I recently just picked up a snake plant and fernwood ## 26 comments ### LeafyGreenhouse commented on 2026-07-17 Monsteras and philodendrons will always hold a special place in my heart #### Shae replied on 2026-07-17 I will look into those. Thank you! :) ### plantgeek commented on 2026-07-17 i love my manjula pothos. just as easy as a golden but with more variegation. enough light and they almost look like a marble queen without the drama. also a huge fan of any of the cane begonias, i have one established and two rooting. my established one (pictured) is a black forest. it grows like a weed, flowered just last week ![Attachment 1 of 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/fg8tCwCAsnlhbz1owurGSLidrTKbwTdu-tvCCDLBR-4/vQsnxdyYTemBfqPLhc9Mjg.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 2 of 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/fg8tCwCAsnlhbz1owurGSLidrTKbwTdu-tvCCDLBR-4/N_6jm9VrS3yju2jKWyaq_w.webp?size=large) #### Shae replied on 2026-07-17 Oh wow! The cane begonia looks so cool! Thanks for sharing. I will look into both! :) ### JR commented on 2026-07-17 I 💕 soo many. But a nice next step from the ones you have might be peperomias. Lots of variety and textures. ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/tqz4EBDAvg8yEMwduoUZK1E9eWZadl-WaWJ0AB72hxk/YI2WvUA9S5uRrZXzd12YiQ.webp?size=large) #### JR replied on 2026-07-17 Wish the 2 on the sides were fuller rn but they went through a lot a couple months ago and are coming back #### Mugsy replied on 2026-07-18 Gorgeous color! 😍 ### Christina commented on 2026-07-17 Pothos, philos, and hoyas are the anchors of my collection. I also love cactus and drecaneas. There so many varieties and are relatively easy. ### ABagel commented on 2026-07-17 I think my favorite type is peperomias. I was literally going to say watermelon peperomia and look in my graveyard photos but you can see in JR’s photo some leaves of the plant I was thinking. #### JR replied on 2026-07-17 Yes. There is a watermelon peperomia on the top #### JR replied on 2026-07-17 When it was full 😢 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/tqz4EBDAvg8yEMwduoUZK1E9eWZadl-WaWJ0AB72hxk/87gJGQPlSj6kWPTfv02jJg.webp?size=large) #### ABagel replied on 2026-07-17 It will grow back 🪴 #### JR replied on 2026-07-17 🤞🏻working on it ### Josh commented on 2026-07-17 Devils Ivy is stunning \& very rewarding fast growing, also an easy to care for plant! ### McKenzie commented on 2026-07-17 Aroids and epiphytes are my favorites. Finally got ahold of a philodendron melanocrysum x gloriosum recently and it’s fitting right in ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/YA3Sk67Adi5xc6ttcdpTAdJiNvUVt-lLxx54IAQIHSA/sucFFQ0wQcCmHCucMuNi7Q.webp?size=large) #### McKenzie replied on 2026-07-17 These velvet leaf philodendrons need higher humidity, so if I could recommend something else it would be any Hoya or monstera! This is my Thai con ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/YA3Sk67Adi5xc6ttcdpTAdJiNvUVt-lLxx54IAQIHSA/Ly-VD2dURgCvzlKUfhbOjw.webp?size=large) ### Ms.Issy commented on 2026-07-17 Primulina Pretty Turtle is one of my favorite and easiest plants. I potted her in an African Violet pot with African violet soil and keep her a few feet from an east window. I’ve not done anything to her besides refill the water and fertilize periodically. She’s decided to go all out for flowering this year. ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/livSpt4Z6M_b_ZjChwUVsgkeRerC3ULlKbMAiYtJK8I/xvWzNHGcT5KO1vXQevmmYw.webp?size=large) ### Buckolena commented on 2026-07-17 No idea why but my favorites are also my most worry some. Like my Fiddle Leaf Fig is still in its baby/toddler stage and is going to get huge but I love that beautiful tree! Also my long trailing Golden Pothos is getting scarily long but that plant has my heart and I’m attempting to make propagates of it! 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ #### Buckolena replied on 2026-07-17 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/Mjcxov_N6BIAn0MHqFMVXs28GGzsNJdMdUOHK0hmV_U/WIovR9UoRj2Bildg8ECqMQ.webp?size=large) #### Buckolena replied on 2026-07-17 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/Mjcxov_N6BIAn0MHqFMVXs28GGzsNJdMdUOHK0hmV_U/FoZ14rbERXyK3GRg-ITO-A.webp?size=large) ### I \<3 my plants commented on 2026-07-18 Pothos, snake plant, peace lily, and the occasional calathea, as well as echeveria varieties.
