Amazon later to find out the soil had insects

"Was it called lady fungus?" 😂 No, I think you need to see a doctor for that Q.

[@EmilyEKey]

Hey Qcknd- fellow City Planter shopper here! A couple months ago they offered a "Houseplants 101" class that was perfect for someone just starting out (read: me). It was a couple hours on a Friday night and they went over the basics and you got to leave with a plant. Not sure if they'll offer it again, but keep an eye out for it! Maybe if enough people were interested they'd schedule another. Also, if you haven't heard of it, there's a Philly Plant Exchange facebook group- it's pretty entertaining and occasionally helpful!

[@Qcknd]

Oh wow! I love City Planter, I had no idea! I would love to attend something like that. Also another case that I wish I was on facebook. Whoops

[@marianna3253]

I've recently gotten into houseplants as well, just bought a rattle snake plant a few weeks ago 😁

[@sharonacker6484]

There are several online places you can buy live plants but they can be very expensive. I sometimes found the same plants at Lowe’s that look just as good and a lot cheaper and the plants healthy

Ooh I just got a peperomia and mine is pretty red! For sure suppose to be like that. My cats also love chewing the leaves... the struggle of cat/plant lovers. They don’t even want to eat them they just want to chew chew chew.

[@KatieSanvick]

i got a peperomia like yours like 5 years ago and it's now a monster! my oldest, most loved little guy, cant believe i didnt kill it. probably because you can forget it in a corner and it won't cry itself to sleep like every pothos ive ever owned -_-

[@moongirl1361]

“ What was it called again? lady fungus?” that part made me laugh so hard

[@javabeanstudio]

I just ordered my first plant from Amazon and the end of April! $22 for a pretty good sized snake plant, which has been difficult to find in my area. I gave up on trying to find one I liked at physical stores and took the gamble online. I also ordered one from Etsy, but that one was a little disappointing, it had very few leaves and one of them had been snapped in half long before they ever shipped it out, it was already scabbed over. I'm really happy with my Amazon plant, though!

Hey Qcknd, you could check out the book The New Plant Parent. I think you would appreciate it and it would help you out. Those care guides are a double edged sword, they can't know what environment your plants are experiencing.

[@bunnyfluffyfluffs]

hirt's is excellent and come quickly (no worms or snails in mine). i, too, order live plants on amazon. ordered one from lovely garden (amazon), it's been 11 days and still no plant. american plant exchange is also good. will try costa next. so far my favorite is hirts. just started to order from etsy. next i will order from ebay. air purifying plants are my addiction including variegated ones, too. i have furbabies and they are not interested in them *knocking on wood* learned to keep them in their nursery pot for 2 weeks while they acclimate to their new environment before repotting.

You should check out thesill.com, they have a bunch of nice plants and they come packaged with lots of care for a great price if you order them without the pots since the pots on that site can be pricey. I highly recommend them next time you're looking to order plants. Also I feel like the amazon plants you ordered were a bit overprice compared to ones around the same size from the sill's website.
