@Reva Ferns it’s like the Highlights magazines for kids in doctors’ offices where you have to find images hidden in the picture: there are so many different genuses and species and cultivars 😆 😍
This shirt color is perfect for you! With your eyes and skin tone you look best in cool colors and this muted teal is just perfection :) Oh and cool plant vid btw, always nice to see big lush plants.
"Start small with your ficus, and dream big" - this is exactly what I love about your advice on this channel, practical and fun! Thank you, from a new subscriber!!
100%! I wish I had more space that is out of the reach of my cat because they are pretty toxic I don’t want to take the chance of her trying to snack on one but god damn especially the huge floor plants are GORGEOUS and make such a statement
I don’t know about y’all, but Philodendron hederacium lemon lime is not at all common in my area and if a store gets them in stock, they go FAST! I’ve been collecting plants for 3 1/2 years now and FINALLY got one locally about 3mo ago because a plant friend saw them at a local nursery and bought 3 so she could share!
@@manonguinchard5829 oh wow! They are very cheap where I live usually around 15$. And I live in central Canada so that’s really cheap for literally anything here 😂.
I have a Silver Bay that was in a dish garden arrangement that someone sent for my father's funeral. Ten years later, it is now 27 inches tall, 40 inches wide, and growing in an 18 inch pot.
It was refreshing not to see a pothos mentioned, however, in my low-light house, they are my trailing plant of choice. I just get different varieties of pothos to make them more interesting. There's the plants you want, and then there are the plants to live a long life in your house. I have to say though, I also love my small ponytail palm for a unique fusion of tree, bush and trailing plant in-one! It does have prime real estate in the lightest areas of my home though - which aren't many.
Nick, this video is perfect! Many thanks for all the tips and information. I will admit that it is my favorite kind of plant video. Lots of your personality, good but never boring information, great examples of the subject plus we get to see your beautiful plants. Well done! 👏🌿🥰💚
If i can recommend a nice hardy fern, the Austral Gem Fern (which is a Asplenium hybrid) gives you that nice kinda frilly frond look while being really hearty. I actually had to go away and leave it unwatered for almost three weeks and it bounced back like it was nothing.
I saw these recently and was really drawn to it, but ferns don't like my house (despite humidifiers). I may have to go back and snag one! Thank you for the suggestion!
"shaking your plant" or, more correctly, simulating wind movement, does result in stronger stems (especially in grow areas where wind is absent). And there is scientific evidence that supports it. all thats required is gentle shaking for maybe 10 seconds each day, please do not shake your plant like youve lost control of your anger; like nick said, a fan is best.
You’re correct. The way people think you’re supposed to shake your plants often damaged roots by pulling off the little hairs but if you use a fan it can help in many ways such as stronger roots and keeping the leaves clean for longer.
I love my little Dragon Tree and have been curious of other Dracaena. I love trailing plants and now I am trying to add some bushes and trees. Thank you for the informative video. would love to see more how you actually style them together. 💚
I forgot about a dracaena white jewel (idk it’s the green and white one 😅) but I forgot about it for 5 months the bottom leafs were dead and it looked like the newer middle leafs died too so I dumped it in the trash can. And saw that it’s roots were all perfectly fine so I put it in a smaller pot after plucking it’s dead leafs off and it’s totally fine! In my experience they don’t like to be dry for too long so I’m actually really surprised and impressed 🤷♀️🤣
I am so glad I found your channel! I love houseplants, but wasn't sure about them. Your tutorials on different ones have really been a Godsend! Thanks Nick and keep the green info coming! 👍 you help make me look and sound like I know what I'm doing with my 🪴, lol.
Haha I loved “don’t shake your ficus”. I agree with buying them small. They drop leaves easily and you will not have the same size plant after you take it home.
Probably, it is some kind of proverb. In Russia people have one similar "to shake the pear tree". That means someone is doing nothing. If you are not visible right now at your workroom people would say: "Where is J O ? He went to shake the pears".
Trees outside do benefit from some wind as it does make their trunks stronger, that's why there's controversy about staking young trees. Inside, a fan does the job & it's controlled.
I'm all about the mounted Staghorn. I have 2...I do keep mine pulled about 12 ft from a South facing window...which is pry too far so I do keep a grow light on them and set them outside during the summer.
Hi Nick! Those are some really good choices! I have several Dracaena Marginatas and really enjoy them. I have a small Janet Craig, too and one that is labeled a Warneckii. I have 2 Aglaonema and want to find more. I'd like to find a Spring Snow, like yours. It's so pretty. I'm still on the fence about mounting my 2 staghorn ferns. They're doing so good in their pots that I'm afraid I might lose them if I try mounting them. I'm really looking forward to your apartment tour! I you thin the video would be too long, which I love your long videos, maybe you could do your bedroom in one and the rest of the apartment in another. I'd prefer one long video. LOL! Thank you so much for sharing!
