- In this video we’re going to look back at some of the very first houseplants I got back when I first started my houseplant journey. These are mostly common houseplants that have either lost its popularity of have been forgotten by the plant community. I thought why not give these cool houseplants some screen time here on CZcams and let’s review, react and rate them to see if I still love these houseplants or not.
If you’re new to your plant journey and looking for some ideas or suggestions on which plants to get then, this video is for you.
Some of these houseplants have gone through quiet a bit of change since getting them over three years ago. While others have grown from baby plant to a beautiful large houseplant I can’t live without, others are not doing so well and can probably be ok to just let it cross over to the other side. Lol

What are some of your favorite common houseplants?!
Golden pothos!
Neon pothos!
Monstera & pothos :)
Swedish Ivy (Plectranthus australis), Chicken Gizzard (Iresine herbstii), Silver Cloud (Pilea pubescens), String of Turtles (Peperomia Prostrata), AND Haworthia Zebrina.
I do love my Ficus Elastica . . . it was the only one in the store and in someone elses shopping cart. I stalked their cart for an hour until the other shopper abandoned it in the canned goods aisle.
I really wanted to be friends with ZZ 🥲 and the way you held the Aloe on ur waist by side like we hold baby, my heart melted!🥺
you know you're soft for plants when you actually feel bad for the zz plant in the intro
For many years my "thing" has been to cultivate a wide variety of fairly common plants, nurturing them until they become absolutely stunning because they're so incredibly huge and lush and vibrant with health. I love all the different shapes and patterns and colors and textures, and also arranging them artistically around my house. It's not trendy but I'm happy anyway.
I feel like they’re popular for a reason. They grow well, fewer pests, less care needed. I used to poo-poo the golden pothos, but someone gave me a cutting a year ago and it’s already putting out these awesome, huge leaves. My goal is to get them to fenestrate one day!
My whole plant collection consists of a zz, cebu blue, golden pothos, marble queen, n’joy pothos, dracena marginata, dracena cintho, black coral sanseveria, dracena bamboo, sanseveria cylindrica, sanseveria zylanica. As you can see I am a huge fan of common plants as they are hard to fail you, and I think they have such a gorgeous aesthetic
For me ZZ is a 10, they are so cool looking and when they grow its so interesting, I don't think I will ever et bored of them :)
Agreed. They just got that timeless and classic look that personally for me won’t ever go out of style and will always look beautiful 😁
@@CrazyPlantGuy if people think ZZ plants looks boring, they could just beautify the Pots they are in
Yes! I have a raven zz that I love but I’d love a huge green zz. I don’t have the room but ugh would be so pretty!!!!
I agree. It looks very unique
I actually really got into classic common plants this past year. I guess because they are easier to find and much cheaper since plant prices have gone up. I have a new appreciation for plants that my mother and grandmother had while I was growing up.
I just LOVE your acting talent. Always make me smile😁
I have a huge collection of plants that span the popularity/availability spectrum. Honestly, I'm fawning all over my more common plants these days. Everywhere you look online it's all about the most exotic, the most expensive, etc. It's to the point that I'm almost tired of seeing them. So many common plants are common for a reason, they are beautiful and they have stood the test of time.
100% agree. They’re classic and timeless with some of the most beautiful foliages 😁
Definitely! I’ve been ADORING my more common plants also. My marble queen and Brazil philodendron have both been putting out hand sized leaves, they are huge, lush and stunning. They never get pests and are so easy to care for. Whereas my Philodendron Gloriosum is annoying me with its spider mites 🤬
@@GEOMETRICINK Marble/Snow/Brasil are easily some of my favorite plants. Hands down.
Are you in the International Aroid Society's Facebook group? Someone posted some photos of a climbing brasil and a) I immediately gathered all of my pole making items b) saved those photos to my phone so I can ogle them as often as I want with minimal effort, 😂.
I'm not sure if posting a link will work, but just in case:

@@notsurewhatisgoingon Thanks for sharing Jenn. The link opened for me. Wow! That Brazil is stunning. All the best with yours. Happy growing. 🙂
Jenn Dureja ...Thank you! I am going to join that group right now. My Brazil is on a 5 foot moss poll, which has encouraged explosive growth. 😁
I love jade plants so much. I can’t even explain why, they’re just so gorgeous and such easy care!
Hi Christian, I loved that intro! May I suggest that once you have your shop, that you take your bird of paradise plant to the shop. Repot it and give it fertilizer, then allow it to grow. Have a blessed day!
Yes, that would be the plant is to bring it at the shop and get it thriving again.
They require so much light and humidity but I absolutely love the bird of paradise.
