Good morning #TheThread , it’s Sunday so you know what time it is!
WELCOME TO THE… #PlantRant ! Today we are talking about “easy to care” houseplants.
First off, spider plants. Nontoxic lil plants, but pack A PUNCH. If you don’t give them water that is chlorine free and filter with plant product, you’ll be in for brown leaves, and slow growth. Additionally if you don’t give them sun that’s brighter than the sun itself then you are in for NO GROWTH.
Peace Lilly sound peaceful but are NOT. NOT ANYTHING BUT THAT. You have to STAY UP AT NIGHT for it to be semi happy. But this one has a code that I have not cracked yet. I know @SleekLatetulip has a BEAUTIFUL PEACE LILLY. It’s just a code to crack and even for “PrO hOuSpLaNtErS” they are still trouble.
Monsteras are a walking fave and game show to see how perfect you can water them. Again, love these plants, brothers to my all time favorites PHILODENDRON. And we will catch up on them later, but I have lost 2 which is way to many leaves on my beloved cloudy. It’s a 50/50 between over and underwatering. It’s just another code to crack.
Pepperomia or as I call them pepperoni plants are such divas.
See those yellow leaves? That’s them. It also comes with an invitation of pests! They just love dropping leaves so much. Not getting one again.
Now onto “the best newbie houseplants”
The zz plant is famous for a reason, having those gorgeous stems that shoot up and up, and they can go ANYWHERE. The one dark corner of your room that needs a little pop, ZZ IT UP! Your desk, ZZ IT UP! Bathroom? ZZ IT UP! These plants have one flaw which is they are very tall. But that’s fine! We love huge growth here!
Next is the pothos, like Hoyas but want them easy and aggressively grow? Theres your boy! Grows literally on WALLS. Climbing plant level 1000. Best one yet and never gives me problems except most are variegated. And mine just is like. Yeah I’m next to the sun but I wish I was INSIDE the sun. It’s ridiculous how much sun they need to varigate. And then there’s those leafs literally in the DARKNESS and they find a way to varigate like what do you want?
Philodendron are just that one plant that is just so hardy. If you try to kill it it will miraculously come back. Wow and so many different kinds, personally I love all, but for beginners id bet that the brasil is the easiest. No trouble variegating, just stick it somewhere and watch it grow.
And speaking of hardy philos, Silvia has been realived! If that’s a word and now it is. I just propped her and one month later she is here! This is why I love her.

@TheConservator I have a huge sentimental attachment to her as you can imagine. I pruned her way back about a year ago and have two other plants from this one, and have probably given 20 plants away over the years. The first picture is the original plant. The second is one of my kept propagations from it which is now almost as big as mom and fuller. It’s interesting that Greg always flags these as false Christmas cactuses. They are most definitely Christmas cactus
@Just1More here is a drawing example of leaf shapes for holiday cacti. You may have seen these or ones like em before. Its prob the main response you get when you google it lol
@Just1More wow 🤩! I wish I had the patience for succulents, but unfortunately I don’t! I’m more of a tropical plant guy.
@Preciousplants1 forgot the Chri and here’s my ZZ who is growing like crazy. She already needs to either be separated or a bigger pot?
@Just1More No wonder you have a sentimental attachment! She's absolutely gorgeous! 🥰 I've never seen a Christmas Cactus with stems that THICK!! They look like tree branches!! Please take a pic of it in bloom this season!! It's amazing!!
@princesspitstop here she was several years ago before I trimmed her way back. I kind of regret doing it, but she really needed it.
@Just1More, that’s seriously the most stunning Christmas cactus I’ve ever seen! I absolutely love the story behind it! 💕💓
I don't have many philos meself. Just the RoF that ain't doing too hot, the FB that hates itself, and my BM Fantasy which i took a bottom cut off coz the seller didn't plant him properly. BUT i was looking at a Thai nursery's catalog and man i'm hooked! New wishlist plants lol:
Philodendron Caramel Marble 'Fire Tiger'
Philodendron 'Red Congo Dwarf Mint'
Philodendron 'Pink Princess Tricolor' [suprise surprise, a PPP actually got onto my radar]
Philodendron gloriosum 'Marble Trocolor'
Goals 🥅! Someone gotta confiscate my wallet when i get my first paycheck XP

Oh i thought the post was about philos coz i saw Silvia and @Idplantthat's philos :P
I don't really like most easy-to-grow plants. No fun to me :(

@PHILO I just got a philo brasil! I much prefer the trailing philodendrons and mine got a bit damaged in shipping but looking forward to growing it!
And I’ve heard some people are fine with spider plants and then some people don’t agree with them. I’m like inbeteeen, mine are fine, not amazing though. I water them when I remember with tap and just pull off the crispy ends 😅
Another easy plant that only has a couple of rules: lithops. Don’t think of it as a normal plant, think of it as a pet rock that needs water sometimes 😂 There’s loads of guides for when to water too
