Hey! Come take a look at all of my houseplants! I have close to 100 plants & I thought it would be fun to walk around my house & show you all of the plants I currently own. I currently go plant shopping like 2 times a week so I'm sure plenty of new green children will be added to the gang here soon :P
My mom gave me a plant when i moved into my first solo apartment, and man, this plant never need water and it was in an area with, literally, no sun light. It kept perfect color all throughout the year. When she came to visit me I was excited to show her my new pad and I pointed out the plant and if she remembers giving it to me and she said yes. No sun light very very little water. She was impressed. And she looked at me the only way a mother can look set her son and she told me it was plastic. She told me she didn't think I would be responsible enough to take care of a plant. Instead I wish she would have looked at me and simply said it looks beautiful. To this day I have two black thumbs and I have to paint my dead lawn every six weeks. I have a degree in agriculture
😂
loll
That's an awesome story... hahaha... I have a similar one or not: long ago I bought a fake orchid because I killed one before and I really liked the look so I didn't care, I had a fake one. My dad came to visit (from another country) and stayed for about a year. He had regularly watered the orchid and felt good about himself because the orchid was always in good shape with the the bloom. I didn't know he was doing that until it's almost time for him to return....we had a good laugh and I think about my dad every time I see a fake plant...
Hahaha
Just learned about the benefits of plants and I'm not super responsible so I appreciate this!
Golden Pothos is def the easiest plant I've ever had. It was my 2nd or 3rd plant and it's grown like crazy! We've given cuttings off of it, divided it into 3 separate pots.... just super easy & fast growing. I even have some in my bedroom growing in just water. Amazing! Love your videos!
I bought a Chinese Evergreen for my daughter to have on her desk while studying for exams 3 years ago, and it's still beautiful and going strong. She has just moved out to go to college and we were able to take one of the babies and re-pot for her to take with her to its new home! Super easy to care for. I don't baby it at all. Water it when I remember. A great beginner plant!!!
I absolutely killed a ZZ, AND rescued one (parts of one)...thanks to you. :) I took cuttings from a coworker, not even knowing if they'd root, but had no idea what it was. After planting and a couple couple kitten mishaps it was ok but not really thriving. So, I did what made the most sense and put it in bright light. After moving it around some and still finding it sad and yellowing I saw your video on Low-light Plants. I've been into house plants FOREVER but only discovered a community of plant lovers and videos a few months ago. Silly me. Anyway, I saw your video, stuck it in a dark(ish) corner, and BOOM! It almost immediately shot up two new stalks. I mostly just leave it alone now. It's not great yet but it is definitely coming into it. I'm also rooting another... Yay. Thanks for the help.
Also, I did the same for my Norfolk Pine and got the same results. It is no longer dry and crispy. LOL!
Had the same happen with a zz. I tried so hard to take care of it and eventually gave up so I put under a desk I had near my front door so I could throw it out and before I knew it was huge and beautiful! Crazy plants!
oh my gosh yay! I am so honored you saved the ZZ from my video. That is incredible! I am so happy you figured it out!
I truly feel my money tree is such an easy plant. It was my gate way plant. Since I kept it alive for a year I finally felt responsible to buy more plants....and I hope I can keep all these alive another year fingers crossed
I have always loved plants but recently I have started out with house plants of my OWN..... 😂I'm so possessive about them....
This video was so helpful.. Thanks harli😁
Can you read down a list of the plants so I can look them up! Thank you
One of my first plants was a half dead looking peperomia. I really wanted it to survive because it looked so pretty with pink stems and variegated leaves. After a couple of months it suddenly started growing new leaves and now, a year later, it's really thriving and is so big and full! I even managed to water propagate it. So yeah, from my experience with a peperomia i would say it's a fairly easy beginner plant, as i had no idea what i was doing back then :)
Carina Yes!! Love my peperomia’s!!! I had a very similar experience
So good to know! I have accidentally killed several peperomias in the past from over watering, but I think I their care down now! Which kind is your favorite?!
