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💚

[@thespoiledtexan3904]

Right? And I'm like, wait I know names of plants that Kaylee doesn't? Whaaaa???? I fina;;y have plants Kaylee has! \lmao

[@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.

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

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

[@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]

I think the rare ones are just a source of anxiety for me. Whereas the common ones are only the source of joy. Time to pick up some more ;)

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

Asparagus setaceus, not plumosus.

[@yyeonck]

you’re really glowing with happiness in this video! 🤍

[@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.

[@davidcardenas7428]

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

[@tiffanymcnerlin157]

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

[@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!!

[@deniseplasse5126]

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

[@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!

[@Galemor1]

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. 😉

[@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

[@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. 🪴

[@marahbaker8615]

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

[@plantwithroos]

Maranta lemon lime is still very hard to find in the Netherlands, if it is available its fucking expensive - they were 90€ last time I saw them!

[@leas.8603]

Same in Germany. And if you find them it's a tiny plant.

[@crystalgumm3741]

Wow!! That is def expensive!

[@plantwithroos]

@Agata Cybińska thank you so much! That's awesome to hear ❤️❤️❤️

[@plantwithroos]

@@leas.8603 yes exactly!! I bought one in 2019 when there was that one batch - sold for 8€ per full full plant. But then the webshops bought them up from the garden center and sold them for much more and they never became available again at that price 🙄😩

[@plantwithroos]

@@crystalgumm3741 right?! I think they'll become more affordable soon as they're quite easy to grow but the growers needed time to grow them out and I don't think they're there yet 🤭😩

[@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!

I have the same top 3 common houseplants. I have owned my Heart leaf philodendron for 3 years and it is still my absolute favorite. Though my Maranta Lemon Lime is probably 4th place.

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

[@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!! 👏🌿🥰💚👌

[@KaylasPlants]

Yesss!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I love common houseplants!!!! I am waiting for the more uncommon to become more affordable hopefully one day so for now I’m sticking with the cheaper stuff I can find! 😅 it’s awesome I can find some uncommon here and there locally though!!

[@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.

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)

I just put my hederaceum on a bamboo pole!!! And filmed it to share! It’s suchhh a fast grower! I love them. I have literally so many all over my house hahaha so easy to prop and just have sooo mannnyyy

[@yaelsoso8131]

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

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

[@approachableplantsbyjessie495]

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

[@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.

[@ariennesangma2180]

[@tireba]

I have an unexciting Alocasia Portodora that I absolutely love! They don't have to be exciting to be special ❤

[@tanokiah]

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!

[@ashakabeta]

Thank you! This is something I can relate to. I appreciate it!

Amazing, informative, and engaging presentation...as always!!

[@sugarspiceatn1]

What a lovely change loved it 😘😘💯👌 xx

[@Galemor1]

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. 🤔😉

[@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!! 😂

[@sisishan7544]

yesss please do a video on how to identify large vs small form monstera at the plant store or when the plant is young! would love to figure out which ones I have.

[@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. 🥰

[@VividVerse]

I adore my Calatheas and stromanthe. Especially my Triostar and Musaica. They're just so beautiful and unique. I almost got an orbifolia today but I'm trying to be good. I already bought 2 other plants and room is limited lol I'd like to see more videos about common plants. I liked this!

[@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!! 😆😊

Awwww, I've been watching you for years now, my brother bought me a snake plant as a house warming prezzie about 4 years ago & I spent hours upon hours watching all your videos as I was a complete novice, I now have around 200 plants, common as well as rare so thank you for kick starting my addiction lol! Knew you were gonna mention the triostar as I remember the one from your earlier vids & I absolutely loved it (& was slightly jealous also lol) Thanks for the videos :)

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!
