Unique Houseplants for any collection || Favorite plants July 2024
I live in a 2 bedroom apartment in New York City filled with over 100 plants that i share with my husband and 2 kids. I got really into houseplants 4 years ago and have been amazed at how the greenery has transformed my apartment into the ultimate urban oasis. I have a particular love for tropical plants; specifically Aroids, and Anthuriums make up a huge part of my collection. I love sharing how common, uncommon and rare plants can add character, beauty and living art to indoor spaces.
Summer is in full swing here in New York City. Time for me to share my current favorite plants in the apartment! There are a mix of monstera, ficus, anthurium, philodendron, even a succulent makes an appearance!

Chopping my GIANT Monstera in half!

I’ve been growing this gigantic Monstera Deliciosa in my New York City apartment for 4 years now. It has finally outgrown the space and taken over the entire living room so the time has come to cut it up and propagate it! I chopped my massive monstera deliciosa plant in half #plants #houseplants #cozy #monstera #propagation

Right before my business trip to San Diego, I spent a little time getting my plants ready to be without me for a week! I had some plant mail come in so I unboxed it and got those new plants watered and ready to be left for a week. After returning from San Diego, let’s check in and see how the plants and the apartment fared without me! #plants #home #nyc #nycliving #cozy

I got my pastazanum in palmstreet. It is doing good but I repotted it and is having difficult to pick up. I have about 3 Gloriosum, Love them. One McDowell that is growing like crazy. Love it too. I have 3 Summer Glory that are doing great too. All of them are crawlers and they grow like crazy. Love the jungle vibe in my home.
Hi. What nutrients are u adding please?
I use Dyna-Gro Foliage Pro and from time to time I add some extra Cal-Mag. I also use Mychorrizae.
hoya is the only plant beside pathos that has survived in my home
Hello! New subscriber here 🎊 This is not plant related but, what’s the color on your wall? Is it green/greyish? I’m a little bit color blind but I really like that color. I’m about to start painting my apartment and I’m looking for a color which could mix well with white walls. I also have a big collection of plants. Yours is gorgeous! So is your home as well :) Thank you for the video!
Good morning. I am new to your channel. Your plants are gorgeous. I love your presentation. The information you share is very helpful. I just ordered the ficus. It is very unique. Thanks for sharing.
😮❤😆
Thanks so much! Checking now 🔦
23:30 light and water. And 💯 🕷. Proactively
New sub 🎉 Enjoyed entire video! 🎁🪴
Thank you, I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Such a beautiful monster-a. Mine has been growing straight up but very few leaves. 😢
What kind of conditions is it growing in? It might need more light.
Love your plants!! They are all so beautiful! 🇦🇺 ❤
Thank you!!!
Just found your channel. Love your plants
Thank you!!!💚
Very nice collection! I love plants and have been growing more years than I care to admit to! 😊
Thank you!!!💚
@wildfern brought me here.
She is the best, thank you for being here!
The obovata is one of my absolute favorites too! Great video. Thank you!💚
Such a good plant isn’t it?! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Monef, we have some of the same favorites. I love your collection 😊
Oh my goodness how exciting! Which ones are you obsessed with?
@@Monefsjungle definitely Anthurium, and your Obovata is absolutely stunning. I can't get enough of Anthurium 😊
Beautiful specimens. Where did you get the clear pots for your anthurium?
I get them from a seller on Etsy, I’ll dig out the link
@@Monefsjungle I would really appreciate it, thank you. Looking forward to more of your content ❤️
Wow, so beautiful 👍new friend 😊
Thank you so much!!!
Beautiful plants.👍👍
Thank you!
I loooove this
Thank you!!!
Ok….I’m obsessed! A friend referred your channel to me and I’m ab to binge 🫶🏻
Huge thank you to your friend, I’m so glad you are here, enjoy!
Do you use the fiber with the sticks or the fiber that looks more like cocopeat?
I use the fiber withe the sticks although there are some quite fine particles towards the bottom of the bag that look a little like coco peat.
Phenomenal plants & phenomenal video as always!! Have an awesome vacation 🫶🌿
Thank you, I’m in Belfast right now and it is an absolute vibe, highly recommend it!
@@Monefsjungle oh stunnnning! I’d love to visit there one day!
@@Monefsjungleworth the flight length?
Yup, it was amazing. Don’t stop at Belfast though, get outside the city take a drive up the Antrim Coast, truly spectacular!
