I have a 4 month old foster son who loves looking at all my plants. Lately, he's started paying more attention to what I am watching and he just LOVES you. Especially when your face is on the screen - he squeals in excitement. He laughs at 90% of what you say, lol. Every time we sit down to watch a new video of yours, I say "There's Fern!" and he gets so excited. If I have his back turned and he hears your voice, he just whips his head back and forth so fast trying to find you. I would say maybe you remind him of someone, but he's been with us since he was born, so I just think he's already found his favorite TH-camr.
I think your Thai constellation would look great being lifted on little end table which allow the aerial roots to dangle a bit and also leave some room under and in front of that table for some plants. You can put one on the floor and one on a wooden box to create some layering. If the table (and maybe box) match the colour of wooden shelf thing on the other side it would give some extra symmetry / asymmetry vibes. If you get a simple wooden box and turn it upside down, you could even hide the cables under it.
Came to the comments to say pretty much the same! Get a stool/small table to put the Thai on, and it gives you space to layer another plant or two under. 🫶🏽🌿
Yaaaaas not me being able to watch a fern vid as soon as it goes up🎉 I think you should put the milsbo where the thai is and put the thai up on some sort of console, stool, side table, etc. You'd have to jus mess with configuration until you get it to what you like but def lift the thai up off the ground no matter what imo lol
11:40-11:44 just made me audibly giggle lol love your excitement and equally animated concern for your plants thanks for blessing us with content always wahoo 🎉
oh. my. goodness. Fern! Your Hoya crimson queen bloomed!!! i've been watching your channel for like 3 years or maybe even more and i kid you not, i gasped and a tear of joy fell out of my eyes haha what an amazing surprise!!
Always a delight to see a Fern notification 🥰 give us all the updates 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Isn't it funny how invested we get in other people's collections? 😂 I miss the weeping jade.. I've been looking for one since I saw yours forever ago.
I just got an orchid cactus and I am so excited about it! It definitely reminds me of Easter / Christmas cactus. Looks so strange and interesting. Huge gorgeous blooms. I immediately thought of you because I thought it was a plant you would like too. So excited to watch her grow!
Your baby Anthurium is going to be hard getting out of that little bottle he’s in. You definitely should pot them up in big pots, like 5 inch for the small one or maybe 6 inch.
You could move the wooden stand elsewhere. If you can, purchase a second black milsbo and place them side by side. Put the Thai on top of it on the corner right. That may work well. You would have to spend some $ though. If not, then a black plant stand to lift the Thai. I'm sure whatever you pick will look great! ❤
Hey Fern! Just throwing it out there that id be interested in seeing how your cacti etc are doing outside (unless you already have a patio plants video in the works) hehe 💚 thanks for all the good and honest updates here 😊
I have compassion for your silver band because mine has the same story at the moment. I got like a 6 months ago and she was a dream, she started to put out new growths immediately, blooming shortly after and it was as you say "on turbo mode" :D but then she went downhill so quickly... yellowing leaves, pests and everything.. so even tho im sad it went downhill.. it brings a little comfort that its not only me >.< hope they gonna get going again soon for both of us
I appreciate that you’re still able to show your plants even when they’re covered with diatomaceous earth. That just means you’re being a good plant parent and trying different methods to keep up with their needs. Rather than it always needing to be an aesthetic thing. A few of my plants still have sulfur on them from treating flat mites and I feel embarrassed? Yeah I don’t think that’s necessary. lol
The day I stopped feeling like I had to be “social media perfection” was the minute I started really enjoying my plants and sharing them with people!! Don’t get me wrong, cleaning my plants for a nice picture is always worth it but it’s not necessary to show them off!
My 2c re the space under your TV - we read left to right, so having 'weight' on the left will balance the space out a bit more and make the flow of everything look a bit nicer as your eyes naturally scan across the area. I would recommend putting something taller (be it plants or a tall shelf) on the left of the milsbo/tv and cleaning up the space thats on the right of it (maybe removing that wooden bookshelf entirely and having a less 'heavy' structure there). Adding a cute little tufted rug on the left would also look super cute!
