I’ve been watching you for a few weeks now, and just absolutely love your channel!! Excellent vibes for calming me down and enjoying beautiful plant eye candy! I’ve been gardening and loving plants for almost two decades, but the thing I love is that there’s always more to learn! You rock! 🖤💕🖤
🍃🌸 love the chime when the name of the plant appears on the screen. attracts ones attention while also being a bit soothing without being intrusive. thank you for the effort you put into sharing these informative videos with us. would love to see botanical garden videos, such as some naturally lush gardens or garden-type adventures in Cali you enjoy and/or recommend visiting (ie The Underground Garden or Japanese Garden in Fresno, Descanso Garden, etc). That is, if you feel led to do those types of travel garden/plant vids. 🌸🍃
Yes to exactly what you said about the Pilea Peperomides. Let it DRY OUT BONE DRY. Otherwise the leaves will snap off so easy because they still have moisture. Let it DRY DRY DRY, then bottom water. Thanks for mentioning it's a good beginner plant and to let it dry out. I killed my first one when I was getting into houseplants years ago from watering it way too often without letting it get DRY.
I split up my Monstera last Fall and gave half to my neighbour. Watching your video on the veranda. Got it all cleaned up and the furniture out of the shed. I am ready for Spring and so are my plants. Thanks for another great video!!!
Truthfully you can not have enough monstera adonsonii 🥰 I just chopped & propped mine plus added a trellis and made a new plant in the process My daughter picks out plants & she chose the exotica (wasn’t my choice) it has really been an easy plant & has impressed me!
I'll have to say as a beginner, the Chinese Money plant and the Pilea Aluminum plant are the two I struggle with the most. The easiest I've found are Golden Pothos, Algonema, and Philo Minima (which I think is also called the rhapidophora tetrasperma). They are all showing new growth and signs of thriving in their new home here. I just got a Monstera Adansonaii, but it's a bit finicky in comparison, and I discovered last night that it does something called guttation that no one ever discusses, but it's alarming when you don't know what is happening. It is not adapting as well as the other plants did but I've had them already month now and the Monstera Adansonaii is only 10 days settling in here, so I am still learning about it.
I'm a newbie myself, and the first indoor plant I got a few months ago was philodendron Birkin, and as of so far it's doin really well..... Keeps putting out new leaves and it's so exciting.so I feel like they are really easy care for begginers.Now, because if that i got my hubby to build me a plant shelf in frnt of my window and I'm up to 16 plants now. Since I did well with the philodendron, I went and bought 2 small 4 inch philo heartleafs which I'm already inlove with, a dragon scale which I was terrified I'd kill being so new but so far so good. I haven't dropped any leaves in the almost month iv had it so I'm hoping that's a good sign. It did have some yellow spots when I bought it, so my guess was over watered so I repotted in more airy soil with perlite and seems to be doin well. 🤞 Wish me luck ! Really enjoy these videos about plants that are good for begginers , find it very helpful
@@erinjoy5625 Best wishes on big beautiful plants! It's addicting, right? When I see new growth, I feel pride that I am doing something right, and then I want ALL the plants. I told myself that if I kept these alive until next spring, I could have more. I already have my wishlist made for spring 2023, lol.
@PinkT33 I’m not surprised the Pilea Aluminum was difficult, I’ve heard that a few times about it. I’m also not shocked to hear of your encounter with Pilea Peperomioides (Chinese money plantsseee. I still consider myself a beginner and my first - but definitely won’t be my last - attempt with it was a disastrous fail 😩
Omg I thought I was losing it when I kept seeing drops on the ends of the leaves after watering my multiple pothos! Thanks to this comment I know what it is! I have been so confused for months 😂 I was like “I swear the leaves should be dry by now?!?!”
Ive killed a few, but becuase I was watering WAY WAY WAY too much. You honestly have to let it dry out or the leaves will fall off 1 by 1 real easy just by poking it. Let it dry out and it will grow tall with pups! I believe most rubbery-feel leaves are holding a LOT of moisture and they want to dry out before getting wet again. Also prefer bottom watering (not wet leaves). Again, just my experiences!
