I agree wholeheartedly about the monstera deliciosa being a beginner plant and a master growers plant. I've had one for 4 years now, and three of those years I wasn't really educated as to how to take care of houseplants, so it went through lots of neglect. Now im completely obsessed, and since I've been taking care of it better and understanding how it grows and what care it needs, each leaf becomes bigger and more fenestrated and I think its just an amazing and beautiful plant!
thats exactly what im talking about, I really need to fix mine up so it will start doing that again, i love seeing each new leaf with more and more fenestrations!
If you get a good system going, you could literally fill your entire house with different pothos by propagation. And when you get good at it, you'll know which individual vines to propagate if you want to start your own little variations. Like he mentioned, put a big plank in there for them when they're young and they will reward you with fast growth and massive leaves. Pothos are the most fun plant you can have!
love the passion for plants this fella has, a friend got me started with a spider plant after I said I can't be trusted with anything lol and then I got into that found his video on spider plants and bang I'm away. I know have so many plants I don't have the room for them at all, even my bedroom has an indoor greenhouse with grow lights :|
Awesome! Yeah many times all it takes it success with one plant to give you the courage to collect more. Happy to hear you are doing well with your collection!
@@IthinkIneedAhug cats will chew anything that resembles grass which makes them vomit up hair balls. So any plant with blade like leaves like spider plants or palms will attract them.
100% agree with the Monstera!!! I did catch myself thinking that it's so common, everybody has it, it's not special anymore, it's a "beginner plant" and therefore not cool anymore. But those thoughts are bullsh0t :D The Monstera Deliciosa is absolutely awesome and there's a reason why it became so popular. It simply looks amazing and it's so so exciting to watch a new leaf grow. It's one of the most FUN plants that I ever owned. I love her!
I think jade should be added to this list. Jade can be sitting in water or bone dry and thrive. It doesn’t care. Sit it near a window or bright light. So rewarding
Hey! You just identified my plant for me, thank you very much! I have that Raphidophora tetrasperma tissue culture mutation, never knew what the heck it was, have always really liked it, and it almost died in my care before I figured out it likes pon and a reservoir to drink from. I'm so glad to know, appreciate you!
I agree on all your picks. Wanted to add that the spider plant has a variant called “Bonnie” with curly leaves, and IMO it looks even nicer! I have 3 of them and will soon be propagating and gifting. 💚
You can try keiki paste on the leafless nodes!! I collect pothos/trailing philos and grow them on poles and trail them! But I also collect those fancy variegated planted. I collect what I like and sometimes it hurts my pocket 🥲
You and me both! I just bought a 5x5 grow tent I'm going to turn into a giant terrarium and just let things go crazy in there probably take like 3 months to do it but it's ginna be sick once it all fills in over the course of a year
I’ve been watching each upload and this one is great because these are literally my plants 😂 Also I’m just going to say that I’m ready for a new background music track 🙈🙈🙈
yeah the hajikuji dance is also risky because its unclaimed and if its every claimed half my channel would get wiped. Ill make some music with these little synths i bought
I so agree with you on Pothos plant. I absolutely LOVE them. I had no idea you could grow them up a piece of wood. I've had plants and propagated, but now I'm really getting into learning more. Question: What is this with growing up a piece of wood? Why and how? Thanks if you have time to answer my question. I'm new to your channel. You have great info Thanks!!!
I love all of those plants although I don’t have a raphidiphora tetrasperma yet. One of my goals this year is to size up some plants on poles or planks. I saw a pearls and jade, or was it N’Joy, on Lecca Queens channel and it was so beautiful. So far I have an adonsonii on a moss pole and am about to put some Hawaiian pothos cuttings on a pole. Your giant pothos is amazing! Thanks for doing this video.
Awesome video and i couldn't agree more i remember seeing my nana and her having Pothos and spider plants in the house and showing me just put them in water and they will take off and they where my first plants and even now i have a few in my collection deff recommend all the planta on this list to new people for sure !
Spider plants bore me... but the Bonnie versions are cool AF. I have a small one in my bathroom, hanging in the window, and it's given me 3 or 4 babies since I got it. But it's hard to tell because it's so compact and curly!
I'd like to add Rabbit Foot fern on to your list. My house is sitting at low to mid 30s for humidity (I'm in the Great Lakes region and the furnace burns off all the moisture) and it doesn't show any signs of stress.
