Hi Fern ❤I just resigned from my toxic job (20 minutes ago) to study horticulture fulltime - I think you were a huge inspiration for me to do so. I am following my dreams, and the fact that I jumped straight on TH-cam to see you had a new video was a sign I'm doing the right thing. Thanks for your videos. Love from a fellow Gemini planty lady in Australia ❤
That sounds amazing. Which state are you in if you don’t mind me asking! I’m in SA and I’m disappointed at the lack of variety we have in Australia. 💚🌿🪴
@@pudik2008I'm in WA, some plants are near impossible to find. Have started buying more and more plants from Tissue Culture. Flora Magnifica are a great place to start looking if you want to go that way. Great results so far for me from them. Unbelievably good packaging and service.
@@Alicewatcheseverythingohhh stahhhhpppp ittt! We were fine before we will be fine again. our country needs time to recover from this inflation anyways, and our extreme deficit. our country is in so much debt that we have more debt than almost all of the major countries combined.
Entering new era: 300 plants reached, now decreasing collection to get the top care for fewer plants 🌱✨ This video saying goodbye to the huge prop box is like the very end of an era haha
There was something super satisfying about seeing that mini echo system unveiled. 😁 Nice to get everything sorted and potted though. Thanks once again for your time and energy 💜✨🌿
I have a philodendron paraiso verde growing in Finland, in Northern Europe. I have one living on my south facing window and I don't have particularly high humidity. During summer it's around 50 percent and during winter a bit less if I use humidifier. During summer the temperature in my apartment is 25-26 celsius degrees because we don't have air conditioning. These conditions seems to be enough for the paraiso verde to get nice variegation. The ones that are placed somewhere else in the apartment don't get variegated leaves. So the bright location likely means that the temperature is high enough too. I have plant lights but those don't seem to provide enough heat for the variegation to appear. I expect the leaves not be variegated during winter in the south window during winter, because there's not warm enough. The temperature will be 21-22 celsius degrees. The problem during winter is also keeping up with the humidity, because without humidifiers the humidity will drop under 30 percent, so I have to keep on filling them every day to please my plants (and my husband's guitars!)... I see no difference in the climates between Finland and Canada so you could get variegated leaves too. Just pick the warmest location and bright light!
i just want you to know how much your videos always cheer me up 💙 i had a collection of maybe 75 plants that i had maintained for years. but during a depressive episode that kept me in the hospital and unable to care for them for too long, i lost almost all of my collection. i just have a cpl cacti and my thai constellation left. it can get really depressing bc i haven’t been able to afford more, and now that it’s winter i’ll prob just wait till spring anyway. but watching your videos always helps me feel connected to that part of me and helps soothe the loss 💙💙 i can’t wait to have a collection like yours one day!!
I have Philodendron Brandtianum that’s thriving in a semi sealed glass jar. If anyone out there loves a certain plant, but it won’t grow because it needs high humidity, keep it in a large, sealed, glass, jar situation, it’ll thrive and you never have to mess with it. It looks beautiful and is super low maintenance.
Your new way of growing cuttings (in the small container) looks a lot neater plus, you can just put them on your shelf and don't need to use separate lightning! 😊 I am glad that you went through the bin and also that most of them, did survive!! 😇
🥰🤗🐾thank you Fern for all your kindness!!!! Im sorry to see youve got extra meanies in the comments on this one🤮… I really do appreciate you🫶🏼 Youre the best💚💚💚💚
I mean this is your garden thank you for bringing us along on your journey of caring for so much other life it's therapeutic grow what you want to grow try new things experiment have fun
I live in Sweden but have succeeded with the Paraiso verde 😍👌🏻 I have it in my cabinet, has leca in a shoe tray underneath and fill it every watering, keep it moist 😍 you can also have a heatpad under the tray! Wish you the best of luck ❤️
I live in a cooler climate (alaska - hi neighbor!) and the only way I can get nice varigation off the paraiso Verde is by putting it on a heated seed mat and blasting it with light. Heat + high light = gorgeous varigation! If you dont provide both, it wont do jack.
I agree propagations stress me out simply for the fact that it’s more to care for, but yours looks like easy peasy caring in that box. Actually I would like to do it that way!
I had a prop box going for over a year, everything was thriving. I added a cutting about a month ago (I sanitized, cut off all signs of rot, etc) and the entire prop box rotted 😭. So now I’ll just watch you go through yours because never again 😂
