- In this video, we're going to talk about some plants that I will never buy again. Whether it's because they died soon after I bought them or because they're just not it, we're going to cover all the bases!
Don't waste your money on plants that you'll only regret in the future. Listen to my list to see why I do not recommend buying these house plants.

Plants are like blind dates. You never really know until you are up to your ears in drama.
I started buying plants to de-stress, but this bonsai is stressing me to the moon.
😂😂😂
😂🤣😂
I hate my little cactus that has thousands of the tiny tiny white needles. 100s of them stick in you instantly and they are impossible to get out cuz you can't see them and/or they break with parts still in you. I have over watered and underwatered hoping it will "accidently" die but the prickly bitch is thriving.
Opuntia? So with that one I always keep tweezers around. Then when you touch it you like hold your finger up and you can see the spines then just pull them out with the tweezers.
give it to someone
“The prickly bitch is thriving,” really got me 😂😂😂
Tape!!
Lmao
Maybe I missed this one but you should also do a "plants I will repurchase no matter how many times I kill it" aglaonema camoflauge is one of those for me.
My no rebuy list: caladiums & (most) calathea.
I can totally relate to the "will purchase no matter how many times I killed"!
String of Pearls 😭
I have a philo lickity split. My mom got it in 1991 and its huge. We've never have a pest issue with it. It even survived being stranded in a moving pod for 3 weeks during the summer. ( three weeks in a metal box in the middle of summer with no water, no fresh air..nothing ) Its a bullet proof plant IMO. Sorry you had such a bad experience. Also alocasias are HEAVY feeders. fertilize fertilize fertilize. Also keep it in as warm of a room as you can in the fall-winter. Alocasias do not like to get cold or they start to go dormant and lose leaves.
Pest issues also heavily depend on your environment!
the scecret for frydeks for me was Cal-Mag. Alocasias kill off their old leaves to gain calcium and magnesium so supplimenting these into the feed will allow alocasia to grow bigger and bushier!
What is this cal mag u speak of and where can I get it lol
Calcium and magnesium? Like a specific fertlizer?
@@lenapaws cal-mag is a fertilizer, typically used in gardens for things like tomatoes and peppers.
Interesting. I'll have to see if it helps my pink dragon once it gets larger
I got a black velvet alocasia without knowing about the leaf cycle. I started with 3 leaves. Then, one died and I was devastated. Until…a larger one grew in its place! So, I think I’ve cycled through those original 3 since I now have 4 larger leaves. I noticed a 5th one coming in this week. We’ll see what happens! 🤞🏾
My foxtail Fern is hanging from ceiling in a corner by the window and about 6 feet long and 7 feet wide. I'm in a one bedroom apartment 😂😂😂 When you love something let it GROW 😍🥰
coming from an indoor desert grower i can tell the problem with most of your nogo selection comes from not having the humid and breezy conditions to get big and colorful. its tough out here in these dry places to get big colorful house plants
Yeah. I’m looking at my one leafed Frydek. Honestly, I’d like the space for a different plant, but I do love the one leaf and it’s very much not dead and I also feel like we’ve been through so much together that I don’t want to give it away. But….if it died, I know where my new Clarinervium would go!
2:35 I have found that aglaonema prefer to have their soil dry out quite a bit before being watered. And although most sources say it’s low light, I have noticed that mine prefer medium bright light.
My caladiums are my outside plants. I mean i’m in Florida so it’s easy but i just let them die and then i start super watering them in spring and they are back in no time. Very cute and super low maintenance!
Yes on the hoya Burt! I always neglect it and always with the damn blooms! 😭
No cissus discolor for me. I love them but can’t keep them alive.
No to any plants that have to live in a cabinet to survive.
