My Favorite Colorful Houseplants

[@papprolle]

I'm only 40 seconds into the video and just wanted to say: Just be yourself! That in its own is a really big lifegoal and not easy to do. So I think everyone that manages to really be themselves on a daily basis is a very, very brave person!

[@slambert129]

I wanna piggy back off of this - we love your content! We love how YOU make videos and the calm, informative style you give. Keep on keeping on! 💜

[@madif3753]

Hi Nick! I’d love to see you make a video about common plant “problems” that aren’t actually problems (losing old leaves, dust vs spider mites, etc) sometimes I think I overreact to “problems” that are just a natural part of owning plants. Thank you!! :)

[@lillypipkin2137]

Hey Nick, I love this style of videos where you go through your collection and share with us!! I'd also like to see "plants (could be a series per genus) I'd buy when they come down in price". You tell us all the time if things were cheap a couple years ago, but it would be nice to get a video full of it!

[@sarahmarie8206]

Happy pride!!! No hate here!!! Love your channel. 1st plant channel I ever subscribed too. Just wanted to post a comment for the algorithm and to say I hope u have a great day!!!! Thank you for all the houseplant info

Im heading out to buy red emerald. Thank you Nick for the plant update. 🌈 Happy Pride. Have fun and be safe out there 🌈

[@32clove]

I love your collection! I've owed a few plants in the past, but after finding your channel I was inspired to really go all in. So here I am, and thanks to plant tubers like yourself who keep this community thriving with great content, helpful info and tips. Thanks Nick

[@nutmeg33]

So happy for the PRIDE announcement at the beginning. I love your videos, but I especially loved that shoutout 🏳️‍🌈

I just picked up an agloenema sparkling Sarah from Trader Joe’s and she’s definitely my fav colorful pink lady right now!

Same, I got it from homedepot. I just love 💘it as it 💘love 💘me. It's so easy to take care. I bought it from homedepot about 2 months now and it grows twice as big now.

It's on my plant list!! Guess I'm checking Home Depot xD

[@marypolk9820]

I bet that is just so lovely. Congratulations on your new plant. Excited for you. I'm a new plant mom. Hopefully with Nick's info I will have live plants....lol

Happy pride! I really love colorful plants... There are so many!

[@vanessaj82]

I always notice the piper in your videos and wondered what it was. I’m so glad you mentioned it. Beautiful

[@plantlover6392]

Thank you so much. My son is 11 and has come out to me. While I am not shocked or angry or judgmental. I am embracing it. Anything my son is = mama loves. However his dad is very hurtful. He accuses him of wanting to be a “cross dresser” and tells him he doesn’t like when he listens to female artists, he also says the only reason we get along is because we are both feminine and it’s only a phase. Meaning we won’t be close later on down the line. I don’t know why I’m saying this to the whole world. I just want to say thank you so much for saying that in the beginning of your video. I doubt it will reach his dad but it might reach someone like him.

[@emberkittyT]

Love Agloenemas! I wish they were more popular, but Im glad they aren’t yet because that keeps em cheap lolol. I have a red ruby and its the BEST- and massive. My friend found it in the trash for some weird reason (no pests, no root rot, etc. just needed watered)and gifted to me.

[@pogthegrea]

I love my Gynura Purple Passion, it maybe the smallest plant in my collection but it stands out with the purple hairs on its leaves, the whole plant glows purple and it looks almost metallic in certain lights

[@eesrtdyfu6y54]

I love Gynura aurantiaca too!! They grow super quickly though so it won't be small for long. :D

[@lindam9018]

I have a small plant as well, hadn't thought of it before but I've never even seen a large one! It is very particular about watering and doesn't like water on the leaves. I bottom water this one.

I'm ready to add some color to my collection so this was very timely. I love your content - I'm learning alot!

