I love how you can pronounce the scientific names so easily. ...and your memory is simply amazing.
Fun fact: ZZ in latin means "fohhgetth aaabout it"
Thanks for not doing to same old, same old easy care plants. Thanks for adding fresh and new plant options.
The zz plant is considered a lucky plant in Asia. It brings luck and prosperity :-)
I actually almost killed my ZZ. When you say don’t water often, that’s no joke! 😂
When you pulled out the silver spotted pothos, I literally said out loud *YES*!!! I absolutely adore that plant. It's soooo beautiful and loves to vine and climb 🌱💕
I'm here just because I saw it in the thumbnail. I can't keep these happy if my life depended on it. Lol
I appreciate you showing plants that you’ve actually had a years of experience or more with. Can you share a video about over fertilization? What does that look like? How to fix it? Thanks!!
i LOVE my monstera deliciosa. i got it a few months ago and once it was repotted, it just keeps growing and growing. it is just lovely and large and im so happy with it. it makes me so happy and it's so rewarding
Ok, cool! I am so thankful that you posted this! I will be getting some, if not all, of these... but one at a time. I appreciate this so much!! 💖
Thank you for being so informational and helpful!! Much appreciated for us beginners
You are so knowledgeable and I love your passion to the plants. I share the same passion to my plants as well. I also like how you also include the care and your watering methods to each plant. Although I know every plant and condition is different in every home, that really helped me understand the plants’ watering needs. Thank you for making a video like this and giving a different top 5 from other’s ! Keep up the good work.
Hi Nick, I love your videos, very informative. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge of plants.
I’ve learned so much in this one video! I love your tips on knowing when to water. I’m always anxious about reading my plants and I do tend to over water.
Love your videos. Always look forward to a new one. Thanks for sharing !!
Love all these videos, thanks for sharing!!
Love your vids so much Nick!!!! It has helped me a lot trying to translate what I’m learning in school to customers and why certain practices will help your plants thrive better. Thank you so much 😊 good vibes and flower power your way from the Midwest corn fields 🌪🌽❤️❤️🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🐝🐝🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏🙏🧚♀️🍀🍀🍀🌵🌵🌷🌷🌸🌸
Tetrasperma is my new favorite!! Bought it on a whim not knowing what it was, and I LOVE it!! Just the cuttings in a glas is beautiful!
Love your choices! Thank you💚🌿🌻
Your plants look so lush and healthy!
Very informative. Thanks for the suggestions. I like to give plants as gifts to family & friends & I want them to be successful taking care of the plants. I like the way you have plants in the background in your videos.
I love your channel so I don't forgetto click that thumbs up buttonI love your plants it's like a jungle in your apartmentit looks greatI use the microphone on my tablet to type this comment so hopefully I'll find all the mistakes before I push apply the comment button. I've been watching you for a long time and you have great insight into plants and where they go and I love love love how you can pronounce all those Latin names great job. I don't have cable TV anymore so I've gone to UA-cam for my entertainment and I am amazed at the talented people producing plant and garden videos. you rank up there in the top 10 but I don't have any particular order but I enjoy your videos very much. One of my subscription people Carolyn on Jacqueline's orchids and Jacqueline is spelled j a c o l y n combination of her name and her husband's name Jack. She suggested that I start filming even if it's only for my own benefit so I did start feeling my orchid collection and a few a tiny bit of my houseplants. I finally got brave enough to start my own UA-cam channel so if you go to Kathleen Murphy and add the word orchids coleus philodendron indoor house plants into the search engine along with my name you will find me. I would appreciate any subscriptions and especially any comments that you would leave for me to read. And of course I'd like you to click the like button. I'm 70 years old and this is all new to me so I finally been brave enough to make my own channel. I have lots and lots of house plans I have five gardenia trees I've managed to keep alive for three Winters I have coleus that I've managed to keep alive for the winter and now hundreds of babies for men to have outside on the patio I have a big collection of alocasia and colocasia but I just acquired this summer I'm going to do a video on and I separated the babies and I think I'll do a video on separating the babies from the mother plant because I bought more at Lowe's. They have them $9.99 some of them are Mismarked.. but please come to my channel I have a big phalaenopsis orchid collection also around 40 and I'm going to do a repotting video of supermarket and Lowe's orchids and how to tell if you're buying a good orchid. Please come join me at my station or Channel whatever we call this on UA-cam I really want to have a two-way conversation instead of one way with people that I love watching their videos thanks in advance for coming and joining and subscribing and commenting and liking
Would you show us how you water all your plants? I'd love to see how you approach it.