I hear you Harli on Alocasia's. I used to have big full lush Black Velvet, Polly, and Bambino. Then I guess they heard me bragging and decided to brown their leaves and go dormant. Next for me would be Peperomia's. I LOVE the leaves on the Watermelon, the Purple ripple, the Green, and variegated. But they don't like me, and Aglaonema's hate me too. 🤷🏽♀
Another person on CZcams has peperomias and he mentioned that he always bottom waters because the stems are so delicate it’s easy to rot them with sitting water in them. I’ve kept 3 alive so far(knock on wood) and now that it’s spring I’m hoping for more growth.
My subhastum only likes to grow outside with a rediculous amount of humidity. My aglonema in clay pots that I often forget about and water when wilty do better then any in plastic that I baby.
I guess the losing leaves thing is normal for younger alocasias. Until it matures it kills the oldest littlest leaf to make way to support the newer one. Super frustrating though!
Down in the south we sell the Croton as a fall outdoors plant. I don’t think I would ever put that as a indoors plant.
I’ve tried to grow banana plants indoors without success. Orchids are also so difficult. African violets, lipstick plants and ferns too.
My mom loves african violets and I gave her my dying orchid and started that addiction too lol i think violets are fussy with light and watering. The instructions on orchids from store are just wrong and need better soil to drain.
If you were to decide to get rid of your variegated Burle Marx, I would be very interested…this is one of my favorite. I have a baby in my greenhouse right now and I get so excited to see it’s new leaves.
Harli, Agloenemas thrive so well in West Africa, especially the humid parts. So it’s a humid loving plant. Caladiums don’t go into dormancy in the tropics.
No,caladium still do dormant.I am living in the Philippines.I have them and still they do
Ok. But I’ve never seen that, maybe the ones I’ve seen are in cycles, so when one is dormant another is not. I actually I don’t keep any but I lived in a house where there were some.
I have the shrub version of the asparagus fern outside. It's in a huge pot and the leaves are 3-4ft long and it constantly puts out more. It does very well with morning sun and dappled shade the rest of the day in Tucson, AZ.
As a hoya collector I'm shocked. I dont think I've ever heard anyone get tired of how much their Hoyas bloom lol. Especially my Burtoniae, shes been in bloom since last year and I absolutely love it and love smelling it.
I do agree with Caladiums I cant deal with anything that has bulbs! Sucks because I absolutely love Caladiums and I've never gotten into Alocasias they're way too disappointing to keep. I'm honestly done with Monstera, string of ANYTHING, All Agleonemas , all palms , Hate Diffenbachias and all Syngonium and if I had to pick any hoya I'd never purchase again it would be the Compacta. Hell no, I'm done for good. Ok I think I'm done lmao
I was about to ask if there’s anything left that you like and feel worth keeping? 😂 or are you retiring planthood for good! 😅
@@sandylizbeth2900 lmao I like a select few of philos , a few calathea, love pothos , I love Anthurium, I enjoy peperomia and ferns (but know which ones to buy now) and Im a huge begonia lover but mainly my collection is 80% hoya. I didnt want to say hate when naming these plants but after so many times buying them and killing them for who knows what reason..🙄 I can honestly say me and these plants are officially beefed out now.
Going to guess you just don't keep plants anymore
@@gygaxx69 Did you not read above? Yall act like the ones I named are all that's out here.... Like I said I know what I like and I only buy what I like. I dont know about any of you but I dont like to waste money and dont buy things just because of hype or look they have to fit my environment and not be a mental drain to keep happy so if that only limits me to a few...oh well 🤷🏻♀️
I like my syngonium, but my diffenbachia...it was OK, didn't love it, so gifted it away.
Hi Harli on a previous video you were talking about Maiden Hair ferns and being difficult to grow. The secret is Epsom Salts. They like more light and fertilizer than you would think and of course no drafts. Love your personality and love of plants. regards from New Zealand.
My most hated plant, and the one I gave up on the fastest by far, are crotons 😅 I've had 2 of them and they got so ugly so quickly, dropping leaves and attracting so many pests. I basically immediately see them all as gross now because all I can picture is the smelly, infested sticks that they'll likely become under my care.
