My right eye started twitching when the word “alocasia” was uttered. I will never buy that plant again.
-
Expose them for what they really are: Overrated,not sustainable to grow in your home,not practical,not functional 😂 I immediately subscribed to your channel after hearing that 😆
-
Lawd Jeezus!! I just got an alocasia and I look at her everyday in my courtyard and say “girl don’t you dare frown at me.”
-
I refuse to purchase another calathea unless I’m gifting it to someone I don’t like. They are way too fussy for a plant that refuses to die. I have 3.5 and don’t plan to add anymore. The .5 is for the one that I’ve left to die but refuses to..
-
Alocasias are another plant that will only thrive in the tropics. My grandmother lives in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷and she doesn’t even keep them indoors! She grows stunning alocasia in the ground on the shady side of her house and lets Mother Nature do the all the work!
-
The accuracy and comedy is hilarious 🤣
-
I’ve killed so many calatheas! I figured out they r just bougie. The 3 I have left have their own humidifier and grow light and no more crispy tips.
-
Not the Hoyas 😂😂😂😂😂❤

Wish I would have subscribed to you before I became a Plant Lover. Would have saved me time, money and heartache. Most importantly would have taught me not to get a plant just so I can be on the Plant Lovers bandwagon. That wagon has ran me over numerous times.
-
The notepad of doom😂 (yet so satisfying that I'm not the only one struggling with at least 5 plants on this list) haha!
-
I laughed out loud at Alocasia and Calathea. They stress me out! Love your videos
-
These plants have put you through a lot of trauma. You have a long list yo!🤣
-
I would put ferns on this list because if I whisper too loudly about how the one rabbit foot I have is still alive, she’ll shrivel up from spite 😆 Also, if you can, get an in-line water filter. I swear all of my fussy plants quit acting up when I got one. It’s under my kitchen sink and makes everything so much easier. No more crispy tips from tap water, because the tap is filtered already. 🎉

Oh yes to your choices…for me, no to: ivy, African violets, begonias, palms, pepperomias, string of anything, gardenia, croton, orchids…but
I keep trying them. Last one was a beautiful pink flowered black ruffled leaf African violet. But I did so enjoy it until it was down to 1 leaf ( now).I do have 3 Hoyas ( from watching Basie Plants) that are doing well-H. carnosa, curtisii, and ‘Crimson Princess’. Enjoyed this video, thank you! 🪴 -
Love this video! ❤😂 Top of my list is Croton, any type, and I have the climate for them. They are far too dramatic and look awful if they decide to leaf drop, because they did not like your hairstyle one day.
-
Hello, Oh,No!! 😮 not my precious Hoyas. I have (22) Hoyas & every one is exploding with growth. I absolutely love them. But I understand with your climate it might be difficult.I'm on my 3rd Mican & this one looks like its going to survive. The others you shown I have no interest either lol. Thank You very enjoyable

Your perspective from a different part of the globe is so different and fascinating. Good luck!

It’s crazy how different plants can grow so differently in different environments bc my micans in an 8 inch hanging pot. Big thick and lush! I’ve had it for 4 years now grown from 4 cuttings I got in a mystery box. I have them growing all over my apartment in NYC climbing the walls. They don’t like bright light and they don’t like to dry out.
-
😂😂 omg my Micans is so dusty! I was just thinking I need to chop her up but apparently this is just how they are 🤦🏾♀️
-
This was hilarious 😂❤ & my micans does look rather scrawny 😂
