Nick: Neon pothos is a very fast grower. Me, while looking mine: You grow with the pace of a tortoise. With a broken leg. You should be ashamed of yourself...
I think for the neon pothos the rule of “1st year it sleeps, 2nd year it creeps and 3rd year it leaps” very much still applies... have had these small plants that have just had a couple leaves grown from cuttings but nowhere near “vining”...
Been a looooooong ass week and this is exactly what I need rn. My world is not turning for the next 25 minutes- get my coffee & ignore everyone except for Nick & his plants.
As a child of the 50's, I can remember when the only plants that everyone's family seemed to have were those old standbys, the Heart-Leafed Philodendron and a Snake Plant. They were available at your local Acme Supermarket (NJ) for 29 cents and 39 cents respectively! My Golden Pothos, which many find boring, seems like a "superstar Philodendron" that has a better press agent. 😁
As a child of the 60s lol I know what you mean. Only I had a spider plant and a Persian shield too. Here in Ireland we used to get them at the local fruit and vedge shop
My mom had these, plus spider plants. I have a heart leaf philo which came from cuttings from her plant, which is from the heart leaf philo she got as a gift plant in the hospital when I was born, in the 60s.
I’ve killed several golden pothos 🤣 I can keep expensive, rarer plants alive and thriving but not this one! Maybe it’s time to try again. Good thing they are affordable!
My rhaphidophora tetrasperma is literally the fastest growing plant have indoors. It grows new leaves DAILY! It's definitely like a freaking weed and I love it!
To mention some plant that's not trailing nor climbing, my Alocasia Cucullata grows insanely fast. It doesn't get much light but it's standing right next to the humidifier, and it grows new leaf every two weeks. It's getting huge so fast it scares me.
I personally find my philodendron brasil to be super fast growing. I got it last summer as a baby and it's literally taking over my house. All of philodendron plants take over lol. Basic heart leaf and Monstera..all big plants! And they grew super fast!
same i love my philodendron brasil/ cordatum they’re so fast growing and for some reason i always have a problem w pothos being leggy and don’t like them near as much as philo cordatums
"give it a grow" love it. I'm genuinely not sure if you did that on purpose or not haha Edit: I am SHOCKED at the lack of string of hearts in this video 😂 where is your love for him? You used to talk about it every third video!
The reason i am really investing in my education is that i want to get a good job to be able to level up from my small appartment so i can have more plants, and in the long term i hope i am able to one day maybe even own a garden (i live in a small but expensive country, space is just very expensive). So basically, plants are my reason to do anything in life:)
Turtle vines! They are beautiful and bushy with dark green and purple leaves, and grow like crazy. Ridiculously easy to propagate too! Just stick a cutting in some dirt and it will take off.
I got the string of needles a couple of months ago based on this video. I loved the look of it when I saw you talking about it and I absolutely LOVE it. It's growth so much! It's incredible.
I started my Rhaphidophora tetrasperma in a 4 inch pot. I split it into cuttings right away and 6 months later one of my cuttings decided to take off and is 7 feet tall. Crazy vigorous grower.
My fastest growers are my scindapsus pictus argyraeus and my syngonium. I have had the syngonium for a year and have already made 5 full plants from cuttings
omg I’ve been trying to ID any peperomia ‘ruby cascade’ for MONTHS now, bless you 😭 fastest grower in my collection is BY FAR tradescantia zebrina, it’s truly in a league of its own. I’ve only had my guy for 3 months and it went from a couple leaves in a little 1 inch pot to maybe 6 vines spilling over the edges of a 4 inch pot. my pothos (epipremnum, at least) are the closest runners-up, though I found that they take a little more time acclimating before really taking off. my scindapsus, on the other hand, is very much still recovering from a nasty bout of root rot, but I’m hoping it picks up growth again soon!! edit: also honorable mention to my philo micans for regularly exploding with new growth and being super easy to propagate
I definitely struggle being patient. My pothos cuttings from a coworker were struggling so I cut them all up to propagate and make a new lush plant friend.
Just an FYI for anyone who'd like to get a scindapsus pictus but might not know this: its leaves will curl up if overwatered as well! So in case you get one from a friend or a store and they haven't put it in well enough draining soil, it can be a good idea to check the soil as well before watering 🙈 Definitely not speaking from experience...