I'm loving your cat lol! he must be loving the sunlight and all of the plants
Great video. Love all of your flowers......they are gorgeous 😊
Nick, you're the best. Keep being you :) thanks
oh my hell you are just so adorable!!
I finally feel confident in owning plants again without accidentally killing them! Thank you 😊
Love all your plants very good information thank you
Hey! I also have a parallel peperomia. It’s growing well! Always very rewarding to see a new set of leaves forming!
Beautiful plants! 😍💕
Awesome Nick, thank you for sharing these five plants, the Monstera is too large for my house, but maybe I could find a small one and then my space can adapt to it. I love my ZZ plant, super easy to grow. I always thought the scindapsus was a satin pothos, awesome I learned something new, and I have this plant, and I have noticed when it needs a drink that it's leaves curl like you mentioned. The scindapsus Exoctica is on my wish list along with the Silver Ann. Thank you again Nick this was a great and helpful video, see you again soon.
Thanks for another great video. Thank you so much for addressing the issue of there being a small and a larger ZZ. I saw a huge one in a hospital lobby that was jaw dropping. I couldn't understand why mine didn't have the nice thick stems and big size after four years. Many people, like myself, thought that a ZZ was a ZZ. I am now in search of the larger variety.
Love your show thanks for sharing.
Scindapsus pictus is at the top of my wishlist right now. It's my birthday in a few weeks, might have to finally buy myself one!!!
Thank you I just got that same peperomia for free at a garden center I love it so pretty!! Thanks for the information!!
Thanks for the tip on the lower yellowing leaves on the scindapsus pictus being an indicator of overwatering. I just plucked two off as I watered her again😩.
That kitty in the background!!!! ^_______^
Monstera is really gorgeous and a beauty to put indoor.
When it comes to easy, I can't say enough about a Cast Iron Plant, Aspidistra elatior.
Agreed! Mine has come back from the brink of death several times back in my neglectful days. Now I’m making amends and he’s fabulous.
I so enjoy your videos! and those Monsteras DO get huge. I had to move mine from my bedroom to the patio so it could 'spread out'
Piante meravigliose!!!👍👍👍
Love your videos 👍 you are the best
Agree on the Rapidophora - it is incredibly easy and grows madly!
you make my plant addiction so much easier! hahah I am like ahhh i need that one and that one!! lets trade cuttings of our babies!
Newbie here. Thanks Nick!
I got my scindapsus pictus exotica a week ago and I love it. I've had my Silver Lady maybe a month and its growing nicely. Love your videos and plant collection.
I love all those flower now I have ideas what to get to add my one of a kind what I have. In my house.
Qué lindas están todas las plantas. Felicidades
💘 ur plants beautiful
This was great
My measure meter (water, light, ph) says my entire room in our attic is dark but my ZZ got about 8 new fronds this year! I’ve had it since late May 🙌🏽 i water it about once a month, haven’t fertilized really since I first got it and repotted, seems to be very happy 🤗
I got a Scindapsus pictus recently because it was so interesting looking! I was guilty of assuming it was a pothos. I’m very happy to hear that it’s easy to know when to water it. I’m hoping it will like my North facing window sill.
Awesome information I’ve learned so much thank you, thank you, thank you. The only thing that I’m concerned about is that I share my home with several cats and I’ve been doing research on toxic plants. Which causes me to put all my plants on the wall or on high shelves where they can’t get to them. However I would love to have my place look like yours but I’m afraid the cats will try to eat them and it will make them sick. I wish the growers would put warning labels on plants that when you buy one you will know if it’s toxic or not and u would know where to place it out of reach. Just because a plant is toxic doesn’t mean I’m not gonna buy it of course I will or I wouldn’t have any plans because a number of them are toxic. I just wish that I knew which ones were without having to dig and research it. I got brave yesterday and placed a cat palm in my living room because I learned they were not toxic and my cat started munching away. I moved it because I don’t want it pruned daily. LOL. Love your videos.
Love your videos! Can you do a video on the best plants for east facing windows, west facing windows, etc..
