Just trim that Peace Lily back and it will grow back beautifully. Love how it tells you when it’s thirsty with it’s droopy leaves. The leaves perk right up.

@dawnknickerbocker7970 4 года назад

My favorite plant is a peace lily- even though I don't think you like it, hahahaha... Mine have all bounced back. They just need a lot of water because they are tropical. They also don't like direct sunlight. They are perfect for those shady parts of your house. They are my favorite because they are the BEST air cleaners. Keep them in your bedroom for restful night sleeps. In the kitchen to reduce cooking smells. In the living room in your dark corners. A great plant!

@kiemc1855 3 года назад

Dawn Knickerbocker: thank you for the tips about where to place your peace lily. I'm going to try them around the house like you said.

@elisabethvismans 3 года назад

I find them pretty resilient. They’re lush and grow at a steady speed. Yeah they’re thirsty, but don’t get too upset when they’re drying out a bit. And they don’t have to be in bright bright light.

@shaktievo5208 4 года назад

I found this best and worst houseplants video extremely helpful! I’m in the process of removing lots of faux house plants (that I’ve realised aren’t fooling anyone!) & replacing them with real plants... with varying degrees of luck! I’m relieved to hear that you have experienced varying degrees of luck with indoor plants too...yet you continue to experiment with plants and see what works for you! PS: Loving the darker walls/ doors & ceiling in your room.

@palecompass3598 4 года назад

That Peace Lily needs to be divided at the root ball and potted into 3 or 4 different pots. It's just outgrown the container, which means it doesn't have enough room to hold enough water for it either. Maidenhair Fern is native to North American woodlands. They love the Northern California Coast, where it's cool, wet and foggy. You could try keeping it in the bathroom, and giving it a gentle cold shower once or twice a week. Then leaving it in the shower stall for a while. It probably needs some organic fertilizer, too, since it's native to areas rich in organic material.

@deborahkee-urbanek369 4 года назад

You are so funny and honest and I love it. It’s nice to see someone who is just as bad with plant as I am. I’m 66 and my husband loves gardening. I said plant things that I can take care of incase you can’t when we’re older. He said that’s easy. I’ll plant artificial plants. I have to admit I have had orchids for a long time and they’re still blooming.

@HouseofValentina 4 года назад

bwahahaha! I love it!

@GG-si9we 4 года назад

Valentina, you are an absolute riot!!! I love your personality - you always make me smile or laugh. Those poor plants need a good trim. If a leaf is dead, cut it off for goodness sake! Just "carve" out a half-hour and get your clippers out and groom all those dead stems/leaves right off those babies. You'll be surprised how much your plants will LOVE you for it! lol

@HouseofValentina 4 года назад

Yes, they do and they got some TLC right after the camera turned off! LOL!

@jenniferkring9156 2 года назад

Such a fun & super helpful video. Valentina, you crack me up & make me feel better about my plant killing ways! You guys should try a Pothos… such a forgiving, easy plant… looks great & seems happy anywhere I style him.

Maidenhair fern and ficus killer here.🙋🏻‍♀️ I have had a peace lily for 15 years, though.😍

@HouseofValentina 4 года назад

yep, mine bounced back with some water. They are resilient little suckers! LOL!

@jennygodbolt-hoffman7787 4 года назад

I enjoy geraniums also. I still have some that I winter inside and then bring out in the summer. They also remind me of my Mother who had a lovely sunroom filled with them. A succulent that I enjoy is the Jade plant. It grows quickly making it a good decorative greenery and it doesn’t require much attention just plenty of light.

@nazikiwe8259 4 года назад

Enjoyed this video. Thanks for the realness! Lol Try distilled water for your Peace Lily. I was struggling with mine then read that the minerals in my tap water was the culprit. It worked! Great low maintenance plants: ZZ, pothos & ivy 😊 Ferns & ficus are my LEAST favorite - no time for spritzing everyday

@HouseofValentina 4 года назад

ooohhhh!! Thank you!

@jrepubyoutube2532 3 года назад

I love African Violets! They flower once a month so you will have flowers, it lets you know when it needs to be watered - the bottom leaves start to wilt. Tip always water from the bottom; morning sunlight and always repot with African Violet soil. You can use 2 drops of AV food in every watering except in the winter months. Leaves can be propagated. They come in lots of colors.

@livefree7244 4 года назад

So far, I’m loving my snake plant! It requires very little water (1x/mo) and not a lot of light. Plus, it has great modern lines!

