Hi Steph! Kim in Ohio here…Hoping I can help you out for once Lol. I’m pretty experienced with indoor house plants. One I think you can’t go wrong with is a ZZ plant. They do well in shaded areas, are very hardy, and almost impossible to kill. Try one out!

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Kim! Thank you SO much! I have read this in a few comments now. That's what I'll do! I'm going to look for a dark leaved one, the raven. Hopefully it can handle low light also. Thank you for the recommendation 🪴

When My son Brad was born in 1975. My husband worked at Sears and they sent us a dish garden that has several little types of plants in it. The peace Lily kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger And I finally divided it and now I have 2. It has been alive that long.

[@HookedandRooted]

Carole, that is wonderful 🌱💚

[@deborahburgart561]

Omg!!! I made the chicken thighs last night!!! EVERYONE LOVED IT SO MUCH!!!! My mother in law asked for the recipe and even my picky step daughter squeezed out a compliment. 😂 Thanks Steph!!!

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Deb! Oh this comment made so happy, that you took your time to come back to let me know that you family enjoyed it. I appreciate it, and thank you so much for watching my videos 🥰

New subscriber so I'm catching up on some of your oldies but goodies. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw your Rocco working so hard to get to the squeaker. My cocker, Milo, does the same thing. Most of his stuffies have lost their squeaks, thanks to his obsession. Thanks for the video. Loved it! ❣ Louise

[@jolielutrario6930]

Another great episode of your At Home series, Steph. Your Honey Soy Chicken with rice and roasted carrots is on my menu for tonight. I'm sure it will taste as delicious as it looks. Enjoyed your houseplant tour and loved watching the adventures of precious Rocco.

[@lindakay8171]

Great video, thanks for sharing all of your houseplants with us. Your corn plant gave me inspiration to buy another one. My first one was a hand me down from my son-in-law's relative which finally died. I had it for several years so I can't complain. The chicken meal looks really yummy, may have to give it a try. Have a great week!!

[@daisygurl3601]

I made the roasted carrots tonight for supper and they were delicious. I didn’t have ginger and I added a tiny bit of maple syrup instead. Your homestead looks absolutely magical with that carpet of snow! Stay toasty! Blessings…daisy

[@HookedandRooted]

Ohhhh that maple syrup must have made them delicious!! I'll try that next time, thank you so much for sharing. Glad you enjoyed them, and thank you so much for watching 💚

[@newt52864]

I like the staking for your monstera, it blends right in 🧡

[@HookedandRooted]

Thank you! That's what I loved too, and the branching I think will be really helpful also. 🪴

[@debbiepeloso6012]

Big storm last night on the Cape. Tree fell and crashed through our fence. 19 acres of woods behind us with coyotes so tree company coming soon to help. Your video will be a nice distraction for me a little later in the day.

[@jessicadoehling4081]

Loving the "at home" videos. They are so cozy and give me inspiration for things to do this time of year. I made the Honey Soy Chicken and it was great!

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Jessica, I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

[@mariar2183]

I love that Meal with the chicken. I’m definitely making that, it looks delicious 🤤 😋 and super easy to make after a busy day. I love the Peperomia obtusifolia plant, very low maintenance and no direct light required. I learned so much from all your videos. Keep on posting 😊 thanks for sharing ❤

[@pennysantana7809]

Wow, I watch every video, but know I really can't wait to get into our new house to grow indoor plants again. The house we are in now has literally no light coming from the windows. The new house is going to have no houses next to us and a lot of windows. I miss my indoor plants for sure. Also, it's great knowing I can do that with my poppies. Thank you for giving us that information. As always, love watching, and God bless ❤ 🙏 and be safe. P.s. it's snowing here in Tennessee, too.

[@soniewhitten4844]

I have a black zz plant that is doing great in filtered light. My oldest plant is 42 years old from a planter from my dad's funeral. Still in the first pot it was transplanted in.

