My ALL-TIME Favourite COMMON Houseplants! | Yes, Really. | Kaylee Ellen

[@grat2010]

Not that I don't love seeing the rare ones, but this was such a nice change in subject :)

[@jennifer_loves_8766]

I only own common houseplants.... less fussy... every time I would buy a rare plant it usually die

[@reyakisakura3971]

I agree, something thats more affordable for everyone ;)

[@ObileeOo]

I love how talking about those common house plants made you smile so much more than most of the rare plants. 😁

[@KaylasPlants]

Right?! It made me smile watching it! I love common plants. And right now they’re just all I can afford haha. I love sharing my plants with people as well!

[@Juliamh2222]

I noticed that as well. Sometimes the simplest things bring so much joy💚

[@leksukijo]

@@KaylasPlants pls talk about calatheas, like common and uncommon species, and Goeppertia variegata is the queen of calatheas

This video makes me soooo happy! I'm like "i have that" "oh that too" "omg that too" 😅

[@andrescastillo07]

haha same! When she shows rare plants I don't have any and I feel bad haha

[@demi140]

@@andrescastillo07 i tried taking notes of what rare plants to get but so far i only have a gloriosum and clarinervium. Others are just too expensive. 😅

[@out.of_the_fryingpan]

That's such an old-school Kaylee Ellen video! Great to hear Gus is still around

I can’t believe Kaylee showed us that neglected scindapsus, somebody might call the plant humane society 🤣!

Best comment of the day.

Lol this is so on brand I'm loving it 🤣😜

[@taylorvinzant7905]

The asparagus fern! I love it! It looks like a tiny forest in a pot!

[@neynahnehnah1485]

This is why we love ferns! They got everything!!!🥰😍🤩

[@LeMAD22]

But they need a ton of light or they leave a bunch of dead fronds on the floor

[@ThisIsMyFullName]

Rare plants are just the buzzword of today, what people really want are unique plants and I think that's where the future of the plant world is heading, once most of the rare plants become common due to flooding of the market. Then the most expensive plants will be those that look unique in their form, like a piece of organic artwork.

[@coagulatedsalts4711]

and it’s kind of like the tulip mania situation. everyone is buying it to try to make profit and everyone keeps raising the prices. the moment monstera albo becomes a big box store plant it’s price will crash lol

[@countrygirl4422]

@@coagulatedsalts4711 Exactly! I refuse to spend $400.00 on a plant to try impress people.

[@martar.8095]

The more expensive the variegated version of common plants are, the less interested I am. I’m not paying €200 for a white Monstera, if I want a variegated plant, I already have my cute pothos.

[@deniseplasse5126]

I love the common plant videos. They are at least plants I can afford to put in my collection! Thanks so much

[@davidcardenas7428]

Awww, hearing you talk about calethea brings back memories of the old videos! Great vid!!

[@EdbertTjoniko91]

I love seeing the asparagus fern making it in this list, as I was first introduced to that gorgeous plant from you and was obsessed about getting it ! 😆

[@britb2492]

I’m obsessed with Pothos. I want every single kind. 🪴

I love watching you get excited like this Kaylee Ellen. ❤️🌱❤️🌱

Asparagus fern is actually asparagus plumosa and it’s a close relative of the food asparagus!

[@diboakale3461]

Is it edible?❤

[@backyardedenhomestead]

@@diboakale3461 not edible but beautiful and hardy!

[@johnjhill3]

Which Asparagus fern tho! There is Asparagus Aethiopicus, Setaceus, Retrofractus, etc

[@Kissakaali]

Asparagus setaceus, not plumosus.

[@lallana2882]

My marble queen has been popping out white leaves with tiny amounts of green since we entered Spring! 😍

[@PlantFriendDownTheStreet]

I love watching real plant nerds geek out about common plants. I also really love Calathea but I’m also running out of space and have to keep room for the really rare and special stuff. Plus, I don’t love the idea of spider mite magnets so I try to limit the Alocasia, Calathea, verrucosum problem children in my care if I can.

[@andreaorozco9660]

Lemon-lime maranta. I love the velvety leaves, the color contrast, and how hardy they are!

