    Love this! on Hoya affinity serpens: Its is soooo much easier! You can tell them apart because affinity serpens leaves come in purple/reddish!
    I ended up getting rid of my reg serpens because I could never keep it happy, but af serpens thrives with basic hoya care!

    I like easygoing aglaonema. I have the Maria, which is a beauty and grows quickly. I also love the aglaonema red Siam, the red ranges from a bright red to a burgundy and every leaf is different. I'm starting to lean toward common houseplants. They've become common for a reason. I've had a really bad crps flare that has knocked me flat for over a month. I've been paying attention to the plants that haven't skipped a beat. My 4 aglaonema are doing well. My "plain" green pothos, golden pothos, and marble queen are unfazed. I'm glad I have a lot of plants in self-watering pots.

    The H. Mathilde is definitely a Hoya that’s on my list. I love the idea of this video. Showing us the a plant versus battle.
    15:34 I’m on my 2nd one and she’s sitting in water. I got it from Growin Green for $25. It was a two leaf stick looking tree 😅. I definitely feel you. I loves the camo.
    18:42 Yes I loove the Ag. Chocolate found mine at my local nursery. They had these nice 5” pots with multiple plants for a good price. I should’ve gotten two.🌱💚

    Great video! I think the Summer Glory is an excellent choice as a substitute for the gloriosum also. It’s not velvety like the gloriosum and glorious but it is so easy and beautiful with pink petioles and pink veining.

    Self watering pots work great for me and mine thrive. No under or over watering problems. For pothos

    • @jaclynns.jungle
      @jaclynns.jungle  Рік тому +1

      It's definitely not a watering issue. I don't like how scraggly they can grow, and mostly how they revert. There's just better variegated pothos than those two.

    I’ve had my serpens for about a year now. I heard that it was fussy, likes increased humidity, and also is a creeper. I immediately transplanted to a wider pot, but still a small pot and pinned down each vine that was long enough (used a half a paper clip as a stake) and I keep it in my milsbo cabinet. It likes to almost dry out before watering but I tend to water it a bit more than other Hoyas. It’s loving life!

    I felt the same about the Brandi until I put it on one of those D-shaped foldable moss poles. Now my Brandi is one of my faves and is growing so happy! But I definitely almost gave up on mine before doing that lol.

  • @dianakassandra403
    @dianakassandra403 Рік тому +2

    I definitely agree with all your picks 😅 I have the Hoya Serpens and it’s in moss right next to the humidifier because it loves humidity but still struggles a bit. I do have a Gloriosum and it hasn’t been to bad for me. 100% hate Brandis 😂

    • @jaclynns.jungle
      @jaclynns.jungle  Рік тому

    Love the plants,all of them even the ones not to buy. I have 2 serpens and the one I pined to have it crawl, the other one is on a small trellis. The crawler died and the trellised one is still hanging in. I love my manjula and my snow queen. I’m only so so on my micans. It’s long but the leaf size is small the further down you go.

    Do you know if the pearls and jade will size up on a pole? This was a fun video. I can attest that the Summer Glory is easy…and beautiful.

    • @jaclynns.jungle
      @jaclynns.jungle  Рік тому

      A little bit, but not too much. They don't get fenestrated so I like them trailing!

    • @prismatica8416
      @prismatica8416 Рік тому +2

      They can size up quite a bit like any pothos that climbs. It might take a few years, but eventually you can get a monstera sized leaf. They don't size up dramatically leaf to leaf, but over time you will see it.
      Sydney plant guy actually has a MASSIVE njoy you can see in a few videos.

    The fact that half of the people that own gloriosum say that it is very difficult, and the other half say that it is very easy, is very confusing lol. My one is doing so well and growing very fast. Given, for some reason, I have easier time with more difficult plants, than the easy ones. For example my ZZ plant is suffering for years and look so bad but i dont know what I am doing wrong, and my spider plant just hates me.

    • @jaclynns.jungle
      @jaclynns.jungle  Рік тому +2

      Everyone is different!! But compared to other Philodendron, that one definitely causes more problems for a lot of people. And for ZZ plants, less water, more light!

    Oh gosh another great video and I do agree buy certain ones and don't buy others. I really love my Pothos Pearls n Jade and also N Joy, and I love the Manjula. I would really love to get the Aglaonema pictum tricolor, I have seen pictures of it but never have I seen one in person and it is so cool looking and I always love a pretty Aglaonema. But since that plant is so hard to find and get I agree that I would rather get the Homalomena Camoflage, it is so pretty and not as hard to take care of like that Aglaonema is. Oh I also love the Aglaonema Chocolate but have never found one yet. Oh there are so many beautiful plants I guess it is just what ever you might want and don't have to struggle with some of them. I love your suggestions on all of them and the different ones that are similar but easier than some. Thanks so much for a great video that gave me a lot of thoughts on some plants to get. I wish you a beautiful rest of your weekend, sending love and hugs, bye! 😂😍🤗😻👋👋👍👏🙌💜💜
