    little fyi for people having similar issues: sometimes a big factor that can affect trees is when their collars are burried, as seen here. the collar is the junction between root and stem and when burried, it weakens the tree/plant and opens it to spider mites and other issues. make sure you make them collars breathe! ♥️

    This video was very informative! Thank you for showing the whole process clearly, and close enough so that my imperfect senior citizen vision could take it all in. Being instructed as to what to do is important, but being shown how to do it makes it so much more accessible! Thank you for all your efforts to help educate houseplant people, and in my case, for contributing to my mental health!

    In my experience a good tip fighting against spider mites is to use a vacuum cleaner with low power. Use the small nozzle. It sucks the eggs away from underneath the leaves. This way you don't have to spray the leaves repeatedly with pesticides. The downside of this method is that it doesn't work on thin paper like foliage or you just need to be very careful not to tear them. For figs it works well because they usually have strong leaves.

  • @Chantalviolet
    @Chantalviolet 3 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Okay seeing that Shane took such good care of that fiddle leaf fig has me feeling better about getting one. I’ve been thinking about getting on that band wagon but I’ve heard of how big divas they are. I’m quite impressed!!

    • @jamielovesjohn
      @jamielovesjohn 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I have quite a few. The trick is bright light and consistency. And don't move them. They always throw a fit but as long you don't fuss with them and make sure to water when it's about 2/3rds dry, they are good. 💚

    Oh goodness. This was such a good video. I just jumped headfirst into ficus territory. A tiny ficus triangular is with 3 leaves, dbld those in 6 weeks. I have that living with a baby yucca, cause he needed a friend...as well as a tineke and ruby rooming together. I did get some cuttings of the burgundy rubber, too that have taken forever to root, but the leaves have finally flattened out, after being curled so long. So really hopeful...I have a mixing and filling pots to the rim kind of style, as well as a “mad propogation from cuttings renegade gardening” vibe. Ha!
    All live outside and get a good bit of sun. I’m excited to see your bf’s Audrey bounce back. Your Care and attention alone will give her a boost. Your vids are superbly relaxing...keep up all the good work from New Orleans! 🦚🥷🏻🦋🕷🦾🦚🙏🏼😸

    Another relaxing video, thanks Fern. I use the End All miticide on every plant that comes into my home. I also do a pot flush with hydrogen peroxide. It's working so far. I am also attempting to spray all my plants once a month as a preventative after a winter of pests.

  • @brianhardaway9716
    @brianhardaway9716 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good job. One thing to always consider with Terracotta potassium They need to be water saturated before use. That entails just filling a pail full with water and sitting the Pot inside until the air bubbles stop . Because of the pores in They absorb the moisture when watering. So instead of You watering the plant, in essence You’re watering the Pot. The mixture is Super. I would wait about 1-2 weeks before giving it a drink though because You just saved it from DROWNING!! After about 2 weeks give it a thorough drink with a diluted mixture of fertilizer, sit it by a Westerly window, and watch Her grow. ✌🏿

    A question. I would have attended to the pest problem first and then repotted is there a specific reason you did it the other way around?

    • @wildfern
      @wildfern  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks so much, I'm feeling good so I'm hopeful that things just keep looking up :) I think my train of thought was that it just seemed like it would be more messy if the leaves were dripping and everything when I was repotting it. I think it would be fine to do it either way though.

    Maybe I got lucky with my ficus (fiddle leaf, not Audrey - yet!) but mine isn't that picky. I water every 1-1.5 weeks, about the same amount of water. I moved in the middle of New England winter, and she still put out a new set of leaves recently! She sits about five feet from a south facing window, but doubled in size in the east window she was sitting in before I moved. One of my favorite plants for sure! I need to find an Audrey, but smaller ones have been hard to find. NOT down to spend $300 on a tree!

    Do you have problem with spider mites on ficus elastica/tineke as well? I have mine in my "spider mites window sill" (where spider mites comes and goes), but I have never seen anything on the elastica tineke. I love the look of ficus audrey but I have not found a single one in the stores here without a lot of spider mites (and I have seen them in multiple stores). So I will skip them for now in my home.

    • @wildfern
      @wildfern  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes I do! I honesty have had spider mite problems with all of my ficus, including both my elastica tineke and Burgundy. They don't seem to cause a lot of damage since the leaves are quite tough, but still annoying.

    • @wildfern
      @wildfern  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I've had success watering with diluted hydrogen peroxide - I believe it's a 1:4 hydrogen peroxide to water ratio, but you can google it to confirm. Watering with that solution and then letting the soil dry pretty much completely eliminated them, but if it doesn't I suggest mosquito bits.