@carolefox6553 4 года назад

Try a Christmas Cactus or a Thanksgiving Cactus. My Thanksgiving Cactus is about 20 years old. It blooms twice a year and has pretty leaves, ruby colored when they first form. Three of my four Christmas Cacti are at least 30, probably much older, and one of them is almost 100. They bloom from early December to late April. They all do well inside year-around and you can put them outside when the temp is in the 70s and above, if you want. (Hint - Peace Lilies are needy, but they can grow in just water.) You can do it, Valentina! :)

@HouseofValentina 4 года назад

Those are supposed to be the most resilient... but I killed one of those too. It was especially depressing because it was a gift from a friend. UGH

@galinam1081 3 года назад

OMG 😆 Girrrrl, I laughed so hard...If I still lived in Atlanta I would have offered to come and fix your plants. The Benjamin tree is really easy to take care of - needs lots of indirect light and watering once a week. Your peace lily is beautiful. It’s just too crowded! If you discard about third of it from the root it will be beautiful. Funny tho! Love your videos!

@HouseofValentina 3 года назад

Thanks, if you were here we could use the help!

@loserplanet 4 года назад

I also kill anything high maintenance. I've got two jobs, and no patience. I love a plant that droops when it needs water as well!

@tfeya777 2 года назад

My sister loves orchids, so I ran across a faux set of them at a thrift store where the flowers were pretty good quality, picked those up for her, cut off the faux flower stems and stuck them into her real orchid plants. When they start blooming she takes them out, but during the wait she has what looks like real blooms, on an actual live plant :)

@xeniaboutchard6496 2 года назад

Hi Valentina, I can see the chat is a bit older but really want to share my absolute favourite for darker corners: Cast Iron plant / Aspidistra elatior. It is so pretty and the easiest plant in my collection.

@mariapatriot9356 2 года назад

yes! I just bought a cast iron plant for my north facing dining room. Plus it's pet safe.

@kimwilliams1526 4 года назад

Big fan of orchids here! I love them. So easy. And I do the ice cube trick once a week.. I have a windowsill that I keep them growing on. I have success with reblooming. I can say that I do believe they have a life span. After about 3 or 4 blooming seasons they tend to stop blooming all together. They are very affordable and I buy them just as the blooms are first opening. A beauty for at least 4 months in my home.

@gemmapetersen4027 2 года назад

Tip for your orchid....keep it by the kitchen sink so it gets constant humidity and when you do the dishes you see it and remember to water it more often. That’s how I kept mine alive. 👍🏻

As a lifelong killer of plants, I really needed this guide. The only one that has stayed alive came from poundland as a mothers day present several years ago, but I don't even know what it is, lol.

oooh - love me some houseplants. I have about 15 different varieties around our apartment. I have a big problem with Philodendrons - terrible pests - what a mess. My good ones are the pothos, calathea, monstera and a few wild alocasia. If you want some good plant tips, check out Plantarina here on RU-vid. In the meantime, I'm trying to find out how you like that Stockholm striped rug in your living room - if it shows as much dirt as I've heard it does in the 'cream' stripes or if it's a yay! xoxo

@loserplanet 4 года назад

Z plants are SO easy to care for. I got one for $5 at IKEA. I neglected it for years and it grew so big it got too big for my kitchen counter and I moved it to my master bath and it's huge. Tolerates low light and dry soil.

@pamelapeterson2987 3 года назад

With my orchids, I cheat when they are not blooming and I stick a very realistic silk orchid flower in the pot....so they are always "in bloom". They actually are an easier plant to take care of in my opinion.

@nelliet1706 4 года назад

Lmao You kill me!!! I was laughing out loud for real! I use to have a peace lily but the only way I was able to keep it alive for years was by transferring and keeping it in a water vase. Tolerates low light bu if you want it to flower keep it in a bright room but not under direct light.

@HouseofValentina 4 года назад

Do you mean that you didn't have it in dirt or you had it in a lot of water in a vase with the dirt?

@nelliet1706 4 года назад

@@HouseofValentina Hi Valentina! It was just water. I cleaned off the dirt from the roots and placed it in a vase with a saucer holding the plant above water, and for a time I had a beta fish living in the vase. It required some maintenance, the water had to be refreshed and the roots trimmed to give the fish some room to swim. I love it though. Cheers!

@shirleyorensteen8973 4 года назад

Hey Valentina, for a long lasting orchid try a Phalaenopsis Orchid (aka Moth Orchid) They are beautiful and the blooms last at least 3 months, I water maybe once a month. They can re-bloom with proper care, but you can just throw them away or give to your mom when they're done!! Love all your shows!

