@@cherryvintage4888 You have to do your homework about what each of your plants need because it can be quite different from one kind of plant to another. Most of our houseplants come from tropical or jungle climates, so you may need to mist their leaves with water. But some plants like to have just a little bit of water everyday so that they're moist but not drenched (plant roots will drown just like you and me if we can't get oxygen because our lungs are full of water). Some plants need a few hours of morning light -- too much light and they will get scorched/burnt, and others need bright "direct" light or they will drop their leaves and won't bloom. Some plants need a happy medium. You can try moving your plants from one window and then a couple of weeks to another and see if they respond. Houseplants also need to be repotted at some point. Snake plants actually like to be "root bound" but most plants don't. If you take the plant out of its pot and it's got a thick band of roots circling it, especially big fat ones, it needs a bigger pot. You can loosen the "root mass" by knocking off all the soil and running the roots under room temp water and gently loosening them a little with your hands before putting them in a new pot. People who know what they're doing also cut through the root mass or even cut off some roots, but if you don't know what you're doing (like you don't know what a tap root is) you may kill your plant. The new pot should be maybe two inches wider/deeper than the plant was growing in. And you need the soil line in the new pot to touch the plant at the same spot at the base of the plant as it did in the old pot - otherwise it could rot and die. You also need to repot plants after a year or two simply because all the good living things that were in the potting soil when you first brought it home may be depleted. Good soil is living soil. Fertilizer (unless its compost) doesn't feed those living micro organisms and it doesn't put any into the soil. Fertilizer is just a certain mix of minerals. Also check the underside of your plant's leaves periodically, especially if the plant looks sick. Look for any tiny bugs on/under the leaves and/or on the stems. You will have to do your own homework on how to get rid of the particular bugs (or diseases) you find - aphids, spider mites, scale, etc. You can also email a nice close up photo of your plant to the local Cooperative Extension service at a local college (usually in the agriculture department) and often someone can give you some ideas about what's going wrong. If you knock your plant out of the pot, by the way, and the roots are all mushy, then you overwatered it and the only thing you might be able to do is take a cutting off the dying plant and root it. You can't revive most plants if the roots are rotted. There are tons of good books on houseplant selection and care at the library, and even videos here on RU-vid, that probably will help you grow beautiful houseplants. Make sure to pay attention to the scientific name of your plant (it's usually on the ID stick plants are sold with). It makes it easier to look up information about that particular kind of plant. Good luck!
I was feeling very anxious all the time so I bought myself a bunch of plants and they have improved my mental health a lot, my lovely plants have keep me distracted while I have cared for them and now lots of things in my life have come around as I am not constantly worrying about them anymore. I have a snake plant, a spider plant, a calathea, 2 aloe vera, a mini orquid and a peace lily also I started to grow sunflowers in my garden, best thing I have ever done was getting my lovely plants.
@@DiaperSNiFFER, yes, I use them for mental wellbeing and de-stressing too. The sight of them is calming to me, especially when my Peace Lily blooms. I find caring for them calming and also being a member of groups of plant lovers, talking about our plants, asking questions and sharing content about them. The plants in this video can have the effect you are asking about. All the best.
Same! All my friends were starting to buy plants, so I got one myself. Surprisingly, it survived for a few months, so I bought another one...aaand another one...aaand-well, you can figure out the rest 😄 my mental health was not really good recently, but these plants have made it so much better! Wish I'd gotten into plants earlier.
Thank you for adding the pet info. I have a small apartment that I share with a dog and a cat, so it is hard to find a way to keep a plant completely away from them 100% of the time. I would love to see a video specifically about pet-friendly houseplants!
I grew my cat her own pot of lemongrass, and keep it in a window so she can lay down sun herself and munch. For ivy, use a hanging plant method, I have heart shaped philodendrons that like low lights, they are very pretty! I clean them by putting them in the shower a couple times a year, to dustbleaves individually is difficult. I have an indoor garden, and to keep the cat out, I use chopsticks around the pots as mini-spears. You can also buy cat grass, or the seeds, to start mini pots of them in a window, then rotate them by putting them next to animal food dishes for dog and cat to munch on. This will satisfy them and they should no longer munch your plants.
You might want to read the (very long) comment I wrote about how many plants it takes to clean your home's air and what goes into making sure you have healthy plants that help you stay healthy. I posted on May 23, 2021.
I just love houseplants - since Augusta 2019 I collected them and finally my room is full! Just made a video about the same topic it’s just so much fun to talk about!!
