I think it's called the rubber tree because the latex sap produced by these plants has historically been used to make rubber 😍 Love you and your content Becca!

I’m 67 years old and just now growing plants and I’m learning a lot from you. You are still a teacher. You just have a different connection and you’re educating a larger audience. Keep up the good work. I watched planterina. I was wondering why some of my plants didn’t look like hers and some died. With you I’m more focused on growing and letting go of my plants that don’t make it.

@EmilyB42 Год назад

i'm loving hearing about some of the sciency bits of house plants. i feel like so much of houseplant culture is folklore and word of mouth, its nice to remember these are plants the biologists study too

@loes6839 Год назад

For the prayer plants; stromanthe triostar and magic star are also really easy in my opinion. And a big plus is that most prayer plants are not toxic to cats. I also had great succes with maranta tricolor/red and the lemon one. And the Calathea medaillon (but these big). I have all prayer plants in my window in the kitchen. That window is north/west facing but when the sun gets to the west in the evening, the sun is also so low that the house of my neighbours blocks it. So they rarely get direct sun light. It's pretty dark there. And the moisture of cooking also seems to help. All of them have brown Crispy edges sometimes. And be aware of spider mites. (I got rid of my giant medaillon because it kept getting spidermites. I will replace it soon because I really miss it in my collection)

Thanks for this video! You know I love my Alocasia. Maharani and Regal Shield are definitely good easy ones. And now that I'm more experienced with them I'd say my Dragon Scale is as well. Begonias have been hit or miss for me, but my Iron Cross is absolutely thriving and needs very little care. 💚

@RandomRob3000 Год назад

Great content! Here are some others to consider from the same genus selection: Anthurium: A. andraeanum (Flamingo Flower) I have a collection of four different colors (Red, White, Pink, Violet) in a North window and they bloom almost constantly. Maranta: 'Rabbit Tracks' (M. leuconeura), Rattlesnake (Geoppertia insigniss), and Musaica (G. kegeljanii) also have had good luck with Ctenanthe burle-marxii (Fishbone). Agree with all of your selections though, what a great video! I have some kind of fern that is a 'volunteer' in several of my houseplants, but I"m not sure what it is - I think it is a type of maidenhair, but not the one you see typically sold. Also, another very easy 'fern' (that's not actually a fern) is the Asparagus fern (Asparagus densiflorous 'sprengeri') My mom (who is in her mid 80s) has a huge one that used to be her mother's.

@notverynotoriousg5674 Год назад

will second g. kegljanii and c. "burle marx". I have a lot of marantaceae but I really like these two because a little bit of care produces really great results, they are always putting out new leaves for me, makes me a proud plant papa. I have seen people grow g. orbifolia with similar results in greenhouses, but mine doesn't look like that, I think its more of a greenhouse plant than house plant.

Great Becca, loved this video. I love Syngonium and I have 10 of them, my favorite is the Albo Syngonium and mine was given to me in a start from one of my planty friends, and I really want to get a larger one soon. Being a plant parent does have it's challenges and also it can be a joy as well. Have a great weekend and I will look forward to your next video, sending love and hugs, bye!! 😂😉🥰🤗💜💜💜

@milajude_Environmentalist Год назад

I agree. That Monstera Deliciosa is the easiest and sturdiest of all and for me is so beautiful and gives a lot of happiness every time it grows a new leaf

@MelissaFranquii Год назад

I really loved this video!! I find alocasia very easy for me. I have over 20 species and for the most part all do well. I don't get spider mites, only when they're stressed. Only happened to my regal shields when she was root bound. The jewel alocasia are more finicky, my black velvet has stunted after putting out 3 inflos. Anthuriums also do very well for me, I find that I don't have to do much for them. I water when mostly dry with foliage pro. My conditions are 85F and 75%+ humidity. I have killed far more philodendron than any other genus😅, but I'm learning and the ones I currently have are doing well.

@redpanda1519 Год назад

the Alocasia maharani is actually a hybrid of Alocasia melo and black velvet! That’s probably why it’s a lot easier.

@emptynestgardens9057 Год назад

I love this content. For me living in Humid Ontario 🇨🇦 zone 5 my Alocasia Polly is my prized possession. She is vocal in that her leaf will start to droop at the petiole when she wants a soaking. The humidity in my home is 54% and 22c. I give her a very light mist every morning as well. She gave me inflorescence last January. I have not tried Hoya yet but it's on my plant bucket list now for sure.

@cmimitran Год назад

This was a fun video! Fyi ferns are actually a family (called Pteridaceae), not a genus. For example, a staghorn fern is called Platyceriumn '___' because Platycerium is the genus. Also, the backs of the leaves are called the abaxial. the front is called the adaxial.

@siusaidhchaimbeul5499 Год назад

Yes, I find them quite easy. If you keep them moist they don't make a dropped-leaf mess.

Hi Becca, loved the video. I have a Ficus audrey that has water spots and nothing l do has gotten rid of them. Do you have any plant shine recommendation, to buy or homemade. Thanks.

@PlantyGal05 Год назад

I got a monstera at my local grocery store. It was big when I purchased it but as soon as I put her on a wood plank her leaves went from 12 inches to 24 inches across! The aerial roots are so long now and the new leaves are coming out closer together than growth before the plank. But it’s definitely an easy care monstera.

@SarcasticShrubbery Год назад

Ficus elastica was my first houseplant in my current place and it's still going strong 12 years on! It took a while to get to know it properly but now it's taller than me and it functions almost like a room divider. My number one tip would be: don't be shy to prune it early on to encourage branching if you want it to be more bushy, mine grew very tall and lanky without branching and that wasn't great. I should just have chopped the tips off when it was much smaller. It's good now but it took a lot longer than it could have.

