Common Houseplants Everyone Should Be Growing !!

Everyone should be growing these plants!! I’ll admit that I skipped over a couple of these at the beginning of my houseplant journey as I deemed them as “too common”, but that’s is one of my biggest regrets as a plant parent. Thanks for watching!

The Rare House plant enthusiasm seems to be all about aesthetics, rather than the joy and love of connection with nature.

[@nichelle6058]

Yes, truth! As well as, I think, the thrill of the hunt, bragging rights, and the superiority of knowing you have something highly coveted that others are willing to pay large amounts for. Imo rare plants are a status thing rather than a peaceful, joyous thing.

[@Greg-df4bx]

Summer Rayne completely flipped my view of common houseplants with a thought she shared during an interview. She said to view your plants as "heirloom pieces" that you will keep for life and pass down. Sure, a common plant fresh from the Home Depot might not be interesting, but it will be very interesting (and very large) when it's had decades of growth. Looking at my own houseplant collection as "things I will have the rest of my life" really helps me appreciate the common ones more.

[@raefontaine8460]

My grama has a nearly 50 year old succulent and my dad has cuttings from a begonia my great grandma bought. Plants really can be heirloom pieces!

[@caitlinjohnson1981]

My grandfather snuck a chunk of cactus home in his luggage, probably 30 yrs ago. When it got too big to lift, he built a ramp to roll it outside every summer (he lived in MA.) When he passed, my mom propagated it so each of his children got a piece. Hers had so much growth, I now have a piece and my kids each have one too!

About a year ago I got a cutting of golden pothos ,propagated in water,watching roots grow and potted it in soil.

@Marga Esperanza, I would LOVE a philodendron “pink princess” but the greenhouse near me thinks it’s worth $350 (for one small plant in a 5” pot). Yeah, that’s a big no for me so I’ll have to be happy visiting it when I visit the greenhouse. They also have a variegated rope Hoya carnosa for $125 (4” pot). Another nope - I’ll stay with mine that I scored at a local HD for $15. ☺️

Bought a ZZ in May + love it with 3 new stems. Need a silver bay and a scindapsus but I'm waiting til spring to see what survives the winter. Thanks.

[@lemorrisgalbreath2505]

Nailed it, Nick! I'm tired of indoor plants that crap out on me just because I breathed on them! I have a staghorn fern that I planted about 14 years ago in a wire basket lined with coco fiber. It did fabulous outdoors in the Texas summer heat. It wintered in my greenhouse. It has grown so huge that it long ago completely engulfed the basket. It broke the tree limb that I used to hang it on outdoors. Now, rather than trying to move it in and out of the greenhouse, we put 3 screws in a greenhouse rafter and it lives in there year 'round. When we had snowmaggedon in Feb 2021, the temps were single digits for 3 days. We lost power, too. Many of the greenhouse plants died - not that staghorn fern! It's alive and well and probably 6 feet across. Oof. 😂

Aglaonemas are the bomb! Just like your common Pothos. These two in particular have brought me so much joy. My Aglaonema tripled in size within about 7 months and flowered like mad. Spectacular really.

[@Christodophilus]

I've found with the Chinese evergreens, they do poorly in medium to high light. Mine kept popping new leafs, but wouldn't open. They'd eventually rot off. When I put them in a low light corner though, suddenly the new emergent leafs started opening. So it cannot be understated how much these plants perform in low light. It's somewhat essential, in my experience.

Funny thing is I disliked the ZZ plant until I purchased and watched it grow...

Collecting all the varieties of pothos and scindapsus is SO satisfying and fun!

[@demidron.]

Here in Australia, the fern that you have at the end (Platycerium bifurcatum) is called an elkhorn and the name staghorn is reserved for Platycerium superbum, which has quite a different structure (it doesn't clump and the plate fronds have a big leaf-catcher on the top). When I started seeing elkhorns sold in Germany, I found it hilarious that they were in pots. They grow on trees, vertically, and never grow in soil.

[@DrJoshuaCarlson]

This is a great overview. I was kind of surprised that Dracaenas weren’t mentioned, as they rank somewhere in there with ZZ plants and pothos in terms of difficulty to kill. But still a great overview. Still need a Hoya and Scindapsus!

I love my common plants 🌱 So easy and no worries. Thanks for the video!

The great thing also about most of the plants on this list is that they will tolerate cool rooms in winter also. .I wish they were as easy to find here in rural Ireland as they apparently are where you are. Stag horn fern I have never seen here for sale anywhere even online. and that Agleonema I haven't seen either, Silver queen and maria Christine are more common here.....I would have added Philodendron Brazil and spider plants to that list also as both tolerate very warm and cool rooms and irregular light & watering and look great. thats the great thing about city living and large populations I suppose..There's always more choice.

I love easy growing/basic plants! These are the best plants to learn watering/fertilizing/lighting requirements for more difficult/'rare' plants!! Thanks!!
