    Anxiety isnt real. You just have a weak mind which is the same reason you chose the unnatural path in life. A plus for the world to remove your bloodline from this realm.

    Let’s hope the Plant Police don’t come looking for you!!! LOL!!!

    For the algorithm gods 🙏🏻

    I never thought I would say this in a plant video, but Lady Gaga is beautiful



  5. Daniellalovespepsi on October 5, 2021 at 8:58 am

    Wait because i live in england and we dont recieve sunlight during the winter months so i need plants that will survive till spring



  6. Stuart hynd on October 5, 2021 at 8:59 am

    I’m just a straight guy watching plant videos, this one was a pleasent suprise🤣



  7. General Usage on October 5, 2021 at 9:00 am

    I wouldn’t say “zero light.” 🙄



  8. Matryoshikaloid on October 5, 2021 at 9:01 am

    I didn’t water my ZZ for the first month I had it, good to know it wasn’t suffering (^_^ " )



  9. E on October 5, 2021 at 9:02 am

    Led light is still light. If you wanted zero light, you could tend to them by candle light



  10. justin magee on October 5, 2021 at 9:03 am

    I cant even tolerate your voices. So fake haha



  11. Yna on October 5, 2021 at 9:05 am

    Mu snake plant is in a dark spot without any windows/light for a year now and i only watered it 2 times. So im sure it can thrive anywhere



  12. Evelyn Okay on October 5, 2021 at 9:07 am

    Just throw a humidifier in there with them and they’ll be fine



  13. Luh Nonato on October 5, 2021 at 9:09 am

    I always over water my snake plants, I hate myself. Maybe with this video I put the water bottle down for a few more weeks between



  14. Scorponox93 on October 5, 2021 at 9:09 am

    I was actually waiting for something like this because I do live in a house with very few windows and obscured by taller houses all around and the only plant I have managed to keep alive inside is an aloe vera, which I’m sick off because it just doesn’t stop growing and reproducing and I keep getting prickled by it. Even looked up on google which plants survive in "extreme low light" and in most results they don’t even mention aloe, but the plants they do mention I buy and they end up not doing well at all.
    Unfortunately, this video only encompasses most of those plants!
    But I’m glad at least that you had a snake plant because I was really on the fence of bringing that one inside to the place I wanted it to, since the golden hahnii I have didn’t do well in my room.

    In any case. If you want to do this experiment seriously. I think you should have multiple plants of each species. Even with my aloes (and as my grandma who had a jungle in her roof used to say) I notices that individual plants have somewhat unique preferences.

    And seriously, give succulents some recognition, the aloe not only can go months without water and with minimal light, it can also very easily recover from being over watered and can also grow in full 12 hours a day sunlight with little water too.

    tell me your a drag race fan without telling me your a drag race fan 🤣 I stan



  16. Kimberly Winkler on October 5, 2021 at 9:15 am

    Also, how can you refurbish? more water? Vitamins or minerals?



  17. Mariel Canela on October 5, 2021 at 9:16 am

    This video and experiment was great but it kinda felt like abuse towards the plans 😅



  18. Adrian Silesian on October 5, 2021 at 9:17 am

    Wtf is this. Is he even a man????



  19. Unsaid on October 5, 2021 at 9:17 am

    plot twist: it’s a fake plant



  20. Alice the Mad Rabbit on October 5, 2021 at 9:17 am

    Why doesn’t this have a million views?? This video has influenced where i keep plants in my room. I dont have to worry about certain plants having a direct light source so I can spread my plants out in the room.



  21. Julie on October 5, 2021 at 9:18 am

    As a plant mom watching this was horrible. You’re like ‘they still look fine’ and I’m like NO THEY DONT GET THEM OUT OF THERE. Poor poor plants. I’m glad you guys didn’t let them die though and are trying to rehabilitate them.