My garden center finally brought in some scindapsus pictus! Grabbed one up. Hopefully I can keep it alive.
Hey! I’m a new plant parent that didn’t think I liked plants / flowers at all but I’ve discovered that I love green plants (they’re so cool!!) & like 1,5 months ago I got myself two spider plants & yesterday I got an sansevieria & I love them! 😍 I have a question; do you have some type or artificial lighting to your plants that needs more light that you can’t live them through natural lighting? I only have north facing windows & I don’t want to be restrained in which type of plants I can get because of that. Keep on making videos! I love how chill & nice they’re to watch & it really shines through how much you love plants ☺️
I propagated a zz plant by putting 4 leaves in water, that was mid-March this year, they’re only starting to grow a baby plant this week, I can see 3 baby plants. So not the fastest way to propagate. ... But, it was an experiment. I’m not a big fan of zz plants, it’s ok it’s small, I don’t want a big mature specimen. Thank you for sharing your top 5 easy to care for plants 🌱
Glad to hear that the rhaphidora tetrasperma is so easy to grow! The price tags on those babies are too high for it not to be
Are there any attractive edible plants that would grow nicely in those wall mount plant holders that you showed in one video? I have low-medium light. Thanks! I really loved some of these plants and appreciate the care tips.
Hi Nick! Thank you for sharing what you know. How about soil? I have a small photos and was in water to grow roots and finally plant it in an organic soil and so far not growing at all😖
Very nice i have on my wish list the ZZ plant And the Monstra Deliciousa little pricie but i found a elaphant plant but I'm on 1 leaf left out of 3 it has the sign of a new leaf trying to break out i just moved it i think it was cold next to the A.C unit so i moved it to the orher window. Hoping that helps
If you get another cat I think peperomia is a cute name...
What propagation method did you use with you raphidaphora? I’ve heard some cautions when propagating causing me to hold off on cutting it.
I love the pot that you have the scindaptus pictus in! Does anybody know where I could find one like that or similar?
could you do a video on these new tissue culture rhaphidophora tetrasperma that are popping up everywhere? I have them and love them and am so happy to know that most people agree that they are in fact tissue culture rhaphs, but I would love to see someone with your expertise do a deep dive on the differences between these and the larger leaf varieties we see selling for higher prices. if you want one for research purposes, I'm happy to send you one :)
Very interesting video! I wish my Raphidaphora would grow as quick too. Mine has only grown like two leaves and I've had it for over a year. No idea what I'm doing wrong. It's alive and it looks healthy, it's just not growing
How often do you water your rhaph tetrasperma? Does it like to dry out between watering? Thank you! :)
Do any of these plants tolerate cooler temperatures. I don't like heat so I keep my home quite cool.
13:10 Only if you live in the northern hemisphere ...
Considering that you grow them indoor, how do you water them and not damage or get the flooring wet?
Will you be selling cuttings of your raphidophora on your Etsy?
I am struggling with siver pothos that u hv shown first...its in a bright spot...giving it seaweed extract once in three weeks I guess...but its not growing well...new leaves r very small.
I want a scindapsus but haven’t found any in my area ; o ;
I am very interested in how ZZ plant get in a dark windowless bathroom or bedroom without a grow light in those rooms. You may as well tell them that they could quit a plant in a closet I'm not sure how that's going to work out have they ever come back and told you. my ZZ plant loves the light I have it outside right now and it's just loving it it's doubled in size the old-growth hasn't grown any taller but it's double the amount of stocks that has and they're twice as high as when I bought it. The pot is deformed the nursery pot that is and I've got to replant it before it breaks the ceramic pot but it's placed in as a cash pot. The microphone on my tablet keyboard doesn't know how to spell the proper cash CA c h e oh dear oh well I can't go back and correct it because it's too time-consuming. I also have been using the leftover nutrient water that has fertilizer seaweed emotion and epsom salts in it after my orchid soak. I know the seaweed fertilizer has hormones in the towel plant what to do grow leaves grow flowers grow roots and my orchids are doing wonderful with it.
I see you try to edit out them eye rolls when you mentioned golden pothos 👀👀👀
My zz plant is like two twigs. Can I purchase another an add it into the same pot? So its fuller, or should I not?
