ABOUT ME
I’m Fern! A 20-something gal living on beautiful Vancouver Island, Canada with my partner and two dogs. I like to create content on social media part time and also work as a Registered Nurse. I am interested in health and wellness - nutrition, holistic living, and exercise. I have been vegan for over 4 years and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. I have over 100 houseplants and love to share about them :) For those into astrology, I am a gemini sun, scorpio moon, & libra rising. I started out on social media with a focus on makeup/beauty/fashion and am not into it as much, but I do share on those topics from time to time. Thanks for stopping by!

I am pretty sure the Thai rotted cause you have it in waay to big of a pot. That way it does not really dry out enough, even though the top seems completly dry, the water is in all the soil just way too long. At least that's my experience, was main reason why people had rotted roots, when they asked me to check them (worked at plant store :)) SO I allways put aroids in fairly small teracota pots. Thats also why the root was sticking out - wanted to get to "better" part of soil, the top that dries faster :) That soil mix you made looks grat :)
Ahhh this makes sense, I bet you're right - thank you!
Late comment
When I had a thai constellation, i potted mine in a terracotta pot with a very aerial soil mix. Back then, my soil mix was 1/3 cactus soil, little regular soil, alots of perlite.
Mine did not rot. I think part of the reason was that I bought a rooted plant from the start.
Started from the beginning after seeing where your gorgeous Thai started! Quite the journey indeed!
I bought a Thia Constellation (same size) from the same Vancouver shop that you did about 3 months ago. When I got it there were two leaves and one on the way. New leaf popped out and I lost an original leaf (turned yellow and died). Now I am about to loose another leaf and no new growth. My soil mix is really chunky (lots or orchid bark) and I am definitely not over watering. Soil mix dries out so fast. If anything I may be underwatering. It also gets the best seat in the house (constant bright indirect light) I am glad to hear that I am not the only one struggling with this plant. This was a wishlist plant and a HUGE splurge for me. PLEASE keep us updated on this plant. Thank you for sharing. Love your content!
Oh my gosh yes they are tricky and I was totally unprepared based on how easy regular monstera is hahah. I will be so happy when/if mine ever grows large. Good luck!!
@@wildfern I keep saying to my Thia 'just put out a new leaf so I know you are ok!' My regular monstera and my adansonii are so easy and they grow like crazy
I love all your videos so much, your one of my favorite plant TH-camr! 🌿🥰 you have a very soothing voice to listen too!! Also the mixed you made is AMAZING!!!!
Thank you so much 😊
A Monstera Albo is definitely on my plant bucket list! 😍😍 so pretty! And root rot is the worst 😩
Yesss! It was on mine for a long time, too. Thank you! And isn’t it omg, this is why I underwater most of my plants 😅
I've been having issues with my Thai constellation lately as well! It was doing great but was insanely rootbound so I repotted it. I guess I didn't make the soil chunky enough and I noticed the soil wasn't drying out fast enough. I repotted it and now it is doing super well :) Basically, make sure the soil is chunky enough that water drips through within less than a minute. From what I understand, lots of aroids don't want to sit in wet soil and so the soil mixture should be extremely chunky. Right now, my Thai is in a soil mixture that is probably 60-75% of the pro-mix orchid mixture that you showed, along with perlite and high-quality potting soil. I hope both of our Thais get better :)
Ahh amazing!! Thank you so much for the info, I really appreciate it! 🙌
My experience with Thai constellation is that when you repott it, it obly take Energie in fill that new area with roots. I reported is just slightly bigger and I had to wait more than 2 months until a new leaf was staring to grow.
Your plants look great! I love the idea of reusing the fruit mesh bag to stop the soil from falling :)
Thank you!! And yes, so handy! Love that I don’t have to toss them out now
Such a good idea using the avocado bag as a mesh barrier! I'll have to start doing that. I tried the coffee filter method, and sometimes it grows mold which stressed me out. Always love seeing your plant vids! 🌿🖤
omg I used to use t-shirt scraps because that's what I saw someone else doing and soooo many of my plants have moulded :( so i've switched to this now and I think it allows them to drain so much better!
i have my thai constellation in lechuza pon and she loves it ! i hope yours wil love her new home ! my albo is stil in soil but i am thinking to transfer her in pon soon
Interesting - just googled it. I will have to look into that more, thank you!!
