I just got one today! So excited to watch it grow. I got it as a propegation off of my mom's plant and it grew three new leaves in just a couple of weeks of being in water
Ive killed maybe 20. I either under- or overwater these, so they dont work for me unfortunately! Except for the orange one, that one lives for some reason
can you do a video on adding poles to plants? idk which plants need them.. and why ppl use moss poles vs a regular pole.. & do you only add them when u repot plants
Sara Lynn I usually collect succulents/cacti...then I learned about these and I think they are opening the door to foliage plants for me! I’m going to order one next week...probably two let’s be honest
Herbs and edible stuff! Everyone's in a scramble for decorative plants, but I think it would be cooler if you're planting and self-sustaining as well. Basil, Mint, Keffir Lime, Peppers, Rosemary, Tomatoes...
A lot of houses just don't have enough natural light to sustain these types of plants. I grew a chili plant indoors but i needed to boost its light intake with a grow light. Eventually it just made more sense to grow it outside and save indoors for decorative plants which are better suited to it!
I have tried! My squash and zucchini became victims of squash vine borers, out of 8 tomato plants only 1 has grown 1 tomato, my cucumbers are flowering but so far no fruit, cilantro died, radishes sprouted and died, carrots same. On a happy note, my peppers are doing great!
Keeping crops it's veeeery much a big step (I would consider tomatoes crops) but yeah, mint, basil, chives, sometimes strawberries (seriously they are very compact) and even a single ginger in a shallow wide pot (they don't need direct sunlight) are a great way to find something more than aesthetic pleasure from your plants. I have mint, ginger and chives, the only really distinct is ginger since it take quite some months to harvest, but herbs can be easily used to cook and it helps them to keep growing
HAHAHA oops! When I insert plant names like that I usually use a premade title screen in iMovie to keep it simple... evidently not simple enough because I space & don't edit the text hahaha
I think the asparagus fern (Asparagus plumosus) is one of the most underrated plants. It's got such a whimsical sense of scale! I don't really know how to describe it. Also, since they aren't true ferns, I've found them to be very easy and forgiving, while still giving a fern-y vibe. Edit: Aaaaah, you agree! lol posted before watching the whole video.
I have a ton of hanging plants and I just recently bought a reach hook on amazon for like $12 and it is a GAME CHANGER!!! Its basically one of those hooks they use at clothing stores to reach hanging clothes that are up out of reach! Its the best idea I ever had/ best purchase because I was getting super over getting up on a step stool or ladder.
I JUST BOUGHT A PEACE LILLY YESTERDAY!!! HAD NO CLUE WHAT IT WAS BUT IT WAS SO PRETTY!!! THEN WHEN I GOT HOME AND LOOKED IT UP I WAS AMAZED!!! GOOD PICK FOR ME!!! NASA PUT THE PEACE LILLY IN THE TOP 10 MOST AIR PURIFYING PLANT!!!
I find umbrella trees (Schlefflera) to be super underrated. I have a variegated one, and in summer, it puts out a new, beautiful umbrella of leaves every week! It still grows quite quickly even in winter. Brilliant plant! I also have a fatsia japonica that's growing really well and getting really full in lowish light. Lovely, shiny leaves and fast growing!
Thank you for mentioning the Hawaiian snow bush!! I saw one yesterday at a nursery and I almost cried! The entire time I walked around I thought people were starring at me but they were eyeballing the snow bush!! Lol I can almost bet they’ll be sold out and I’ll never see them again! I feel SO lucky!
Debi Hediger I got my first zz plant in August and it’s shot up so many new stems I love it! I only have about a dozen plants in my collection but my zz is one that people always comment on when they see it because the leaves are so glossy and pretty! Totally underrated
I think that zz plants are so lovely. I tell anyone who says they want to get a plant to get a zz. I don’t see them get much love online because they’re so “basic” but they are such rewarding plants!
Nicole M I wanted one forever but not a huge one so the nursery divided/cut one for me so it ended up in a 4 “ pot and looked great. It promptly began its slow death 🙁I have been trying to propagate the top of stem and leaves in water....not working so I’m at the end now with tiny stem in soil 🤞and 🙏 for my little zz I think they are beautiful.
I didn’t know anything about ZZs until I saw a big one in the nursery (while buying fruit trees). I immediately fell in love with it. I took the ZZ home, repotted it, and am now enjoying this beautiful plant. Real easy to care for!
