In this video I take you through 10 amazing houseplants that I absolutely love, but rarely or never show you. These plants are super gorgeous, and most of them very easy to care for and low maintenance, however for various reasons I find myself passing them by sometimes in videos. Do let me know in the comments what your favourite plants would be, and what some are that you perhaps don't pay as much attention to as you'd like!

Can you do a video on how you set up a plant for semi hydro and the care it requires? Love your videos!

[@kayla9165]

Yes I would also like this!!

[@louisedreisig6166]

These are all beautiful! I think the Calathea is actually a Ctenanthe, they're related but much easier. 😊

[@BiracialBeauty620]

I just love watching your videos. You're one of the few that aren't annoying and I truly feel as if we're just gals talking plants! And along that vein, My calathea is a dramatic heifer and just loves to flop about when she is barely thirsty. It's like she's fainting with hand over brow waiting for someone to rush to her speaking in a raspy voice "Oh Camille!".

[@sybillestender114]

Hey Claire, my Hoya princess dropped immidiately leafes when i pulled back only a bit from my windows and stopped growing. So back to the original place...all fine! I grow mine in pon. My wyetii loves light, on a Sunny Window, it shows all colours. Greats from Germany

[@OMM-kl1zu]

Hail the bedroom plants!!!!! How wonderful to sleep and wake to such beauty!!!! Hail to the plants that need low maintenance and thrive so well!!! Great video!!!!

[@FlowerFaerieLottie]

The ID of the Calathea is actually a Ctenanthe Oppenheimiana

[@suerussell2590]

Hi Claire lovely to see some of your other plants yes please to pt 2 x

[@tubegoob1]

I'm so grateful for my Philodendrons, Pothos, Scindapsus, and other easy-care plants, especially when dealing with the fussier ones, like my Calathea Dottie. I'd have chucked them all, if they were as temperamental! One day she's doing great, and the next - 3 dry, dead leaves. If she goes, she goes - not buying another one. I need easy plants - life is challenging enough! lol

[@dorindastewart1375]

Hi Claire, I enjoyed this video. You have a gorgeous collection. Definitely interested in a part two video. 👍 Also, what is your process for transitioning plants from soil to pon? I'd like to try to grow some of my plants that way.

[@halir4408]

Thanks so much for sharing these drama free plants! They are all so beautiful and I could really use less fuss and drama in my plant collection 💚

[@od.vandeveer]

I have the same calathea. It lives outside in a semi-shady spot in the summer and loves it ( in the Netherlands ). It is so big I have it in the spare bedroom in the winter and just water it when the leaves curl a bit. My hoya burtoniae aff. is not growing at all.

[@vicky3792]

Part 2 for sure. Raven ZZ. Rings me joy but I ignore it completely. I think your prayer plant may be a ctenanthe setosa. Love mine. So easy.

[@serenitygardenaviary]

I loved to eat Suzy Qs as a kid. Wow, have to add to my wishlist 📖✍️🏾

[@chomama1628]

I have my crimson queen in semi hydro and she’s a happy girl so do it and I’m sure she will shine for you!

[@hedgewitch59]

I thought your tradescantia was so beautiful, I bought one. It's stunning. 😍

[@annemariekoppelaar-passiev5771]

Hello Claire, maybe you could make a video about how to recognise your scindapsus? I find it quite difficult to distinguish between the different types… your care video about this plant is great btw 😊

[@julieoyundo]

I'd love to see a part 2!

[@thelioness3305]

I am fairly new to truly knowing how to take care of house plants. I am learning so much from you. I have a peace lily that was my moms. I am trying to nurse back. Good roots but had brown tips. Limp. Just looked unhappy. It is 4 years old. It did bloom a green flower in the spring. I gave humity now and cleaned the roots after watchng you. TY

[@silviap4478]

You have so many beautiful plants. The only thing I cannot agree on is calling low-maintenance plants a beginner plant. Calling them that is a little pet peeve for me. Because if you are a beginner and you only have two or three plants, you need plants that want attention from you, because you are so excited to care for it. As a beginner, my Calatheas thrived so much, but my Zizi plant died in a few weeks. And supposedly it should be a beginner plant. I don't know, I just don't like labelling plants as easy or as beginner plants, because it depends so much on what type of care person you are

[@TheJungleHaven]

I 100% agree with this! I was terrible with succulents when I first started out for the same reason and ended up overwatering so many of them. Some of the “low maintenance” ones I refer to here are also extremely forgiving plants if you do slightly overwater, and have adjusted very well to multiple environments in my time of owning them without giving me issues - for that reason, I’d say they are some of the hardier plants and probably very good if you’re still figuring things out as a beginner 💚

[@wishingonthemoon1]

Wow that golden dragon is especially lovely!