Hi Patrick!! I started my indoor jungle less than a year ago and I’ve learned so much from experience but also from your videos!! Thank you so much for putting these videos out and sharing your passion for these amazing plants, you are truly inspiring and such a wonderful teacher! Have a great day :)
Fabulous beginner video. I am loving Hoyas & you just cleared up a lot of questions I was pondering, 😂. I have a drama plant. I have moved her around so much finally found her spot & she even bloomed for me. 🌸🌸🌸🌸
That's so awesome! It's all about trial and error and figuring out what works for you! And I'm so glad your on the hoya train! Im happy to help clear some things up for you! Thank you for showing me love in the comments! 🥰🙌🏽
Thats a nice place to shop, so many plants🤗🤗🤗. Most of the plants you mention I already have and its true that they are joyful to grow and propagate👍. Pothos "Yuck" 🤣🤣🤣. I love💚 my golden pothos🤗. Grew it from a 4" starter plant and now I have big leaves🥰
I can say my RT and butterfly syngonium are the most well behave houseplants, altho I have hundreds of others including cactus and succulents 😅💚 so much appreciation for these plants 🪴🫶🏽
I just purchased a cheese plant! They’re so pretty. A friend of mine had one and I was so jealous, I couldn’t stop thinking of it. Then the other day I was on lowers and there was a lonely cheese plant just sitting there waiting for me to purchase it! Can’t wait to see what it does!
Hi! Yeah, Handsome Dude, if you got more of those beginner plants to cast our way, then by all means shout it out to us. Remember, we love plants too. Thank you, I always watch your videos and I always am pleased. So do what you do and may blessings come your way. Jesus loves you. JOHN 3:16-18.
Just one note on the Monstera Adansonii, do check when you buy the plant for splotchy curly leaves. I bought mine randomly, but it turns out it has a virus. They won't necessarily die to the virus, but they won't grow very happily either.
Just stumbled upon your channel and I am hooked! Thank you for your tips I’m just starting out trying to grow my green thumb so I’m so glad I found you ♥️
Thank you for all of your help. I have wanted to get into plant owning, but never felt confident in my knowledge. My house is going to be greener than ever thanks to you!
The Scindapsus in my collection is the 'Platinum' and I adore her. Over the decades of collecting plands, I have learned that the String of...are not for me.I am a huge fan of hoyas! I have nine varieties and want more. I have a huge Peace Lily 'Domino" and she is in my top ten list of favorite plants (I would cry if I lost her). I bought her four years ago in a four inch pot for $14.99. The only Syngonium in my collection is my favorite one the 'Milk Confetti'. The only reason that I don't have more is my space constraints, sigh. I have 120 plants in my apartment right now. Staghorn ferns rock! I am not a fan of Monstera anything, but that's just me. If you have the space for it, definitely go for a Monstera deliciosa.
Cool list Patrick! "Pothos, yuck" .. 😂😂 and I definitely sensed your Hoya-head in there 😂 SoH and Pilea Peps were finicky for me...but 110% agree on the Syngoniums: waaay underrated superstar and is now a fave mine. I'm not a fan of recommending snake plants as a first plant either. It was boring and didn't offer enough of the fun parts of this hobby as a beginner. I quickly moved on to faster growers, viners and beautiful flower-ers 😍
Love my Scindapsus Exotica🌱😍and my Hoyas, so easy💚🌱I'm really getting into carnivorous plants lately, have 4 now,Drosera /Sundew, Nepenthes /monkey cup,Sarracenia/ pitcher, and of course a Dionaea muscipula/Venus flytrap. I agree with you on Syngoniums, beautiful, easy, grow fast!!! Love my Staghorn, and Rabbits foot ferns, so easy🤗💚🌱I planted my Staghorn in a Vanda basket, so far it's diggin it🤞💚🤗 Thanks for the great planty adventure!!! Beautiful plants 💚🌱💚🌱😍
@@Patadendron Yeah, they're on my patio, so they get plenty of insects, I also give them hydrated bloodworms from Pet shop. The Venus flytrap can have a meal worm once in awhile, smaller ones.
