I think people’s biggest problem with spider plants is usually browning tips, especially people who really want their collection to look very neat and tidy. They don’t bother me but I did the same thing you did, never really wanted to buy one but took home an orphaned baby and grew it out and I guess doing that made me like it more 😂 No tea no shade but I think a lot of “influencers” might just not know how to keep cacti/succulents happy and growing 😅 they can grow super quickly with enough light and water, but I think people are so afraid of overwatering or burning them that they only give them enough to survive, not enough to really grow noticeably. They can’t stay in tiny pots forever if you want them to grow either, which is another thing I think people forget with them more than other plants for some reason 🤷🏼♀️ I blame the general misinformation around growing them tbh, lol PS I can’t stop myself from calling it a “Fiddly Fig” every time now lmao 💚
You're totally right about the cacti thing! I water mine every other week and keep them right in my West facing windows. You're not wrong about poison Ivy either 😅 Also, it should only be called Fiddly Fig from now on 🤷🏻♀️ its cuter 😋
My hanging spider plant is becoming a beast!!! I never thought it would be one of my favs, however now I’m rearranging plants so she has room to shine!!!💚🌞💚
"Hated" plant should maybe be reserved for poison ivy. I absolutely hate that plant 🤣 I do love my spider plant, I've had mine since 2005. I almost killed it in 2020, but she pulled through and has made a full recovery 💚
I wish I could post a picture of my spider plant in here because she is MAGNIFICENT!!! And I too give babies as gifts. They’re easy to grow here in the south. And they don’t mind being moved indoors. My Bertha is about 4-5 feet long in trailing babes. I even grow spider plants in my yard. ❤
I have one of those brain looking cacti and it was so shocking to see that it grew over the summer. It looks like a big ole tumour on it now but… I completely agree about cacti and succulents I find them so unique and rewarding
I love my spider plants! They are easy and grow into huge focal pieces. I do understand they may be boring to some because they are so common but they have been consistent, long standing commons for good reasons
Perhaps plant influencers have so many plants to take care of, they cant afford the space for a spider plant and theyre so easy theyre not much if a challenge. I had them in the past and avoided acquiring any in my new increase of plants over the last year until a very close friend gave me about 5 tiny babies crom her plant. So theyre rooting in water under my plant lights and will pot them up together. Love cacti and succulents. Thanks for this video, its different and very informative...and as usual great fun hosted by you.
I would like to see what influencers actually can keep healthy and thriving, usually its just what they bought, and I don't think buying things is a talent, call me crazy.
Your Spider Plant is so cute in that little pot! Spider plants are so reliable, you can’t over or under water them, they’ll meet you wherever you’re at! Lol I think your plant is just too crowded in that little pot. Spider plants are prolific growers with vigorous root systems…that many cuttings in one small pot won’t be able to thrive.
I have always loved spider plants. My reverse variegated spider plant is growing and producing quite a few babies. Our apartment maintenance guy recently asked for a spider baby and I gave him one. I’m also growing an all green baby spider plant from seed produced by the momma plant.
Your ppp is beautiful most are not so lucky. Spider plants are beautiful and fun; but quite thirsty. I love succulents; I’m an old planty; I started w succulents because they were easy. So I have several very old and large specimens. Many of my friends used to refer to me as the cactus lady. Yes the ficus family is very temperamental; knock on wood. I may have figured out the fiddle leaf fig. I have two I’ve have for about a year……. Nice video
Interesting subject. I don’t have a lot of cacti/succulents but the ones I have make me smile. 🥰. I had to up pot about five a few weeks ago and so far so good. Three had pushed out multiple babies and I was so happy to see them. Every Spring I say I’m getting another Spider plant but so far I have not. If I find a healthy one in a 6 in pot I’ll get it for sure. I have too many large full pots as it is. 😆. Many thanks for this fun video. I enjoyed reading all the viewers comments as well! 👌🪴🥰
I’ve been a plant person over 40 years and until recently started seeing croutons being sold as a houseplant to me they are more of a shrub I also don’t care for fiddleleaf figs to me they are a tree lol and even if I liked them I don’t have space for them I had a question I saw behind you you have a donkey tail plant I wanted to know are they a hard plant ? I just got one at my local nursery thank you for sharing
That’s interesting that you say that, Barbara. I’m in the deep south and I was given a croton in 1985. I thought it was a houseplant and treated it as such for years until I forgot it outside one day sunning and there was a frost…… I bought two this year as well as a miniature one. I thought I’d give them another try since I haven’t had one in years. I just love hearing about everyone’s different experiences with plants .❤
I've never had any problems with my Fiddle leaf fig. It was one of the first plants I bought and I've moved it a couple times. It is probably one of the easiest plants I own 🤣. A key might be buying it more mature though. Mine was like 3 foot when I bought it and now it is about 6 foot.
Have you ever seen that clip of Demi Lovato answering the question, 'what's your favorite dish?' by saying, 'probably mugs? I love a good mug' 🤣👏💀 10/10 recommend
My spider plant came in an 8 in basket. It got so big that the roots warped the plastic pot and pushed out of the pot. So I put it in a 12 inch floor pot where it again pushed out rather than grew its roots down. Now she’s in a 20 inch floor pot with some of her babies planted really deep and growing and putting out pups.
