So tired today my brain actually read "Houseplants that can kill you" lol

Most of these plants are really common in Brazil, almost everyone here could find some of them in their grandma's backyard! I was so excited to find something that is so part of the culture of my country. So, just for fun, here are some of the names of these plants in Brazilian Portuguese: Pothos: Jibóia (gee-boy-ah), means Anaconda, because of how it grows! hahahaha; Peace Lily: Lírio-da-paz, it's the same; Snake plant: Espada-de-São-Jorge (es-pah-dah-djee-Saun-johr-gee), means Saint George's sword. It represents at the same time the Catholic saint and the Orixá (oh-ree--shah) or God Ogum (oh-gun) in the African-Brazilian religions of Candomblé and Umbanda. Because of that, in Brazil the Snake plant brings protection to the owner; Dracena: the name is exactly the same!; Philodendron: the same! Only spelled differently - Filodendro (fee-loh-den-dru) The other two are not that common in Brazil, maybe one of them is a "suculenta", I don't know... I love plants and it is so nice and lovely to see other people that love it too! And to have the opportunity to always learn from the masters! Greetings from Brazil!

"Houseplants You Can't Kill" Hold my beer

I use a coffee filter at the bottom of all my planters. Keeps the soil in the water can still drain.

7:20 No, you don't need a pot with a hole in the bottom. I hate those because I don't want the pot to leak. I simply repot into a cheap plastic pot with holes, and then I have a slightly larger and more expensive pot that I put it in with some gravel in the bottom. I place the plastic pot inside the graveled, drainless pot. This allows excess water to drain out of the plastic pot, and excess water can evaporate.

In India Pothos is called "money plant". If the plant thrives and grows well, it symbolizes wealth in the household growing.

I can hear that spider plant take a deep breath and say thank you

Real flowers and plants make me happy. When I see them growing and thriving, I'm stoked! (Don't necessarily have a green thumb!) I need to get a few of these plants for my home.

Lol can’t kill... I beg to differ, I can kill all of them without trying to

Good summary. Just fyi. At 4:35, you mention a money plant. Not sure where in Asia they call it that because the first plant you showed (Pothos) is widely called a ‘money plant’ in the Indian Subcontinent.

i actually REALLY like this video. it gets straight to the point and i don't have to watch 5 minutes of giggling or apologizing for their chipped nail polish or plugging their insta before we get to the plants

One of the most forgotten tropical plants for indoors is the Cast Iron Plant (Aspidistra Elatior). They were very popular years ago but have fallen out of favor. They are almost indestructible and do very well in a dry low light environment. They are one of my favorite plants.

The fidle leaf fig tree in the corner of the room... I'm in love, can't wait for mine to grow that large.

I appreciate this video. Boiled down 1000s of clutter over complicated plant videos into one easy to understand 10 minute video. thank you

This is 3 yr old but I love the simplicity of what you are teaching us. New subscriber here.

I bought a moisture meter probe and it’s saved me a lot of dead plants. Also on the bottoms of pots I put a piece of newspaper to cover the hole if I don’t have any broken clay around and a used dryer sheet works too.

I really hope I don't kill my new plants. I've recently acquired about 11 new plants with no previous success... but I've also been binge watching plant videos on KZfaq so I feel better equipped to try.

I had a Pothos in my old house, I put it in a medium sized pot above my kitchen cabinets. Whenever I remembered I would water it, probably once a month for a few years. It grew long never moving from my kitchen. Definitely resilient.

Best advice I’ve seen about plants and I am a beginner and have watched them ALL!

great video, the music a bit too loud and distracting though..

Does everyone water their plants from the top? I think watering from the bottom, filling the saucer is easier. Less chance to overwater, and the roots can drink the amount of water they need. I never let my plants sit in water more than 20 minutes. If the saucer goes dry fast, I add a little more, then dump off the excess after 20 minutes. Just curious what everyone else does. Watering from below keeps things less messy too. No overflow of soil, and no issues having to try to find a place to water through all of the bushy foliage.

