      Summer Rayne Oakes Summer, your friend is easily enjoyable (very peaceful energy; I can certainly understand why you two are friends). His goals are totally obtainable, and for the most part, his desire to incorporate plants into his space reflect what all who cohabitate with plants want. He’s lucky to have your expertise to bring his hopes to fruition. This was a thoroughly enjoyable video. It just goes to show that there’s NO need to be put-off by living in a concrete jungle, especially when living aside plants is an option. You both are charming 💜. Damon, the Chinese Evergreen is a lovely home Plant Damon, too. I invite you to take a second look - particularly at the nontraditional evergreens like the Red Siam (low-light, No fuss, lots of beauty) it’s a BONUS!

I would take home plants that looked unhealthy and grow them... I have a pothos that's 6 years old and Chinese evergreen 6 years old... Mini roses... About 5 years old ... Lots of herbs that return every year.... spider plants that I propagated... ribbon plants too...Love them. Wish I had a home like his.... I just got an aerogarden last year and it takes care of all my kitchen herbs over winter 😀

    That northeast exposure is a sweet spot for many plants. Worked in a hospital with that exposure and a central air windowsill that I grew ten orchid plants a money tree and several other plants. Those orchids bloomed non-stop. Really miss that place.

    Summer, I've recently discovered your channel.
    You've managed to produce one of the most captivating videos I've ever seen.
    Your knowledge, creativity, lovable personality and genuine enthusiasm speaks to the viewer.
    Your content, especially in this format, is unique, fun, informative, and deserves its own platform.
    I've just discovered your channel. Perhaps you've already taken it to the next level. That's where this belongs.
    I'd binge watch a season. Cheers!

    Wow Summer, this was fantastic :D So comprehensive. It's probably better to have started where you started (meaning not so many plants everywhere) probably more realistic for your friend to take care of (at least till he gets used to taking care of more plants), or whoever he gets to babysit since he's out of town a lot. You've definitely been making me take a second look at a lot of old standards like chinese evergreen and pothos. I just had to buy a Chinese Ming Fern - Asparagus macowanii, after you featured it on your 365day series :) This made me seriously think about getting added lights to certain areas of my home, it always felt too complicated but thru your explanation and instruction made me think it's not so complicated! Your enthusiasm and true love for plants, and your beautiful unfettered visual sense, just shows through and inspires in so many ways esp. to another apartment dweller grower like myself. Also the inspiration extends past growing, just living your life. Five stars! hehe So fun, love that coffee table sculpture vase too. I could go on and on! Thanks Summer!

    I love this video! You did such a wonderful job with Damon’s home! I’m definitely getting those grow lights for my kitchen since I have several pothos varieties and philodendron’s trailing down the sides of my cabinets. I’ve seen the Bio Orb before and I didn’t know where I would put it in my house. Seeing it next to Damon’s bed has inspired me to do the same!

    • @summerrayneoakes

      @@summerrayneoakes This video was exactly what I needed. I am a plant 'newbie' with similar lighting conditions (eastern exposure) and have recently purchased plants based on my schedule/watering tendencies and living space. I, too, selected rhipsalis micrantha, raven ZZ plant, philodendron hastatum (silver sword) and sansevieria masoniana (whale fin) ... among others. Glad to know my research/instincts were accurate. Your plant choices were spot on! I also selected a few haworthias and they are all doing well. Thank you. Will definitely look into purchasing the BR 30 Balanced Light LED spectrum lights.

    I live in cold and cloudy Michigan where light is dim 7 months of the year. I am very fortunate to have a southern facing sunroom with glass sliders floor to ceiling. I move most of my plants out into the sunroom during the spring/summer months (out of direct light.) I have had really good luck with my large aloe and a large Christmas cactus in my condo thus far. Although I am a master gardener outside in a zone 5 garden I do, however, want to expand my "indoor plant pallet" this summer so I subscribed to learn more about houseplants indoor. I have had numerous houseplants many years ago in my old Cape Cod where I was successful in propagating many plants in addition to African Violets, but I know I need a "refresher course" now. I am learning a lot about new options like the herb garden, the orb etc. Way cool!

    Awesomein the dark bedroom in the back you could have a plant and have a twin out in the window and then every two weeks you could just switch them. It's a trick that they use in the plant maintenance companies that maintain office plants they keep one plant in the lobby for example a beautiful Fern and they keep another beautiful Fern in the greenhouse then they just switch them every two weeks.
