“And there’s a Muffin...” MY HEART!! She is precious, and I’m dying over your amazing collection! I have just under 100 plants and am utterly out of space, and yet I still have a list of plants I want to buy. I don’t have any friends who “get it,” so I turn to the PlantTube community- you people are my tribe! Thanks for the video!

[@patricialisowski1080]

Oh, listen! I get it! My two best,friends and I are crazed over plants. The internet is saving my sanity though...our families are just humoring us....

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Hahaha thanks so much for watching!! We all get it here 😉

[@tenderem]

Please keep us updated with that mystery monstera, so interested in seeing how it grows!

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Absolutely will do! How freakin’ cool is that ?!

[@Xxurdowg1]

30 seconds in and I’m already in love with your personality

[@ssamorgan2044]

Don't apologize for the sunlight, I haven't seen sun for almost two months. Nothing but clouds, gloom and rain. Cute little Muffin. My dog is named Muffin. Beautiful plants!

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Thanks so much! 🌱

[@helenakarasch2932]

Nick! I really enjoy you and summer rayne the best! I love it that you two can pronounce the botanical names for your plants! I really enjoy your plant tours and your sheer enthusiasm for our green friends. Great to see you back!

Love having Someone that works at a Plant shop explain plants! P.S. I also place plants on the microwave. Since My appliances are stainless steel....I use granite/ stainless as My catch pots. Thanks for All U do!

LOVE Muffin, black cats are the best 😻

[@goddess131]

wow that Needle Mahogany is so beautiful, and so cute when you showed Muffin sitting on top of the couch, for me Muffin was looking at you and thinking "what are you doing dad?" Thanks for the video.

[@sarimosher]

Hi Nick, could you please do a video on your watering method? You mentioned, in a previous video, that you don't water until your plants tell you. We would l💖ve to see a video how you go about this. Gorgeous plants, great vids!

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Great idea! Will have to one day 🎥

Hi Nick! I was so excited to see a post from you. I'm glad you are doing videos again and am looking forward to Part 2. You have so many beautiful plants. I wish I had room for that many..... Muffin is always a welcome presence in your videos. I've been watching your videos for quite some time, but have never commented before. Keep up the good work!

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Hey thanks so much!! I’m so busy with work, it is very hard to find time to film but my goal is to do at least two videos a month, so we’ll see how that goes!

[@sandyg8794]

Good luck! Looking forward to your next video!

[@naysneedle5707]

So many plants!!! Re the Alocasia Amazonica - don't let it dry out, it likes to stay evenly moist, but needs an open mix for drainage and aeration. I grow most of my tropicals in an approximately equal mix of potting mix, orchid mix and chopped sphagnum moss, often adding a bit of fine pumice if the potting mix I'm using is light on it. (Here in NZ we use pumice as you use perlite.) It makes a light, spongy mix that retains moisture but doesn't get waterlogged.

[@chippy727]

nays needle I agree, I keep my alocasia on the moist side and it seems to really thrive.

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Thanks for the tip ! 🌿

[@desertplantsofavalon]

I LOVED this video, you have so many BEAUTIFUL plants :-D thank you so much for sharing your beautiful collection with us and now I am off to watch part two haha

Wish I had more light, the succulent is tricky for me since my townhome doesn’t get a lot of sun. Nice video, I might just hit the nursery soon

[@nicoleadamyk2810]

loved the roommate comment because i have a ton of plants in my room that are "mine" but i live with my parents and theres probably close to 100 more around the house that are my "mom's" but really she wants me to take care of them lmao

loved the tour and of course Muffin, you should show her more often!!

Haha she’s normally busy playing in the back 😅

[@michelleschafer9692]

[@madelinehellena4596]

So glad to see I'm not the only nut that has over 250 pots in an apartment :)) I have about half the plants you listed, but my light is limited so I try to add more that need less light.

[@youwerewild]

I just loved this. You are so personable. And Muffin is the cutest. Great collection!

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Thank you so much !

[@karansepanik7584]

Beautiful plants I got 1 question. How do u keep up with watering that many plants I only have like 60 and that stresses me out when to water and not water

[@LeeDfined]

I have 72 and it does become hard to keep up with after a while.

[@seamseams]

I have over a hundred and it's not that hard. I go around every morning (takes about 15 minutes) and see what the situation is and water the ones that are in need. And I have like a major watering and checking day maybe once a week (takes like half an hour to an hour). I don't know, I guess I've just gotten used to it. Knowing your plants is also important, because every plant is an individual, every house is different with light, humidity and temperature levels, and the growing medium makes a difference. I usually first look at how the plant looks like (are the leaves drooping or showing some other signs), how the leaves feel like (are they firm and full or do they feel depleted, especially the more succulent types) and most importantly I stick my finger in the pot to see how dry/moist/wet the soil is. You can also feel the weight of the pot by lifting it up. If it is dry, it will be a lot lighter. So you just really have to get to know your plant friends, and you will also gradually develop a feel for how often they need to be watered. I have many that I basically can forget about and some that I need to keep checking a lot more. You'll get the hang of it! :)

[@naturelover8904]

I have over 150 and it has become 2nd nature. Not hard at all.