Great video. For some reason everyone seems to ignore spider plants. Too common, I guess. But they grow really fast and can grow well even five feet from a north window!
I have all three different spider plants , the Bonnie,variegated and green spider plant . Loki the variegated one I got from my older sister cause it took over the window it’s so big . Molly the Bonnie spider plant I use to have the mom and gave it to a family member for a bday present .Green monster one I got off of my moms plant as a baby .
One of the people at my work have a pothos by their desk. When I started a few months ago it was a pretty decent size plant. Now it's trailing to the floor and still growing lol it's such a nice plant
I really appreciate the fact that you explained/showed how to tell that the plant needs water even though that wasn't your topic! I always learn so much from your vids. Thank you!
I just picked one up about a month ago and I also love it - fantastic plant. It's already spitting out a bunch of new little leaves. I was surprised how thick the leaves were great plant.
Hi Nick, I love your videos. Your info is so perfect, so concise ... clear, informative and to the point. ❤ You are the only UA-camr that I watch at normal speed and not at 1.5x speed. 🤣
Thank you for this video- I'm always trying to find the fastest growing indoor plants & this is very helpful! In case anyone reads this, I will share my experience.. I know this video is solely about houseplants, but I do feel the need to mention basil. I know, I know- it's an herb & not at all similar to the others. But I grow basil from seed & it's def a prolific grower. I also grow coleus from seed (rainbow mix) & they are amazing. It's always such a fun little surprise because the rainbow mix is random & you end up w/ several completely different looking plants even though they came from the same little seed packet. They're extremely easy, they're stunningly beautiful & they grow very quickly. Some of them remain little & compact & absolutely adorable, while others will quickly have leaves the size of your hand. And I definitely have to add philodendron brasil. I got 2 of them about 2-3ish months ago. It was during the middle of winter & I didn't expect for them to do much for awhile. But they continue to amaze me & have been consistently putting out tons of new growth, straight through the coldest, darkest time of year. I had to go up to 8" pots for both & I've already taken a bunch of cuttings which are doing very well. I really think they are the fastest growing plants I've ever had.
My first ruby cascade arrived dry as a bone and then when I watered it, it immediately rotted. Tried saving pieces of it and lost the struggle with it. I see it on your channel often (that’s why I bought it) but maybe I should try it again if i can find it. Thanks for another great video Nick!
Every time I watch your videos and decide to google a plant you mentioned, I always put 'Australia' at the end, because - well, that's where I am. And every time, before I get to finish, it pops up as one of the top 3 options. No idea how many Aussies you have watching.
Pothos are my favourite plants, I love how easily they grow and propagate. I'm really excited about the Neon Pothos and Baltic Blue cuttings I just got, the roots are growing like crazy. I can't wait for them to be big and beautiful in a year or 2!
THANKYOU for talking a little bit about Pepperspot. I picked one up at my grocery store a few months ago. It's such a cool plant, even without the red tones!! I have tried to figure out the difference between a ruby cascade for a while now. Love your videos!
I love plants. But I also am not the best plant mom. Lol. That pepperomia ruby cascade is soooo fast growing it’s unreal. I LITERALLY swore I could SEE it growing right before before my eyes lol. I swear it grew a foot in 2 weeks. It was insane. They do poop out at a certain point tho. I didn’t know what to do at the time. But now I know lol
To prevent the balding of ruby cascade, once a while place it on a ledge where the light source is vertically above it. I am trying it and it seems to be helping.
Pothos along with Aglaonemas are my favourite plants. Pothos grow like crazy, they look great and they're happy in every spot. Aglaonemas don't grow very fast but they are so easy and look gorgeous. I have loads of both.
@@cesargarcia1816 you judge whether a plant needs water by seeing how pliable the leaves are. If they bend into a taco shell shape, it's time to water.
I loved watching this video. It's always interesting to hear what plants do well for people. I think one of the fastest-growing plants for me is tradescantia fluminensis vergata. I also think that tradescantia silomontana grows really fast for me. However, if you grow tradescantia silomontana in higher light, I find it grows slower and produces denser, fuzzier growth.
