Nick is so cute--and young. I am 66 and have 3 older than him. Yikes. Oldest aspidistra is from my mom, and she got the start from her mom. I scrub off the white lichen spots & freshen soil every year, divide when crowded --every decade or so. My weeping fig tree is 45. And a hoya that is 38. It's so gratifying when they live so long.

"the homiest of depots" had no business being that funny

You reinforce my simple happiness of getting the common plants. I look at the rare ones and their pretty but, something about regular all over the place plants just makes me smile. Maybe I'm not at the level yet to buy a "super rare" $$$ plant. Currently I want a giant Hawaiian pothos, looking at some that are marked down because they aren't perfect. I buy small and sometimes damaged plants and love them just the same. Watching them grow and recover is very satisfying. 😊

My first houseplant was (and is, I still have it!) An ivy clipping from my mom that she propagated from her wedding bouquet in 1986! I love that thing. It has a story and thrives.

That aloe plant looks like something Morticia Adams would feed meat with from a fork. 😆

I quite enjoyed the bar lady story.😅😂😂

My mom has a Hoya carnosa that originally belonged to my great grandmother, who passed in '65. Not sure how long my great grandma had it before that. I have a huge hope philodendron that my mom bought in 1991 and a dwarf umbrella tree that was given to my mom in 1994. Obviously I can't take credit for the majority of their care but it goes to show with the right plants and the right care, they can live for a long time :)

I have an aloe plant I got as a gift when my son was born, it’s been across the country, lived in 5 different states and is still growing like a champ! I love that plant.

Omg my family has a generational pothos plant. It’s been alive for around 40 years! I was just given it a year ago. It only had one leaf, I revived it and it now has 3 vine each about 3 feet and still growing. I don’t know anymore 🙂

You are a charming you tuber- always a pleasure taking a rest and listening to you. Thank you

I'm dying with the story of the orchids!! You totally rescued them!!

“They like to be left alone, and they don’t cause too many problems.” SAME! 😂❤️

Thank goodness to Sarah. We have gotten so much from you now you showcase house plants. I’m in love with your videos. Thanks for being you. Lots of love and light to you.

Everyone should have an Aloe Vera for its healing qualities. In Hawai’i where I’m from, it’s pretty much a must have in your yard. Why? The Hawai’i sunburn. 😩 Love your videos!

Get an aloe. Cook with a shirt on. Life lessons with Nick 💕

Great video! My oldest plant is a snake plant that my dad got from a colleague of his in the 90s. My dad divided the snake plant as over the years as it grew, and now he has like 10 pots full - and gave one to me last year. So cool to have a plant that is older than me.

I have a Norfolk pine that's 30 years old, I have it to my grandmother when I was young and she just gave me back to me.

My oldest plant is a spider plant that I had given my mom when I was in kindergarten over 30 years ago. She regifted back to me when I graduated from high school. It has lived with me since and 6 different states later now back home in Michigan.

The oldest plant I have owned is my “satin” Pothos, but the oldest plant is an angel wing begonia I got from a friend. It was a cutting from one her sister was given before she passed at a young age. It is the plant I would save if I was forced to chose even though I have several “wish list” plants. The sweetness of her to trust me with a cutting always makes me feel very loved

I’m just now appreciating pathos/epipremnum/scindapsus plants and I’m not looking back. Such reliable and easy growers I wish I had embraced them sooner!

Its interesting to see the oldest plants from plant youtubers :) My oldest ist a 15-year-old ZZ plant, she is still going strong :) I enjoy your videos, greetings from Vienna!

I can't wait till i have big plants that i grew myself, it's what i'm looking forward to most about my babies

My daughter planted aloe from seed and it’s growing amazingly well.

I love your videos for real. I have learned so much from you and your channel.

A friend's well-grown Marble Queen pothos inspired me to get into houseplants way more than any high-demand trendy plant.

I'm screaming! I had one of those Shelob orchids years ago. She was fabulous! Then, in a move, one of my friends was trying to be helpful by getting my plant shelves ready to load, but she put my *entire collection* of houseplants out in the 110° August sun for several hours while I was unpacking the first truckload at the new house; there were no survivors.

I’d have to say my oldest acquired plant is an aloe as well. And I left it outside in the desert weather and forgot about it for like two years. She’s a tough cookie!