When you mentioned Aglaonema in your video I literally screamed. I just bought one last weekend!!!!!!! I’m not quite sure what variety I have, the tag didn’t say. I really want the “stripes” variety. If you haven’t seen it... you need to. It’s stunning!!!!!!
I love my Dracena Dorado. I've managed to overwater it and it actually managed to recover from very severe rot rot. Every other plant would have been dead. Also, Dracena Godseffiana. I've written that before, but it's so gorgeous it nees a spotlight.
I have no luck with them. I've killed 2. I under-watered one and over-watered the other. I have a 3rd that is looking terrible but I did get another and it's not dead yet. I have the same luck with Crotons. They're gorgeous but not for me to have apparently!
Ditto!!!! I have one with 4 stems, my cat chewed one pretty bad so I chopped it off. Now about 1 month later it has 2 new stems growing out of the one I hacked off!! I'm temped now to wack my single one down to see if it will branch out. I think I'll wait till spring as I am in zone 5b. ;)
@@dianed3491 Thats awesome! every time my cat destroys my plants I just tell myself they will come back fuller, also I want to try to cut the stalk so it will branch out but Im scared to lol
I love Dracaena (it also literally means female dragon, coolest name) plants, but I've managed to kill 3 so far, two from overwatering and one because of an insane mealinfestation!! I received one in a recent mail plant swap and got another, so we'll see. My mom has a huge 30+yo which I love, so I'll keep on trying. 😃
I have a Christmas cactus and aside from trying to get it to bloom, I’ve neglected it so much like going a few months without watering to watering it weekly and it’s been doing good for over a year! I’ve also never been able to propagate succulents or cacti but I just take a leaf and put it in moist soil and they root super fast!
Thanks for including the Hawaiian snow bush. It is such a stunning plant. Easily one of my favorites and quite forgiving. I actually keep mine outdoors.
Mine came back from near death because I overwintered in the basement. I put it outside and got the most beautiful comeback. Mine is the Roseo Picta and has pink, white, and burgundy leaves....Love It.
Burgundy rubber tree because everyone focuses on the variegated ones (which are great too) and they don’t talk much about the non variegated one. Also the maranta leuconeura kerchoveana variegata because it’s super easy to grow, loves not a lot of light (I have mine pulled back from a north facing window) and so far has been pest free. Love the video, great plants mentioned 💚
Birds of paradise! I have two and they get so big and are so easy to care for in my opinion. If you love giant tropical plants without the humidity requirements I seriously recommend them.
I never really hear people talking about rhipsalis! It's such a sculptural plant that doesn't need much light and propagates SUPER easy. If you like the idea of string of bananas but don't have as much light, give these a look!
Philodendron Scandens remains one of my favorite houseplants. Its common and sure it doesn't have a bunch of colors but THESE GUYS MAKE ME SO HAPPY!!!! But also, I have a Philodendron SP Peru and it's my current obsession.
Pilea aquamarine- such a beautiful trailing plant with reddish stems. They’re delicate but not super finicky and not difficult to grow. I’ve had mine for about a year now after finding it tucked away in an arboretum greenhouse, but I love it!
Emerald ripple Pepperomia! I absolutely LOVE this plant, had always been easy for me to care for and gives a beautiful deep green texture. Also Rex begonias!
I am so excited to see a lot of the plants I love on this episode. My Audrey ficus I have had for 4 years is about 8 feet and amazing. Trying to make it look like a massive bonsai so been massively trimming back. Emerald Gem, Maria, mini snow bush is amazos and one of my favorites of all times. My absolute favorite right now is Sensation Peace Lily which are normally boring plants, sensation variety is amazing though. To bad I can’t post pics of them on here :(
I will forever think dieffenbachia! I love them so much and definitely don't get enough love. And the money tree. They're just so beautiful and definitely a classic.
I love houseplants that move and grow quickly. I love the wow factor that a baby chain of hearts, marantas, monstera deliciosa. They move and look so different so fast!!!!
I love my China doll and goldfish plants! The leaves are so shiny and lush. Literally no one has a good video on the the China Doll bush. I haven't seen any goldfish videos, either... Though admittedly, I haven't looked. I love their goldenrod balloony fishy shaped flowers!
The plants I think are underrated are Creeping Jenny and Coleus I haven’t done research but from my experience Creeping Jenny is a fast grower, can thrive in part shade - full sun, and is drought tolerant. It’s cool to put in pots of more interesting plants so it can cascade down the sides of pots and furniture. Coleus can do well in full shade - full sun and will look different depending on how much light it gets. It comes in a variety of leaf shades and colors, and is drought tolerant. I’ve seen this one getting more popular, and it’s well deserved. Both were given to me by my grandmother and I love them so much 🙂
I love love love the topic of underrated plants. Especially since rare plants are so popular to see videos on. As much as I love seeing rare plants, it’s so nice to see the focus on something the average plant fan can both afford and feel good about trying to keep alive.