Have you grown PV out? I've noticed the newest leaves won't have great variegation but as they age and get blasted with sun, they'll variegate. I have a 5' one that I pop outside once it warms up and the green leaves will start coloring up...in full morning sun, in the American southwest 😅
Hey, I manage to get good variegation on my paraiso verde and I live in a colder environment (uk). I have it placed in my Ikea cabinet so it benefits from the warmth of the grow lights! ❤
Thanks for the video! Gave me something to watch it while I neem sprayed the life out of my plants (saw a fungus gnat flying around my syngonyum albo 😩)
For me i am impatient waiting for plants to root up. So once i see roots i repot them straight away. Water and Pon substrates works the best for me. Moss and perlite i find those are hard to remove off the roots without damaging it.
That prop box was gorgeous! I will always remember in the early days when you started out YT your prop box,you were propping wet sticks and all,you really inspired me,as I didn’t even know there was a thing as wet sticks 😅 I’m trying to downsize my ‘security plants’ I think 4 or 5 of each is a tad too much 😂 Are you able to put several Aurea together to make it bushy? I’m putting 2 together ATM. Really love those new black pots as well,the attention is on the greenery and not a bright white pot,there are times when white suits a spot or plant but the black in your cabinet looks really good. 💚💚💚🪴🌿
I like in the Rockies in the US and also have trouble growing Paraiso Verde. It does great as a plain green plant 😂 but I can’t keep any variegation, even with high humidity
it's so great for propagating things when you just want to set & forget! basically no maintenance 🙌 (just don't leave yours for like a year like me hahaha)
Philo periso verde would thrive living with your hoya above big window up high by your table. I finally after 3 years have figured it out here in Ohio. I now have beautiful growth and verigation
I did, so nice to see you looking at new ways to keep propagations, I prefer that your keeping it niche and your collection to things your passionate about. Actually think you have always done it that way. ❤
Im obsessed with micro plants, the only ones that grow really "big" only do so because they spread and branch like crazy after some time, wich is why I prune em at some point because they outgrow their containers ( most of my micros need very high humidity so they grow in either fancy glass containers or my tiny greenhouses in wich they just cant grow and grow and grow) I just cant bring it over me to throw the cuttings away so I, for example, have a huge box thats by now kinda bursting with the Begonia lichenora nation thats been growing in there. Its like four times as big as the original mother plant and I dunno what to do with it 😅
I have a Sarawak too, wich is about to start its own box nation, because its also gotten huge. The cutting I got was smaller than yours and now has been blooming for months nonstop. Are you sure you have a Sarawak and not a Lichenora tho? My Sarawak rather grows upright ( tho it might creep/climb if I gave it a medium) and has bigger leaves, even as a cutting( 2-3cm), with a very strong blue iridescence. Your looks more like the half dead Lichenora cuttings I got first. They look almost identical in the half dead cutting state tho 😂. Either way I had success with both Sarawak and Lichenora by first having em in Sphagnum until they were rooted properly and only then switched to mineral. They both get a constant humidity of minimum 80% and absolutely hate getting their leaves wet. I saw your greenhouse cabinet has 69% humidity? If u read this lemme know how ur Sarawak is doing by now if u wanna :3
I know you have done your pawn mix in the past. But what was your recipe on making your own pawn or the video where you showed that again please? Thank you.
I can’t grow a nice Paraiso either, we prefer our home cooler than 22, I won’t be buying her again, wonder if there’s others temp dependent on variegation? That dubia needs plank! I put my Rhaphidophora Korthalsii on a cedar plank, I’ll def do the same when I get a dubia I mentioned that vid that I did like the semi hydro pots you got, but yes you have to jiggle the level when filling, I’ve never used other kinds or semi hydro with the water level, so that’s normal to me now, also, the clear cap will break off easily too That “Pon” scoop I bought as a bonsai substrate scoop, I have one for every substrate bin I have, love them so much That bigger Alocasia dragon looks like a silver to me, tried mine in leca, it’s been a 2 yr journey, just had to replace her… So jelly of your epi pinn Albo, barely any variegation on mine at all, I’m gonna keep looking
I have a hoya leucanosa and it looks like yours. Don't know how to get it to have more leaves without burning them. Don't know about a trellis. It looks to me more like the chingengensis, that is a sprawling, hanging plant.

