[@allolobophorus]

Great video, thanks! But you missed out the very best of all trailing houseplants: the SPIDER PLANT: It can be in full sun or in deep shade, thrives in any old soil, survives in hot and cold rooms and puts up with wet as well as dry conditions. It grows quickly but doesn't make a mess by dropping leaves. The elegant long leaves are striking and brighten up any room. The most beautiful variety is the one where the leaves are white on the outside and green in the center (white-green-white); this one grows more slowly and keeps a very proud shape for a long time. Best of all, the Spider Plant is super easy to propagate and gives even beginners a feeling of success. :) I think it deserves a video all by itself!

[@forest_green]

I adore my peperomia prostata (string of turtles). I got it last summer in a tiny 3 inch pot and it's now trying to take over my window. The leaves are tiny but so juicy, they look like little jelly candies.

[@christopherwelsh6665]

I must acquire that Manjura Pothos. I love that patterning of green and white on the leaves. I've never seen this beautiful variety before. I 100% agree that English Ivy is a sitting target for spider mites and other pests. I wish this were not so because there are so many beautiful cultivars.

[@NickPileggiPlants]

I love English Ivy but I just can’t risk bringing it in my home!

Super good video! Thank you. I love trailing plants. If anyone is heartbroken from losing leaves on the top, don’t worry you can just snip the tips a little, water propogate those leaves, then add them into the top of the plant! Most if these guys like to be pot bound so the more the merrier! 💗

Loving those sting of hearts and the ivy alternative. Satisfying to hear your perspective on English ivy not being easy to grow in the house. Everyone says how easy it is on KZbin. Mine almost died in the house. Put it outside in the sun and it's been fine ever since. I live in FL.

[@Bluemoon-sd8vp]

I enjoyed your show. I have a scindapsis like yours named Angel. I have had Angel 5 years. She got to be 6 feet long. I had to repot her. A 6 foot plant is not easy to repot. I pruned her. Last week she was 6 to 7 feet long. She got another haircut. I took 2 feet off. She is thick and full because the first clipped bunch got added back into the pot. It is a beautiful and happy plant.

[@Caeilia]

I'm just in love with my philodendron! They are so easy to maintain and so versatile too. I live in a small maisonette flat and the plant is currently growing up on one of the wooden pillars. They don't seem to damage the wood and are easy to remove.

[@GreenFireflyGirl]

I really expected cissus to make this list! I am in love with the beauty of my discolour, looking to branch out to an amazonica as well, and though it isn't the easiest house plant, it really has a beauty to it. I think if you're looking into rhipsalis now (I love my pilocarpa) I can expect you to start with some other jungle cacti as trailers soon too? Maybe some other succulents too, like a monkey tail cactus, lamb's tail, rat tail? Even the lowly string of pearls? There's a ton of trailers, worth mentioning, this should have been a top 20!

My oldest plant is a philodendron Brasil and I love it so much. I rescued it from an office space and, since repotting it and giving it new fresh rich soil, it started growing so fast and it gives me new leaves every week, and the variegation is gorgeous. So easy and so rewarding 🥰

I have a rhipsalis that must be 10 years old now, probably older. It is growing next to my kitchen sink, it hangs down onto the counter in a North facing window so it doesn’t get any sun.