Nick with a scindaptis, is there a point that you've waited maybe a little too long to water it and then the leaves really don't flatten back out I had one that did that they kind of just stayed curled
I love seeing someone who is so extremely knowledge about all these beautiful plants. Thank you for such important information that I need as Im now becoming a plant parent.
My Peperomia Ruby Cascade grows so insanely fast (in West window). My 1” starter has nearly doubled in size in less than 2 months! Love a Peperomia that actually grows 🤗
I don't know what wrong I am doing but my montera adinsonii can't grow because all her new leafs are drying before it even open up. What could be the reason for this? Dry air?
I need a rhafidaphora tetrasperma! I want to add (maybe my plant just loves me, but) my tradescantia zebrina grows like crazy! Gorgeous in my macrame hanger and I always see them for cheap at the stores.
Same! Last summer I got one tiny cutting now I have a very big full plant that's a meter long and I've given whole plants to 3 friends I swear I think it grows a new leaf every 2nd day
I bought a small Raphidophora Tetrasperma recently and I had no idea they were such fast growers! Mine has been struggling a bit since it was soaked in the supermarket and I had to repot it. I'll need to plan some support for it then! I fashioned a small support for my baby Monstera Adansonii out of wire but I think I'll get a moss pole for it - it certainly woke up from Winter before my bigger Monstera Deliciosa. And I so want a scindapsus pictus, it's so pretty! I have the golden pothos and golden pothos neon but they're still small (I started my collection last year). I really can't imagine my plants growing to the ceiling wow! I love your collection!
14:36 That senecio is lovely and I hope it catches on to maybe someday replace ivy as a houseplant, especially because regular ivy is an allergy/sensitization disaster that can trigger asthma and cause people to develop breathing difficulty and rashes if they say, touch it every other day and trim it regularly.
English ivy is something that will grow insanely fast if you give it what it needs, it has pushed out 2 leaves wothing the past week and i have only watered it once since i got it, about a month ago.
I got a pothos recently and I can still say that I haven't seen any plant be more adaptable as quick to grow and propagate as often as aloe vera and spider plants do.
I will have to agree on the Raphidophora tetrasperma. We have both of our plants climbing on a birch trunk indoors and have since taken out several cuttings in just 6 months. Very attractive and fuss-free, they just want to grow, grow, grow! Unfortunately our adansonii had musaik virus so we had to throw it away and never got one ever again. The manjula, N'Joy, Marble Queen, Epi lime and Scindapsus love to grow profusely as well. Greetings from Germany!
The wax ivy is a great tip. English ivy grows without issue in my house, but I can't offer any advice because I don't do anything special... it's just carefree here for some reason, even through the dry Wisconsin winters. Now I can recommend an alternative to folks who are tired of struggling with ivy. Thanks!
I've got the same exact experience with ivy's indoors. They thrive on my balcony, but whenever indoors - problematic. Tried several different helixes, hestors, hibernicas etc. Luckily i found the solution: Hedera Gloire De Marengo. The most beautiful Hedera in my opinion. And they thrive indoors. I believe the variegation makes it more suitable.
Bought a 5" hanging golden pothos about 4 months ago. I have had to cut it back to the pot rim *twice* already, and have started like 20 cuttings now, each between 6 and 10 inches long (some particularly long vines were cut in half because they were in the neighborhood of 14 inches). Clearly it appreciates the fertilizer and sitting right in a north-east window. I have to water it twice a week because it drinks so much fueling the explosive growth. I have Jade, Neon, Manjula and Snow Queen as well, but the Golden is definitely the fastest growing (though the Snow Queen is putting up a good effort for second place). When I finally get the space to train a pothos up an 8' pole to try for the giant "Hawaiian Style" leaves, it's going to be the Golden Pothos I do it with. The only plant in my house that could give the pothos a run for it's money would be the raphidophora. That thing is a beast, and I already gave it an 8' totem because it clearly wanted to lick the ceiling. Edit: if you want a fast-growing scindapsis with big leaves, scindapsis truebii "Moonlight" is pretty vigorous when given decent light. I probably get a leaf a week per stem, and they're nice and large. I really want to try the dark form too, but right now they're still pretty expensive online.
Hi Cheryl, Try checking Etsy. High prices but there are sellers. It is sold as outdoor plant in hot climates and even a "Proven Winner" offering. Are you in Ca.? Easy to root cuttings too.
