Uncommon Versions Of Common Houseplants

[@MaddieMettler]

It’s so nice to hear a plant person on KZbin gush over “everyday” plants that are “common” or “boring.” It seems like so many people on KZbin and IG are so elitist about their plants. Not everyone can afford to spend $250 on a rooted cutting!

[@LynnAgain83]

THANK YOU! Or they ironically promote the same plants or similar to what's on their expensive website or are giving rave reviews for multiple online stores that also charge triple for a common plants. It's a tough time for so many nowadays I just can't and won't ever buy any tiny 4" plant let alone a cutting for $100 and up. Absolutely NO hate to those that are fortunate enough to do so I just feel some KZbinrs,influencers etc have made plants become a sort of status symbol and all about $$$$ and fake reviews to get free stuff.

[@NickPileggiPlants]

I hear you, I don’t ~love~ what’s going in the plant community right now. I’ve been admittedly avoiding spotlighting these overrated, overpriced plants to try not to contribute. I love all plants for what they are and it’s a total shame to see the way the plant market is at the moment. I consider myself lucky to have started collecting 6 years ago - I 100% wouldn’t be able to have the collection I’ve accumulated if it wasn’t for that with the way things are

[@0carinaofthyme]

I like to hope the trends will go away soon and folks will just buy plants they enjoy. I have some harder to find plants and one of my favs is actually my thanksgiving cactus! No point to buy an expensive or hard to care for plant that you don’t feel happy about when you see it. No thanks to plants that bring me stress. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@nichelle6058]

@Maddie YES! Exactly. I get so annoyed at the many plantTubers and FB groups who turn their noses up at ivy, peace lilies, and pothos like they are somehow beneath having such 'commoners' in their presence. 🙄 I realize there is such a thing as personal preference however time and time again I witness many a gorgeous plant being overlooked and passed over because it’s not an albo this or varigated half-moon that. I think it’s ludicrous that people pay $$$$ to acquire these 'rare' cuttings with like 2-3 leaves only to fry them crispy under grow lights! 🤦🏻‍♀️ lol I just don’t get it.

[@NoBootyBeauty]

$250 on a rooted cutting, girl that's cheap! Some on ebay aren't even rooted!!!!!! 😂 AND you can get a whole plant from regular online store for less 😤

[@pokemomster]

I love that Nick never puts plants down for being commonly available or less showy. He’s really helped me appreciate little traits of veination, textures and growth habits. Congrats on taking the plunge and best of luck in this new phase of your journey Nick!

[@LynnAgain83]

That's one of the reasons Nick is my favorite plant person on yt. I've tried more well known plant channels but they seem to promote the same plants they're selling for triple the price they're actually worth Another one is always promoting and getting free plants from many different online plant shops it just seems a bit disingenuous. NO hate,to each their own but I just won't spend over $20 on a plant I only own common houseplants but I love them and that's all that matters

[@NickPileggiPlants]

I really appreciate hearing that ! Thank you 💚

[@merricklawrence6793]

i realize I'm kind of off topic but do anybody know a good site to stream newly released movies online ?

[@raylandecker5932]

@Merrick Lawrence Try Flixzone. Just search on google for it =)

Cebu Blue photos stole my heart the first time I saw it!

[@hoedown175]

I love how chill you are about all your plants and that you focus on everyday plants! It's refreshing to all the Insta plants that everyone seems to want to collect and show off.

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Thank you !! 💚

[@Valkyrie0312]

I love this comment and totally agree. I have a plantstagram and it's full of every day plants 😂 because I love them and they're beautiful. I feel like I'm constantly posting photos of my gorgeous jade pothos leaves. Just plant green, but so pretty. There are some of us out there trying to balance out all the insta fancy plants!

[@shawneek1972]

Can't think of a more perfect start to the day than with a new Nick Pileggi video 💚

I bought my first philodendron Brasil today at Whole Foods- I love it 🥰😢

[@amoijoy573]

It grows so fast, you’ll be surprised.