I bought a pineapple plant, it was over halfway grown. So exciting. Didn’t realize it was infested with mealy bugs due to them hiding in the pineapple stem… I always blindly trust nurseries. But eventually I noticed the leaves were completely covered in mealy sap and I started wondering what the little cotton fluffs were. I ended up losing almost half of my “exotic” plant collection 😢
that's kinda careless and stupid..
@@heyyou4705 Yeah, it was. But you live and you learn.
I’m letting my alocasias live for as long as they’d like to but once they go I’m not replacing them. I adore them… but not the spider mites that come with them.
The Frydek does better outdoors, at least mine did. I also struggled with it having two leaves for a while so in the summer I put it out and it grew so many leaves. It even got used to full sun and was very happy. This winter I had to bring it back in and the leaves have slowly been dying but I will put it out again when it gets warmer.
Mine is exactly the same. It thrives all summer then hangs on for dear life throughout the winter. I can’t wait to get it back outside. My Alocasia Polly is the same. Struggle buss all winter then dozens of head sized leaves all summer 😅
So good to know! Thanks for sharing 😊
I agree with all of them mine are probably ANY kinds of pointy cactus because I love to feel my plants and i just dread the re potting of them and they are just to easy like no watering I like to have to look after them but them not being to hard to care for. I find my fox tail fern does really well in terrarium's they grow really well and It doesn't get everywhere and when its getting to big I just trim it back .
Harli please reconsider the frydek, it's such a gorgeous plant. The leaves are one of a kind! I have mine growing in leca at the moment and it's loving it on it's 7th leaf next to an East window. Ambient Utah air! I'm sure you'd love it if you gave it another shot, in the way way future when you are ready! 😜💙
Leca for the Frydek’s and good overhead light. They’ll thrive with little pests issues too!
My list has philodendron pink princess and cissus discolor. I’m sure there are many more but those to immediately come to mind
100% agree on the alocasia frydek. for me, the whole royal family of philodendrons will not be repurchased when (not if) they finally die. I just have to come to terms with the low humidity in our household. Also, funnily enough, some plants just don't want to live. I used to think monstera are thrips magnets but for some reason my albo is the least problematic plant I have at the moment whereas my green ones all .. passed on to even greener pastures😅
Suicide squad plants😂😂😂😂
@@deidrajimi9816 hahaha 💯
I will never buy another monstera. Not a vining plant in our home. Love ferns and snakes.
Why no monstera??
I don’t want to deal with monster plants. They always look messy. I prefer more structured plants. I don’t like plants I have to fight. I was always fighting those vining plants. No moss poles for me. Stand alone and be a strong plant is the right plant for me.
@@lorineilly6103 😂😂 this made me chuckle. My largest monstera is always an experience when it comes to watering. You’re spot on about the monster nature, but I’m a sucker for those leaves.
Hey Doll!
Was wondering, could we get an updated on your Ikea Cabinet plant setup? Was going to do it next month and was looking for some tips and tricks for the future im in for :)
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing! Zebra plant, fittonias and pileas are definitely on my never buy again list. I just can’t keep them alive past 6 months!
Omg no more crotons for winter in my house. Mine was so pretty and did amazing when I got it in the summer brought it in lasted maybe a month and just started dropping those leaves like its hot lol
For the foxtail fern.. what if you put it up above the shower on a shelf and when it's needle/frond things fall you can just wash em down the drain? Plus the humidity will keep it happy
I had crotons in my yard when I lived in Australia and they need so much sun. I doubt most people can keep em happy inside.
For me the plant I'll never buy or try again is the begonia Rex. I can't keep that plant alive to save my life. No matter what I did it just did not work. I tryed it twice and they both died lol
Why don't you try Cane Begonia for a change? Unlike the Rex, Cane is much easier to care for as long as they are provided with a slightly higher humidity ☺️
I would put your philodendrons on a moss pole. I've just recently discovered that most of my trouble plants do better on a moss pole. I just found your channel so I'm not sure if you have already tried this or not.