Cissus! I never knew this as anything other than a grape ivy. Mine is old as dirt, probably 6 or 8 years old. This year I sawed it in half and repotted both. They’re huge. Mine has never done well once I bring it in for the winter, it really drops leaves. Maybe divided with new potting soil it’ll not struggle as much. Fingers crossed.
You’ll want to wait to water them until the soil is almost completely dry bc Dracaena (sansevieria were re-classified as being part of the Dracaena family a few years ago and when you compare their roots and growth pattern, you can see why!) have really delicate roots so they are prone to rot. In fact, their watering needs are not unlike that of a succulent 😊
I water mine about 6 times a year and it grows outside on my front veranda in bright light. And I live in one of the hottest towns in Australia. It's healthy and has been with me 6 years now.
Thank you. These plants you chose are all beautiful. I have several ficuses and love them all. Even my dwarf lyrata. My favourite is the Tineke ; Leaves remind me of water color painting. The mature leaves of the Ruby does not stay bright red which make it look like a weird looking tineke. Do you know why the mature leaves of the Ficus Ruby turn green? Does stag fern needs to be remounted? If yes, what are the indicators? Have a great day and stay safe
Very good video you gave good examples and good information would like to see a tour of your plants when you have the time 😀 cause I know you have a lot thanks for sharing
Man o man Nick I saw that Cissus in your collection and Summer Rayne’s. I have been looking for that specific plant just because it does has a bohemian vibe and it’s just fit with my style. Soon after You mentioned the cultivar, I immediately check on the internet and no one selling that plant here in Indonesia. Fyuhhhhhh 😮💨😪
Do you happen to know if Orchid Spray fertilizer would be good for a mounted Staghorn? I know it works for some other epiphytes like Hoyas, so I was thinking maybe it would be great for them.
Loved the video and really want to try a staghorn fern. Have 3 Boston's looking good for 3 years doing well but will never buy another unless just for the summer. Also have a rabbi paw that's over a year old but won't try again, lol. I actually watched 3 wholes ads as I love your videos
Nick! Tell us, please, did the Tetrastigma make the move? You said something about a Cissus not doing so well... Hope hope hope it wasn’t the Tetrastigma! Please mention it. Thanks.
Nick what kind of ivy was it that you recommended in one of your videos a while back? You called it wax ivy but it had a technical name. Love your videos!
I'm in the process of searching for manjula pothos 6in. Unfortunately, I couldn't find in my local southern CA. My walmart literally have nothing. HD or lowes does not have costa farm. I'm hoping if anyone out there would like to trade Manjula with 6inch variegated string of heart. Please please let me know 🙏
can you do a video about the differences between species, hybrids, and cultivars? i basically get the difference, but would like to know more...Please & Thank you
Your lime philodendron is lovely 😍 nice to know it can tolerate low light levels. I am wondering if my heart leaf philodendron can grow a little in low light as well? It grew small leaves last year when it was in this low light spot, maybe I need to rotate it?
I want some advice about my dracaena fragans. I never cared about her or plants in general until recently, she was in an 8 inch pot for about three years and was fine with the neglect. In becoming more interested in plants I learned about the importance of transplanting so about a month ago I moved her into a bigger pot with drainage holes. Now, I had not yet learned about soil mixes and just used an all purpose soil which I find remains wet for a long, long time (it's still about halfway humid 3 weeks after I last watered her). I now have learned more about the importance of drainage and airation in soil mixes and am wondering, since dracaenas are prone to root rot, if I should change the soil or if doing that would harm the plant more, considering I just transplanted like a month ago. Any advice?
If I were you I would risk it, the soil staying wet that long will rot the roots! Dracaena need a well draining soil. I do a mixture of fox farms ocean potting mix, charcoal and pine bark. Good luck!
I have a giant dracena i never water that guy. When i found out it's related to snakes, I was like ahhh that makes a lot of sense. The roots are totally like snake plants.
The lemon lime philodendron is just soo much more hardy and more beautiful than the lemon lime potho!! I have a hard time with that specific potho!! I have almost every other kind…
Love the plant shelves backdrop. Do you ever have issues with the plants growing slower or getting entwined because they’re so close together? Love the look, but I’m scared. 😂
Ferns in Arizona are not really a thing… the only ferns I’ve had any luck with are asparagus ferns.. the ones that get the white flowers.. I had one on my porch for decades!!
Nick, I would've liked to have seen some visual examples of your styling recommendations.
yes please..
Yes, how do we style these plants, like hang the cissus from a hook in the ceiling in a corner,….???, anything more designerish?
Nick! I can’t concentrate on what you’re saying because I’m drooling over your backdrop 🤤 Gorgeous. (And that Ficus elestica is amazing)
@Reva Ferns it’s like the Highlights magazines for kids in doctors’ offices where you have to find images hidden in the picture: there are so many different genuses and species and cultivars 😆 😍

