really trying to call in all the spring energy besties 🌸 comment any tips to fight the winter blues while we anticipate springs arrival 💓
Husband bought me a light to help with with the "season depression, or S.A.D."
I don’t have any tips but I am in the same boat. Where I am the sun isn’t supposed to make an appearance for the next week and a half. I just want it to be April already 😭😂
I'm buying new pots, making planty plans, cleaning plant shelves, spending more time outside and around plants 🥰 So excited for Spring!!
I hear ya. More snow/freezing rain in good ol Saint John, NB, again..grrrr. Come on Spring, lol.
Wish I had some tips to fight the winter blues. Totally in the same boat. Cannot wait for springtime!🌼🌷💐 For the meantime, I'm just trying to keep busy by cleaning, doing planty chores, and buying some Valentine's day decor. Can't wait to decorate for the month of February! My birthday month!❤💕🌹😍💌💘
Could we get an update on all the props in the next couple months ? I think that would be a great video 🥰💚
Agree! I would love to see how they turned out.
Aww fern , I just wanna give you a million hugs 🥺🤍 I feel you on the winter blues , it’s been snowing where I live so the sun has been MIA here. You’re such a strong person for still making these videos even tho you don’t feel 100% I APPRECIATE YOU 🥰 I watch every single one. Sending all the good vibes your way ✨
Thank you so much. It isn't easy, honestly, but I know I would feel worse if I let myself fall behind. Your kind comments also help, so thank you 🥰🥺
I tend to love blues and dark colours in my home, but in winter they just make me feel sad. So I always change my bedding to bright colours in the winter and try to introduce colour through my house where I can, and I’ve found it makes me happier 😊
My girl you need one of those lights for people who have seasonal depression. I can tell you're really going thru it, I totally feel that. I HATE winter and autumn. The cold wreaks havoc on my joints and I'm always just so tired and depressed. I'm so ready to have warmth and greenery outside again.
I love doing the butterfly method in spag for “string of” plants. It’s much slower but I think it gives a more stable plant. Plus if you do it in soup containers it’s super easy to pot up!
I used just straight up peat moss and it was super quick, took maybe a month until I could see the roots at the bottom on the container.
I live in a cave so I have tons of grow lights up this year in my livingroom. So much nicer for mood having the brightness. I have also been collecting small vintage pots from ebay. Planning on cactus and succulents this spring. I live deep in the Midwest so it has been very cold and my house is bermed so not many windows. My best window is north facing and I live on the edge of a forest so I can't see the sun much even if it is out. Daydreaming of spring so I can play out in my rock garden and hear my chickens make their happy it is warm again sounds!
Thank you for teaching me about making my own soil mix. I am an oerwaterer so now my mix works with me instead of against me.
Yesss this is the motivation I need to start my props 😂♥️
😃😃😃
I totally understand where you're coming from with the lack of sun. It affects me a lot too in the winter. So happy to have spring here now. And it's amazing how much more energy I have now. Sometimes I just step outside my house just to breathe in the air. Nothing like a mix of sun, plants and ocean air to make me feel better. (I live in a beach/vacation town)
I enjoyed this video; very relaxing. The daylight is lasting longer every day 🌞💛
P.S. I LOVE when you write out your To-Do List and go through it with us! Your videos are always so good girl! Keep it up!
This is nice to hear, I always wonder if people like the list haha!! Thank you x
I think so far plants have been amazing for my mental health especially during winter. I got through the phase of unhealthy collecting of plants. Now I just really enjoy watching the ones I have grow. It makes my day.
Hey Fern. You're not alone. I too am really struggling with severe Seasonal depression. Living in Oregon, so similar to Canada. I find music, meditation, bettering my diet help....problem when depressed to eat well though. I also keep my grow lights on longer as I feel it helps a smidgen. Hang in there Sis, Spring is coming.
Yes, so true - I find that when I'm not doing well mentally I don't cook as much. This time of year is sooo hard, I'm sorry to hear youre going through it too ❤️ thanks for watching and here's to manifesting sun for the west coast 🌞
Oh Fern, you’re the best. I hope you get some sun soon! ☀️ 💚
Omfg prop videos are my favorite! I just set up another prop box yesterday :) v much looking forward to spring too!!
If your t jade is weak where it hits the edge of pot, use some decorative Spanish mose or moss sheet and lay it under that area. Its helps the weight where it pinches a bit at kpot edge.
Wind one of the vines for your string of plant back into the top of the pot and pin it down so it roots and shoots new vines up. Then trim up the rest. I prop butterfly style directly into soil with a ziplock on top. Works awesome.
I bought those florist pins just for this reason. My strings of… would be sooo long if I didn’t do that!!!
