Yay! You cut up your euphorbia ghost.
You cut it in all the right places.
Im sure it will dry quickly ( a week or so) and then you can start it in a new pot with new soil.
The window sill is fine to leave unless the sun is directly burning it.
Remember not to over water in the next month or so.
I'd only do a light spray of the first 2 inches to encourage root growth and then let soil dry out....before spraying again.
Add a bit more pumice or perlite to your cacti mix if you are concerned about root rot.
Did you find out what the browning is?
Looks like a fungal infection or sunburn.
I will do some research for you.
Jo from New 🇳🇿 Zealand.
I tend to spritz my succulents, even in summer as fully watering them causes rot.
thank you so much Jo! I will follow those instructions for rooting it up 🙏
Hi! So, I was having the same issue with my P. melanochrysum. Every leaf would get stuck and mine was in high humidity (90-100%). I read somewhere where someone suggested that the leaves get stuck like that when its growing too fast under too much light. I put mine under a bit of shade and all leaves after than never got stuck. Hope this helps 🌱🤘💚
I know I'm late with my comment but that's actually really good to know! Thanks!
So amazing how LARGE AND IN CHARGE your Philodendron Verrucosum has grown! He’s a beaut!!! Maturing! Wow! I remember when he was a bebe!
ahhh RIGHT!! it's so wild!
Hey! Just wanted to let you know in case you didn’t, that milky substance in Euphorbia can be incredibly toxic for humans and pets- it can leave you with permanent visual impairment or otherwise as well so please be ver careful and wash up! Also a good note to pass along to others. 💕
Edit: also I bet u already know this as you used to have that giant one- just putting it out there for everyone!
Thanks for the information
I SO get the urge to rescue the stuck 🐛 leaves! Something I've found that works great is a dampened Q Tip. This helps prevent damage and keeps me from forcing it too much. If the q tip can't get it out, it's not ready (at least that's what Intwll myself so I don't keep going at it lol)
Hello! The roots of your cactus look dead. I would cut them off and reestablish them. I'm still watching. Love your videos!
When a new leaf is stuck like the Silver Sword baby leaf try a round chopstick. Just push the chopstick through where the leaf is separating. Then gently roll the stick forward with one hand and with the free hand help to pull the leaf away slowly bit by bit as the chopstick moves forward. The chopstick is soft wood and works more gently than a tweezer. Use o my a round chopstick, not one with corners or squarish,
YES! I needed this content rn. Fern, it's always so good to see you 🥺 hope you're feeling awesome today.
thank you Stephanie ❤️❤️ I hope you are as well!!
“oh god she thick, oh no” while cutting the cactus in pure panic was the best part
😂😂
I recently heard that increasing humidity helps the emerging leaves from being stuck. I was also having this problem with a couple of my philodendron. So far so good on my end, and I only increased it a few degrees. Happy growing….your videos are always a “Chef’s Kiss” 💛💚🧡
💚💚💚
What a beautiful euphorbia 😍 mine lives outside during the summer. I had just repotted it & the next day we had a hurricane and a tree branch fell on the table it was on, causing it to launch and brake 😭 I just threw it all back into the pot & they all survived, even the bits that broke off!
rewatching old videos and then realising theres a new one is just *chefs kiss*
😍😍😍
I’m so glad you showed the air layering. I never have but I want to try it on my Peru. That thing is SO hard to propagate.
Thanks for the new video.
