10 Indoor Plants I Can't Live Without - Favorite Houseplants

[@amandahernandez1111]

I thought I was basic because pothos and snake plants are my favorite but I’m glad to see it’s other people agree.. they’re like the good favorite child that doesn’t give you any grief lol 😅

[@tammyhollan6149]

So many plants to love! Probably pothos or sansevieria because even if I neglect them the stay alive and grow🪴

[@alinaserafimova3368]

So glad you brought up astrophytum! It looks like it's from an alien planet. I have had mine for five years now, it's grown so much and it blooms every year for me. Gorgeous and imple to car for!

[@diannalvey8714]

I knew one of the plants you would pick would be a pothus.❤it is the plant that started me on my plant craze. And snake plant I have 13 different ones.

[@amandastoyer4819]

I have always had spiderplants. I think they are just cute and nostalgic for me. My biggest and favorite plant is my monstera deliciosa. I have so many philodendron and pothos varieties now, love them. AND... I just got my first hoya krimson princess at a big box shop in PA. I am very excited to have her in my collection.

[@sharonholmes2470]

Anything that climbs a pole! I've been making "real moss poles!" It's addictive and I cannot stop! I have corner gardens in my home of them. Beautiful 😊

[@jude1515]

One of my favorites is the jade plant. I like to propagate the leaves and create little bonsais.

[@teresabaumbach7883]

OMG Home Depot in Bowling Green Kentucky on 8/6/24 had a boat load of Philodendron Florida Green and Philodendron Mayoi on sale for $14.88 in a nice straw basket 1 gallon or 6 inch pot. I bought 6.

[@GEOMETRICINK]

I will always have a an overflowing pot of syngonium albo a stromanthe triostar and a monstera albo or thaicon. Love those three plants. They are all easy care, don’t need extra humidity and it’s always exciting seeing what the new growth will look like.

[@kyrad6543]

I think my "cannot live withouts" are ZZ, old school heart leaf philodendron, sansevierias, and at least one hoya (although choosing which one would be very challenging). But it's hard for me to visualize having to scale back to that level.

[@sylviacahoon8571]

Ashley I love your advices on plants and I love you girl you explain everything so detail. I love your show. I love the Calatheas, Hoyas and different kind of pothos. Thank you 💞😘

[@williamlaine2116]

I've had what I call a silver satin pothos for 10+ years growing by my back door. I have had 2 varieties of Hoya for nearly that long. The variegated one blooms but is prone to scale insects. The other never blooms but has not been infested with scale. I bought a big, bushy Monstera deliciosa last October & soon had to move it into a larger pot. It thrived by a south-facing window until summer. Now the leaves are turning brown & dying!

[@luisagallarotti9188]

I completely agree on astrophytum. So lovely

[@catherineaube2367]

Mine are scindapsus, epipremnum, hoyas and philodendrons.

[@GardenWitchStudio]

Mine is Alocasia, even the finicky ones. I have over 70 varieties and I love them.

[@timilisafogal6990]

Rhapsis Palm is my no. 1 plant I will always have, any Philos, cast iron plant, ficus, hoya, and alocasia /colocasia - any variety.

[@db-333]

I will always have bamboo , money tree and snake plants . The whale fin is my favorite too ! They have a simple elegance . ❤ Thank you for your knowledge. I recently found you on tube.

[@Nikkibee716]

My absolute favorite that I’m surprised isn’t more popular is laceleaf anthurium! So easy to take care of and mine has some gorgeous red flowers

[@Sweetnsassycasi]

Pothos was my gateway plant 😊❤ I love them

[@taylorstewart8309]

I agree with a lot of yours! I would add heart leaf philo instead of Pothos, I just like how they grow better. Other must haves would be umbrella tree, agleonema, calathea orbifolia OR maranta, and I must have a ZZ plant

[@krystalwilliams8592]

I can't live without Dracena, Umbrella tree, any variety of pothos, monsteras, and philodendrons. My favorite plant right now is my philo pedatum.💜

[@debbiefrick4380]

Dracena are pretty but don't always like me. I've murdered 2 but a dark marginata variety seems to think it like me.