@@liskalangdon6576 walmart carries wide bobby pins that work super nice. I actually had a hard time finding the floral pins....I have been surprised how much my string of plants are growing. I just started another 6 inch pot with butterfly cuttings.
@@DesireeStamat omg. I haven’t bought Bobby pins in forever!! Thanks! I’ll grab some tomorrow. I bought my floral pins on Etsy. I couldn’t tell you the name of the shop but I grabbed them when I saw them!!
@@liskalangdon6576 I think they are called U pins. Wider than the typical bobby pins. Good luck with your project.
You totally inspired me to take cuttings of plants that needed a vine trimmed, I need to fill out, etc. Loved this type of video! I use different mediums too, I love water and sphagnum moss the most
I’ve been lusting after trailing jade ever since you got yours. I really hope you can rescue it! It’s such a beautiful plant!
Awwww Fern! I’m so sorry you’re feeling the seasonal sadness 😔 Spring is right around the corner and so is the sun! ☀️ it has been gloomy where I live as well, and it really affects my mood too! Sending you all of the positive vibes! 🤍 just know your videos help so many people! I look forward to your planty content every time I open the TH-cam app! Feel better soon babes & much love ✨🥰🪴
Sending you all the love and hugs. Just know that you're not alone and there are a ton of people out here sending you well wishes. I've been suffering the winter blues myself lately. Hang in there sis. ❤🥰❤
Thank you so much for such a great video. It made me really happy seeing this pop up on my recommended
Catching your propagation video. I truly enjoyed it.
And yes we have had two weeks of clouds and rain here. It definitely is affecting my mood
Winter Blues sucks! Sending you sunny vibes from Texas 💕💕💕💕💕 It’s been gloomy lately but it gets better
sending you sunny vibes! just made myself some lemon ginger honey tea from scratch and the process alone made me feel better cause my apartment smelled so good. plus its a good vitamin c boost
You are so inspiring! I just put together my first perlite propagation box thanks to you! Keep doing what you are doing!!
thank you so much Ian 🥺
Love your videos so much! 💚☮💚 You always project awesome energy, even on the off days💛☮💛 It'll be spring before we know it!!!🌼🌸🌼
Sending hugs your way!! 🥰 I didn’t feel like the energy was low at all in this video! Loved this video. It’s so satisfying watching plants get chopped up and propped. Can’t wait to see their progress. Hope you start to feel better and the sun comes out for you up in Canada 🌞
I really enjoyed watching you propagate! Thanks, TH-cam, for recommending this channel to me 😊
Sending you some Texas sunshine 🙌
I hope you get some sunny days soon!
We had warm sunny days few times this week but a cold front is coming tonight and it'll be raining ice and 26°f tonight & tmrw 😣🥶
I look forward to a follow-up video on these props!!
🤍🌸 sending you soooo many virtual hugs & sunny, spring vibes! i echo how you feel about not seeing the sun in a few days. the winter blues is such a real thing & a HUGE party pooper. thank you for making this amazing video & always providing me with the planty company i crave (not a lot of planty people where i live.) 💕☀️
i love the propagation vessel you have for your string of hearts!
i did the water method for my string of hearts in my last plant chores video, and about two-three weeks later, i already have so many new roots and new growth! i can't wait to see how yours do!
You're one of the only TH-camrs whose videos I like before even watching. So excited for spring!! Also your hoya obovata is lovely.
I love the way your SOH are cascading in your prop station. They will be beautiful by Spring and ready to pot up again in no time. You have inspired me to grab my shears🤩
I love seeing propagating being done. I just did my SOH and Scindapdus Moonlight and Exotica. Fingers crossed they root never did these before.
Yesss, I was just hoping you’d post. Thank you for helping me procrastinate 🙏🏼
haha youre very welcome ☺️
Can't wait to see updates!!
I've had good luck with "string of" plants in perlite, hope you do as well 🤗
After watching your video, I’m gonna try a perlite prop box!! Gonna record it and hopefully it goes well! 🥰💚 and I am so jelly of your prop vessels, they are too cute!
I started my plant collection in winter so I am so excited to finally get growth
oh youre going to love spring!!!
I’m sure I will! I love your channel so much! Thank you for always making my day better
I went out early this morning and bought some orchid bark to make some good soil. This is perfect timing as I need to prop my string of hearts and philos!!
Ahh that's excellent! have fun propping :)
String of Hearts are my fav. I just propagated a some yesterday. Such fun and really sort of zen playing with them.
Thanks.
loved this video so much!! sending you so much love 💚🖤💚🖤
Sunlight is good for the soul. I live for the warmth and therapeutic healing that it brings. You are not alone!!!
This was nice. I was able to do some re-potting and propping of my own while watching. Ohhhh that string of hearts! I miss mine so much-i gave it away last spring when I moved and I have regrets. I haven’t been able to get my hands on another one yet. Maybe this summer. I love just winding them around the top of the pot and having a plant that looks full.
