Your voice really cheers me up Nick. Love rewatching your videos 💕

[@tristinchristenson6349]

Every plant lover has the embarrassment shelf. I love you share that. Sometimes people think "the pros" don't struggle!

[@debnn4854]

Love how you remember all your plant children's names ....so cool. my red backed prayer plant drinks only distilled and enjoys citrus scented humidifier ...thinking of using a fertilizer spike...13 4 3...hope this is not a mistake in November

My secret to Peace lily keeping. I had a white bag of fish gravel in my aquarium supplies. I went to a Good Will and found a small round clear fish bowl. Went on Ebay and hit a search on " Peace Lily Aquarium plant" They come with clean roots since never being in dirt. Poured some gravel in bottom of bowl filled slightly with water, centered the little plant in bowl and let it grow keeping the leaves above water. I collect Sanseveria species for a more modern look and this free floating Peace Lily with it's clear bowl base is rather beautiful. Since in lives with it's roots under water you never have to worry of it drying out. And I feed it every once in a while.

[@Wiasha]

i'm a gardening apprentice in germany and while my english is perfectly fluent, this is super cool for learning plant names and pronunciation as well as specific gardening terms. your plants are looking amazing! so many fun varieties and i love how you've arranged them all in your flat :)

[@Ange-ns5be]

absolutely stunning i can watch your plant videos all day!

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Thanks, Angela! 🌿

[@NoticeMeSenpaiii]

Omg that terrarium at 9:13 is soooo cute!!

[@emilydewsnap]

Haha I use coffee grid trays as humidity trays for my plants but that bar mat is a great idea! Fantastic collection of plants, Nick! 😊🌱

[@caroljobe9781]

Your plants are beautiful. I am impressed how well you know and pronoun the name of your plants..l see how much you love them. Smile

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Thanks! They’re my lil babies 👶🏼 🌿

[@Clearlycg]

Found your channel today and I’m so glad I did!!! I was gifted a plant 4 years ago, wasn’t told what it was but have been caring for it as best I could, well today I finally found out it’s dracaena compacta thanks to your plant tour!

[@ambersawyers898]

I also have the jungle velvet at 12:00. The leaves curled a lot and it was not happy in its 6” pot. Repotted it to an 8-10” pot with more room for the roots to breathe and grow. It’s near an east facing window. I water it 2x per week and mist the leaves every other day. Now it is growing 4 new leaves!

[@chhaychayy4539]

Beautiful plants love to see men know how to care of the plants. 😁 my husband complain I have too much plants😂😂😂

[@akshaykumar-ff5wx]

Great plants..... I loved all your plants...

[@Enamouring]

I find that my string of pearls prefer a shaded position. I used to have it hanging in bright light but it looked a lot like yours and then when I moved it under the eave of my house it exploded! So give that a try. It's actually a little more demanding than my chain of hearts in difficulty now so give that a go :))

[@TejanaInPhx915]

My calathea was the same way and i put grinded dried banana peels as fertilizer and only gave it distilled water and it's doing great! Love your video..yay!!!

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Perhaps I’ll have to give that a try! 🍌

[@ArianaLang.]

Omg, my cat pees in the strangest places too. I thought I was the only one with random stashes of foil hahaha. Love your videos, you are such a talented youtuber.

[@axlrolfe365]

YESSSS!!!!! loved this! Love your tours Nick! thank you for a great video. Looking forward to the next one!

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Thank you! Just uploaded part 2 👍🏻

[@katelindsay818]

Just clicked and I already love it! Such an inspiration

[@jeffbp4945]

Hey Nick, a beautiful collection! :) just a quick note - The Monsteras showed in 4:00, 7:05 and 8:38 are all Monstera Borsigiana which is a different species to the Deliciosa, and not a variety. Each species has it's own varieties (variegated etc).

[@NoteOnMyBed]

Jeff Bp How do you tell them apart? All monsteras look so similar to me!

