Get these beginner plants to thrive in your home

Beware of blanket statements like "water once a week". The toughest part of plant care is understanding the factors that lead to knowing how often you should water your plant.

[@martar.8095]

People usually don’t understand how true is the statement ‘the more light your plant gets, the more water it will demand’. I’d say 80% of overwatering occurs not because we water our plants too much, but because we don’t match our plant’s water requirements with its light conditions. That’s why I drowned my first Monstera but made thrive like a champ my second one.

Well said. As easy as the one sentence is to understand I think it has the highest learning curve. It can be about getting the "feel" of your plant. Challenging to do without making a bunch of mistakes first!

Your pothos plants are beautiful! The last plant featured I haven’t seen but it looks lovely!

[@KillThisPlant]

Thank you! I'm trying to get my marble queen to put out some giant leaves with another cutting.

Best plant videos ever. Excellent guidance as far as watering and light. I did not know any of that. Wish I’d seen your videos long ago. More please. You’re the best.

I just found your channel. Thank you for all the great info on caring for various plants. I've been growing plants since I was a kid, for some decades now, and I find it a bit funny how some plants come in and out of fashion. My favorites are throwbacks from what was popular years ago, like my Tradescantia zebrina, burros tail, pothos and lots of spider plants. I want to get a piggyback plant soon. I had one when I was a kid that I grew from a small seedling to a huge 18" hanging potted plant. I'm thinking about getting my first monstera. There is a discount store near me and they have a monstera that is in need of some TLC. It's a good price for it, so I'm thinking of rescuing it. Thanks to your videos on monsteras, I will check the condition of the plant and the growth pattern before I commit to it. Happy New Year and keep posting awesome plant tutorials.

[@KillThisPlant]

Best of luck growing if you get one! Happy new year.

I had the last one, it's really easy to keep alive but I was finding those little babies in pots with my other plants, growing like weeds. So better keep some distance from your other plants cause it will take over hahah

[@kevinjay171]

Hey this clip is much appreciated.... certain draecena varieties do quite well in my care and environment...one approch does not work for all specimens good to see someone acknowledge that .

[@KillThisPlant]

Do you have a favourite dracaena?

[@kevinjay171]

@@KillThisPlant yeah I do Janet Craig it is standard yet very sharp and sleek....also low maintenance .

[@chicnoir29]

Wow I love the last plant. I’ve never seen her before.

[@chicnoir29]

Could you make a video on plants that are good for intermediate level plant people.

[@KillThisPlant]

I'll add it to my list of ideas, thanks.

I've heard that china dolls can be finicky but my girl Angela is dark, green a thriving

[@DeborahRose2885]

Do you recommend plenty of perlite for most houseplants like monstera rubber plants?

[@KillThisPlant]

Unless they thrive in moist conditions like a peace lilly, fern, or calathea, perlite is generally good for additive for many house plants.

[@DeborahRose2885]

@@KillThisPlant thank you so much everyone has different opinions about perlite, but i trust yours thanks again😊

[@KillThisPlant]

@@DeborahRose2885 it does have its pros and cons. You can check out more in my soil video if you haven't already watched it.

[@annasimanovicki8682]

I bought my pothos 2 1/2 weeks ago it's not doing so good

[@sheliaglover565]

Take it back to the store where you purchased it they should replace it Lowe's or Home Depot

[@Angie-ci1lp]

[@KillThisPlant]

Sorry you feel that way! Hopefully you stick around, pick up a few tips and eventually find a plant that grows well for you. 🌱

[@blorb32]

[@KillThisPlant]