Yes ZZ….tell em!!! 🙌🏾😂
Loving your aloe & jade 🌱🌱🌱
Crazy Plant Guy.....this was a cute video!! Loved the other one you did as well!! But your aloe, HELLO....YOUR ALOE!!!! You most def should be proud of yourself, its amazing!!
Dude. That Pilea’s feelings are *CRUSHED* right now! 😂
He’s gonna give you hell now. Just watch. 😂
Interesting idea for the aloe, tying it up like that. I may have to do that with ours. Personally I'm in love with my snake plants right now, they are growing pups like crazy right now
I’ve never wanted an aloe plant but whenever I see yours it makes me want one! The colour and structure is stunning. Rating deserved 💯👌🏻
I love my ZZ. The hospital I work in has one and it’s been in the same pot for 7 years….absolutely a stunning plant and about 4 feet tall.
My aloe is a pup from a friend…..my cat killed my first one, kept digging it up for some reason 🤷🏼♀️…….but he has left this one alone. I’ve stopped over watering as well so now it’s thriving. Thanks for all you do!
I just love the little skits at the beginning of your videos! Great info!
your whale fin is what got me started on plants last summer !! and im glad to say that mine has grown a pup 😍
your plants are really tall
It was a fun and helpful video
I will come to see you often
thank you for the video☺💕
"Common, no am just more popular " 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Loved this video! Read all the comments and enjoyed them as well. I have learned so much from your videos and I thank you! Even though I’ve had plants for many years most of what I learned was what I call “tribal knowledge “ and somehow the plants survived . Your plants are always so gorgeous and they inspire me to better care for my plant family. Thank you for this as well.😊. I would give the Pearls and Jade a 10 , as well as the Hoya, the Pilea and the Whale Fin. Loved all these plants! 👏🌿🥰💚
I totally think you should divide the pilea and see how many new plants you can get! I'd love to see a video on that!!! You two have been through so much together!!!
The pilea is still one of my faves, is just one of the most interesting plants I've ever seen so I totally understand where you're coming from
Golden Pothos, p&j, N’joy, marble, Cebu….all Pothos I began with and are die hards that I love! I can’t believe of all the plants your aloe got a 10!! 😂. Thanks for sharing. 🪴
Haha. I love my aloe the neon, ficus, SOH those are all given 10s for me.
Hahahahahahaaa! That intro was epic! I have two reg and one Raven ZZ and both are just so easy and beautiful! Love them!!
your pilea was the plant that let me subscribe to your channel :) I got mine a year ago as a birthday gift from my mom so its really special to me and I also love its look. I really don't care abour rare or not. I buy what I think looks beautiful to me.
Wow. Point well said. I always enjoy your content
Hi christian..I'm so happy with how you take care of your plants..They are really beautiful. I' enjoying watching your vlog.God bless
I used to think your skits we're corny and a little annoying sometimes but dude you have grown on me so much. I LOVE your little skits. They're just really adorable, charming, and I can tell you absolutely love your ant family and you're a really creative person.
You intros really make me laugh, keep making great videos 👍🏽
Wholeheartedly agree with the pearls and Jade. Hard to find and really interesting and beautiful. Mine is in a 2 inch pot, maybe in 10 years, mine will be as glorious as yours 😆
Yes I love mine. It did get some kind of fungus. I don’t see pests but some leafs turning dark. I did treat it a few times and it’s coming back . I got a huge one online for 32 because I I didn’t want to wait. Definitely worth it. 😊
I'm glad I watched this video, I had no idea that the variegated pothos grew slower. I've grown up with devils ivy and I'm used to their fast growth. Now I'm not gonna worry when it grows slowly!
Just found your channel! So helpful and some amazing tips 👍🏼👏🏼
Thanks. Glad you’re N’JOYING it.
That's a beautiful pearls and jade pothos! I have a dwarf Bird of paradise their leaves are dreamy ☺️
Oooh I want to get a dwarf BOP.
Great upload👍
I love your videos. =) It's really inspiring to follow your journey and learn along the way. I least I'm learning the easy way 😅
Zz and Pearls/Jade both easy to grow and I love them. My ZZ which was huge has been severely crippled by scale but it’s coming back. First time I ever dealt with house pest.
I love watching your videos! You are brilliant and entertaining! So, with my pilea I put some off shoots in a sphere pot and upgraded its look. :)
Thank you. I’m thinking I might do the same worth the babies, plant them together into a smaller pot. ☺️
I just chopped my Pilea couldn’t take the full head an no bottom leaves. Yours has seen better days also. 😀💚
Classic, YOU ARE GOOD 👍!!
