    Weird take, but my favourite thing about my cebu blue is that it’s leaves are suuuper flat. It’s SO satisfying. As an artist, it’s like they’ve been made out of paper. It’s so sculptural!

    Love your choice of faves. Mine is the Cebu blue also, & 6 times is a charm; it’s finally growing up a moss pole. Thanks for sharing Emma!

    I love how most are very common! just shows how price doesn't matter what makes us happy is all that matters when it comes to plants :), I just wanted to share I went to a garden center recently that had this things to keep plants more compact, I bought a few and added them to my anthuriums so the leaves don't go everywhere, its a stake with a ring around and all the leaves go inside the ring, it works a treat! you get more space for more plants 😅

    • @GoodGrowing
      @GoodGrowing  Рік тому +1

      Agreed! Though it's super fun to collect rare and unusual plants, I find the cheaper staples often bring me the most joy long term

  • @ingrida1121
    @ingrida1121 Рік тому +6

    with cebu blue, unfortunately the bigger the leaves get, the less blue they have, so you will be trading off the blue for splits in leaves

  • @louisedreisig6166
    @louisedreisig6166 Рік тому +3

    I really love how many of these are common, inexpensive plants! It's really not all about the hype and price tag. I love the Cebu Blue and fern leaf cactus as well, and a Glorious is high on my wishlist!

    So many of my faves on here! Great summary of these plants. Thanks Emma- love your videos. My fern leaf cactus has gone crazy this year. Have had it for about 2 yrs. I chopped off a few bits and stuck them in the pot and all took well and are already pushing out loads of growth. Once it gets going it really takes off. Really want it to flower one day. I’m also in love with cebu blue. Just as easy to grow and prop as an aureum. It’s so lovely to see your glorious. I got a baby plant and it’s growing like crazy and am on the second chop and extend after only 4 months or less. Excited to get it sized up to something approaching your stunning specimen.

  • @taylorstewart8309
    @taylorstewart8309 Рік тому +2

    Great choices:) I think my top ten would be my hoya mathilde, euphorbia leuconera, norfolk pine, peperomia incana, scindapsus exotica, philo white wizard, philo nangaritense, philo squamiferum, ag silver bay, aaand alocasia black velvet!

    • @Paula-sw2tt

  • @snt9518
    @snt9518 Рік тому +2

    Let's see, mine would be Anthurium vittarifolium, Monstera esqueleto, deliciosa thai con. and obliqua peru, the variegated string of tears, Ceropegia linearis, Dischidia nummularia and dragon jade, Peperomia columella, Aspidistra elatior, Muehlenbeckia axillaris, Epipremnum shangri la, Ficus alii, and both Pilea sugar and mojito. But I could absolutely expand the list :D

  • @shaymaashawkatal-shakarchi2789

    Hi, I loved your choice. Aglonema sliver queen is so beautiful and easy to care. 🌸

  • @TheSunDancerPlantHub

    Love, love my scindapsus too. 🪴Love my philodendron moonlight, have an alocasia pink dragon that is stunning. Philodendron Dean McDowell is taking over the house. 😊🌱

  • @aspirativemusicproduction2135

    I like the top 3 or 4. I have some of them. Scindapsus pictus argirius is doing better than Scindapsus pictus exotica in my case so I kept multiplying it. That's my favorite. Cebu blue is cool because you can grow it hanging with blue leafs or grow it big on a pole. So it's 2 in 1 plant.

  • @blackburned
    @blackburned Рік тому +1

    Really love your fern leaf cactus! It reminds me of my ric rac cactus (epiphyllum anguliger)

  • @MissSyrinxie
    @MissSyrinxie Рік тому

    I love the Cebu Blue too! I have found mine to be highly susceptible to rot in my home and I am always having to restart it! Luckily it is super easy to re-root in stratum, perlite, and even just water. My most favorite plant in my collection changes all the time depending on what is growing. I am currently absolutely in love with my Monstera Albo though! She is a constant stunner. Thanks for a fun video :)

