Surprisingly ( before this video)my monstera adansonai is thriving in the porch darkest place.

My monstera adansonii hangs in a west window where there is a large maple tree outside. I was worried it might be too dark there. It grew 6 " long over the summer. It touched the floor and I had to cut it back. I love it, it works like a curtain for privacy.

I'm a New Plant Parent I really needed this, Thanx! Hailing from Indianapolis Indiana ❤

I love seeing the change in your videos from a year ago. You've definitely done a great job getting better angles, being more concise, and just overall better quality, I really enjoy the progress! On topic though, our snake plant was right by a North facing window and got SUPER thin. Like under 2 cm. It did not like it

Loving the energy

I've become plant obsessed since lockdown. Love your stuff, thanks for the help. 😎

Wow, just recently ran across your channel and it's cool seeing how you've relaxed and let your personality come through in the latest videos.

Hello, I am loving this channel. I am new to taking care of plants and this has been helping me a lot. Thanks.

Are you OK today?

Just found your channel thank you for the helpful tips and you explain things very direct and simply. Xx😍

Very helpful tips. Thank you

I love your videos..so easy to understand and follow!! I'm making a list of plants as I text!! Thank you so much

Great info as usual. Thank you. 🤓🪴👍

The snake plants are some of my favourite plants! I recently discovered the Sansevieria Hahnii which are the dwarf versions. I just ordered one of them, but saw the larger ones in Tesco when I went earlier and also B&M have started selling succulents

its funny watching this and comparing it to the newer video 😂😂 the quality of your videos has definitely improved!

Good tips thanks 👏

The lighting in my apartment isn’t great, so this is very helpful. Thank you! 🪴

I have a Ponytail palm in a north facing window. I only water it a few times a year. It's been in the same spot for 13 years. It does very well.

good info--thanks

I have a north facing window and a south facing window and I need some more low light plants for that window thanks so much!

enjoy watching very interesting content about plants

I wanted trailing plants in my master bathroom, which only has one small northeast facing window. The light level is gloomy - like just before a storm - and what absolutely works well is English ivy. I bought two from the local hardware store a couple of months ago, Asterisk and a gold-edged variety. In a brightly lit, hot and humid greenhouse they were dull and leathery looking and on the sale shelf. Repotted, rinsed off, and given a shot of fertilizer and they are growing like crazy in all directions in my gloomy bathroom! Looking to add more!

Sorry I find what I was looking for and I really like your explanation and the place where you make your video

I love your videos 😍

OMG, Hello, I just started my plant collection and im in love with them, but thank God for you or they'd all be deceased, I will be watching all your videos thanks for being amazing...

Umbrella plants do go in dark places!? Crazy! Mine is outside. Its a bonsai tree for me

Is really good video with a very nice explanation the only thing that I wish is to see somewhere the names of the plants good job

My Chinese Money Plant does very well in low light.

Cyclamen grows in low light. Leafs are small and leggy but it grows.

Great video. I have noted a couple of plants (chinese money plant & zami oculus) that I would like to grow. Additionally, found out that Monstera Adasona is actually a low-light plant. I was shocked to see the lush green color of yours and understood why mine was light green bordering yellow. I too had it next to a bright lit window and now have changed its location to a darker spot. Lets see how it goes.

Rhapis excelsa

I got a Chamaedorea Elegans or Parlour Palm recently it was a steal at 2.49€ at Ikea. I got a small one so I can grow it myself. Normally I go for larger plants, I'm a happy plant parent of 30, 5 teenagers at about 5'5 but what I needed was somehing I can keep in a corner 3 m from a large window. So we'll see! 😊 🌴

Hi, the olants that you mentioned that are slow growing maybe depends on the climate. Because these same plants are fast growing in my region. You also have nice plants.

a little hard to get, dependig where you're from, but I love the Aspidistra for dark places :D

My Zz plant loves the light! I tried to put here in a more low light place and she was not happy 😂

Some medium light level plants are celosia and coleus. I never hear anything about them on plant channels yet they are my favorite plants! The foliage is outstanding range of colors and multi colors.

