Rediscovering My Love For Common Houseplants | 5 Favorite Indoor Plants
Vložit
- čas přidán 30. 07. 2024
- I admittedly have fallen out of love with a few of the common and classic houseplants, yes I caught the rare or collector type of houseplants this past year. But when I was souring out plants for the shop, I knew I wanted to have a wide range and variety of houseplants that will cater to many different people and all different levels of plant journey. Because of this I began to discover new common plants that I've never owned before that I'm really feeling like Aglaonemas, and interacting with customers who loves these types of plants or those who's just starting out their plant journey made me fall back in love with common houseplants that many of us in the plant community have forgotten.
I hope this video makes you fall back in love with them as well, or at the very least give these common, but classic houseplants a try.

Just love your videos Christian ! I watch many you tuber but you are one of my favourites for sure. Your videos are funny but full of info and some great plant tips for us all. You work hard at everything you do and the quality shines through always. Best wishes and thank you 👍🏼🥰🌿
Awww. Thank you so much Sally ☺️, I’ve been enjoying this plant journey and sharing through my videos because of all of you , you’re all the best crazy plant lovers out there, truly appreciate the love and support ☺️♥️
Pothos are underrated, I think. I love mine and I remember my grandmother having a few so it also brings back that connection.
I'm trying to get them all *sigh* plus vining philos and scindapsus, so they are still beloved by some folks!
@@ttidwell4412 I just ordered a Manjula.
I was just about to write about Pothos. Honestly, they’re the best: fast growing, lush and unpretentious. They freaky transform a space and clean the air. And even more so, the plain old Golden Pothos is just a trooper. Neon Pothos coming in close as well
Me too.
The joy I got when you said “you are going to hear a lot of tadas because it will be a classic crazy plant guy video” is immeasurable.
I’m guilty of not giving certain common houseplants a chance or for forgetting about them, but since I started the shop I’m falling and rediscovering my love for them again, they’re taking me back to my early plant journey years when I’d get super excited about them and the joy they bring me. 😁 What other common plants do you think I should have at home and at the shop?!
I am so in love with Aglaonemas! I only have 5 different varieties, but my dream Aglaonema is the Pictum Tricolor. I could stare at it for lengths of time. I go on Etsy everyday just to admire it. Unfortunately its out of my budget range. Would love to see that in your shop and live vicariously through you. 😊
Hi Christian, I remember you saying you don't much care for Fiddle Leaf Figs but I think they are lovely. I wish you happiness and prosperity with your shop. All the best, you're great at what you do. Thank you. 😊
I’m with Purple Yarnavore lol There are so many beautiful colored Aglos. There so easy too grow an propagate . 😀💚
I think Homalomena Emerald Gem, is very under rated. It’s such an inexpensive easy going house plant, but oh so beautiful.
@@volcanolehua Mine is giving me so many problems. Leaves shriveling up and dying daily... still beautiful but I can't get it bushy because leaves keep dying
I have a marble queen and two snow queens; I can’t get enough. Such striking, intense variegation, wants for nothing and so budget friendly. Can’t be beat!
I want a snow queen!!!
I love my 5ft ZZ plant. Yes, I have many of the "rare" plants which I tend to collect just because they're popular but my ZZ plant has real importance to me. 🌻
My original aglaonema Maria is over 40 years old. I recently chopped & propped it to shorten up the plant. I have many common plants & love them all.
Wow that's awesome.
That’s amazing. Love hearing about plants that ha so much history ☺️
How amazing is it to have a plant that is 40 years old! Congratulations!🎊
You are right, the plants we first started with special too. I started many, many years ago and am going back to my first loves😊
That flirt game on point. Plant Casanova 😂👍😂
😅
Love the intros…came to the comments expecting an unzip or rash joke. Thankfully a more refined community here. 👍 My favorite common house plant this year is tradescantia (in UK climate).
