What plants did you absolutely love when you began collecting house plants that you now dislike and why?

What types did you not care for or you didn’t understand the appeal - that you now adore? Why?

I was enamoured with monstera deliciosas, rubber trees and rhaphidophora tetrasperma (to name a few). Now I cannot stand them. I dislike the growth pattern of the deliciosa and rubber trees purely for aesthetic reasons (one mature).. except ficus tineke. The only rubber tree who gets a pass. Lol The R.T. I just cannot for the life of me get to grow happily, despite having many fussy and high maintenance plants, this one just loves to yellow and die on me!

I could not for the life of me understand tf everyone saw in hoyas of any kind and why anyone cared about flowering. The grow slow, they predominantly have small leaves, I just didn’t get it lol. Now half of my collection is hoyas but sadly there are no flowers for me just yet! (I’m a year into them and all have been grown from water props)
