A couple years ago, I would have agreed with you on the ZZ, but since I rehabbed one recently, as well as got a Black Raven (that was half rotting in the store which I'm also rehabilitating), I would say that ZZ belongs in B tier. The stalks and leaves add a nice contrast to a collection, and when some of the stalks - like yours - don't grow straight up, the plant looks very whimsical and expressive.

[@jackrice2770]

Thanks for your ranking tour. We all have our personal loves/hates with plants, and I get what you like and don't like. I'd like to comment on the issue of light: Most 'house' plants are, of course, semi-tropical or tropical plants. One must keep in mind plants that grow in the tropics (that is, between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn) do not experience great variation in day length, like plants from temperate zones. What they do experience in Nature is dry/wet seasons. Some will go dormant periodically, and some actually must have a dormant period. So...if you try to grow them in northern latitudes without supplementing the light in the winter, they're going to struggle. If it's a plant that needs to periodically go dormant, you just have to let it do its thing, knowing it will come roaring back come spring. If you accept the natural growth habits of the plant in question, your life with plants will be much more rewarding. Tradescantias, for example, I think of as the perfect plant for surgeons...cut, cut, cut...(that's the punchline to a joke I won't tell here). If you cut the damned thing back it won't get all scraggly and ugly. That being said, I've got a plain green one that's in a four inch pot and it's run all over a 6'x6' shelving unit, and still looks nice and green. It's not spectacular, but it does add to the jungle look. I've become convinced the only way to grow truly great philodendrons, monsteras and pothos is with a sphagnum moss pole. They want to climb something like a tree, and they are in many cases using those trees and those big aerial roots to get water and nutrition. I've seen monsteras in Florida climb thirty feet into a live oak tree. Thanks for all your great videos. Your tip on using aquarium conditioner in your watering to stop 'crispy' leaves works. My spider and calathea now produce lovely green leaves with no potato chips!

Hi, Ron here in the US. I grow alot of house plants. I have been taking care of an Oxalis that an Aunt gave me for 25 years. Fantastic plant I have learned some things: Transplant only a FEW tubers into a bigger pot, pointy end up. Enough for the coverage you want. It is very prolific and will spread on its own.You won't have to transplant again for a few years. Dry the extra then put your excess tubers in a paper bag. They last forever. I start smaller pots to give to friends or sell them You said you were just coming into spring. Take the scissors to everything growing in that pot. Oxalis is perrenial. It gets scaggly in winter. It will start to regrow in a week or so. Keep them moist. Move it to a sunny location The more sun and light, the less floppy it is and will have shorter leaf stems. It will tolerate direct Sun, even all day, but you sacrifice having the leaves open until the direct sun moves away. I'm sure you know the leaves close at night. They also will close during the day if the plant is unhappy or stressed (needs water, etc.and in hot direct sun). Great channel.

Highly recommend! ❤

[@laschlein9470]

Once i bought 3 "string of..." cuttings from a seller on etsy, all aboit 3 or 4 cms each. Hearts, pearls, turtles. I was a plant newbie at the time and all the cuttings died before they rooted. EXCEPT my brave little string of hearts. Years later and she's still going strong (several metres long, her own offcuts rooting nicely elsewhere too) and she wont stop flowering! I'm in london so not a super different climate from you. But ive found the cuttings really take root well in a moss/perlite mix, covered with clingfilm (w a couple of small holes for ventilation) and kept moist. An established plant though can handle being underwatered!

Mr Sheffield 🌱 I'm not too far away from you in the UK and String of Hearts does pretty well for me. Got it next to a grow light now but used to have it in a North Facing window and it was always growing & blooming. I'd recommend putting it in a normal sized plant pot, as I've noticed quite a lot of people plant them in shallow bowls but, they have a decent sized root system. Just use the taco test on the leaves to see when they need to be watered, which is not too often, and lay off watering big time in the winter as they rot easily 🌱😊🌱