Love the intro!! 😄
Another great intro👏🏽👏🏽. Could not stop smiling when ZZ replied “I am just more popular” and your jaw or jaws dropped😂
Haha. Thanks. I’m glad you liked it and thought it was funny. 😅
Love the Pearls & Jade! 10!
My Peace Lily (glaring at it) gets a 1.
We strongly dislike each other.
I feel the same way about peace lilly... But I am trying to be patient
I have never gotten along with those damn peace lillies😒😒
Yea same with my peace lily 🙄
Ficus 9
Hoya 10
Piles 7
Aloe 9
Pearls and Jade 9
Jade 8
Whale fin 5
Bird of paradise 5
I have 3 bird of paradise I started from seed 3 years ago, right now they are loving life outside in Texas under a tree. Have a blessed day
Yay! 10 for aloe!! I love my aloe too, even though most of my planty friends could care less about it.
Just got my Pearls and Jade Pothos yesterday and I have regular green ZZ 2 Raven ZZs and a Zen ZZ.
I also love the Zenzie
I just got Pearls & Jade this week, but have no ZZ's.
I love the way your aloe looks too ☺️😍 I keep meaning to get some Velcro tape to fix mine like that so he stop grabbing my ankle when I come in the house 🤨
10 for sure on the Aloe, as always my favorite plant I've had for 15yrs is my Hoya Carnosa green she is hugh. Do like my Raven ZZ and Pearls n Jade a lot. OK I love them all....lol
Hahah I love your skits
Haha you intros always makes me laugh! 🤣👍
My 10 plant is my ficus Ruby, it's still small but I love it and have hope it gets huge! And I agree on a 10 for the aloe 😊
I love the ficus Ruby. I’m propagating it right now.
Spider plant…still love them, always will.
Hi sir Christian , for your intro,it’s ok 👌 and I’m gonna rate the pearls and jade 10 because I like it, and it’s very lush
The Pilea plant is hard to come by in Nigeria at the moment and is definitely on the wish list of many people here
I subscribed to your channel the moment i saw 'Nigeria' 😊
@@lindakosy aww thank you.
Yeeesss I needed this video.
They are all very pretty
That intro was so funny! 😁
Haha, glad you liked it. 😁
Yeah, Planterina just had to put down her Bof P because of it's need for space also 😆 poor thing ,
Love the varigation of pearls and jade, yours looks awesome... they are hard to find here 😐
" hold on, I'm going to put him down because he is freaking heavy " 🤣🤣🤣
Your Aloe looked so beautiful. This is my 2nd failure growing them. Not sure if I am over watering. They were beautiful when I got them. Planning to try once more this week and see if I will be successful or now. Even my Jade, they kept dropping leaves and then died, not sure what mistake I am making there. My pothos and snake plant is the only one who is giving me all the hope to keep growing houseplants. :)
I feel proud of myself over your ZZ. I even had to rewind to confirm that you said you bought it in 2017. Are you sure? I bought my ZZ in a 6" pot from Ikea. But it was in 2019 and it looks older than yours... fuller and seemingly taller. I didn't know what I was doing so a few days after bringing it home I repotted it into an 8". Thankfully, it survived my ignorance😊 Now I have a baby ZZ I propagated from a leaf that snapped off the same season I brought my ZZ home. Didn't know what I was doing when I put the tiny stem in water. To my surprise after many weeks I noticed a bump and weeks later, voila! tiny roots began to sprout. In 2020 I potted it in soil and for a yr it sat there seemingly doing nothing. Finally this year it's put out a new stem. How exciting! 💕
That’s awesome. Yeah mine is almost four years old. It was much smaller when I got it and hast grown a few new stalks and got taller. I do have mine is low to medium light so it definitely is growing slower. It can probably benefit a repot similar to what you’re done. Thanks for sharing .
@@CrazyPlantGuy Ya, I'm finally realizing the difference light intensity makes. I'm thinking now the reason my ZZ propagation finally shot out a stalk is because I moved it from a low light place to an East facing window. Also after watching your vid where you talked about your Pilea Peperomia one of your subs suggested mine needed more light, which is why it wasn't doing anything even though I had it on a table near a window. I then moved it up a floor onto a dresser against an East facing window. It is thriving now...babies and all. What a difference!
My ratings
--> Pearls and Jade Pothos - 9
Pothos don't get enough praise. So beautiful. Cheap and easy to care for. Everybody needs at least one or two Pothos.
--> Bird of paradise - 1
Nope. Never. Always looks like a mess. Ok for outside but I would never have it as a houseplant.