Hey, thanks Nick for the advice on getting a pepperomia ruby cascade, from another of your videos maybe from last year or so. I finally finally saw them at Walmart and I bought 2. They are very fast growing and I think just as cute as the now very expensive other plant. I'll won't mention any names...hehe
I’ve never heard a single other person mention Swedish Ivy or Royal Charlie, but I got some cuttings a year ago and now it’s in a 10 inch pot. It has EXPLODED. By far faster than the pothos even.
Never have had luck with pothos but Syngoniums always grew fast for me. I had to take cuttings once a week to keep it from taking over my gecko terrarium and it was a 3ft x 1.5ft aquarium. housed a colony of leopard geckos. Tropical Vining pitcher plants grew almost as fast id say about six inches to foot a month in the warmer months usually nothing in the winter though not even a pitcher Also my ficus I bought as a little sapling grew taller then I am in 4 years. Im 6'5 for reference. Christmas cactus gets huge fairly fast just don't disturb its roots!!! Im assuming other tropical forest cactus would be similar but never had personal experience. They are something alot of plant keepers sleep on but are really beautiful. Can't wait till I get someplace I can keep plants a large assortment of plants again
You remind me of Dominic Monaghan, I love your channel and I have watched many of your most popular videos. I've learned a lot about how to take care of houseplants from you. You're a great content creator and I wish you a lot of success with your channel. Saying hi from East Coast Canada.
Great video. I love my English ivy though, have it for a year and had it in low light and it grew so fast, with no pest problems! I love it ☺️ I love all the plants mentioned in this video
Hi Nick! I really enjoyed seeing, and reading the comments, on fast growing plants. I have a Golden, Cebu Blue and Marble Queen pothos, a Brasil and heart leaf philo and the Monstera adansonii, Senecio macroglossus "Variegatus" and Ceropegia linearis ssp.
Bought my Golden Pothos from Rooted because I had credits. It arrived in okay condition. You can tell they were just a bunch of cuttings potted up. It was in a 4” pot. After the credit, winter insurance, taxes, and whatnot, it still cost me almost $3. I wish I knew about Hirt’s, Gabriella and Etsy before I spent the credit on it though. I must be doing something wrong as well, it hasn’t grown since I got it in December. It probably has since there are so many leaves to keep track of though. I don’t even know.
Thanks ☺🌼 I'd suggest giving Asparagus a go - they do grow fast and if anything happens (i.e. a human neglects them 😒) you cut them and they grow back - a miracle! Honorable mention to Tradescantia!
I bought one of those regular everyday prayer plants and i swear, it sprouts a new leaf every other day. I've just had it for s few months and had to repot it.
I just love all of your plants, and am happy that you love the uncommon ones as much as I do, there are so many wonderful plants that are fun to have. Thanks so much for a great video Nick and I look forward to your next one. take care sending love and hugs, bye for now.
My umbrella tree is my fastest grower. Even though it is very dramatic, when it gets in the right conditions it grows like a weed. Like in 2 weeks it has grown 6-9 new umbrellas.
I hope that someday I meet someone who loves me the way Nick loves pepperomias.
🤣
😭😂
Ha!
You sure will my dear, you deserving and worthy of love.
😍😍😂😍
Nick: Neon pothos is a very fast grower.
Me, while looking mine: You grow with the pace of a tortoise. With a broken leg. You should be ashamed of yourself...
Mine is also extremlly slow growing
I have the same problem with mine!!
Mine was slow till I placed it outdoors
Came here to say this but you beat me to it. My cutting gave me one leaf and then just stopped. It's been months!
I think for the neon pothos the rule of “1st year it sleeps, 2nd year it creeps and 3rd year it leaps” very much still applies... have had these small plants that have just had a couple leaves grown from cuttings but nowhere near “vining”...

I took so many golden pothos cuttings that I got overwhelmed and just abandoned them outside in a random pot, now I have a bushy trailing plant
great video! would love a comparison / ranking of all the “string of ...” plants haha
Yesssss I second this!! I need some help choosing which one would be the best choice for me
I cannot grow a string of pearls to save my life here in South Louisiana and I have no problem with any of my other succulents.
i really really want a string of turtles
I hope to see a plants for patient slow growers. We love watching paint dry.
Oh you mean Lithops! Lol...