Your euphorbia ghost will be fine in the window sill, I wouldn’t blast it with light while it’s callusing over. Make sure to pot it up in something small as the roots on those stay quite small. I used a little bamboo stake to keep mine upright while the roots were developing ☺️
Loved the video….I was low-key excited when I saw that the video was 40min lol…I know it must take a while to get all that footage, but I’m here for it 🙌🏾 🌿🌱🌿
Glad you liked it!! ❤️
I just love how you make notes of what you need to do. This would help me a lot. I’ve been struggling so much with my collection this winter and I’ve really snapped into action and just been trying to take care of and fix all my mess ups and get them back to health. I’m so sad seeing my plants sad 😔 Really admiring how well you’ve been taking care of your plant babies as well as all the amazing content you’re giving us 🤍✨
Sending you some good planty vibes hope your plant winter gets better i felt like this last winter seeing my plants sad and it was ruff 😢 💚💚💚🌱🪴🌿🤞❣
Awww thanks Sam. I can't wait to see your collection thrive this spring and summer 😍
The milky substance is the plant's sap, some get irritation from it so be careful when handling 💌 I I recommend using blades (like those razor replacements) when chopping up cacti since they are much thicker ++++ its recommended to get a clean cut when doing so :)
I have been searching for an id for my begonia and FINALLY I know! Begonia grey feather! I struggle so much with it (I hope you have better luck) and I finally just chopped it and stuck it in a vivarium to do whatever. When they get big they are gorgeous and I've seen specimens cascading from a balcony in botanical conservatories. Excited to see what yours does!!!
Good luck with your E Ghost. Mine took two years to take root and grow. Such an awesome plant
Nice air layer job!! And I am so glad you chopped the cactus. You are going to enjoy her for many years!! I am looking for one of those actually. Great job as always!!
Hey Fern. You may have tried this strategy for stuck philo leaves before but I find wetting a paper towel with warm water and then wrapping it around the stuck philo leaf for like 15min usually loosens the leaf up :))
I love how you put your crystal in ur plant's pot! I put stones in and around my plants all the time 👍
Your Verrucosum is making me so excited to see mine grow. I got a cutting a while ago with a sad leave but started rooting it in leca. It's very well rooted now and is putting out a new leaf. I'll pot up once that leaf unfurls and I can't wait. 😍
I always spritz any new emerging leaves with water as often as i can and they don't get stuck anymore. You have to imagine in the wild they're getting rained on constantly so the humidity and moisture helps them emerge from the petiole easily.
Not just once or twice a day, I legit leave the spray bottle next to my philos and just mist the new leaves every time I walk past. And if they're still stuck, which is rare, a soaking wet q-tip really helps release it without damaging it =)
I recently got a tiny little verrucosum cutting and a pink dragon alocasia. Could you make a video discussing how to care verrucosum or alocasia? They’re so pretty and I want to keep them healthy and thriving!
If they end up looking anything like yours I will be beyond thrilled ❤️
Hi Fern, I love chillaxing with you while you do your plant chores! And your Dragon Scale is AMAZING!! 😍
Fern!! Try using a tiny lipstick brush or eyeliner brush to help the silver sword leaves! Wet it and run it under the sheath and both sides and boop! It'll pop out and no damage!!
Hi! I think it’s great that you do a list! I enjoyed learning about the air layer. Can you explain next time what a petiol is and how it differs from some other plants? Just wondering.
Just became a patreon! Can’t wait to see all the missed content, lots of catching up! 🌿🤩
Ahh thank you so much yay! Excited to have you 🥰
Hi Fern! When you zoomed in on the second silver sword growth point, i saw what looks like a few thrips. They definitely looked like they were moving 😬 I figured i’d let you know bc i didn’t hear you mention it (could have totally missed it). Best of luck to you and i ADORE your videos ❤️❤️❤️
Omg youre RIGHT 😩😩😩
oh lol, I just told her too 😬.
@@wildfern So sorry to be the bearer of bad news 😅 hope it’s just this guy ❤️
How often are you watering your Euphorbia? Because you don’t leave that dry. I water mine as soon as the soil dries. Only time I hold off on watering is when they are dormant during winter. Of course for them to go dormant they would need to be outside and “feel the cold”. Then I bring them in place them somewhere (they do not need sun during that time) and water maybe one a month. Since you have yours inside water like normal. Also no light needed while they callous.