It’s so cold and windy and snowy here today. It’s been snowing since November so I hear ya on the weather.
Great video. I can’t imagine what you’re going thru, but just hang in there…..Spring n sunshine will soon be here!
I love my Hoya Obovata !! It seems to grow very quickly!!! It seems I could literally watch it grow!!!
Such a relaxing video to watch. Spring is coming soon! I just have to keep telling myself that because it's freezing and dark here too.
we love you Fern!!! 😇😇😇 thank you for sharing!!!
🤗
Your eye lashes look so good btw! 😍
Hey Fern
Loved your video as usual.
Ohh your poor Jade plant
How sad 😢 it was so beautiful but the upside to this is that you had lots of cuttings from it and will grow to be bushier.
All your plants are just so beautiful they really are
Love what your plans are for this year and making your plants bushier.
Aww Fern I feel your pain honestly, that is why I have not commented lately as this time of year my depression gets worse and my illness and pain, as I am sure I have told you I live in England so always raining or snowing and sometimes both Lol
Before my mum passed away we both moved to Fuerteventura (Canary Islands)
As the temperature year round is great lots of sun.
But Mum missed home so we came back so I am trying to get back there but it is not so easy being on your own with Multiple Sclerosis but I am trying hard.
Why not consider moving somewhere hot for yourself as you mentioned it in one of your recent vids. It’s not easy but it would help you with your mental health. Try and keep your chin up, I know it is easier said than done.
Hey it is nearly spring and that is something to look forward to Yay
Sending lots of love ❤️ your way and positive vibes.
U and Olive Tc xxx
I absolutely love these videos
Feel mo better ☀️
Definitely relatable! Thanks for the vid.
When I'm in the winter blahs I find that plenty of extra light usually cheers me up. Don't neglect the benefits of full spectrum lighting for yourself as well as your plants. Spending time under a full spectrum lamp works wonders. And time with all your pretty green babies certainly helps too! 🙂
Enjoyed the video very much. I love propagation to make more or fuller plants. Loving all your string of things.
Hope you get some sun shine soon!!
I always procrastinate untangling my soh. It’s so satisfying and therapeutic once I get to it though!
I have a golden pot his named Gretchen and it’s one of my most loved and largest plants. It’s was my first plant other than a succulent that I got during quarantine and I’ve propagated and seen so much from her it’s crazy~~~ it started my plant craze💜💖😂
About to go to bed and this pops up, perfect!! Hot water bottle and tea and a repot with Fern 🌿🌿
ahhh I am jealous of the relaxing vibes you have going on! enjoy ☕️
Hi Fern, with the String of Hearts I recommend for the propagation, to just lie down the cuttings on the medium, light cover it with a substrate and water (you can leave the leaves on)...your idea with the Perlit is very good, it will work for sure! I cannot wait the water propagation! Have a beautiful day. XX
I’ve had a lot of success propagating micans quickly in water with Pothos cuttings!!
Hi Fern, I'm going to be doing the same thing this weekend because like you, I'm so ready for Spring! We don't have too to go, so let's keep busy preparing for sunshine and lots of new growth! 😍😍🌷🌻🐝🐞🌼🌴
💚💚💚
I actually picked up my first hoya today because you talk about them so often, fingers crossed that it grows okay! this winter has been really hard on some of my plants. :(
This gets me sooo exited!
This was really helpful! Idk why but I've been nervous to try water propagating my SOH. I think I'll give it a shot!
My obovata grew amazing roots fast in water. I love propagating so much!
I love this type of video. The best tip was to water plants prior to cutting for propagation. I never knew that would be of benefit. Going forward I will be sure to do this. I am glad you untangled your SOH. I was getting a bit anxious with the strings all in a ball😉 The sun finally came out where I live today; even though it was-25F windchill the sun was nice to see.
You really inspire me and my friends who watch your channel (I told them to start watching you!!!), to grow plants but to also grow as ourselves!
❤️❤️❤️
Wow chopping that entire jade was so brave. I recently had a jade get root rot I cut off the dead part and actually put it in Leca and it started growing roots a few weeks later. Jades can be tricky sending good energy ✨
I love that you used one of your pasta jars!! Funny enough I keep those same pasta jars too in case I wanna propogate or pot up a plant hehe :) and yeah I feel y when it comes to the winter blues.. long winters and short summers in AB big ugh.
