My grandma had a mother in law tongue in her house. It's in all of the old black and white photos. It has to be about 75 years old. After she died my grandpa put it in the back bedroom. I don't know if he ever watered it. It had stuff in front of it. When he died, we found it clinging to life. I took it home and nursed it back to health. I've since split it up numerous times and given to my sisters and others. It truly is an almost indestructible plant.

Indoor low light plants is all I can have ..so ty for this video

[@LO-tm8fh]

Don’t know what I’d do without your channel 😅😅. You’re tips are always so helpful!

[@lizsurbanroost3624]

Interesting about the spider, I had always thought of them as low light plants until the summer before last when I got a couple for my hanging baskets outside, those plants got tons of sun and they got huge and grew hundreds of babies! Then last spring I got another from the same place but with the intent of keeping as a house plant, going from how happy the outside ones were I put it in my window where it gets afternoon sun. Its not even a year old and has grown so much from the tiny baby it was when I got it, I am super proud of that plant! When I was at my local garden center the guy I was talking to about it said that spiders are high light lovers, something I had never even considered before lol. My mom has two of the same spiders from the same place I got mine and they are also huge (and older) but they are in a lower light situation, one gets morning light and the other afternoon in a more sheltered spot then mine. I guess they must be a plant that will thrive in any lighting situation? Just makes them more awesome! Our spiders have gorgeous variegation, so pretty! Growing up I had tried Ivy but it never did well, so I eventually gave up until this past April when I decided to finally give the spider a chance, then I decided to try another Ivy a couple weeks later, and got it from the same place, a local box store that has a really nice garden center every year, these two were in their outdoor hanging basket section. I put the Ivy on my windowsill and just left it alone in the sun, it has gotten huge, and its still growing even in the winter! The spider and Ivy have opened the floodgates for house plants and I went from none to 7 all in the course of a year LOL.

[@ashleydaugherty7710]

Thank you for making this video and tips! More indoor plant videos would be awesome.

[@ritacampbell3833]

Thanks for the advice on feeding. Also, for the advice on tip burn. And watering! Helpful.

[@paulinejustliving]

Beautiful 👏🏻👏🏻love peace lily, just love all plants!🌱🌿👍🏻

[@baileymaple4431]

Love your videos, Laura! Lately it's like you've been reading my mind! I'm also dealing with a scorched Alberta Spruce in a container, and just this week I was planning to go shopping for some plants for my poorly lit office. Thanks for making such great videos. I look forward to them every time!

[@kimecker]

I'm on a mission for house plants! Very helpful information. Thank you

[@lwilliams4198]

This was very helpful, thank you.

[@hollyhasegawa4240]

Loved this video, I have all but the mother in law plant, and my favorite is the zz plant, it's just so cool looking, and low maintenance. I always love all of your tips because even though I have fairly good luck with plants it never hurts to get more tips. I actually have an avocado plant, and that has been a learning experience, I just love plants and am always on the look out for the unique ones, and the challenge to see if I can grow them. Thank you again Laura, can't wait for the next video!

[@lindadeclue.2215]

Laura I have all these except the plant. Love my indoor plants.

[@bevkelly690]

Hi Laura - I've spent all afternoon watching your videos, they are great and they cover so many different topics. You have inspired me to make a few terrariums as I have some very pretty glass containers. I still have more of your videos to watch so thanks once again.

[@joanneb8918]

Hi Laura. All these plants you showed today are considered to bring wealth and good luck in homes

[@michaeljones9692]

Love our peace lily.

[@margaretpervier8357]

One that I’ve had good luck with is a Cast Iron plant. 😊❤️

[@leslieturner1385]

I've been needing this video! Thank you!

[@rawdmd50]

Wow!!! Nicely done! Thank you! I learned sooo much!

[@parisday9631]

I’m taking notes, so I can visit English Gardens. Have a beautiful day!

[@camicri4263]

Awesome! Thank you guys! This comes in handy because my house is really dark.