[@susansanchez4794]

Hi Nick, just love your videos, love all your plants, never worry when you go off topic, the more information we plant parents can learn, the better, plus gives us an excuse to go out and buy more plants 😁, you're a sweetheart for sharing, have a great weekend 😃🌿💚💚

[@NickPileggiPlants]

💚💚

[@vincetravis8701]

I love that you talk about more common houseplants with the same enthusiasm as the rare ones. A lot of folks on KZbin tend to talk down or not even mention common houseplants. As much as I love the expensive exotic plants, I will still say that I probably adore my golden pothos the most.

[@sassysucculent6291]

Nick always has unique content ideas. Love this 💚

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Thank you 💚🌿

[@ameliagraham92]

I run subtitles because there is often a lot of background noise in my busy home. I am used to the odd spellings and humorous word substitutions when watching plant videos, but this one took the prize. It translated Philodendron Radicans as "Ratty Cans," and I thought your viewers would find that humorous. I love your little Philodendron Vietchii. I have a picture of the big ones next to the Spiritus Sancti at NSE tropicals I used as background on my computer for awhile. Where does one find a tiny one like that? As always I found your content informative and entertaining. Thanks Nick!

[@jjunebb]

I love your rough clay/terra-cotta pots!

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Thanks ! I think they’re called “rustic” or “farmhouse” terra cotta in the industry, in case you or anyone wants to look them up to purchase

[@gricelserrano5383]

Just went to home depot today and found crimson queen and Brasil. So excited

[@LynnAgain83]

Nice!

[@VickyHafler]

I love how easy the Cebu Bleu is. I love mine! Thank you for the video.

[@TaraJo]

One of my favorite things about consistently watching your videos is seeing all that new growth on your Philo Mayoi back there!!

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Haha! It’s been doing really well

[@MyFellowFoliage]

I found the little off topic example of how anthuriums start out super tiny is so helpful! I have a little one that's just starting to grow and it's my very first! So I have no idea what to expect and am delighted to hear they get much larger! Thanks for sharing.

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Of course ! 🌿

[@crushedice12387]

Am I the only one who gets excited to see what plant Nick is going to pull into the camera next...either wondering if it’s one that you have too or one that you will need to be purchasing next! Hands down my favorite plant channel!💚🌱🍃🌿

[@ame1861]

I've got no words to express how much I love your channel and even though Idk you personally, you strike as a great guy and an awesome friend.

[@NickPileggiPlants]

That’s sweet, thank you!! 💚☺️🌿

[@alyssaxastarita]

I adore my philodendron brazil I swear she's absolutely majestic and I would be devastated if she died on me. Super easy care so far I've had it for about six months. Huge full bushy hanging plant..I was shocked to find it where I did and the price was so reasonable! I'm working on propagations of it bc I need plant insurance 🤣

[@LynnAgain83]

Brazilian philos are one of my faves! I have a beautiful golden pothos,a tradescantia zebrina, Asparagus setaceus fern and a neon Philodendron. Yes,they're common but I could care less,they were cheap and I absolutely adore them. 💚😊🌿

[@donnaroberts9119]

I love all my variations of pathos and philodendrons. I’m waiting till next spring to start combination baskets for friends. I love gifting plants!

[@Jeraaa349]

I love anthuriums and their flowers, even the most basic colors. But the Shibori version of the flowers are a show stopper and beautiful!

Greetings from Pico Rivera, California! Finally had time to catch up on your channel and finally subscribe. As for quitting your job to better yourself....... CONGRATS!!! Honey, you have balls bigger than your head!!! 😁 I worked for 12 yrs in a miserable abusive job just for the sake of a steady check. If it had not been for the 2008 recession I know I'd still be there waiting it out to retire. I'm proud that you have a vision of what you want next in your life. GO FOR IT WITH ALL YOU'VE GOT. Make mistakes, learn, GROW! DON'T SETTLE! You don't need me to wish you luck, but I do. You're going to do great. Love the channel, glad I finally subscribed!👍💕

I am just starting my plant collecting journey and am enjoying learning from you.

I love the dark color that veins through that pot!

Hi Nick! Another fun video! I have the golden pothos, cebu blue pothos and the philo Brasil and love all of them! They are so easy to grow and are so full. I may try staking them to see if the leaves get bigger, but just enjoying them trailing right now. I really like your little white anthurium. I noticed last week that I have a flower coming out on my Chinese Evergreen, and then another one the other day. I'm anxious to see what they look like! As always, I love your enthusiasm, sense of humor and love for your plants. Thank you so much for sharing! Oh, and you can get off topic any time you want to! LOL!