Syngoniums are great in turning your space into a jungle too and easy to grow.

I really think dieffenbachia is a beautiful styling plant too! Even when they're small they're beautiful!
I agree.
100%! I wish I had more space that is out of the reach of my cat because they are pretty toxic I don’t want to take the chance of her trying to snack on one but god damn especially the huge floor plants are GORGEOUS and make such a statement
I agree too. My dieffenbachia is still small but she’s the main character in my room😂 she gets noticed more than my other plants lol
I hate that plant. It’s so ungrateful.

Thanks Nick
You have great taste!
You are my happy plant person!
Hello good morning Nick.. 🌞 watching from lake Erie pa, L💚VE all your plants collection. 😊
Greetings from Costa Rica! I have learned a lot with your videos.
Finally someone else has a silver bay that's not standing all perky , this is exactly how mine looks and I'm so happy someone else has one like this
I have one like that too
I do as well. On the.plus side she is fat, full and healthy. 😊 I love her! 🥰

An enjoyable video as usual!! 😁
Nick can you please talk about what kind of pots are best for the different types of plants, would be nice to know. Thank you!
Love this video! Would you make a video on house plants that are winter growers? Thanks!
I love my Janet Craig Dracaena!! It's so hardy.
I just purchased a staghorn Monday.Happy growing and stay safe.

I love my Cissus, Oak Leaf. Thinking about hanging mine up now. Nice video.

I gave a neon Pothos but I like the look of your philodendron better.

Good video, Nick! I've never seen that large of a Blue Star Fern, only small ones. Definitely buying the next one that I see!
Ah dang..you're right about shaking the Ficus..duh🤦🏾♀️what was I thinking? Thanks for that logical reality ✔️!
Love Nick tangents. Indeed, why do people shake their ficus?
Probably, it is some kind of proverb. In Russia people have one similar "to shake the pear tree". That means someone is doing nothing. If you are not visible right now at your workroom people would say: "Where is J O ? He went to shake the pears".
I have seen people do this because they are simulating the wind to help the trunk grow stronger
I love my cissus too!!! ❤️❤️❤️