Thank you so much for this list! I want to start a houseplant collection but didn't know where to start; this is really helpful. You are obviously knowledgeable and I appreciate you sharing what you know!
So far the first three plants are definitely GREAT to have and ill be looking out for the first two, since i already have the Pilea Peperomioides... im really so excited to go plant shopping soon!
I bought a monstera deliciosa when I first moved into my apartment and I’ve lived there for a little over a year. She has grown very slow and only have 3 leaves now he have 5 and is growing a new one this spring. Never have an issue with here I love her and talk to her especially when she’s growing a new leaf. I finally changed the soil and added some worm casting to the new soil and hopefully she thrives this year! I need to invest in a journal just to have info needed on hand and don’t have to stress out keeping it all in my adhd brain. Lol
The greatest thing about monsteras is how beautiful the leafs grow out curled and than expand in a bright green and then turn dark and huge. Mine tries to escape by growing outwards, i had to build a bridge between pots because the pot kept falling over. A nice problem to have. Good look with yours!
I love love love your channel and all of your wonderful information for us newbies. But PLEASE…can you leave the names up longer so we have time to copy them down? It’s up for literally a split second. Also, when you are providing information can you mention whether or not the plant is poisonous to cats/dogs? Great videos!
Take a screenshot! but yeah he should write a list in the description or a comment. You can just google plants safe for cats and dogs. Dogs are easy, just have them up high.
Such a great episode Patrick😌🙌💖Now you have me tempted to by a scinapsus😂😅👏And the monstera adansonii is actually beautiful in a hanging basket🤔😅Help me resist buying more plants🙏Thanks for the great video Patrick😌🙌💖
I absolutely love most of your choices but I am definitely not a beginner and I have lost two staghorn ferns. I can't figure out how to keep them alive but I do really love them.
I’ve just found your channel. I’m super new to the plant game, so I’m really grateful for your videos. I’ve just subscribed and can’t wait for you to teach me more 🥰
It's so helpful that the greenhouse there actually gives a little care paper on display near them! My closest greenhouse does not have those and some plants don't come with care cards 😕
Hi Patrick thanks again for taking the time to share with us the inspiring videos. I find that the first 3 plants is such a struggle for me I dont know what iam doing wrong
Thanks Patrick!!! I had fun shopping with you today!!! Question?? If you don't mind?? What is your take on ordering plants online? Like from Amazon or elsewhere? I Appreciate all your help...have a magical day!!! 🍃🤗🍃
Sometimes it's the only option when you want a specific plant, other than to hold out. I'm not 100% against it but I do try to purchase plants in person as much as possible vs. ordering online! You have a magical day too Donna! ✨️ 💚
thank you for the content!! i’m really interested in house plants and am jealous of my friends who have plenty but i never know where to start! i’m so glad i found your channel
I adore my Pachira Aquatica. I bought a bigger plant about 5 months ago and it's like the only plant I didn't manage to kill (aside from my pothos plants). As long as I regularly water it, it just grows like crazy. I actually managed to kill my string of hearts baby plants but I'll try again because they were so lovely. I also plan to try Pilea Peperomioides, heard some great things about this plant. 😍
I've had a ton of plants since I was introduced to a spider plant during a school project where we got to grow our own plants. That was like 20 years ago but I always just bought plants because I like it green. it's cool to watch someone who knows things about the plants (such as their names, I know only what like 20% of my plants even are) I do still have a bit of that first spider plant btw, it's like the fourth generation but still :D I usually buy plants because they are ... - tall and cheap (dracaenas are a very common entry in this category, you can get like 1.20m tall ones for 10€ here) - saintpaulias - mini saintpaulias - safe for cats at this point I know what I definitely can't keep alive so I don't buy those anymore though. no point getting maidenhair ferns if they'll just dye in a couple of months, that's not fair to anyone. generally, if it has flowers it will die fast I feel. all those pure green ones are so much easier to keep alive, except ferns but those aren't safe for cats anyway.