My umbrella plant got to about 9 years old, a tall tree with a long stalk. It bent towards the light, and wasn't the prettiest. I cant remember if i gave it away in the end, but it didn't die.

I have an alocasia elephant ear in a (Canadian) cold room with dismal lighting and it's thriving with new leaves 🤷‍♀️ wild. The nearby marble queen pothos is maintaining while, the nearby Danish ivy in the same room has started to suffer.

I really dislike the Pilea Peperomioides, so it is not something I will ever have in my collection. Unfortunately, I believe it and the Peperomia Raindrop the only cat safe ones on your list.

Hi there, thanks a lot for your great informative videos.I was wondering what is the white stones like part of top of the planter?Is it perlite?

I love all your lists. Do you have one for pet safe plants? Or non toxic plants?

My dumb cane is also doing well in low light. Maybe in the future as you talk about house plants, you might also mention whether the plant is toxic to pets or children. Thanks

Love the peperomia polybotra " raindrop" yours looks so happy...I agree it likes darker area, mine started to get burned and after moving it started to be happy again... love all your knowledge sharing thank you

Looks like your Dracenea and non-variegated Sansiveria are in cement.

Thank you for your good lessons. I often use google lens as well. Especially with my Oppo Find X3 smartphone with 30% or 60% Microscope. So I am hunting the "Pests" before meeting them on the leaves. Sorry for my bad English. I hope you get what I mean. Thank you from Beatrix Classen from Germany

Selaginella ferns and many Begonias are fine with very low light levels.

Fantastic informative show. Question ? How do you propagate a hydrangea from cut flowers with a long stem and several nodes? Or can you?

Thanks for wonderful tips....👍...what is that white stones? on top of the soil?

Love your videos. What are the yellow butterflies inside each of your pots?

My devil's ivy is just "impossible". In a year it didn't grow at all. Originally it was intended to sit on top of a book shelf two meters away from the window and climb down the shadow side. It just didn't start growing. It kind of started looking worse over the year. Late this summer I changed the soil and added layers of rock pebbles that don't react and release minerals for drainage and put it at the window (the window is to east but is also covered by balcony, a yard full of trees and two blocks of flats so there's barely any direct sunlight in the morning and in the noon, it's basically indirect sunlight even when the sun is right at the window). I water it when the top soil goes dry (from darker brown to light brown and looks more sandy). The pot has a hole in the bottom as well as a layer of rocks. It's also far from root bound in the pot, it had plenty of room to fill even though the pot is small. I've been giving it liquid plant fertilizer once a month, perhaps slightly less than the recommended amount in the bottle to be rather safe than sorry. It does look healthier after the soil change, pebbles and spot change (it's more perky as in upright and aims towards sun), but it hasn't grown under my eyes for sure, I still can't confirm if it has grown any in the past 2 months since the changes. Which is what I've come to expect from devil's ivy hearing from people having one. As opposed to super easy plant that doesn't care that much about how you take care of it, it feels like it's doomed to stay as a couple of independent leaves in short stem, definitely not an ivy. What makes the situation worse is that right next to it sits the sweetheart plant that I bought around the same time as I made the changes to devil's ivy, and it has grown a long tentacle and multiple leaves around the stand and roping over other plants on the stand and starting to rise back up too. All this makes me wonder if I've made the right changes and the plant is recovering and just starting to get wild, or if it's just gonna stay like that (or that there's still some important factor I'm not considering).

Love your videos, keep the content coming! My plants thank you, too! 😂 Question: what is the difference between a dwarf umbrella plant and an umbrella tree? The info on my moisture meter says they’re in two different moisture categories, but I can’t figure out which I have.

What do you have on the top of your soil and why? I am very new to house plants in Wisconsin. Love your videos. I have learned a lot.

my bedroom has a north facing window and the only space for a table is at the back of the room, which is around 4 metres away from the window. I really struggle making my bedroom look nice with plants and will definitely try some of these recommendations.

