5 Low-Light Houseplants
video description
Then last spring I got another from the same place but with the intent of keeping as a house plant, going from how happy the outside ones were I put it in my window where it gets afternoon sun.
Its not even a year old and has grown so much from the tiny baby it was when I got it, I am super proud of that plant! When I was at my local garden center the guy I was talking to about it said that spiders are high light lovers, something I had never even considered before lol. My mom has two of the same spiders from the same place I got mine and they are also huge (and older) but they are in a lower light situation, one gets morning light and the other afternoon in a more sheltered spot then mine. I guess they must be a plant that will thrive in any lighting situation? Just makes them more awesome! Our spiders have gorgeous variegation, so pretty!
Growing up I had tried Ivy but it never did well, so I eventually gave up until this past April when I decided to finally give the spider a chance, then I decided to try another Ivy a couple weeks later, and got it from the same place, a local box store that has a really nice garden center every year, these two were in their outdoor hanging basket section. I put the Ivy on my windowsill and just left it alone in the sun, it has gotten huge, and its still growing even in the winter! The spider and Ivy have opened the floodgates for house plants and I went from none to 7 all in the course of a year LOL.

My grandma had a mother in law tongue in her house. It's in all of the old black and white photos. It has to be about 75 years old. After she died my grandpa put it in the back bedroom. I don't know if he ever watered it. It had stuff in front of it. When he died, we found it clinging to life. I took it home and nursed it back to health. I've since split it up numerous times and given to my sisters and others. It truly is an almost indestructible plant.

My ZZ plant went bonkers. It became huge and I had to split it up into a second pot. The root ball was softball size! I have a new one and it's in a bright room again and I seem to have another fast grower. It was on the bottom shelf and I had to move it after 6 weeks. Now that I know I can put in a less lit room I think it will have a new home.

I had a question about the grow light system that you gave away. My wife didnt care for the bright white color of the LED lights since they would be in one of our living space. Do they come in a warm color as as opposed to the bright white hue that was shown in your video? Also do you have a link to them?

My money plant is losing its leaves directions say to water with 2 ice cubes. No hole is in container. I have transplanted in container with hole. I have tried to water well let all water out and set on rocks so not in wet soil. Setting by a indirect light. Think this will solve my problem

Hi Laura - I've spent all afternoon watching your videos, they are great and they cover so many different topics. You have inspired me to make a few terrariums as I have some very pretty glass containers. I still have more of your videos to watch so thanks once again.

Thank you so much for these tips! Houseplants are my down fall, outside I have no problems. I have managed to keep an African Violet alive, but no blooms. I feed it, water it, baby it. Healthy leaves, but no flowers. I have decided it is sterile. .lol. TFs!