I live in CO where it’s really dry, and I just cannot keep any ferns, calatheas, zebra plants, crotons, or begonias in my house, even with humidifiers. They have all perished unfortunately, so I’ve learned this the hard way. I did not have the same problems when I lived on the east coast. I’m sticking to plants that don’t require as much humidity (at least for now, unless I get a greenhouse or something lol).
Definitely any ferns that are not the blue star fern. They just seem like a lot a drama and don't even want to try to much with them. Even though they are literally everywhere where I live.
Here in Maryland, croton are a huge part of most people’s landscaping, they are everywhere! I would never bring one in either…they can stay outside 😅 they just need way too much humidity
My thaumatophyllum was also lost to thrips and it was SO big and beautiful will never subject myself to the heartache again
I have been struggling with two plants. First is Geogenanthus ciliatus, the one with glossy dark leaves. It does not want to grow neither in terrarium or open air. The second is Philodendron grazielae. It's leaves are hard to unfurl and getting smaller and smaller. Right now I have a "take three" on both.
I'm done with nerve plants, polka dot plants, and marantas - they all look cool but need way more water and humidity than I care to provide! I've been nursing an alocasia silver dragon back to health after its leaves got all crispy on me, but I killed one I grew from a corm and probably won't try any other alocasias, as pretty as they are.
My mom has been keeping crotons and ferns alive together in the same pot without any soil change for 15 years. No humidity, just a lot of light and she fertilizes the crap out of them lol. She constantly has to cut them back because of how big they grow for her. So maybe light and fertilizer is the answer.
I LOVED aglaonemas.. they were my favorite for a while.. and just like you said, they start to drop leaves then boom! Just a couple of sticks in a pot are left.
So sad.
I loved my chocolate aglaonema.. but it's barely alive now.
Yes, on the crotons. I think they just need more light than they can get in most houses. I had one that survived for a few years but looked stupid because it kept loosing leaves. I was almost relieved when it kept getting spider mites, because it gave me an excuse to throw it out.
In southern California they grow outside.
@@cindyvan635 yes, I've seen them in landscaping in Florida, too. I don't even know why they sell them in the North. Us poor saps buy them because they're pretty just to watch them lose leaves constantly.
They’re very tropical. They grow all over the place in Ghana
@@cindyvan635 they come from Ikea in my world lol 😘
Mine are tradescantia, alocasia of any type except my huge regal shield, which was the most expensive plant I’ve ever bought! Others include string of turtles and s.o. Dolphins-nope. I have had a lot of problems with bear paw plants, but I now have 2 that are thriving with utter neglect-don’t water them until critical dryness has been my success. There are more, but that’s it for now. Thank you Harli for such great videos and information-I greatly appreciate your knowledge!
I can not keep tradescantia alive to save my life! And they’re supposed to be so easy
Ready…I agree with you on Every-Single-Plant!
I will never buy a Syngonium, sorry, again. We do not get along, they are beautiful but I just can't. My aunt is the Hoya queen and she says they will not bloom unless their roots are crowded in the Planter so try up potting the Bert into a larger Planter and maybe it will stop blooming for now. Love the video's
Hi Harley!!! I love all of your videos , you have inspired me to propagate (which I love doing) and sell some plants on Facebook marketplace. I actually came across a video the other day and the person said some plants are patented and you can not propagate and sell them so I researched and it is true. I had some Manjula pothos almost ready and I had just done another propagation box with some more and then found this out. It was surprising to me. So anyway I was wondering if you look up to see if the plants you sell are not patent and where you find this information? I have looked but honestly it gets a little confusing and I was hoping for a sight that was easy to read where they have all of this information. Thank you in advance!!! Love you!!!💕🥰
Oh, I love my Alocasia Frydek. It loves pon and a selfwatering pot! Try again 😍
Yes I agree with these plants,not having them myself anymore ,
💚🌵🌱☘️💚
I've had the same issue with philodendron hope: no matter where I get them from, even bare-rooted, they immediately have thrips. 😫
You like broke my heart. Hoya Burtonise is my favorite Hoya. She inspires me to buy more Hoyas. Oooh well this is life. Still enjoy your channel.