Hi Nick! I really enjoyed seeing your oldest plants, the history of each one, especially the one about the orchids you rescued, it was too funny! I'm glad your aloe saved you from blisters and a lot of pain. Thank you so much for sharing!

I love this! It's so true that the "boring" ones tend to have a lot of staying power and/or propagate easily! (chlorophytum anyone?) My oldest plant is a ficus elastica that I've had for about 12 years now. It started out quite small but it's such a strong grower that it's now between 6-7ft. I've had to prune it quite aggressively to get it to brach more and I still pinch out most of the tips but it just won't stop!

Great orchid rescue story. Thanks! Made my day. I've had my mama hoya carnosa for 25+ years + finally propagated her last fall. She is now the star in our living room hanging in a wall bracket loving life. My lipstick pant of 20+ years is actually a goldfish plant. Now I don't feel bad the leaves are small cause they are supposed to be. Every other plant is a Covid purchase.

I just had a baby and I’m SO BORED while feeding, I literally get excited when you upload! Thank you😍

My two oldest are a peace lily that my mother bought when I was born and gifted when I got my first apartment, so it’s in its mid-thirties. The second my mother got when she was 16 and has since gifted it to me so it’s going on 45+ years but she got it as a cutting from her great aunt so it’s probably closer to 70+

"Homiest of depots" 😂

10:21 I full belly laughed with tears. Love you! 😂

Nice to see you again, and in your new place, Nick!

Wow, that's a huge aloe vera, awesome.

I have never seen an aloe vera look like that, thats amazing

I have several of the same 'oldest' plants. My poor aloe took a spill, though. I hadn't noticed how lopsided it was until it fell off the table in the middle of the night! It has since been repotted and shared. My tiny Jade tree from 8 years ago is now over two feet tall. I think my favorite was started from a gift of a single leaf. My Night Blooming Cereus, AKA Queen of the Night. It occupies the entire four foot shelve of my plant shelves in the kitchen. I babied it along and it suddenly began producing leaves vining everywhere and then one or two flowers late in summer. Now it blooms twice in summer I do love my plants!

I like how you listed the names of the plants. Your tips about where the plants seem to thrive is wonderfully helpful - with thanks 😊

My oldest houseplants are a ficus elastics tinneke that’s 34 and an umbrella plant that I nearly lost to scale that’s 33

I have a rubber plant and a spider plant that I got when I was 18. I'm 48 now!

I have a heart leaf philo from my grandfather’s funeral basket in 1999 and another from my other grandfathers in 2013. My dad passed in 2017 and one of his baskets had a golden pothos that I still have. Very special plants even though so common.

I dig your Natal Mahogany, and you are correct, you can't find it anywhere.

That poor aloe vera really needs some TLC.

Listening to Nick talk about his plants makes me want to wander around his space and look at all his plants in their new spots like a houseplant friend come for a visit.

I had the same change of heart with philodendrons. Loving my Micans and Brazil. Chinese Evergreens are growing on me now.

I love aloe! I have 12 varieties!

that cactus planter is CUTE tf you talking about 😂

Just found your channel - I have just started my houseplant collection over the last 8 months and I am obsessed! Your honest and raw descriptions and explanations are perfect for a newbie like me! xxx

Yay! Good Morning with Nick! 💚

I love how your terracotta pots have aged.

The shelves behind you- chefs kiss

i love videos like this! feels nostalgic :) some of the oldest houseplants that i've seen belong to my parents. they consist of a 25+ year old peperomia that my dad adopted from a work colleague before i was born, a 30 year old snake plant (that sadly bit the dust last year from frost damage) and a hoya carnosa as old as time that my parents grew from a cutting from my grandma's plant, that she's had since she was in her 40s!! (ps the peperomia has NEVER been repotted if you can believe it, and it constantly has more rat-tail blooms than you can count!)

I enjoyed watching your videos...I love indoor plants got few collections myself...thanks for some tips too.

This makes me wanna see some of your largest plants and also most exotic or "bizarre" looking

Enjoyed this video and your plant stir

I love plants. I kill all the easy ones. I'm watching videos to learn how not to love them to death. So I just got a Chinese evergreen silver bay. So far she is doing great. Just like Nick says.... great plant

This is so fun! Thank you for sharing! That aloe is incredible! I have never been able to keep aloe alive for even a year...