Verrucosum is stunning, love the colors/shades/tones of it. And the Dragon scale...Wow
I always use like an eyebrow powder brush to help leafs that are stuck! It won't damage the leafs cuz it is soft
I am going to try this next time!!
my fav kinda videos are your plant chore videos
Eeee thank youuuu 💚💚
Looks like some baby thrips on that silver sword. I was able to manage my thrip problem with store-bought insecticidal soap, the homemade stuff just never worked for me. Thrips are too strong lol
What a lucky ducky!😍 The sp. Silver has been on my radar since seeing it for the first time on Charmayne's channel!! If I drop any real money on a plant this spring it'll be that one! It's definitely the slight blue tent and the deep creases that get me🤤😯STUNNING
I've just bought an ear wax scraper like the one Charmaine uses to clean chunks and it works wonders to unstuck leaves. I think it's more gentle than tweezers. The philodendron sp Colombia is in my wishlist for 2022, it's just freaking cool! I'm from Italy so I hope I'll be able to find it!
ooo I need an ear wax scraper
I use perlite for starts its easier on roots & transfers to soil better
So over a year probably closer to 1 1/2 I propped a tiny arm of white ghost . It did root but it still has not grown. And it’s in ideal conditions as far as weather and sun . Hope
Yours is faster to establish, I may move the cuttings of the window gets cool. I would keep it in a warm bright place
currently watching your video while I'm doing the stairmaster at the gym! great stuff!
get it 👏
OMG your dragon scale is the most beautiful I have ever seen! And it's just going to get bushier!!! LOVE that one!! ❤❤❤
Ok, I'm not sure how helpful this is at this point, possibly something to look up for the future. I got an old, huge, crazy looking cactus off of FB marketplace that ended up being an opuntia monocantha (still a guess) and I thought it was dead because of the tan discoloration on the bottom portions of the cactus, but I found some pictures of cactus 'corking', which look similar, and the top of the cactus is popping out new growth under a grow light so I figure it's not dead? Maybe take a look and see if other cacti like yours go through the 'corking' process and if it might be that? Love your videos!
I would love to know if the cal mag works on your stuck leaves. I feel like all of my philodendron leaves get stuck but especially on my melanocrine and my ppp.
I absolutely adore these plant chores videos! So cool to see how you care for your plants and to see where we do similar things or where you do something new and I learned something!
Loved the checklist format and updates!
That sp silver!!! 😍 I’m so happy you got it! It’s beautiful! 💚🪴
thank youuuu 🥰
@@wildfern 💚💚
Omg I just lit a candle before starting this video :) Best vibes. Also the Philo sp. silver is GORGEOUS!
I love to hear your thoughts on what could be done next with your plants. That's entertaining and I learn a lot. Thank you.
Ghost cactus - I didn't think the roots had any disease and thought it might be that the soil was too porous/loose and prevented the water from staying around the roots to give them enough time to absorb the moisture. From my experience, cacti often need finer soil for water absorption (to the point of using sand-like consistency). I would keep even the browned part and try rooting.
it's possible! ok maybe I will end up keeping the brown one 👀
@@wildfern try it but put him by himself in laundry room! 😂 He be ok ✅. 🤘🏼🌿
@@__Annie Yas..quarantine it in case. Probably best to cut off the brown parts, and maybe cut into 2 pieces if brown is too invasive. I'm known not to waste any viable life, lol.
I love your dragon scale and your verrucosum 😍😍😍 definitely goals for sure!!
Also got a Philo sp. Silver last week and I'm obsessed! It shipped really well, leaves feel really sturdy. The roots looked kinda thin and fragile so will be holding my breath for a few weeks
That is awesome! I'm so excited for you😊I am having the hardest time finding one in the USA. It seems like they are more available in Canada. 🤷🏼♀️😊 I hope I hope yours dose great!🤞🏻
love your make up today 🥰
I'm excited to see how the white ghost euphorbia turns out, this was so satisfying making our way thru your list with you 😄
so back in the day i was watching one of plant life in the tropic's plant tour and she kept euphorbia in leca. idk how much you mess with leca but since i put mine in there it's done pretty decently for living in north america lol not a lot of growth but roots do look good. just food for thought 🌱
You and your plants are just stunning😍💕
Tip for removing sphagnum moss.
Let it sit in bowl of water for 5 mins, then it should slough off when you gently pull.
Hi Fern 👋 I am taking plant to hot shower when I see stuck leaf. After hot shower it is easier to loose it and the leaf can unfurl by itself. But with the plank it will be a little difficult 🥲
Do you think the bop trick would work? Hot towel on the silver sword leaf maybe once a day 🤷🏼♀️?
