    The first one looks like a raindrop peperomia to me. The second one looks more like a rhipsalis than Spanish moss to me too. I totally agree with the third, fourth, fifth and sixth picks. I love this video.

    I've had hoya linearis for 6 months now and I find it to be the easiest out of the houseplants I have. I hope mine doesn't get mealy bugs next year buy whilst everything else had thrips and mealys, this one remained perfect and I just bottom water when the pot is completely dry, let it soak up until i see wet on top and then drain off any extra and pop it back up in its hanger. I keep mine in the kitchen where its humid too so that helps. X

  • @erica46290
    @erica46290 3 роки тому +2

    I see in all these videos all over english ivy is so hard to grow. In my home it's always been such as easy one I forget about it all the time! I noticed mine seems to thrive more in low light. Started as one 2 inch cutting and now under two years later it's FULL and has vines as long as 4 feet already. I want to try the wax ivy though because everyone keeps saying in the videos it's so much like it but easier, my luck it'd be one of kill though 😂. Love your videos so much, I have watched every single one! You are the reason for my never ending bucket list of plants 😜

    Hi Nick! This was another fun video! I can see the similarities in all but the Hoya linearis and the Spanish moss. I think it looks like a rhipsalis, but then I've never seen 'live" Spanish moss. LOL! Loved that you were "fooled" by the names, too! I really want a Senecio macroglossus “Variegatus” and hope I can find one locally. I feel the same as you about Ivies! No thank you! The Amydrium zippelianum is a really cool plant! I googled it and it is quite spendy. Thank you so much for sharing this!

  • @kim_bucha

    I love that you hate on hedera helix so much lmao. it’s my first plant and I didn’t realize it had a bad rep until I got it, but so far no problems! no spider mites, and it’s putting out tons of new growth. don’t know how I got lucky because it’s definitley not due to a green thumb.

    • @nichelle6058
      @nichelle6058 3 роки тому +1

      Liz I don’t get why so many hate on ivy. I’ve had my Big Shot ivy for a year now and it is full, lush and beautiful! I love it and have never had an issue with pests. That being said, after reading about they are so prone to spider mites, I do prophylactically shower her down every 10-14 days and spray with neem/water/soap mixture just to be on the safe side. She trails but is not out of control. I enjoy her lushness. 🌱😊