@HouseofValentina 4 года назад

wow! I'm definitely going to look that up! My mom is the most nurturing person I know. She can whip blooms out of a cat! LOL!

Ελισάβετ Παπαδοπούλου I purchased a fake orchid stem, the petals have the feel of real petals, not the silk variety. My orchid came with clips, so I just tied up the fake bloom, and BAM!

The ficus is known to be fussy. I had great luck with mine however. Very very bright indirect light. Water thoroughly one a week. Peace lilys r actually very easy and forgiving, they r usually more work and not so happy if u have them in a brighter location. Move them to more shade and you'll get away with only watering them every 2 weeks or so. Oh also I've had bad luck with orchids, but I still buy them because someone once told me, it lasts longer than cut flowers for about the same price!!!

@ChiaraFrancioli 3 года назад

Sooo agree with you about orchids, it's not their being finicky but their being sad looking most of the time. Also, they seem to need their roots exposed to light to thrive, as in "do I hide that plastic vase in a plant pot and ruin the plant or do I leave it out and ruin the decor?" Also, they have become so mainstream here in Italy (and yet have this distinct rain forest vibe that matches very few interiors) that I find them almost tacky out of their context. With all that said, I am keeping two alive in our bathroom (they were a gift when our baby was born and I can't bring myself to wave them goodbye) and I don't even mind them having been just two leaves for months. But the brown-ish roots that immediately lost their healthy plumpness...? Nope.

@nancyhoskins197 3 года назад

Don’t loose heart! Houseplants add life and energy. There is a great deal of information on line. I bought a bird nest “fern”. It has thicker leaves, a swirl pattern growth, which makes a center spot for a ceramic egg, bird, faux flower bouquet surprise. So much fun at Easter! We have bright but filtered with sheer curtains light. Small citrus trees are lovely in a sun room. In shade, try a moss, particularly nice with a sculpture in the center. The sculpture draws attention so you never forget a sip out of your bottled water for it. Since Landon loves plants in the garden, let him help with house plant, of his choice. Suggest really great looking pots and vases shapes in glass so he can watch root growth. Try cutting root end off celery root, placing in water just above where green stalk starts. Fun watching and kitchen window great location for new celery stalks. Great addition to recipes. Pretty, too. Carrot tops are prettier than maidenhair fern and easier. Cut at 1/2 from root end and put in lovely bowl in 1 inch water. Don’t forget letting him try sweet potatoes, The leafing branches are gorgeous!

@melaniesuzanne6965 4 года назад

Oof. I’m usually good with plants - I’ve even got a 22-year-old plant and a 20-year-old plant which are both in perfect health despite six moves and multiple cats. :-) I love trailing plants and have pothos, wandering jew, and creeping fig (which looks more like ivy rather than the usual ficus) at the tops of all of my shelves. Orchids and succulents are NOT my friends, though. I’ve killed so many succulents over the years and have an unhappy looking orchid in my kitchen and a pretty-much-dead orchid in the master bath. I’m sticking with the fakes from here on out.

That wall area right outside of your office is perfect for the Peace Lilly. It’s bright but there’s no direct sunlight. Add more organic soil, bark, coffee grounds. Water when leaves are drooping and she’ll bring you peace. Otherwise, leave it on the curb with a FREE sign and she’ll be picked up by the time you reach your front door.

Apparently it is! My mom's friend asked for a cutting and I was like, "How about I just give you the plant?" LOL!

Snake plants are awesome you can neglect them shade or sun light. They will thrive and always looks amazing.

Monstera deliciousa is the best plant ever! the more that I trim off a hunk with the nub or root and throw in water, the more my main plant grows. I also love my philedendrons. other favorites include pathos, spider plant and snake plant I have a couple of different types snake plants and the more I neglect them the better they do. for my NO GOs christmas cactus I've had one for years. it just keeps on living but not really growing. I had a Alocasia that was gorgeous when i bought it, but not anymore. my swiss cheese monstera is very difficult. I'm losing a leaf every week or so. my clippings that are in water are doing better than my main plant. I'm also not in love with my prayer plant. BTW I hate peace lilies. i always hear that they remove toxins from the air but I have the worst trouble with allergies around them.

My home runs North to South, I get some natural light, zero direct light during the morning or day from the EAST, however, I do receive a boat load of direct light in the late afternoon early evening from the WEST, which is the warmest and I have to keep my curtains drawn otherwise that room gets to be a 100 degrees. I would need indoor shade plants that require little to no direct light. No plants in my home, not even fake ones... lol 😂