Tradescantia plants are amazing!!!! We keep them outdoors. I keep my Musa outdoors too and it hasn't been that difficult, but oh my, pests LOVE this plant, so I always have to treat it and cut it back, so it's still small...
I still LOVE pathos! All varieties! They're hardy and beautiful! Another would be calathea. They're one of my faves. They're so eccentric! Some are pretty popular but I love them all! Another would be any citrus! They're gorgeous AND they yield fruit!
😍Oh my goddddd!! the very first plant you showed I have been trying to learn the name of for so long!! I got one from hope Depot a year ago and it didn’t have a tag so I never knew what it was. Thank you🙌🏻💕🌿
Sygoniums (all varieties), pothos (all varieties), regular ZZs, and bird of paradise! in my experience all of them show you so much love. My bird of paradise is a slow grower but when it surprises you with a new leaf you just wanna die from how happy you know it is.
Hi Harli! 😊 I have a Ledebouria petiolata, it is so stunning! I love the spots on the leaves it’s nothing I have seen before and I haven’t seen anyone talk about them. I live in Australia and it doesn’t matter what I do to this plant it doesn’t die. I was really lazy for a while and it was happy. Because it is a Lilly it shoots new bulbs regularly and can easily be propagated. It does flower with a long stem which is super pretty! 🌿🌱
Rubber trees are underrated! I never see them in wishlists or favorites but the different varieties are so pretty! my favorite plant is the tineke variety
I watched an Australian gardener I follow talk about using native plants as house plants "as really there is not such thing as a house plant" - and she is right as they all came out of the ground from somewhere. I have been looking for a weeping specimen plant for my garden, and as house plants are getting expensive here I am giving a native tree a go as an indoor plant. It is an Agonis Lemon and Lime . The leaves are beautiful and I am going to give it lots of light, a native potting mix and I hope to get a number of years out of it trimming the roots and going easy with fertiliser. I am so excited, and my husband call this my plant therapy. Natives as indoor plants could be the secret to having unusual house plants and this plant was less than $15, so affordable too. Featured snippet from the web Agonis Lemon and Lime is a very elegant native tree with weeping fine golden lemon new foliage that turns into a darker lime colour. Small white flowers appear on the branches in summer. A fantastic specimen feature tree with beautiful flowing contrasting colour. A good native alternative to a Willow Tree.
I’m so in love with my ficus benjamina variegata! I love having a tree-like plant in my home. It could be that not many ppl love it but i am just obsessed woth it! It looks amazing and although it s very picky when it comes to relocating it and loosing some leaves, i am thinking of buying a second one. 🤨🤪
Yes same! I can get lost in those leaves for ages! I love all ficus, but that one is up near the top of my list for sure! I’ve just taken some cuttings so I’m hoping it roots as easily as regular ficus benjamina. 🤞
Golden or Jade pothos. It's a simple plant yet looks beautiful anywhere and can survive almost anywhere. The pothos was my first plant and is underated in the plant community.
Hello!! I am a new plant mom and I have just found your channel! You’re so sweet and passionate and I love your charsima! Thank you for making all these really informative and sweet videos, these are the very best! Also, my favorite underrated plant is my heart leaf philodendron! It is the cutest happiest little plant in my room!
My local nursery has a huge Tahitian Bridal Veil and I’ve been eyeing it! Thanks for talking about it I had no idea it was an easy to care for house plant :)
Stromanthe! Yes! I freaking adore my tricolor, fell in love with it the first time I ever saw it and it still just as striking to me today 😍 totally underrated!
For beginners: African violets. They come in so many gorgeous varieties and are easy to care for and keep blooming! They need more attention for newbies. Also polka dot planrs... beautiful leaves . Easy care. And occasionally tiny cute flowers
I have two Meyer lemons and a lime ....I love them but they are very demanding and tend to drive me crazy. Just when I think they are ready to croak they spring back to life. My lime looked awesome after summer and I repotted it now it has red spider mites and is living in solitary. I gave it a daily shower for a week thought that would help but .... they’re back. Any advice would be welcome.
zz pants. They give so much and ask for so little in return. I love them ❤️ I even have the black one and it looks amazing and it's as easy to take care of. The are kind of glossed over at the moment
i love my wandering jew! it’s a tricolor so it has green/white/pink variegation and it grows like crazy! it’s also super easy to care for. i just bottom water it until it doesn’t want anymore water and give it medium light!