[@Kati-did]

Love this one and seeing what common stuff you enjoy! Many years ago my friend bought me a plant for my bday. I kept looking at it through out the day and thought I was losing my mind because it kept changing positions. I took a couple pictures just to verify my sanity, then looked up rattlesnake calathea to see if moving was normal. It blew my mind, I didn't know any plants did this. Now I have 6 prayer plants, many you named as your favs!

[@marahbaker8615]

I'm sincerely glad to hear that Gus is doing well🥰💚

[@tiffanymcnerlin157]

Philodendron micans is a serious stunner 💜 I always stop to look at mine

[@approachableplantsbyjessie495]

sometimes the common plants are the most gratifying ones to own. so happy to see them get some love in this video!

[@stacieforesi5431]

Please take us along shopping whenever you are ready to stock up on some of the common ones! That would be a blast ( it makes me think of watching you shop for the wall and all)

[@LileLoveIt]

This Video was just so cute, how giggly and happy you looked made my day. I mostly have common plants and I LOVE them. Most of them are just so chill and can handle my depressive episodes the best. I can't even say I have favorites because it changes all the time. The only gripe I have with Calathea/Maranthas are my inability to get the spidermites of off them🙃

[@crystalgumm3741]

I was watching some shorts earlier and a YTer bought several ladybugs 🐞and released them on the plants 🪴 to eat the lil buggies!! I thought it was a great idea!!

[@wandashaw3551]

I love all of your choices! So enjoyable to see the plants that most of us started with in the beginning of our plant journey! Thanks so much! 😍

[@Yeans-fw3xm]

I have a 6ft tall Asparagus Fern and I can confirm its beauty and it's texture are delightful 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@ThKiwi]

I love this video. I have an assortment of rare and common plants and possibly my favorite is the oxalis triangularis. Those purple leaves that open and close and their cute little blooms are just delightful to me.

[@natalieshigrov8550]

So funny but that’s all my favorites as well! Only just fell back in love with the “old asparagus fern” got hubby to dig the ( weed) out from behind the back shed!! 😂

[@yaelsoso8131]

I agree with you for the triostar ! A wonderful plant ! And so easy to take care ! ❤

[@reggieferns]

Easy to care? Mine died within a week even though I live in a tropical country. They are pretty finicky in my experience

[@foliageandfur]

You look better now. The good vibes radiates.

[@carolineshirley2831]

The asparagus fern always reminds me of a Norfolk Pine. I love them. Love your channel girl! You are such an inspiration to me. I also struggled a lot growing up and as a result I have a lot of mental obstacles that make it hard to have hope. I’m in my early twenties and working really hard to be something worthwhile. Your story really inspires me and gives me hope that I still have a chance too. Thank you for your content and especially your mental health videos. You are awesome!

[@Watermelonsoup420]

aw this brings me back to the first video i ever watched of yours- the in depth alocasia care video 🥲

[@4kinim0D]

this was my first video to watch as well!

[@Sarah-iz2nt]

Those shoulder movements! You make great plant impressions 💚

[@amelie9271]

I LOVE asparagus ferns! They are so fairy-esque. 🧚‍♀️ They’re the most delicate, fluffy, beautiful little things. Tip: let an asparagus fern climb up a rope (or a macrame pot holder/hanger). It’s the most beautiful, dainty growth ever. It’s just so aesthetically pleasing. And I’m a huge fan of Blue Star ferns too. I’m in a very very humid, warm area and mine have gone nuts in my backyard. They’re such a gorgeous hue. I think the Triostar is such an under-appreciated plant (and I’m not typically a calathea fan). That fuschia back is stunning. Love this video! While I love my rare beauties and love to see your regular content, this one was wholesome and fun!

[@davidcandia9184]

Thank you Kaylee Ellen. I love watching you get excited. 🌱❤️🌱

[@crazy4catsRL]

I would love to see a video on the monstera deliciosa large form. I didn’t know that it was a thing. I thought mine was one that would get that big.

[@osmium3691]

It's not. They are the same species, it just grows a bit differently depending on the condition it's grown in. Give it lots of light and something to climb and it will get big eventually

[@tracysullivan7913]

Glad you mentioned micans, you can grow them so many ways in a hanging basket up a moss pole or leave it to grow up the wall and talk about stunning I love all my micans. Really enjoyed the change of area for the vid and great content, I must admit I have been waiting for your vid to come out this week,thank you.

