Nick I love your videos, I’ve only just found your channel and appreciate the way you explain everything in plain English, no fancy words or anything. I’m only just starting my plant jungle and obviously I’m a very ‘late starter’ at 67 years old. I shall be buying a Golden Pothos next and am looking forward to catching up on all of the videos I’ve missed up to now. Thank you so much 💗
Nick, I just wanted to thank you for your videos. I've been watching your videos for a little over a year now and I'm always looking forward to your new videos. You bring a cozy calm in my life when I am feeling down or I'm having a chronic illness flare up. You also bring joy when life is going great! I'm grateful to have found your channel. I love plants and you make me love them even more. Thank you again for being a blessing in my life. 🥰🌿🌱
Hey Nick, Congrats on landing a job w/ Soltech, so HAPPY for you!!!!!! I love your videos, I've been subcribed to your channel for months now since I found you here on YT. Your my favorite!!!!! I've learned so much from you. I've ordered the Aspect kit & then vita shortly after, b/c there amazing lights. I used your code both times so hopefully you got commision on both. I wouldn't had known about them if it wasen't for you. I definately support you b/c you go the extra mile on teaching ppl about plants & etc. You make me love houseplants even more!!! I even got the Vittsjo, Ikea bookshelf b/c I just adore how you styled your plant collection. I watch all your videos till the end so you could get some credit from YT. You are so AMAZING 💯
I love these videos. I tend to have the plants you talk about but you remind me of why I love them and sometimes it's so important to remember to appreciate the plants we already have.
Hi Nick! Great choices for getting started with houseplants. I love all of the pothos and philodendrons, like the heart leaf and Brazil. Congrats for getting to work for Soltec! Thank you so much for sharing!
I love Pothos, you just can't go wrong. These bad boys love to grow, they look great, they work in any location and they will never let you down. I had 3 on a floating shelf in dark grey 3d-printed pots and they looked amazing. I have a lot a love for these plants. I also have an Asparagus Fern; they grow incredibly fast and look great. They drop their needles so work well in my bathroom
At the start of my jungle I grew lemon trees, avocado trees, Monstera Deliciosas and Bird of Paradise. After six months realized they were all too big for long term maintenance. Then came the Alocasias. Everything else is a blur.
My choice for a "tree" is my Norfolk Pine. I have lots of climbing plants, but my favorite is my Thai Constellation. I adore Pothos, especially my Manjula, Marble Queen and Global Green. I also love my Cebu Blue 💙. I have lots of ferns in my home. My favorites are my four year old Kangaroo Paw fern, Tiger fern and my Staghorns. I enjoy snake plants so much that I have six different varieties. Thank you Nick for this video, I enjoyed watching it and I am glad that I have a representative of everything plant mentioned.
You shouldn't have asked:I d always recommend a marble queen... Every office in Austria seems to have a crippled golden pothos... And some people (me 😜) hate yellow variegation, but love white 🍀
I love rhipsalis! Just started getting into them and am trying to expand my collection but find they are harder to come across here in Canada. They are so interesting to look at. Hoping this spring plant nurseries will branch out and get more varieties in stock
For me a maiden hair fern is quite easy to keep alive in my environment it was pushing out new growth non stop until I noticed it had scale and the only way I was able to treat it was to chop all the leaves off and after that I kinda neglected it but I'd love to get another one I loved that fern so much it was so beautiful
yes, it is an easy breezy fern ! Don't try the super beautiful maidenhair fern, she is stunning but she won't forgive you the smallest error or one week holiday !
Just recently came across your channel and just love your passion for plants! You're the perfect mix of solid plant knowledge and information while still being light and fun. I love seeing your fabulous plant collection!
