Even if you're not a plant newbie, brushing up on some basic plant knowledge is always encouraged. And you should feel free to share your knowledge too in the comments below!
The first Houseplant 101 episode is on Assessing our Space and figuring out the right plant for the right place in your home. Enjoy!

I actually felt breathing the cleanest air from watching this video
Falling in love with plants on Instagram is too easy, specially because people place the plants on unrealistic areas just for a pic...
Miriam M. Hopefully they are just there for the photo and get moved to a proper spot later...
Every new plant owner should watch this. In fact, experienced plant owners would probably learn something here too. Thorough explanations and very informative. Thank you.
Pleased that you found it useful.
I live in a really dark room, I grow mushroom instead
Get a lamp 🌞
Does it get stuffy when they spore?
Thats smart!
try growing lights!
Magical ones
You literally live in a green house 🏡 🌱
Indeed and I'm jealous...
I love her home with all the beautiful plants.
Can you imagine the level of anxiety if you had all these plants and had to leave town for a few days?
o0o0o0o yes i know that... that's why i use drip irrigation and its very handy.. saved my mind and plants
or when you have plants like these you don't need to leave anywhere for few days :)))
You can leave for a week. No problem. Just don’t buy those which require moisture everywhere and you will be fine.
If leaving for a longer vacation, one would have to hire a plant sitter xD
When my neighbours leave town, some of them usually ask me if I can water their plants and of course I do. I myself use water reservoir pots (or I create them myself, usually with pots for orchids as they taper at the bottom so my pot will get stuck after 2/3 of the pot, all that is left is a at least 0,5 cm thick string made of cotton) or drip devices or I might think about something new, it works with electricity, little pumps that hang in a jar of water and they pump little amounts into the flower pot over the day.
If you use bentonite in your soil, it holds more water, some types of soil hold more water to begin with, you can experiment with this (the fun never stops! :D).
If you are from Germany, I use the soil of „Lubera“, beste Erde überhaupt. Hält Wasser ohne Ende.
This video is great, I love you being the representative of all the young people getting into the hobby! I feel really lucky getting to watch your greatly produced videos and learn from you ❤️🏵️
Thank you for such a lovely note. Very pleased you're enjoying the extra efforts and touches to the video.
You're so informative. Summer would you be able to test the air quality of your apartment & maybe upload it in one of your future videos? I am dying to know if that many plants will make a significant difference in air quality. Much love
haha maybe. If I can find an affordable way to do it and have a baseline.
Omg I’m dying to know too!!!
Ji yoo I think NASA has done some research on this maybe you should look there!
Helen Catt Yes I already read into it. That was different since it was in an enclosed space. It’s not the same with our homes.
DITTO, for me as well, Summer Rayne! Please.
I'm on the verge of a pannick attack in self isolation, can't sleep for 2 days and your soothing voice and beautiful house just made me feel so fuzzy on the inside. Thank you
Hope you’re feeling a little better. You’re not alone, no matter how far apart we are.
@@Hannah-nh5qj I am, thank you so much. Have a great day 🍀
Watch comedy and plant videos. 😁🌱Forever! Now you can also watch Flock Finger Lakes to see the rest of the story. 🏞️🚜🌳🌲🌲🌲Travel along with these videos and they and even comments will connect you with others.
My wife and I love watching your videos. Thanks for the hard work and knowledge bombs.
My pleasure. So thrilled you're both tuning in. :)
This is the most helpful, I repeat THE MOST HELPFUL plant video I’ve EVER seen. Thank you for the time you took to prepare this.
A superb video, especially for beginners. I love how you break it down and explain it in a simple and straightforward manner.
Very pleased!
first came on to her from seeing her in the news. Didn't realize she's making a career out of this.
This video series seems to be exactly what i was looking for. Her delivery is precise and slow enough to where I can process what she's saying and not have to rewind the video (most people I've seen speak a mile a minute). I also love the video quality of this. Looking forward to watching the others.
Wow. Today, I literally was trying to rearrange my plants according to the natural lighting in my home. I was also looking for a light meter. ..then, you upload this video. Very informative and helpful. Thank you! 😊
Very pleased it came at the right time for you!
She's like a crazy cat lady, but with plants.
And that is why I aspire to be her
If she becomes a supervillain i know who she'd be
But she's more environmentally friendly than a cat lady. Lots of cats fill up landfills and kills so many birds. We should all aspire to be more like the plant lady.
Cat poop anywhere. I hate cat lady, because they just hug and adore the cute little kitty. But the cat poop on her neighbor's soil.
I have one such neighbor, her cat poop on my shallot pots and garlic pots. I finally tired of cleaning their poo for 2 weeks straight. So i put many small nails under my soil.
Yes the cat injured his foot. But dont blame me. I am not the one let loose a pet.
@@eilexion Would you be okay if she stabbed your plants leaves?
This is simply one of the best videos on plants I have ever watched on CZcams, and it is going to help me with bringing my houseplants into the home over autumn and winter for the first time since I bought them and had them outside over spring and summer. I now understand how to gauge the correct amount of light for my plants, and I hope it'll ensure survival of them. Thank you for putting out this video for plant-parent-hopefuls like me.