[@budgetgardeningvita]

Hi Steph. Have you had success in the past with sowing the poppy seeds on the snow? I'd like to give it a try here in New Hampshire. Our snow melted but I think I can still try this with all the cold weather headed our way.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi! Yes, I have. In 2022 that's exactly what I did and it worked out beautifully. I hope these seeds I collected will germinate for me. 🤞🌱 give it a try, it's still early enough to throw some down. Just be sure to remember where you scattered the seeds as to not accidentally weed them out or walk on them. I've done it and was so sad about it lol

[@janeclancey8044]

This is such a wonderful idea for wintertime (I also live in MA) videos with your house plant tour, poppyseeds in the snow and the delicious looking roasted chicken recipe (which I can’t wait to try). Thanks Steph! You made a great video even the part with Rocco ripping apart his little stuffed monkey!

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Jane! Thank you so much for watching. We've finally begun getting winter weather over the last week over here in MA. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, thank you so much for watching. Stay warm this week, if you have snow heading your way. We're due to get some again Mon night/Tuesday this week.

[@carlas872]

That looks like a delicious recipe to try! I laughed when you showed Rocko destroying his Christmas monkey. Thank you for sharing and I will also try sowing some poppies on the snow. I just have to remember where they are so that I don't pull them in the spring thinking they are weeds.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Carla, thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Oh yes, definitely a good idea to remember where you sprinkle the seeds. I've actually done that, both weeded them out accidentally and trampled them walking in my beds doing spring bed cleanup. 🌱

[@angelaengler2387]

I’m on my second Birkin, the first was accidentally killed when my potting shed temperature dipped below 50degrees one winter night when I had to put some of my houseplants in my heated shed to make room in my sun room for the Christmas tree. They do not like the cold at all! Every other plant I had in there was fine. I hope yours perks up for you❤️

[@amyhoff1501]

I love 💕 this video , the chicken I will most definitely make in the future when my daughters come to visit. You have a beautiful houseplant collection, I also love 💕 your curtains. I had the same struggles with my Pilea plant , It put more growth on during the summertime outdoors, I believe it really liked those conditions . My Garten Center in town has has all kinds of beautiful houseplants for sale during the gardening season and they are only 5 to 6 dollars each so I picked up another Pilea this summer that was a good size and more bushy , so far it’s doing well .

[@capecodcottagegarden]

Hi Steph, I inherited about 6 or 7 houseplants from my daughter when she moved. They all need attention and I have been putting it off for while but this video reminded to get it done. Also the chicken looks yummy and I discovered roasting carrots this summer and I actually still have carrots from my garden so thats a plus. Great series:)

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Carol! The winter is the perfect time for house plant care. Gives us a bit of a "gardening fix" when we can't be outside in our gardens. Yay for roasted carrots, and that you still have some from your garden! that's wonderful. I've only grown carrots successfully once. Root crops and brassicas give me some trouble. Great job! 🥕🥕🥕 Thanks so much for watching!

[@tinaroller1741]

Beautiful houseplants, Steph! Thank you for the inspiration 💚

[@SharkSandwich451]

OMG so funny - I am a soup girl, too. I take my crockpot out and make my soup (whichever can be made with whatever I have on hand.) Gotta have lots of garlic in it - gonna try that this year just to see if I can grow it along with my tomatoes to try my summer sauce again. The good news is that my Bakers Creek poppies are doing very well (cold sow method) BUT my Johnny’s champagne poppies are not (surprisingly) and your monstera is BEAUTIFUL. No brown tips and so glossy - you could win a contest. As for the fungus gnats: I use those Amazon glue stakes that are shaped like flowers or suns and they just get trapped in them and then they are gone for good.

Jade plant does well in low light.

[@donnagent6046]

If you like trailing/vining plants, I recommend Syngoneums. They can tolerate lower light. The pink ones are especially pretty.

[@ashleyfowler9765]

A ZZ plant would be a good one to add to the corner of your stand. They can tolerate low light.