--> ZZ Plant - 5 (green) / 8 (Raven) / 8 (Zenzi)
The green standard ZZ is nice but I could do without. I much more prefer the Raven and super cute Zenzi.
--> Ficus Elastica Burgundy - 8
Every Ficus Elastica (Tineke, Berlize, Burgundy, Altissima...) is a 8-10 in my opinion.
--> Pilea Peperomioides - 2
No thank you. Never liked it. I own one but I would never buy another one. At least I got it for dirt cheap back then.
--> Sansevieria Whalefin - 7
I love how yours looks so clean, futuristic and sculptural. Almost like something from another planet. A 7 just because mine grows soooo slowly.
--> Hoya Macrophylla - 7
I don't own one but I plan to buy one soon... very soon... maybe today. 🤣 Rating could go up after I receive it.
--> Aloe Vera - 5
Yes it's nice. I like it but just like the green ZZ it doesn't blow my mind. Now I wonder why I have 3 of them in my house.😂 I guess because they are cheap and easy to care for.
--> Jade Plant - 6
I like your Jade. Mine is at least 25-30 years old and very big so MY plant is a 10 for me but the plant in general is only a 6 in my opinion.
I agree with this rating except that I would give MY Tineke a 9, the Burgundy an 8, the Macrophylla an 8 and his regular green ZZ a 7.🙂
💯 Agree with you aloe vera raiting! I love mine like family. I give out the pups, but would never part from the mother.
My Zz's will always be my favorite. My pothos and philo's also ♡
FYI I give all of your plants a 10
When I hear Pilea Pepermoides I think Crazy Plant Guy. You for sure gotta keep that alive. I would like to see it live in water and I would like to see it full again In my book it’s a 10.
💚GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS💚
Yeah, it’s one of my OG plants.
Would be a shame to let it go, 😅
I have many plants and enjoy your videos! The ZZ and pilea are not my friends, they get 1 each for me.
Nice 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌺🌺🌻🌻🙏🙏
Now how would these plants rate you? Lol!!! I totally love your video, I look back at a few plants I bought a while ago and I feel I don't love them anymore😔🌿
There is a video idea! The plants can give a rating based on how they are thriving!
Out of all my (approx 150)PLANTS the ones I love the most are neon epipremnum, asperagus sprengeri and the old citrus I grew from seed, common plants seem to be the most rewarding 🍀
Hi Christian! I Love ZZ's!! I have two, the momma plant is giving me 5 new stems this year!! I am wanting a Raven ZZ and the Zen!! The shape and color to me are so vibrant! They shine , they reach, just love "em! I am thinking of getting a Ficus,,your's look so good! I am in Winnipeg, I have West and South facing windows,,they are 92" tall my windows! Do you think a Ficus would thrive in these conditions?
I love this video it’s funny
I would give the aloe a 10 too because it was the first plant I ever bought for myself when I was a kid and I paid 50¢ for it 😊
My favorite common plant is my beefsteak begonia! Literally a grandma plant lol and not super showy like other begonias, but I still think their eaves are super cute and I wouldnt give it away or throw it away ever!
Yes! I agree I Love mine also,so beautiful, easy, I actually bought a pot just for it, 🌱❤🌱❤🤗
my grandma has a beefy beefsteak begonia i can’t wait to get a cutting from her next time i visit
Your Jade&Pearl is definitely a 9 to me. It's hard to find it where I'm from. And I would love to adopt your Hoya! Haha they're gorgeous. I'll give it an 8
Haha. Thanks. I thought the Pearls and Jade would be more available worldwide.
I really do not like ZZ plants, lol. They look like random stalks thrown into a vase. I am however one of those that still love the Pilea a lot and I absolutely agree on your idea to cut it back and put it into water so you'll have 2 thriving plants :) That Aloe is gorgeous and gives me hope for my 4 small stumps that don't do anything. Also love the Jade plant, the bonsai shape is cool
[GASP] "random stalks in a vase" lol. I love mine but I just glanced at it and you aren't wrong 😆😆
10 on pearls and jade s beautiful , bird of paradise -not my thing😁, love the zz 10 , i love mine still its shiny and beautiful,
Many actually 😆 Pothos, crotons, ixora, syngoniums, euphorbia trigona/lactea, opuntia cactus, devil's backbone, aloe vera, curtain creeper to name a few.