  22. Asian Adventures on October 5, 2021 at 9:18 am

    The feeling of hearing someone swear for the first time



  23. Jordan on October 5, 2021 at 9:19 am

    Basement Plants



  24. Environmentaly on October 5, 2021 at 9:20 am

    Both snake plant and zz plant are classified as succulent. Succulents moslty need either bright indirect sun or full sun but snake plant and zz plant is the hardest head of hard heads in the succulent world. Id recommend these 2 for anyone who kills alot of plants like me lol



  25. kelly d on October 5, 2021 at 9:20 am

    I can’t believe you just did that to calatheas the diva’s of all the plants kinda hurt to watch



  26. bubblelin on October 5, 2021 at 9:30 am

    The spot I want to put plant is corner of my room it has a empty spot could do with some green but worried they don’t get enough light so I just have to keep move them to the window.



  27. not a stat normal on October 5, 2021 at 9:30 am

    Omg ,I felt like a knife went through my heart when I saw those little one injured 💔😢. Zizi is a strong plant

    where’s all the "diversity" in this video?



  30. Environmentaly on October 5, 2021 at 9:32 am

    Snake plant used to be called sanseveria but it’s lately been re classed as in the dracaena genus.



  31. Anto Grayo on October 5, 2021 at 9:34 am

    No offense but most people learn this in primary school, so please refrain from swearing when you do your videos if you’re going to do elementary level experiments…



  32. Sinyo Tuek on October 5, 2021 at 9:36 am

    If i only use ordinary led light for plant and not get any sunlight, is it still grow for plant??



  33. Marilyn Zorinpuii on October 5, 2021 at 9:39 am

    how about a video on plants that can survive in an air-conditioned room?



  34. Alana Hernandez on October 5, 2021 at 9:40 am

    Thanks! Will be subscribing!



  35. Mark Russell on October 5, 2021 at 9:41 am

    Dracanea. Pathos. SPIDER PLANT?!?!



  36. NanoNekoGirl on October 5, 2021 at 9:42 am

    Literally torturing plants in the basement for experiments lol



  37. Kimberly Winkler on October 5, 2021 at 9:42 am

    Where are you from? Here in the Dominican Republic, the island is very very moist. You need to water the plants 3 times a week.



  38. Kenzie Allen on October 5, 2021 at 9:45 am

    of course viola davis was killing it. not surprised



  39. General Usage on October 5, 2021 at 9:46 am

    Excuse me?! They see light every time you go in and check on them!



  40. Tertius on October 5, 2021 at 9:47 am

    OMG this is so … Queen



  41. knightblazeru on October 5, 2021 at 9:47 am

    My wife and I had a Snake plant and we were told it was called "the immortal plant"
    guess what. I died too.



  42. Irina Rakovic on October 5, 2021 at 9:47 am

    Thank you SOOOO much!!!



  43. Enes can kaya on October 5, 2021 at 9:48 am

    This experiment very helpful for me thanks your sharings 🙏🏻🙏🏻



  44. Robyn Dobson on October 5, 2021 at 9:48 am

    This was so helpful! I’m trying to find the best plant to put in my apartment bathroom that has no window. Also definitely subscribing. Thank you!



  45. Makalae Ready on October 5, 2021 at 9:49 am

    this is funny because I literally bought 2 plants today for my room and now I’m home researching and came across your video so watched it, and then at the very end the 2 plants that lasted the longest are the ones I actually bought, talk about timing.



  46. Rando Plants on October 5, 2021 at 9:50 am

    I didn’t know snake plants are great in low light. I’ve been looking into low light plants because most of my house is like a dungeon, so definitely giving that one and the ZZ plant.



  47. The Hammons on October 5, 2021 at 9:50 am

    Some of those will survive with only light from your bulb



  48. Jordan on October 5, 2021 at 9:52 am

    1:44 we love a RuPaul’s Drag Race reference



  49. Simtale Passiflora on October 5, 2021 at 9:52 am

    This guy is hilarious



  50. bubblelin on October 5, 2021 at 9:53 am

    Plants that don’t get much light need much less watering. Looks like I need to grab my self a snake plant and it will be save and living in the corner of my room if it survives complete darkness it’ll do with some light in my room
