Yes. I’ve a new-ish 2 year old that thinks I have plants just for her to chew. I’ve learned: no pony tail palms, no ferns, no plant with waving leaves at all. Lol. She also nibbles pathos leaves (not enough to get sick it seems) and my snake plants have a few teeth holes in them. We’ve had to have discussions about the chewing. Luckily, as she’s aged she’s getting better about it.
As a beginner buying plants, I found your video was very helpful and informative, especially your list of 20 plants that are good for in the home. Thank you 😘
I really appreciate how you covered all the bases for each plant on care level ease, lighting, and safety to animals. It had been so frustrating to research plants, find some great ones that are hard to kill, only to have to cross reference it with safe for animals article. Thank you for covering it all! You mentioned a few plants I hadn't heard of that are safe for animals that I'm looking forward to finding!
good video! my mom gave me two small peace lilies that I kept in the window (they got white spots from what I think the sun being too bright) and they were doing ok but when I planted them in one large pot and keep them on the floor in my bedroom they are now super happy och 10 times the size. really recommend this plant :)
Hello. Fellow plant lover from Iceland here, love your videos! Genuinely surprised on how few views the videos have, I am sure the views will grow with time. Keep up the good work!
Just new to plants. And so happy i found you. You gave a great video. And with pets i love how you said which ones are poisoning to them. Plus your additude i love. I will follow you now. And look forwars to watching more videos of you.
Air cleaning plants is a huge myth. Some plants do have filtering abilities, but you'd need hundreds of them in a room to have significant improvements.
You're right. They did an experiment in outer space on it. The conditions needed for it to filter air... Not livable in the first place lol. So even with hundreds, it's marginal. Improves mood tho 😊
I have a fiddle leaf fig in a very low light area (on the end of the bath below and to the side of an east facing window) and it’s fine and has put out new leaves over the year it’s been there.
Hiii, I really love your videos!! If you have the time, I'd love it if you made a video on mixing soil for different kinds of houseplants. Also maybe a video on calathea care?? Greetings from the Balkans and keep up the good work 🥰
Thank you so much! I made a video last week about some amazing soil alternatives you can use (or mix in with your regular potting mix), but I'll definitely make one purely on soil mixes soon. I've already got a calathea care vid - it was one of my first ones so you might have to scroll down to the bottom x
I have a pot with four Monstera deliciosa plants living in the back of east facing room and they are still growing. I remember to water them sometimes. It just doesn't get any easier. I would say Monstera is a good choice. And philodendron Micans. Mine is doing good in permanent shade on a shelf and it grows.
Thanks for all these suggestions!! I've not been having much luck with my spider plants. They do well up to a point, make lil babies and then seem to just fall apart (do plants get postpartum depression?!) Any tips would be gratefully received
The thing with spider plants is that often if they've got loads of plantlet babies and then suddenly you chop them all to propagate, it's easy to assume that the mother plant will still require the same care (ie. water and fertilising needs) when actually she won't as she doesn't have the babies to support anymore (if that makes sense). Whenever I go a big chop of my big ones, I'll try to just leave them alone for a while afterwards to let them re-adjust, and just monitor them carefully when it comes to things like watering 💚
I like the cactus looking plant you brought out. Didn't know they grow so large! I have such poor lighting in my house my plants fight for light, but I think I have chosen ones that will cope and even thrive in low light conditions. There are some excellent places online to get your planties these days. Thanks
Beautiful Plants!!!!! Plants can thrive under a variety of conditions however. I have Snake Plant in a South window (in the shade of my Dracaena) that are thriving, growing their tails off! My Fav The Monstera absolutely will grow it's tail off although it does have to be aclimated to bright light. My Monstera is in a West facing window. Euphorbia is outside with some of my cactus for the summer in the Sun. My Euphorbia thinks it is a cactus! Finally my other simple favorite is Pothos who absolutely can thrive (better varigation) in bright light. Love your videos!
I scorched my baby prayer plant keeping it by the window, it didn’t survive. But I was able to chop the leaves and wait patiently for a couple months and it’s finally popped its 2nd leaf and has a spot in the house it likes a lot more now
Thank you for the great tips! My living room faces west but the windows are shaded by a balcony so it's not as bright as I would like. I'm going to get a few of these and hope they work out 😃 One thing that's good to know about Peace lilies (and any lilies), is that the pollen is extremely toxic to cats! So unlike most non pet friendly plants, putting them out of reach is unfortunately not enough, unless you snip of the flowers
Peace lilies are actually aroids and not in the lily family, and their pollen isn't actually toxic to cats (but like all aroids they can still cause stomach upset for leaf chewing kitties so watch out!)
