5 Houseplants I Regret Killing | Indoor Plants I’ve Killed and Will Try Again

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

Which houseplants have you killed but want to get again?! 🪴

[@HeyColas_subscribe]

Neon, golden, silver satin POTHOS

[@dayneleahy2372]

2 variants of vanilla orchid vines one variegated 😅😪 Calathea Picturata Argentea, Pepperomia Metallica, I've nearly killed a few more calathea: orbifolia, medallion, maui queen and FlameStar but luckily saved them by either cutting the plant down or amending the soil and clearing damaged roots or pest management,

[@dayneleahy2372]

@@HeyColas_subscribe how the hell did you kill 2 variants of pothos !? The silver satin is actually scindapsus and is very much water when very dry, the leaves curl when they need watering ! But as people call them pothos people treat them wrong.

[@ClareAF]

I managed to kill Neon pothos too, but that was a bad bug infestation I didn't notice 🙈 I've killed a few begonia and pilea just from watering too much, or not enough... not sure i can bear the heartbreak of watching them die again!🤣🙈

My girlfriend has beautiful calathea’s and she said the once she stared watering them from her fish tank they thrived...they are all surrounding her fish tank, it’s the perfect combo of humidity and fish poo...

[@shadlyn3803]

Same! I could not keep a Calathea alive until I started fishkeeping. My Calatheas aren't thriving yet, but they are solidly alive after months and months! I think it's the combination of regular, on-a-schedule watering (I water change weekly and they get a quick midweek top-up if they dry out), fertilizer from the fish, and the dechlorinator that I use to make the water fish safe!

I agree with your list... I have all 5 of those plants... currently the alocasia is dormant... hope it successfully regrow this spring in the garden...and the lemon lime is a tough one for me... its alive but not thriving.... the zebrina was outgrowing its pot... I didn't recognize it in time (it needed a drink every 2 or 3 days) so it collapsed a few rides... then got spider mites from the stress... I repotted it and it has started growing from the base again :) its starting to look nice again....

Omg at five minutes in I was like wow this guy knows. I only have like 20 but I’m already getting that plant parent guilt but Im learning so much about them and myself though so it’s been a great year haha. These were all so pretty and unique. The footage of them looks so healthy. I’d be so sad if I watched them die. Great vid. ❤️from Toronto!

[@ChristianOllie]

I have the moon valley, they are very common in Europe and I actually got mine for free on top of a different plant purchase because the company couldn’t get rid of them haha

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

Whaaaat...that’s awesome. I hope to see them more here again.

[@witchweeze]

The one thing that has helped me with calatheas is when I water, rather than watering with a water can or some other method like that, I spray the soil with my larger plant sprayer. It helps with avoiding overwatering because not as much is being dumped out into the plant and then less makes it way to the roots. It just really helps keep that "evenly moist" soil environment without going overboard.

This video of yours is so comforting and realistic unlike some others which show their healthy plants. I lost a purplish tradescantia nanouk and now my red & green aglaonema is infested with the white bugs. Thanks Christian

[@barbll000]

Love your intro. I do agree about these particular plants and I've had all of them at one time and over time they died. Many died because I went too crazy with collecting and overwhelmed myself with the number of plants needing care. It's really unfortunate but also part of my learning process. I now have the greenhouses which really help to better maintain the plants and now I'm using trays and bottom watering, foregoing the lovely pots I used to use, in order to make watering more efficient.

[@deaconsmom2000]

After reading the comments, I have to say that many of you would benefit from converting to self watering pots or at least wicks. They're a miracle for fussy plants like maranta, fittonia, calathea, and ferns.

I got my moon valley from Steve's Leaves about a year ago. I potted it in a lechuza pot 3 month ago. You are so right! It loves the moisture...it started out as 4" size, now it doubled the size or more.

[@kathydoyle9939]

I keep high-humidity plants in individual ziplock bags that I keep filled with air. Each one is a mini "greenhouse" and plants recycle the same water all winter. Yes, bags have to be reinflated; sometimes a little bit of water is needed. I've got one of those "Moon Valley Pilea" plants. They're beautiful! 😉 Watching time-lapse videos of Calatheas and Maranta's is fun! 🪴😊

Phalaenopsis orchids! They are just sooo snobby! They take a look at my apartment and say "nah girl.....aint staying!". However, I did manage to start my 2021 plant haul....8 new kids! 6 are Calatheas (including a Zebrina). 😁

[@janineloftin2151]