Get an air plant! Ive been watching mine dance over the past few months
I’ve killed several golden pothos 🤣 I can keep expensive, rarer plants alive and thriving but not this one! Maybe it’s time to try again. Good thing they are affordable!
My rhaphidophora tetrasperma is literally the fastest growing plant have indoors. It grows new leaves DAILY! It's definitely like a freaking weed and I love it!
Whenever it puts out a new leaf, it comes with a baby one ready to open!
Mine is a slow grower...frustrated
Mine puts a leaf out as another dies . Is sad
How do you care for it? Mine hasn’t grown for the past months
Minde is still young and isn't growing this fast. But a new leaf every week-2 weeks
To mention some plant that's not trailing nor climbing, my Alocasia Cucullata grows insanely fast. It doesn't get much light but it's standing right next to the humidifier, and it grows new leaf every two weeks. It's getting huge so fast it scares me.
Can relate.......the thought of having plants take over my home like in this video gives me the horrors!
I personally find my philodendron brasil to be super fast growing. I got it last summer as a baby and it's literally taking over my house. All of philodendron plants take over lol. Basic heart leaf and Monstera..all big plants! And they grew super fast!
Yes me too!! My brasil always has loads of new leaves emerging!
same i love my philodendron brasil/ cordatum they’re so fast growing and for some reason i always have a problem w pothos being leggy and don’t like them near as much as philo cordatums
"give it a grow" love it. I'm genuinely not sure if you did that on purpose or not haha
Edit: I am SHOCKED at the lack of string of hearts in this video 😂 where is your love for him? You used to talk about it every third video!
I don't mind. I have a deep dislike for that plant. No idea why.
@@cherylanne6549 it seems like a pain in the ass to untangle and repot.
@@cherylanne6549 i think it’s just ugly lol
I’m so glad I watched this video because if the rhaphidophora grows faster than the monstera adansonii then I am not ready.
The reason i am really investing in my education is that i want to get a good job to be able to level up from my small appartment so i can have more plants, and in the long term i hope i am able to one day maybe even own a garden (i live in a small but expensive country, space is just very expensive).

Turtle vines! They are beautiful and bushy with dark green and purple leaves, and grow like crazy. Ridiculously easy to propagate too! Just stick a cutting in some dirt and it will take off.

Nick with a scindaptis, is there a point that you've waited maybe a little too long to water it and then the leaves really don't flatten back out I had one that did that they kind of just stayed curled
I love seeing someone who is so extremely knowledge about all these beautiful plants. Thank you for such important information that I need as Im now becoming a plant parent.
My Peperomia Ruby Cascade grows so insanely fast (in West window). My 1” starter has nearly doubled in size in less than 2 months! Love a Peperomia that actually grows 🤗
I don't know what wrong I am doing but my montera adinsonii can't grow because all her new leafs are drying before it even open up.
What could be the reason for this? Dry air?
I love watching your videos. Your voice is so soothing, I just zone out and druel over your plants lol Thanks ! You are very thorough!
I had an ivy as a houseplant and it was miserable - planted it outside and it has covered a tool shed in the garden! Thanks for idea with senecio ;)
You're knowledgeable is incredible, I could listen to you speak for hours! I'm so glad I found your channel! ❤
I need a rhafidaphora tetrasperma! I want to add (maybe my plant just loves me, but) my tradescantia zebrina grows like crazy! Gorgeous in my macrame hanger and I always see them for cheap at the stores.
Same! Last summer I got one tiny cutting now I have a very big full plant that's a meter long and I've given whole plants to 3 friends I swear I think it grows a new leaf every 2nd day
2yrs later, Pothos are now $19.99 for a smal hanging and $5.99 for a 4inch which isnt bad for a 4in, they are my favorite plant❤
Salmon color is YOUR color ... just saying 😁🎉 great vid as always
Here I am. Again. To listen to nick pronounce the plants names
I got so excited when he talked about Rhapsidaphora Tetrasperma!! I just bought a rooted cutting about a month ago and he's grown SO much 😭❤
I wish I was one of Nick’s friends to get some of those amazing cuttings that he gives
nice video, i appreciate that you don´t talk slow and don´t explain everything like 10 times 💚
I bought a small Raphidophora Tetrasperma recently and I had no idea they were such fast growers! Mine has been struggling a bit since it was soaked in the supermarket and I had to repot it. I'll need to plan some support for it then!