@@worm9706 Oh! I heard it from a horticulturist, but now that I think about it she didn't specifically say that peace lilies were true lilies, just that the pollen could be bad for pets. 😅 I jumped to conclusions, that's my bad.
thanks for the informative video. when you say that some plants are toxic or poisonous, such as the 'English Ivy', what do you mean by that? How can such a plant be toxic? Shall we wash our hands after touching the leaves, should we avoid keeping them in the bedroom? thank you.
Wonderful video, especially including pet friendly info. My question is what temperature range do they tolerate? The lower level of my house is darker due to Loggia/patio cover. We keep the temperature at 63. I’d like to have more plants downstairs. Our puppy has grown and has discovered the plants. Lol
Hey Claire, only just saw this, you did whizz through your list lol but it was great, some fabulous ideas there for me. I'm adding one extra point to growing sansevieria, I have a moonshine, star cannary, gracilis, fancisii and gold flame in direct sunlight, they were shaded with a net curtain only during the crazy summer heat wave of 2022. This year I'm adding Zeylanica, cylindrica and Laurentii to the spot. The reason for my addition is as a validation to your point of thriving. I have several other sansevierias dotted around in various spots in my home, they are growing and also multiplying, but not what I would call thriving.
Such good info, tysm. I'm confined to my room atm and needing something. QUESTION: Tempeture wise, will cooler conditions play a factor in the darker room plants? My room stays in the mid to high 60s. 🥶 a video on that would also be amazing
I have a castor oil plant that is over 50 years old and been with me since I was 17. I moved her into Pon and that has stunted her big time.so we’re heading back into soil I can send you a couple of leaves if you would like an old lady to look after !! 🌿💚
Oh wow that's amazing! Some plants in my experience don't love pon as much as I'd have thought they would, so the transition back to soil sounds like a good one. That's a very kind offer - perhaps when I move and I have a little bit more space, thank you 💚
Oh this takes me back. I fell for the low light myths. If your home has no natural light, buy grow lights and be done with it. Or go through slowly murdering the plants you bought, like I did. Learning the hard way sucks.
thanks for the video witch of thise clan the air best, or better. I wand a jungle box in a darker room, that can help with the air inside. im gonna add a growlight and have a water diffuser to spray then 1time a day.
I was thinking of starting an online plant store but I've heard you talk about the fact that you had one but no longer do can you give me any advice or maybe the reason why you don't do it any longer? It's too personal that's okay I just thought I'd ask. I'm in Austin Texas by the way. 😉
No no, ask away! I chatted about it a bit in my most recent plant chores video, but there were multiple reasons. I'm going to make a video soon about my experience starting up a plant shop and the realities of it x
I killed a prayer plant within a week.. I’m kind of a beginner with humidity tho. I have pothos for years and grow well with extreamly little natural light and grow mainly on my normal house light bulb. Same with my dwarf umbrellas, neon pothos and ZZs. I would like to find more plants that don’t need to be misted and will tolerate my light bulb since I don’t expect to move anytime soon. The plants that I tried once and didn’t make the cut were: prayer plant, English ivy, lipstick plant (gave it away after a while). Plants I think might work (researched but not deep research): lucky bambo, spider plant, snake plant.
I saw some realy nice wild variegated Ivy down by my local B&Q , light green with the off white edges . I tried propagating through the recent horror heat wave in the uk though & I think that was the wrong idea.. But I’m going to try again through October with my indoor grow house
I have a snake plant variety that is 11 years old now. Just did my final report with it, if it starts to outgrow this home then I will have to just harvest her pups
In my experience prayer plants are picky & ivies grow better outside & some peperomnias are picky too as is the nerve plants are not easy either. I've never had cast iron plants . Chinese Evergreens & peace lilies & zz's as well as spiders are easy dracenas are very easy as are most monstetas. I do agree with the majority of plants you listed. I would also add some succulents & cacti & yucca & agates too. Snake plants have many new varieties out in the stores & garden ships to choose from..I'm over 65 & have bern gardening/ houseplants since I learned from my dad at a very young age.i was born with 2 green thumbs. There are always new cultivars being introduced to the public. Thank you.