I love your plants they are so beautiful. I envy how organized they are in your apartment. I seriously need your help. I have to watch and learn because mine take over. 😂
Thank you!!! It’s a real mission to keep them from taking over, a constant work in progress to be honest!
Pure excellence and style per normal! I LOVE seeing a new video from you. Hands down, one of my very favorite CZcamsrs EVER! Class, style, beauty (you and plants)! Enjoying watching your channel and collection grow!🙏💕
This comment made my whole entire day, thank you so so much, what amazing compliments 🥰🥰🥰.
the waroc esmeralda omg
💚💚💚
H O A R D I N G, call the shrink and get tratment before it's too late
Will do!
That luxurians 😍😍
It’s truly elite
That was waaay too fast, I couldn’t ready any of it 😢
I’ll make another more detailed video, sorry!
Love your baby Doc Block you grew from a seedling! It’s encouraging for me as I am also growing Anthurium hybrids too.
Oh wow, what anthurium are you growing at the moment? Are you using any medium in particular? Anthuriums are such fun to grow from seed, you’re making me want to do it again!
@@Monefsjungle you’ll love this one especially it’s a Forgettii Anthurium Forgetii Dark Form x Forgetii Dark & Bullate Seedling Anthurium Ace of Spades DF x Crystal DF f2 Seedling I have a future video showing them. The AOS x Crystal is growing fast!
I’m using 💯 tree fern right now and I have them in a dome container from Amazon.
Girl, you and me are the same on bugs! No way would I buy bugs to kill bugs YUCKO! I posted today on my fear of a spider mite possibility. Luckily, it was a normal spider. 😂
Hahahaha, spidermite vs spider fear is so real 😂😂😂. Is it on CZcams? Lemme go check it out.
@@Monefsjungle it is! I seriously freaked out when I saw that creepy web.
I got my cutting in a few weeks ago and I have let it root in water. Do I tack it up to make it climb? I have always seen them trail
Yup when it has roots at least a two to three invested and it starts putting out secondary roots, you can pot it up and tack it to the moss pole. Good luck!
Yes!!! I get so excited when you upload!!!! You are on a roll❤
Thank you, I’m so glad you are enjoying it.
Hey Effie. Love your videos, so much helpful info an your plants are stunning! 🤩 Your Waro x Esmer gives me hope, I can do it! lol I love the baby Anthiriums too, so much fun to see them change an grow. Your Zara Michelle has s everything 🥳🙌🏼 Have a great vaca 🫶🏼💚
You can definitely do it!!! It does take some time for them to stop acting up and settle in but once they do, it’s smooth sailing all the way!
Your plants are absolutely gorgeous, Monef! I just love when I see that you have posted a video. I have to immediately stop what I’m doing to watch. Ty for sharing and enjoy your trip. ♥️
Thank you so so much, what a fantastic compliment I’m so glad you are enjoying the videos as much as I love making them!
Your plants are gorgeous ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much💚💚💚
Girl, that Frydek! I k1ll3d mined off sadly. I could never get it to be happy. Leaf cycling and spider mites eventually took it out. What a dream to have such a beautiful one. I had her in Pon. I don’t know girl, I haven’t mastered Alo’s. I’ll have to try your alo mix. I use a very similar mix for spider mites as you. I often rotate sprays out as they become tolerant. But dang those little critters are relentless. My mix is peppermint and tea tree Castille equal parts. Alcohol. And water. I also have been but use it on its own. 🤷♀️ Your Zara Michelle is magic. My goodness. She would be a favorite for me too! I have a Zara. I have a Michelle. But not the hybrid. Yes someone please help us out! I need one! Mine are babies so it would take a while to breed mine. Even her roots are magic! Your ficus is gorgeous. I’ve got a massive Lyrata and what I’ve learned about ficus is definitely they want light. I think that’s why people seem to struggle with them. More light! I’m surprised to hear it’s a spider mite magnet! Are the leaves thin or thick? Curious! It’s so charming! Chefs kiss on the Lux. Mine is a wee baby and I am obsessed. I wish it kept the silver leaves but that texture is truly epic. While I’m excited to watch it grow she’s one I’m enjoying small. So gorgeous. Why do you reduce the amount of tree fern as the plant gets larger? I just recently started using tree fern. Is it because it holds too much moisture? Can’t wait to see what your little hybrids become! What a cool cross! Those loves on your king 😊 I love how the leaves come out but why do they insist on changing directions and going all wonky? 😂 Your donkey tail is literally goals! I can’t get mine to drape without it dropping leaves lol. I look at it sideways and plop. Lost a leaf lol. I should move it inside to a window because even the breeze causes the leaves to drop. I now need that queen. My goodness. Nothing beats a good monstera. I can’t wait to show mine in the next HPT. It looks amazing. Mine lives outside but I take cuttings from her pretty often. I like to put them in glass pitchers with moss until it roots then give them away. They look so gorgeous as a centerpiece while rooting! I need to get obovata. I know this is a long winded comment but I adore you and your channel so much. If you read all that 💚 💚💚 happy growing friend!