Dracena godseffiana. Such a unique and gorgeous variegation, go and google it, you have to see it. It has never given me any troubles. Out of the hundreds of plant videos I have watched, I've only ever seen it mentioned once.
Spider plants, snake plants and the good old ivy. Easy care and just beautiful. The newest plant to my little plant family is the heart shape philodendron. Love these
You are so right about the Emerald Gem. I used to do wholesale route sales for a company called Tropical Gardens (this was a long time ago-- before internet sales were a thing- lol) and those emerald gems used to just sit on my truck. I couldnt give them away. But if you have a large plant display in your shop or your home, it adds a nice lush dark green spot for your eye to rest between flowers and varigation and pattern. (And theyll flower for you tho the flower isnt much to see).. I have one on my desk at work and I just love it.
Hi Harli! How are you? I would have never saw the spot on your shirt. I would have thought it was part of the graphic design. GOLDEN POTHOS, GOLDEN POTHOS, GOLDEN POTHOS! Have a good one! Gerry 😎
Cotyledon tomentosa/Bear paw and Delosperma echinatum/Pickle plant. If you like texture and easy care, these are for you. I have mine in terracotta pots, let them dry out and then I basically drench them. Lovely little plants. ☺
Hands down my “ Milky Way” Cast iron plant. I ordered mine from a greenhouse in CA over the summer and man oh man she’s been thriving in my house ever since, and everything I read says that they’re slow growers but this one has put out two new leaves! Also it’s beautiful and doesn’t care really about anything, cold, warm, sunlight. Just loves life.
Kati Z I can never keep fittonias alive longer than a week after bringing them home. I care for them based on internet recommendations but still no luck. Do u have any tips?
Ashley Humbert I only water them, when the leaves aren‘t firm anymore. I... Kind of... pat them every (other) day. Leaves soft? They get a Drink. Also they sit about 2m away from my window
@@ashleyh5475 I have rescued three off clearance from Lowe's. Bring them home and bottom water and they perk back up within the hour. I cut off anything that is still hard or discolored. I keep them in ceramic or plastic because they don't like to dry and that helps. All of mine are in lower light. I water when I feel top and it is dry or I notice they aren't standing as tall as normal. I don't let them faint all the way. I just can't imagine the stress is good for them. Harley (name drop) keeps hers in a bowl and fills couple time a week and works for her. If you live somewhere dry you may want to add a little bit of humidity. I know allot of people say that. I am in TX and we always have at least 50% so I haven't had that issue. Hope something I said helps. I love fittonias and giggle when I find them being dying divas!
I love my Ruby Red fittonia. Since I got it from Lowe’s, it’s given me joy when I look at it. I water the plant thoroughly, then leave it alone until dry on top. So far, so good!
I’m convinced we had the same exact Kalanchoe 😂 Mine grew like that and I assumed I did something wrong, but yours looks so happy, they really are nice plants
Ponytail palm, super easy and underrated! One of my oldest houseplants and its happy anywhere and very forgiving with waterings. It looks very exotic inside. You look great!
I bought a pilea glauca a looong time ago and it's growing so fast now and I take lots of cuttings for all of my friends to have, it's such a cute little guy
I love ZZ plants! They are my hands down favorite. They're so easy and add so much dimension to a space and I love them. They were the first plant I ever got and now I have like five.
aleialaw I’m a pretty new plant mom but mine has been great. I have a burning bush croton. A little fussy at first but I figured out it just needs to be watered and misted a lot more than my other plants and it’s been happy since. I have mine directly on the windowsill in a room that gets a lot of filtered light.
Underrated= heart leaf philodendron-coolest bestest happiest plant
I agree! Easily the happiest plants in my house!
Yes! I love mine!
Same! Mine is hitting the floor and I bought it so small
I love this one. It looks so peaceful.
I just got one today! So excited to watch it grow. I got it as a propegation off of my mom's plant and it grew three new leaves in just a couple of weeks of being in water
SPIDER PLANTS...SPIDER PLANTS...SPIDER PLANTS..
I have 5 of them they are my favorite..they grow fast and self propergrate
☘🌿☘🌿
I love mine!