I loved my dieffenbachia plant when I first got it. I quickly realized that it was always thirsty. I usually do once a week watering of all my plants, but this guy was needing about every other day watering. I had to rehome him but would love to get another one. Do you have any tips for extra thirsty plants?
Sometimes if plants have been used to certain conditions (i.e. high sun) and then are suddenly moved to a new environment it can send them into shock. I'd say try and make the transition as gentle as possible and try to mimic it's outdoor conditions for a while, gradually easing it into life with you indoord
Hi, Your plants are lovely. And your collection is super beautiful. I have a prayer plant which I recently bought and I see se browning on the leaves of it. I don't see any infection of mold or spider mites though. I gave it some food as well but even after that new leaf tips are browning. With your experience can you help me understand what might be wrong here?? Thanks in advance. Awaiting your reply.
Hi, based on my experience, my mom got a huge anthurium magnificum on our terrace and two of my dogs loved chewing on the huge leaves until it was only one leaf left from 5 leaves. They're super fine until now as this happened around 3 months ago. So i think anthuriums are pet-friendly meaning they're not toxic?
So half of these plants I managed so successfully kill off.. I really wish you'd do a video on low temp plants. I have -10C during winter on my hallway and they all just died the first winter. Sadly, no other location in the house to have the plants..
Im such a bad plant parent that I’ve killed pathos >( I want to start having plants that are easy and safe for cats. Can you recommend me just one to start? Thanks
Hi great video thankyou for all the info....I'm a new subbie now! Just wondered if the Dracaena grows into a plant with a trunk? I have a plant with a trunk and the leaves are the same as the plant you showed. I was given this plant when my friend moved house and she didnt know what it was called....any info would be great...thanks. x
Hiya! Yes I believe over time they can develop a longer cane or "trunk"... My friend has a lemon lime with a long trunk (I've personally never grown one to such a mature plant of that scale from a baby though) 💚
Hiya! I'm simply going from my own experience having lived in multiple dark places over the years with lots of plants. As I said towards the end of the video (not sure if you watched this bit or not) but even if some plants are "coping" it doesn't mean they'll be thriving in the same way as they would if you were to increase their light. I fully acknowledge that a lot of these plants would do better in brighter light, they're just on this list as I know they're more than capable of surviving in darker spots x
The pilea can cope with low light? I'm completely new to house plants and just got 2 tiny pileas - I'm just confused because the last thing I read was that they needed a lot of bright light!
When you say it's harder to care for, what does that mean? I have some plants said to be "easy" struggling, and some people say are hard thriving. I don't understand :/ lol
This is literally me, as well. If any of those "easies" you have are succulents, lilies, ivy, diffenbachia, or peperomia, don't believe them. I have killed or gotten super wonky versions of them all! While ficus, aglaonema, pothos, and spider plants are *actually* easy and a tip is to use water globes or underwater 3 out of 4 times.
What's the secret, why you are always with a smile and elated? Have you been so from a childhood, or it's in your family environment? Or you keep yourself up for shooting? Or you learnt it from somewhere while you were growing? Or you take antidepressants or a glass of wine before shooting?... Why you are so shiny?
Hahaha aww this made me chuckle! To be honest I'm usually just excited to film and get to do what I love chatting about plants and making vids on them 💚 Some days are a slight mission, but usually once I get going I absolutely love it 😁
As a cat owner I LOVE that you say which plants are toxic so I don't have to google every few minutes. Huge THANK YOU
Yes. I’ve a new-ish 2 year old that thinks I have plants just for her to chew. I’ve learned: no pony tail palms, no ferns, no plant with waving leaves at all. Lol. She also nibbles pathos leaves (not enough to get sick it seems) and my snake plants have a few teeth holes in them. We’ve had to have discussions about the chewing. Luckily, as she’s aged she’s getting better about it.
Parrot owners too thank you!
I was about to comment the same thing. It hadn’t even occurred to me to find out what plants are toxic to pets before buying them
really appreciate this as well but for my cat there is no such thing as “out of reach” lol

I think it’s so interesting you have Hoya as a low light option! I’ve always thought of them as high light plants!!!
My hoya was dying in my dark living room and I had to rescue it and put it in my kitchen.
I have a 30 year old aspidistra love them ,bought a variegated one as well this year x
Ooooh a variegated one sounds beautiful!