[@Newcards4u]

I actually really like this video. It's such a happy vibe, and I got like 99% of them.. 😅 They are my common rare houseplants. 😉

[@louisemckelvey]

Plot twist, I actually love my common plants more than most of my rare ones 🙈😳 my micans, scandens brazil, marantas, stromanthe triostar and neon pothos are devastatingly beautiful 😍

[@KaylasPlants]

Right?! I’m more interested in the commons ones because half the time they’re just less fuss 😅

[@horace6851]

[@deaconsmom2000]

This might be my favorite of your videos, so far. I loved your imitation of the alocasia. Desperation has caused many US growers to re-introduce some really old, classic Granny plants and I'm in love. I'm staring at a Sugar Vine right now and it's a bouncy cutie. I cannot grow a Heartleaf phil. Mine is stunted and unhappy. My calatheas are among my most neglected plants, by their choice. The minute I fuss, they start their antics, especially that Fusion White. When I let them alone, they're their own little jungle.

[@peggymalabuyoc9150]

Too funny and so true!! 😆😊

[@SteveNoblin]

I had an asparagus fern back in the 90's. It lived for many years i left it outside all the time and during the winter it would die back and in the spring it would spring back to life! I live in the USA in 7b

[@daniellec6175]

I loved the energy of this video! You can see her excitement for these plants.

[@cookienibz2578]

I can certainly appreciate the rare plants, but I've also just been the type to get whatever plant speaks to me. I have absolutely never cared about trends, course I've been a plant parent for 20 years, lol. The plants everyone refers to as "common" or "easy" quite honestly are among my favorites. Gardening should be serene & calming, so whatever stress I can cut from my collection or care is a win in my book.

[@peggymalabuyoc9150]

I’ve viewed a lot of you videos and although all of them have been good, this one is hands down my most favorite. You seem genuinely happy and relaxed in the sharing of your experiences with these plants. You speak lovingly as you stroll down memory lane and it’s a pleasure to watch. Eventually everything comes back full circle! First memories seem to always be the best /strongest ones and maybe this is why we love our “common” first plants so much. Great job!! 👏🌿🥰💚👌

Half of my collection is Calathea and other prayer plants. They are just stunning and so easy (for me, I know not everyone has a good time with them)! As a newer subscriber, it’s neat to see what your favorite common plants are!

[@mikefaulkner5175]

Really enjoyed this video! Its funny but of these are already growing in my yard!

[@Newcards4u]

My tip for keeping prayer plants and ferns, keep the soil moist, even the asparagus fern.. I bought this tiny one once, and it's been with me for years, and it's grown big and beautiful. I absolutely adore it, it sent out these loooong vines in winter, as I had placed it in a darker area, and I tried to make it so it would grow out around my hanging lamps, but it was just to dark for it. I guess I have to buy some growlight bulbs for next winter. 🤔😉

[@antonfilimonov9131]

Hello, thank you for the videos. I'd like to request two topics: 1. A home tour showing your personal plants and how you grow it. 2. An in-depth guide to LECA, especially how you transform plants from soil to it. Best regards

[@melissaking3481]

I love this video. It really grounds people in the beginning of our collections and what started the love of plants. I actually had been moving my collection back to the more hardy and beautiful plants I started with. And all the ones you have said are on my list. In one form or another. 😊 More sought after plants were annoying me with the drama/ people’s behaviour that come with them. I do suggest as a fellow Calathea lover the Musaica. It is so hardy and gorgeously. I have it in a self water pot soil and leave it alone for a few weeks. It’s always pushing new leaves. Maybe not as colourful but the dimension or the networking on the leaves. 😘 chefs kiss. Definitely interested in a picking out a large form video. And maybe a what to look for when picking a plant. Multi- planted, insects damage, rot on discount plants. Things like that. 😊 Wish I could buy from you in Australian. Let us know if you will ever open up sales to the British colony across the pond. 🇦🇺🌱🙏🏼 Thanks again and love the work. 🥰

Hey Kaylee LOVE your videos! the Asparagus Plumosa "fern" is not a real fern is it closely related to the asparagus people eat. there are a few different variety that are commonly grown at least here in California. I agree the asparagus are super cool and one of the easiest "fern-like" plants.