Oh yes 👍😄 I just got like 20 babies off my spider plant. Want to put them all in one big pot. Then just watch it grow. And make more and more. 😁😁😁
I have five all together in a big pot. They're just the best.
And non toxic and great air purifiers
Ive killed maybe 20. I either under- or overwater these, so they dont work for me unfortunately! Except for the orange one, that one lives for some reason
can you do a video on adding poles to plants? idk which plants need them.. and why ppl use moss poles vs a regular pole.. & do you only add them when u repot plants
I love wandering jews but I feel like no one else does. The purple is so pretty and I LOVE the sparkle they have.
Sara Lynn I usually collect succulents/cacti...then I learned about these and I think they are opening the door to foliage plants for me! I’m going to order one next week...probably two let’s be honest
Calamity Natalie you just need to
buy one. They grow really fast and are very easy to propagate so you’ll have more in no time lol
Sara Lynn I want the tradescantia nanouk and zebrina!!! I need both, then I will have many lol
Calamity Natalie ohhh gotcha
My neighbor gave me a green one and it is growing so fast and it's so very pretty! Next I want the variegated variety.
Herbs and edible stuff! Everyone's in a scramble for decorative plants, but I think it would be cooler if you're planting and self-sustaining as well. Basil, Mint, Keffir Lime, Peppers, Rosemary, Tomatoes...

Agree. I had to kick out my 2 basil plants to get some light, as well as potted lemon. They are all thriving outside in my shaded porch.
@@TheYoghurt42 ahhhh okay, I didn't think about that at all 😅 thank you for explaining!

Pothos ‘N Joy is so underrated! It grows like a weed and makes me look like I know what I’m doing.
Anna M I have one as well but the white on the leaves get brown spots? I don’t know why it does that, maybe too low light?
Isa Mine did that when I let it get direct sun; the white just burnt. Maybe yours is too dry? Or try putting a grow light on it and see what happens?
I've had mine for more than half a year now and it literally won't grow lol it's the same as when I first got it
Anna M I just bought one of these on Etsy!!!! I cannot WAIT to get it.
I like my ‘N’ Joy too but mine is a s l o w grower.
Neon pothos its so simply beautiful, fast growing and so easy to take care of!! That's a perfect plant in my opinion 🙌🌱
My fave is whale fin Sansevieria, monstera adensonii, pink princess philodendron, regular red anthuriums, any snake plant, and string of hearts xxx
I believe that peace lillys are under rated and unappreciated. I absolutely love them.
I agree! I have a Domino, and it's so easy and beautiful!
I love how dramatic they are. I too wilt when I don’t have exactly what i want

Gorgeous as always!

I think syngonium are very underrated, they're cute, come in a lot of colors, are very forgiving plants and are affordable 😉
anthuriums! so beautiful, vibrant, and shockingly low maintenance. I love the lil heart shaped leaves and the waxy bloom
Philodendron Scandens remains one of my favorite houseplants. Its common and sure it doesn't have a bunch of colors but THESE GUYS MAKE ME SO HAPPY!!!! But also, I have a Philodendron SP Peru and it's my current obsession.
Lipstick plants!!! Not talked about enough from any chanel, no one posts about them. They definitely deserve more attention. Definitely my favorite.

I am so excited to see a lot of the plants I love on this episode. My Audrey ficus I have had for 4 years is about 8 feet and amazing. Trying to make it look like a massive bonsai so been massively trimming back. Emerald Gem, Maria, mini snow bush is amazos and one of my favorites of all times. My absolute favorite right now is Sensation Peace Lily which are normally boring plants, sensation variety is amazing though. To bad I can’t post pics of them on here :(
Yes Indeed, I have Audrey, a bridal veil, and more. My Asparagus fern is enormous. I have 3 different kinds, and they just are so easy and pretty.
I will forever think dieffenbachia! I love them so much and definitely don't get enough love. And the money tree. They're just so beautiful and definitely a classic.
Love your videos!
Heart leaf philodendrons for sure! They never ask for much and are so stinking beautiful! Those hearts jumping out at you! ♡
English ivy! It's so rewarding seeing it grow so quickly! You can trellis it to anything :)
I love houseplants that move and grow quickly. I love the wow factor that a baby chain of hearts, marantas, monstera deliciosa. They move and look so different so fast!!!!
I love my string of hearts, it so cute. But mine is struggling, I need to figure this plant out.
I love my China doll and goldfish plants! The leaves are so shiny and lush. Literally no one has a good video on the the China Doll bush. I haven't seen any goldfish videos, either... Though admittedly, I haven't looked. I love their goldenrod balloony fishy shaped flowers!
