You know someone exudes true positive energy when you smile unconsciously when they speak.
True
I was smiling too, through the entire video 😊😊
This just brought so much Joy to me, Thank you! ❤️🌹💕
Love that 💛👏
OMG, so true. Smiling through the whole video!
Okay, but why is she ALL OF US when it comes to plants?! Love her and sending her light and peace! 💖
So basically it turns out I was smiling for the entire video, and now my cheeks hurt :). Love both of your names, Niyya and Summer, absolute bundles of joy, both of you!
lol
that’s what he said
Me too...OMG! 😆
But you have an amazing beautiful smile. I love your plants
Lol.... Agree and True.
I saw the Bronx and clicked. I was born and raised in the Bronx. Thanks for sharing your apartment, plants, and positivity. 😉
My situation is so similar. Homelessness with my 4 kids, domestic violence, and losing everything but nature and my plants are my escape. ... I have a collection of plants that have brought me through depression so I return the love by caring for them. ......and I'm a realize too🥰😍. I'm glad I saw this.
I've been acquainted with Niyya for YEARS and she is as amazing as she comes across in this video! I'm so glad this video showed up in my recommended videos! Congrats boo!
Thanks for sharing this about her. I Did search her name but I have to find her on other Platforms that I don't use or have.. I really like her.. Thanks
If I can find a lady like this.. who loves plants and a smile.. OMG.. What a great time..
This was a great plant visit. Yes. Growing and nurturing plants is healing. If I did not have them I don’t know if I would have made it through the Pandemic here in NYC. We were completely shut down. But, I made it and so did my plants. All 108 of them. Thanks Summer.
Can you take a photo and post it.?
Her apartment is decorated so beautifully!!
She is so beautiful and glowing with color and life. Love her apartment.
She really is. I’d love to be her friend. ♥️🌿
Such enthusiasm! The real thing!
Amazing how she knows the names

Same Thoughts
Awwww! She has such a beautiful soul.....I can totally feel the peace and good energy that surrounds her.
What a joyous person..very upbeat. I love her collecton of plants and how they are displayed. Niyya's exuberance, I think, fuels her plants...they respond to it...as well as her good care of them. Another fun home tour..thank you!
Beautiful! I Wish Niyya had CZcams videos❤️
She mentioned live streaming on Instagram. Follow her there.
I agree she needs her on CZcams videos
Yes i thought she already had one . I was searching.
@@comfortablynumb9342 😩 this is as far as I go with social media
So do I
I hope we ALL understand and can see our father in EVERY CHILD!!!!
Oh I love Niyya. And her dress she’s wearing it’s very cute as well as her apartment 🪴💚💖 She’s so happy. A person with positive vibes.
I just love this young woman, her beautiful apartment, and her plants. So many apartment tours feature thousands of tiny plants that aren’t as vibrant, healthy, and attractive as hers. Her arrangement of them is just lovely. Love the sheer gold and white curtains, love her dress and earrings. This entire tour was not only informative, but a joy to behold. Thank you.
What a fun person this woman is.
She’s SO cute. So animated. I bet she’s so much fun to be around💚🙃 Thank you Ms. Summer💚🙃
A very special young woman! She has tremendous love in her heart
Just wonderful
This woman’s energy is TOP 💛 🤗
Niyya, you are absolutely delightful! Such a breath of fresh air. Thanks for letting us into your beautiful home.
I’ve just fallen in love with your love for your plants and your energy!!! Absolutely Beautiful. Thank You for sharing your plant family!❤️❤️💕🌻
I luv this woman’s story and style. I feel relaxed just looking at her place
I'm loving Niyya's energy!! I also loved that she didn't hold back on any tiny imperfections in some plants. Some want to only show the healthiest plants. This is such a relaxing video and now I want to buy MORE plants, lol! Always love to hear other plant parents' stories. Thank you ladies!
Yay! You are in the Bronx!!!! Diversity on your channel is needed! Thank you!
The houseplant home tours are always such a great way to show the diversity of folks who love plants. Plant love crosses borders, race, sexual orientation, age, and more. Love embracing that in the tours.
Glad you are embracing your words!