I've read that Begonia Rex and Marantas do ok in low light too, but I think a little grow light would help them out 🌿

😊

What is the lux light levels for the plants

peace lilies

Wish you put the name of the plants in a caption box. I kept pausing and rewinding trying to get the names of a few plants.

I just discovered all your plant videos! Can all these plants go outside when the tempeture is perfect? I live in North Central Illinois and I havwe been putting my 10 100 year old plants outside in the summer and they love it! But what about the house plants? I really want to buy a Rubber or Ficus plant! Very grateful for your videos!

I notice there is a lot of perlite on the top of your soil. Is it just on the top? What is the reason for it? Is it juste esthetic? By the way, I have discovered your channel just a few weeks ago and I am really enjoying it! It’s accessible and very helpful for a bigginer like me.

I have the first type of snake plant that's mostly green with those darker marks in the master bath, which has a skylight, so I feel it gets a decent amount of light but the leaves are growing out really thin then open up at the top. Would I be able to get some help on this?

Do you have information or a video on Fatsia japonica?

Any reason you stopped using the white top dressing? I have a bag of white river rocks and was thinking about it but now I see you did it a year ago but don't seem to anymore. Would love to know if you still do for some plants or what made you stop? Biggest reason I haven't yet is bc I use a watermeter on several of my plants and I worry about the airyness by essentially capping the top off!

My Ficus elastica was in a darker spot and started losing leaves (down to just one leaf per stem!) but when I moved it to a brighter spot, it started to thrive.

❤❤❤❤ hit wrong button and it printed baby girl

my adansonii kept pushing out new leaves and the older ones keep turning yellow and die off. the cycle continued until the plant just died. i dunno what's going on

Good informative video! 👍 aglonema Chinese evergreen low light plant?

Can we notch the stems of dracena for more branching?

Do they do well in airconditioning room cold room

Question 🙋🏻‍♀️ what is the white layer on top of your plants

Question...what is the white substance on top of the soil?

❤❤Love you too baby girl I

What about a closet

Are these also good for beginners?

dracaena marginata?

If you propagate a snake plant will it grow to another type of snake plant and not the same as the one propagated every time?

what are the lill stones at the top of da soil in each plant pot ? 👀 I am asking cause all my plants got infested with bunch of tiny lill flies .. and I wasn't able to get rid of them. 🙄 I wonder are those lill stones are there to protect it from the lill flies ?

What is the white stuff on top of most your plants?

What kind of light does a Christmas cactus l8ke?

How about ferns?

Much less 'singing' in this clip: was that on purpose or because of being tired or down?

Why do I have so much problems cultivating spider plants?. They all keep on dying.

Can’t get my zz to root

Golden Pothos, good, BUT will lose variegation (sames as all other variegated plants) and revert back to its original colour.

The ZZ plant has potato like rhizomes. I have , one who has only a single stem.😢....I would LOVE some advice..PLEASE PLEASE PAL-EEEZE 🙏🙏🙏

I bought a Schefflera 2 weeks ago and I'm sad because the leaves keep going brown, soft and falling off. Only watered once since I got it cos the soil seemed pretty wet. Doing research hasn't really helped, figured it must be over or under watering. It's currently 4 on my moisture meter (have same kind you use). It's in good, indirect light amongst a lot of my other plants that are doing well. I seem to struggle with plants people say are easy (umbrella plant, peace lily, monstera) but do ok with ones that are tough! (Like calathea)

Wish to see your plants in the real place . If they are really inside your house

My spider plants die

Sorry but your devils ivy needs much more light. It has lost all its natural variegation and converted to green leaves.

I don't think you feel well today because you seem very spaced out you seem very tired you may be sick I hope you feel better

I just found an office plant thought it was a mopnsteria but its not but very simular. I live in Canada so seeing it outside ment noone wanted it so I took it home had a shower (it was infested with mealy bugs)with it clean the leaves soaked it, now its in my front window but maybe I should move it, its 6 C here today...ficus elestica hates me, Ihad to stop buying em.