The plants I think are underrated are Creeping Jenny and Coleus
I haven’t done research but from my experience Creeping Jenny is a fast grower, can thrive in part shade - full sun, and is drought tolerant. It’s cool to put in pots of more interesting plants so it can cascade down the sides of pots and furniture.
Coleus can do well in full shade - full sun and will look different depending on how much light it gets. It comes in a variety of leaf shades and colors, and is drought tolerant. I’ve seen this one getting more popular, and it’s well deserved.
Both were given to me by my grandmother and I love them so much 🙂
I agree, both are staples for me too.
Oxalis!!! They're so freakin cute and open and close with the sun!
Heck yeah!
Mine are purple and I just think they are the most adorable plants ever!
Love Oxalis too!
I love love love the topic of underrated plants. Especially since rare plants are so popular to see videos on. As much as I love seeing rare plants, it’s so nice to see the focus on something the average plant fan can both afford and feel good about trying to keep alive.
I freaking love Arrowhead Vines ! (Syngoniums) Not just the variegated or pink ones.
Me too! I adore them the get so full so fast. But my boyfriend dislikes them I really can't get why, they are gorgeous
Tradescantia, especially minima and quadricolour. Any kalanchoe. Also love my banana tree but my word it's DRAMATIC.
Tradescantia plants are amazing!!!! We keep them outdoors. I keep my Musa outdoors too and it hasn't been that difficult, but oh my, pests LOVE this plant, so I always have to treat it and cut it back, so it's still small...
I still LOVE pathos! All varieties! They're hardy and beautiful! Another would be calathea. They're one of my faves. They're so eccentric! Some are pretty popular but I love them all! Another would be any citrus! They're gorgeous AND they yield fruit!
I LOVE my aglaonema.
I am so glad you featured them in this video. Definitely super simple to care for && they are so beautiful!🌿
Neon philodendron for sure! They trail so beautifully and grow so fast
Have you seen Amanda’s from Planterina? 😮 Amazing!!!
I feel like African violets are underrated!! They’re one of my true favorites!
Yesss I love mine!! So beautiful!!
😍Oh my goddddd!! the very first plant you showed I have been trying to learn the name of for so long!! I got one from hope Depot a year ago and it didn’t have a tag so I never knew what it was. Thank you🙌🏻💕🌿
I love my pink aglaonema so much. It has grow so quickly and is so easy to care for, it's also so pretty. I feel like very proud when it flowers 😌
Coleus! I don't see it as often as other plants, BUT THEY'RE SO PREEDDDEEHHHHHHH
Agreed!!
Sygoniums (all varieties), pothos (all varieties), regular ZZs, and bird of paradise!
in my experience all of them show you so much love. My bird of paradise is a slow grower but when it surprises you with a new leaf you just wanna die from how happy you know it is.
I adore my red emerald. Mine only asks for a bit of humidity and that’s it.
I love baby tears! Like they are beautiful and as long as you water ALOT then they carpet and grow amazingly!
Aglaonemas are sooooo underrated. I love them. My current favorite is the CHOCOLATE. 😍😍😍😍😍
I agree! They often get skipped over in greenhouse videos. I looove my agleonema and I want more.
Had no idea there was a chocolate one
@@Dakurlz0740 oooh its a beauty. And super easy.
Hi Harli! 😊
I have a Ledebouria petiolata, it is so stunning! I love the spots on the leaves it’s nothing I have seen before and I haven’t seen anyone talk about them. I live in Australia and it doesn’t matter what I do to this plant it doesn’t die. I was really lazy for a while and it was happy. Because it is a Lilly it shoots new bulbs regularly and can easily be propagated. It does flower with a long stem which is super pretty! 🌿🌱
The Philo erubescens is actually the „normal“ form of the variegated form Pink Princess, love them 💕
Rubber trees are underrated! I never see them in wishlists or favorites but the different varieties are so pretty! my favorite plant is the tineke variety
Oddly enough I seen a red emerald at my nursery today and really want it but it was HUGE!!! This makes me want it more! x
I watched an Australian gardener I follow talk about using native plants as house plants "as really there is not such thing as a house plant" - and she is right as they all came out of the ground from somewhere. I have been looking for a weeping specimen plant for my garden, and as house plants are getting expensive here I am giving a native tree a go as an indoor plant. It is an Agonis Lemon and Lime
. The leaves are beautiful and I am going to give it lots of light, a native potting mix and I hope to get a number of years out of it trimming the roots and going easy with fertiliser. I am so excited, and my husband call this my plant therapy. Natives as indoor plants could be the secret to having unusual house plants and this plant was less than $15, so affordable too.