I think you did an amazing job w this video! I have had a Peace Lily for 7 yrs now! The longest plant I have ever kept alive, so what you have said needs to be true. I would love to get another one. I plan on bringing this list with me to bring more plants into our home. Thank you for this info - It really does not get any better than nature!
Yes! I have had mine for eight years. My first plant.
After seeing your mother's video regarding the Bridal Veil, I bought one. Love, Love, Love this plant! Easy care and extraordinarily beautiful! Thank you, Harli, for all you do! Plant On!
IT really is! They even get gorgeous little FLOWERS! I love it so much. I'm happy you got one (:
Love your videos, I heard spider plants are easy but I killed one 😂 I think videos without a plan are best btw
I killed one too. Don't sweat it. My boyfriend's is healthy AF, and I've saved numerous plants of his :(
I agree with all your selections! I’ve had great success with peace lilies, pothos, spider plants & snake plants-I haven’t tried the others. I will definitely try the ones you recommend that I don’t have!
Yay! Let me know how it goes (:
thank you, Harli! I Love your tips. please, if you could write the names it would be great for us from others countries that may not understand English so well or might need the complete name to research for the popular local name. kisses from Brazil 💙
I believe the money tree is also beginner friendly. Great video I now know my nexts plants to get. The Zz plant.
bottle doo money tree ?
@@marg5863 Yes, it's beautiful and easy. My rabbit ate most of the foliage twice, and she grew back in FULL jusr a few weeks later.
"A ball of plant" 😆
Also, I think parlor palms are good for beginners!
I have about half of the ones you mentioned. I have to start neglecting my plants more often. Living in this dry climate I tend to overwater and have had several failures recently :( Love to see how your page subscribers continues to grow :)
Hi Harli... Nice video; the plant shelves behind you look great! I would like to add Euphorbia trigona to the list. It looks unusual, grows fast and tall, light or shade. Also all pelargoniums, hybrids, scented or species are easy....but they do need to be on a sunny windowsill. Best wishes!
oh my gosh! I just looked up the Euphorbia & it is so cool! I am adding it to my want list,
I’m currently propagating my polka dot plant to try to save it!
Im on my second one it does great then all of a sudden the leaves start falling off.
It’s actually a succulent but sempervivums aka “chicks and hens” are the easiest plant I’ve ever had. Plus they give you tons of babies!
Hey there! Do you still feel the same way about chickens and hens? I’m really interested in them
This video is great... spot on list and the information is reliable. You did a great job!
Haworthia are really easy care as far as succulents go, and are fine in medium light and brighter.
David Johnson I agree! Ppl say succulents are easy but they’re not, ive killed a lot! The only easy succulents are Haworth/zebra plant, snake plant, and aloes.
Thank you for your videos! I just got a Bridal veil vine because of your recommendation and I LOVE her already!!!!
Hedera Helix!!!! The plant that started my plant obsession. So easy and grows so fast.
Hey! I actually had one of these at the start & for some reason it hated everything I did for it :(
I agree snake plant is a great one to start your collection and succulents. Cactus is great one too as it's low maintenance. Would ya suggest celethea white fusion for beginner?
Ps what should I do my palor palm has browning on leaves what does that mean? 💚🌿
😍😍I want them all😭😭😭😭💖💖I'm saving this video for reference 😄
Yay thank you! LMK which you end up trying (:
I am loving my African violet. Gave away babies already and find it quite easy to care for.