Retiring the prop box AND the ladle? Nooooooooo 🤣🤣💜💚
Lmao!! 🤣 who am I
😂😂😂😂😮😮😮
Entering new era: 300 plants reached, now decreasing collection to get the top care for fewer plants 🌱✨
This video saying goodbye to the huge prop box is like the very end of an era haha
omg a jungle in a box 😍Then there's me that checks my prop boxes every couple of days because I'm impatient 😂
😂😂😂
lol!! I'm like that sometimes, these were definitely out of sight out of mind though 🤭😂
There was something super satisfying about seeing that mini echo system unveiled. 😁
Nice to get everything sorted and potted though. Thanks once again for your time and energy 💜✨🌿
yes!! feels so good to get it all sorted :) thank you for watching x
i was NOT expecting that when you opened your prop box hahaha! How exciting!

And we're back! Been away from your channel for a bit but here I am catching all up
welcome back!! 😃
Thanks for the motivation i cleaned out mine and switched to a smaller one and tossed the cuttings I didn’t care about 😂🌱
yesss! feels so good! 👏
You've made a wonderful day even better with your planty video, peace Fern!
thank you so much for watching :)
Dude your holiday cactus looks beautiful in the background!! 💙💙💙
I am definitely in Heaven. Scrolling and saw another new video. I'm so, so happy 😊 😊😅. Keep the😊m coming. Always happy when a new Fern video is on.

Im sorry to see youve got extra meanies in the comments on this one🤮…
I really do appreciate you🫶🏼
Youre the best💚💚💚💚
This is exactly why I never committed to a big prop box. Your wet sticks look like they just pushed new growth. This is a surprise box!
yayyy I love your propagation videos! happy that you uploaded today 💚💚🌿🌱

I mean this is your garden thank you for bringing us along on your journey of caring for so much other life it's therapeutic grow what you want to grow try new things experiment have fun
awe well thank you so much for watching :)
Thank you Fern for sharing!!! Love your energy and your cozy kind video. 🌱🙌

yes me too! thank you
So much fun watching you clean that box out. 😅Enjoyed.
I live in a cooler climate (alaska - hi neighbor!) and the only way I can get nice varigation off the paraiso Verde is by putting it on a heated seed mat and blasting it with light. Heat + high light = gorgeous varigation! If you dont provide both, it wont do jack.
I live in Florida and mine grows on my screen porch with beautiful variegation... so definitely heat and light😊
Thank you, we really needed this video. ❤
I’m taking this as a sign that I also need to clear out my prop box 😅💚
Good luck with all of your props. Can't wait to see them grow 🧡🌿
thank you so much :)
Goodbye ladle! You served Fern well my friend!
🫡
Also, i have to say, that begonia on the background is gettin HUGE!🤩
omg right!! she's such a beast!
'theres some creepy stuff in here yall' LIKE YOU DIDNT PUT IT ALL IN THERE 😂😂😂 i love prop box vids.
I live in SC and was told by a grower that I would have to keep Pareto verde on heat map!
Good bye, ladle. Thank you for your service 🙏🏽
I agree propagations stress me out simply for the fact that it’s more to care for, but yours looks like easy peasy caring in that box. Actually I would like to do it that way!
yes the box is super low maintenance! my only problem is leaving it for like a year and forgetting about the plants in there 😂
@@wildfern 🤣😂
It was so fun to see your prop box! You're not alone in prop box disaster/ goo💚
I like the idea of taping the light on the lid! What kind of lights are those?
I had a prop box going for over a year, everything was thriving. I added a cutting about a month ago (I sanitized, cut off all signs of rot, etc) and the entire prop box rotted 😭. So now I’ll just watch you go through yours because never again 😂
so sad 😭
oh no that's annoying :( there were def several rotted wet sticks in here, but luckily it didn't spread!
Retiring the ladle 😂🇨🇦
She served us well! haha
Thanks for always being so real about your plants! The rotten plants really made me feel so seen 😅
hahah yes it's not always very glamorous over here 😆 thank you for watching!!
Have you grown PV out? I've noticed the newest leaves won't have great variegation but as they age and get blasted with sun, they'll variegate.
I have a 5' one that I pop outside once it warms up and the green leaves will start coloring up...in full morning sun, in the American southwest 😅
This box got pretty wild, loved it! Wish you luck reanimating the Amphioxus! 🍀
Hey, I manage to get good variegation on my paraiso verde and I live in a colder environment (uk). I have it placed in my Ikea cabinet so it benefits from the warmth of the grow lights! ❤
I’d just live it as is! So pretty
Update video on the anthurium bakeri seedlings?
how do u stop the other plants from rotting if u have a couple rotted roots n things ? xxx
Prop Boxes can sometimes be magic like that
decluttering and repotting props is freeing , just did this recently too
begonia ampi
I’ll bet that when all is said and done you’ll be glad you finally cleared it out
❤you Fern! I needed this finally got my prop box cleaned out😊thank u
glad to hear it! 🌱😃
Good morning Fern. This sounds exciting.
Where did you get your new propagation boxes?
Thanks for the video! Gave me something to watch it while I neem sprayed the life out of my plants (saw a fungus gnat flying around my syngonyum albo 😩)

