indoor plant tour 🌿 100+ houseplant collection

i wasn't sure how to approach this video because my plant setup is not done the two big collections in my life i guess are plants and tattoos and whenever people ask to see them all together i'm like i don't want to share them until in my head they're finished and they're ready i'm starting to learn that i don't actually know where finished is and so i just decided to share the plants the way they are currently so just consider this a snapshot in a moment in time some plants are growing like crazy right now some plants hate me right now and there's still things that i need to repot support and tend to but that's okay and today i'm just going to take you on a little tour of how they are currently and i would also like to say a big thank you to squarespace for sponsoring today's video over on my squarespace website i've put together an faq of all the questions which i get asked super regularly both of my comments on here and over on instagram so if there's something you want to know jump over there and i may have answered it for you i also want to preface this by saying that i am by no means an expert i started getting plants in about 2014 i think i had just like a few little ones in my apartment but it didn't really become a problem like this until 2017 i would say and i'd love to see in the comments below if you have a favorite plant please tell me what it is i wasn't really sure how to start this video whether to start with the biggest plant or the smallest plant or my newest plant or my oldest plant so what i've decided to do instead is just go room by room okay so let's start in the lounge room here so i thought i'll just go around and show you what's here starting off if you can hear some banging around it's mitch doing his weight training outside i've got a very large snake plant here this thing when it's on the stand it comes up to my jaw i think they're pretty cool next jumping over here we have a little philodendron hope i really want it to grow big i love the look of the big ones um but it's been so hard to find them so i ended up getting this little mid-sized one and i think it's cute i got this plant pot actually just from ikea because in the photos it looked cool it looked like a goblet sort of thing it looks like a trash can like it legitimately looks like a trash can coming up here we have my big big big totem adan sonai and it likes to climb so you can see i'm gonna have to cut these off because it's it's got more growth coming out and it's gone way past the trellis back behind the tv bear with me this is like absolute pandemonium back here so i've got a snake plant who's starting to have babies i meant to say spider plants i've got my micro greens which i planted this one is super cool um i believe it's called a cardboard palm i haven't bookmarked in my phone we have a little rojo congo and a piece lily this one i'm not sure if you can see with this lighting so contrasted right now but it's actually a lighter variegation than the other piece lily that i have like the leaves are very very pale now i may need to go outside to show you these but this is i guess it's like a little propagation station set up on the window also tip for anyone who wants to set it up in a precarious place like this is use where is it see that tack because it's water and because the tv is here i've just tacked them onto the sill so just in case they get bumped they're not gonna go flying [Music] in this corner we have like my medium-sized monstera deliciosa who has a new leaf and when i say medium like it's still pretty big that's it compared to my hand but it's not as big as this one i've had this one for a few years now and it's just plodding along doing its own thing next to it we have an umbrella tree i love umbrella trees i think they're so cool once they start to get a bit of height on them they get this really stable trunk look you can see that's it's woody and i just really like how glossy they are now this plant currently hates me i have to repot it it's my variegated umbrella tree it was doing so well in our last house and then we moved here had a tantrum so i tried repotting it and then it still continued to have a tantrum so we'll see i've got a much bigger rojo congo here if you're wondering how i get the leaves so shiny i clean them i like to use a white oil spray um i've shown it in a few other videos now this guy here looks like a monster deliciosa but it's actually a monster torai or tori i don't know how to pronounce it to be honest he's a little bit jumbled up at the moment but that's okay he's supported on his moss pole so i want to try and get this one more vertical so i'm trying to train it to go up now we have a fun one which is my monster thai constellation um so it's variegated in case there's any people who don't know or haven't seen them before so this plant has less chlorophyll so it does need to get more light i do also have another one here but this one's just more speckly it doesn't have the big patches of white like the other one does this little guy over here is still in its nursery pot i need to get a cover pot for a stand or something also the reason that i have stands is because both the dogs are fine and our two tiny netherland dwarf bunnies are fine but ralph sometimes likes to lie in the soil he just lies in it he just chills out but when he jumps out he just makes a mess so i've just put some of them up there so he doesn't use it as a bed anyway back to this pine i love this tree this tree came with a certificate of authenticity to show that it is a wool of my pine obviously this is just a baby one it has been growing it's got two new like frond leaf thingies on them i think it's one of the oldest trees ever recorded in nature these grow huge like huge huge huge and they found fossils of this particular