Bobbi Kalmer I’ve grown them for 35 years and they ARE pretty much easy Care Plants. But I wish more people would just Google and look up how to care for them. Where I think most people fail with African violets is that they think that they need to stay wet. And then they drown them. They need a thorough watering, yes, but will turn to mush if they sit in water. And they need a bright spot to live but not direct sun (unless it’s gentle morning sun for a short while). Sounds like you have it all figured out 😊
Hi Harli,
Another underated or maybe not as well known plant I would also suggest is a "Florida Beauty". It prefers humidity but it grows really well as a beginner plant. I water it once a week with purified water. I used a diluted liquid fertilizer about twice a month over this summer. Also, airate the soil about once a month before watering. This will help to promote new growth around the roots and moderate light to indirect bright light. This was one of my first plants. I love it soooo much!🌿
I also have a snake plant, parlor Palm, (3) Curly Chinese bamboo Plant stalks, Baby Rubber Plant and Croton on Fire. Dracaenas grow well too. Be mindful that both the indoor and outdoor temperature and environmental air quality can also play a role in changes in your plants growth as well. I have not heard any UA-cam videos so far that mention this factor. I hope this is helpful. ☺😊 - Crystal
I have only just recently started seeing that plant pop up here and there! It reminds me a lot of a Chinese evergreen or gold dust croton... which I LOVE! I definitely plant to pick one up for myself soon. Thanks for the rec!
It might sound crazy but I always recommend that beginners try to grow Peppermint. It's really resilient but it's quick to let you know it's not happy. It's perfect for learning about watering, lighting & feeding. Also, the only way you can a ZZ plant is with fire! 😆
Love growing the mints! They also make great houseplants! An added bonus is rodents HATE mint so they stay away. Fresh mint in iced tea is delicious. You can dry the leaves & make mint tea (spearmint tea is my favorite!!
@@kimberlydeblois6365 I like the way you think! 😉👍
I always look for bridal veil vine in stores because you always talk about how quickly it grows and how easy it is, but I never see it anywhere!
Ditto!
My mom is holding a plant swap on her channel Saturday at 10am MST you should come join in ;) There may be some bridal veil! :P
My mom will be doing a live plant swap on Saturday at 10 am MST there will probably be some Bridal Veil there! (:
I bought my Bridal Veil on line. I cannot remember if I bought it at Steve's Leaves or Hirt's Gardens
12orange12 do you live in the NW US? I’ve seen it at Fred Meyer occasionally
You forgot Epipremnum Aureus and Pilea Peperomioides as easy plants for beginners.
But tbh, the most easy beginners plant for me is the Alocasia Zebrina and it is literally my first plant.
Everyone says that peace Lilly is an easy plant but I disagree... all my
Peace Lille’s have been fussy! I may give them a try later but not again anytime soon..... mine had burnt leaves, Brown tips.. you name it. I’m staying away from them for the time being...
I plan to do a care video on them soon because it appears quite a few people agree with you! But for me they have been very easy going.
They don’t do well for me and my way of plant care. They cramp my style! I feel like they are big babies always crying for more attention. I’m pretty sure it’s the dry heat from the winters here. But yeah, they wear me out trying to keep them happy in our climate.
5:28 I don't know if I'm writing the name of this wrong, or if there simply isn't any information on them :/
..so..next time you make lists like this, please write the names of the plants :P
SassuLPS try looking for "Madagascar jasmine vine" *it is the same as Bridal Veil Vine
you forgot fiddle leaf fig its easily one of the easiest plants to care for. the only thing to keep in mind is it doesnt like a lot of light so keep it in medium-low light but other than that its very easy
What?
That's called a brain fart... & I have them too #YoureNotAlone 😂😂
HAHAHA I am soooo happy to hear that :P
I would also recommend Jade plants. When their leaves are drooping and feel weak, you can water them. I’ve had one since the beginning of my plant obsession (almost a year ago), I’ve repotted it twice and it’s doing great
OH good to know! Jade plants are so pretty!
I’ve tried jade plants plenty of times and I always kill them! I’ve finally learned not to overwater succulents but it’s a hard lesson to learn coming from growing African violets for so long.
The ones that I DIDN’T kill with ‘love’, They all got mealybugs. And I had to throw them away because I had an extensive African violet collection and I could not allow mealy bugs to continue and spread to the violets.
Deb H huh. My aunt had a huge Jade that got mealy bugs and eventually she just had to trash the whole thing.