[@marieclark4609]

Hi Ashley I love snake plants crotons rubber tree plants are my one of my very favorite and I love pocos too🌺🌹🌴😁😍🤩🥰💛🧡🖤🖖🖖

[@kristiemowry3267]

I inherited a diffenbachia from my mom that I will always have, plus a hoya carnosa that is now huge. I think I will always have a peace lily, african violet and begonia. I have newer loves, but these one I have had for years and always will, for sure.

[@turogers13]

Your begonias are gorgeous 😍 ❤💚

[@ellieraggs]

My current must have is heart leaf philodendron. I love them all... plain green, variegated, Brazil, all the striped ones. All are great! Loved seeing your selections and will definitely look for part two!

[@debbiefrick4380]

When my MIL died, I inherited and almost killed her heart leaf as an overwaterer. She is doing great now and I love her, my fast growing Brazil, and my young micans. What else do you mean when you say striped ones??

[@ellieraggs]

@@debbiefrick4380 there is a Rio, Cream Splash, and a couple more similar that I can't think of the names of right now. All great. Some grow a little slower.

[@peggymalabuyoc9150]

Hi Ashley, Great video! Who doesn’t love Pothos, Hoya, Sansevieria, Scindapsus, Monstera, Lip Stick plants, chunky succulents/ cacti, etc, right?! For me I would add my Aglaonema plants and my Domino Peace Lily. Take care! 👌🪴🥰

[@thisveganlife6340]

Can you make a video showing us the step process in how you treat the mealy bugs exactly? I’ve failed a few times at ridding my plants of them and I had to throw away my plants. 😔

[@ms.m6060]

Take out your plant from soil .wash the plant and the pot completely.put your whole plant including roots in water for 4 minutes rinse it off use soap and rubber alcohol spray (mix with water) on your plant on the top and underneath of the leaves .change the soil and dont keep your soil wet bc mealies like it wet

[@Maureen-di4nw]

Your videos are so relatable

[@heidimoon4638]

Any blooming semi-succulent have become a staple in my collection… lipstick, hoya, columnea, nemanthus, dischidia, peperomia, senecio, just love 💚

[@whilmaedghill6110]

Love your videos your plants are awesome.

[@eckehareckbert2731]

Pothos, sanseveria, zz raven, Hoya krimson princess, queen and mathilde, aglaonema pink/colorful ones, ficus elastica, scindapsus silver lady & exotica. Outdoor plants - purple pallida and blue chalk stick. these thrive & alive under my care despite my black thumb. Btw, ur picks are lovely

[@octaviaschulte1719]

Hi! My must haves are ficus, euphorbia, rhipsalis, snake plants, Hoya and philodendrons!

[@cathy2142]

I also cant live without my parlor palm. Its huge and older, lots of Ag’s too

[@user-kr911]

I will always have all the Hoya I can get my grubby fingers on, heart leaf philodendron, and peperomia hope. Peperomia hope was the most pleasant surprise when I found it at Home Depot this year. It has just gone bonkers since bringing it home. It really is the forgiving happy and charming plant I’ve ever owned. Constantly gives out new growth no matter what I do. My Hoyas understand me and I understand them. They are always sending me happy little leaf surprises right when I need them. Heart leaf philodendron is just a staple everyone needs and is also always happy. With that being said there is one plant I could live without that is on your list 😬. The fiddle leaf. lol. I love them and I want them but they hate me. I did manage to keep one little fiddle alive on my kitchen counter next to my since for 3 years but she went bye bye one sad day and I just don’t know how to keep her alive anywhere that isn’t next to my sink haha

[@LittleGardenGrow]

I will also always have monsteras and pothos, I just really love them, but also inwillig always have a pilea

[@bethshaffer-scott9984]

Gosh…. Ten babies….I would agree with your choices. I would add philodendron…..so many varieties, also Aglionema, very underrated but so easy. I really love spider plants and also certain varieties of rubber trees, my teneke is so pretty (also can deal with a little neglect). My collection is small but delights me. I just bought my first anthurium….at a great price….wish me luck❤️🍀

[@terrizimmerman5297]

Snake Plants are a must for me!

[@AS-lm9xm]

Thank you for sharing.

[@Kiley_Young]

Not me adding the ones I don't have to my wish list 😂

[@thetruepatriot7733]

Yup... that's why I'm here! Looking for new plant ideas 😂

[@LindaAbbott-zl9yh]

I have the begonia in my bathroom & it’s currently 4 ft. tall. I have to cut it way back about once a year. Very happy, healthy plant but it’s never bloomed.