Actually, snakeplants turned out great to me as a complete beginner! Since they have the reputation of something that is easy to mantain and very forgiving if you forgot to water it, aaand since my windowsill is on the south side (once I managed to literally burn a plant on it), I started with a couple of hahniis and later added a moonshine type to the collection. All of them are growing extremely fast and looking very healthy and happy, one of the hahniis even grew a pair of children in the pot! I guess it is a nice plant to begin with, if you are a beginner with a south window 😄
My mum loved staghorns but could never get them from local nurseries, they were mounted only for decoration. She got a few pieces from a friend and tied them to trees with stocking. The shaded ones didn't survive but somehow the one tied to our palm in full sunlight survived and flourished. She's so proud 💖
Please do a video on the peace lily domino care. Mine was struggling to the point of almost throwing it out. But it continued putting out new leaves for me....I couldn't go through with it! It's definitely a shell of itself. The edges keep browning
I'm really nervous about starting my plant journey. I'm gonna start with my room, there's not much direct sunlight but the place I live at is really hot and humid and it's always summer except for a couple rainy seasons. I'm gonna try asking advice from the people selling these plants too.
You should totally do a 'pet safe' video! I'm tired of seeing the same plants being recommended. Some of the ones you picked for this video are pet safe 😉
Hi Patrick. Thanks for that wonderful plant tour. I wish I could find plants that big at my local big box store. You bought the same plant I would have snagged if I had the chance. 😂
Im new to houseplants and it started with a coworker giving me a pup/node(?dont know if either are correct terms?) of a snake plant ant I have been surprised by the growth in 6 months. I then picked up an easter lily that I repotted, which I believe was a mistake as it was root bound and after repotting, the buds that were set to bloom in a week or so shriveled and fell off. Anyways, I am ready for another plant to add to a very small but growing collection, and your videos have been helpful
The Monstera is one I do not have ... darn it now I have to have one... And I don't have a Skindapsis (spelling as it sounds) .... geez o-malley I am typing and Ib realize now 3 out of 3 I don't have ... the Chinese Money plant. QUESTION do you work at a nursery ... and I can see why your plants flourisn... great voice soothing.
My pilea peperomoides (Chinese money plant, UFO plant, Pancake plant) 🤣 nearly died. I bought at Lowe’s and it looked healthy. I brought it home and didn’t water it as I discovered, Lowes prob just watered it. So I waited for so long for the soil to dry but it never did and I noticed the plant was declining in health. So I decided to check the roots, and it had root rot! So I cut the heads off of my pelia plant. Poor plant has been over watered from care at Lowes. Currently propagating the plant and only one head is rooting but the other two aren’t. I am confident I can get one to survive. I salvaged 17$ lol. So pelia peperomoides are very tough plants and you can save them from death. lol i lost the lowes receipt so I couldn’t exchange or return. 🙃
Many thanks for another wonderful video! I love every one of these plants. I’ve had seven of the ten for roughly two plus years and they’ve been very rewarding. Such a joy to watch them grow and thrive. I always enjoy seeing you and the beautiful plants. It’s a “win, win” for me! 👌🥰🪴
Tell me WHY I always kill my adonsonii 😭 I’ve had so many and Everytime, they die on me. They are so incredibly gorgeous that I will never give up on growing them but they always break my heart lol 🤪 I have one that’s doing well this far so let’s hope I can keep her happy 🤞🏼🤞🏼
I have a monstera adansonii, I'm not sure how I feel about it tbh. It yellowed so much when I first got it, then my dog landed on it and I had to cut all of the broken stems. 😭😭 It seems to be doing better now, it's just a little bald.