I like Spider plants, but they don't like me! I have some succulents and cacti, and disagree with this pick. I grew up in San Diego, CA and we had several Bird of Paradise outside. I don't want one in my house they grow to be too big, and they are toxic to cats. If I had a garden, I would have some. Also I don't know if they would grow outside in western WA. I completely disagree with ferns! Some are hard to care for, but a lot are easy for me. For example: Staghorn, Blue Star, Crocodile, Kangaroo Paw, Tiger, and Bird's nest. I own all of the above and all are thriving and beautiful. Especially my huge Kangaroo Paw fern! I do agree with their putting croton on the list.
I have a Bird of Paradise it was in my bedroom, she was getting so big I had to move her outside. She now lives in my atrium and is loving her best life.💚
I wouldn't say I "hate" any plants, I just say they aren't ones I will purchase for myself... The ones mentioned I wouldn't buy for myself.... Plant love 🪴🌵🌿🍁🍂
I think people think of a spider plant as the most basic of plants and as a mothers plant,you mom or grandmother grew the largest one possible.I like spider plants -mine is about 4 ft. long with many grandbabies.
There's a Mandarin spider plant that is a pretty difference from the regular ones. My only grievance with cacti are the thorns but I love everything else. The pink princess is one I'd rather admire from a far. I bought a pink croton lost 3 leaves and gave it away.
I’ve not tried keeping ficus indoors long term but my 3 FLF’s and 3 Ficus elastica Ruby had to be moved inside the shed for a few days while the hurricane passed us and none dropped leaves or gave me fuss putting them back out 🤞 Maybe I’m just blessed but I swear these clearance rack plants from a local Florida lowes are built different lol Never give me any trouble!
Elastica is far more forgiving than any other Ficus!! I think the maturity of the plant makes a difference too!! Next time maybe I just need a massive FLF 😅
I absolutely hate/strongly dislike PPP's. Their inconsistent muddy variegation and spindly unattractive growth habit...ick. I'm always shocked by how trendy they've been
I didn't get it either until I found a nice pink one. Haha! But you're not wrong, they grow dumb, the leaves always get stuck, and the muddy color is not cute!
I have most of it except PPP. They are all better for outdoors. So I have them in my yard. We rarely get temp below 40s so even they suffer a bit during winter. They come back when the weather warms up😁
I never saw what people saw in the ppp but then I saw one in person & I thought wow! So last year it popped up that there was some not so perfect ppp online for a discounted price (note I never notice emails & when it popped up I jumped) a couple leaves were “damaged” but I chopped it. I gave one away & made a couple & planted the 3 together so we will see how it goes but I have a 1/2 moon that is just beautiful
I have a love hate relationship with PPP. It’s growing fast, but the leaves grow so small right now. I’m hoping they will eventually size up. Waiting patiently.
I really like bromeliads, but influencers don't really notice them. I have one that grows similar to a spider plant, but much larger/more dramatic, fosterella spectabilis. As a bonus it was originally collected in Bolivia in the same place that Che Guevara was captured.
Oh Jaclynn that mug is just the cutest and I love handmade things like that, my daughter when she was in college she made a lot of pottery for me and herself, I have mugs she made and pots and cute pottery with lids that I put things in. I have a Bonnie curly spider plant that I really love and she is actually doing really good. I was at Costco with my friends today and I saw a Philodendron Pink Princess, at least that was what the tag said, but there was no pink on any of the leaves so I don't know if it really was one, or they mislabeled it, but the price was only 19.99 in a 6 inch pot. I didn't have the money to get it so I might go back next week and see if it is still there and just buy it and see if it really is a Pink Princess. I had 3 Croton and they all died, they were doing great then something happened and they just lost leaves and died. I totally agree with having the right environment for your plants, some do good and some don't. Thanks again for another great video, I agree on some of the plants that are great and some that are not fun at all. I do have the buy three rule, I will buy a plant up to three times and not a fourth time if I haven't figured out how to take care of it it will be a plant I won't ever buy again. I hope that the rest of your weekend is great, say hi to David, love you both, sending lots of hugs, bye!! 😂😉🥰🤗😻💜💞💚
I don’t hate any tropical plants, I just like others more lol Your PPP is amazing 🥰 for a long time I wasn’t impressed by the PPP but now want one an can not find a decent one. Most ppl selling reverted, very low color. Ughhh💚
I would like to try a fiddle some day but only if it was a great price so I wouldn’t care if it dies….also I think I’m like at capacity rn my husband said he’s crowded no room to put anything so I have to start reorganizing and giving more away. Constant rotation and struggle
I dont exactly hate any plants but do agree on the fiddle leaf fig and crotons. I agree with people saying they like spider plants i have a regular green and an inner variegated spider plants. i had to move them into my bathroom however because my cat chews the regular green variety. Any suggestions on how to keep leaf tips from browning?
Spider plants are hallucinogenic to cats lol Your cat just wants to 🥳 🤣 As to the leaf tips, try switching your water to distilled or RO, rain water, etc. They tend to be sensitive to the salts and minerals, in my experience. Also not letting it get or stay too dry for too long
Your spider plant might be root bound. Mine has had crazy fast-growing roots Most of these complaints make sense, fussy plants, hype backlash, too basic, slow growing. I agree with the fussy ones, but deciding on a plant based on its popularity is silly
I can only agree with the PPP and croton. Never had a PPP, still don't get the hype. It is not fantastic in my book. Croton! 👹😈 Bane of my plant existence!!! Was in a west facing window, dropped leaves like it was it's job. Rehomed it -- faded for her too.
I hate tradescantia nanouk, all kinds of alocasia (rip) , most maranthaceae...most of all I HATE dieffenbachia But looooove my desert cati, my aroids,my Hoyas and the wonderful, easy staghorn fern 🍀