Would you recommend African violets? I’ve seen some in stores and they’re quite pretty but I’m worried about killing them and/or what the general care requirements are.
Elena Gibbons Yes, I highly recommend them! There are a few do’s and don’ts but they aren’t hard plants to care for.
Do water thoroughly but leave no standing water or root rot will happen quickly. Don’t water in till almost dry. You will know that you waited a little bit too long if it droops. If it drips water lightly, Then the after it perks back up give it some more water until it amounts to a regular watering.
Use half strength fertilizer. They get fertilizer burn if used full strength (generally). I use the method where I give the weak fertilizer in the water every watering.
Bright indirect light. Some violets don’t mind the early morning sun but light filtered through sheer curtains is great. I’ve always had mine under fluorescent shop lights but have switched to LED shop lights and they are doing great.
You can rinse African violet leaves/plants, but you cannot allow water to stay pooled in the center crown of the plant or it will get crown rot.
Remove lower leaves that look like they are fading. When the neck of the plant gets too long, time to replant it. I can only think of a few violets that need a pot bigger than 4”. AVs roots need to be touch the bottom or sides of the pot to bloom. Remove any blooms that are fading out. More blooms will not grow again in the same leaf axil. One bloom stalk per leaf axle.
Violets hate high temperatures but love normal household temps. Most people don’t put them out in the summer because of heat and sun.
Too much information and I hope I didn’t scare you off!
I was in California recently and I took a pup from century plant in my moms garden. I wasn't sure if it would survive the climate change but I put it in a 6 inch clay pot and it's doing great. I haven't found much info on keeping century plants indoors. Obviously it's going to get very big and eventually I will put it outside.
oh my gosh! My mom just brought me back a century plant from Oregon & it is so cool! Do you keep yours indoors??
Oh I read the last sentence of your comment & got my answer :P
Can you do a care video on the monstersa adansonii? Mine keeps getting yellow leaves 😩
Yes! Of course! I love that plant!
Hi Harli, I'd love a care vid on monstera adansonii too 🤗. I saw on another video from you where you had rooted oxalis in water. I instantly copied and have now moved to a lil pot. So SO cute. Thanks, hmmm I think that makes you a surrogate mum for a tiny baby oxalis in Scotland? Big smile, Tish 🌺
My favourite current plant is the Homelemena
Moss balls are sooooo easy!
and extremely cool!
great video!! I have most of these, I've only killed my parlor palm plant, I think I overwatered it. My most favourite and easiest plant for me is the trandescantia one (although it's an outdoor plant here). We call it "telegraph" and it's super hardy and so so beautiful.
IT seems like the problem most people have is overwatering! It's so hard to just leave them be sometimes :P Tradescantia are gorgeous!!
You're my favorite plant Guru
Omg that moss ball is so interesting I can't believe it's a live plant😂
Would you do a video on your winter/fall prep for your plants?? I live in the North-east, our house never stays really warm and I'm a new plant momma and I'm so so afraid of the winter for my babies.
Yes! I am filming one today (:
Harli G Yay!! I can't wait to watch! (:
I have a Marimo in a small jar at work, I change the water probably once a year and otherwise ignore him and he does great. I even have a few in my tropical aquarium and they do fine in there, but tend to unravel because of the snails I think.
That's a cool idea! I want a large aquarium so bad, but my husband is against getting one!
i finally broke down and ordered the bridal veil...and i love it...now i am so bumbed i only got 1...it only has about 8 strans...does this plant multiply or should i order another...thanks for your help😍
I love my shamrock (oxalis) plant. I got one many years ago and it didn't survive my cat messing with it. I tossed it thinking it was dead. However, this past year I got into plants and decided to get another oxalis. I got a purple and green one and I have found them to be super easy. Not only do they do well no matter where I put them, but when they don't do well, I just put them back and they will sprout back in no time. One wilted beyond repair shortly after I got it home from the store, then once it bounced back it had spider mites out it. Both times I cut it down to the soil it grew back with vigor. The other one got aphids and I did the same thing with it and got the same results. I can't believe all those years ago that I threw away what I thought was a dead plant. :hangs head in shame:
so good to know! I really want to try a purple oxalis! I will remember this comment if mine ever looks not great. Thank you for the rec & info!