What is the pinkish plant next to the Raphidophora tetrasperma? It’s so pretty time stamp is at 17:45! Thank you for all the recommendations! I’m new to plants but absolutely crazy about them now as you are teaching me so much!
Watching this made me regret for not buying the Spathiphyllum "Domino" while I was at the plant shop earlier! Like, it brushed on my leg (cause it was at the floor)! It's like begging me to buy it! 😭😅
Ouch. I paid 20$ for a 8 inch adansonii. Sure odd how some areas have the same plants be so expensive for such a tiny plant, and you go a state over, and that same species you paid 50$ for a tiny, not great specimen is a whole 5-10$.
So is my Chinese money plant just a freak of nature? The thing loves water and loves to sit in it or at least damp soil I've had to replant him once already and he's getting massive for the pot I have him in now lol!
I’ve been watching you for a few weeks now, and just absolutely love your channel!! Excellent vibes for calming me down and enjoying beautiful plant eye candy! I’ve been gardening and loving plants for almost two decades, but the thing I love is that there’s always more to learn! You rock! 🖤💕🖤

Isn't Patrick the best?!
He’s adorable. I’d like to take him home with me
Luv U. Love all your videos. I'm 75. Been growing stuff a long time, but I still live the beginner vids🌈❤️☺️
Thank you for watching my videos! 🥰❤️
U😮😮u😅
Lol pothos!!! How very dare you! Knew you were kidding, no worries. I'm still in love with mine. Lol, made me laugh though!! 😂😂😂
When kids fall but they don't cry - how perfect. That describes a slightly wilted peace Lily perfectly.

The plants you showed are all so great! And the fact that I (as a beginner) already own most of them made me feel good about myself :)
Great video. I wrote down most of them in a journal.

Thank you for taking time to post these - I love it when you mention the cost of the plants, it's really fun to compare to my local plant dealers
Yes! ALL the HOYA! Lol 😂 I couldn’t agree more. Thanks for another fun video.

It’s up for literally a split second. Also, when you are providing information can you mention whether or not the plant is poisonous to cats/dogs? Great videos!
Take a screenshot! but yeah he should write a list in the description or a comment. You can just google plants safe for cats and dogs.
Dogs are easy, just have them up high.
You make me want to go to my local plant center and “browse” for some new plant babies 😫
I am loving your videos,
Hello!!! I love you man!
Hi!!! 💚💚💚
You’re so good 🤙🏼✨ I love it!!!
Such a great episode Patrick😌🙌💖Now you have me tempted to by a scinapsus😂😅👏And the monstera adansonii is actually beautiful in a hanging basket🤔😅Help me resist buying more plants🙏Thanks for the great video Patrick😌🙌💖
You’ll love a scindapsus! So easy so pretty 😍 thanks for watching, Newman!
I absolutely love most of your choices but I am definitely not a beginner and I have lost two staghorn ferns. I can't figure out how to keep them alive but I do really love them.
I’ve just found your channel. I’m super new to the plant game, so I’m really grateful for your videos. I’ve just subscribed and can’t wait for you to teach me more 🥰
It's so helpful that the greenhouse there actually gives a little care paper on display near them! My closest greenhouse does not have those and some plants don't come with care cards 😕
Hi Patrick thanks again for taking the time to share with us the inspiring videos. I find that the first 3 plants is such a struggle for me I dont know what iam doing wrong
Thanks Patrick!!! I had fun shopping with you today!!!
Question?? If you don't mind??
What is your take on ordering plants online? Like from Amazon or elsewhere?
I Appreciate all your help...have a magical day!!!
🍃🤗🍃
Sometimes it's the only option when you want a specific plant, other than to hold out. I'm not 100% against it but I do try to purchase plants in person as much as possible vs. ordering online! You have a magical day too Donna! ✨️ 💚
@@Patadendron thank you so much..