[@kenn2797]

Aug 2022 You were right about the Piper Crocatum appearing in stores about a year out from your video. One appeared in my local nursery last spring and I love it. I was online today to see if I could figure out what all the little white crystal things were - after having treated it for pests twice and see them come back. (Yes, I am an experienced indoor plant person, but geez, I had completely forgotten your vid here. lol) My new favorite. Thanks for being the only youtuber to mention the crystals (that look very very much like bug eggs).

[@paratrooperwife]

What a beautiful statement at the beginning of your video ❤️ 🌈 . I rarely if ever comment, but ive been watching your content since early last year. Love you! You remind me a younger version of the actor John Malkovich when you speak, but I digress. I’ve learned a lot about plant care, ty, and I love the way you talk to your cat 🐈‍⬛. You crack me up some days, especially when you share your reactions to customers when you worked in the plant shop 😊. I think you are a people person! Keep up the great work.

[@bheanrua]

Happy Pride month!! Always look forward to your videos. Much love from Ireland 💚

Happy New Year, Nick! I hope things get better for you this year, in particular those issues with your new flat. Today I received a beautiful piper crocatum I bought on the internet and I am already in love with it 😊 Thank you so much for the detailed information about it, it's precious. And thank you too for your love of underrated plants, which I share 😊

I have had a lot of growth on my Hoya by spraying them with orchid food mist. :)

[@29jgirl92]

Need to try this!

[@gigibecker6803]

@@29jgirl92 I was so skeptical at first but it works! I do it once a week and I have had growth and even flower. I use the miracle grow spray in the pink bottle which is very inexpensive.

Ahhh the piper was one wishlist and I JUST bought one!! I'm picking it up today and I am soooo excited! Thanks for the video and tips 😍😍

[@kaleycook429]

I actually bought a Piper ornatum online, and it shipped quite well. She packed it in spagnum and taped it well. It was also super hot that week.. I was worried,but she's doing great!

[@brittanytungcab8624]

I love my linearis (vsoh)! It's so easy to grow and prop and for all I keep being told extra humidity it sits above my computer in an east facing window and blows up in growth. The pot was $40 for a 4" with barely any growth and now it can easily give me an inch a week of growth. I love propping pieces of it to fill the top of the pot more and watch them learn how to trail ❤️

[@tinabratland4027]

I have never seen a Primulina Sinensis before, it is love at first sight! New wish list plant.

[@jacquelynstewart6965]

Hi Nick! content idea: plants that pop/unfurl new leaves that remain the same size vs ones that grow bigger. sometimes I fear I am mistreating a plant cause it's new leaf comes in so small, but then sometimes it grows larger over time. love your videos and style!

[@cklassify]

So many episcias are also very colorful and even with a metallic sheen 🤩 and they are always blooming for me!

Thank you for making note that the Piper Crocatum gets sandy-beads on underside of leaves. Would like to get one and now thx to your video. I HAD a hoya obscura for one year on a west, splash of, south-facing window, and it stayed green. Only 1 leaf got sun-stressed with NO lime veins.

[@dawnhood3666]

Go on pull out those ✂️ and cut up that string of hearts. You know you want to. ❤️ 💜 ♥️

[@cameronhoover1665]

i have truly fell in love with your videos! thanks for the advise!

[@HeadstrongGirl]

Hoyas actually love water, but they don't like their roots to sit in it. I have many hoya varieties, including obscura, and I water them 1-2 times a week, or whenever the medium has dried completely. If you give your obscura more water and some humidity, it should pick up

[@marypolk9820]

I have a few Hoyas... I find they do want more water

[@peggydove8756]

Beautiful plants!!

[@izamalczykjewelry]

[@Contraria_sunt_complementa]

Beautiful plants, but not too much color (except for the Aglaonema). Are Caladium or Tradescantia out of fashion or hard to grow there? What about Begonias or Coleus? If it's the weather then a more tropical place would be plant paradise for you.

[@KelliesHoya]

I can't keep my aglaonema happy in soil. Now I just leep them in water and they are doing better.💚

The only one I have is the VSOH that I have in water. I really need to get it potted up. I have an Aglaonema with a lot of pink on it, but it didn't state the name. It's really pretty though.