I've just started buying and taking care of plants and this has to be, hands down, the best video that I have watched so far. A very scientific take, very structured and I am so glad I found this!
Wow that was the most adorable way to tell about skin cancer, I'm on love with that girl.. subscribed and waiting for new episode, that s literally the best channel about house plants :3
3:20 i was shocked to know that was your kitchen..!!
Maybe she is not eating or cooking there ;-)
i learn how i care when i kill a plant.. now i have 44 perfect and happy plants. :D
but i need more and more!! =D
(sorry my english, i'm from Portugal)
Thank you so so much for how much detail you went into and how far down you broke light requirements. I had no idea what low-medium and highlight were supposed to mean for houseplants, but this helps me think like a plant, thank you!!
You are such a great teacher. The best plant 101 video I’ve ever watched. Thanks so much!
Thank you! I just started my indoor plant journey and am so grateful for your videos!
I love gardening and I have quite a few plants inside my home and in the balcony. I find your videos super informative and extremely refreshing ! I can watch them back to back ! Lots of love and power to you ! 💕
Your home is beautiful! Love the light coming through the windows and leaves giving everything that natural and green color
I’ve been binge watching plant videos these days. All plant lovers are nice and kind. But you are the exact plant role model I’ve been looking for 😱😱
Starting the journey with observing and understanding light is so refreshing and inspiring. I wish I knew this from the beginning but as you said, not all hope is lost 🍀🍀
Thanks for making botany cool! So informative. I appreciate all of the work you put into creating your videos💕
Greetings from Poland
I have 20 plants in my apartment already but I can’t stop because of you. YOU TRULY INSPIRE ME
Imagine how clean the air she breaths in
What a wealth of information, Summer. It is such a pleasure watching you talk about your passion in such detail. Thank you for inspiring me to dig deeper into the world of home gardening. Keep up the good work!
Wow! Thank you for this well thought out and explained video. My plant obsession is fairly new but the more that I learn, the more important I am realizing that the level of light I am able to provide is. All new plant lovers need to see this.
I honestly can not express how much I appreciated every second of this video, Summer. I needed this info so badly a few years ago when I 1st began growing houseplants and I've since learned much of this by trial and error BUT I still learned so much from this video and information mainly because of the excellent way you were able to actually demonstrate lighting situations!!! I feel so much better equipped to properly figure out and assess my own lighting situations now and that is invaluable. You know how much I LOVE your videos but I'll say it again...love what you're doing and I am always thankful! 😊 ~Len 💚🌿💚🙏🏽
Finally someone who addresses light! Thank you!!
Great video Summer im so glad you explained the light and showed it as well such a good teacher thanks so much❤
I'm glad to share and so thrilled it made sense!
All your plants are lovely but I am in awe with your succulents
Summer - you saved my life. I always went out and bought some random plants when I thought they look beautiful. Nearly all plants died on me and I always thought it’s my fault and I only bought some plastic plants cause I didn’t wanna kill them all. Now I can start to grow some plants in the condition they need. Thanks for giving your advice. Now I’m excited to start my home garden.
This video is a tour de force!
Fyi: I still use an actual compass. No service? I can still get you there 😊👍
totes. You got us!
Same! Hiking in Scotland you’d be underprepared and quite lost without one! Lovely content in this video, Summer. So, so knowledgeable.
This was so helpful, so informative and clearly and concisely delivered. Thank you so much 😊🌱🍀
Glad you found it useful and enjoyable!
I absolutely LOVED this video, it is full of useful information and you explain things in a way that’s very engaging. Loved it!
Love these types of videos we are getting recently, lighting is so hard to figure out! I'd love more in depth info on grow lights and how to use them properly. What types, the light they give out, how to set them up and how near your plants they need to be etc.
Oh my god so beautiful how do you have time to water them all
Beyond amazing video here! This woman is on another level on plant care - super zen! Learnt alot so thanks!
This is a really nice explanation of light. Will help me keep things in mind when I'm moving out of the apartment!
Thanks for tuning in and letting me know!
I only clicked on this video because your home is so beautiful with all the plants.i stayed because of the beauty too and now I know a lot about plants😂😂
Your explanation of light helped me so very much. Thank you.
Imagine moving to a new place with all these plants
I just moved to a new place and the first thing I moved were the plants lol. The toughest ones were my 2 foot tall Palm tree and my 2 foot Spider plant with four babies attached but somehow I did it lol!!
Imagine a fire!
Thank you for your amazing and informative videos, as always. With your help I have transformed my previously black thumb into a green one over the last few years and now have a collection of thriving beauties.
I absolutely loved this video. I love how you broke down lighting. Thank you thank you
My pleasure. Thanks for tuning in!
What a wonderful video about something that most people don't send enough time thinking about. Thank you!
