You mentioned having a collection of Chinese Evergreens. I only have two so far, the regular green one, and one pink. Not sure which variety my pink one is by the ones you showed, but mine is stunningly beautiful!! I get soooo many compliments on it, and it's by far our fave plant in the house. I'd love to send you a picture, but not sure how?? I'd love for you to feature it in one of your future videos Hannah! Love your videos, especially when Marvin & Monster hang about! And love the education I get on my plants. Your big floor calathea is also stunning! ♡ That's on my wish list! Blessings! ♡

Gosh, I love your channel so much. I have quite q few of the low light plants you mentioned. I have the variegated peace lily and it is just gorgeous, it flowers all the time, less in the winter though. I have a large spider plant, it also has fewer plant babies in the winter, but in the summer it goes nuts, I have a bamboo and a ZZ plant. I would love to find a Fittonia "Frankie" that would be on my wish list, and also the peace lily petite, it is adorable. Loved this video and thank you so much for sharing, I am on the look out for a few more varieties of some of these plants to add to my collection. See you in your next video.

Loved this Video Hannah and i'm always lookin for low light plants because they great sunny spots are all taken by now 🙄🌿

[@larab5214]

I just love your videos and I agreed with all your plant choices for lower light! I was looking at the variegated Spath recently and was so tempted (though I just bought 2 plants and I try to pace myself) I used to work at a place called Tropical Gardens years ago (back when there wasnt the plant varieties you can find now-- all Spaths were the medium sized Spath. All Aglos were green-- How exciting it was when we had both Silver Queen and Silver King-- haha. This was about 1995 or 96) Anyway-- because of that, there are some plants I have never owned or wanted (Spaths and Aglos, for example!) Because I was so tired of them. After a long Tropical plant hiatus (busy with kids and then getting a career back on track), Ive been rediscovering them and its somewhat like waking from a coma because there are just so many choices now!! So-- Yes...I bought my first Aglonema (I think its called Red, but he is very pink) and Ive been so close to buying a Spath-- the variegated one almost had me! But mostly I still want the plants that were considered more rare back then (and used to he so expensive!)-- so its been a lot of Calatheas and orchids (You couldnt get a Phal back then for under $50 or $60 (us)) Unfortunately, I now live in a horrible house for keeping plants so its a bit of a struggle (Cold, dry, dark)- but you inspire me! After watching your videos- I found one of the plants that was new back in the day and rare and so expensive that I used to really want-- I was managing a retail greenhouse then and I still remember getting in the exotic African Mask! Hahaha- I only ordered 3-- People would walk in and say "What is that??" I think each one had 2-3 leaves and sold for $15 -$16 dollars. Now they are all over and I got a beautiful one right after you posted your Alocasia Polly video....honestly the nicest I've ever seen and twice as tall as the ones I used to sell, for $6.98!

Beautiful plants and a very professional video. My question is how do you deal with fungus gnats? If you don’t have them what is your recommendation?

[@berniea.3255]

I would like to know too! Been fighting them for awhile now. HarliG recommended Mosquito Bits sold on Amazon but so far, not working. Now trying Bonide Systemic Houseplant Insect Control granules and Neem Oil spray. Seems they have lessened but not totally gone.

[@jacquelinesamuels569]

Bernie A. I have tried the yellow sticky tabs that catch some of them but they just don’t go away. I’ve also tried neem oil to get rid of the larvae and still no success. I hate those things!

[@berniea.3255]

Jacqueline Samuels So do I! They are absolutely the hardest pest to get rid of! I just ordered the yellow sticky traps the other day. Guess that was a waste of money! Someone on You Tube said you can water with one part bleach to four parts water but I am too afraid to do that. Another said same thing except use 3% hydrogen peroxide. ????

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Jacqueline Samuels Fungus gnats are attracted to damp soil so try to avoid damp soggy soil. You can also do a neem oil/horticultural soap/warm water drench through the soil. Another thing you can do is to put a thin layer of sand or fine gravel on the top of your soil as they cannot burrow through this. I might do a video on this soon as I get asked a lot 🌿🌱

My kitchen is very, very low light - actually, it's quite dark!, and it has a small east window that gets a little morning sun. The walls are also a dark eggplant color (painted before my plant collecting days). However, I have a large golden pothos, 2 arrowhead plants (one in water), a heart shaped philodendron and a little crinkly pilea (can't remember the name). All of them seem to be quite content. I do, however, have the overhead light on most of the evening, so maybe they're happy - or, it's just luck!

In another recent vid you featured your new, gorgeous pink Fittonia.It's so ruffly looking! The name sounded familiar, yet I didn't recognize the specific plant. On that page, I'd asked about the leaf texture. It turns out - after you showing other Fittonias here, I recognized some I've had before - the types with white & with pink veins.Googled Fittonoa & of course saw the pink one you have & of course the pink & white veined ones like I used to have. I also noticed a few new-to-me dark wine colored ones. I probably didn't realize they like to remain wet, & may have given them too much sun Good to know they may need filtered or rain water. When the weather warms up a bit, I'd like to try find some again, to fill in a few spots on a dark wood, oval table I'm using which already holds several plants.I'd like to tuck some of the into the indirect but fairly bright spots. At the same time I had bought those types of "Nerve Plants", I had a few of the med-dark green leaved plants with polka dots.