[@denisek5208]

All great ideas! Now I was to go buy some plants for my office 😀

[@erindewan6758]

Amazing aloe in the background... I've never had one that got that big. They always get snagged and fall. They're asking for it, they have little hooks to attach to clothes and they spread out and take up so much room. Also my zz tip is cut them back at the ground level when they get leggy or unattractive. (Not all at once though) Put the cuttings in water, they'll root but it takes a long time, and cutting it will cause new beautiful shoots to come up.

[@GardenObsessions]

Gooodmorning! Really good video. I need to add more low light plants. Got most of the ones you showed. We will be looking out for the rest. Love having the home with plants inside feels and looks so much better. Thank you Laura.💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@theresaglass1831]

VERY helpful! Thank you so much Laura. 😃👍

[@eminem7765]

the B roll are so good!

[@beachseeker634]

Laura, could you please do a video on houseplants that are pet and child safe. Thanks!

[@carolyncrouch6161]

I was thinking the same thing. Aren't most of these poisonous to pets?

[@resafux9373]

I had that on my mind as well.

[@ashle130]

Lillie’s are extremely toxic to cats!

[@chuza85]

Spider plant and bromeliads are pet safe!

[@nibiruthecat7652]

I had this worry. Just put your plants out of reach. Macrame hangers, up on shelving or maybe put them behind the plants that are pet safe. That way the safe plants make a barrier for your pet. I did this on my back window where my cat likes to sit. I put 2 large bromeliads either side of my peace lilly. My cat doesn't even go near it now.... my cat loves to eat plants 😣 even the poisonous ones!! Thank goodness she has been ok.

[@laurenlovelace6642]

Thank you for doing an indoor plant video! I have all of the plants you discussed (and a ton more). I am newer to the house plants and now have some great new tips.

[@rogeragcaoili8848]

[@PeonySorbet]

Thanks

[@marthavojtko6268]

Most of the common house plants we are familiar with also help clean interior space air so that is an added bonus together with the beauty they provide! 😁

[@kerrydibiasio3784]

It's like you were reading my mind! I just started doing houseplants and get no light! Thank you!

Liked your presentation...

[@bbtg]

Thank you for your info.

[@soniapedro3786]

Thank you!! I will def purchase a zz plant

[@richtmason3792]

Thank you for a great video, clearly spoken and concise to the point tips. One tip I'd like to offer is on the point of root bound plants. Obviously there will be some plants that really don't like root disturbance like for instance Bromeliads and Orchids but most others, if you feel that pots are at a premium and space also, can take some root pruning. If you feel a bit reticent at doing this always take a cutting or two and make sure these are successfully rooted so you have a back up. I sometimes take away up to half the root system away especially if there's a lot of woody root stem and about a quarter fibrous root. I then fill the extra space with new fresh soil and put the plant back in the old pot. It's up to you if you wash the pot out sometimes i do and sometimes i don't.

[@mamamoore3474]

Thanks, I think I can handle these type of plants. Thanks so much

[@terrycampbell8173]

Thank you for the video on house plants

[@lynntezanos947]

Thanks for the info. I have all of them except the zz plant. I’ve never heard of that one. I’ll be on the lookout for one, though.

[@TheRelixo1]

Superb video as always!! And thanks for the 5 tips at the end of the video. That was really helpful! Greetings from Hungary :)

[@CS-bn4un]

Here in zone 8a (east central Georgia, USA) we have lots of aspidistra (aka 'cast iron plant') growing in our deep shade areas, but this it also makes a great low light houseplant either in small clumps or large floor containers. It's deep green leaves are great for large arrangements or more simple modern foliage-only arrangements. If you gather them at various stages of growth, they can be looped over, secured with floral tape (or any tape really if it doesn't show) for varying shapes in an arrangement. I've even made an entire bouquet of looped leaves (and you can probably find photos of such online). It truly lives up to its nickname as it tolerates being forgotten for a while, BUT while living in western NY, my daddy mailed me some from the home Georgia garden with the wet newspaper and a plastic bag around the roots...which I planted and made a houseplant from of course! Their are variegated varieties as well, but I have never grown those. Warning for yard-planting though -if their vigorous tubers are happy, it will spread, but just dig up and make a houseplant or give to a friend!

[@luzcaicedo3580]

Do you have any ideas on some indoor plants with low light and dryness to make it moist?