.XOXOXOXO
🍃🤗🍃
I would love a stag horn. 😻
thank you for the content!! i’m really interested in house plants and am jealous of my friends who have plenty but i never know where to start! i’m so glad i found your channel
I love your videos. Your knowledge is very appreciated, friend. Tks
I always enjoy your videos and they are so informative oh, I just wish I was closer to all those shops. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for watching!
I adore my Pachira Aquatica. I bought a bigger plant about 5 months ago and it's like the only plant I didn't manage to kill (aside from my pothos plants). As long as I regularly water it, it just grows like crazy. I actually managed to kill my string of hearts baby plants but I'll try again because they were so lovely. I also plan to try Pilea Peperomioides, heard some great things about this plant. 😍
I've had a ton of plants since I was introduced to a spider plant during a school project where we got to grow our own plants. That was like 20 years ago but I always just bought plants because I like it green. it's cool to watch someone who knows things about the plants (such as their names, I know only what like 20% of my plants even are) I do still have a bit of that first spider plant btw, it's like the fourth generation but still :D
I usually buy plants because they are ...
- tall and cheap (dracaenas are a very common entry in this category, you can get like 1.20m tall ones for 10€ here)
- saintpaulias
- mini saintpaulias
- safe for cats
at this point I know what I definitely can't keep alive so I don't buy those anymore though. no point getting maidenhair ferns if they'll just dye in a couple of months, that's not fair to anyone.
generally, if it has flowers it will die fast I feel. all those pure green ones are so much easier to keep alive, except ferns but those aren't safe for cats anyway.
Actually, snakeplants turned out great to me as a complete beginner! Since they have the reputation of something that is easy to mantain and very forgiving if you forgot to water it, aaand since my windowsill is on the south side (once I managed to literally burn a plant on it), I started with a couple of hahniis and later added a moonshine type to the collection. All of them are growing extremely fast and looking very healthy and happy, one of the hahniis even grew a pair of children in the pot! I guess it is a nice plant to begin with, if you are a beginner with a south window 😄
Snake plants are great! They are so easy yet really cool looking as well
Snake plants are great! They are so easy yet really cool looking as well
We would totally be friends if we lived in the same state! I love plants too!
Living vicariously through you because I can't seem to keep a single plant alive. Even my monstera browned and started dying. :(
Aww you’ll have to give it another shot when you’re ready! 💚
New here and I LOVE this channel 🤩
Thank you! Welcome to my channel! 🥰🙌🏽
My mum loved staghorns but could never get them from local nurseries, they were mounted only for decoration. She got a few pieces from a friend and tied them to trees with stocking.
The shaded ones didn't survive but somehow the one tied to our palm in full sunlight survived and flourished. She's so proud 💖
Please do a video on the peace lily domino care. Mine was struggling to the point of almost throwing it out. But it continued putting out new leaves for me....I couldn't go through with it! It's definitely a shell of itself. The edges keep browning
Noted! Thanks for the video request! I do hope your domino turns around! Maybe it’ll get the memo this spring 🤞🏽
I'm really nervous about starting my plant journey. I'm gonna start with my room, there's not much direct sunlight but the place I live at is really hot and humid and it's always summer except for a couple rainy seasons. I'm gonna try asking advice from the people selling these plants too.
You should totally do a 'pet safe' video! I'm tired of seeing the same plants being recommended. Some of the ones you picked for this video are pet safe 😉
I like when you share price on plants
Your adventures are so much fun! It’s gorgeous there! Are you in FL? Looks like heaven 😄🫶🏼
I'm in California! Love going to Florida though! 😜🙌🏽
Hi Patrick. Thanks for that wonderful plant tour. I wish I could find plants that big at my local big box store. You bought the same plant I would have snagged if I had the chance. 😂
Im new to houseplants and it started with a coworker giving me a pup/node(?dont know if either are correct terms?) of a snake plant ant I have been surprised by the growth in 6 months. I then picked up an easter lily that I repotted, which I believe was a mistake as it was root bound and after repotting, the buds that were set to bloom in a week or so shriveled and fell off. Anyways, I am ready for another plant to add to a very small but growing collection, and your videos have been helpful
I laughed right at 20 sec because I got all three of those plants for my boyfriend 😂
It’s all in jest! I love those 3! 😂🙌🏽
The Monstera is one I do not have ... darn it now I have to have one... And I don't have a Skindapsis (spelling as it sounds) .... geez o-malley I am typing and Ib realize now 3 out of 3 I don't have ... the Chinese Money plant. QUESTION do you work at a nursery ... and I can see why your plants flourisn... great voice soothing.