[@jeffbp4945]

There are a couple of ways to differentiate between the two, Borsigiana has a different growth pattern, it's vining up rapidly at a young age (that's why it's recommended to plant it with a moss pole or a trellis) where the Deliciosa start to climb at a more mature age, therefor when you spot a Deliciosa at a nursery or a plant shop their vines are thicker and shorter and running mostly parallel to the soil, they usually sell one plant per pot, while the Borsigiana has longer, thinner vines and they grow upright so they're able to clamp several plants per pot to make it look fuller. Another way of telling them apart is the geniculum (where the stem meets the leaf), in the Deliciosa you can find ruffles on the sides of the stem and the Borsigiana doesn't have that feature. When mature, Deliciosa has bigger leaves with more perforations and slits compared to the Borsigiana and in general - The Delisioca is a bigger and more of a "chunky" plant compared to the delicate Borsigiana.

[@NoteOnMyBed]

Jeff Bp thank you for the information!

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Thanks so much for all the info, Jeff! I had no idea it was a completely different species, as I always thought it was a variant. Very good to know!

[@laaj7693]

@@jeffbp4945 , sorry in general I'm agree with you (with characteristics you mentioned). But I have to say that both are Monstera deliciosa. One it's Monstera deliciosa borsigiana, and the other, Monstera deliciosa. Liebm, if you want to be more precise. And about 'ruffles', you can find them on the Monstera deliciosa borsigiana as well, but less often and at a more mature age than Monstera deliciosa Liebm.

[@xorcios]

You should try the “Zero Water” filter pitcher for the plants that seem to be prone to developing crispy tips. I had serious issues with Calatheas and Alocasia Amazonica. Since watering them with filtered water no more problems. Brita filters do not remove dissolved solids to the extents that the Zero filter does. It even comes with a probe that shows a readout of the total dissolved solids in the water.

[@kimmorris9327]

Thank you for sharing! Beautiful plants,😍.. talented you are!

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Thank you! 🌿

[@annielitton4622]

The Cactus is a Red-Headed Irishman Cactus and puts out Magenta flowers in the spring. :) - Your videos are great.

[@saintsynchronicity7738]

Can you talk about your watering schedule and how you manage 150 plants? Like they all don’t need to be watered at the same time, so how do you manage all that? I have about 80 plants and I’m struggling

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Lol 😂 I just let them tell me when they need to be watered! When one is looking a little flimsy, I’ll check it and give it water. Otherwise I tend to let them be! I let them handle everything else 😝 Of course whenever I find pests I have to get a little more in depth and check everything out, but I really just step back and wait for them to tell me when they’re in need of something 🌿

[@deborahcarson5927]

I water once a week, but will be going to distilled water. I felt sad the your soil in your plants look so dry, lol. I devote a day to watering each week I would not wait for the tips to turn brown on the ends of my plants to water. You really need a better watering schedule! 😘🌿🌱🌵🍀

[@musicbooks93]

Beautiful plants! Try increasing humidity for finicky prayer plants :)

[@ingrida1121]

String of pearls it’s not a hard plant to take care of , one mistake you are doing is that you placed it right up against south facing window, The light exposure for this plant should be bright but not direct or it will get burned. Move it a little bit away from the window and it will grow as easy as most other succulent plants.

[@naysneedle5707]

Lovely plants, makes me want to move to the US because I can't get many of them here in New Zealand! My Philodendron Imperial Red is one of my favourite plants, I have it staked now as it is a monster with leaf blades over 40cm long and never stops growing even in winter. That Aglaeonema flower is adorable.

[@NickPileggiPlants]

I have high hopes my Philo Imperial Red is going to be giant one day!

[@zanyzana66]

Yay. I wanted to have a catchup on the fiddle leaf figs... I found it! Thanks.

[@christinecaney2745]

Think you need a bigger place, LOL. Thank you, always love your great videos.

[@maggiestone4175]

This upload made my day 10 times better!!!! :)

[@NickPileggiPlants]

I’m so happy to hear ☺️🌿

[@yoginiify]

Love all your plants, they are beautiful happy healthy cuties, just like you:) I always watch your video and I always love more every time I see; )

[@plantkikiwithplantdadedwin6805]

That’s a really good idea using a bar mat like that. I’ve been trying to figure out an easy method to water my succulent.

[@12orange12]

Love them all!! Can't wait for part 2!!

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Thanks! Just uploaded part 2 ☺️

[@Rkk153]

Amazing collection.

