purple passion plant is one of my favorites, but so far its been the hardest plant to keep happy. once i switched it to water and propagated it, the plant became much happier and bigger than it ever was in soil. i use foliage pro fert.. maybe the soil i used needed more drainage. does anyone have tips on how to care for this plant?
That's how diffenbachia grow. But you can cut the top off and reroot it in water and start all over again without getting rid of the plant. I've done that before, but I also like the tree look, too
@@cruelsister1 you are totally right! I just sometimes get stressed and feel like I’m doing something wrong as the stem gets longer and more bare 😭 if mine gets to that I’m totally going to try chopping and propping it. Thank you for these tips! 🫶🪴
My Aglaonema never had any pasts. I had the ‘Siam Aurora’ gave it to a friend because she loves pink colors in a plant. I would definitely repurchase another one, it was a care-free plant for me and grew beautifully! Watered it once a week or when it was about 1/2 dry.
I’m so happy yours has been doing well! There truly is nothing like the color ways that Aglaonemas have so it’s likely I will try again 🤭 Thank you for sharing these tips!
Hello. I agree with you so much on each of these; Silver Sword, I thought it was just me and Wildfern. Dieffenbachia, only 1 left in my collection. I’m tired of the Aglonema’s losing all the bottom leaves, but love the colors (no pests). No peperomias in my collection anymore. Calathea only the Rattlesnake (super easy). No crawlers in my collection. The Tradescantia’s are a weed and invasive in some areas. So what’s in my 200+ collection; Hoya’s, Ponytail Palms, Anthrium’s, cactus, Monstera’s (taking over, need to pay rent), Philodendrons, Alocasia’s, Pothos, Dracaena’s and Rhaph’s. Oh, the Opuntia, I’m just waiting for it to fall over. It won’t survive this winter ☺️. It difficult trying to take of something that attacks you if you look at it. Sorry, but my BOP is thriving, but we will see how everyone fares after this winter. Enjoyed the video. ❤️🪴❤️🪴
Oh my goodness, yes! Wild fern is the one who got me into silver swords but around when she got rid of her last one I started to think it may not be for me anymore either 🥲 I love that you have Hoyas. They are my favorite! Keep me updated on your BOP…I love that plant so much but it may not love me. I’m so happy you can relate to some of these plants!
Love your space and the lighting! Your plant styling is beautiful! I agree on the point about Ficus Audrey/ and fiddle leaf fig, but I love Ficus elastica, either the classic green or tinieke are my favourites. They grow pretty quickly and are super hardy, I have never had pest issues on mine either. Also they prop super easy too.
@@Rainerine thank you so much! And I love to hear this about the ficus varieties. I think they are beautiful but I’ve struggled with them. I’m happy yours are thriving! Maybe I need to get another one 🤭👀
I have birds of paradise, zone 9a Texas. They do well on my apartment patio, probably get like 3 hrs of sunlight hitting them but mostly are in shade. I wouldn’t put them in dapple sunlight all day. Just a shaded area where the sun may hit only a little. If it’s extremely hot like 100f or more I would just move them to full shade. I bought 3 very small ones like in 3 inch containers off amazon. Was worried buying plants off amazon. But they arrived and all of them are alive and grown a lot in just 9months
@@Thomasgonzaleswd this is so good to hear! BOP are one of my favorite plants so I’m desperate to get the hang of them down. It sounds like yours are thriving! Thank you so much for these tips. I’m hoping I can try it again soon 🪴🥹
i have the same problem with my silver sword!! the bottom leaves constantly keep yellowing and falling off and i’m always left with only a few leaves at the top
UGH! I can’t decide if I feel better or worse knowing others have this problem too 🤣😭 I literally can’t do it anymore even though she’s one of my favorites 🥹
@@danispriggs7818 My jungle velvet is kind of struggling more and more so I’m getting a little stressed about it 🤣 Also you are one of the first ones to agree with me on syngoniums!
The majority of my collection is Anthurium, once I found the care they like, most of them are easy. I haven't really explored with a lot of different genera (genuses), but I have a hoya mathilde super silver and 4 new hoyas now. 1 variegated alocasia black velvet that is really loving a pon and tree fern mix (my only one that survived my depression period because it was in a humidity dome with a bunch of seedlings) and that's probably it for now. A couple of my plants that did not do well with me, so I gave them to my dad; it was just a space and lighting issue. xD I found moss poles to be tricky for me, I can be lazy sometimes with watering and you can't do that with moss poles. I tried philodendrons at the beginning of my journey, though I might try them again. Philodendron pink princesses I find are really pretty, but they don't open up well and just get stuck, so I was over that real quick.
@@stephaniebarnes2956 I wish I was brave enough to get an anthurium! For some reason they intimate me 😭🤣 But they are so beautiful. I think Hoyas are my favorite species currently. I love philos too but they absolutely do the glass slipper thing with new leaves and it’s a pain. I also agree with moss poles! I’m horrible at keeping them moist so I won’t let myself have more than three. I love the sound of your collection though! And thank you so much for watching 🪴🥹
In my experience, Tradescantia is a fungus gnat attractor. I washed the roots and reported and treated, but they would not leave. Once I tossed it in the trash the rest of my plants cleared up. Now I just have the expected amount.
@@loriwoods1393 I could totally see that for the tradescantia! Especially since they don’t like to dry out too much it’s hard to fight off the gnats. My cissus discolor is kind of like that so I constantly have to watch for gnats 😭 I know they aren’t supposed to be harmful to the plant but they are just a nuisance 🥲
@@lindaholder2222 fingers are crossed for your tortum! Mine just grows slow besides that it’s pretty easy. I also LOVE Hoyas! They may be my current favorite type of plant right now 👀🤭
I am a new viewer of your channel glad to find another newer UA-camr Creator. I too have a planty channel it’s hard to get on peoples feed! 😂 I agree with you when plants don’t perform well or I start falling out of love with one I will get rid of it. So far that hasn’t happened, but there are a few on my radar.

@ Thank you Milly I also subscribed to yours too! 💜 I understand why you are nervous there are a lot of people out there that seem to think we owe them because we make videos when in reality we owe no one anything. 😂 I do it for me and no one else lol. Trolls be gone!
@@TreeHuggingDad while I’m sad we’ve had the same experience I feel so seen knowing I’m not the only one 😭 it’s been one of my favorite plants for ages but it ends up making me sad every time 🥲 Maybe if I gave it a proper moss pole the leaves wouldn’t drop as quick…but I don’t think I’m willing to do that
Carnosa Compacta. Impossible to treat for the mealies that will certainly set up house. I MAY try once more, using a systemic constantly, but once you get mealies, there's no getting rid if them.
@@debbibowen I almost had this one on my list! I have the variegated version and haven’t had mealies (yet). But it’s super temperamental and takes forever to grow. I say try it one more time with the systemic and we will pray it works! They are so pretty once they get long 😭
I hate tradescantia. I bought them early on of collecting because other people loved them and I regret those purchases more than anything. I don't do well with them anyhow, but their growth pattern isn't my thing and I don't find them pretty. The only ones I had that lived long term were in water. They bloomed often, which was nice, but the only thing about tradescantia that actually brought me joy.
