    Thanks for this valuable information on plant adaptations and using that as a starting point for plant care. I always enjoy your channel. Much love from Virginia (USA).

    I totally agree. I tell people do also do their research on a plant so that they’d be able to give that plant the best care. This is a learning experience and it helps to know at least the type of conditions to give a plant based on where it’s the origin of the plant. I find it fascinating where some of these plants come from and often the history behind them. Some of these plants were or still are used for medicinal purposes. Thank you for sharing. I am always looking to gain some knowledge.

      You nailed it! 🌍 Knowing where a plant comes from changes everything when it comes to care. And the medicinal history of plants is so fascinating too! Love that you’re always learning! 💡✨

    You are making excellent points.
    For example Philodendron Verrucosum grows in the cloud forest Monteverde in Costa Rica. You can find the temperatures very easy. Right this moment I’m writing this comment it says:
    January 31, 2:10 AM (Today)
    17°C
    RealFeel® 16°C
    Cloudy
    Precipitation: 25%
    Amount: 0 mm
    Wind: ENE 7.6 km/h
    Humidity: 64%
    Wikipedia:
    Monteverde rests at roughly at 1,400 m (4,600 ft) above sea level, located in a lush, misty and wet, yet breezy and cool, spot in the mountains. The region's mean annual temperature is 18 °C
    So that can be a reason why so many people can’t keep them alive (I gave up afrer 3 tries).

      @Houseplantygoodness  3 дня назад

      Wow, this is next-level plant research! 📚🌿 The Monteverde climate totally explains why Philodendron Verrucosum can be tricky. It’s wild how much their natural habitat affects them! Thanks for sharing this!

    Ficus like showers and I was told they grow better when you shower in occasionally. That makes sense now that you said about the leaves pointing up ❤

    • @Houseplantygoodness
      @Houseplantygoodness  3 дня назад

      That totally makes sense! 🌿 Ficus are kinda dramatic, but if they love something, they really love it. Shower time = spa day for them! 🚿💚

    Great video. That is why I keep east pothes and some of the other plants I have are not doing well. For me it is the right place iin my home. And not to over water. Thank you for all the great information. I will be more careful in the future picking out my plants. 😊

    • @Houseplantygoodness
      @Houseplantygoodness  3 дня назад +1

      Yes! 🌿 It’s all about the right plant in the right place. Once you get that down, everything else falls into place (well… most of the time 😂). So glad you found this helpful!

    It's funny that we as humans, including myself, go crazy for blooms, the shape and pattern of leaves, and/or the development of roots. The reality is that we are fawning over the genitalia of plants, its means of acquiring water, light, and photosynthesizing, and taking up nutrients or simply anchoring itself. In other words, evolution is beautiful and we are showing our appreciating and awe of how life exists and thrives.

      This comment is chef’s kiss 👌✨. It's funny when you break it down like that-we’re basically plant fanatics obsessed with their... biology. 😆 Evolution truly is beautiful, and I love how plants have adapted in so many ways! 🌱

    I use my grow lights as my lights so sometimes I will forget to turn them off at an appropriate time and the poor thing will still do its natural rhythms even though the light is on

    • @Houseplantygoodness
      @Houseplantygoodness  3 дня назад

      Oh no, your poor plants must be so confused! 😂 But hey, at least they’re resilient. Maybe they just think they’re on another planet with never-ending daylight! 🌞👽 P.s. I do the same with mine sometimes 😅😬😂

    Your calathea white fusion looks way better than mine 😅. If it doesn't recover in the prop box. It is a one strike and gone situation.

      @Houseplantygoodness  3 дня назад

      Oof, Calathea White Fusion can be so dramatic. 😂 The prop box might be its last chance, but I totally get the one-strike rule. Some plants just test our patience too much! Fingers crossed for yours! 🤞🌿

      @Houseplantygoodness  3 дня назад

      A glass-door mini fridge for an orchid?! 😂 That’s some serious dedication! It depends on the type, but some thrive around 10-15°C. If I get a mini fridge for mine, I’m blaming you. 😆

    I am a three strikes and out girl but only if I really like the plant. As I have grown as a plant parent I have learnt to research the plants likes before I get it so I have a fighting chance of growing it well

    • @Houseplantygoodness
      @Houseplantygoodness  3 дня назад +1

      That’s such a good mindset! Researching first makes a huge difference. I’ve definitely had plants I was sure I could keep alive… only to be humbled later. 😂 Live and learn!