I want to live with a green thumb for a year and learn all the works of indoor and outdoor plants!!

what a wonderful presentation

This sounds like a challenge

Watching from Philippines Am a plant lover

I've killed all three of my peace lilies.. generally I agree, they were happy as long as I watered them once a week, but when I unexpectedly had to stay away for 2.5 weeks, my last peace lily was beyond hope by the time I returned. The others I underwatered and overwatered, respectively.

Some plants enjoy being a bit rootbound, like schefflera and sansevieria. I just got this schefflera arboricola from Wal-Mart and it is extremely rootbound, but growing very well, so I'm not going to rush to repot it.

Straight to the info. Good, solid, helpful info too. Subbed straight after.

Another plant that grows well is what I call Wandering Dew. I like it because it's a variegated purple. I got a small start years ago from my mom and it grew to a HUGE cascading pot. It adds that extra color besides green.

Never say never! I’ve killed quite a few of these - multiple times. 😂

Thank you for this video. I really enjoyed this video and your tips. God Bless you.

Good video. Thank you. Sharon's suggestion -- you can do this with other plants, but, the tips of the leaves of a spider plant sometimes turn brown ; you can cut those off, but, cut them at a point with a pair of scissors, similar to the way the leave pointed in the first place. You will barely even know the tip of the leave was ever brown.

1:30 pothos is the one which is called a "money plant" in south asia.

The plants are beautiful and well taken care of.

My Grandmas Pothos was literally growing to her walls, and over her window, it was SO long

I have a black thumb when it comes to spider plants. I can keep the most finicky monstera or fiddle leaf alive but the spider plants always die on me. The longest one I have alive has been for a year. It’s the current one I have BUT it has been slowly dying off. I’ve tried all the tips and tricks I could research. Once this one goes, I will never get another spider plant.

At 7:45, this gentleman should have broken up the root ball at the base a bit so the plant roots would go out into the new soil. Also when watering a newly transplanted plant like that, be sure to water the pot bound specimen and the new soil evenly, because many times the pot bound inner plant will dry out and the new soil will be wet so you have to check that. This is a really good simple guide for the beginning house plant enthusiast.

I love your take on house plants. Thank you.

That money tree is beautiful! Mine is in sunburn recovery ... truly hope it grows that big one day and I don’t have to buy another :(

The best video i have seen till date about plants

Great video! I love the Pothos, snake plant, and peace lilly. Edited to add that I now have almost all of the plants featured in this video!

Thank you for this video. Simple and very informative. The best so far.

Excellent,I wonder how many plants are alive and well because of you.I can definitely say there are some in my household.

It's funny I have all these plants, but I also have a lot of orchids which are high maintenance and are easily killed by too much sun or watering. I am not sure about the jade plant since I managed to almost kill it (maybe too much water ?). I find that the Gollum one is healthier and easier to look after. I would ad the dieffenbachia to this list since it is a very resilient plant. I have had one for 6 years, and I have multiplied it and cut it so many times that I don't remember which one is the original stem. You can forget to water it for a month and it will still look good as new.

Your money tree 😍😍😍 I hope mine grows that tall and beautiful

I love plants. Out doors as well as in. Understand the plant's needs. Even better, understand It's dislikes. They seem to do one of three things: pine, nothing, thrive, - or head long to the mulch pile. A pothos will still be there when you come home from a year in Italy. An orchid will die in front of your eyes. If you understand the plant's needs and what it will not tolerate you'll both be fine. It's like keeping anything. Give it what it wants and needs, whatever it is, and you'll be fine. Orchids to.

Thanks. I like your short and to the point talk.

I’m going to try and find my green thumb. Thank you.

I learned (3) tips I never knew which will be a big help for me.

Great informative video. Please, what is the plant on the top shelf behind you, hanging down. I thought that was a money plant?

Love my indoor plants collection it's so relaxing 😍

Your money plant is actually an African Horse Chestnut. IT gives a white flower that develops into a Cocoa like pod that stays Green until IT bursts open and drops nuts which are edible. Like The usual chestnut, can be roasted.

This was informative, useful and straightforward. I'm buying new plants as Christmas presents for my space. Thank you!