Me too!! Knock wood but my verrucosum has never had spidermites!!??? Plants all around it will have them. But I'm certainly not complaining it's just puzzling 😮
Fern, I always get so damn excited when you upload a video! Thank you so much for showing us all the plants, the good, the bad, and the in-between😅 I just bought a syngonium red arrow and when i was admiring it, you were looking at yours and said it was a pain and hard to propagate! I was side eyeing mine after that😂
First I love your content, you are amazing! Next I'm glad you asked for suggestions on your tv area. In the last year I made a big move and the only furniture I've bought was ikea shelves and cabinets lol, I moved into a small condo and had the same dilemma with my tv area. I utilized my plant shelves as a tv unit, went with the black vittsjo tv bench underneath (because we like our tv mounted low on the wall for optimal video gaming but your milsbo wide would work too) and I put 2 of the vittsjo tall slim (however you call them) shelves on either side of the tv. Its given me so much space to keep plants and I live that they are front and center. I keep all my favorites on that set up and I find myself staring at them instead of watching movie lol. I mixed in some books behind the plants and it feels really cozy. If you think this is a good idea, I'd love to see you try this set up and see what youd come up with with the plants in your collection.
You could pull the other small shelving unit out, and move the other floor plants back into that empty space to balance it visually. I think the milsbo looks nice under the TV.
My silver band maranta struggled a lot before I changed it to Mollys Aroid Mix with a little RePot Me Hoya mix swirled in - and then put it in a self-watering pot. I also don’t use tap water (which in my case is well water with a softening system) and instead use the spring water from my large five gallon water dispenser in my kitchen. I use this setup for all my maranta, ctenanthe and calathea and it has been a game changer. Everyone is doing great and now don’t even have crispy tips! 😊
Hello Fern, love your videos, you'll probably never see this but you asked for suggestions on what to do with that area around 2:03. if it were me, and if it's do-able for you, I would move the cabinet under the TV just slightly to the left to center it, then I'd keep the Thai constellation there but try putting it on a relatively low, squarish stand or shelf (if you have one) to elevate it 6 to 12 inches, there's some flexibility there. On the other side replace that other shelf with something similar but about 2/3 the height and keep the existing plants on top. Then someday maybe put a small, like 6 inch by 6 inch framed picture above that shelf to complement and offset the picture on the left. I realize you probably don't have the size shelves I'm talking about just laying around, but the idea is to get the monstera off the ground and give it more of an intentional presence while lowering the stuff on the right so it's not competing so much with the cabinet. It will also a nice horizontal line of plants your eyes can sweep across, from the monstera to the ones in the cabinet to the ones on the right hand shelf, in one smooth glide. I hope this makes sense. Thanks for doing what you do!
Your hoya crimson queen flowers are certainly adorable although the species is also quite common in Korea. Still it's not always easy to see her bloom so beautifully like yours. I think your life suits your name so much :) 21:56 What's this gorgeous philodendron's name again? Aww...that new luscious velvety leaf! I don't know much about plant cabinet so I've got questions. Do you have a fan or a circulator inside the cabinet or is it okay without the ventilation system?
Under the tv you could put a Low and long coffee table and then the Thai con can be front and center with babies around it. And maybe Move the milsbo to the left wall. Oh boy I could do this for hours 😂my ocd goes wild when it comes to rearranging lol
Hi Fern! I love to put my plants on a little plant stand, just a couple feet tall, plain Jane Black metal holder with a wooden dish but it enhances my plants so much! And that would be the perfect height to fill the space above the monstera, and would leave room below for another shorter plant to live and fill the bottom space! 😁
Maybe just lift the Tai constellation up with a litttle cute stand? this would also give the aerial roots more room to hang and you could layer a smaller plant in front of the stand if you want. Went though some options in my head and I think I would move the greenhouse cabinet to the far left and get a flat cabinet, like a ikea kallax 4x1 placed on its side. you would still have quite some hight for plants between cabinet and TV. The wooden shelf can go somewhere else where it maybe fits in better as it does look a little miss-matched here. Not sure if there is then still space for the tai con hough as it is a bit taller, maybe on the far right so it´s not in front of the TV?
I'd move your tv down another 1 metre so its at eye level and have a unit going all the across, under the tv. Then you can place your plants on top and inside the cabinet, depending in the style.
The wood shelf i feel needs to be where the Thai is and maybe even against the fridge wall. Then your Thai can go with the other free plants on the other side. Milsbo looks great under TV though! And I love your quirky paintings so much! The stuff on top of that shelf would be nice in those blank spots over on the left side. That's my two cents.