I have also a philodendron subhastatum for almost 3 years now. Received it as a small tiny baby cutting. At first it grew like crazy. Than it slowly started to dye back. In the beginning I gave it too much love and too much water. I learned to let it be. Less water, less to almost no fertilizer. Close to the window, but not too bright. Now it is thriving and the colors are bright and vibrant. Since I put it on a higher stand it even grows faster. It constantly gives me new leaves. It is a diva and wants to be on top of everyone. Pretty happy with it. I hope yours will also start thriving again. Fingers crossed. 🤞🏻🪴
The aglaonema modestum is, well, modest and classic. Its very, very easy to take care of. It takes a real beating. A week without water in the hot hot summer does almost nothing, it just wilts. Sunlight wise, very tolerant of low light, a great green filler plant for a corner. You can also very very easily grow it in water.
Right when i saw the hoya burtoniae i knew you were going to say because of the blooms just from your past videos :')
Oh yes, the hoyas certainly can have a strong scent! I have a nummeroides that smells HORRIBLE. I keep mine outside but had to bring one in for a hurricane, and I couldn't stand it.
Mind blowing! (your issues with agleonema). Those actually work for me. I have issues with diffenbachia lol. Never again!
My lickety split ALWAYS got thrips too. Any I brought home had thrips too, no matter where I got it from.
Hi. About this aglaonema i got it. And maybe you have troble with it doe to the clime there and same with the caladium... Here in DR It's easy to care..about this pholodendrum you're ,i'm agree with you. A big hug. Was a pleasure meet you.
You look so nice💜👍
I love my Hoya Multiflora but it also blooms constantly and drips nectar all over the place.
I don't do well with Peperomia, that includes string of anything haha. Also started branching out to Begonias but killed them too. Maybe I was too young of a plant parent but I just don't want to risk the heart break again. Caladiums make me sad and I love Alocasia so my Frydek is coming out of dormancy right now and its beautiful but my silver dragon and black velvet died :( Also Philodendron Pink Princess....Maybe I have a dud but it only has 1 pink variegated leaf.....so annoying
Oh yeah agree on peperomias, they're very fickle
I planted my foxtail fern outside. I live in Southern Oregon and its fine outside.
Thanks for sharing 👍
I have one plant on my list atm and it’s a philodendron brasil. I’ve tried twice with this plant and I can not get it to live in leca. If I were to try again, I would just keep it in soil. Honestly tho, at this point I’m just kinda over the philodendron brasil. They’re are so many other options for trailing plants and I would prefer to replace it with some type of Hoya.
that aglaonema needs a lot more light than you think! mine grows well because it gets full morning sun and it's soooo pretty!
I have 5 and they grow well for me... Now as for Syngonium 😢... they Start dying as soon as they see my face 😂
Same. Have mine in a south facing window, it's also super picky about water. I only give it distilled water
I will never buy a calathea again! I will most likely also never buy an alocasia either. Maybe for an outdoor plant! 😅
Definitely agree with the croton from experience lol
My Aglaonema loves to be on the dry side. They can't handle very dry soil like snake plants could but definitely love dry soil drier than Syngonium plants.
Add fiddle leaf figs ,weeping figs - constantly dropping leaves ,spider plants ,etc more
I've had a problem with Aglonema also. I currently have one, however I am rolling the dice on how long it will last. It is doing well now however the last few times was the same way it really did excellent and then just started dying back. So we shall see. Most plant people say never, however I bet you will try again because it is the challenge!