type of tree and it was presumed extinct and it wasn't until 1994 a bush walker outside of sydney actually discovered a grove of them and they've discovered two more since then now because it is rare you're probably like why the hell do you have it in your house and i'll tell you why i have it in my house because the cultivation and sale of these plants is a really big part of their conservation strategy so they make small amounts of them available every now and again and what you pay to have them actually helps fund their research and fund their conservation [Music] now this is one plant that i am so proud of it is currently three plants put together it's a rapidophora tetrasperma so its nickname is mini monstera because it does look like a miniature version of the monstera when i first got this plant in 2018 it was literally two leaves on a stem and then there was one plant video that i did where it might have been about this tall maybe a little bit less anyway and i put it on a moss pole and i was like i know the moss pole is too big for the plant but it's going to grow and it grew and it grew and it grew in a green and grew and now we're about to go across the ceiling which i'm really excited about i want to like go all the way over it's just put out three new leaves and we're still in winter i actually can't wait to see what this plant does in spring and summer let me tell you about this guy this plant is large like very large i actually found this um someone was selling it on facebook marketplace and when i bought it i don't think it had been repot in like i don't know eight years honestly okay so a lot of the leaves look like this really damaged really just like not good but it was still big and i was like oh you know what like i just want to get it and i want to put in my lounge room and i want to help it live and we do have a new leaf coming through on here let me show you exactly how big it is and for perspective i'm like somewhere between five foot seven and five foot eight it's got a steak and it's got a moss pole just to give it something to lean onto and even though it's winter it's still putting out leaves so we've got that new one coming through there and then this one only just opened up about two weeks ago so we are not doing too bad for winter [Music] first off we have a fatsia japonica i don't know how to say that properly it's like my high five plant because every time that's my office in there and every time i walk past it i just give a little high five now behind that we have got a little tension rod with three hanging plants so sometimes i change out what is in here we have a little begonia i was never a huge fan of begonias like i don't like plants that have like these really soft leaves i find that i'm better with plants that are like really hardy just because i'm someone who tends to underwater rather than over water but i thought this was beautiful and it's doing quite well it's got some new growth coming through then we have a little norfolk gem which kind of looks like a type of fern but it is not and then feel free to educate me in the comments if i'm wrong i believe this type of pothos is called a prothose enjoy but i really like the variegation on its leaves [Music] this is my little workbench area this is where you see me film a lot of recipes simply because our kitchen is dark so i set this up literally just for better looking content i do have a plant light up here i've switched it off so that you can see the colors of the plants that's what it looks like because this corner does get dark but i like having just like a whole stack of plants up there i'll just turn off before i get ahead of myself so i have a big piece lily here and it is actually flowering at the moment i have a love-hate relationship with peace lilies like i like them but i find them really moody and temperamental in my trolley i have another little variegated protest and then coming up here we've got some spring onions growing there little pillia babies they were pops that came off this paleo over here from the kitchen table and it's already got new ones coming back through i know this looks super weird but i'm just waiting for it to grow slips back here we have a little basil cutting which i wasn't sure if that was gonna work i took a cutting off my other basil plant i need to put some more water in here actually but it's already got roots coming through i love this little plant it's one of my little babies it's a button fern i don't know i just think it's so cute and we have some more propagations going in here we've got pothos and hartley philadelphia once you have enough plants it just becomes an exponential problem because you can get so many cuttings of the plants you already have it's ridiculous back here we've got a little marimo moss ball if you ever had a fish your instinct is to probably just like put it in the water and leave it alone but like any plant you need to clean it so it can use the light effectively so you actually can pull it out of water and rinse it under running water it feels so fuzzy over here we have my basil now i have never been good at keeping basil alive so the way i'm growing this one is just straight in water the roots are touching the water but the stems are not and it seems to be happy here's a little clover plant i know that sounds weird i ordered some dried herbs from a place and they also sent me some clover seeds so i just planted them and now i have a clover plant i know it's a weed but you really can say the same about a lot of house plants okay this name is a mouthful and i'm going to get it wrong um it's a peperomia angulata rocker verde i know absolutely for sure that this is pet friendly i used to have a bigger one of these oh my gosh um last year we had such a bad heat wave i took them outside in the morning to water them i didn't