Just thinking out loud: could the browning on your monstera aurea come from drafts? I noticed it’s next to your balcony door and the air condition is above it… I once heard that when you can sit comfortably in the plants spot, the plant is fine with it as well. I check for drafts with wet hands as well… I don’t have any experience with this plant so no idea if draft is a thing 🤷♀️
Your verru is sooooooooo pretty. Mine did succumb to the spider mites and I’ve only been interested in replacing it with the perfect specimen which I haven’t found yet. Hopeful one day I find one with some resistance like yours haha
❤❤I would remove right shelf too and buy half lower shelves painted in dark green or even black. Maybe leave ur Monstera on the left,but put it on a shelf. Like this area needs balance)❤❤
Love the video as always and the plants are looking so good, despite pest problems. For the space under the TV, you could try moving that other small brown cabinet elsewhere and move another large plant like the thai con to that space to make it look more balanced. Maybe that's why it looks so weird to you because it no longer has that same look on both sides?
It’s so exciting when monsteras pop their first inner holes! 🎉 OMG! If you repot your reticulata and have any corms I would totally buy one off of you. It’s one of my dream alocasia. I got one over a year ago that was a baby that had come from TC and it died on me. I was soooo sad. 😢 have a great August Fern!
@@jessicarose1651 oooooh, I'll check it out. I don't usually watch the blog b/c the food content is not good for me (recovering ed...). Thanks for the heads up!
@@hypatiakumbera789 I understand :) she does talk about her grocery and kitchen organization a little in the beginning but I think you can skip over that, it’s not too long :) hope that helps 🌻
The diatomaceous earth only works as a dry powder. It looked like you maybe made a spray out of it? That won't do anything because of how the powder works. It has to be dry.
@@wildfern Ah. I read that you must mix 2 cups per gallon of water. I guess if it's thick enough it will work. If you have mites, and you're like me, you will do anything to get rid of them! I will have to try it some time.
I agree that the area under the TV looks kinda off, but think the Thai just needs a little stool or something underneath her to match the height of the rest maybe? You could do a wooden box similar in colour to the shelve on the right and put some more books or plants in there maybe
You could move all the shelving out from under your tv and move all your tall bois under it. It would make a beautiful showcase area for them and look less cluttered.
Take the pic off the wall (move it), put thai ontop of something like a plant stand. Put plants from the floor by windown underneath thai to have more floor room 🤷🏼♀️💚 just a suggestion 😊
the twin growth points happens to my brasil and silver stripe often and one vine usually reverts and the other tends to go all yellow even on my silver stripe! that was definitely the most bizarre part was getting a neon vine from my silver stripe lol
Thai Con just needs a little riser stand or if you repot get a pot with matching stand? The orange colored shelf needs to be black I think… can you paint it? That will help alot!
Hi Fern! If you were to move the Milsbo wide cabinet from under the TV, where would it go? If you had a place to put it, you could replace it with Vittsjo shelves. A tall skinny one on either side of the TV and a short one under the tv? I can't tell size-wize if that would fit.
Well I need to figure out my thai constellation..Got it for xmas and it grew 1 leaf and since then its just taking up space. Not doing much of anything. So I bought a new baby yesterday..A anthurium crystal Hope.. Hopefully the Thai will see she’s not #1 and do something 😂😉. Thanks for the update Fern. Kisses to Olive and Cadence. Have a great day!
Love your Monstera - Thai Constellation!!! How exciting to see your Hoya - Crimson Queen blooming. I have recently placed mine on a trellis. I too look forward to blooms. My Zygo cactus (or christmas cactus) is blooming bight pink flowers at the moment. Christmas in July. It will be interesting if it blooms again in December!!! Cast Iron plant lives up to its name 🤣!!!
Omg “me and my pesties” 😂😂😂 I am weak! Maybe you could swap the long table that was on the side of the vitsjo and the wide, under the tv. Then you could put plants under and on top of the table? Idk if it could work, just a thought.
I just lost my Alocasia Jacklynn that had 4 massive leaves to spider mites 😭. Luckily the root system looks really good, just have to figure out where to chop because it looks like a new leaf was wanting to come in. It has some corms, but I have no luck with growing corms. I always rot them.

I absolutely love this awwww what a sweet story
Your 4 month old son can talk?? lol
@@carlyrobertson5070 No?
“Me and my pesties 😅”.
A short stool under your Thai con would be cute to boost it up a bit!
I had the same thought! 😊
That’s what I was thinking! A little stool could help with the Thai con situation
Absolutely!

as soon as you showed the new thai con leaf, I was like "eeeek baby's first inner fennie!!" we love to see it 🥰✨
ahhhh sooo exciting 🤧
I would just get a TV console that goes from wall-to-wall and you can put plants all on top of it. It would look sleek and pretty.
