He’s 100% correct. Once you go green, there is no going back. I recently quit smoking, and took up plants instead. I have a new, healthier addiction. Thank God.

[@fishcakesticks]

niiice!! 👏👏👏

"Ex plant killers who want to turn their life around"😂 😆 ahah I think we pretty much all start there🙈

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

Sophie S. I agree. We kind of all go through that experience. Lol

[@carpediem.9]

Christian Esguerra yeah hahah RIP my very first Phalaenopsis orchid that I lovingly planted into a pure dirt mix 😳🙈💀 poor thing did not stand a chance 🙏🏻

[@87FloJo]

😂😂 I was NEVER into gardening/house plants. When I moved out on my own (at 19) my mom was like, "Here you go" **hands me a huge Pothos & two Amaryllis** I was like "okayy....? Ty??" Lol surprisingly I didn't kill them💪 Decade later, my house is a friggin jungle! LOL

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

Florence Perez That’s awesome. When I first moved out I had one plant, from that I got from my mom. The Jasmine. ...if she can only see my place now. Haha 😆

[@Fatima-fq9gr]

Yes I want to try a real plant.At 45.

[@thegiftlady1]

I am a plant nut! I root EVERYTHING! I've picked little cuttings that needed trimming on my dog walks, and picked up broken petunia stems at the garden center and put in water. Fun and often amazing. Loved your tips and I have a few more: 1. Be careful not to put Aloe in direct sun. It gets sunburned easily (move as soon as the stems change color; may come back). And I killed a huge, gorgeous jade thinking it would be nice for her to enjoy the summer outside. Bad idea! 2.Spider. You can cut off a baby (or if a baby falls off), put its base in water (not the leaves). In a few weeks you'll have roots and a new plant. I've given away many plants that way. 3. I have rooted assorted Pothos in water. After ample roots emerged I planted all the varieties together. So far, everyone is very happy. Keep the vids coming!

[@Ash-xx5zd]

Can u also do a video of nutrient deficiency diagnosis. Like what signs to look for. What does a plant lacking potassium, or nitrogen, or whatevs look like. So we can care for our plants better.

[@masonplank6627]

Yellow leafs or browning tips.. or stunted growth theres no hard and fast rules for every plant it's different for every species but a general rule is find out if it's a winter or summer grower and always firtilize with something like fish emulsion, miracle grow dose work but plants like natural things worm castings work too but it's best to research based on the plant or genus a 10 minute Google search will give you all the info you need and ALWAYS use a well draining soil except for special cases like a peace lily or something that basically likes to drownd lol good luck! 🌿🌿🌿

[@mrss6187]

[@donnaoberdorf750]

SMH, I almost killed my spider plant last year when I forgot to bring it in when it froze! It took me a year to get it back around and now all the leaves are turning brown on the tips. What am I doing wrong? It looked good 2months ago but going down fast!

[@ivak.3264]

@@donnaoberdorf750 i saw in another video that the type of water can cause that... try watering with distilled or rainwater was what was suggested

Your plants all look so happy. Your care for them must be fantastic 👍

[@burplecow]

Could you make a video of the amount that you water your plants? Do you measure the water, do you stick them under the faucet , do you water them till the water runs out the bottom etc

[@bobmoor8519]

I've read that for spider plants not to water too often & When you do you should put the pot in a bowl or pan so the water can't simply run through. You then let them sit a couple minutes to let the roots absorb some water & Then let as much drain out as wants to. I'm worried about over watering mine. My plant looked great & never seemed happy after watering but the soil seemed pretty dry. (I'm concerned it never gets enough light when it's not sunny all day)

[@fearisallie]

I'd suggest the money tree. I have one that was given to me by a roommate that couldn't look after it (I was the only person in the house watering it lol), and it was my first ever plant. It has survived several moves with me, and has been in many different lighting/living conditions with no issues! He's a big boy now

[@melbilla]

Omg that’s the best looking spider plant I have ever seen 😱♥️ an absolute stand out piece of a plant 👏🏼

[@synesthesia7511]

Omg i find low water plants to be sooo much harder! I can't remember to water every other week, i like to just water when they are dry! Lol I am an over waterer in recovery :( thank goodness for my peace lily, polka dot, and pathos...

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

Carrie Tafoya haha. I know what you mean. Sometimes I’ll look at my zz plant and wonder when the last time he was watered. 😆

[@zinebguerrab3151]

Put a weekly alarm on ur phone it might help...

[@leahkent4057]

Carrie Tafoya buy a moisture meter. I got one and it’s saved many of my plays from over watering. Lol.

[@vickihunt8988]

That sounds like me. I love plants. But I have to be careful not to over water .

[@Lemons19902010]

Use an app like Vera or Planta to track your plant's watering needs!

[@Jessica-lp1uf]

Christian, I highly enjoy watching your videos!! I agree, that the Pothos is definitely a good plant for beginners. Especially, the "Golden Pothos." They grow pretty fast, and i water mine about 1 a week or every two weeks. I have both of my pothos near a window so that it can get the green and yellow variegated leaves! Keep the video's coming! happy planting!

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

jessica sills Thank you. The golden Pothos. I definitely want to add that to my collection. 😆

[@wealthwithtess]

Love that you mention how good plants are for our health! love this.

I have all these except Jade and ZZ.. will be getting them next!! I Also have lucky bamboo, fittonia, chin cactus, bryophyllum, haworthia, maiden hair fern, and m experimenting with a Gloxenia indoors. So far so good.

[@rosariovalladares134]

I grew a jade plant into a bonsai and lemme tell you it's pretty great once it's really grown. Looks so amazing. FYI : took about 10 years

[@donnaoberdorf750]

I started with 1 jade plant in a 4 inch pot and it morphed into a jungle. Now I have 5 that I overwintered, I might have forgotten to water them, but they are fine. I also have haworthia that are very tall and slender that are making pups all over! How are these living, and my spider plant looks so sick?

Hi, I did had succulents and they died. I have Echeverría, an spiky aloe, and a cactus. I don’t know what I did wrong, probably too much water and not much sun😢 the only succulent that I have and lives happy in my house is the HAWARTHIA, I truly love hawarthias ❤️🌱

I've heard spider plants tolerate low light well & ideally like 12 hours of bright indirect light. (not sun shining straight full on them, but more beside a window that has that light) I got one 2 weeks ago that has several shoots with dozens of tiny pups so I'm eager to learn right away to keep the mother happy & propogate these nice babies. NASA research for air cleaning & oxygen producing lists these in their top 10.

[@cathytheisen1815]

Good morning, Christian, The plant I would recommend is the Clover plant, ta da - (sorry, don't know the botanical name). They thrive with over-watering, in fact does best when the whole pot sits in an inch of water; likes a sunny window; leaves fold down during night and open again in daylight; produce lovely white flowers; thrives in a crowded, pot-bound container; can be divided easily to make more plants. Love your videos...hugs, Cathy

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

Cathy Theisen oh Yes the Oxalis Triangularis or Shamrocks. I have a few of them. They are easy for me but can be tricky for others, because they do require different watering needs based on the season. They are lovely for sure. Glad you enjoy the videos. 😊