[@JackOfAllTrades0404]

I love the look of most of the “basic” plants, which is great because they tend to be budget friendly and more forgiving.

Good morning Nick. I love your video’s they are very interesting and informative. I love all my Philodendrons. I really want to get Cebu Blue. But haven’t been able to find them in my area in Sacramento, California yet. I’m still looking. Thank you for you video’s.

[@brendaallid-makalintal4345]

Thank you for saying Cebu properly! Hahaha! I was born in Cebu and it’s painful to hear the name said so incorrectly by most. By the way, my Cebu Blue pothos is one of my most favorite plants. Mine is so large and lush but was quite hard to find. It is elusive, for sure. I’ve also learned that it is much slower to propagate and a little bit more difficult to grow initially until it actually decides to take off and grow finally. It is absolutely stunning though!

[@Christodophilus]

I've come to accept I don't have enough light and warmth during winter, for philodendrons and peperomias to survive. Sad, because I love some of these very diverse group of plants. But I do have the staple Epipremnums which can survive, as well as Sansevierias, Dracenas, Bromeliads and surprisingly, the Ctenanthe variety of prayer plants. As well as the Domino variety of spaths, which you actually put me onto. I would love a Cebu Blue to add to my Epipremnum collection, unfortunately, in Australia they cost over $200 for a cutting. Maybe one day. Cheers for these comparisons.

[@toddbigeasy]

I was just making a wish list for a few that I want, I already have too many according to my husband, so I am sneaking in a few here and there. The Anthurium I would really love to have...thanks!

[@LynnAgain83]

[@NickPileggiPlants]

[@hondarider0987]

I really love your videos for how knowledgeable you are about plants! It would be really nice and exciting if you quickly showed a little picture of the plants that you mention throughout the video. Just to spread the plant appreciation to even more varieties that might not make it in the video :)

[@rachelwinslow6983]

I have a ton of cebu blue and easily my favorite

The obscura is one of my wishlist hoyas. I really like how the sunstressed foliage looks ...the blooms are nice too but but they are more of a bonus.

[@dees.1686]

Just found your channel and I'm binge watching! Great info. Where did you get that darling terra cotta planter with the decorative edge that the Peperomia Tetragona is in?

[@riverp9019]

I wish i could find the orange stemmed Epipremnum aureum, it's utterly gorgeous. I've only ever seen it on Bali growing up coral walls in a very dry area of that Island. Having said that they grew it in the outdoor bathrooms..coral is very porous and guests in that far flung area very thin on the ground so they didn't get much water from shower splash. The stems were a stunning bright bright orange, the leaf variegation is the same as aureum just much deeper yellow. I will have to wait for the end of Covid to go plant hunting there again. I'm not sure what the juvenile foliage and stems look like as these were already adult. Because of the climate and lack of rain they grow very very slowly, so a plant no more than a meter long already has adult foliage and is years and years old. The intense orange stems were ridged and flattened against the coral stone like lava flow. Gorgeous things. Being stunted in this manner produces a very attractive plant. Large but few leaves on very short internodes and a much thickened in this case flat stem one or two roots going down into the ground to keep them alive, no more. The leaves persist for many many years. I will definitely be taking my camera next time! PS - as cute as you make it sound - there is no "pip" in Epipremnum, it's Epi-premnum as in epiphyte, epeeee-prem-num. LOL

[@s.c5085]

Good inspiration i just luv ya

[@MikeyDonna]

Nick, I am 78 years old, have had houseplants all my life but have now run across something I have never seen. Some of my plants sweat and drip a clear liquid from their leaves. Pothos, young Monstera, and Dumb Cane especially, and mostly for a few days after watering. I do not overwater and let dry completely between. It is a lot. It puddles up on the leaves of the Dumb Cane. Have you ever seen this? Donna Lewis

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Donna! I hope you don't mind me answering. I've heard that that is normal, but couldn't remember what it is called. This is what I found when I googled it: Transpiration is the process by which moisture or water is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere. Transpiration is essentially evaporation of water from plant leaves. Transfusion and translocation do not involve the loss of water. I hope this helps! Sandy