Hi! First of all, I have to say that you have single handily saved most of my house plants, and I can’t thank you enough for sharing all your house plant knowledge :) I did have a *hopefully quick* question for you- My cats simply just cannot be trusted to be left alone around any plants- like I have actually seen them attempt to eat a CACTUS- so I have always just played it safe and kept only “non-toxic” house plants that I know are safe for them to eat, but I have always dreamed of finding a way to incorporate a trailing philodendron into my collection, It has just been a challenge to find a way to keep them indoors away from my cats. Do you think it would be possible to keep a climbing plant like a philodendron in some sort of wall-mounted terrarium or even, dare I say, grow it outdoors, like right outside a window? We live in a basement unit with not-so-great indoor lighting, so I often need to supplement with grow lights, but the lighting right outside our windows in the alleyway has been perfect for some of my more tropical (and very toxic) plants that also love the humidity. I plan to set up a little greenhouse area in our guest bath once the temperatures are no longer suitable (though it will be sad to have to lock them away out of sight 😭). Anyway, sorry for rambling, but any suggestions or tips you may have would be greatly appreciated :) Either way, thanks again for all you do!!
Great video! I think the plants in my collection that fit the categories would be: 1) Focal Piece/Tree: I have a tall Dieffenbachia 'Reflector' or Ficus elastica 'Tineke' that is 'getting there' in size 2) Climbing Aroid: OMG I've got SO many good ones! I think my favorites are either my Monstera karstenianum ('Peru'), or my Raphidophora haii 'Shingle Plant', but I also have philo. 'Florida', Raph. tetrasperma, Philo. 'Silver Sword', Raph. decursiva, etc. etc. LOTS to choose from... 3) Trialing plant: Again I have a lot to choose from, but I think my favorites are; Spider Plants (I have 3 types, all green, inner variegated, & outer variegated), Ruby Cascade Peperomia, and Wax Ivy (Senecio macroglossus variegata) - and just about any Hoya as well (which can either climb or trail) 4) Ferns: I disagree here, I think Bostons are really easy to take care of - I even had it out on my south facing porch (shaded) in Las Vegas and it grew like crazy! Mine is now over 10 years old and living in AZ now. But I think my favorite 'easy care' & FAST growing fern has been my 'Rabbit's Foot' Fern. I've had terrible luck keeping blue star ferns alive. 5) Structural Plant: Hands down my favorite is my Cow Horn Euphorbia (Euphorbia grandicornis) - it grows VERY fast for a succulent and really cool structurally. I do have several Sansevierias and I also like ZZ Plants for structure - they can get quite large/tall. Another incredibly fast growing succulent is the Dragon Fruit Cactus - in one season mine went from 10-12" cuttings to monsters over 8 feet long! They haven't bloomed yet, but I'm hoping they will this season!
For a climber, I'm going with a Spathiphyllum Llano Carti Road to have that deep unassuming green on top and the gorgeous red underleaf. I'll pair that with my Sanseiveria Whitney which is super dark, too. Anyway, that's where I start -- we'll see where I end up with my jungle! LOL Thanks for the ideas, Nick :)
"Focal point" is what I think you were searching for for the dracena placement. I really want one one of those and keeping my eyes out for one... Thanks for the great tips!
what about a pachira? I have two that I grew from small plants and now they are over 5 feet tall . they are very easy to care for and they grow very quickly.
What plants can handle temp swings? I have a bathroom I want to put a plant in but its chilly or hot depending on the time of the year. Doesn't drop too low or our pipes would freeze but I worry that a plant may not like the inconsistent temps. See lots of videos on lighting or watering but not too much out there on whether a plant like consistency or not. From my understanding Calathea is out because it doesn't like cold drafts???
I love Schefflera plants, my mom has had hers for about 32 years (she got it as a wedding shower gift). Ever since you showed the Schefflera Actinophylla Nova I have wanted to get one but I cant find them anywhere!
From what I've unerstood, most of the vining plants ( Philodendron, syngonium, epipremnium etc.) can both trail and climb. The difference is that when they get a chance to climb, they produce bigger more mature kind of leafs. So it is a matter of taste in the end.
Question ❓ I have a ZZ plant and it has been doing awesome....I just refreshed the potting mix....I didn't up size the pot I used the same size just deeper...the leaves are now turning yellow but the stems are healthy...any suggestions
The dracena reflexa was one of my first plants many years ago and I’ve been looking for it again. Where did you get yours? Any info would be appreciated.
I have never seen that schefflera before. I love it so much, and I can't find one anywhere! Does anyone have one and/or know where to find it? I checked all my usual haunts, but I know there are a lot of plant sellers that I don't know about. Thank you!