[@lovemyswagg53]

I need that thick leafed hoya list because those are my favorite too

[@traceykusser368]

Monstera, Philodendron, Pothos, Air plants, and I search out any String of (dolphins, frogs, bananas; etc.) plant I can get. I have some Hoyas but I don’t have to have every one, thank goodness. I can’t seem to pass up a little Mican when I see one either.😊 Great video, as always!❤

[@debbiefrick4380]

I like my little mican I bought in February. It loves to grow!

[@kimberlywheat6278]

I like my peace lily I have had great luck with it it blooms like crazy

[@sarastockall]

Hoyas are my favorite.❤

[@nikkireigns]

You handled the mealie bugs like a champ! I’d probably have a panic attack 😂

[@elliemay1984]

I loVe snake plants. I have 2 that are over 30 years old. I had to divide them because they got way to big for me. I also love Pothos plants.

[@gwenncoath8941]

Ahh, fiddle leaf fig…. That’s one I’ve had some of the most problems with. I’ve had mine for at least 6 years. He will put out new leaves, then they will get crispy or he will drop leaves. He never seems happy….

[@929jpotter]

I’m trying to rescue one too. It’s only ever had 3 nice leaves, then the 4th dies. 😢 I just stuck it in the shady spot on my porch. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’d love tips to get a scraggly one to grow!

[@amymarshall1829]

I think the three that I would always have to have are Thanksgiving cactus, jade plant, and aglaonema. I have a large collection of hoya, so I'd add that as well. The mealybug magnet aspect of them, though, is a real bummer.

[@ijustshatnered757]

pothos and monstera, basic plants i know but a variety or two of either houseplant collections seem off. snake plants, portulacaria afra, true jades. portulacaria afra(dwartf jade) is the plant i look at the most when im plant shopping. if i seen an interesting trunk in a pot of afra that pot is coming home with me

[@karenmyers9146]

I love Hoyas all kind, monstera Thai, Albo, green and a white mint. Would love to find a green on green variegated. I also have the aurea. I also love cactus and anthurium. Let’s also throw in philodendron.

[@kajuanahines6365]

I have 36 plants in my home. Some as old as 2009 until now and some I started buying last Spring 2023. They iclude some propagations doubling some in quantities (Pothos, Snake Plant and Gloriosum). Have kept many alive since 2009 and now I absolutely am into garening whether in my home or container gardening on my terrace... So Terrace I have 4 tomato plants and 2 pepper plants. Alll different varieties. Philodendron Rojo Congo, Philo Jungle Fever, Philo Gloriousum, Philo Brasil, Philo Squamiferum, Monstera Delisiosa, Croton Petra, English Ivy, Maranta ( Prayer Plant) , 2- ZZ's ( regular and black), Blue Star Fern, Lucky Bamboo, Cryptanthus/Pink Star, 6 Cacti; the names are too long for me to know how to spell but one is a Cowboy or Prickly Pear, and the other a Blue Torch, Crassula/String of Buttons, and an Algaonema/Chinese Evergeen cutting. NEED MORE. I am looking to add the Kangaroo Paw Fern, Philo Equadorian Canoe/Jerry Horne, and a few more that will kep my "jungle vibe" going......

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Love it!

[@Valerie11859]

Loved your video! I’ll be keeping up with you! Thank you.

[@DianeCee0]

I'd have to say jade plants are my must haves.

[@rejeannemiron465]

I love my philo Patriciae, anth Vittarifolium, Monst Thai and my Epipremnum aureum 'Shangri La' varigated

[@nancyanderson9012]

So if I buy one of those small cactus that you are in love with how do you water them so you don't kill them

[@linzynason7000]

I can’t live without string of pearls, scindapsus exotica, philodendron micans, neon pothos, Hoya crimson queen/princess, string of turtles, jade tree, thanksgiving cactus, unique cactus and snake plant

[@vicky3792]

Ficus, Monstera Thai, oddballs, crown of thorns, desert rose, Anthurium, Alocasia, Syngonium, Hoya, ctenanthe.

[@denisej.9936]

I’d have to add any type of philodendron, bird of paradise, ZZ ….. I’m not that into lipstick plants like you are. They appear too fragile. I agree with your assessment of thick-leafed Hoyas. I only have two Hoyas, one thick and one thin. My thin-leafed Hoya is definitely more fragile, temperamental, and on its way out.

