A long time ago my grandmother passed away and the one thing I wanted was a mother hen she always had on the front porch in a pot. I bagged it up in a large garbage bag to protect the vehicle and fur to circumstances it stayed in that trunk sealed in the bag for 8 months part of that through a Utah winter. When I finally pulled it out the darn thing had tripped in size and it was a ghostly white color. I still have that mama. This same plant has been in the family for close to 60 years now.

@grandmajane2593 24 күн бұрын

It was so interesting about you mother hen plant. Long ago I had a neighbor who had Hens and little Chickens outside and was very proud of them. I always wanted some. When I bought a house they happened to have some outside. They were fine all the first summer but when winter came I did not know what to do about them. I dug them up, brought them in the house and they proceeded to die little by little. So I didn't know if they could be a house plant or if they were just outdoor plants. That's just amazing you have it all these years. Is it an outdoor plant or an indoor plant?

The peace lily surprised me for a bit until I started thinking. Almost every one I've seen personally was in an office building and mostly in rooms with no windows. And they were always very healthy and happy looking. It was a good experiment (rip haworthia) and nice to see that a healthy plant can go a little while without proper care before heading downhill.

I was amazed with one of my plants. I had been living in a different city for a couple of years to study. I had a snakeplant with really tall and thick leaves. When my studies were done and I was set to move back up there was some issues with my new apartment. I had to wait 3 months to get it, so I had to store all my stuff, including my plant, in my sisters basement with 0 light for the entire duration of that summer as I was basically living in a suitcase. When I finally got access to my new apartment, I was SHOCKED to see my snakeplant, not only still alive, but had actually grown a little. Me and my family now refers to that plant as "The Immortal". I've been taking care of it really well since then and it is just as happy now. It actually sprouted new shoots a few months ago that I replanted in different pots and gave to my sister and mother. They're growing surprisingly fast as well.

Cool experiment! The peace lily was very suprising. A channel called the Swedish Plantguys did a video on the zz plant and said that when it first hit the market it was said you could leave it in a closet so they tried it and left it for 6 months. It didn't die but all the new growth was without chlorophyll and a lot of the older leaves had died. I don't think that new growth on your zz is a flower because it looks like the new growth on my zz raven but paler. Before I got really into plants I thought I was really smart when I bought a peace lily and used the drooping leaves to indicate when it was time to water... all my plants. It did not go well, apparently overwatering is almost the only way to kill a zz plant 😳

What a crazy day for you to post this. As I crawled out of bed today, I brought with me, the Christmas cactus that's been being stored in my darkened bedroom for 3 weeks. Today is it's first day of sunshine. I'm always telling people that a snake plant isn't low light plant by nature. It will "survive" low light, but loves sunshine too. I'm very surprised by the outcome of your experiment. The flower spike is from "forcing a season" on the zz plant, like I was doing to my cactus, to force it to bloom. What kind of fern is that? I want one.

This was a great experiment. It's one thing to read that a plant can tolerate low light; it's another matter entirely to see it in action. The monstera and peace lily surprised me the most, the monstera especially - I always see them displayed next to huge windows that receive plenty of sunlight. I don't have that in my space so I didn't think I could ever have one. Now I'm encouraged to go for it. I will also be picking up some peace lillies. It's great to know I have viable plant options for my low light livingroom other than the zz (prohibitively expensive here) and the snake plant. Thank your plants for us, their sacrifice was not in vain. Part 2 of this experiment featuring some popular indoor tree species would be mighty helpful.

Great experiment, it impressed me how much a plant can adapt to survive considering the whole idea of a plant is to soak up water and nutrients and of course soak up the sun and make the magic happen.. I would love to see a follow up experiment with some plants with different colours leaves such as red and black and anything else apart from green. I was under the impression that those colours do well in low light but could they survive no light at all? I guessed the succulent would be the first to only because they evolved to thrive in the most extreme of sun saturated environments.

I would be heart broken if something happened to my star aglaonema. I just measured it and it is 41” high with a diameter of 52”. Needless to say I pamper that plant.

You know that Spider Plant may have been able to come back even after 100 days. It would have been completely defoliated, but if it started out with good thick roots it would have grown back. Our outdoor atrium Spider Plants freeze back to the ground in the winter, or defoliate due to drought in July-August, for weeks, but if the roots are still robust, they come back when conditions improve

@AndrejPekar 8 ай бұрын

My guess is that the plants adapt to the conditions in which they are found. The leaves are killed on purpose. The plant replaces it with a new leaf that is better adapted to the given lighting. Or simply get rid of leaf that it doesn't need and that consume energy. My plant lost all its leaves and I thought it was dead. But after a while new ones started to grow. People think that the plant is what they see and that is the leaves. But in reality, the plant is roots and leaves are more like solar panels.

I've had a similar[-ish] experience with my plants: I grow a number of tender plants outside (here in Northampton) and never have enough room on the windowsills for them when the temps dip below zero. So I now bring them into the garage whenever the forecast is due to go below freezing and leave them there till the cold snap is over. Consequently, my plants - mostly pelargoniums and aeoniums, spend periods from a few days to 2 or 3 weeks in total darkness (apart from a few minutes when we're in there with the light on). They seem to suffer no ill-effects at all. I appreciate the amount of editing this video took to produce (like all of your work). I love your channel: the information, range of plant topics, the humour, etc. Keep up the great work!

I thought the Haworthia would be the, uh winner... Honestly, I'm surprised at how well they all did. I figured most would be yellowing and shriveling after a couple of weeks. Very interesting experiment 👍🏻 You're not a plant murderer (in this case), just a torturer 😉🤣 Take care and thank you for the video P.S. I wonder if all the stored up moisture in the leaves of the Haworthia was its downfall. The stored ' water' in the leaves going bad because of zero photosynthesis to keep it fresh? With the way it began to rot and get slimy

I think that sounds like a sensible theory 😁

@TheNetsrac 8 ай бұрын

Just a wild theory/guess from an almost level two-ish Plant Padawan Well, it makes some sort of sense anyway Like I said I figured all of of the plants would do much worse in total darkness Thank you for taking one for the team and doing this experiment 👍🏻 I'm much less worried about leaving my precious plants in shady conditions for a week now

Very good. I now know which plants I’m putting in my low-light bathroom (North window). I’ll just tell them to blame Richard!

I think your theory with the ZZ plant is a good guess. Plants that aren't usually big on flowers will push one out if it senses that it is close to the end of its life cycle. It's a last-ditch effort to continue its genes. I'm surprised the fern struggled so quickly because ferns prefer heavy shade anyway.

My neighbour threw away a ZZ plant, into a skip.Well, I fished it out and put it on a pedestal so it didn't droop on the ground. It revived. I thought it was a cycad and probably did everything wrong, but it didn't care.

I know this is a month old, but I just found it today and just started watching. Someone else did a similar experiment and the ZZ Plant was the clear winner, so that will be my prediction

I know you are not a big peace lily fan, but I love them! They are so resilient! My money was certainly not on the spider plant! I lived in an appartement in a basement when I was 18. I had a few spider plants I put on the windowsill and they all dies within a few months.

I’ve never had good luck with Spider plants not surprised it was the first to go. I’m really impressed by the Peace Lily, I had one for a couple of years but I killed it, think I burned the roots with fertilizer 😢, but this was an amazing experiment, thank you for sharing it with us.