One thing I find helps combat winter blues is having some form of light in my room. I know we cannot always rely.on the sun to come out in the winter soo what I do is I leave some of my favorite overhead lights on. But also listening to music and cuddling your furbaby helps too ^^ 💗 much love to you Fern!
great tips, I agree that lights help a lot. I feel so much better even having my fairy lights turned on on a gloomy day 💚
if u want a full pot..make butterfly cuts and place in damp soil or moss and cover in bright light and make it really full and your gtg
We are just getting our first winter storm down here in North Carolina❄️😂 but love the spring vibes! I chop all year round anyway so yep 🪴🌱🌿✂️
Me chanting “doooooo it!” When you were considering cutting and propping your string of hearts. Then you did it ☺️ Hehe
I didn't take in any air the entire video each time you cut those plants! LOL I also laugh each time you hesitate I do the same thing :P great video!
your SOH propagation was gorgeous!!!
Hi Fern 👋👋 this was such a fun one to watch !! I totally understand struggling in this dark season. Here in Seattle we are finally supposed to see the sun this weekend, hope you get to as well 💚🌱
we are supposed to get sun too!! I am sooo thankful. glad we both get to enjoy it! 🌞
I seriously give you props for well, all the propagation you did in this video. 😂 It’s my favorite thing to do. But even checking on my propagations lately isn’t as joyful as it was earlier in the year. This time of year is so hard. Hang in there! Sending you love and positivity. 🧡
ive been doing this too..i cnt wait for spring. Summer....i'm having winter blues so this helps so much.
Prepping my bedroom to paint and it’s taking foreverrrr to do all the tape so this is perfect timing!!💜💚
Perfect! Hope it helps to pass the time 😃
My SOH has done really well with the pin down method. My best prop situation for my soh is in little short container with soil. I've tried water spagh butterfly. Love your station of hearts.
I kind of giggled when you were saying spring is close 😂 we get snow sometimes all the way into May. I just chopped some ridiculously long bits off my h. Linearis, wayetii, and verigated waytetii last night and threw them in my prop box 🤞
Snow in May should be a crime 😤 lucky for me, we start seeing signs of spring here in February. Like flowers popping up and stuff. But still lots of rain until May-ish too 😩
@@wildfern we had snow on the 4th of July once 😑 but then it was like 80⁰ two days later
Very nice cuttings to propagate, specially the heart ones,u will end up with lovely full plants.💚🌵🌱☘️
I’m sooo ready for spring!
And I’m always complaining about how sick of the sun I am. I live in Florida and look forward to a cloudy day. 😄
Ur house is so ✨aesthetic✨
Haha!! I've been chopping a bit early too! I just couldn't wait any longer🤦 SOH, Micans, Brazil, Obavata ( Same issue, one long strand), h.publicalix, AND a few scindapsis😂 I'm planning on making a Frankenstein pot with a few of those so I'm pretty stoked about that little project😄❤🌿
samee can't wait for sunnier days
I butterfly my SOH, lay them on some fresh soil, place them in a bag and place them under a grow light. I make sure the soil is moist. Hope all of your propagations do well. I live in Wisconsin we finally got some sunshine otherwise it can be really gloomy and super cold. I know all about those winter blues though.☀️♥️
SOH are fast grower in my experience. I just "butterfly" mine and root it directly in soil and its already sprouting new strings!
My normal Jade plants propagate so well in my prop boxes! you should see if the trailing jade does well in a prop box as well!
So satisfying watching you propagate🪴
Your regular string of hearts is so plump😍
Sooooo I thought my string of hearts was just the regular one until i watched this video. Mine is much more silvery! Probs on chopping with so much confidence. I admire
For your string of hearts that is sparse on top: I would Position the bulk of how you want it (to cover the top) and add a few pins (even just bobby pins). They will root and stay there in no time.
When doing leaf propagation with Jade leaves just lay them on top of the soil. They will send out roots into the soil.
I don't have any string plants but her talking is very relaxing and it's always nice to see things being done right ʕ-ᴥ-ʔ♬
Woooo first, I’m excited to watch this 💚
enjoy!!! 😊
Love this video.
I always propagate my string of hearts in perlite and they have all done really well. Goodluck with your experiment :)
perfect 😃 perlite is a miracle worker
I totally understand you with the sun thing. Sometimes I feel like a weak plant just because of luck of it. And I also wanted to mention that I have been following your journey for more than a year now and the ZZ Raven just stays in place XDDD ZZs won't stop surprising me.
hahah I have been growing my ZZ raven for 2.5 years and it's only one stalk 😩 lol!
@@wildfern maybe it has too big pot or something. I know that people say that it's growing it's bulb (I guess that's how it's called) and then leaves from it
Or it needs more light because it's very dark or more nutrients? ZZ are both easy-going and hard to understand 🧜🏃♀️
I recommend keeping your trailing Jade in terracotta and giving it some more light! 💚
you look so sad in the end🥺 sending you lots of hugs and sunny energy from florida love!
Thank you so much!! ahhh florida 💚💚💚 jealous!