[@HookedandRooted]

Thank you so much for the recommendation Ashley! 🪴

Love the new plant stakes! Ordered. 👏

[@theawesomepersonchuney9742]

Hi Steph the zz plant will do great on that table , not to dark but just enough light . I have some in light & I have some in dark corners they both do well but the ones in light do much better, I have gotten all my zz plants from one, they grow pretty quickly., if you can’t remember the last time you watered them wait another week or two then water. They’ll do 😊

[@jackiewhitney5031]

Yes, I water mine every 2 months. It's a winner!

[@HookedandRooted]

Thanks for the tips! That's awesome! Its on my list 🪴

[@jilliebean2574]

Hi Steph! I know this is months after you first made the video, but I too picked up a couple of the Polka Dot plants. I love them and the leaves are nice and long, but I can't take credit for it or tell you any tips or tricks because it came that way. I do know that I have been getting all the leaves healthy by giving it indirect light and watering only when needed (it came with a self watering special pot with wicks from the bottom). So far so good!

[@barbb.9489]

Always fun and educational, Steph!❤

[@cindywengryn4281]

I was just watching your video and maybe you could try a ZZ plant in that area where you need something for low light. I have had good luck with the ZZ plant in low light Thank you for all your content I love your channel.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Tia Goretti, Oh yay, you love house plants too! I am starting to get better with them now, but it I've killed quite a few with too much watering etc over the last few years. I hope you can find a swiss cheese plant, they are really cool looking! Thank you for watching my video, xoxo 😘🪴💚

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Maria! Oh that's a great idea! I hope it turns out well and you enjoy it!

[@liliromero4910]

I think that a zz plant in that corner with the spider plant would work beautifully, they are impossible to kill and you can even get a raven zz if you want dark foliage. The monstera adensonii - if you put a pole it will climb and the leaves will be bigger than a plate or more. The silver satin “pothos” is a scindapsis, not a pothos. Your Peace Lily I think needs more light and let it dry in between watering, the leaves should not be curled like that.

[@KimatRevAcres]

Hi Steph, another great video adding that recipe to my menu very easy. I noticed you wash the rice before cooking is that to remove additional starch? Your gardening talent extends to indoors beautiful plants and I love the Better & Homes stand. For that pocket of shade maybe try a Birds Nest Fern another one would be Frosted Fern.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hello, oh yay, I hope you enjoy the recipe. Yes, I rinse the rice to remove excess starch and to "wash it". It was something I started doing years ago, I must have read about doing it somewhere. Thank you so much for your kind words, and for the suggestion on a plant for my kitchen hutch. I appreciate it 🥰

[@HannahofYore]

Can other perennial seeds be planted directly on the snow? Thanks!

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi there! I would say yes, although I haven't tried. But thinking about it, its what nature does naturally. The plants dry, drop seed, and create new plants. My echinacea (coneflowers) drop seed and make babies like crazy. Give it a try 🌱

Great video! Loved the plant tour. I’m having a fungus gnat problem with my majesty palms 🌴☹️I thought they loved moisture. What did you do to take care of your gnat problem? I have a small false aralia plant 🪴 that has been growing tall in a low light area. It has 3 shoots that remind me of miniature trees. Really cute! I think it would be perfect in the open spot on your cabinet.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Denise! a small drop of dawn dish soap in a spray bottle with water, and spray the soil it helps some. Also, letting the plant dry out between watering. I've learned that leaving the soil moist is perfect breeding grounds for fungus gnats. I've also tried a very weak solution of hydrogen peroxide with water. Like 1 part peroxide to 6 parts water. The sticky traps also work well and I used those I had purchased at Lowes as well. Thank you so much for the plant suggestion, and for watching my video.

[@mal1090]

Hi Steph! Have you had good success with sowing poppies in this method? I know poppies don’t like having their roots disrupted, but I’m always so nervous to sow them this way! I’ve had decent success with winter sowing and transplanting poppies, but it seems like poppies just generally have a low germination rate for me. I’m considering winter sowing peat pots in milk jugs this year and transplanting the peat pots as a work around! But if you suggest the direct sow into snow and have had good luck, then I trust you and am willing to risk some seeds! ☺️