I water mine about once a month and I have 5 of them and they are all in different lighting conditions, some VERY dark, the humidity is average. So I guess just adjust the watering and see how things go!!!❤
I have a family friend who has a beautiful, ancient hoya and she strung it up so it's trailing over her claw-foot bathtub to catch all the sap. Just an idea! Hang over sinks, tubs, showers to reduce the mess?
I just combined my oldest house plant Aglaonema Maria with my latest plant Aurora in a large pot . Cannot wait to see what happens in the future.
I live 80 miles south west of Houston, Tx…all of the plants you listed grow very well here planted outside, if it freezes they all Pop back out in the spring, even the caladiums, I never remove caladiums or amarillo bulbs from the soil, philodendron, alocasia, they all freeze and come back out.!!! Maybe you should think about moving south.!!!
I find aglaonemas to be difficult to keep happy, too. The silver bay variety is enough, but I have a really hard time keeping the variegated varieties alive.
I feel like aglaonema need high humidity. I can't keep them alive here in Canada, but they always were easy to care for in my home country. It's sad because I really love how they look and how they easily fill up a space. 🙃
Im in Alberta and its just so dang dry over half the year! Ahh
Ficus Elastica is always dying on me.I love Miltonia Orchids but they never make it, they will do well and then just start wilting away😢The Kroton "Petra" on the other hand is doing so well it even started blooming.
Just found your channel! I almost purchased a Lickety Split recently. Thrips? 😮 I would die if my other plants got infested! For me, I will never buy another Fittonia, Aglaonema Siam, succulents, and ferns of any kind. Killed the Fittonia on purpose. Neediest plant I've ever owned! 🙄 The Siam keeps dropping leaves. I'm going to try to reroot a cutting to see if I can make it look better. Succulents are dead in my hands. Maybe not enough light in my house? I've never kept a fern happy. They turn brown in the center and look awful. Peace Lily used to be on my no list until I bought a really big one. Now it's my favorite plant!! I love most philodendrons too. I'm trying a Begonia Rex. Let's see if I kill that! You made me feel better about not succeeding with certain plants. Thank you!
Never been so early to a video lol Never say never but I don’t know if I’ll ever buy a scindapsus argyraeus again or any calathea/goepertia
calathea aren't that hard they just need different type of care than other usual houseplants8
Oh I have 3 Aglaonema and so far they are okay, I have the Red Siam, the Maria, and that Anyamanee, I also have that Lickity split. I had 3 Crotons and they all died and like you mentioned I think it is because they needed more humidity, I really like them but they just don't do great in my house. Caladiums are so beautiful but I can't keep them alive either. I also like ferns but they struggle in my house so I don't buy them. I have also never gotten the burl marx Philodendron even though I think it is so pretty. Oh that cissus amazonica sure is beautiful, I would also like to get one of these and see how it does. Oh and that Philodendron subhastatum sure has some beautiful leaves, if I ever had the chance to get one I would like to see how it might do. I also really like some Alocasia, and if I could find one of these I would love to try and see how it might do, I have two Alocasia, the black velvet and I think the polly, that so far are not on the struggle bus. I just feel like it is part of being a plant parent and learning how our plants are doing and finding out how to take care of them and just hoping that they survive. Thanks so much Harli for sharing this great video and I hope that you have a blessed and happy rest of your day, sending love and hugs, bye! 🤗🥳😎👏🙌🙏👍💜💜💜💞
Caladiums go outside in the summer,then pulled and stored for winter.Alot of caladiums, but I do amaryllis for winter and store.
Syngonium - I always end up killing them, even though they are supposedly unkillable x)
Monstera adansonii but probably all Monstera - thrips magnet/s
Hoya retusa and Hoya linearis - can't tell when they are happy and when they aren't
I would recomend growing your cissis upward not hanging for bigger leaves. Also mabe your hasturtum would appreciate growing on a moss pole? Better humidity and stability.