A short stand for the Thai and then you can put a smaller plant under it.🤗☺️
Yesss
Perfect vid while I’m also doing some plant chores! And I’m early?! *what a blessing*
The fact that you waited for that one moment for 5 years gives me so much motivation lol
Yaaaaas not me being able to watch a fern vid as soon as it goes up🎉

Good morning Fern. I’m so excited tied to come on here and fine a new fern video!!
I appreciate that you’re still able to show your plants even when they’re covered with diatomaceous earth. That just means you’re being a good plant parent and trying different methods to keep up with their needs. Rather than it always needing to be an aesthetic thing.

Take the pic off the wall (move it), put thai ontop of something like a plant stand. Put plants from the floor by windown underneath thai to have more floor room 🤷🏼♀️💚 just a suggestion 😊
I would start under the TV by switching the wood shelf and the Thai, maybe it will be more balanced next to the window
Lots of new updates 😀🇨🇦
Thanks for the July update Fern!
the twin growth points happens to my brasil and silver stripe often and one vine usually reverts and the other tends to go all yellow even on my silver stripe! that was definitely the most bizarre part was getting a neon vine from my silver stripe lol
Thai Con just needs a little riser stand or if you repot get a pot with matching stand?
The orange colored shelf needs to be black I think… can you paint it? That will help alot!
Hi Fern! If you were to move the Milsbo wide cabinet from under the TV, where would it go? If you had a place to put it, you could replace it with Vittsjo shelves. A tall skinny one on either side of the TV and a short one under the tv? I can't tell size-wize if that would fit.
Finally managed to find a Majestic snip in the uk so am very excited for that to arrive 💚
Hi Fern! Have you tried a calathea in pon yet? I had 2 divas and decided on giving them a chance in pon, and they seem to really like it!
I think the Thai needs some kind of plant stand. Same with the polynuera, just a little one to lift it up a little bit off the milsbo. 🌻 🖤
Yes I would like to see video of you installing frosted cover for glass shelves. Where do you purchase the frosted covers
I got the roll from Amazon, I'll include it in an upcoming video!
Well I need to figure out my thai constellation..Got it for xmas and it grew 1 leaf and since then its just taking up space. Not doing much of anything. So I bought a new baby yesterday..A anthurium crystal Hope.. Hopefully the Thai will see she’s not #1 and do something 😂😉. Thanks for the update Fern. Kisses to Olive and Cadence. Have a great day!
Love your Monstera - Thai Constellation!!! How exciting to see your Hoya - Crimson Queen blooming. I have recently placed mine on a trellis. I too look forward to blooms. My Zygo cactus (or christmas cactus) is blooming bight pink flowers at the moment. Christmas in July. It will be interesting if it blooms again in December!!! Cast Iron plant lives up to its name 🤣!!!
If you’ve got stuck leaves, wrap a damp paper towel around, or cloth around cute stuck leaves. Hold for a few minutes and then unwrap. It will help
Your bipennifolium could actually be a botanical study, I love it.
Your home is beautiful! I would raise the Thai up higher ❤ maybe a plant stand? You are awesome!!
The brown shelf could be painted black like the cabinet and raise the Thai off the floor. Love your videos.
A tall planter would be great for the Philodendron and that will pull the space together and give it balance I think.
Omg “me and my pesties” 😂😂😂 I am weak!
Maybe you could swap the long table that was on the side of the vitsjo and the wide, under the tv. Then you could put plants under and on top of the table? Idk if it could work, just a thought.
I just lost my Alocasia Jacklynn that had 4 massive leaves to spider mites 😭. Luckily the root system looks really good, just have to figure out where to chop because it looks like a new leaf was wanting to come in. It has some corms, but I have no luck with growing corms. I always rot them.
Love the nails Fern. I was thinking blue but found out I don’t own any blue. I need to get one , I guess!
So glad my area doesn't have spider mites! Can you imagine!?!?!?!? 😂
I was wondering how old your Thai Constellation was? I have one and got it as a one leaf cutting a three years ago and now she’s a beast!
Have you ever tried Fluval Stratum for props, it's amazing
Hmm your chunky mix looks like mine in the pots. Lots of giant perlite.
Love the updates!
Also 🍃 🌬️ but put the Thai in the middle and move the cabinet to the left corner
Your variegated domestics is stunning.