I find peace lilies super easy to grow. They are such beautiful plants but no one seems to talk about them anymore. They're also so cheap and easy to get hold of
You should make a video on how to care for a ficus Audrey. I’ve looked everywhere on how to care for them and found little info on them. My boyfriend bought one and within 2 months it lost all its leaves. I still water it hoping it would come back to life lol but I think it’s gone gone. Sadly.
I agree with your choice of houseplants for beginners. Some of them are a little picky. Haha. Enjoyed the video and thanks for sharing :))
Thank you! Which ones do you feel are picky?! It's so odd how plants react differently in different homes (:
My monstera siltepecana is being picky. I water it when it’s dry and it gets plenty of indirect light. I took cuttings and it’s doing better in water. And I never could grow peace lilies. Love your videos. I agree it is odd how plants are different in everyone’s home. Haha
Kathy Gilbreath I don’t get along with Peace Lilies either. They grow well for me but I just have “trouble “ with them not fitting in to my watering schedule and style. I know I can do right by them but I just don’t like them enough to pamper them.
This morning we get to the glass of water pan down from Harvard University for the first time ever
Yay for harli plant vids !
thank you!!!!!
Had my ZZ for two months and have yet to water and it’s just continuing to do so well. My Chinese evergreens have new growth constantly and I rarely water then and they’re not in the brightest locations. I have three monstera Deliciosas and I water them MAYBE once every two weeks and they’re growing like crazy! I have three varieties of snake plants and I haven’t watered them in two months and they are doing phenomenally.
All great options! 😊
Anyone else murder their English Ivy? I've killed 2 now. My parlor palms went crispy even though I was being careful. My house might be too dry I think. I do live in the desert.
I live in the desert also! I have had to set up so many humidifiers at this point so nothing dries up anymore!
@@HarliG I might have to do that too.
I live in Phoenix! Just broke down and bought a humidifier. My plants are much happier
Yay another harli video!!
Thank you!!!
Great list, I was waiting for you to say nerve plant!,
Oh! That's a great one too! I can't believe I forgot it
What is the name of the plant at 1:28 - 1:29 ? You have a beautiful collection of healthy plants. Thank you for sharing..
Hi Harli,
I was wondering about hanging plants! (The ones that come in a plastic hanger) I’ve searched all over. I want to know if you have to repot these? Or just change to soil after a certain time? I’m learning and want to keep them happy and alive for as long as possible :-) thank you!
Hi! I normally repot hanging plants I buy right away! You can definitely keep it in the same pot, but just change the soil. It really is all up to you (: Either way should be fine.
My bridal Vail passed away a couple weeks ago :( I'm not sure what I did but I am willing to try one more round. Maybe....
oh no! I am so sa to hear that. I wonder why :(
I had no idea what I was doing lol I have been doing a little research and I think I didn't water it correctly or repot it correctly. So I'm sensing a round two soon !
Harlow I need your help! I’ve been propagating in water like a pro UNTIL I transplant it to soil... then it dies!! Beautiful roots then bam.. adios amigos. What do you do once the roots are established in water? Do you transplant into wet soil and keep it fairly wet? Do you use regular soil? I’d love some advice on the process once a cutting it rooted!! Thanks in advance!!
Kivonna Coccia After you plant a water propagated plant into soil, do not continue to keep the soil wet. You don’t wanna let it completely dry out but you do want to let it get to where there is air in the soil or else it’s going to suffocate. When it gets into soil it needs to grow the roots in a different way. Water roots and soil roots are not the same. So make sure that it gets some air by allowing it to get almost dry enough to droop then don’t overwater it to where it stays wet for too long again. It should adjust pretty quickly. But if they are failing after you put them into soil I am betting that you are overwatering them. I hope that helps! U used to do the same thing.