My pleasure!
Finally found the content ive been looking for! Love how its organized by episode! Thank you! Currently binging your content!
You are downright delightful. Thanks for the good info!
my pleasure!
I just discovered this channel and it is the best thing ever. Simply awesome, thank you! So much to learn on this plant caring journey :)
Wow, you've really, gone all out with your plant growing. Love all the warm, earthy, tones you have throughout your place, from what I see in this video, apart from the plants themselves. Even though you appear to have a lot of brick walls, they are not harsh or cold, at all. I'm relaxing here, simply, by looking at the images. Why people prefer to have everything white and bare is utterly, beyond me.
I'm in the middle of a blizzard right now, as I type this, on January 17th, 2020, so this is such a treat for me. So would love to be there, right now, amoung all those beautiful plants you have. You may have killed many plants in the past, but you certainly, seem to be doing a damn, fine job now.
My Best. Best of 2020. Out.
I've just discovered your channel
You're my new favourite human.
I watching this video triple times, thanks for your sharing.
Ohh Girl I thought I was bananas having all this plants in my department but seen your I still not on that extreme yet😂
Definitely love ❤️ all your videos and your kindness with all that information ❤️🙏
Wow, so much information. I'm so glad someone told me about this channel.
Great tips. I'm glad that CZcams recommend me your channel.
Simply amazing all the plants you have in your home! I live in a warehouse with no windows. After a couple years I finally got grow lights as I missed having plants! It is a learning curve but despite loosing a couple I have many. Home depot is really good about refunds when you keep the receipt and original pot if you do kill one. Thanks for your information as it probably saved quite a few plant friends!
THIS WAS THE MOST IN DEPTH INFORMATIVE VIDEO I NEEDED TO WATCH! I have a south facing window that barely receieves light, maybe an hour a day in Winter and a few hours in the summer, but i can tell it's burned some leaves on my Song of India plant, and that my grow lights may have damaged my Skindaptus Pictus! Thank you so much for touching on this, big help!! I know what to do now!
Ooooh Summer!! This is like 10 years to late but so necessary!!! I LOVE IT!!! WooHoo!!! Thank You!!!
Wow! Such a great, informative video. Thank you.
Thank you your the high light of my day. I can't wait to get my hands on your book.
My pleasure! Thanks for tuning in. And if you preorder my book, don't forget to get the free digital items too!
I couldnt help but notice Joey's photograph in your living room 👌👏
Thank you for your tips. That's absolutely right I need all 3 basic to find out that information you share. Love your show.... more blessings...💜🧘♀️
Loved this video. So informative and clearly explained. Thanks Summer!!!
my pleasure!
I can't say I'm your first subscriber, but have been on the journey since Plant One On Me episode 001. This one is great, but I'm still waiting on your episode about pots and planters. You have the coolest around.
Thanks! Hopefully you get a first hand look at my planters/pots on the #365DaysofPlants too!
This video is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing with us all your knowledge! I am just obsessed with your videos LOL. I am like you, I love waking up with the sunrise and following the light throughout the day. And I know that I am the kind of person that is always checking how my plants are doing. We can learn so much through observation itself, but a little help is always welcome as well ^^
Love your home and your plants.Thanks for sharing this. Happy greetings from Germany 😃
I love her info! I’ve learned a ton With her lol. As always she’s good at what she does
Love love love this episode. Very informative
glad you are enjoying!
I really appreciate the intro. I always just thought I had a black thumb because I even killed a few succulents but the more I tried and kept at it, the more I realized that wasn't true! This year I even forayed into growing food and it worked out pretty well. :) Much better than I expected. Nowadays most of my plants stay alive!
Hey Summer &Greetings from middle of nowhere! :) Great video (you are terrific speaker/orator, I like how well organized &thought out your message is &whoever does the filming/editing is doing an awesome job), love your channel. Have a very pleasant day!
Hi Alex! Thanks for tuning in and I'm so thrilled you're enjoying the videos. Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Hi Summer, I appreciate your sharing. It's very helpful to me. Hope more plants in this crazy world!

You’re videos are so positive, thank you

My pleasure. Thanks for tuning in!
You are so on the spot! I love your videos

How have you learned all this knowledge? Even most experienced planters don’t seem to know as much or explain as clearly as you do
Thank you 😂👍🏻
I've got plants that were thrown away and not knowing how to care for them, this helps.
Love !!!. I live in a condo with limited space. Thank you so much for the information.
thank you! this is very helpful! before i stumbled upon this video, i've tried observing the light coming to my home using a compass app and a lightmeter app. i guess i did the right thing
Thank you so much Summer 💖 these are amazing tips to send to my friends thank you!!!

Love your vids. I have learned more about common housr plants from.here than anywhere else
My pleasure. Thanks for tuning in!
This is the first video I watched on houseplants, a year ago, in preparation for my first houseplant haul. I had never heard of some of these plants till then! I took notes which I still keep. I come back to this channel constantly for information, as well as for enternainment :)
