    Your super power is the ability to just rattle off the scientific names of the plants. I am in awe ever time I watch.

      Kathy Williamson Right??!! I’m in awe too!!! If we keep watching we will eventually learn the names too!! Lol

    Can somebody make a 10 minute compilation of Nick just saying the scientific names of plants?

  • @brendaallid-makalintal4345

    I got a “selloum” last year and it was in a 10” pot. I did not take care of it well so I ended up killing it and had only 1 brown stalk left. I left it on my deck and watered it daily. It got so big that it is at least 6’-8’ across now. It has so many leaves and still keeps on going. For that reason, I have named my plant Lazarus like in the Bible. It came back from the dead.
    I had to repot my plant into a 20” pot and is in a corner in my living room but still continues to grow. Because it’s so big now, I can not even take it out to the deck anymore.
    This is a miracle plant for sure!
    I love your videos! I’ve learned a lot from you.

    After finding an 'accidentally' variegated peperomia a few weeks ago, I also found a variegated monstera deliciosa at our local garden center today. It totally made me think of you and I'm sooo excited to see it grow!

    Love your excitement Nick. I have your Wax ivy from your Etsy and I love it too! It’s no where as big as yours though. Wow! I’m so glad you have that special monstera! You will care for it better than anyone and share its beauty on CZcams. I wish I could handle 350 plants but I can’t even imagine! You’re amazing! Thanks for the smiles!💚

    Hi Nick! WOW, 350 plants! That's amazing and they are all so beautiful! I love watching you and your excitement over your plants. I don't think that any of your top 5 favorites are boring. I like all of them. I may have to look into trying to find the senecio. I like the look of ivies, but like you, I've tried different ivies and no matter what I did, they got spider mites. I even purchased 2, sprayed with insecticide as soon as I got home, quarantined them, and within 1 day they had spider mites. Go figure! Thank you so much for sharing your love of plants. Already waiting for your next video!

    I got my Thaumatophyllum in 1983 from a grocery store in a 10” pot with multiple plants in the pot and it was stuck in front of the window at my dorm for the first year. I named it George. . It was big then and it is Huge now since it is always outside. I love it too. I like your plant that is red on the underside!

    • @kufujitsu
      @kufujitsu Před 5 lety

      Not sure if that one is a true variegated plant.
      Variegation sometimes happens on the newer leaves, for protective camouflage out in the wilds.
      The variegation might disappear on the older leaves in time..

    Hi ,Nick I do have a couple of ur fav , but I also have ur number one favorite, the ivy. She’s is beautifully variegated. I found her at a nursery in Quackertown PA. I have her outside and it’s growing like crazy. Please continue to make more videos. I can actually learn the correct pronunciation on these plants. 🌿🌿🌿

  • @amandarachelle13

    🌞🌈Your such a pleasure to watch, probably because you can tell your such a genuine, nice person.
    Thank you for sharing your favourite five plants, really enjoyed it and the stories behind them.

  • @hollyhasegawa6095
    @hollyhasegawa6095 Před 5 lety +6

    Nick, love your 5 favorite, giggled when you talked about how excited these plants make you. Maybe I should try and get one of your #1 favorite plant because I can't seem to grow ivy's but maybe I could grow this one since it's more like a succulent. I just today acquired the Ficus Elastica 'Ruby' at my local grocery store for 4.98, and it's in a 6 inch pot and very healthy, this plant is or was on my wish list. Wow to how many plants you have, thanks for sharing this video.

  • @shaylas-shelves
    @shaylas-shelves Před 5 lety

    Love this video! I would say my top 5 are 5. Fiddle leaf fig 4. Ctenanthe lubbersiana 3. Peperomia russo 2. Ludisia discolor 1. Macodes petola honorable mention: vertical senecio and trailing jade.

  • @SoErkz
    @SoErkz Před 5 lety

    Omg... love your top 5. That monstera is awesome. Glad u got it. Looks like mutation in coloration. Keep it in its current lighting condition or even higher to keep its verigation alive. Rare indeed.
    I had a couple of plants harmed due to planters falling on them. They do heal. Just feel bad for the awkward healing phase. Thought I was the only one with accidents like that. Glad Im not the only one.

