    Hi Nick! I love your picks. Their foliage is pretty funky. I don't have any of those plants, but would like to have all of them except the Peperomia (I've killed every Peperomia I've tried) and the Cissus discolor only because I've heard a LOT of people say they are so hard to grow. I've never seen a Schefflera actinophylla "Nova" before. WOW! So pretty. I have a variegated Schefflera that I'm really enjoying, but the leaves on the Schefflera actinophylla "Nova" are to die for! Thank you so much for sharing and for always showing your love for plants in such a fun way!

    Hi Nick! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Loved this video. My ?/comment: my retusa had to go back outside due to dry air and heater use. We are having cold nights here so does it need special attention? I bought it at lowes in a 4 inch pot this summer for $5. They sold out quickly and we're never restocked. Huge bummer. ?#2: is your boyfriend into plants, and if not, does he let you decorate his place with them? Do you still have a plant wishlist? I do. I want an alocasia zebrina but am afraid of their delicateness. Looking forward to next video💓

    That's crazy how plants prize differs depending on location - I bought cissus discolor in comparable pot (not using inches here) maybe two weeks ago for the price comparable to the price of cheap t-shirt. I didn't even considered it to be super amazing deal, but I loved foliage so much I had to have it. The first one I ever saw in person was a HUUUGE vine (on the moss pole bigger than me) and even that plant didn't cost anywhere near $100.