Could one do the taco test on a waxy Hoya? Because I tried it once and broke the leaf 😳
Oh my word!! Can you please tell me the name of the plant that I see a leaf over hanging over your not a monstera plant in the back. I have one and I just can not find out what kinda plant it is. 🙏
You are such a sweetheart.. I love you 💕
Where do you recommend purchasing a rhaphidophora tetrasperma online?
I've got myself a freak ZZ plant who's grown SO much since I got her and last week it grew about 8 inches in 5 days. I'm on vacation right now and I fear it might have taken over my apartment when I come home.
Where can you find the exotica? Most the ones I’ve found is also labeled as the silver Ann and satin pothos. The ones labeled as exotica are green, not blue-green like the one you showed, including Pistil’s Nursery.
Good morning Nick. Great video! My ZZ, although growing well, is not as dark green as it used to be when I bought it. (I’m not speaking of the new growth). I give it bright indirect light. Do you think that its getting too much light? Also its not glossy anymore either. Also do you get dark spots on the stems? Thank you!
I'm not Nick, but I had the same problem. I pulled my ZZ back about 3 ft. from the bright indirect light and it's doing great now !!
Kristy Thomas Thank you Kristy!!! I’ll do it!! 🌱💚
Its funny how Rhaphidophora tetrasperma is sold that expensive in the US whereas I bought one yesterday in Germany in quite a big size for 9€ 😂
I would love to have a Rhaphidophora tetrasperma but they're just too expensive, and I don't really understand why. They apparently grow really fast, and "like weeds" as you mention, so I don't know why the supply/demand hasn't brought down the price on them. The average price is about 135$ which is insanely expensive. I like Monstera deliciosa too, but I don't have the space for it, which is why I'd prefer the Rhaphidophora tetrasperma. I keep hoping I might just be able to get a small cutting.
Which plants can survive in a north facing window? Besides a zz, snake plant or golden Pothos? I have a room with a north facing window that gets good light (probably not considered bright since of course no direct sun is coming through) and I would like to know other plants can live there. I have a wandering Jew cutting on the window sill that is sprouting small growth faster than expected and has gotten that nice purple shimmer. I just hope it doesn’t die!
Fittonia, episcia, peperomia rosso, dumb cane
Top 5 hardest to care for plants(in your experience)
Any way I can get a cutting of the tetrasperma☹️😍
I want to get a monstera deliciosa, but I'm really intimidated by its size, because so far I'm only growing succulents and a golden pothos
I’ve had THREE monstera deliciosas (from different stores) and all of them eventually died from thrips. they are very pest prone and it’s not easy to treat on such a big plant with so many places for bugs to hide
Need the first two scindapsis pictus, the pep. Tetragona and the tetraspermaaa!!!!!
Exotica does grow slow!
Nick, why won't my zz cutting not root. Everything else has
Linda Nehls mine rooted and it took 4 months
Zz has been great...and growing great... my monstera has many babies...would you suggest I pruned those?
SuperChicChick ont prune the babies!! Are they sprouting from the soil? You can carefully dig those out and repot them. Fill the hole with some extra soil.
If the leaf growth is getting out of hand you can prune at a node (where the leaves sprout from the stem and make sure it has a little root nubbin thingy$ you can pop it in some water and grow yourself a brand new monstera.
Monstera propagate easily and you can give them as gifts and I’ve seen a lot of people selling their cuttings online.
Oh I didn’t know that monstera is a “easy” Plant 😱
I have a scindapsus pictus and always call it my philodendron. I never knew it's not even a philodendron! why do they call it that then??
Someone please help me I got the most beautiful satin pothos vining already white a lot but the leaves at the bottom aren't forming properly and have black spots😭😭 I have no idea what's wrong. The soil came wet
Sorry *scindapsus
If I bring a plant home and the soil is sopping wet I typically repot the plant in fresh soil and do not water it....allow the plant's root ball to dry out some.
@@just_g7140 thank you, are black spots a sign of over watering then?
How is monstera not a philodendron? Isn't it P. Pertusum?
OOoooooooo....sell me a piece of your Rappy pleeeeeeeze??????? I live pretty close to you, but in NJ.
I keep killing my scindapsus plants :/ I don’t know what I’m doing wrong
Tell us how u take care of it :)
I think my zz is dying 😭😭😭😭 I barely water it I just moved it back in my house
why all aroids?