@@lyndacollett6657 I think mine is my Ficus Burgundy and my Crocodile Fern. I’m in the States, near Philadelphia. Cheers 🍻
I am so in love with my burgundy ficus, I celebrate every new leaf like a total dork. I love all of my plants and my kids laugh at how excited I get as they grow. I'm all about the simple joy of my common plants.
It's sooo lovely to hear you talk about how you helped someone get their first plant - and the magic of people (and yourself) falling in love with plants. Great video and great to see you open a bricks and mortar shop that connects people through plants. Brilliant work.
I just “discovered” jade pothos. I’ve been on the hunt for new variegation types but fell in love with the plain green one. Plan to have it grow up a cedar board. I’m excited for your new shop and wish you the best success!
I purchased a huge hanging basket of jade from a local nursery a few months ago! I had never given it a second look before, but for some reason it caught my eye. It has nearly tripled in size already and is sitting above my kitchen cabinets. I noticed last week that it’s starting to attach its vines to the wall! So, so excited. I hope you enjoy yours!!
I have had a jade for 5 years. It kept dieing back and I almost lost it. I started watching plant videos and now it is about the size when I bought it. So I'm so glad because the green heart or arrow tip leaves are so beautiful.
Yes!! I'm collecting pothos as well and finally got a jade and I do love it so much. I've had heartleaf philo for a long time and it's wonderful to see them together. I plan to prop a pot of that so I can look at it.
PS Still looking for cheap jessenia :)
me too!!! I love my jade pothos...so simple but so impactful!!
I didn't know I needed a jade in my life until my marble queen gave me jade shoots that I'm now propagating in water. I'm feeling the love for this accident and can't wait to enjoy it grow.
Aglaonema I think is very underrated. The varieties are amazing!
I want that damn cutlass now!
I think the arabica coffee plant is SO gorgeous and widely available for reasonable prices, and yet I never see people hyping them. The leaves are stunningly green and glossy, the new foliage comes in bright and then deepens. The only downside I have on them is the mealy bug situation can be a thing.
Agreed!! I have a baby coffea arabica and it's honestly my favourite plant I own! The foliage is gorgeous and if you grow them long enough, you might actually get them to grow coffee berries and you can make your own coffee!! Such a wonderful plant!
I think dracaenas are super underrated. I got my marginata at ikea about 8 years ago. It was a tiny thing and now it’s over 6’ tall with three heads and very long and beautiful leaves
I love the intro! 😂
I love the pothos. I just bought my latest one yesterday. Pothos n joy and at a very good price at metro $14.99. I was very happy 😊.
I'm trying to get them all too! I need Jessenia for not an absurd price, lol! I'm also willing to wait, too, and that's part of the fun. :)
Love all your choices!👌🏽 My top 5 right now that are in our home: lemon lime philodendron, the Monstera deliciosa, stromanthe triostar, our snake plant ( trifascista), fiddle leaf fig and black cardinal philodendron. Oops thats 6 but they all are so gorgeous and hardy, I am so thankful for all our plants.🥰 I can relate to your enthusiasm!🙋🏻♀️
Spider plants are definitely under rated, they add such a natural touch to whichever room you put it in.
P.s. I loved visiting your store on Tues! It looked so beautiful, keep it up!
Gergoeus plants 🌴🌱🪴😻 neon pothos is always fun💛💛💛 a splash of yellow throughout the greens is so pretty
Love watching your experience with starting a business. I remember when u 1st started your CZcams channel & u wasn't sure what the theme was but you clearly found yiur path!
Thank you. It’s been an incredible journey and experience, definitely feel like I found my calling. ☺️
I love Aglaonemas! I have a cutlass and a “Chinese Evergreen.” I also have another types with pink. I also love ponytail plants. They are so beautiful!
Top 5 common:
- scindapsus Pictish Exotica
- calathea makoyana
- syngonium confetti
- blue star fern
- peace lily domino
♥️🪴🤗
I absolutely love syngonium confetti!
Yes I love my blue star fern!
I just got the Black Coral Snake plant. I divided it so my daughter-in-law & I both have one.
Best way to share plants 🪴♥️
i love the classic pothos, philos and scindapsus. their growth is so rewarding & they're mostly inexpensive 😍
q
Me too, me too!!
