    I started my houseplant collection because of you. My first plants being golden pothos, Hoya australis and scindapsus pictus argyraeus. From watching your videos and u saying they were fast growers. Going on almost two years now I have over 78 plants am obsessed with plants and have never been so happy and positive about life. I love my plants and I watch your videos all the time still especially when I’m repotting I’ll play your videos in the background or I’ll go back to a video to relearn something. I love Chinese-evergreens and Hoyas😫. You, planterina and harli g have showed exactly how beautiful plants are! Always supporting you!

    I 💚 the pot you have it in. I think the plant prefers ceramic and plastic over terracotta. I’ve had mine for a couple years and we’re still working on it…yours is adorable 💚🪴

    I’ve always had a few houseplants but it hasn’t been until the last couple of years that I’ve added a lot to my collection (who knew there were so many varieties of snake plant?!). I have my first pilea, and she’s doing okay but I cannot wait to watch her grow.
    And my cat was sitting in front of my keyboard while I was watching this, so I get it!

    I just got my first houseplants as an adult a few days ago, thank you so much for the advice! Also I’m a wildlife conservationist and your cat has the most beautiful healthy coat and looks to be in good condition so you must be good at caring for multiple life forms!

    I am very much a beginner, I live in freezing cold Canada and I have had this plant since September of last year. He sits in north facing window with a good view of the sky. I let him dry out to drooping and dry enough to pull the whole thing out of the pot and that's when I water. Then he perks right up!. It has grown over twice the size since I've gotten it, and growing many babies. Easiest plant I've ever had. He's my fave.

    Such great timing that this was the plant of the week, I just noticed over the weekend my Pilea has sprouted a little baby!! I'm so excited to propagate when she gets big and strong enough! Love your videos, and love Muffin's cameo!

    Excellent vid and bonus kitten won a subscribe--- I followed a "pilea are okay for low light" advice and a previously healthy plant is now sad and being nursed back to health. The taco test is gold, thanks so much.

    LIVING FOR MUFFIN!!!! my boy black cat coffee is her literal twin (with one less eye lol) and loves his attention. You are my fav Nick, love the way you share information. Ive been caring for a pilea pep for almost a year now and i remember referencing your first video. overtime they really create their own unique shape which is what i think draws attraction to growing one. Happy New Year!

  • @entomolojosh
    @entomolojosh 2 роки тому +1

    Thank you for this video! My plant was doing well until I moved it off the windowsill, when it started dropping leaves. They're now back in the windowsill, and I'm making sure that I'm watering it properly now

  • @gwenncoath8941
    @gwenncoath8941 2 роки тому +5

    And this episode with special guest star Muffin!
    Im jealous! I had one of these plants. I tried less water, more water, less light, more light, more humidity and it punished me by dropping all of its leaves. 95% of the plant died. I took the other 5% and now I’m trying to water propagate it. We will see what happens, but I’m still upset…. 😢

    • @Cyndark1
      @Cyndark1 2 роки тому +1

      What Ive recently learned, while my other plants want humidity, this plant wants dry! Like super dry, dry enough to lift the whole plant with roots and soil right out of the pot and then water! It will droop like crazy and that's a good thing! And then once you water it, it's so happy and will burst with new growth!

    Thank you for this video, my plant has started dropping leaves so I will be moving it to a sunnier spot! Would you be able to do a help tip video on the Calathea Medallion plant? I've got one that thrived in the summer months but isn't doing so well in the winter!

    I appreciate you mentioning the taco test from time to time because I forget about that test.
    I have killed about 3 of these.
    I’m strange because when I can’t keep a plant alive, I continue to buy them until I keep them alive ! Lol. Currently I have four big beautiful pilea at my home now.

    My four Pilea Peperomioides were suffering from a lack of water - I just got a reminder to water them, so while watching they got some much-needed water. One of them will get a new home, it was suffering, where it lived.

    Hi Nick! I found one of these a few years ago, but it didn't last very long. I may need to try one again. It was so much fun seeing so much of Muffin! She definitely wanted some loves and attention. She's such a pretty kitty. I call my little fur baby sweet pea, too! Thank you so much for sharing!

    Would you be able to tell why my Pilea peperomioides is dropping the lower leaves and the new leaves are growing in curved (almost like the top half of a Pokémon ball)? I’m assuming she needs more light, but that didn’t seem to help either when I tried it for a while before…

I would love a video on beautiful houseplants that aren't toxic to cattos or fur babies for everyone else or any tips you have to keep them away from the toxic houseplants if you were to have them.

    Ok so my PP is a long trunk and just maybe 7 leaves at the top. My question is, will it grow more leave on the bottom at some point? (I think I was overwatering) or will it just keep growing them from the top as it gets taller? Thank you!!!❤

    Hi Muffin!!! 🥰🥰🥰 I actually had two of these plants and gave one to my son’s girlfriend. What I’m confused about with mine, is that the leaves curl the opposite direction of yours. Like, your leaves cup upwards, mine are cupped down. I hope that makes sense. Does that mean anything? I only water it about every two weeks and it’s in a southeast window. I’d appreciate any advice!
    Thank you for sharing! 💜💚🪴🌵

    I was gifted a baby a couple of months ago..I kept it outside in full sunlight and it didn't really thrive. No new leaves, kind of yellowed. I finally brought it in when the temps dropped, and I also noticed the soil would dry out super fast, maybe too fast so I transplanted it with new soil. Still no growth after about 3 months until very recently it squeezed out a couple of leaves. What am I doing wrong?