My bridal veil is not growing. What kind of lighting does it need? What about watering?
I have the first one monstera and it just dies on me. It has yellow and brown spots and som dry brown spots like whats wrong with it.
Can you talk about ferns please :)
yes definitely!
I killed a zz plant by putting it in the wrong soil, it was not as well draining and it developed root rot real fast.
Can you pot all different varieties of pothos in same pot together?
Lori Rader I do because I like the look of variety
I feel like Ivy’s grow really well for me with very little care, but everyone I talk to says they can’t keep them alive!! Do you have any?
I DID have some. :P I'm on the same boat as the others who say they kill them! What's your trick?! I'm so impressed haha
I kill them😕
Oxalis are easy :) in a bright window, water once a week, then watch them wake up at sunrise and go to sleep at sunset!
Adding it to my list! Thanks for the rec & care info (:
I've killed Pothos T_T Idk what I did wrong. The stem suddenly became so wet & weak... Did I overwater them? It's not easy for me tho
Have you found a string of Pearl's plant? I'm nervous to buy one online.
Yes! I bought mine in store though. Where are you thinking of ordering one from??
It would be great if you wrote down the name of the plants cause when you try to find it , it is hard to find it. This is because I am swedish and I do not know how to spell it in english sometimes.
My.monstera looks so dormant, it looks just stuck.. I even fertilized it after 1 month of owning it.. what could I be doing wrong?
Replant in a bigger pot, and he may need more light. Check his roots for rot or fungus as well. Clean his leaves
When you said you have no light in your bathroom...did you mean NO light or low light? My bathroom has no window. NO light at all. Its an actual cave at the end of a dark hallway. I'm scared to put any real plants in there but I need them desperately. Help
kelly dobberstine use a grow light instead of a normal one above the mirror maybe.
Am I the only one thinking peace lillies ain’t easy? They’re just constantly unhappy and never flowers again.
I’m tripped out.
I recently killed my spider plant by watering it… tell me how that happens? Like it had fungus gnats so I let the soil get super dry and then I watered it all the way through and made sure it wasn't sitting in any water. After day 1 and 2 the bottom leaves started drooping. By the 3rd night I think it was the plant was starting to brown up from the bottom and it had completely flopped over. I'm pretty sure the soil was cold and wet and wasn't drying out but like geez. It's because I said to myself that I've never had a significant plant die on me.
oh you TOTALLY jinxed yourself. The plant heard you say that, & was like "oh yeah? I'll show you"! That is definitely just a fluke :P
When you have a plant that has gotten that dry (you still did the right thing to kill the gnats) when you do go to water it, it’s best to give it a light watering instead of a full watering. Then wait a day or so and water it a bit more. What happens after a plant becomes that dry and gets a lot of water is that it takes into much water to quickly and can explode the plants cells and kill the plant. The water gets into the cells and can’t get back out.
I once killed bamboo 💀
Same!! I want to be a plant person so badly. Doing research to try again now.
so funny to watch this now, you can pronounce so many more words than syngonium now lol
I did🙋🏻♀️i killed a zz😎
I Love You
My Norfolk Island Pine died because it didn’t get enough light ☹️
Bridal veil is toxic to cats, or I would own one.
I cannot keep a peace lily alive.
Love plants I have too many
Impossible! :P They are so calming!
My hubby would disagree. I told him we need at least 1 per 100 square feet of our house and he said we have to get rid of 40 then...lol
hahahaha sounds like my husband :P Little stinkers for sure haha
You need to slow down. You did a good job. And the pictures could of been on the screened longer went to fast. 💜
I have definitely improved since I uploaddd this video 😬
I killed a bosi tree
Dwarf octopus plant can take some abuse
Very good to know! Thanks!
I've had killed ZZ 😛😜