Are you gonna go get more plants for your home? What is your favourite plant on this list? If you enjoyed this video, please give it a like and share it with your friends!🙂
I was thinking about adding a few plants in my house, I remember when I was growing up we always had plants around the house in different rooms...as I've gotten older I completely forgot about having them in the house. Anyway, thanks for the recommendations...great video. Liked and subscribed. 😎👍

I’m going to buy a snake plant soon. I have a lot of ZZplants that has grown so big and beautiful and a lot of pathos. Everything else dies including th 6 ferns I had. I love ferns too but I cannot keep them alive. Plants has went up on the prices this year too
@@sisteryael9802 I do watering my 2 spider plant with well water almost 1 year and still alive and grow bigger.. anw, don't use tap or faucet water because it containts of chlorine, they're very sensitive .. or you can use distilled water/mineral water. My peace lily also die slowly and I don't know exactly 😂😂, but I put there in shade place and use well water. Peace lily is difficult to care of. So The best choice houseplant that easy to care of is snake plant, spider plant, dracaena, and zz plant too..*(based on my experience)
I Love Plants 🪴! My favorite is Aloe Vera, they're not only beautiful but their full of healthful benefits! If I had a Greenhouse, I would fill it up with green vegetables and beautiful Plants 🪴. God Always Knows What He's Doing! He Created Every Plant We Need!
Thank you for taking pets into account otherwise the engire information would be useless for many people and dangerous to those pets belonging to unaware kwners, so I really appreciate that you are taking lets into account.
My favorite plant is my parlor fern. It’s about 15 years old. It’s stems look like cut dead leaves of a palm tree, and was told they are related to a palm. It’s beautiful and about 5ft tall. It likes to go dry between waterings, and likes to be over watered (with draining). It’s like giving it drought and a rainy season, it then puts out seeds and new stalks.
My Aloe plants DO NOT like direct sunlight. I cannot keep them on ledges in the window sill, they brown, wither and begin to die. They thrive in shade away from direct sunlight. I wanted to add that the plants I have really boost my mood and and add so much BEAUTY to my home!
I love all plants because it relaxing me. I love to work with plants and grow my own garden and I enjoy and it relaxing me. Thank you for sharing and May God bless you ❤️ 🌹
I’ve just started buying house plants. I’ve got three now and I’m already thinking of more. Lol. It’s such a joy to have in your home. I thought and thought about having them for ages and then just the other day BOOM. Got some.
On a certain level, we have plants in our brain, the neurochemicals that show up in flow: so dopamine, norepinephrine, anandamide, endorphins, and serotonin. If you were to try to cocktail the street drug version of that, right, you're trying to blend like heroin and speed and coke and acid and weed- and point is, you can't do it. It turns out the brain can cocktail all of 'em at once, which is why people will prefer flow to almost any experience on Earth. It's our favorite experience. It's the most addictive experience on Earth. Why? 'Cause it cocktails five or six of the largest pleasure drugs the brain can produce. We're all capable of so much more than we know. That is a commonality across the board. And one of the big reasons is we're all hardwired for flow, and flow is a massive amplification of what's possible for ourselves.
As a plant and tree lover, I have magnificent houseplants, ferns, Ivy, and spider plants. I also have a bay window that I installed a plant rack and grow lights to have an indoor garden in cooler weather. Green beans, peas, strawberries grow very easy indoors. Yes, all plants need regular grooming and fertilizer, plus need topped off with fresh soil at least once a year. Yes, plant roots ‘eat’ soil. I collect seeds from my parlor ferns to create fresh plants and give them away as gifts. My heart shaped philodendrons require low light, and I cut vines to start fresh plants, again to give away as gifts. Same with my spider plant, however it puts out so many ‘babies’, I cannot keep them all, and they get thrown away. They absolutely clean the air. When I come home from being out, I notice the fresh air when I walk indoors! To be fair to my cat, I grew her own pot of lemongrass and keep it in a window for her, she loves to lay and much on it. It has a calming effect on her and sometimes I catch her with her head laying in the pot, fast asleep!
Half of the plants shown aren't even the plant being talked about! ZZ plants when talking about ficusm shows a dracaena when talking about snake plants, shows a pothos when talking about english ivy., shows airs plants when talking about aloe vera.
it can be stressful if for some reason it get mites and you do not catch them before its to late. I enjoy growing, harvesting, and now making butter. With the right light and you will be amazed what you can do. it being legit helps as well.
Greetings, So far my favourite plant is in the Spider Plant, I'd love to have that plant, I have a palm of plant that was left to die, now she is thriving with life. 😁🌱🙏🏾🦁
Thank you for sharing plants to clean air, makes the house clean air to breath, good for lungs, good for moods, feel happy in my own place! Pls add more herbs for medicines for illnesses!
These Aloe Vera grow like crazy! Don't fertilize! Give them water that's been standing in the sun a few days to purify it, also. At least, that's all I've been doing.
@@maheway7880 it’s soil in a small indoor decorative pot, never had to change the soil, you just water it once a week, that’s it. I’ve even forgotten to water it so I dump a ton and it drinks it up over weeks
My favorite plant on this list is the white lily you talked about I'm going to go buy one right now I think I'm just going to go by 1 on Friday and I'm going to buy an aloe vera