[@rasulhafeez5575]

Hi, Nick. This is Jalika, You have such lovely plants. They're beautiful. You take such good care. God bless you.

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Thanks, Jalika! 🌿☺️

[@daliamagadan80]

Teach me your ways plant man!!

[@jennyobiliseen4301]

It’s nice to put a voice to a name. I’ve been following you on Instagram and just randomly found your KZbin

[@washingtonquintuna7619]

Hi Nick I love your videos, your plants and that you are lovely and chatty I🙏❤️

[@thepkeezy]

Nice to see a Coleus in a plant tour for once, they’re so underrated. Stealing that bar mat idea from you, so smart.

[@leeloocarson4538]

Hello Nick!!!!! Love Love your house plants!!!! :)

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Thanks so much, Leeloo! 🌿

[@kristinkirgan3359]

Hi Nick! You mentioned twice in this video that the red prayer plant is difficult. Can you do a video about why the red one is harder and give care tips? Please 🙏

[@hrobass]

Ive seen some problems with plants, like this one from 4:04 consider to buy water filter, because i had same problem, and after filtering water it goes now like crazy. So majestic plant i must say. Keep it in shade ;)

[@radblook9363]

Hey Nick! I have had really good luck and growth with my Maranta reds (and Maranta lemon lime) after I put them in a humidity box! So that might help yours if it's looking sad :) Lovely plants!

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Perhaps I’ll give that a try! I have an even sadder one you’ll see in part 2 😝

[@radblook9363]

Best of luck!!!

[@nicoleolivieri7839]

That one plant that you have that someone said was a german something or other is an Epiphyllum oxypetalum. I have one because of my grandfather's plants back home in puerto rico, which was turned into like 30 plants over the decades because you just take a leaf and put it in the dirt and it turns into a whole new plant. they have flowers that only open for one night, which is why they call it the queen of the night.

[@nicoleolivieri7839]

Also, your peace lilly is not getting enough light. my mom has huge peace lilies but she always has them near bright light and they grow very well in tropical bright light climates.

[@livingwithplants6043]

Great collection 👍

[@Christina-eh4kt]

I think string of pearls might like a little bit less light in the summer and more water.

[@sharfinbean3362]

Nice collection Nick, I actually got my green velvet calathea after I saw your unboxing of it and mine is a little sad too. It’s kinda one of those I regret buying, maybe that would be a good video for you to make, plants you regret buying! Lol

[@NickPileggiPlants]

I have high hopes one day it will grow back some new resilient plants, but only time will tell! It’s up there as the toughest Calathea with the “White Fusion”, in my opinion!

[@huynhmao9514]

Love it... Thanks for sharing

[@SukanyaKumar]

How do you water your plants? Can you pls do a vlog?

[@shoulders-of-giants]

15:15 could be that it is just the low-light variety

[@SupernovaPhoenix]

How to you get your monstera deliciosa to have large split leaves? When I bought it, it had huge leaves with lots of splits, but all of the new leaves are small leaves with no splits. I moved it to a south facing window where it gets a ton of light, and the leaves got slightly bigger, but they're still small with no slits. I feel like I have tried everything, but nothing has worked. I absolutely adore your plant collection, by the way :) It's so inspiring! I have quite a few as well, but they are all in one corner of my apartment because, sadly, I only have one window.

[@kurisute]

How do you avoid getting gnats/ fruit flies?

[@abbythornton2930]

Could you do a terrarium care video?? Love your videos!!

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Thank you! I honestly don’t know much about terrariums and I’m definitely not as in depth with the maintenance as I’ve seen others do, so I wouldn’t want to steer anyone in the wrong direction, but once I learn much more about them I surely will!

[@darshayfarmer1440]

Glad I'm not the only one that struggles with peace lily. Mine will look amazing start to flower then go through a funk or like i call it leaf drama lol... or sometimes while going thorough it's funk it will start to flower?? But it never flowers in a good way or how i pictured it i guess.. don't know. I recently trimmed back my big Lillie just enough to give new growth a chance it looks awesome right now but give it a month lol I recently gave up on one of my lilies first plant i have ever tossed after 3 year battle keep in mind i rescued it but i could never really make it happy or look nice. I was tired of looking at it :( A month ago i rescued another little lily it is already looking good it will stick around & the 5' ficus Benjamin i rescued with it i cut back and put in South window and it is already loaded with new growth! My cuttings are also rooting i noticed yesterday. I'm excited! I love coleous i will have to try some inside i grow them outside they are huge beautiful texture in my containers. I have never started from seed i will have to give it a try :) you have so many plants i want and need in my life lol I enjoy your videos glad i found your channel. Thanks for the tour!

