Through the years I have found the cast iron plant is Susceptible to spider mites. I stay on top of my plant by regularly giving it a shower wiping down the leaves and making sure that I have systemic in my soil. Mine actually bloomed for me this year. Thanks for you shows.
I have a variegated Cast Iron and it's beautiful, but the white areas often crisp up. It's such a drag because, as you know, it doesn't grow fast, so waiting for new leaves to mask the brown ones is an exercise in patience.
Monstera delis iOS’s is, in my opinion a Trips magnet. I have lost a handful to that nasty bug. And I find it a bit difficult to strike the right balance when it comes to watering 😊
Diffenbachia is a cool one too and affordable the leaves get huge I used to have one I grew from a cutting given to me i definitely will get another when I have more space 🥰
I've wanted a cast iron plant for a long time, finally stumbled across one last week. I'm pretty excited about that lol. The monstera minima may have just made my list of "next plant to buy."
I don't have a Bird of Paradise, Monstera deliciosa, or Fernleaf Cactus, but with 7 of the 10 in my collection, I wholeheartedly agree with your Beginners' List! Others that I find easy: vining Philodendron (Brasil, Heartleaf, and Lemon Lime, not Micans, which is a bit more delicate) Syngonium, Rhipsalis baccifera, Philodendron (Thaumatophyllum) Hope-Selloum or its smaller variety, 'Little Hope', Schefflera, Spathiphyllum (Peace Lily) and Zamioculcas. I especially like the Raven ("black") ZZ for the interesting contrast it provides against other plants.
I agree with your list but I would like to add the schefflera arboricola 🙈 It was my first plant and it is still with me (and that is saying something imo). It requires little to no attention or water and is fine in low light. I love it and can’t imagine not having one now 💚🪴
I would like to see the host do two videos. One specifically for Spider Plants and proper care for them. The second would be for Snake Plants and proper care for them. Just about everyone I know has one or the other or both. I have both myself. I think it would be very helpful to hear some tips on those plants specifically.
I ❤your list for the beginner level also! Wouldn’t it be kool to have a good variety of your list plants to put in a basket for a beginner college student who wants plants to thrive in their dorms? Thanks for sharing this great video girl!!, love, Ginger
Okay I must know where that crystal necklace is from 😮 Also my personal rec is generally any trailing plants, they’re super forgiving, pothos, trailing philos, and trailing hoya especially! If you have pets, and like large plants, cast irons are the BEST.
Surprisingly my favs are the jade variants of most plants, they grow so easily, you can put ‘em anywhere and they grow massive with enough light and are the fastest growing of all the trailers, jade pothos is especially a fave.
If you want a Hoya that’s faster growing a plain splash carnosa and the regular Australis grow insanely fast, the publicalix super splash is another common one I love, mine grows like a beast.
As a new person to plants, I’ve found Hoya Krimson Queen and Princess to be so easy, rewarding and ridiculously forgiving to keep. I’ve been wanting a Cast Iron Milkyway but so don’t have the space for it :O yours is slow to grow? Mine are going nuts and getting about 2 inches a month. Only my Wayetii is super slow. Slower than my Obovata.
Hoya krimson princess indeed. I have a black thumb and killed 95% of plants (inclg pothos, snake plants, ZZ plants, aglao, etc) but this Hoya of mine is still growing from 4 leaves 1 stem

This is a great list. I would also add the ZZ plant.
The Krimson princess was the start of my hoya head lifestyle lol still have her and I love her so much 💚💚
100 % agree - these are very easy going and also very pretty to look at 🙂

What a great video going back to basics. Love it.

I hve a variegated (green and old) Schefflera that's 30 years old!
Thanks Emma, I totally agree with your list. ❤
For indoor use, I recommend Ruellia Simplex, Philo Burle marx, Cebu blue, Agleonema Tigress and Rotundum 🌿
Cebu blue is so easy to care for! Love it❤
A super video, well presented, nice chill vibe. Cheers! CJ
Some great choices love monstera Pothos and fushbone cactus
This is a great list!
Great list Emma 👍🇨🇦

I've made videos on both of them 😉