I paid around 15€ for my zz (17 US $) and I absolutely love it. It's really lush and about 1.20m high. It gets very little light but it is thriving, I keep it on a nightstand, so its leaves are the first thing I see in the morning and the last thing I see before I fall asleep :)
P&j pothos. 9. Remains compact and the coloration stands out when near darker foliage giving a nice contrast. Bird of paradise always better outdoors. Ficus burgandy perfect, my outdoor one looks great potted, 12 feet tall. Pilea peperomeoides, i prefer them growing like the bottom of your boy. Ive just put 2 tall ones into one pot and plan allowing babies to cover the bottom. I've gifted all other babies. Jade looks great when trimmed back the structural branches remain,mostly, but they dont look as bare as when left to grow
I still love my Pilea and you are the reason I purchased it. I think you should cut the stalk and water propagate
Pearls and Jade I would give a 10!
I love them but for some reason I can't keep them alive but if I find one I'll always get it and try again.
I love your shirt!!🤗🤭
Thank you 😁
I would love to see a video making over your pilea, whatever you decide to do with it! I would personally chop/prop and repot it. Maybe remove some babies
Love ❤️ my zzzz. I’m getting rid of plants that take more from me than what they give back lol
Ooh I like that perspective. 😁
I love my zz and my zz raven. 😊🌱
I have such a love/hate relationship with my Macrophylla. It always starts to put out a set of two leaves and always drops one of them. So I just have a long stem of one-sided growth. 🤨
I love the foliage on it, but I want to punch it sometimes too.
I say definitely repot the babies and then turn the top bush into an aquatic. For me turning some plants into full time aquatics helped me save them.
Great camera today
You, sir, have a lot of repotting to do. Would love a video of you repotting the peperomioides. I'd chop and prop the top and split the babies into 2-3 pots.
Haha, yeah I got a lot of them to do 😩…I will definitely do the Pilea soon and do a video of it. Thanks for the suggestions 😁
I had to repot zz right away. it's nursery pot was all bent from how much roots it had
Love it Handsome. I saw your twin at the Farmers Market in NYC recently. But it wasn't you. Just your twin. Thank you. Have a blessed 7th Day.
Pearls and jade 9, Bird of Paradise 5, I do have a ZZ now I need Raven 9, Ficus I have 2, I had 3 but I want 2 more now 9, Had Pilea P and lost it, was a little baby 6, Whale Fin, Whaaat? Yessss! 9, I'm still trying to get a baby one. Macrophylla 7, Good Medicinal plant Aloe buuuut 4, Jade 5, That's all I wrote.
Earlyyyy
Yes I love zz plants
They are so easy to take care of... Even though I am pretty lazy and sometimes ignore it, it's still going strong
PS : I just recently got my own room in my house and I want to fill it with plants. I watched a few of your vids and planted a few plants that you suggested. I am still kind of of unfamiliar with the whole being a plant mom thing ..., So if you have any extra advice for a new plant mom pls tell me..🤗
@Reva Ferns Its doing good so far...Roots are growing faster than I expected. So I just hope it survives my begginner mistakes ☺️
You plants look beautiful. Do you have a staghorn fern?
Hiya Christian! My favorite one in your video is the whale fin! I'm looking to get my hands on one soon! Which is so funny because I originally never liked them when I first saw them. I like the pilea, but it struggled during a transition to LECA, it got this fine fuzzy mold my the stem. Eww. The whole reason I wanted to transfer it was because I could see teeny tiny white bugs (I think they might be spring tails because I've seen it in another CZcamsrs video and of somebody commented on it) I would say you should chop it because it's to top heavy now, and remove the pups and let them live their own life LOL. I chopped mine and have been trying to propagate it in water but I end up having to keep chopping it shorter and even removing some of the bark texture because I keep seeing this weird mucousy slime! Yuck! Keep trying to save it, we'll see I guess!!
I would say my least favorites would be the aloe, Bird of Paradise, jade, and the hoya (I know there's a lot of interest in Hoyas but I just don't get it lol)
Your sansiviera whalefin inspired me to adopt one, and now, from one leave i have 4 leaves, but they are very slow growing🤦♀️
My BOP looks neglected too. Awe, it needs love.
I love all my plants but if my house was on fire & I could only choose one to save it would be my "regular" old jade tree. Easily accessible doesn't = less special 💓
The pothos take a longer time to grow. I can't find Hoya anywhere 😫 and my calethea is not doing well....but my succulents are lovely 😍
I love the whale fin look I want one so bad, I found a silver flame with 1 leaf I am looking for one at nurseries
Is a gold fish plant “popular”???
It is the plant that started my collection.
I think your pilea is a 10. If you do decide to cut it and repot …. Could you do it in a video
Oh I love goldfish vines. I haven’t seen one in a while. Definitely a underrated plant. If I do decide to repot I will definitely do an updated video.
It's easier to find a philodendron glorious nowadays than a nemathantus. 😅