[@GotPlants]

Great collection...Can’t wait to see part 2. Also I noticed that ur Pilea leaves are all nice and flat...any tips on how to keep them that way? Mine had been doing great for months but just recently I noticed them growing out curled and that they don’t really wanna flatten out.

[@NickPileggiPlants]

I’ve found my Pilea leaves curl when they’re not getting enough light. All my Pilea are inside west or east facing windowsills, or pulled just a foot or so back from a south facing window

[@arielledixon9421]

Hey!! Just found your channel and i'm new to the plant world i have the same plant as 1:01, was just wondering how best to take care of it. Lighting, watering, fertilizing??

[@sheinasiblagan5887]

Hi there...Great video...I just want to ask how often do you water your tradescantia spathacea, i just bought mine and i don't want to over water cause it's so beautiful, thank you

[@vandanad3786]

Proud daddy of so many beautiful plants👍👍How ur monstera Obliqua getting small leaves cz I HV seen it in a shop vd so big leaves....wanna one like URS.

[@patricialisowski1080]

That was excellent! Nuf said!

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Thanks, Patricia! 🌿

[@TheFrugleWeekendGardener]

How do you keep your cat away from your plants? I can only keep plants where mine can’t reach or climb to them 😢😢😢

[@eleanorrix3294]

I was wondering that. There are so many beautiful plants I want but my cats chew on all of them - really testing the resilience of my cast iron plant !! I just can’t risk having toxic plants in my home :(

[@angelleonardo3124]

I love the crystals you keep with your plants i do the same thing. I feel it really helps them out. Its a good way to cleans and ground your crystals too.

[@pepegapapaya]

peace lilies are usually easy to grow, weird... just whenever mine gets limp I give it water and it bounces back

[@karlabc9251]

Do you have a video on how to care for plant at 6:28?

[@aubrievdh8372]

I was wondering if you could make a video on how to get rid of plants with bugs

[@withpaige]

You should do a sansevieria collection video!! 😍

[@jermaine-louiseboca9421]

Omg do you work at the Urban Jungle in South Philly?! I just bought a beautiful Stromanthe Triostar from you! I LOVE your videos 😍

[@NickPileggiPlants]

I most certainly do! Thanks so much! I’ve been a little to busy working to make videos but I have a few planned for the near future 🌿

[@jermaine-louiseboca9421]

Yay!! I'm looking forward to watching :) I'm a new plant momma and your videos have been really fun and helpful

[@lorraineyanez4301]

Beautiful plants, that's awesome you got to propagate your fiddle i have a love hate relationship with it, i love it it hates me

[@NickPileggiPlants]

It was a fun little project! Always love making more plants 👍🏻

[@xxsaaaron]

I was so excited to see this video because I bought a Calathea Warcewiczii after seeing it on your haul and I wanted to see how yours was doing. Needless to say: I'm a little disappointed hahaha

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Definitely not an easy plant! But as I mentioned, it should put off new plants in just a matter of time. If it dies back to an empty pot, still hold onto it! You’ll be surprised ☺️

[@xxsaaaron]

Nick Pileggi mine's actually put up 4 new leaves in the month that I've had it (it's a lot bigger than yours). But I'm just kinda scared after seeing how yours ended up... never had calathea before

[@nicoletorres9952]

Is the wax ivy non - toxic? You have a lot of climbing ivy... aren't those bad for kitty??

[@leticiareynaldo4788]

I love to listen to you.

[@bjorkalways]

What is the name of the plant next to your blender? I couldn't quite get it. I have one and it's almost dead :(

[@mssassysweett]

Do you have any issues with bugs? And how do you resolve that issue?

[@nub437]

My pilea peperomioides plant leaves are turning yellow and I'm not over watering. Do you have any tips please help.