I was dreaming about the plant back in the nursery -how many plant lovers can relate? 💚
I did the thing she did with my string of dolphins 🙌🤣
Even lettuce calls to me. I am just working on summer plants for my balcony and decided to do a pot of lettuce along with my many fuschia, coleus, tuberous begonia, etc. I put a little green romaine and a red romaine plant in my cart the other day, but found a cheaper 6 pack of red and green leaf lettuce and returned the romaines to their shelf. After going home I regretted not getting the red romaine and returned to the store the next day for it. (Ok, and a few more plants). Those were the last two of their kind, and as I walked away I felt bad for the little lonely green romaine and turned back to take it home too. I gave away 3 of the leaf lettuce to a neighbor and have the other 3 plus the red and green romaine happily living together in a large pot on the balcony now and don’t have to feel plant guilt over leaving one behind! 😆
I love everything about this! How she turned her life around for herself and her kids after living through domestic abuse and homelessness, how vivid and bright she is, and how her plants are absolutely thriving! I saw way too many plants tour where the owner has 200-400 plants but they are all half-dead for lack of proper care. Her whole home is LUCIOUS with happy plants everywhere!
♥ how Niyya tells her stories behind her plants
This tour is one of my favorites now. Niyya has the purest energy!
What a beautiful person & I love her apartment. It’s sunny cheerful & bright just like her!
This is one of the best videos Summer has done. Niyya is so delightful and I love her passion.
My favorite for sure!
I don’t remember how I ended up on your you tube channel, but it was to me God sent and you inspired me with your plants, for the most part your telling the story of your homelessness which I too can relate, how you rose back up is phenomenal. What a Great story.
She's beautiful and her home is lovely colorful and welcoming. She has a peaceful and powerful spirit .
When I watch plant: “TV” a.k.a. CZcams, The foliage is always the star, but not today, her beautiful blackness sun kissed skin, with that golden texture😩stole the show today. 😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🔥. That Queen was definitely the main event, thank you for this video
Amen! Effortless beauty.
@@HappyHonee-Exactly 😊
Miami Trea you have a beautiful way with words...ever thought of writing poetry?
We were all smiling the whole time. 😀She is amazing with plants.
She's so positive and has such an infectious smile, I found myself getting excited with her even though her plants are so common here where I live. They all look so glorious and healthy!!!
I loved this episode. So much joyous vibrant energy from both of you and from the plants.
What an incredible guest and beautiful home. You can tell she’s put a lot of love into this safe space.
A fellow Bronx Girl, with plants! Yay! Thank you both for sharing!
You are so welcome!
I am happy to burst your bubble about the poinsettia. I had two that my Mom kept trying to finish off in the snow. They were almost bare branches, they had white flies, their pots were way too small. I kept hauling them back in, washing off the white flies with soap, water and tissues. They grew up to look like small trees. A bit over 4’ tall and almost as wide at the bottom. My Dad kept them when I went off to school. He put them in the basement for a month or so in winter and they would bloom each year. Beautiful, happy plants.
Such a beautiful personality Niyya! Hear the passion in your voice when you talk about your plants. Great video with Summer who is just as passionate!
She has a very cool energy...people don't realize how plants effect the energy of your home. You can be level 9 and plants will push you to level 10.
Speak... One of the reasons I like Plant People... Most of them at least.
Facts on Plant Energy
WOW! Really enjoyed her story, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for taking the time to watch and enjoy. :)
She's such an inspiration. Plants have definitely been therapy in my life also. Love her!!!! ❤
This is my favorite episode of all time!
I really like how she names her plants closely resembling the type of plant it is to remember the kind of species it is. TWO GREEN THUMBS UP!!!
Visiting another home garden, inside apartment in big city, is inspirational. You shine the light on others and like plants, they grow. Flourish, flower.
What a joyful episode!!! Love love this!!! As much as she came into this hobby after a dark time, she’s never let it dull her shine. She glows!
The giggle factor was high in this video! Two women from different backgrounds coming together to share a common love.
You guys work well together! I imagine you could be great friends, off screen.
As a British chap, I was REALLY impressed with Niyya's accent! So many are exaggerated pastiches but that was a straight-up good copy! She could easily pass for a British person - they are looking for a new James Bond at the moment: time for a Jenny Bond?
hahaha. I'm sure she'll appreciate your compliments on her accent!! Thanks for watching :)
I absolutely loved this houseplant visit! I laughed and smiled with you guys the whole time. Thank you for this unexpected treasure!
Niyya, you are a true inspiration: from getting over and through your past to creating this amazing space. House plants are not easy to take care for, they all require something slightly different but its truly therapeutic to see them thrive. At least for me, its so rewarding to see my plants healthy because I'm doing something right for them and the benefit they give back is immeasurable.
This was such a nice video, her plants are so beautiful and healthy. I found that my plants really flourished during the pandemic. Her sanctuary is so peaceful and pleasant which matches her personality.