Featured snippet from the web
Agonis Lemon and Lime is a very elegant native tree with weeping fine golden lemon new foliage that turns into a darker lime colour. Small white flowers appear on the branches in summer. A fantastic specimen feature tree with beautiful flowing contrasting colour. A good native alternative to a Willow Tree.
I’m so in love with my ficus benjamina variegata! I love having a tree-like plant in my home. It could be that not many ppl love it but i am just obsessed woth it! It looks amazing and although it s very picky when it comes to relocating it and loosing some leaves, i am thinking of buying a second one. 🤨🤪
Ilinca Radulescu I love mine too!
Yes same! I can get lost in those leaves for ages! I love all ficus, but that one is up near the top of my list for sure! I’ve just taken some cuttings so I’m hoping it roots as easily as regular ficus benjamina. 🤞
I love mine too! I just took a shower with it yesterday. 😆 She loves wintertime because she gets to sit next to the humidifier. 🥰 ❄️
Meanwhile...i have 3 ficuses :)))
I definitely agree with Aglaonemas - I have several and they are not only beautiful, but super easy to keep happy.
Golden or Jade pothos. It's a simple plant yet looks beautiful anywhere and can survive almost anywhere. The pothos was my first plant and is underated in the plant community.
Hello!! I am a new plant mom and I have just found your channel! You’re so sweet and passionate and I love your charsima! Thank you for making all these really informative and sweet videos, these are the very best!
Also, my favorite underrated plant is my heart leaf philodendron! It is the cutest happiest little plant in my room!
My favorite plants are my begonia, wandering jew, golden pathos, and elephant ear!!
Loved this! Cannot wait for your next plant tour!! 😍 Stunning plants, stunning lady! Beautiful ❤️🌿
Most underrated/just my favorite plants are the Rattlesnake Calathea and the Stromanthe Sanguinea Triostar
My local nursery has a huge Tahitian Bridal Veil and I’ve been eyeing it! Thanks for talking about it I had no idea it was an easy to care for house plant :)
Stromanthe! Yes! I freaking adore my tricolor, fell in love with it the first time I ever saw it and it still just as striking to me today 😍 totally underrated!
Sammy G I agree I want one!! It’s so beautiful !!
I just bought one like 20 minutes ago! Tips welcome!
Amanda Paris I have a full care video up about them! 😋 congrats on your new planty! I hope it’s doing well
For beginners:
African violets.
They come in so many gorgeous varieties and are easy to care for and keep blooming! They need more attention for newbies.
Also polka dot planrs... beautiful leaves . Easy care. And occasionally tiny cute flowers
Indoor citrus trees!! Very underrated. They look and smell amazing!
Oh yes! I love mine so much, I actually got 6 different kinds!
Started mine as an experiment with my son, got 4 little tangerine trees out of it. They're only about 4 inches tall but they are so fragrant!
Mine died this winter and now I don't know if I should get a new one. So I'm looking into a tree that needs a bit less light :/
I have two Meyer lemons and a lime ....I love them but they are very demanding and tend to drive me crazy. Just when I think they are ready to croak they spring back to life. My lime looked awesome after summer and I repotted it now it has red spider mites and is living in solitary. I gave it a daily shower for a week thought that would help but .... they’re back. Any advice would be welcome.
zz pants. They give so much and ask for so little in return. I love them ❤️ I even have the black one and it looks amazing and it's as easy to take care of. The are kind of glossed over at the moment
Caladiums! They’re so easy to grow while being dainty, huge, and gorgeous!
Really? Do you have any tips? The couple of times I’ve try caladiums they don’t do well, the leaves will fall down and it’ll eventually die
I just bought a homalomena Selby from Planterina. A beautiful plant💚🙃 And just had to add your glowing, and very beautiful.
Aralias!! No one talks about them. I have several varieties: Ming, Parsley, and Balfour. They're not too hard to take care in imo.
Unanimous agreement!
i love my wandering jew! it’s a tricolor so it has green/white/pink variegation and it grows like crazy! it’s also super easy to care for. i just bottom water it until it doesn’t want anymore water and give it medium light!
Dracena godseffiana. Such a unique and gorgeous variegation, go and google it, you have to see it. It has never given me any troubles. Out of the hundreds of plant videos I have watched, I've only ever seen it mentioned once.