What plant would i never buy again? Probably aglonemias and allocasias and caladiums. I say that but yet still get sucked in because they so pretty.
The Hoya Burtoniae is hilarious. So many of us just want our hoyas to bloom and they don't! LOL. Mine are no more alocasias. I just do everything for them and can't keep them happy. Back to Hoyas, I have a curtisii that's very cute but it just always seems on the verge of death, no matter what I do. So yeah, no more of that one if this one doesn't make it.
When you said Alocasia Frydek, my poor heart couldn’t take it 😭😭 that plant was my absolute pride and joy, took it all the way from a leafless stump to 8 giant leaves!! UNTIL, my lickety split gave it thrip and it died 😢 legit got out of plants after that and swore not to really get back into them until I found a frydek… which I just so happened to today after a year and a half🙊 I found it did really well in a hybrid soil-leca setup with really high humidity. Would never get a lickety split ever again bc of the pest issues
Omg the philo branti !! I just hate the small leaves. Hate hate dieff’s they only give me 2 leaves at a time😅 I don’t love any philo that grow up, I love trailers
Ferns are gorgeous, but they don't like my place and humidity. Too bad for them 😅
For me it’s a Boston fern or any fern that isn’t “somewhat tolerant” (have the heart leaf fern and rabbits foot fern and get along well with them but no Boston fern). Also no tradescantia. I grew a few types before and just hate how leggie they can get. They are somewhat easy but just don’t think they are for me (maybe I’ll love them again, who knows)
Also for me I transferred my frydek to pon and honestly all of my Alocasia and it was the best decision. Easier care, can keep up with the waterings and yea. Also I do feed mine a lot
I LOVE your hair cut.
Some on my not again list are: Spider plants, most Calethias, most Alocasia, Crotons, Caladium, Cissus, Dieffenbachia, Begonias, Poka Dot plants, String of..., Asparagus ferns, and Ivy. A plant that I will probably keep buying no matter how many times I kill it is the Maidenhair fern, sigh.
I don’t like aloe plants.part gets big and falls out of pot and part gets flat. I get frustrated watering. Also will never have another spider plant;the leaves turn brown at base. I have tried different ways to water. Do we’ll with all other plants
Thank you ❤
Never ever getting String of Pearls again! Or really any string things…just started trying String of Turtles and am SO nervous
I struggle with crotons. I actually just gave my aunt my last one (the lone survivor of me) and it seems do like her better. I have tried so many times because of the colors in them. They just die on me.
I have about 50 kinds of Alocasias. I love them even when they're a headache. 😂 My Frydek is giving me a headache currently though. It's always been beautiful and it's behind my work monitor so I see it all day. However, it's never quite recovered after it's last bout with spidermites so we'll see. 😢
any calathea, alocasia for quite a while, figs, and i need to stop buying adansonii because ive bought 5 different ones and killed them every time i dont know how or why no matter what i do 😅
Girl all of my aglaonemas are doing amazing and I love them sit them off to the side and water here and there and they do amazing they don't need much at all and I mean sit in a corner in a well lite room but do not but in sunlight
I have the same problem with the Aglaonema Anyamanee Tricolor. I got one after seeing it in your Houseplants You Might Not Know About 2022 video. I was in South Florida at the time and it was on an east-facing screened-in balcony; very high humidity all the time; I think I was careful with the light, but it was just very unhappy and I gave it away.
I moved to another state and got another one last summer. It's indoors by a north-facing window but also near a grow light and a humidifier. I cannot figure out what it wants. The prettiest leaves are the deep-colored ones, but they don't stay that way; the leaves either come in sort of faded-looking or they turn that way and eventually die, although it continues to put out new growth.
I have an Aglaonema Red Emerald that is so easy, just grows and grows and is quite beautiful. But the Anyamanee, I just can't figure out what it wants.