[@aprilfoote8700]

How much water do you give your cacti and how often.

[@Wendy-zl8kv]

I love all your choices! And dog on it with the bugs 😢

[@cathy2142]

I agree plants are nature=God’s creation on display🌅

[@929jpotter]

Do you have some plants in ceramic planters with no nursery pot? (The Scindapsus.) So many questions, but I’m new and obsessed with plants and your channel! I’m on the NC coast.

[@debbiefrick4380]

Fun video and I would love to see more like it. The plant genus (?) I will always have is peperomia. I have clusifolia, 3 obtusifolia, happy bean, red log, ruby glow graveleons, capareta frost, hope, and an unknown. I think I will always have a peperomia. Oddly, I kill all other succulents but love the peps that are succulent like. I'll probably always have a pothos and a Philo Brazil and micans. Oddly I do fine with my succulent like peps but will kill any other succulent or cactus. Even though I'm not a fan of astrophytum, I enjoy your search for those.

[@lalama637]

Hi Any tips on growing Astrophytum? Mine melted😢

[@lilidiaconu9910]

Sneak plant.Spider ,Oxalis triangularyxte,,rattlesnake plant,🎉prayer plant,anthurium,strptocarpus,all photos,silver photos😍 waffles plant,aglonema red ,syngonium pinkand mach more .thank you for your videos.love from Romania.thank you.Lili

[@haiyancombativemartialarts4807]

[@cathy2142]

Exotica is my soul mate plant i have tons❤❤❤

[@srikarmamillapalli5875]

I always have a few zinnia in my house!

[@tonirichards7559]

I have over 40 philodendrons, my number one ,then anthurium hybrids

[@lanemc3352]

What's the large leaf plant in the lower right corner?

[@CJ-qj3pk]

Snake plant, rubber tree, China doll, five pathos like yours, one birkin, can't decide if I love it or that it just looks to weird, schefflera, angel wing begonia, have grown outside and inside, Swedish ivy aka creeping Charlie, dracaena, finally Chinese evergreen. I grow Swedish and spider plants on patio. Your begonia can be cut back part way and you can simply insert cut limp directly into soil. Works for me. Do you have any of the plants I have?

[@cathy2142]

Pothos yes!

[@TxHoneybee01]

What do you do about gnats??? They drive me crazy.

[@cathy2142]

Agreed snake plants Your humidity is what?!? Montana we live at 15-25 humidity😢

[@Godisincontrol325]

😃🎉 Excellent I subscribed to your channel 🙏

[@cathy2142]

You did not say the best part of the exotica! The leaves curl when thirsty! Easy care! Love when they talk to us. That would make a great video. Plants that say help!

[@birendrasingh5492]

Nice

[@arlenefell9780]

New plant mom. Do you have a video recording of light needs for plants. 10:19p

[@929jpotter]

Are lipstick plants always labeled (as lipstick)?

[@debbiefrick4380]

Zebra basket vine plant aka black pagoda... I have this and it was not labeled as lipstick but research shows it it. I liked it, bought it, but did not know it was lipstick and it's the only lipstick I have. I love the leaves but not the flowers, FYI. So, that one was not labeled as lipstick.

[@valerykazakov4479]

Sanseveria, pothos, scandalous and jade plant.

[@sharonmccants9397]

That Angel Wing begonia ain’t no Angel but they are pretty.

[@VeronicaRussek]

Mealybugs are my nemesis… Those buggers get everywhere! I have sprayed and even tossed really infected plants because of them. My must have plants are ponytail palms, I have around 10, one of them being 8-feet tall! Pothos also really likes my place, I have lade six new plants from one and they are all thriving. I!m also in love with my compact rubber tree and my Tineke. And I have several olive trees growing outside.

[@glendamartinez9309]

Can you give tips on Ponytail plants?I want one so bad ,but afraid to buy and kill it😅

[@kristathompson9888]

I am a humongous Hoya girl 💚💚💚

[@M_SC]

Monkeytail cactus

[@929jpotter]

I’m on the lookout for Astrophytum, but have seen none on the NC coast yet (my little area). Ashley, I’m dying to know what charm your necklace is. 💚🪴