know it was going to be that hot where the weather is so temperamental it can change so rapidly and i took them out in the morning to water them left them out on the balcony which is normally fine and i'd bring them back in the afternoon and then we went out and it was so hot a couple recovered but a lot of them didn't i lost like a variegated piece lily and a few other things so now i try to just make sure that my plants have cover pots so like this where i've got the nursery pot inside the cover pot and that way i don't have to move them to water them and i know that they're safe inside [Music] over here we have my very large taller than me fiddle leaf fig i also find this plant really temperamental but since we've been in this place is actually loving it a lot better it's popped out so many new leaves since we moved in here now i have this cart from adairs and it's literally just for plants if i didn't have plants here i don't think i would even own this thing you know what's ridiculous when the number of plants that you own dictates the furniture in your house down the bottom here i have a little pothos on a totem and it's just a very gated kind you'll you'll finally throughout my house i have lots of purthose i have lots of monstera because i finally grow so quickly and i've been able to propagate so many this big one here who's taking over the top of the cart is a hartley philodendron so its leaves are pretty large and i've also been training it to grow up the wall at the moment i jumped in and i counted it yesterday and it has 16 new leaves coming out at one time like it's winter like it's not even spring here yet and it's pushing out 16 leaves at once if that's not ridiculous i don't know like even here one two three four five six seven just in that one area nodes in the water and i'm just trying to encourage it to root up at the moment so that i can plant it this one actually snapped off the big one which is in my bedroom which i'll show you guys at some point and it's already starting to develop some roots so i'll let it get a more stable root system before i plant it now this is my big zzz plant so it's in a 25 millimeter pot it's got a lot of growth on it uh i love these ones i've i've said before they're super hardy they really don't need much from you just don't over water them and you'll be fine here we have my totem devil's ivy i love this plant for the size of its leaves like are you serious are you serious now this one is on a wood totem and look at like that is ridiculous it's so strong and i've taken heaps of cuttings off this plant because it just continually outgrows the totem philodendron macan or meken oh and before i forget just putting this one cozied away out of the sunlight at the moment this is my oxalis it's gone dormant for the winter it flowered like crazy and then it died back my mistake for letting it flower but um it'll come back in spring they just go dormant periodically i've had this for ages now it has gone dormant once before so i reckon he'll be back around two months maybe normally where i would keep it is right here where i've got this stingray allocation over here we have an umbrella tree who desperately needs a repotting so i do have a little wooden stake in there but he has definitely outgrown it and he is growing towards the sunlight now i can't remember specifically what kind of fern this is maybe it's a bird's name this one here is anything i'd love that it's got so much new growth on it it's really cute i actually got this one from a local plant nursery called pop wilder um in my faq which i'll link in the description box to some of my favorite plant shops in melbourne up here we have a bit of a mishmash so i had a problem like i started putting plants up here and then as it got closer to winter it got so dark in that corner i'm just going to adjust this so you can see how it looks to my eye like in real life i'm just trying to match it that is probably a good accurate representation of what the light is actually like up there so in summer it's a lot brighter but as winter started creeping through some of my plants weren't very happy this spider plant lost a few leaves i got a plant light and set it up in this corner and they are literally thriving now there's another little ad and sony eye which i have grown from a cutting i can never is it adding sony eye or ada and sony because i feel like i always just go to call them adam sony he's trying to grow towards the roof because the light is up there then i believe this one is a jungle cactus this is my fat plant this stores water in its base and you only need to water it about once a month have another pothos here okay now i've been confused with this one i'm just gonna look past my hoya obavada boys are all pet friendly by the way as they send out this runner before they start to put leaves out on it so this is a squamoferm and the leaves are similar to this but i think this is a datum and that's the squamophone because the stems are all hairy on it so they look really similar but i don't think that's the same plan then we have another variegated pothos so this one actually grew off a cutting from the one over here and then we have a satin pothos in the corner there an add-on sonar it's little epiprenum panatum and we have two pilliar in here this one here is a philodendron birkin we have some more pothos just a variegated one and a neon one a spider plant another at an sonar a polybaotria who when the plant light was not here just kept shooting up and now it's putting all its leaves on the ceiling and we've got a deliciosa and another pothos back in here okay so that's it for the dining room and kitchen i didn't want to spend too much time on the little plants up here that i already have a whole bunch of just because we still have two rooms to go really just realizing that i look like