She has fantastic energy and a wonderful smile. Love the forest in her living room.
I like her, i like her personality. And of course her plants.
Her positive and warm energy is everything...
I follow her on IG! This houseplant tour was EVERYTHING! Love Niyya's aesthetic, her positive vibe! Thank you for this tour Summer! One of the best tours you've done!
Bronx girl here! I live in Northern VA now, but I love to see my fellow Bronx chicks living their best life! I'm so glad I watched this video. When I moved into my current house last September, the owner left me a few plants. One she left in our bathroom had no tags and I had no idea what it was. Now I know I have a ZZ plant! Mystery solved. Love your apartment and how you've made our sanctuary.
I love her hunt for a bargain 😂 You really got to these days with plant prices... I solely rely on trading cuttings now 😅 Love her aesthetic 🌿🫖
I became a plant owner to try and occupy my mind away from grief. I lost my brother to suicide this past June. He was not just my brother, he was my best friend. I felt completely broken. I could feel my mind getting lost in the pain and grief. I felt lost and very much alone. Becoming a plant owner has been a form of healing therapy for me. I still miss my brother so much. But, I am getting through each day, and learning to heal....and learning that it's okay to be happy. My first plant was a tiny little ferocactus and a very small fairy castle cactus. I can't wait to get more. I really love your story as well. I'm so glad that you found your sanctuary. 😊🌵❤️
Such an inspiration for others out there that have gone through domestic violence and use plants to overcome the situation 💜💚
So why in the last few minutes of the video I got teary eyed 🥲 such a beautiful video💚🌱💚
So happy to have been introduced to you. Powerful! Many blessings!
me @ 235 am on a wednesday morning, knowing i have work tomorrow. ENjoying two ladies, talking about their plants. And I am super contented.
Such a beautiful conversation and Niyya is so inspiring :) Awesome tour!!
What a beautiful soul Niyya is✨😊✨
Plants are healing. This woman diffinely has nurturing heart. To have patients to grow these beautiful plants. ❤
She is simply a ray of light in this world. This was an awesome fluid tour.
What an absolutely delightful person she is. Great video, Summer!!
Adam's fair acre Farm is one of my favorite places to shop. You are right the customer service is super nice and respectful. Thank you for giving me the motivation to take better care and interest in my plant, especially the cactus plants.
I hope they become good friends. I love them together❤️
Amen to her for making her home her sanctuary!
Niyya is a light in the pone community! Her energy is undeniable 🤍🌿 so happy to see her featured here!!!
Just subbed.....❤❤❤
She shines from deep within. I cannot wait to get there, inside.
You are officially my favorite CZcamsr. Thank you so much for sharing other plant lover homes and discussin real life challenes that we face with plants. I am new the the plant community and I've learned so much so far just watching these videos. I literally wantto cry listening to Niyaa and how plants have impacted her. I have my own story and learning how to care for plants has given me a new purpose.
As a British person, I can say that her British accent was very sweet. It was like a British accent with hints of African or Carribbean.
Yes, I heard a Jamaican twang. I'd never suspect she wasn't British born with that accent.
The background music is truly IN the background and subliminal. Kudos to the editor/sound person of this video. It's filmed beautifully.
She is amazing and I love the community she created around her passions. Great interview and tour!
I love her positive energy! And her plants are beautiful 🤩 🌱
I love her. She is so bubbly and entertaining. Full of positive energy. Wide varieties of plants too
Anyone who's loves gardening is amazing 👏😍
Plants bring life and beauty! Some ppl just have a green thumb! You have to love it!
I am sooo going to follow Niyya on Instagram, she is giving me all the positive vibes. Such a great episode!!!!
Thank you for this beautiful segment! She is simply awesome and inspiring! Yes. :-)
"Tiny" apartment. That place is very spacious for one person 😍
She has two children I may add
@@summerrayneoakes ooh right fair enough haha. Still a very beautiful home nonetheless
Great mask for this occasion. I love your story, and your passion for plants. They're essential!!!
Luv how your space gives off a relaxing vibe! And the teacups...total cuteness! 🙄
Listen!!!! I cried so many times! I love her (the guest) and of course the host is great as well but really loved the guest. So beautiful adding this to my self care video for frequent watching on the weekends.
I just love her vibe! That yellow Alocasia moment got me cracking up
Beautiful plant sanctuary i love how she set it all up
Hi Summer thanks for showing us an amazing person. I love when you say that plants are great healers. They are for sure. They are a nice way to connect with people to.... thanks again.🌼🌸🌺