He's the best! If you really want to help him out, let the adds play all the way through. I do it's a benefit for him😊
Thanks Margaret I will, have a lovely day 💗
@@lynncosham9 You too!
Yes, he’s good,no nonsense or loud music and all!

Love the asparagus fern. It gives off that ‘70’s vibe. Moonshine Sansevieria 💚 String of anything. 🐢. Orchid cactus. 💜
i literally *just* finished watching your snake plant video and it helped me understand my moonshine was under watered

I loved this chill format. Thanks Nick 😊
I highly recommend the rabbit’s food fern. Very frilly and super easy to care for.
yes, it is an easy breezy fern ! Don't try the super beautiful maidenhair fern, she is stunning but she won't forgive you the smallest error or one week holiday !
Pothos are my absolute favorites.. Cebu Blue, Jade , Golden are my personal faves!!
Just recently came across your channel and just love your passion for plants! You're the perfect mix of solid plant knowledge and information while still being light and fun. I love seeing your fabulous plant collection!
Your Sansaveria is gorgeous!!!💚🌱🤗💚🌱
Nick thanks for your realistic advice. Your the best!
Show stopper, focal point...
Thanks for the tips and for the B roll.
raphidophora tetrasperma has been an easy to care for quick grower for me.
you and that damn schleferra lmao. love it
Thank you.
Love love love your videos 😊
In your hands everything looks attractive ❤
Please, give your suggestions how to keep CAT from chewing plants!
For my large focal pieces I went with could white bird of paradise and they did so much good for the space!

Eekkk Nick loaded a new video 😊 thanks boo love your content an u! ❤😂
Piper is also a great plant that gives that jungle-y vibes 😊

What? No aspidistra??? 😢
They are great plants!
💚🌵☘️🌱💚
Love your videos 😊
I struggle hard with ferns. I have one doing good (asparagus Fern).
Micans is my jungleiest. I love my Exotica and Ceblue blue, but Micans grows fastest and trails longest for me.
what about a pachira? I have two that I grew from small plants and now they are over 5 feet tall . they are very easy to care for and they grow very quickly.
What plants can handle temp swings? I have a bathroom I want to put a plant in but its chilly or hot depending on the time of the year.

Hey Nick!
Great video Nick!
Awesome advice Nick.
I love Schefflera plants, my mom has had hers for about 32 years (she got it as a wedding shower gift). Ever since you showed the Schefflera Actinophylla Nova I have wanted to get one but I cant find them anywhere!
You don't want the Eye of Sauron in your apartment. Noted! ✍️
Are indoor Palms a good choice? My plants are in my kitchen as the lighting there is the best and Id really love a nice Palm
How do you know if a vine type plant is a climbing or a trailing plant? Or can they all be either?
From what I've unerstood, most of the vining plants ( Philodendron, syngonium, epipremnium etc.) can both trail and climb. The difference is that when they get a chance to climb, they produce bigger more mature kind of leafs. So it is a matter of taste in the end.
With so many plants how do you choose new plants to bring into the home?
Question ❓ I have a ZZ plant and it has been doing awesome....I just refreshed the potting mix....I didn't up size the pot I used the same size just deeper...the leaves are now turning yellow but the stems are healthy...any suggestions
Happened to my fiddle 😩😩😩 she thrived all Summer and then came Winter 🙄🙄🙄
The dracena reflexa was one of my first plants many years ago and I’ve been looking for it again. Where did you get yours? Any info would be appreciated.
😊😊😊
Do you have the scientific name for your asparagus fern? When I google it, there’s another species that comes up
Nick where can I find a shefflera Nova I haven't been able to find one online
I have never seen that schefflera before. I love it so much, and I can't find one anywhere! Does anyone have one and/or know where to find it? I checked all my usual haunts, but I know there are a lot of plant sellers that I don't know about. Thank you!
I recently saw small schefflera at Lowes. Good luck on your hunt!
OMG how is it that your Song of India can grow that height without support?
My love for Schlumbergera means I would love Rhipsalis-if they were ever sold near me!
Ficus are highly annoying to Me at the moment. We are not friends😒