I fashioned a small support for my baby Monstera Adansonii out of wire but I think I'll get a moss pole for it - it certainly woke up from Winter before my bigger Monstera Deliciosa.
And I so want a scindapsus pictus, it's so pretty! I have the golden pothos and golden pothos neon but they're still small (I started my collection last year). I really can't imagine my plants growing to the ceiling wow!
I love your collection!
14:36 That senecio is lovely and I hope it catches on to maybe someday replace ivy as a houseplant, especially because regular ivy is an allergy/sensitization disaster that can trigger asthma and cause people to develop breathing difficulty and rashes if they say, touch it every other day and trim it regularly.
English ivy is something that will grow insanely fast if you give it what it needs, it has pushed out 2 leaves wothing the past week and i have only watered it once since i got it, about a month ago.
I got a pothos recently and I can still say that I haven't seen any plant be more adaptable as quick to grow and propagate as often as aloe vera and spider plants do.
I will have to agree on the Raphidophora tetrasperma. We have both of our plants climbing on a birch trunk indoors and have since taken out several cuttings in just 6 months. Very attractive and fuss-free, they just want to grow, grow, grow! Unfortunately our adansonii had musaik virus so we had to throw it away and never got one ever again. The manjula, N'Joy, Marble Queen, Epi lime and Scindapsus love to grow profusely as well. Greetings from Germany!
i agree with all of these but my syngoniums grow exponentially to the point where i’ve had to repot the one plant thrice in the last year
The wax ivy is a great tip. English ivy grows without issue in my house, but I can't offer any advice because I don't do anything special... it's just carefree here for some reason, even through the dry Wisconsin winters. Now I can recommend an alternative to folks who are tired of struggling with ivy. Thanks!
I've got the same exact experience with ivy's indoors. They thrive on my balcony, but whenever indoors - problematic.
Tried several different helixes, hestors, hibernicas etc.
Luckily i found the solution: Hedera Gloire De Marengo.
The most beautiful Hedera in my opinion. And they thrive indoors. I believe the variegation makes it more suitable.
Bought a 5" hanging golden pothos about 4 months ago. I have had to cut it back to the pot rim *twice* already, and have started like 20 cuttings now, each between 6 and 10 inches long (some particularly long vines were cut in half because they were in the neighborhood of 14 inches). Clearly it appreciates the fertilizer and sitting right in a north-east window. I have to water it twice a week because it drinks so much fueling the explosive growth. I have Jade, Neon, Manjula and Snow Queen as well, but the Golden is definitely the fastest growing (though the Snow Queen is putting up a good effort for second place). When I finally get the space to train a pothos up an 8' pole to try for the giant "Hawaiian Style" leaves, it's going to be the Golden Pothos I do it with.
The only plant in my house that could give the pothos a run for it's money would be the raphidophora. That thing is a beast, and I already gave it an 8' totem because it clearly wanted to lick the ceiling.
Edit: if you want a fast-growing scindapsis with big leaves, scindapsis truebii "Moonlight" is pretty vigorous when given decent light. I probably get a leaf a week per stem, and they're nice and large. I really want to try the dark form too, but right now they're still pretty expensive online.
I totally agree with all those choices. One plant I can’t track down is wax ivy. I’m on the hunt this year for sure.
Hi Cheryl, Try checking Etsy. High prices but there are sellers. It is sold as outdoor plant in hot climates and even a "Proven Winner" offering. Are you in Ca.? Easy to root cuttings too.
@@janwells2199 thank you. I’m just East of Toronto, Ontario.
omg I just love you. Thanks for sharing one today. I needed something inspiring before the weekend of planty fun!
Hey, thanks Nick for the advice on getting a pepperomia ruby cascade, from another of your videos maybe from last year or so. I finally finally saw them at Walmart and I bought 2. They are very fast growing and I think just as cute as the now very expensive other plant. I'll won't mention any names...hehe
I have a purple velvet plant that grows super fast! It's very fun looking, fuzzy, easy to propagate. I can't give cuttings away fast enough
I'm really happy that I watched this video and I immediately searched for senecio macroglossus! Amazing plant
My Tradescantia Chrysophylla is a crazy grower. I just cut some 10 days ago to propagate in soil and it has already rooted and grown an inch!