Thank you ☺️💚
Great list thank you.new sub
My pilea peperomoides (Chinese money plant, UFO plant, Pancake plant) 🤣 nearly died. I bought at Lowe’s and it looked healthy. I brought it home and didn’t water it as I discovered, Lowes prob just watered it. So I waited for so long for the soil to dry but it never did and I noticed the plant was declining in health. So I decided to check the roots, and it had root rot! So I cut the heads off of my pelia plant. Poor plant has been over watered from care at Lowes. Currently propagating the plant and only one head is rooting but the other two aren’t. I am confident I can get one to survive. I salvaged 17$ lol. So pelia peperomoides are very tough plants and you can save them from death. lol
i lost the lowes receipt so I couldn’t exchange or return. 🙃
Doh! Good job bringing it back!!!
😀
Many thanks for another wonderful video! I love every one of these plants. I’ve had seven of the ten for roughly two plus years and they’ve been very rewarding. Such a joy to watch them grow and thrive. I always enjoy seeing you and the beautiful plants. It’s a “win, win” for me! 👌🥰🪴
Tell me WHY I always kill my adonsonii 😭 I’ve had so many and Everytime, they die on me. They are so incredibly gorgeous that I will never give up on growing them but they always break my heart lol 🤪 I have one that’s doing well this far so let’s hope I can keep her happy 🤞🏼🤞🏼
We all have that plant! Yours is the adansonii, and aglaonema hate me 😭
Can I go with you next time when I visit CA?
I have a monstera adansonii, I'm not sure how I feel about it tbh. It yellowed so much when I first got it, then my dog landed on it and I had to cut all of the broken stems. 😭😭 It seems to be doing better now, it's just a little bald.
What is the pinkish plant next to the Raphidophora tetrasperma? It’s so pretty time stamp is at 17:45! Thank you for all the recommendations! I’m new to plants but absolutely crazy about them now as you are teaching me so much!
That is an Aglaonema Red Siam! Those are cool! And easy! 💚
Aglaonemas come in many beautiful versions and yes they are easy. I have several: red emerald, Wishes, red siam. Also called Chinese Evergreen
what i want to know firstly is how you managed to use your two pointer fingers to mark an X at the snake plants ^,^
I was thinking the same, LOL
Magic! LOL
Did you get the domino? It was gorgeous
I didn’t but it was so beautiful!
Watching this made me regret for not buying the Spathiphyllum "Domino" while I was at the plant shop earlier! Like, it brushed on my leg (cause it was at the floor)! It's like begging me to buy it! 😭😅
Ouch. I paid 20$ for a 8 inch adansonii. Sure odd how some areas have the same plants be so expensive for such a tiny plant, and you go a state over, and that same species you paid 50$ for a tiny, not great specimen is a whole 5-10$.
Cam you add a note when a plant isn't pet safe? I thought Peace Lilies were deadly to cats and dogs. Thanks
I actually made a pet safe video covering that! Hope you check it out 💚
I killed my strings of heart every. damn. time……
All your first 3 NOs are the ones that I love...oh Nooo😭😭😭😭😭
So is my Chinese money plant just a freak of nature? The thing loves water and loves to sit in it or at least damp soil I've had to replant him once already and he's getting massive for the pot I have him in now lol!
That’s awesome! Just keep doing what you’re doing!
It took mine a year to show growth