It’s always nice to watch a presentation from you! I hope all is well in the new place😁😁🤩

Neon pothos is one of my first as well! I’m a couple months into my crazy plant lady journey and spider, neon pothos, and maidenhair fern are my first three real houseplants. I don’t count my succulents because they don’t like me. 🤣

I have a Hoya carnosa that’s over 80 years old, and originally belonged to my grandpa, who’s long dead. I also just got an Aloe vera that’s over 40 from a neighbor. I have a nearly dead Mandevilla that’s in its 30’s, and I’m desperately trying to save it. Oh yeah, and I have a large bamboo palm, also in its 30’s, which I got from a family member some time ago.

"I've never seen LoTRs." I just died a little...

Love your stories Nick. 💞

Now I need an aloe... I had one that I literally found laying in the road and it did great for years and years, then it put out a pup and they both died 😱 I never replaced her BC I needed Orchid space but you're so right about it being worth it just for the healing properties!

Good lord you’re old enough to be my son, lol!! My son is 31. Love your videos. Super informative and fun.

Loved this so much, especially all the stories and histories of the plants.

Love the orchid!! So happy you took it!!!

Loved this video!! I got my first neon pothos about 6 months ago and it is soooo slow growing. the little cactus in the ikea pot is the cutest thing ever!

I love your channel and your plants

Nice plants 🤩🤩🤩

Do aloe vera's tend to become etiolated when grown indoors? I've never seen an aloe look like that but I live in Texas so we've always had them outdoors and they grow HUGE!

"They like to be left alone and don't cause too much problems." OMG, me exactly. Ur too funny Nick!

I have two that are well into their 60s. Elephant ear philodendron and an arrow leaf water grown.

My first plant was a baby Aloe also and he’s grown so much. Very special to me. I use mine for burns a lot also 💚

I literally marry the life out of this guy 😍😍😍

I love the stories behind the plants 🪴 💚

I hope I run into you in the city! I would totally come say hi. ♥️

Beautiful

Awww I love Aloe! I've always had one in my home since my first apt

Awww I like the little cactus they're so cute... if a bit prickly to touch, and trust me I still always touch them 😅😅😅

Hi Nick! Always look forward to Friday 's cuz that means a new video from you, great start to the weekend, my oldest plant is my spider plant, it's about 10 years old and still sprouts babies, 2nd oldest is my money tree, it's about 4 yrs old and 4 ft tall, also sprouting new leaves, love the aloe vera plant, she has character, thank you for sharing, enjoy your weekend hugs from Orange County, Ca 😃🌱🌵🌿❤

I have a Hoya that I started from cuttings in the 1980s, my very first plant, a solid green carnosa of the likes of which I’ve never seen before.

I love how funny you are, some of your one liners crack me up 😂

My oldest indoor plant is a purple oxalis its over 27 years and has only died back once about 15 years back i love it .

Great video as always.

I feel the struggle on cutting back a big beautiful pothos. My golden is currently about 12-15 feet long but I'm moving in a few months and I'm debating cutting him back when I do.

i'm loving this backdrop!

My first pothos is a neon too! :)

nick you are the ad king

Love this so much ☺️

I cannot believe I don't follow you already. I saw you had a new video up and was like UM why was I not notified. This has been swiftly corrected.

10:17 hahahha i love that part

Im a new plant enthusiast and this video is so interesting! I hope I still have many of my plants 4-6 years in the future.

I loved your orchid! I have the same but is only some months old! I hope she will grow up like yours!

Have missed seeing you!

Aloe plants easy? My first one died just like that. My second one is not happy, it’s across my worst-growing plants. I envy you!

I have a heart leaf Philodendrion that's about 20 yrs old, keep propagating it!🌱💖🌱💖

My oldest one right now is a monstera deliciosa that I bought in 2017. She's getting really big and I might have to cut her back soon. Another one is an aloe that I bought in 2011 or so? It's at my mom's place right now and it got big as well

I've only started with houseplant last year. I absolutely love your collection! My partner would never let me have that many lol

I love my aloe! One of my first houseplants.