[@drsaurabhkapoor4066]

14.35 how do u care for this satin pothos...cz m having smalller leaves n lengthy stems even after plAcing it in enough sunlight

[@LatriceSydney]

why do you put (what i’m assuming vermiculite) rocks on top of your soil?

[@oa1986]

@ 7:47 looks light purple loved that one what is it I want one

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Tradescantia spathacea “Variegata” or a Variegated Oyster Plant

[@Alypinkflower]

amazing but sad corner there by the tv

[@yvonnem3707]

Hi, u should put another shelve in ur kitchen window for all ur cactus...just saying

[@AS-ek2kj]

Hey!! Can you spell the new plant name @ 0.55 thanks!! Can't figure it out

[@angelinelee8718]

[@myrabbitispink]

"i love peace lilys but peace lilys dont love me, so i just let them do their own thing" ahaha, oh man, who wouldnt like you

[@kathygilbreath6073]

Love your collection. Thanks for sharing.

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Thank you! 🌿

[@pepegapapaya]

so your cats don't eat your plants and get sick? I have about 80 plants and was thinking about getting a cat but thought it would get poisoned... ?

[@mmtruooao8377]

I'm definitely a beginner when it comes to plants, but I've lived with cats all my life, so here's my advice. 1. All cats have different personalities so it heavily depends on whether they eat plants or not. No plants survive at my house, they devour anything that moves, but i have a few friends with a lot of plants and their cats don't bother them at all. If you want to get a kitten, you'd have to train it a lot so it takes out energy on your toys instead of plants (keep in mind that habit they have of knocking things down, usually for attention, and racing around the house at seemingly random hours to expend energy). A shelter cat who's lived in a house with plants before, or a super chill old cat, would be the best options. 2. Most houseplants are dangerous to cats when ingested, but Lilium and Hemerocallis species are extremely dangerous to pets, can cause kidney failure quickly. If you were to get a cat, even if it did not ingest plants, I would remove any plants which fall in those two classifications. 3. Cats can eat some plants, and it can aid in digestion despite being carnivores, but it tends to be mostly herbs and grasses. I wouldn't recommend this as it would encourage them to eat your houseplants.

[@pepegapapaya]

@@mmtruooao8377 cool I actually just adopted a stray yesterday. It's a great cat so far and its not at all interested in my houseplants. I think because it's used to surviving in the wild it knows that some plants are poisonous. but it may be too soon to tell. Every inch of my tiny house is filled with pothos plants mostly. But this cat seems right at home and pretty chill, very affectionate/cuddly :)

[@rikkeluveplants4530]

Love your videos :) you are talking faster for every video you make :)

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Lol there’s more and more plants to talk about each time 😂

[@shadxcruz]

Did you know Coleus is now Plecanthrus? Coleus is no longer used.

[@ximi4760]

Hi. Can I ask the name of the plant on 12:16 ? I got one but I don't know what's that.

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Philodendron “Micans” or Velvet Philodendron. Such an awesome plant!

[@ximi4760]

Nick Pileggi Great thx! Finally know what it is 😍

[@myshanamakisi6063]

Peace Lillies dont love me either...and im ok with that

[@nenadtarlac]

I’m a bit shocked actually - you have so many sad looking or straight up dying plants.

[@yvonnem3707]

Lovely plants....green dumb

[@plaingal79]

Peace Lilys hate me too!!!

[@JourneywithBlackButterfly]

Nice collection Nick! I have over 150 plants as well and it can be so overwhelming at times. You've motivated me to do my update video. Thanks for sharing. Come check me out as well. And I'm looking forward to part 2!

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Thanks so much! I’ll be looking out for your update video! I’ve been subscribed for a while now 😊

[@dbag96]

12:15 what is the latin name?

[@NickPileggiPlants]

I believe it’s Philodendron cordatum “Micans”

[@dbag96]

thank you

[@deniseirizarry4173]

I love your plants but boy you talk so fast. I feel like I’m missing some of you information..😜

[@nwyk153]

a lot of your plants are toxic to pets. does your cat took a bite at any of them? I would looove to have bird of paradise in my apartment!

[@katelindsay818]

I swear I’m all of these views

[@mackintosh7683]

I can't for the life of me, keep a peace Lily alive. I've tried so many times and so many ways and they just hate me

[@milakazak]