  • @ShaineFrolicswithfoliage

    I loveeee you’re 5 and 4 choice because those are LITERALLY mine too! My scin. Pictus argyraeus is legit my fastest growing of every single trailing house plant I have and it amaaaazes me! It’s in a west window and gives me a new leaf like every few days I swear, but my exotica is in an east window and is getting bushy but didn’t start making moves until I put some coffee grounds in (I always forget to fertilize when I water and coffee is the only sure fire way my plants start growing like weeds). Also my Phil. Was labeled as a philodendron “hope Selloum” but you just taught me something today! I rescued mine after a night shift from a scorching grocery store parking lot and it hangs out by my sliding glass door at an east window looking like a damn mutant 😂😂😂 you’re right though, people don’t find them interesting but they are my baaaaaabies 😩😩😩👌

  • @Emily-qo1gw
    @Emily-qo1gw Před 5 lety

    oh my god!!!!! Your favorite houseplant, the variegated wax ivy, is the exact plant I have been trying to find the name for forever! my housemate has one and she got it as a gift so she didn't know the name and Ive been looking for it everywhere! Hers is such a cool variegation too like its very pink on the front of the leaves. I totally agree with you though, it is one of the coolest plants and hopefully the cuttings she gave me survive/propagate ok because I want one of my own!!

  • @jaaustin500
    @jaaustin500 Před 3 lety

    Your monstera has the typical 2 tone varigation that we use on our clothes as generic "jungle camouflage" so it's kinda fitting that it has a name of undescribed....lol :-)....and there's NOTHING wrong with poison ivy. Nothing.
    And, I know that it isn't a houseplant, but I have a bougainvillea that I just can't kill and I bring it in every late fall (Canada) and after it drops its leaves it grows again, flourishes and flowers by February once again in front of my south-facing window! And if I'm careful to acclimate to the outside in late spring it will keep it's leaves from that move and take off even more outside for the summer. It is just amazing! I've had for a good 5 years or so and I love love love it! My next fave is a new philodendron "jungle boogie" that I got last October and it's been growing like gangbusters all winter. It too is in my south-facing window so I guess I'll have to bring it back a ways in the summer but it just loves its new home for now.

  • @ttime5238
    @ttime5238 Před 5 lety

    New subbie here. And this was my 1st time watching one of your videos and what a treat. My favorite part was when you were getting ready to introduce the #1 and you dipped back to notable mentions! The suspense! And I have struggle with ivy for years. In March I decided to try again with a hydera variegated. And its just living...and that is a success. But the crispiness ant the base...the constant misting. So to be introduced to an ivy look a like that I have never seen before is awesome! Thanks. I am going to look for it now. I saw a comment about yout Etsyshop. Do you have it?

  • @Gabbigeo

  • @anothernight82
    @anothernight82 Před 5 lety

    That last plant is awesome in that it looks like ivy, which I really like. I’m dealing with spider mites on mine. 😩 I wish it was as easy to care for ivy as it is to care for a Sansevieria. I love it’s wild, outdoor look. If this ivy doesn’t make it, I don’t think I’ll be purchasing any more. Thank you for the hope of possibly owning one that resembles ivy plants without all the fuss! I had no idea. I’ll have to see if I can find it. Great video!

  • @hi.im.monica9350
    @hi.im.monica9350 Před 5 lety

    Its strange, but one of my favorite plants at the moment is my little ivy. Its simple and easy to come by sure, but I would argue that it is a true beauty. It has two green colors and alot of white! The beauty just hits me every time I look at it!

    It is so funny you mention the labeling philodendron selloum. I litterally bought a monstera deliciousa last summer labeled that way at a Lowes! I thought to myself when I saw it, "That's not the right name, but for the price, I will take it!"😂

  • @carayj
    @carayj Před 5 lety

    I rescued a philodendren sellum from Lowes a few months back for $5 in a ten inch pot. Inside it did nothing , I put it outside a month ago and finally produced 2 new leaves, so bright light is a must for this plant.

  • @basiemyles9910
    @basiemyles9910 Před 5 lety

    Thank you for a great video! I also got the same senecio recently. I had Ivy before and it definitely is the most terrible plant you can buy. Like, if you want a sure way to get spider mites, go buy Ivy! I did find this senecio to be easier to grow, but unfortunately, it did get some aphids on it several weeks after I purchased it. Now it's in my garden away from my other precious houseplants xD The aphids are pretty much gone, but I think I will keep it outside until early fall. I think it will do much better than inside. Also, it is super easy to find here where I live and it's not expensive at all. But then again, peperomias are hard to come by here, as well as any special philodendrons and other amazing plants that you seem to be able to find much easily. :(