So happy for you and your new journey!! I started my shop back in April and I love sharing the excitment of getting a new or even first plant with my customers as well! It brings me so much joy when they send me photos weeks or months later to show me how well it's doing, a new bloom or leaf.
Snake plants for sure are at the top of my common plants list! Followed by marantas, any full vining pothos or philo, syngonium and good ol' scindapsus exotica
Wow Christian even though I am a fan from afar (San Diego) and I hope to support your shop in the future, I am so proud of you!!! Thank you for your inspiration & sharing all of your knowledge with us. Ficus is one of my all time favs- top 3 for sure 😁
Always love your videos. These classic plants are the best and so rewarding! 👏🌿🥰💚
Loved this video! I have a lot of rare plants, but I get the most joy from my aglaonemas, snake plants, pothos, ficus, deliciosa and jade. They are all so easy and look just as pretty as the more rare ones! Congrats on your store, wishing you much success💚
Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing plants collection lovely
I love seeing your vids in your new space...it must feel sooo good!! I love the common plants, thanks for the video!!
I love all of my rubber plants! from the elastica, to variegated, to its tree form! Oh can never forget my first true love, pothos!!
I commented about your hair the other day. I just realized it was because you always wear a hat. Ha!!
I am obsessed with the SOH. But just moved to a bigger place and now really able to see plants individually and not just a mass of green.I am also currently intrigued by the orchid cactus!
Thank you for that video!!! I am in love with some common plants and I can't hide it.... Aglaonemas plants🙏🏼 Evergreen is my favoriteeeee🥰🥰
Snake plants are big yes for minimalist and structural designs. Love them a lot!!
Beautiful sharing❤
Great video Christian, I love my Balfour Aralia right now she is about 2 feet tall, I got her as a cutting I rooted, so it's taken her at least 3 years to grow from 4 " to 2 feet. Glad your shop is doing well.🎉
Love all your plants. You are a true plant parent.
Hi Christian! I was just quickly trying to get an idea on propagating the rubber plant and I ran into your video. I think it's because you are so natural and shows true passion for plants i ended up watching your other videos!.
I love how you have a shop for it and I can truly imagine myself perhaps if time permits to have my own. I have hundreds of succulent collection and I design arrangements for giveaways. I've also been reviving some of my clients dying plants and enjoyed landscaping and making other's front yard look like paradise😊
I find solace and peace when I am planting!
Kudos to you and best of luck always..
OMG the look you were giving your plant at the very beginning. Cracked me up. And it happened to be a wish list plant of mine
I’m all about the classics because they’re about the only thing in my price range 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes, I have all five of them. How about the oldie but goodie staghorn fern Love them ❤ Love you 💋
Oooh yes, I’ve never own a staghorn fern but do one want. Definitely an oldie but goodie 😁
I like common houseplants. Obviously easier to care for.
That CUTLASS is awesome!! 🤣🤣🤣
Great video! :oD I just got a HUGE Black Coral snake plant last week, and I was totally in love with it at first sight! Aglaonema is on my want list, and so is Ponytail Palm.
Beautiful plants 🍀☘🌿🌍
Such beautiful plants. I just love Aglaonemas and I'm trying to be a plant dad to all of their varieties.
Heck yeah I'm getting that cutlass now lol. I have a red siam and whoa the vibrancy
My marble queen pothos is incredibly beautiful, so that's my first choice for sure. Agleonema silver queen is a stunner as well. I have a gorgeous sansivieria green hahnii that almost looks black. I looove tradescantias, especially the zebrina😍😍😍 you can find a monstera deliciosa almost everywhere, and it's really pretty in my opinion. I only have a few uncommon plants, most of them are common, and I'm not mad at all, they can be just as beautiful and they are so much easier to take care of
Are you me? Except the manjula may be my number one stunna. My most uncommon may be one of the pothos. lol i got n'joy and pearls and jade haha
All the v best for new ventures... Love your videos.....have all five types of plants from the video......but always want more....wish I could buy from Canada... All the best once again
Ponytail palms are beyond awesome, I was given two eight years ago and they are so big now, definitely in my top 5 favorite plants.