Air cleaning plants is a huge myth. Some plants do have filtering abilities, but you'd need hundreds of them in a room to have significant improvements.
From penny to penny you get to the dollar! 🌹
You forget how crazy plant lovers can easily have more than hundreds.
You're right. They did an experiment in outer space on it. The conditions needed for it to filter air... Not livable in the first place lol. So even with hundreds, it's marginal. Improves mood tho 😊
Love seeing all the hundreds of plants at cancer hospital
I have a fiddle leaf fig in a very low light area (on the end of the bath below and to the side of an east facing window) and it’s fine and has put out new leaves over the year it’s been there.

Thank you for mentioning toxicity! I have parrots that I have to watch out for. And they reach every corner of the house. Thanks!
My monstera deliciosa started declining after I brought it inside ... I rescued it from a tenant that abandoned it... it was outside in full sun 🌞
Sometimes if plants have been used to certain conditions (i.e. high sun) and then are suddenly moved to a new environment it can send them into shock. I'd say try and make the transition as gentle as possible and try to mimic it's outdoor conditions for a while, gradually easing it into life with you indoord
P.s. I hope it bounces back!
Do you have a video talking about plants that like high lighting conditions?
Seem like those are all new plants
I rarely see any hoya in the shops here (like garden centers and B&Q) maybe I need to find some more niche plant shops, and I'll take a look on Etsy.
I've seen more recently in some garden centres, but generally I've found specific houseplant shops to be the best for finding hoyas 💚
@@TheJungleHaven thanks for the tip, Claire 💚
i add led lights in some spots for the light

Hiya! Yes I believe over time they can develop a longer cane or "trunk"... My friend has a lemon lime with a long trunk (I've personally never grown one to such a mature plant of that scale from a baby though) 💚
snake plants in low light are easy to overwater
I have always been good with plants BUT last year I moved. This winter most rooms are only 10° and have lost 20% of my lovely plants 😭
A lot of this isn't quite correct - many of these are not species adapted for low light but simply slow to show signs of etiolation or deterioration
Hiya! I'm simply going from my own experience having lived in multiple dark places over the years with lots of plants. As I said towards the end of the video (not sure if you watched this bit or not) but even if some plants are "coping" it doesn't mean they'll be thriving in the same way as they would if you were to increase their light. I fully acknowledge that a lot of these plants would do better in brighter light, they're just on this list as I know they're more than capable of surviving in darker spots x
Do you also rotate your monsteras? I thought the leaves liked to face one particular direction.
Yea they move towards the sunlight fast, rotate to keep them full
The pilea can cope with low light? I'm completely new to house plants and just got 2 tiny pileas - I'm just confused because the last thing I read was that they needed a lot of bright light!
It can't. I have one and it requires lots of light otherwise the leaves fall off
Im happy you said the snake plant a dracena by my correction
Yes! I typed Sansevieria and debated for a while whether or not to change it haha
On a lux meter, how many lux is low light & how many lox is medium light & high light?
Hi ! Is that cactus ?
How much watering you Hoya plant?
When you say it's harder to care for, what does that mean? I have some plants said to be "easy" struggling, and some people say are hard thriving. I don't understand :/ lol
This is literally me, as well. If any of those "easies" you have are succulents, lilies, ivy, diffenbachia, or peperomia, don't believe them. I have killed or gotten super wonky versions of them all! While ficus, aglaonema, pothos, and spider plants are *actually* easy and a tip is to use water globes or underwater 3 out of 4 times.
In Brazil we call the monstera deliciosa of Adam's ribs.
Thank you so much for the update on low light house plants. Please share a video on calathia.
I've actually already made a video on calatheas - it was one of the first ones I uploaded, so if you scroll back to my first videos it'll be there!
You are beautiful ! :)
What's the secret, why you are always with a smile and elated? Have you been so from a childhood, or it's in your family environment? Or you keep yourself up for shooting? Or you learnt it from somewhere while you were growing? Or you take antidepressants or a glass of wine before shooting?... Why you are so shiny?
Hahaha aww this made me chuckle! To be honest I'm usually just excited to film and get to do what I love chatting about plants and making vids on them 💚 Some days are a slight mission, but usually once I get going I absolutely love it 😁
💚
What d o you mean Syngoniums are toxic? I can't have them in my room with me? (honest question, new to plants)
Probably meant toxic to pets. If they eat them