Why did all my healthy spider plant shoots die when I pot them up? 😭 I thought I had a low light room, but very few things survive.😔 I bought a small Pothos and kept it in its soil sample, then planted it. It immediately drooped, the leaves had burns and one died.😱 I put it in water only, like another one I have and now it is happy again! The soil was not over damp or too dry.Was this lack of air? I have avocado seeds in water, two just starting to sprout a shoot and little roots developing. I'm going to keep them in water, to see if they will develop into a plant without soil. My last year avocado that has survived😁 and grown, only likes the frosted kitchen window, even though I am in chilly England. My new little peace lily likes it there too. Another older one only likes the frosted glass bathroom window. I've just enjoyed watching your Fairchild Botanical tour. A fun and informative channel.
I live in a condo not very bright. What kind of plant light can I buy? What should I look for on a lamp for my plants? I have potions, money tree, palm, monstera and a couple others I’m not sure what they are called. Thank you! Live your videos!
I saw the big difference between plants climbing a moss pole or a plank and those trailing or just wound around the pole. My question is, did you try planks of different types of wood? Which wood you find the most suitable?
Nice!! My fav is Monstera too! They are just so amazing and low maintenance. Maranta, Calathea, Hoya, are also almost zero effort plants, hard to kill too. Beginners can give them a try. 😊😊
@@TechplantChannel Some Calathea are drama queens and divas, but some varieties are rather easier and less fuzzy, such as C. sanderiana, C. makoyana, basically they are in my 'ignored corner' and got watered whenever I remember, but still growing well. The worst might be C. 'White Fusion', which I have killed 5 of them in a row and eventually give up.
@@ArnoldQMudskipper spider mites, yes... maybe not so much of a big deal for me because I also have roses... I just spray neem oil every time I spray my roses. But you're right, the labour is real....
Some ember tetras I have this whole plan to add a lot of aquarium content just gotta get my water system figured out so water changes don't take hours of walking buckets back and forth
Haha, I guess being old I have been around all of these, and not that excited about any of them. I have a huge trailing mutant R. tetrasperma, if anyone wants it, lol. Scindapsus pictus "jade satin" is one of my favorite easy plants, like ridiculously easy. Siderasis fuscata is really easy, it doesn't photograph well, I got mine from Ecuagenera and it's got smaller, rounder leaves. A couple staghorn ferns are super easy, the basic "Netherlands" one and "French silver", never remember the taxonomy. I'm always pushing bromeliads too, a couple of my favorite easy ones are Aechmea tayonesis and Guzmania musiaca. All bromeliads are not the same.
Spider plants are weeds where I live. I can go grab a pup from many front yards just down the street, but I'm good. Not a fan. There is a huge hype around so-called rare syngonium. I see some cultivars sold for triple digits on Instagram auctions on a regular basis. They are very popular plants. Also, I thought we had given the whole RT tissue culture "mutation" a rest. Everyone knows that they are just juvenile specimens of the same plants that once they mature (under the right conditions) take the same morphology as the ones grown from cuttings of mature plants. Oh yeah, and all those Epipremnum aureum cultivars have been around for decades. There are about twenty cultivars that come and go depending on popularity. (We really need to stop calling them pothos. That's a completely different genus.) Not trying to be pompous with my comment. Just want to get the right kind of information out there.
Yeah I feel you. With thr syngoniums tho I can hardly tell the diff between some expensive ones vs cheaper similar ones lol. What are the right conditions for maturing RT I'd love to see if I can get it to do that
@@TechplantChannel I planted one at the base of a tree in my yard. So far the new growth is double the size of what I was getting growing it in my house. Once the aerial roots really get a hold of a structure, they will climb and mature.
I love my monsteras! The mini monsteras are great too. If you live in a warmer climate and let them grow outside, they grow super fast and tall. I'm jealous of the mutant one you have. I can't keep spider plant babies alive to save my life, lol. I have lots of different pothos varieties and they are all so beautiful and such an easy plant to grow. I have a bunch in just water and a lot in soil. I definitely appreciate the fact that you use golden pothos as a tester plant since they are the fastest growing out there to see the difference in the experiments you do. Are you going to do a plant wall like you saw at the nursery? The monsteras and pothos would make a great wall!
My first pokemon back when pokemon red first came out on gameboy, and my first pokemon card was a Bulbasaur. Now I'm a plant collector and propagator. 😅