I’ve never heard a single other person mention Swedish Ivy or Royal Charlie, but I got some cuttings a year ago and now it’s in a 10 inch pot. It has EXPLODED. By far faster than the pothos even.
I have a monstera adonsonii and it’s grown so much in 3 full months since I got and I’m going to try the pole to see if it’ll grow more
Never have had luck with pothos but Syngoniums always grew fast for me. I had to take cuttings once a week to keep it from taking over my gecko terrarium and it was a 3ft x 1.5ft aquarium. housed a colony of leopard geckos.
Tropical Vining pitcher plants grew almost as fast id say about six inches to foot a month in the warmer months usually nothing in the winter though not even a pitcher
Also my ficus I bought as a little sapling grew taller then I am in 4 years. Im 6'5 for reference.
Christmas cactus gets huge fairly fast just don't disturb its roots!!! Im assuming other tropical forest cactus would be similar but never had personal experience. They are something alot of plant keepers sleep on but are really beautiful.
Can't wait till I get someplace I can keep plants a large assortment of plants again
I grow my Adonsonii trailing and it grows like CRAZY
Mine hangs for a window and grew 3 foot in 6 months
My Argyreus is a champ! It’s a little pot of wonder and it is growing faster than my pothos! It’s my most favorite plant!
If you gave the ruby cascade top light would it still eventually lose the top leaves?
You remind me of Dominic Monaghan, I love your channel and I have watched many of your most popular videos. I've learned a lot about how to take care of houseplants from you. You're a great content creator and I wish you a lot of success with your channel. Saying hi from East Coast Canada.
Still looking for some of these i love long viney plants
Great video. I love my English ivy though, have it for a year and had it in low light and it grew so fast, with no pest problems! I love it ☺️ I love all the plants mentioned in this video
Thanks for another great video Nick 👍🏻 I would have to say that my monstera siltepecana is my fastest growing plant... I absolutely adore her 💚💚💚
Hi Nick! I really enjoyed seeing, and reading the comments, on fast growing plants. I have a Golden, Cebu Blue and Marble Queen pothos, a Brasil and heart leaf philo and the Monstera adansonii, Senecio macroglossus "Variegatus" and Ceropegia linearis ssp.
We got a Fish hooks about 6 weeks ago and it’s already trialed 1.5 feet with 4-5 vines!
I just got a starter one today, and I'm looking forward to it trailing. Do you have any suggestions on watering (I've rotted many a string of pearls)?
Wow that pepperomia cascading very long beautiful I love it watching from California thanks for sharing your vedio god bless and stay safe
Bought my Golden Pothos from Rooted because I had credits. It arrived in okay condition. You can tell they were just a bunch of cuttings potted up. It was in a 4” pot. After the credit, winter insurance, taxes, and whatnot, it still cost me almost $3. I wish I knew about Hirt’s, Gabriella and Etsy before I spent the credit on it though.
I must be doing something wrong as well, it hasn’t grown since I got it in December. It probably has since there are so many leaves to keep track of though. I don’t even know.
Thanks ☺🌼
I'd suggest giving Asparagus a go - they do grow fast and if anything happens (i.e. a human neglects them 😒) you cut them and they grow back - a miracle!
Honorable mention to Tradescantia!
My ruby cascade died :( :( one of the plants I lost over winter... but some of my other pep are doing so well! Big and beautiful!!
I bought one of those regular everyday prayer plants and i swear, it sprouts a new leaf every other day. I've just had it for s few months and had to repot it.
I just love all of your plants, and am happy that you love the uncommon ones as much as I do, there are so many wonderful plants that are fun to have. Thanks so much for a great video Nick and I look forward to your next one. take care sending love and hugs, bye for now.
I've yet to see one of your videos I didn't enjoy or learn something from! 🤩🤩
I have never seen a straight persom with a plant obsession
I love love love the the pot that the ruby is in the colors are beautiful on that pot the plant is pretty too I love all of your videos
My umbrella tree is my fastest grower. Even though it is very dramatic, when it gets in the right conditions it grows like a weed. Like in 2 weeks it has grown 6-9 new umbrellas.