[@renatecormick7399]

Hi Claire, I love hearing you talk about how well your plants are doing in S/H Pon and I’m looking into trying it myself although I do have a lot of my orchids in leca and bought a large quantity that I’d like to use up first. I can’t remember who it was but another KZbinr said they mix Pon & leca with great success in growing their houseplants. Thanks for sharing this video, it’s been a pleasure to watch.

[@karenjenkins277]

I have that calathea, it's outgrowing pots and soon it's space! 😂

[@Christine-r7d]

Hi Claire, Great Video, talk more about these plants, they are beautiful.

[@suechartrand1827]

Love to see more of your plants Clair ❤

[@karina77uk]

Hi Claire do how do you water your tradescantia? I heard they like bottom water ? As they don’t like to get their leaves wet ?

[@glen4075]

Great video ❤🪴thank you Claire. I didn’t realize plant by tv was a calathea ! I get on so badly with them but that one could tempt me back.

[@kristathompson9888]

My Hoya Suzie Q is my absolute favourite!!! Mine has a lot of white on it and it’s just stunning 💚

[@dianewilson3769]

Love to see your part two! ❤

[@rochellehetzell8461]

Love all your videos would love to see more like this❤️❤️❤️

[@pudik2008]

Great choice of plants! ❤🪴🍃Natalie

[@NeoKunoichi]

The Easter egg at the end 😂😂😂

[@petrescuework-difficultcas6581]

With Hoyas that tend to stop growing, I found that giving them an organic fertilizer from melassis it gives them a boost in growth.

[@eckehareckbert2731]

Agreed on this. I used gt focus foliage fertilizer to water my Hoyas and I was surprised that they were immediately activated

[@katiewilliams9273]

I really like that ficus, beautiful. I have never seen that one before

[@valerieclark5695]

Great video as always. Loved your FIcus Alli (?) which I don't believe I have ever seen before.

[@robinbecker276]

Hi, I love these videos they are so helpful! Can you do a video or explain a bit more on what “semi hydro” means? Or the different types of potting soil/leca/hydro setups? Thanks!

[@squidneysart]

❤❤ Hello from Minnesota!

[@ninav5417]

Me, too! Ely!

[@kay917]

Also me! Winona

[@squidneysart]

McIntosh!

[@beckythebealge]

Maybe moving that Hoya out of the terra cota pot would help not drying so fast

[@workinprogress77]

I have a calathea that looks identical in leaf to yours. Mine is about 7 years old and, insanely, about 7ft tall and 7ft wide. It is HUGE and currently flowering. Super easy too but no idea on the id since calatheas are only supposed to grow o around 4ft tall.

[@Greenplants69]

Tradescantia is one of my favorites. The one you have in particular. Very hard to find big ones like yours. Anyone know where to find a big one like Claire’s in the north Austin Texas area?

[@rams2484]

Claire, my hoya wayetii variegata is growing quite well, bun it is just hanging. I never saw one on a trallase and never thought of putting it on one. And for the other hoya.. Are you sure Suzie q is a different plant than krimson queen?? I never heard of that one and never saw it on any other lists of hoya. All the best!

[@carolstuff]

Part 2 pls!

[@pinstripesuitandheels]

How do you keep your tradescantia so full on top? I've see so many videos where people talk about their leggy tradescantias.