Oh my gosh the Frydek and her spidermites are just too much!!! It’s exhausting, good thing she is so pretty😏 Wow, I’d love to see your Zara and your Michelle. About to watch your plant tour so I guess I’ll see them soon! The Umbellata has very thin leaves thinner than lyrata for sure hence the water uptake. Spider mites on that one surprised me too. They don’t seem to do much damage to it though, so that’s comforting.
I wish I could grow outside, I’d love to throw my monstera out and see what it does. I love your channel too, it’s fabulous!
@@Monefsjungle mine are just wee babies. I got them not too long ago (my Zara and Michelle) they gave me a bit of a run for my money. But I think we are on the upswing now. They are in my houseplant tour part 1 video. The spider mites are exhausting. Relentless. However I’ll take them over mealies and thrips lol. Monstera love’s outside but she’s about to get a chop because she’s outgrowing her outdoor space lol. I’ll be showing her in the next one. 💚
Hey! Hope that you and your plants are surviving this humid summer!!!! Can't wait to watch the new video😊. You're not helping my addiction at all. Thanks to you, I went to The Green Escape and got some starter plants 😢. If you must know, I got the ficus umbellata and anthurium luxurians. Over the years, I always acquired plants that were fully developed and ready to go. I never considered buying them as pups and watching them flourish over time. Thank you for a new perspective with that. Your beautiful anthurium collection has now peaked my interest with that genus. Can't wait to see them grow.
Oh my gosh, thank you, I’m so glad you are enjoying the videos. Anthuriums really suck you in don’t they?! Looking forward to hearing how you are finding growing your pups from the Green Escape. I love browsing all Your offerings and seeing what else I can grow big, such a great way to enhance a collection.
Yasssss let’s go! Favorites are also my favorite. 💚 I’ve never seen NYC but I tell you what, your home makes a lovely impression!
Thank you so much, what a lovely compliment! If you ever decide to visit NYC, come through!
@@Monefsjungle yes girl I would totally hit you up!! I must see the city. It’s on the bucket list!
I love your plants. I'm just starting off in anthurium. Love the luxurians and crystallinum. I've seen your mara cross on palmstreet ecuagenera. Loved the video
Me too. The anthuriums are beautiful!
Thank you 🥹
Anthuriums are so addictive hahaha, I keep washing in deeper and deeper with them. Thank you, I’m glad you are enjoying my videos, you will love anthuriums. I need yo check palmstreet out, I keep meaning to but haven’t yet!
Another banger Monef! You have been a constant source of inspo for me.
Thank you so much!!!!!
I just got a small pint size pot. So excited to see it grow.
It will take off in no time!
Tjis is BEAUTIFUL!!
Thank you so much
Love your tree. Pls share more
Thank you, I will!!
Beautiful 😍
Thank you🥹
I have a heard enough time ever leaving my house and now it’s really hard with all my plants! Have a safe trip and hope your plants do well while you’re gone. You and I are a lot alike I am obsessed with the long strapping leafs. I want the Wenlingeri and the Patricieia <sp> I have no idea how to spell them.
It’s so so hard isn’t it? I honestly really struggle with leaving them behind and then I think of them constantly while I’m away😂😂😂. Hopefully they will be okay. Strap leaf anthuriums have my whole heart, can’t wait to check some of yours out!!!!
@@Monefsjungle thinking of putting a short up today of my new leaf on my queen. 🥰
💚💚💚
🧡🧡
You soil looks so dense and heavy like it has no drainage.
This particular ficus grows in bogs and swampy soil in West Africa. It needs ridiculous levels of moisture to thrive. This soil mix is the easiest way to do that. I tailor my mixes to the individual plant needs.
More detail on the self watering pot plz. Thank you. 😊 I have the same plant
Sure, no problem. I’ll dog out a link to it and post some more details.
@@Monefsjungle thank u
Lawd I thought it said Alopecia. 😂 I was wondering if it meant it was shedding leaves or something.
Hahahahahahahahah, i literally spat out my coffee laughing.