I’ve recently had a lot of success with my string of hearts plants! I’m in London, so similar conditions to you and after some trial and error I’ve managed to get them growing brilliantly! I have one (a variegated one) on a mantelpiece, trailing over the edge, about 2 meters away from an east facing window. My other two (normal ones) I have on high shelves of my book case, about 3 meters away from a south facing window. I water them about once a month and am constantly having to trim them as a couple of them keep reaching the floor (from two meters up)! They grow like absolute weeds for me now and although occasionally I’ve had problems with bare looking stems, I just cut it back to before that point and it grows back brilliantly. I use an aquarium water conditioner too, except I use one called prime by seachem. They also seem to like the seaweed baby bio fertiliser although I use it very rarely. They are still an absolute pain to untangle however they do look amazing when they’re happy! One of them is in my zoom background (when I’m working from home) and I’ve got many compliments on it! They are definitely S tier plants for me now, after years of trial and (mostly) error. Definitely worth it in my opinion though, they look amazing when mature, flowing down from a high shelf, especially when they occasionally reward you with little flowers! String of pearls however… I cannot for the life of me keep them alive!

Great vid! So informative as well as it teaches a lot about your plants and their behaviors Some random thoughts: My Pilea mother plant, I keep it in a bright place where I dont see it often 😂 (and otherwise care for it well). I do however take out a babyplant every now and then and put it somewhere where I see it often, since the babys look quite cute for a while. Also if you chop the top off the bald stemmed Pilea, the bottom starts branching out all over, and the top can be propagated into a new non-bare stemmed plant. They are a bit annoying when they throw a fit, but also have options! My string of heart seems to like higher humidity, growlight brightness and even constantly moist (not soggy) soil, its doing quite well and some strings are well over 2 meters long. While it still throws a fit every now and then and drops a few leaves, it also flowers most of the time. I recently started a second one from cuttings… in a growtent (very bright, super high humidity). It is now rooted well and starts to grow out strings. For the leggy Dieffenbachia… maybe propagate? Or put some cute low bushy plants in front of the leggy stems? Verrucosum: maybe put more than one plant onto the pole so that it will become more filled out?

I also have an other plant that’s much larger in one of the zip lock bags that’s supposed to be used for vacuum sealing a double duvets.

In the U.K. - There are two plants that I really have success with - dieffenbachias and syngoniums. Because I also have an interest in aquascaping I learned that they can both live in a riparian environment (roots submerged and leaves above water). I simply pot them up like any other plant but keep them literally saturated with water. This seems to slow down the loss of lower leaves on dieffenbachias a lot, but if a stem does get leggy, I just cut it down and trim the top part then stuff it in the mud next to it's old stem (both should send out new growth) or, if I want a new plant, root it in water and then pot it. My syngoniums just romp away in their sodden mud and seem very happy. Both plants seem to do well with grow lights as I am in a basement flat, so have little choice!

My peperomia raindrop is thriving in a southern window in my sunroom in sunny California. Unless it is shock, it probably isn’t too much sun. Maybe it got a bit overwatered or repotted too frequently? They hate being repotted and mine has been in the same pot more than a decade. They are an easy plant here because they like the dry, but probably more challenging in your damp climate. BTW, they are super easy to propagate from a node, a leaf, or even half a leaf, so you can easily make a back up copy or add cuttings to make it bushier. It also bounces back nice from pruning.

I care for it the way I do my Lipstick plant but the SOH usually wants more water in the summer where I'm at (PA) *over summer put your Hoya outside on a covered porch. The UV light + heat/humidity outside help mine bloom * the "orange green plant" is a Mandarin or Fire Flash Spider Plant. I struggle with mine too but those stems keep preventing me from tossing it. Colorful or patterned stem plants look so good on a higher up shelf/book stand. * Rhizomeous Begonia for me stay neater. I can't remember the last time I removed a leaf other than to propagate it (once it was acclimated to my house anyway). They stay more compact too so more tuck in around other plant friendly.

I avoid any “string of” plants. You should get a philodendron micans - pretty velvety (not showy) leaves , climbs like a pothos and pretty easy to care for.

I like the Pallida outside in the earth. Then I take cuttings for over winter.

FYI the correct name for the Tradescantia showen is actually Lisa, and it is a cultivar of Tradescantia mundula. Unfortunately many Tradescantias are mislabeled mainly for commercial purpose.

I got irritated with my tradescantia and stuck her outside at Easter. It’s June 12 now and she’s doubled her size. Heifer.

