What are your favorite Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control plants?
I’m also fast, cheap and out of control!
I mean, to state the obvious……..
In defense of the Golden Pothos, she's reliable, beautiful, and her variegation is gorgeous, under the right lighting conditions. 💚
100% true. But, I don’t feel like the world’s most popular plant needed avocation 🤣🤣🤣
Your dog knows what you are saying! Love it!
She's a doll 🥰
I wanna pet that dog!!!!!!!!!! ❤
Perfect timing--she's just had a bath 😁
I favorite to list my fast favorite.... syngoniums! ❤they are weeds and so easy!
Ah, yes! I have the Three Kings, and Frosted Heart. Both broke the bank a little bit for the under $50 target. But they are favorites for sure 😊
It's my channel, I can do what I want 😂😂😂❤ Your sense of humor always makes me chuckle 😅 love this non hoya (mostly 😉) video so much!
Yessss. I'm such the Big Boss on my channel 🤣😂🤣
Fantastic beginner plant recommendations! Your plants are incredibly beautiful and your dog is a sweetheart 🐕💚
Thanks so much! On both counts. I do love that big fur ball 😍
Wow. This entire time I thought I had a Monsterra but it’s clearly the one you have, thanks! It was a gift and I almost killed it, but she’s making a comeback
Love your presentations!! Please include your awesome best friend, too.😊
That’s my right hand, Lexi 🥰
Great options. I personally also like less common versions of super common plants. Like, neon pothos instead of golden pothos (don't get me wrong I have that too lol). Raven zz vs regular green zz (I only have the raven).
In the house, we do not speak of the Raven. R.I.P. 😁 I would love to know how you are keeping yours alive (there's a low bar for you...)
Loving your videos. Could you please share how you propagate Hoyas. 😊
I’m coming out with a very detailed Hoya guide soon. Definitely will cover props, and how I choose substrate with various cutting. Cheers from Iowa 😊
You are very nice and great humor❤ thanks
Thanks so much ☺
I have a love/hate relationship with Golden Pothos. I would love to keep one, but they hate being in my care, and i don't know why. I have a beautiful Manjula and Cebu Blue Pothos, but Goldens always develop stem rot. I have lost more Goldens than i would like to admit.
Same, on each point 🤣
Hi there😌🙌Your plants are so beautiful and luscious😱👏💞I'm impressed. I need to give my philodendron brazil and pothos a good cut back and that should make it branch out more and get bushy. I enjoyed watching😄🤲🌟
Ah, thank you! That's all I've ever done, cutting them back. Cheers from Iowa 😀
It is interesting that you say Pybicalyx blooms faster than a Carnosa. I experience the opposite. My Carnosa is a giant plant and well experienced in blooming. If I recall correctly it took me 2 years to bloom (Was over a decade ago). My Pybicalyx is 4 or 5 years now and simply won't bloom 🤷♀️ I tried everything, varied light exposure etc. Nothing. Grows like a weed and is too large and heavy for my taste, but no blooms so far. I did spot a few peduncles, but I won't hold my breath. Last year there were peduncles, too and she killed them all off one by one. My Carnosa doesn't do that. Moreover, the Compacta recently opened its first bloom (after 3 years?) and it's the most precious, most beautiful flower ever. Hoya Australis took me around 5 years to finally flower 🤷♀️
Favourite fast cheap and out of control: Carnosa :)
Wow! I think that's a pretty unusual sequence of events, but truly it just goes to show. There is no one "This is how it is" in the world of Hoya. My australis has given me plenty of peduncles, but like your pubicalyx, no flowers to date. I think it's around 2 yrs old. Hope I don't have to wait another 3 😁
Philodendron Burle Maxii & Oxalis Triangularis, they won't die & u get a new leaf like every other day 😁
Perfect! Beginner's want new growth every hour (which is probably why most of us watered our collections to death 😬) Thanks for adding great recommendations!
Hey Dave I have a quick question…since jewel orchids are also epiphites would the Hoya substrate work for both?
I may be mistaken here, but aren't all, or most, jewell orchids terrestrial growers? In any case, you bet. For my dendrobian, for instance, I cut out the coco coir and add a little moss. For a jewell, more coco than usual. Thanks for the good question!
I swore I would never get a Sansevieria, so now I have three. Of course. A Zeylanica, a Moonshine, and a little Hahnii. I'm surprised myself by how much I appreciate the architectural value of the two big ones in my home. I tend to be a more-is-more kinda person with color (though I don't really care for golden variegation), so my go-to gift plants are aglaonemas, particularly the wider leaf varieties. Though I am apparently incapable of walking by a pink ag without buying it (except the Siams, which I don't like), I usually buy ags with white variegation, like Spring Snow, for friends. (I don't push my pink agenda on others. haha.) They are pretty and easy and a little bit different than the plants that most non-planty people would be used to seeing. But I've gifted some hoyas, too, of course.
I love all of this. And that is a genus that I’ve never had, though I think they’re very pretty. And apparently great for gifting 😀
@@soberplantguy haha. They are. They put up with all kinds of nonsense and still look pretty. And . . . knock wood . . . aren't pest magnets. ☺
I've watched this video twice now and finally realized how many of my questions you are answering before I
... realize it
Great video & recommendations 👍👍
I am all about hoyas.