That albo is GORGEOUS js ❤🌱❤
I like the organic look your videos have. When videos are set up too perfectly, it looks so fake to me. 💜
Thanks so much, makes me feel better! 😊
Have you tried to root your Thai in perlite it really helped me with a few plants with the worry of my plants root rotting ,but good luck 👍
I got a Monstera thai constellation in January. I didn't water it until a month after it arrived because it was dry. Then bam root rot. It lost most of its root system. It's still alive and has 3 big roots with no branching smaller roots left. I've tried different potting mixes, water, leca, everything really. I don't know what to do with it anymore. I feel bad because my Dad bought it for me for Christmas.
Did your plant recover? What are you growing it in now?
me now watching you put that mesh in with the albo and wishing I could tell past you not to lol
HAHA oh my gosh no kidding, I had no idea...
Why don’t u use leca in monstera anymore?
Hopefully the new medium will help the Thai! I’ve heard so many problems with them versus the albo which is kinda ironic 😅
Yeah oh my gosh! I never thought it would be so fussy, especially compared to how easy regular monstera is 😆
wildfern I feel like even the albo is easy. Idk why the Thai insist on being so complicated lol
Nice can't wait for an update!
Me too!
Great repotting! I'm sure your Thai constellation will do much better in your new mix sine this is more airy and chunky. I have one which I bought as small plant like your and after two years I'm seeing some fenestration on the leaves.However they are very beautifully varigated. I think they like to dry out between watering 0s and i keep mine on south facing window where she is getting plenty of direct hot sun which seems to like it. How is yours doing now?
She's not well, got root rot again! Such a struggle. Rehabbing her right now and I hope she makes it!
I've killed my thai const 😞 cuz root rot but i have no problem w/ my albo n aurea... i guess thai is more temperamental by water 🤔 but why many people says thai is easier to care 🤷🏻♀️ ...confuse...nice channel n good luck for ur monstera
It's sooo temperamental. I have not had this experience with any of my other monstera's! Lol. And ahhh I'm jealous of your Aurea!
Beautiful
Thank you
put more perlite like 70-80%?
what's the updates for both plants?
They are both doing amazing!
how much did you pay for your thai constellation and albo?
My Thai was $60ish I think and my Albo was $200
@@wildfern where did you get them? I neeed!
Really wish you were using your platform to help vocalize black voices and educating your followers. Pretty sad that life goes on as normal for white people. I almost feel the need to unsubscribe with your lack of support but i love your plant content. Hope to see a change!
Hey, I hear you. Do you follow me on instagram? That's where I have the largest reach, and thus where it makes the most sense to me to post important content - I have shared nothing but BLM content all week, attended a rally in my city, and tried to educate myself. There's definitely a line between doing the work and performative activism as well, which is why I have chosen not to vlog those events, etc. But you're right, I'm not perfect, and I have a lot to do to improve. Thanks for your input.
wildfern That makes sense but I didn’t see ur insta so I thought you were just posting like nothing was going on. Just another perspective! We’re all learning and growing especially right now. I’m very glad to hear you have been supporting the movement ! And i agree u shouldn’t vlog @ protests haha sorry for not looking more into it before commenting!
Don’t apologize! I 100% see where you’re coming from and agree with you. My following on YT is a lot smaller, so I guess I just assume most people here are from my IG and are seeing the information I am sharing over there. Really, I should be sharing about it on all platforms. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Honestly, this is an important issue to be aware of and many are out there to spread awareness. However, telling someone on how to operate their channel is not ok. This is a channel about plants. The fact that you brought up race and how life goes on normally for white people is also not ok. In my opinion, that's considered racism by judging someone for the things that they do/not do because of who they are!