The intro killed me lol
Your channel originally got me really into the trailing plants. My favorites are the plain green heartleaf philodendron and my neon pothos but I will always love lucky bamboo and I think it's highly underrated
The black coal is so beautiful! I really want the Dieffenbachia though! 😍
Your skits are so good, every time!!! Love them, great performances. I'm new to plants this year and definitely want a ponytail palm!
I love all your picks.
Oh my god! That intro 😆😆
“Hey, how you doin?” 😂😂😂
Very beautiful.. 👍👍
You have changed my mind re ponytail palm. I think I will try 1. I've never had good luck w/palms...this being a succulant I feel confident to keeping it alive! I also have the same diffenbachia. It is absolutely beautiful.
I have all of these plants and love them to. But I also do tend to focus on more rare plants. Loved the video
I love the ta-das!!!
Great video! I have a nice big super common snake plant I nabbed for $15 on the clearance rack at a big box store. I love how it adds a nice big pop of jungle and it’s super easy to care for. I also have a ficus burgundy that’s one of my favorites. If I had the space I would love to get one of every variety of ficus elastica.
I love your channel
I’ve been trying to find a ficus elastics Sofia, so happy that you have it! Love these plants🪴❤️
Awww, how exciting! People purchasing their first houseplant 🥰, that gives me the warm fuzziest!
I have always wanted a ponytail palm! I have to admit that any plant with that look, long thin leaves, palms, spider plants make me walk away. When I was a child, young 6-7 years old, my Grandmother had a huge spider plant! It was hanging in an east facing window in her living room. Being an only child, it wasn't a blast going there, other than to see Koko her standard Poodle. 😔 Sigh. It somehow always became my job to cut the brown tips off of the Spider plant. It was fine, Koko would stay by my side. He didn't care about plants. It was all well and good until she would come in and tell me to cut off the crispy babies and cut brown tips on the babies. I ended up crying every time. I was able to hold it in until I got home, thankfully. I must have PTSD. I may just try a ponytail now, Thank you, Christian!!😁😘.
May You Find Much Success And Fulfillment In Your Crazy Plant Life!!!
Could u do a video on the steps to opening a plant shop? (i.e. How u decided on store location, required license & permits , challenges u faced, etc). This would be helpful for those of us who also want to pursue this...
Great camera work! Came for the plants……rewatched for the camera focus!
Your intro is so sweet sir Christian,and l like your aglaonema cutlass
Love your vids! But where is the shop grand opening!? Will be by to make more plant purchases soon! Keep up the great work Christian!
Pothos are my absolute fav!!! The ease of propogating is ridiculous! They're a gift that you can easily keep on giving!
Yes!!! I love aglaonemas
Pothos, coffe plants, philodendron brazil lime marble, bamboo such a staple.
Hi Christian! 🤗 I love your videos! 😘 subscriber from the Philippines!😃
Hey Christian 🤗 I have a dieffenbachia Camille and a Tiki! The one you have is cool and a has some similarities to the Tiki. Mine are loving leca and send out crazy leca roots! I was literally just looking into aglaonemas, I'm trying to find the tricolor, looks like Camo! Love snake plants, I have the regular Zeylanica (I think?) It came from Walmart and was a tad greener than I think it's supposed to be. I also have a black coral, a Whitney, moonshine, and Futura Superba, and Laurentii (the green striped one with the yellow border). Just love the way they grow pups. I have ficus elastica tineke, but it put out one leaf since I've got it and has not done a single thing since ARGH! I think the only plant that I was into was the ponytail palm. Ps: I love your ta-das! And your hilarious intros! 🇨🇦😁🌿
That intro... lol. That's how I look at chocolate
Love my aglaonema cutlass, it's always elegant and drama-free.