💕 I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE CHINESE MONEY PLANT!!!! 🪴😍💕 (…also nicknamed: UFO Plant!)💗🛸 👽🪴 I had one last summer. Instead of using soil, I planted it in teeny tiny slate pebbles and let it sit outside on the patio where there was plenty of warmth and sunlight. It THRIVED🤩🌞🪴🤩 in the sun!!!! It only needed watering when the pebbles were dry. You can definitely get away with just filling the watering tray to water it that way. Just be careful not to leave it (or forget it’s outside) if you live in a climate with a winter season. I forgot to pull my plants 🪴 in before the first frost because our autumn felt like summer last year with 70-80 degree heat, so I didn’t feel a rush to move them inside. The first cold snap we had snuck up on me one week before Thanksgiving! Lol, I was devastated!!😢 Virginia had a very mild winter last year which is why I thought I could chance it.🤷🏽‍♀️ Oh, well. Lesson learned. 🌱🪴🌿🪴🌱

Your Chinese money plant looks A LOT nicer than mine. 😂

Hi Mr. Sheffield Didn’t quite agree with some of your ratings but enjoyed and watched the whole video 😁. I was curious why you don’t keep more begonias - maculata; angel wing etc. They’re gorgeous and easy to grow and also treat you with lovely little flowers

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Not sure. Don’t catch my eye I guess

[@josephrapp]

Quite a nice collection.going to get a nepenthes. I do not understand the Birkin problem....mine is in aroid soil and gets a huge amount of light. Fertilize every month in Summer.

[@KentoLeoDragon]

Me either. My Birkin is in regular houseplant soil in an east facing window and grows great. I don't think it likes too much babying.

[@urbanbeachbum2148]

Excellent video! It would be helpful in learning light requirements if you would mention which direction the windows are facing. Easiest plant ever is the Christmas cactus…the less attention I give it the more often it is covered in flowers.

[@Chris-op7yt]

i'm getting into potting mix made mostly of fine pumice and some ground up peat moss. my mixes of peat and perlite became soggy over time.

[@paulawilkinson6341]

Am new to collecting plants an flowers for indoors an outdoors loving ur channel ❤

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@sandramalone3522]

That Chinese Money plant is beautiful. Send it to me if you don't want it

[@ClassyDroid9021]

As ive just started diving into houseplants more I love watching your videos. I only have a golden pothos and a dracanae deremensis so far but have a ton of ideas on what to expand into. Im always open to more suggestions and ideas.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Can’t go wrong with the s class ones

[@andreasfriborg2797]

Love it! So excited for this!

[@lisawagner6076]

I was very excited to see a 30 minute video from you!! I love the longer videos. I like the Tradiscantia Zebrina. I have 2 in hanging baskets in my bedroom windows as I get bright light from south facing windows. And the light makes them sparkle with the silver from their leaves and looks really beautiful. But yes, in fall and winter they crisp up and look awful and make a mess. So I treat them as annuals. I buy one hanging basket and divide that into different pots. I got 5 or 6 actually from this last basket I just bought. So I hung one off my back deck, put a couple on my front porch and the 2 hanging pots for my bedroom. But I don't think I will bother with them over winter next year. Will there be a part 2 Mr Sheffield?? I did notice a few plants missing. Your Calathea Elgergrass for one and your brand new Thai Constellation. But i suspect would be in S class. This was a fun video, Thank you!!

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Thanks for watching 😁

[@dianeallen9466]

I love the way you ranked them. But the one i disagree with is the aloe Vera. I have 4 and I love them all.

[@PlantsBalcony]

Great video, I'll take it as inspiration for my next one! 🌱

[@shane_8796]

Spending time going through your vids before I grow my plant family.

[@melanies8263]

I love to see how different we all are! ❤ I personally do not care for alocasias or philodendron, but I deeply adore my collection of calatheas! Specifically the orbifolia and the roseopicta, those are my two S-class plants 😊 Not saying I'll be able to keep all of my 6 calatheas alive, but at this point I have started seeing them as long-lasting "flower bouqets" instead of short-lasting house plants, and so it's fine for me if one or two die every year 😅 Also really happy with my chinese money plant, I just cut it off at the bottom once it gets too long and leggy, and enjoy the babies until the circle starts again 😊

[@GoodGriefCB]

I think your purple shamrock needs a bigger pot. But when mine got scraggly looking, I caught it off even with the pot and it grew back thicker.

[@DavisOnABike]

Thank you! I had misidentified my new plant. According this video it is a green syngonium. I thought it was some kind of alocasia. Sounds like syngonium will be better plants in the winter months.