[@NickPileggiPlants]

I really just let my plants tell me when to be watered. Might sound crazy but I’ve gotten in such a rhythm with them, it’s as if they almost speak to me 😅 However once a month I usually have a bit of an “overhaul” if you will where I check over everything give some plant showers 🚿

[@MarioK992]

Finally! :D A new houseplant tour - love it! You are the best!

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Thanks so much! 🌿

Omg MUFFIINNNNNN!!! ❤️ I love your plants but she won the show for me 😆😍

[@thriftyacorns3545]

Excellent video and so many plants! I don’t know how you remember all of the names and details for them all. It puts my ten or so plants to shame!

[@andreadelcampo3491]

So glad ur back Nick! I have the same spots on my jungle boogie. I ordered 1way back when I saw urs in 1 of ur videos. I think an unboxing from NSE. I have been treating it for leaf spot. I’ve been keeping it away from my other plants also. I feel so much better now that u think it’s just from light lol. I always learn so much from you!

[@NickPileggiPlants]

I’ve noticed some sugars or something on the back of the leaves! Definitely not bugs, but not quite sure what’s going on 😅

[@CreaturesThird]

Hi, loved the tour! I wanted to mention I think the pothos at 16:18 might be a ‘pearls and jade’ or even possibly a manjula, though I’d lean more towards the first. N’joy typically has almost no “splatter effect” on the leaves, more strictly a mosaic effect.

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Hey thanks so much for the tip!!

[@ohyeaitsjen]

Your collection is amazing!! I'm obsessed!

[@binkabon]

The 4 year old "baby" zz plant 12:03 is so cute!!

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Haha thanks so much! It was from a leaf cuttings I started in early 2015

[@HouseplantLover]

Hi Nick! I think the spots on your Jungle Boogie Philo mean overwatering! I can’t wait for part 2

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Hey thanks for the tip !

[@maunster3414]

26:31, for your plant on the totem, you could keep the totem wet thus encouraging the plant to it.

[@Cami-de6of]

Love that schefflera amate! I've been looking for one in my area to no avail. It's such a classic, beautiful plant!

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Ask your local garden center! Whoever order the plants can find almost anything 🤓

[@minnied.5946]

Aww your cat is so cute! Love your plant collection.

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Thanks so much ! 🌿

[@blossomsandbundles]

Muffin is so cute!!! Cats and plants definitely go in the same video. I mean, what cat doesn't love something to rub against and nock over? Also I keep bamboo in my fish tank propagation area and my cat tends to eat that in the winter when he can't get grass outside. I think they probably need greens of some kind so I keep it around for him. Looking forward to the next video!

Hello...loved all of your beautiful plants. I have absolutely ZERO plants in my apartment and a very active cat. How do you keep your cat from chewing up your plants? And are all of your plants safe for your cat? I really want to get some plants in my home.

[@shyegurli]

Great part 1 tour cant wait for the 2nd part. Will you be selling any of your Raphidiphora Tetrasperma cuttings? I've been looking all over for that plant.

[@alfonsoahumada9709]

Someone told me that most times variegation is caused by viruses,I have I variegated white & I noticed some new growth was completely green some like yours with lime green,so that's nature,I finally got to see some pure white ones yay I love it when it does that 🤗love your plants

[@radicallad]

Variegation actually comes from mutations in heredity of chlorophyll pigment- plants inherit their chlorophyll through chloroplasts, so it's matrialineal and not a result of disease

You may need a 12 Step Program. Maybe we can get a group rate. Ha Ha

I used to have that Kalanchoe at 1:49, and I really miss that plant. I think I over watered it and didn't give it enough light. So I will have to try again. You have amazing light in your spot as well. You said 230 plants, I believe. I thought I was doing something with 72 plants.

[@mirapuff2072]

Hi Nick, Im a new plant mom and I found your channel a few weeks ago! I ADORE your authenticity and happy spirit. I also have a kitty and I know a lot of websites say some plants are toxic for pets, If you had time, I would love any info you have regarding kitties and an urban jungle. I did watch your video about plant safe plants, I was just hoping for more of a personal opinion on if it matters or not~ I hope you have a wonderful day

[@arieltherrien2025]

So I noticed you have lots of plants that are toxic to cats, but your cats are obviously very healthy! Do you have any issues keeping your cats from your plants? I love your collection!

[@Persvades]

Ariel Therrien most cats don’t go eating every plant they see. They have common sense unless you got them bored out of their mind

Love your plant collection:)

[@shortylucy]

Hello! I found your channel a few days ago, and am so happy I did. I first watched your safe for kitties video, and wondered if most of the plants in this part 1 video are also safe for them. I have 2 kitties, and I love them, but I want houseplants too!

[@davidrice7969]

If you let tap water sit out at least 24 hours before watering the plants, is it true that it is better for the plants (affects the chlorine)? Or is that just a common myth? Also, I am curious--if you didn't live in an apartment and had a yard, would you be equally interested in outdoor plants/trees? :)

[@lilhungarianjenny]

Hi Nick, great video! Could you do a kind of view of your room so that we can see the windows and lighting? I have two south facing windows and I feel like plants just 10 feet away aren't getting enough light. I find myself trying to crowd all my plants around the windows.

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Hi! My bedroom is 8x8, very small so even the plants against the back wall get a lot of direct light. I typically recommend growing most plants within 10 feet of a south facing window, 6 from an east or west, and 2 from a north but of course that is very subjective