    • @GoodGrowing
      @GoodGrowing  Рік тому

      hmm that's so odd! I've never had any issues with cebu blue rotting. glad you still love it though! Such an amazing plant! And I totally feel you about how favourites change. It was tough to try and get that out of my mind when picking these

    • @MissSyrinxie
      @MissSyrinxie Рік тому

      @GoodGrowing I realized after posting my last comment that I got my Cebu Blue Pothos from Costa Farm in the US (sold in big box stores) and I often have quite a lot of the plants I get from them to be susceptible to root rot. Solved a mystery today! Hopefully as I chop and prop it I have less of that problem :)

  • @Nutamago
    @Nutamago Рік тому

    I love the fastest growing plants that most people dismiss; such as scindapsus exotica, cebu blue pothos, adansonii, and tetrasperma.
    they just multiply happiness rapidly. it's not instant gratification, it just love to grow! lol
    you might want to have colocasia's family, their leaves are hydrophobic. so you know it's gonna look awesome everyday xD

    • @GoodGrowing
      @GoodGrowing  Рік тому

      ooh v interesting! I'll have to give colocasia a go sometime! thanks!

  • @Paula-sw2tt
    @Paula-sw2tt 4 місяці тому

    While not my absolute favorite, my Cebu Blue and Manjula are definitely in the top ten on my list of favorites. I would have such a difficult time picking my top ten favorite plants! I don't even know if I could do it. I do know that my large Domino Peace Lily would be on it.

  • @irairod5160
    @irairod5160 Рік тому

    My favorites are Scindapsus pictus Exotica, Alocasia Stingray, ponytail palm, 2 Hoya carnosa (K. Queen and K. Princess) that I have on trellises , and Calathea (now Goeppertia) lancifolia "rattlesnake".

    • @irairod5160
      @irairod5160 Рік тому

    I'm surprised there are not any comments about the cat 😂 I was not able to concentrate when the cat was on the screen (during bird of paradise), because of how cute it was :D
    I'm new to your channel, and I love it :) and I'm taking notes about plants as a beginner plant parent. I don't have any from your list, but I added some on my Wishlist :) I don't have any Hoyas and I hope to buy some in the near future. And rhaphidophora tetrasperma seems really exciting :)

    • @GoodGrowing

  • @tarrenkittie1532
    @tarrenkittie1532 Рік тому

    I absolutely love my raphidaphora tetrisperma, I just bought my second one this year and it has done amazing. My favorite pothos is marble/snow queen, it just keeps putting out wonderfully variegated leaves. I'm obsessed with Hoya obavato, I love the leaf shape and hopefully I will have one again. I adore my string of hearts and just got a string of turtles and pearls. My coffee table is being taken over lol I am excited to regrow my collection after having to leave the plants that didn't die during the winter with my mom.
    P.S my mom has claimed the survivors and won't send them to me lol

  • @torquess454

    Funny, I concur with bird of paradise pushing out a new leaf late summer, both in my one pot are, ones out now hardening, one is starting to unfurl, AND THEYRE HUGE!! Apparently I’m giving enough light!
    How do you do semi hydro without a water reservoir? I need to find a new way to grow my succulents too!
    Omgosh, I’m new to the plant world this year, I hate how nurseries name plants sometimes, I just realized that I have a grail plant off my list already, labeled as a mini Monstera, it’s a Rhaphidophora tetrasperma!!! I feel like an idiot! But, I’m so excited lol

    • @GoodGrowing
      @GoodGrowing  Рік тому

      for cacti & succus I just use normal nursery pots with the semi-hydro substrate and don't put them in cache pots or with reservoirs. I tend to water about once a month at the moment

  • @beccandriani
    @beccandriani Рік тому

    We share the same love towards fern leaf cactus! It's actually my 3rd favorite (2nd is aglonema silver queen, 1st is marble queen pothos). Tomorrow is my plant haul schedule and I have committed to buy two more pots of fern leaf cactus. It's very cheap too here in Indonesia, if it's converted to US$ it'd be only $1 (you get 4-5 tails per pot!) 😂😂

    • @GoodGrowing