Love your prop box! Great vid once again 😊
#algorithmcomment ❤
Hello love, when you make the prop box, how moist do you start with?
just damp. you don't want it to be dripping wet. wring out most of the excess water and you should be good :)
@wildfern Thank you so much 💓
It's a hard day today. I'm finding light in your videos. Thank you, Fern.
thank you for watching, sending you lots of love! x
Hi!! How often do you open your box?
Neverrrr. Maybe once every couple months to toss something in.
That prop box was gorgeous! I will always remember in the early days when you started out YT your prop box,you were propping wet sticks and all,you really inspired me,as I didn’t even know there was a thing as wet sticks 😅

it's so great for propagating things when you just want to set & forget! basically no maintenance 🙌 (just don't leave yours for like a year like me hahaha)
Yea Fern, the Monstera Aureas don’t like to be root bound and like high humidity to stop browning. 😊
I have my monstera durian on moss pole it loves it rooted in fast and growing great
Philo periso verde would thrive living with your hoya above big window up high by your table. I finally after 3 years have figured it out here in Ohio. I now have beautiful growth and verigation
I have tons of propagation jar I need to get rid of.
The leucantha I bought from Planthaven came on a wire trellis.😊
Greetings Fern from a fan in Greensboro, North Carolina. 🪴🙋🏽♀️. Enjoy the rest of your day🌄
I have been trying to find a begonia luna and cannot locate it
Whoa!! 🤯 that’s full 😊
Ooh another video woop 🙌🏼 ❤
woo hoo enjoy!! 🌱
I did, so nice to see you looking at new ways to keep propagations, I prefer that your keeping it niche and your collection to things your passionate about. Actually think you have always done it that way. ❤
I call my props BUP-back up plan. I have saved lots of plants by having cuttings
it's a good idea!
Im obsessed with micro plants, the only ones that grow really "big" only do so because they spread and branch like crazy after some time, wich is why I prune em at some point because they outgrow their containers ( most of my micros need very high humidity so they grow in either fancy glass containers or my tiny greenhouses in wich they just cant grow and grow and grow) I just cant bring it over me to throw the cuttings away so I, for example, have a huge box thats by now kinda bursting with the Begonia lichenora nation thats been growing in there.

Do you sell on palm street?

So jelly of your epi pinn Albo, barely any variegation on mine at all, I’m gonna keep looking
Hey Fern! 👋🏽
hi!! thank you very much for watching :)
@wildfern always!!! 😊
you must be happy with your monstera albo progress! Did you not almost lose her at some point?
I put my monstera dubia on a moss pole and it WENT OFFFFFFF! the plank didnt do much bc it was in lowish humidity (40%)
Oh to be half an inch tall and live in that forest of a prop box 😍😂
Right 🥹🧚
@wildfern the way I nerd out every time you reply 😅
Whaaattt no ladle era 😅💚
I have a hoya leucanosa and it looks like yours. Don't know how to get it to have more leaves without burning them. Don't know about a trellis. It looks to me more like the chingengensis, that is a sprawling, hanging plant.
Definitely trellis your Hoya leucantha. It wants to climb
When I look online, everyone else seems to let them trail and they look so pretty. But mine is uggz :(
Begonia amphioxus is so difficult 😢
Thank you for posting I needed this today 😭 these videos really help me when I’m stressed out tysm
Morning 😊
good morning :) enjoy the video 🌱
gracias
Gonna be goo in there with the rotted plants.
💚🌱💚🌱💚
I thought you had taken your Halloween decorations down. But there they are.
I would be happy to purchase your monstera cuttings for a fair price if you post me a link on posh mark ect. If you don’t want to keep them.
I need that shirt youre wearing in every color
I wondered what that fluttery plant with the little ruffled edges was. So cute
I think your perlite is bigger than my coarse #4. Mine is the size of baby marshmallows
Alocasia love prop box living.
❤❤❤
monstera aurea giveaway ? 🙈 hehe
Ooooh girl i needed your light today, thank you for this video.
Sending ya love all the way from suuuuuper red Texas 😭
Sending love and light from Canada
😢 I’m in Texas too. Very scary times.
Hey Fern
I hope you’re feeling better!!