[@marloca2407]

I always Mist my Hoyas and they grow

[@Tarmantarmant]

Nice video

[@Brittany_B]

I might just have to get a variegated tradescantia now, lol. I already have the well known zebrina type as well as the Nanouk and I love them! I think I have to get this variety now 😊 Also, do you know how to tell if you have a Susie Q? I was sent what I thought was a Krimson Queen by mistake instead of the Krimson Princess that I had ordered. The seller let me keep it and corrected the mistake. However, once I heard about the Susie Q, I've wondered if that's actually what I got. It has more rounded leaves than the more oblong leaves of my Krimson Queen and the leaves also have "dimples" like the Krinkle 8 has...which makes me wonder if it is actually a Susie Q. However, I haven't really found helpful information on how to tell the difference.

[@MsBoerboel]

Hi Claire, is your dubia in the background a 'normal' one? It seems so dark and extraordinary ❤

[@lorriwright6540]

What semi hydro do you use, and do you always need a reservoir with them?

[@Mandi_Hui]

I always find your intro very formal. The Hoya Carnosa Krimson Princess is my favourite and my first purchase. Then the queen afterwards the more cream variegations with the green is nicer than just all green which sometimes i find is hard to get one with good variegations. I prefer my Hoyas trailing than on a trellis. The bear paw succulent is my favourite and the variegated one is also pretty too. But i do find it hard to take care of and have killed it from over watering. The bottom leaves always falls off for some reason. I think the green one is easier than the variegated one. I want to get the Hoya Kentiana that one is gorgeous with the pink variegations than the tricolour and green one. I find this one hard to care for.

[@sonja85171]

The wayetii might just need a little bit more water. Those leaves look quite folded up. Had the same issues with mine. As soon as I put it in semihydro the leaves unfolded and it started growing.

[@musicalmarion]

My Bear Paw Plant just dropped all it's leaves and died. Well done for keeping it happy. I like the Nanuk pink Tradescantia and I have the dark purple velvet one too. They're all so easy and usually pest free. Your flowering Hoya will climb up a nice trellis but you need to put it in a biggish pot because it's really hard to repot it afterwards. My Wayetii is the same as yours, but just plain green and is now 2-3 yrs old and hardly done anything, despite a repot and a new position. Yes please, tips to wake it up would help a lot !!

[@tubegoob1]

My Bear Paw did the same thing, soon after I bought it. I did buy it in winter - I was so sad, as it was a wish list plant for me. I am going through the same with my variegated Wayetii - no growth; the same 11 leaves since I bought it in December. I need a Wayetii Whisperer, too!

[@musicalmarion]

@@tubegoob1 I'm so glad I'm not the only one with those problems, I don't have a lot of light in my place so I've killed a lot of plants 😥 but it's just a case of finding the right species that like our environment. I've wasted so much money on growlights and humidifiers and now I just think "like my home or die, sorry!" Harsh, eh? 🙃

[@whaleryder64]

Hello Claire 🌿 Do you have a China Doll and care tips? When spring came in my China Doll went totally bald.

[@amh0013]

So completely and utterly jealous of your flumensis. I cannot find a good quality one here to save my life and the last cutting I got wasn’t very good. It’s my wishlist of the tradescantia world!

[@sarahdowson7838]

Your Calateia is Calathea Freddy (Calathea concinna)

[@worldgonemad1977]

Semi hydro is a game changer. I put all my 120 plants in Leca including Euphorbias, ZZ plants, Ric Rac cactus and even my Pachira Aquaticas, I did worry about changing my Howarthias to Leca but they love it as do the Alocasias which are massive! My Syngoniums failed tho🙁. I’m going to try SOP next which is the only one I have left in compost - nothing ventured, lol Best thing I like about semi hydro? No Fungus Gnats👏🏻👏🏻 I have had 1 thrips and 1 Spider mite attacks but to get rid of those gnats is absolute bliss

[@carolinebaines8735]

Interesting. I put all my syngonium into PON without any losses (9 varieties). Some of my adult Alocasia croaked, but most did well.

[@ObsessedWithChlorophyll]

Hmm, what's the difference between Calathea Oppenheimia and Anulque? 🤔

[@mariaguezo7136]

Almost missed Ross there at the end 😂

[@natashaoreilly7072]

💚🌿💚

[@maxzytaruk8558]

Random, but have you ever been told you look like Daisy Ridley?

[@noahwatkins5592]

Put the anthurium in pon