Yesssssss
You are talented! That Ginny is such a fickle plant, I have been trying to prop one or over a year. I put it in Fluval and tree fern fiber and it is finally growing leaves. Oh the tolerance we put up with when we love our plants.
Love her! Simple, elegant 😊
Fantastic list and I agree with all these choices! I’ve never owned the Goldfish plant but I love how they look. My Mona Lisa Lipstick plant is my substitute or the closest looking plant to the lovely Goldfish plant. Enjoyed your story regarding paying $2.00 for the Goldfish plant and I adore your best buddy making an appearance in this video. He/she’s awesome!! Take care! 👌🪴🥰
Ah, thanks! Yes, when I was editing, I thought, "Nothing grows quite like it ... except the lipstick plant" 🤣😂🤣
Are they in the same family?
Such great options for beginners!
And of course yours would be looking so amazingly lush and full, curtains 😂
Personally I wouldnt recommend non trailing Hoyas…
Here comes the story.
During the Covid lockdowns here I propagated my Syngonium Pink Spot vines into lots of plantlets. Then those plantlets were dropped off at friends, neigbours and relatives doors as gifts. Now, years later, I still get questions about what to do with the vines 😅
Hoyas make way more vines and if they are not trellised and therefore dont make new leaves a beginning plant parent might get stressed about them.
The people around me need more ‘coaching’ for plants that need more than water and a yearly repot 😉
However…. I have a plan to spread the Hoyas around as well 😏
Get them into the trailing ones… and then one day show up with an already trellised one… have them get used to dealing with that… and then come the cuttings 😊
Plants need to be shared, spread the joy! 🌸🌱
Trailing Hoya = less work for me. This is absolutely BRILLIANT 🤣😂🤣 It's such a great point that you'll be seeing that I'm about to steal it for upcoming videos 😁
@@soberplantguy More upcoming videos…. Sounds great!
Another great video and more impressive plants. Thank you.
Thanks for the nice comment (again)! It really does mean a lot 😀
Can you make a plant tour?
When do we get to see you repot the Nematanhus? 🤭. I have several older plants stuck in similarly narrow necked containers. Eagerly awaiting that one.
You mean when do you get to see me break that pot? 🤣 I have sooo many other things that really *need* to get done first, that.... well, we'll see what happens 🙃
@@soberplantguy so that's the solution? Break the pot... 😥. Here I thought you had some magic formula that loosened up the soil and roots.
@@paxleidig5327 Ok, ok. I'll try that first. Then break the pot.....?
Where do you sell your plants?
I can be reached at soberplantguy@gmail.com. Though I must say, I'm running pretty thin this late in the year. Lots in the cooker, though
Great selection of easy plants 🪴
Thanks so much!
Totally agree with you 👍
🙃
I like that bamboo hoop - did it not rot in the pot??
I havne't had any rot out ... yet. I imagine over an extended period of time, it will. I once used a little pine stake that came with a plant. Let me tell you: those rot out in absolutely no time at all. Bamboo is incredibly weather and pot-proof. Cheers ☺
That last one looks like a Hoya Cinganensis (sp)
I wish! Those are are such cool Hoya 😀
@@soberplantguy It’s on my wishlist 😊 Yours is very similar.
Awww 🐾🐾🐾
Glad you appreciated the preamble 😊
Loved this video! I learned some things. Your specimens are so gorgeous!! Thank you! I have a new wish list😂
Hey, thanks much! I’m planning a second edition for a $99 budget. Should be fun 😀
That philodendron is as biring as a the golden pothos
Wowwwwee! That Philo. Brasil! I have failed so many times with that. Absolutely gorgeous❣️I had a beautiful ZZ but overwatered because I didn't know the stems were attached to a rhizome. The Raphidofora has a lovely structural growth that climbs beautifully up a wall or trellis, killed it, but I will try growing again. I purchased a 2 leaf whalefin snake plant and had no idea it would grow 7 leaves, 3 to 5 feet tall! No these plants are not boring they all bring something to enhance plant love! Love those plants! Dee, NY
Dee! I was getting worried that I wouldn’t hear from you 😀 Those Whale fin a really something-but I’ve never seen one that large! Thanks for sharing your successes (and failure 🤣)
@@soberplantguy Oh you'll hear from this plant lover! Thank you for the variety!
Watching a sansevieria grow is like watching paint dry.
🤣😂🤣
Why does my pothos have brown and yellow spots. help
My first first guess would be root rot, as this is a pretty common indicator. Is the substrate staying really moist after you water it (like, much longer than it used to)? Either way, I’d be checking the roots if the problem persists/gets worse. Cheers
The millennial plant dad did a great video on Sansaveria, I will never see them the same..
Very cool ! I’ll check that out. (And to be crystal, I *am* a fan 🙃). Cheers from Iowa
Great suggestion’s. Love all the “curtain plants”, I have all the ones like yours. They give results a lot quicker than the usual suggested ones,that I also grow but are just hanging around in the background. 💚💚🪴🌿 Natalie
Great to hear from you! Glad you enjoyed it. "Curtain plants" ... "hanging around in the background"--good one 🤣😂🤣
