Okay but your sketches are the best openings 😂😂😂❤️

I love how excited you are when talking about your plants! It’s endearing and contagious!

I love pothos. They’re so underrated! I have a cutting pot going and it just took off! It’s got so much new growth and is filling out so fast! And it can be neglected and still thrive!

Uh I love this. I sometimes have to ground myself & look at ALL of my babies & appreciate them. Sometimes I get so wrapped up into these trendy rare houseplants & I stop appreciating the ones that got me into this hobby in the first place. I have spent so much money on these expensive plants & yes they make me happy, but recently I have stopped. My last purchase was a boobie cactus so I think that's a good place to end the rare plant buying for the year lol. I need to really start appreciating the plants for their beauty again, not their pricetag. We get so wrapped up into that sometimes so I'm ready to get humble again with my babies. 😂🌿💚

String of hearts, I think...🌵

Please do a specific video on dieffenbachia (propagation, caring, soil type, fertilizer, when to water and when to not) if u can do a plant of the week or plant of the months and full details about the plant it will help people who live in Canada, Ontario ( especially) thank you

[ZoeMcDash]

That intro, hilarious! Unicorn tears! 🤣 Love this video series. Please keep them coming! I agree that the more common Scindapsus are definitely underrated! I actually just ordered an Exotica in place of the Treubii and I feel it will have just as strong an impact! 💗🌿

[suedub]

That intro was everything!

I love all the plants you showcased. I have variations of them and I agree that plants that are readily available are just as great!

[margotl]

Diffenbachias always look great at other peoples places :x

I don't have an Alocasia but all the rest you mentioned are definitely favorites of mine too! Especially the Pothos....I have several Pothos: N Joy, Pearls and Jade, Marble, Manjula, Golden, Snow Queen, Exotica, Silvery LOVE them all!! I think all Hoyas are beautiful but after you go thru the Carnosas, Obovata, Kerrii, Pubicalyx, Wyettii (sp?), Krinkle 8 and the bean and grass looking ones they do start to look the same. I watched a video of a growing facility in Indonesia and the grower couldn't even tell them apart without reading labels! I hear all the blooms are magnificient and unique but none of my Hoyas have bloomed yet. Anyway, have a great week, Christian! And thank you for the informative and entertaining videos!

Alocasia and Dieffenbachia win hands down for elegance with me…I love it when I see videos where others have a passion for them too… I long for the day of a huge Alocasia again as mine was attacked 3 times by spider mite but I haven’t given up. I salvaged parts I could and now have 4 little plantings and 2 bulbs…(are they called bulbs ) that are doing amazingly well and it’s exciting watching them grow ❤️👍👍👍👍

I too almost killed my dieffenbachia. I made the mistake of reporting it into too big of a pot. I was able to revive it and now it’s thriving! It’s finally starting to get bigger and more variegated leaves again 😊 I’m so proud.

[blujeans]

My oldest plant is a dieffenbachia! It is the mom to dozens of my friend's plants. But, alas, I now throw away her cuttings. There are only so many people that want the cuttings! She was given to me by my boss when I was in my 20s in the 1970s. I no longer repot her - but she seems happy - although I keep her small now, since she used to be about 5' tall. Great video!

[saileysalazar]

Hands down you have been the most help on my plant journey. Thank you!

[gogumarshmallow]

love the intro. thanks for all your videos and keeping us grounded

[evansjambali]

I have marble queen pothos, in early of my plant game its the one that keep me excited, when the other plant takes time to grow, i always see new leaf popping out from my pothos and it makes me happy, thank you pothos you keep my spirit alive when other didnt show any progress 😊.. Btw that unicorn tears 😂

[brentseth]

I have a 30-year old diffenbachia, which I have to propagate every 2 years to keep it's size under control. I water it every 2 weeks without fail.

[melaniem]

Thank you Christian! You’re the best- Have them all and agree . Nice to have some plants you don’t have to fuss over.

[LilStampBug]