Currently loving the snow queen pathos 🤩😻
1. Agloenema
2. Pothos
3. Boston Fern
4. Peace Lily
5. Rubber Tree
My top favorite 'common' houseplant is definitely the aglaonema and I am shocked that you are just now discovering how truly beautiful they are : ) I have about 14 varieties but the silver bay remains my favorite. Next would be Pothos - any variety - find them anywhere but so easy, beautiful and fast growers. There's also something about a peace lily, though I don't have much luck keeping them happy in my home, the large leaf varieties are so lush and jungley. I only recently developed a love for rubber tree and I have the Sophia and Burgundy, but they make my list. My 5th and final would be the Boston Fern. Tough to keep happy indoors but such a lush and sexy tropical plant, I consider them my summer deck seasonal plants because they don't do well in my home over winter.
I have the deiffenbachia memoria Corsii. Love this plant!
I love diffenbachias!! 1 of my favoriteI have Tropic Snow & Sequine
My niece gave me some cutting off of her pilea aquamarine. I am in awwe of this plant.
Also I get such a kick out of your intro’s.😂
Wish I was close to your store!
Oooh a Pilea Aquamarine sounds so cool and looks so beautiful. Adding it to my list. 😁
Parlor palm, spider plant, phaleanopsis orchid, thanksgiving cactus / crab cactus, dragon tree. These are all so easy to grow and have unique features that add so much interest to a plant collection.
Lol the beginning tho 😆
The only one I don't have is the palm. The others I have different varieties, I have 10 Dracaena (Sanseveria) just one Ficus, a Tineke. She is my newest plant baby. I have a few Aglaonema as well. LOL I can't afford the fancy plants right now. I love Crotons as well, I find them to be very pretty with their varied colours on their leaves.
I so love my pony tail palm,,I get so much joy out of my house plants also...beauty can be simple but so big also...Peace
Hahahahha the intro 😂😂❤️❤️
My favorites are my snake plants I have about 10 different ones and I love them all. I find them underrated
I have a few. I want more. I don't have the black coral and now I want it so bad
I've got quite a few myself and they definitely rank high in my book. What's your favorite? I'm partial to the smalls so I love the pinguicula and the samurai, all the hahniis.. the moonshine! I want a silver blue lol. Hard to pick one when they're so unique!
TBH definitely mine would be my whale fin
Hi I'm Lisa love your channel. I had the dieffenbachia Memoria Corsll it was massive but I was told to let it dry out completely it slowly died I have a small piece of pt left trying to bring it back to life I just got the Amy its so beautiful, also I have a cutlass but mine is the white stem one I want the one you have love the cutless also have Black coral sansevieria love it also and the ponytail palm trying not to kill it lol . watering is the problem afraid I will over water it . thanks for sharing your beautiful plants
Recently acquired ficus. Have about three varieties. Still treading lightly to keep them alive. They are a beauty.
I recently got a ficus burgundy and a ficus tineke. I just love their leaves. I also got an agalonema silver bay. It is the only agalonema I’ve ever had. I want more kinds of them now. I have a very young dieffenbachia but it had no id with it so I don’t know which one it is. It is growing so,so fast. Love your videos and happy you have your shop now.
The place I live is dry n hot...tried growing scindapsis n philodendron micans n P neon ...but gave up...aglaonema's do really great with no care n I have bunch of these lush plants....I really appreciate that people have started liking common easy to grow plants....infact I prefer growing plants depending on the conditions they thrive well....I keep rotating my plants...in n out.....n they like it
Shout out for the common Tradescantia Zebrina! So purply, so silvery, so lovely.
The standard scindapsis varieties- I love love them, especially the exotica ❤️
Spider plants!! Old school house plant - but still beautiful:)
Never not say "ta da!" :)
Aglaonema cutlass is a wish list plant of mine ❤
Afraid of the Pony Tail Palm. I love it!!
I really like your logo!
Thank you. 😁
Just subscribed great content and since you are also Living in Canada it will help climate wise
Great content 😁
I prefer common/ cheap plants because I don’t have to stress about keeping them alive lol . I have the hardest time with ags though!