@teresarose7524 Год назад

from your fern list I would say that the Boston fern is the hardest one. She sheds inside. She is easy outside in summer- as are the others but I have had good luck for several years with the others.

@sakuradeva555 Год назад

Plants in the rainforest are so fascinating there are so many things out there that haven't been classified.

@emilymajeski Год назад

Ferns do SO well for me, I don’t really know how! But here’s what I’ve figured out….when I bring them in for the winter I put them close to an east window because they still do want light and it’s darker inside in the winter anyway, so it’s still not that strong. Also you can and should cut them back in February/ March because there simply will be die-off but they’ll bounce back twice as big and luscious in the summertime! Of course keep them damp and away from a heater indoors, but just remember to expect some browning, but it’s just part of it’s winter vibe. 😂

@inkandcaffeine Год назад

i neglect my ferns & they thrive hahaha, but ive only had boston ferns & tend to put them in an east facing window & water whenever the top of the soil feels dry, one of my childhood houses had a greenhouse with a fern wall fountain thing & it definitely started my love of ferns! edit: my fuchsia has begrudgingly taken to the pot!! (she needed a trim anyway) now to see if she'll survive the drive to a new climate

I just bought a rabbit foot fern for 25 cents at Lowes! It needed help! I felt so bad for it.

Wonderful video! Enjoyed it very much, thank you. Love all these plants especially the Hoyas, Agleonemas and Syngoniums. 👌🪴🥰

@BurningOrchids Год назад

The Rabbit's Foot Fern is super easy. I'm in Tempe so it's very dry here. I don't give it any special humidity at all. They actually need bright light (mine gets some direct morning sun) and don't like to dry all the way out, but other than that, super easy. Highly recommend.

@natalieshigrov8550 Год назад

I totally have to agree with you! I have at least 5 of them, inside and out under trees! Super easy!

@dianastandardtime Год назад

I have about 5 calatheas. The Orbifolia is actually one of the most fickle for me. It looked terrible acclimating, then it had great new growth. Then I couldn't get the watering schedule down during the changing seasons and it looked awful again. When my orb needed repotting, it also turned a few leaves ugly. Unfortunately, this one is my favorite, so I will deal with it until i can figure it out! The easiest are the rufibarba next to the makoyana. They looked pretty decent acclimating and kept putting out new growth. Some crisping edges but not as noticeable because they have lots of new growth. The orb tends to grow slower and imperfect leaves are more obvious since there are less of them.

@ot7stan207 Год назад

oh my god u have a philodendron goeldi. can u please do a video on that plant? seems to be so little info online about it, and I just got one

@ThePlantasticNerd Год назад

I honestly thought Calathea species were just renamed to Goepportia. I didn't know they were now 2 different species.

@Mandi_Hui Год назад

For me that are easy care are the Ficus Rubber trees, Sansevieria’s, Z Z plants and Hoyas which have recently started collecting. The ones i have had that have struggled are succulents, peperomia’s, Alocasia and Draceana’s. The Rabbit Foot Fern that scares me and creeps me out as i am scared of spiders looks like have spider legs coming out of the pot.

@AliciaMariesPhotographyNWI 7 месяцев назад

I have a few boston ferns and they just need a lot of water. Like every 3-4 days. I keep a water catcher attached underneath. I fertilizer every time I water. They are HEAVY feeders. Also I mist them everyday. They are like babies they need a lot of attention but they are truly one of my favorites. Also you have to get use to them they are a little messy and drop dead small foliage here and there so I get use to my fern glitter but my fern is ridiculously big lol and I am sooo proud of her and her other sisters haha

@giajonsson6696 Год назад

When it comes to Marantaceae I personally think the genus Ctenanthe overall is the easiest. And amongst Goeppertia the one I’ve found the easiest one to be G. makoyana :)

@giajonsson6696 Год назад

And regarding Syngonium I can find 36species. I’m guessing that the number of cultivars fool our minds and makes us believe that there are more species than it actually is :)

@maximaandrea496 11 месяцев назад

I don’t know why but my ferns do great and I have them in my livingroom… I do have the big 5L humidifier but it hasn’t been on in a good 10 months. So I don’t think that’s what’s making a difference. Both I bought as tiny/baby plants and one in currently in a 5inch pot (maiden hair one) the other I recently moved is in a 9inch pot (no clue what it is). The bigger one often has yellowing leaves but it keeps growing somehow and never looks like it’s actually in a bad way?? It’s like a small bush ball now. The other one sheds kinda also with under watering. Big one was in bright indirect light and now higher and a little darker, the 5inch one was in darker indirect light and is now in bright indirect light not far from a south window actually lmao. I live in Belgium, Europe. That’s all the info I have to give lol, I will now continue watching the video 🫶🏼

Could be lack of adequate light!

@olkaolka9092 Год назад

Probably too much light. Fenestration is supposed to give lower leaves light so I guess if there is too much, the plant doesn't have to do it.

@BLANKU2 Год назад

I think the phrase "The easiest plant" depends completely on the state or country a person lives in. Weather conditions / humidity / pests in your area uniquely plays on what can thrive indoors by you. I do not think a person should have to invest crazy amounts of money in order to keep a species alive only for it to only produce 2 leaves and one is always n the stage of melting lol. Join a local plant group to your area /town and just observe what is thriving for them first to save yourself some time / money / disappointments.