Spider plants, snake plants and the good old ivy. Easy care and just beautiful. The newest plant to my little plant family is the heart shape philodendron. Love these
Personally, I feel that syngoniums are underrated! I have 3 different varieties and love them all!
You are so right about the Emerald Gem. I used to do wholesale route sales for a company called Tropical Gardens (this was a long time ago-- before internet sales were a thing- lol) and those emerald gems used to just sit on my truck. I couldnt give them away. But if you have a large plant display in your shop or your home, it adds a nice lush dark green spot for your eye to rest between flowers and varigation and pattern. (And theyll flower for you tho the flower isnt much to see).. I have one on my desk at work and I just love it.
Hi Harli! How are you?
I would have never saw the spot on your shirt. I would have thought it was part of the graphic design.
GOLDEN POTHOS, GOLDEN POTHOS, GOLDEN POTHOS!
Have a good one!
Gerry
😎
Spider plants. They're lovely and they make more plants on themselves. Plus they are so easy to care for.
Crotons, coleus, sanseverias and dieffenbachias are also underrated plants,i think
My croton hates me :(
Cotyledon tomentosa/Bear paw and Delosperma echinatum/Pickle plant. If you like texture and easy care, these are for you. I have mine in terracotta pots, let them dry out and then I basically drench them. Lovely little plants. ☺
Baby Bunny Bellies! I rarely see people show them off.
Hands down my “ Milky Way” Cast iron plant. I ordered mine from a greenhouse in CA over the summer and man oh man she’s been thriving in my house ever since, and everything I read says that they’re slow growers but this one has put out two new leaves! Also it’s beautiful and doesn’t care really about anything, cold, warm, sunlight. Just loves life.
Fittonias and syngonuims are two I feel are over looked allot. Totally want a homalomena!
Kati Z I can never keep fittonias alive longer than a week after bringing them home. I care for them based on internet recommendations but still no luck. Do u have any tips?
Ashley Humbert I only water them, when the leaves aren‘t firm anymore. I... Kind of... pat them every (other) day. Leaves soft? They get a Drink. Also they sit about 2m away from my window
@@ashleyh5475 I have rescued three off clearance from Lowe's. Bring them home and bottom water and they perk back up within the hour. I cut off anything that is still hard or discolored. I keep them in ceramic or plastic because they don't like to dry and that helps. All of mine are in lower light. I water when I feel top and it is dry or I notice they aren't standing as tall as normal. I don't let them faint all the way. I just can't imagine the stress is good for them. Harley (name drop) keeps hers in a bowl and fills couple time a week and works for her. If you live somewhere dry you may want to add a little bit of humidity. I know allot of people say that. I am in TX and we always have at least 50% so I haven't had that issue. Hope something I said helps. I love fittonias and giggle when I find them being dying divas!
Thank you so much!!!
I love my Ruby Red fittonia. Since I got it from Lowe’s, it’s given me joy when I look at it. I water the plant thoroughly, then leave it alone until dry on top. So far, so good!
I’m convinced we had the same exact Kalanchoe 😂 Mine grew like that and I assumed I did something wrong, but yours looks so happy, they really are nice plants
Oh heyyy early crew. Currently binging your videos!
Ponytail palm, super easy and underrated! One of my oldest houseplants and its happy anywhere and very forgiving with waterings. It looks very exotic inside. You look great!
SYNGONIUM, they're so beautiful, diverse and easy to care for and people just don't seem to care so much for them.
Day Griego I AGREE! Syngonium are my favorite! I have like 15 varieties by now haha
Harli G omg I can't wait to have that many lol
I bought a pilea glauca a looong time ago and it's growing so fast now and I take lots of cuttings for all of my friends to have, it's such a cute little guy
Btw, your red Emerald😍 I own and love this plant so much! I also have a green Emerald💚
I love ZZ plants! They are my hands down favorite. They're so easy and add so much dimension to a space and I love them. They were the first plant I ever got and now I have like five.
I think crotons are so underrated they’re my favorite.
I have always heard they are finicky. But so beautiful!
aleialaw I’m a pretty new plant mom but mine has been great. I have a burning bush croton. A little fussy at first but I figured out it just needs to be watered and misted a lot more than my other plants and it’s been happy since. I have mine directly on the windowsill in a room that gets a lot of filtered light.
I love my croton! I got it with like three leaves and now it’s huge!!
I’m absolutely obsessed with cissus striata. It’s so darn cute! Tolerates most lighting situations as long as it’s kept moist.