Hi Christian, Another outstanding intro, absolutely loved it. I lost 5 plants last year to spider mites and 4 of those plants were........you guessed it, calatheas. Calatheas seem to attract spider mites big time. If a see more than 2 or 3 spider mites, they are out of here. There are more than you can see, for that reason, I am only interested in replacing the maui queen calathea. I do have 4 others. Take care of zebrina. Have a blessed week! 🌸

[@starfirelena]

I just started with plants like 4 months ago and I’ve killed a bird’s nest fern, parlor palm, and Hoya. The fern was crisping up on me and it was my first plant so I didn’t know it liked humidity and that my apartment was SO dry so I actually just stopped watering it and let it die so I could move on lol. All the new growth was dying anyway. My parlor palm also wasn’t doing so hot. It got really leggy and occasionally crispy so I gave it to a friend and she repotted and then killed it. Lastly I kind of killed a Hoya Krimson Queen, I underwatered her according to the plant shop. I didn’t think that was possible, but she shriveled up and half of her vines died in a month even though I watered once in that month. My plant shop let me exchange my Hoya (they put my sad one in plant rehab), but I probably wouldn’t try another birds nest fern or parlor palm again.

[@sallyedmondson9275]

Don’t worry Christian, I have several calathea but both my ficus plants died under my care ! I have such plant envy when I see your focus tineke ! We all do better with certain plant types, but I am like you - I will not give up, and when I see a good sized tineke, I will buy one again 🤞🌱🥰

[@Amostar2557]

I’ve also killed a Peperomia pixie lime. It was one of my first plants. I’ve also killed a few calatheas, but someone told me to chop them to the base and put them in a plastic bag or cover in plastic wrap, then put them somewhere light and warm. They’ve started sprouting new leaves! The lack of humidity killed the leaves, but the roots were fine, so I’m starting again with those. The plant I regret killing the most was a haworthia. It had so many babies and I decided to separate it, and so much of it died. I’ve got leaves propagating, but I wish I had left it alone!

Thanks to this video I realized a little 2 inch plant I bought a couple weeks ago was mislabeled! It was labeled a begonia, but watching this it's a Pilea involucrata! I thought the leaves didn't quite look the right shape to be an Iron cross begonia, but I'm a sucker for begonias! So I saw 'begonia' and bought it lol. Thankfully I have my humidity at 60-65% in my art studio room for my plants so it's been doing well for me! It's put out two baby leaves that are still growing and I've only had it for about 2 weeks.

It was so cool! A couple of the leaves were half green and half white, with the white side having the rabbit tracks in a kind of faded pink! An outlier i found at a big box store.

[@susannahwalsh2153]

I’m going to say grow light is about a foot away and right next to a small humidifier. 👍

I've seen moon valley pilea at the box stores lately. It was in a little costa farms exotic angel pot. I picked it up a few times, but didn't end up getting it. I had a bit more restraint a couple months ago before it got warm. I just want ALL. THE. PLANTS. in the spring.

Ahhh I have the moonlight friendship plant and it’s surviving and still growing. So proud of her 😭

[@tyrenasmith80]

Are you going to do separate video on each of them? All of the plants you mention are ones I don't see many people talk about are have them.

Surprisingly, my Calathea Zebrina is the one Calathea thats doing pretty okay with me! There's 2 new leaves coming out 😍 definitely one of my fav plants, not just calathea. It's just so regal and majestic. (And ironically.. I'm in UK as well!)

FYI I recently picked up a peperomia pixie lime from my local Home Depot! It's in a 3" pot and cost $2.99 plus tax.

That’s a great find and deal. Need to keep an eye out for it here.

I feel personally attacked by that intro.

Ive had my alocasia purple sword for about four months and it has gone dormant 😬 fingers crossed it’ll thrive when spring comes I’ve also recently bought a calathea zebrina! The one plant id like to try again is the stag horn fern. I have no idea why it died on me😅

[@jeshmaharish9383]

Christian, why are you so funny 😂.. Every video has a different intro, funnier than the previous..

[@eeebee7420]

LOL!!! Now plant soap opera intro! You always make me laugh!

So I decided in December to buy four different Calatheas (yes, I know now I was a fool) an Orbifolia, Ornata, Burl Marx, and Majestica Whitestar. The Ornata and Orbifolia are my problem children. Ornata doesn't believe it ever gets enough humidity and gives me brown edges. The Orbifolia did not like being shipped and half the leaves died from shock. Nearly two months later they've stabilized and we're on speaking terms (they're popping out new growth). Comparatively the Burl Marx is the MVP and is so so mellow, would recommend. The Whitestar adjusted and is popping out new leaves. Calatheas as a whole...are a labor of love but when they're bad "toxic relationship" is very accurate.
