2:35 is a pachira aquatica, not schefflera, i think. They're swamp plants and love a lot of moisture.

Sorry about your difficult plants Harli, I've reduced my collection to the most hardy and easy to grow, focusing on leaf shape, size and coloration only. Less heartache.

[ceecee]

I wholeheartedly agree with a big chunk of your struggle plants. I killed a money tree, countless peperomias, the watermelon one, a pricey Monstera TC that died a slow death, and I try to stay away from string of anything! Glad to be able to relate to a seasoned planty friend!

My peperomia hope experience: Do not water until the soil is bone dry (and beyond), and when you water, do it from the bottom, and only let the bottom half of the soil to drench. Mine gets only a small amount of light, and is thriving and growing nicely. Good luck!

Harli, a few thoughts:

1) Watermelon Peperomia: the leaves are growing in jagged due to lack of humidity. My plant's leaves were looking that way and once I put it near a humifier, the plant turned around. You can propagate the leaves but cutting them in half and putting them in soil (like a succulent!) - videos are available on YouTube. I propagated the heck out of mine and planted the babies back into the mother plant, leading to beautiful, full plant.

2) Peperomia Peperomioides: mine began looking like yours and I cut the stem near the base and cut the long stem into smaller ones. I propagated the stems in water, and roots appeared really quickly. I then planted those stems back into the mother plant and ended up with a lush plant again. The stem on the original plant produced new leaves too.

This plant seems to like bright indirect light. When I had it on an east-facing window, it grew well but the leaves cupped inward. When I moved it a few feet away fromt the window, the leaves grew flat, as they're supposed to.

I can't stant when plantslook scraggly so I tend to propagate and add to the main plant, for a larger, fuller, more lush plant.

“Calm down, you’re a mother.” Too funny!!😂😂🤣

Love your giggle Harli, it's so infectious. ❤️

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! It's nice to know I'm not the only one with multiple plant fails.

I finally realized it's much better (emotionally😌) to toss the ugly plants, and stick to those that can thrive with my way of plant parenting.

Way too many so-called "house" plants will not look great anywhere but in a freakin' greenhouse!

Love your honesty!

So glad to hear someone else struggles with Pilea peperomioides!! I have two that are just always struggling and dropping leaves no matter what I seem to try, and I squeal every time someone says they’re easy 🫠

[alyshabozak]

It took me having and almost losing my pilea peperomioides and then getting a job at a greenhouse before knowing how to take care of mine. It’s still not the best, but my mojito is doing so well. It basically wants to get just as much sun and a succulent but with more water. Their roots are super shallow and thin. They don’t like being dry at all so that means just watering more often. I’m also testing out a self watering pot with a wick.

[dianeallen]

I have decided to just get the "easy" plants so I don't have to stress so much. I think I'm getting to old to keep trying to keep all varieties happy 😂 but I love your videos you are such a sweetheart ❤

[checkitoutsevstyle]

I absolutely loved your energy in this video!! You’re so funny and entertaining BIG fan 🤍

[hypatiakumbera]

First string of hearts, people notoriously underwater them. Although they like to dry out between waterings, if you let it get to the point where the leaves fold, the plant will not have enough water to grow large leaves or keep the old leaves. They need to be watered as soon as the soil gets dry. And lots of light! Especially at the top of the pot

[bsidianeyes]

I’m so glad you made this video. Almost every one of these plants has also given me trouble! Pilea peperomiodies and Peperomia hope - once you find a spot they like, do not move them, do not change ANYTHING. Or they will be fussy. And with the Hope, propping is also difficult (and technically it’s copyrighted) so it’s harder to just start over.

[lorifox]

My Pep. HOPE for super happy when I wrapped her around my shelf going up. So many leaves came out and continue to come all the time!

[sherylingram]

On the mother of millions, I grew this when I worked at a greenhouse. I found that when I kept it cut back, it branched and made a much sturdier plant, plus it looked better than one tall stem.

[sandyk]

HARLI, YOU MAKE ME FEEL SO MUCH BETTER ABOUT MY CASUALTIES! TY

[karlamaxine]

Thank you for keeping the names of the plants up for longer ! That helps a lot.


And omg I have the issue with all these plants. You are right, there is no telling what to do for these plants.

[ashleygonzalez]

Watermelon peperomia are SO hard! Ugh! Ive tried so hard and kill it every time lol. Peperomia Hope on the other hand, I’ve done so good with it. I’ve had mine about 8 months now and it’s grown so much. It’s constantly giving me new leaves. I live in California and I have it in a West window. It gets direct sunlight everyday from about 3pm-7pm or so. I know they love direct light. I also water mine when it’s about a 3 on my moisture meter. Love you Harley!

[greggiepooh]

Sometimes I think the medium they come in just isn’t right for our home conditions. I repot plants into my soil mix and sometimes they do better that the medium they come in.