i'm two different colors because there is a really strong sunbeam coming in my apologies i'm gonna move out of this sunbeam i also wanted to say a big thank you again to squarespace for sponsoring today's video they are who i've been using for the last six years to host my website so first my eat run live blog and then my personal journal now if you have questions like how do i not have any fungus gnats how do i get this plant to grow all the way up the wall and what the heck kind of led lights are above my plants jump on over to my blog and i have the answers there in that faq post for you here's a little back end behind the scenes of what my blog looks like i've been using squarespace for a long time now because they are really really easy you can jump in set up your domain name everything is literally in the one place the way the site is built out it practically walks you through the process and if you do get stuck they have a 24 7 support team who are incredibly helpful they've also got these beautiful

where your blog or your ecommerce is currently jump on over to squarespace i have this url which i'll put on the screen and that will give you 10 off your first purchase running a business and a blog is hard enough why make it more difficult with fussy web design and not knowing how to get it to do what you want it to do i think the process needs to be simple so that you can get on with what's important okay now we're in my office this is a smaller collection of plants eventually i'd like them to like trail down now the dogs like to sit in this little area while i'm working here got a little baby transcantia zebrina in the purple version [Music] here we have another philodendron brazil and a dwarf alocasia amazonica of course we have another pothos here and i just made this one from cuttings another one here from cuttings turned into a plant this is a hoya pink princess going up a level we have another add-on sonai and then this is one of my favorite favorite favorite plants it's the newest plant i've gotten it's a philodendron milano chrysium it's a super beautiful velvet leaves i'm just gonna get it used to being in new location first and when it's all good i'm going to put it on a moss totem just to encourage it to [Music] grow this is my zzz plant but the raven version it's leaves almost black and then we have some hartley philodendron just propagating in this sparkling water bottle okay now we enter the bedroom this is mitch's side of the bed that's my side over there he has this little plant here which is his like it's never been repot it's never been fertilized it got left in a bathroom with no window for two months and yet it is somehow still alive [Music] this is my favorite plant pot it's from the brand angus and celeste and i've got a hartley philodendron in here just next to my bowl where i keep like my rings and my sunglasses and stuff like that so this is another monstera deliciosa but the way this one has grown is it's a lot different it has no supports it's got all this aerial roots just hanging out and about but i like it like that i like that it looks different from my other ones it's just fun experimenting with plants and like setting them up different ways to see how they want to grow then we have a little umbrella tree here another monstera an even bigger umbrella tree and i don't know if you can see at the back but there's two cast iron plants in here now this is a lyrata bambino so think fiddly fig but baby version then next to that i have a little palm there's a little baby rubber plant down here and then my super large fiddly philodendron i love this plant i've had it for ages and ages this is the one that had a piece break off you can see where there's new growth coming through and it's interesting that it's in this corner of the house plants just want to grow super tall directly upstairs from us in that corner up there is the rapidophora tetrasperma i love this pot as well it just it reminds me of bubblegum i don't know what it is but it's just another little pothos enjoy just on my bedside table okay this has to be one of my pride and joys like not just a singular plant but just this setup honestly when you're lying in bed it looks like a waterfall look this is what i see these five plants specifically pothos hartley philodendron hartley philodendron prothose and monsterada and sonai have been growing so quickly that a few weeks ago these guys were literally down touching the floor and i knew there was an accident waiting to happen so i'll give you a closer look so i've got quite a big pothos up here it was losing some of its thickness up the top before i had set up this plant light so i did the hairpin trick if you don't know the hairpin trick check my last planet care video next we have a bunch of pothos propagations i told you exponential problem guys pothos enjoy more propagations a philodendron brazil a heartly philodendron another heartly philodendron a marble queen prothose an adan sonai and then i try to keep just the shorter plants above the door um because otherwise they'll get ripped off so another hartley philodendron this was one of my marble queen cuttings philodendron brazil cutting some propagations and another purpose and so many of them have been grown from other planets which i already had now i do have a few other bits and pieces around the place and i also have lots of fruits vegetables and herbs growing outdoors but i might save them for another time now i do have a few other videos on plant care so i've left some little cards popping in on the video or i hope i remember to do that in case you missed those i'll also link them in the description box thank you guys for watching i truly appreciate you guys so much but let's catch up in the comments below or feel free to come and say hello on instagram my tag is at rachel [Music] you