Positive and music around. No people who bad feel in their heart.

I never knew a snake plant to bloom until this past summer, my mom's did.

Loved the video ... Thanks a lot for the various tips on taking care of house plants .

Sadly, a quick google search told me that all plants mentioned in this video (beside the spider plant) are toxic to dogs so these are a no go for me, if I want one in the future :(

Thank you so much for sharing all these tips. Nice reminder👍👌✌🌹🌸🌷🌺🌻

You mean a yellow thumb or perhaps a brown thumb!? What is a high quality potting soil and what food would you suggest for these indoor plants?

Imagine life without KZfaq. Thank you!

Thank you, houseplant dude!

Video is very good n informative. Bt the background music is very irritating.

Very comprehensive! I love it!

Great video 🌱 indoor plants are my new hobby and all these tips are helping 😎👍🏼 🇦🇺

Thank you for this useful info! Off to fill my house with plants now 😁😍

what an informative and professional video! thank you!

Helpful info & video - thanks!

Love the video. Music seems really loud.

great presentation thanks for all the info .

I had a beautiful money tree for about 10 years. Then my toddler ripped off all the leaves for fun. It never recovered.

Can't wait get my plants going

Thank you. Yes, I one of people who love my plants too much. I have a problem with my spider plant. The tips keep turning brown and when i cut them off they turn brown more. What should I do.

You remind me of my fav colleague professor. I know I can trust you with plant wisdom :D

I liked the video as well as the PDF. That's very helpful. Thanks a lot. 💋💋💋💋💋

You didn’t tickle the roots before repotting...shame, shame! Otherwise, great video!

Hi, please name some plants for vertical garden to grow by hydroponics without a soil, coco peat & any other compost material.

I will put my mother to the test. She's managed to kill air plants, mint plants, and succulents lmao.

Very informative. Thanks for all the tips!

Mother in law's tongue 😂 if I heard it right

My yucca is in My living room and it has grown to much and I can't get it out to my garden and it's around 14ft tall. FML!

Guys, plants have never been so popular 😂still thanks for the video!

Enjoyed the information coming from the video. Extra knowledge for me.

Great, useful video!

Thanks for all the wonderful advice . Beautiful plants.

great video, thanks. Way back in a computer class my professor said (his first words) “you CAN NOT KILL these PC’s, I built them and know EVERY flaw”. It took me about 1 minute to find the flaw he didn’t know... BAM, DOA, SNAFU, BSOD AKA A FRIED PC

Loves your tiips. Very nice way of demonstrating

Very good video!! Now I want to run out and buy some plants!!

Few leaves in my peace lily is dropping a bit but the other leaves seem fine. I changed it to a slightly bigger pot after getting it home and for a few days placed it near a west window (saw the side close to the window droop) but now moved it 5 feet away from the window. Watered it once so far. Wonder why a few leads are dropping and the rest seem fine.

Hello from Puerto Rico!!! First timer on your channel and just subscribed. My channel is in spanish. Starting to love houseplants and they grow well in this humidity. 🙋🏼‍♀️🪴

Peace Lilies hate chlorinated water. The leaves will turn black on the far outer edge and crust up. Not just old ones, all of them.

Perfect!

Should you loosen the roots at the bottom of the spider plant that are growing in a circle? Or do you just leave them the way they are?

Obsessing over the fig plant!

Dont love them to much same advice I got today in the nursery when I got my calathea.

I love plants and have a few but live in apartment with not much sun. Can I use artificial light?

I already bought my third aloevera because the second one doesn't look good. Let's see those house plants.

That;s a cute way to say that houseplants are southern country's weeds...if you go on vacation you will find your houseplants growing all over things and people trying to rip them out.

Today I bought three different types of cacti plants potted in separate 2" pots. I re-potted them together in a larger pot. Was that okay or a mistake? Should I have instead put them in their own separate pots? I have a pothos plant that I have wrapped around the pot several times instead of hanging it and allowing the vines to hang. Is that okay or should I let the vines hang?

Very very useful and to the point video but the background music is too loud so little hard to focus.

Great video, could you share which of those can be grown in water?