You should leave the euphorbia cuttings in a shaded spot until they callous over, so I'd avoid the grow lights for now. I'd also avoid watering for quite a while until you get new roots. I'd pot them up in dry soil.
Ok excellent thank you 🙏
I bought a lush 4” pot of that Begonia back in October 2021. It didn’t have an ID though!! I just did a search for the Grey Feather, it seems to also be called Begonia Angularis. I’m assuming it’s bc the stems have a very distinct hexagonal shape 🤩
Thank you for helping me identify her! 😘🙏 I recently included her in my Begonia Collection update video if you’d like to see a larger one 😊
I hope Olive is recovering well 💗
I can’t with your alocasia! So beautiful!!
me either ahah!! he's pretty special
Your apartment looks so adorable! I love your “gallery wall”! ☺️ I think your window sill is perfect, they need to dry but if put in the intense light they could end up shriveled on you! I’ve done this to a few agaves before! Hope it works out!
Oh thank you so much!
Hey it looks like a philodendron Verrucosum Bosco, not just a regulär Verrucosum. I have a quite big one 🙂👍
Ooo thank you!! There are so many different types, I've never known what this one is though 👀
@@wildfern it is sooo beautfiful, even more when it matures more and it is a lot less problematic than the regular verrucosum.
I totally injoy watching your videos they are very helpful and realizing.
You ordered what to help with your silver sword leaves not get stuck?
I love your videos, I learn alot and your vibe is everything I need in life right now!
Sending hugs for the winter blues as well. They truly are the worst!
cal-mag! a fertilizer. sometimes if plants are deficient they can have trouble unfurling new leaves.
@@wildfern thank you! I'll definitely look into this a few of my philodendren do this but I just assumed they just did that lol 🤦♀️😭🤣 live and learn right!
I'm still finishing this video and I just wanna say that silver philodendren is a stunner and just made it to my wish list!
Thanks for the details of air layering, I think I'm going to try it out with my campo and my melano. So I tried recording a cactus repot lol and I knocked over my coffee, didn't clean it up because I was finger deep in soil therefore u can see a puddle of coffee in the background of the vid 🤣 I really admire your ability to create content and appreciate you being transparente with the imperfections.
hahah awww! and yes def try air layering, it's so satisfying once they root!
What a nice video, Fern. It's always a fun time to come see your plants☀️ The Verrucosum specially looks beautifull😭😭
i wonder if before planking plants if soaking the plank would help the plants
Yeah the roots on the euphorbia look dead. This can happen when you don't water cacti and stuff in the winter. I water mine at least once a month in the winter (I'm from Edmonton). I wouldn't worry too much about it, though.
I'm attempting to reroot it, I just potted it up yesterday and put it under a grow light 🤞
I love that alocasia! I’m excited to be done w grad school so I can have alocasia and calathea again without killing them
Your mother dragon scale is AMAZING. I recently got a baby silver dragon scale and it is not enjoying me :( I just put together an ikea greenhouse a few days ago so I'm hoping it starts to flourish because I'm absolutely in love with them and want a big beautiful mature one so bad
Oh my god, your dragon looks amazing!
Your Dragon Scale is amazing. Are the verricosum leaves naturally shiny? I love hearing your thought process of what to do such as with the euphorbia. I would have done the same as you ultimately decided. Enjoy watching; thanks for sharing.
I had just taken it out of the shower, that's why it was so shiny! it's usually not lol, it's more "silky" if that makes sense.
Definitely think you made the right decision to cut your euphorbia! Those roots does not look right🤔 Hopefully it will make a great comeback💞 Love that plant!! Also I love love love these type of videos, just the chill chatty chores vibe!
The Philo sp silver is so stinkin pretty, now I want one. Nowhere to find though!
Try using a wet q tip to get your leaves free! It worked like a dream
Lay a cloth with Luke warm water wrung out well over the leaf for 15 mins or so it will unfurl it if ready 😁🪴
Check, check, ✅, list completed.🎉🎉. Welcome to the family Sp.Silver, she arrived in perfect condition 🤩😍. I hope that you and Olive are having an easier week.💖💖
Will you do a new wishlist plant video soon I would love to see what you want mine are monstera adansonii and a rubber tree very basic lol
Maybe the euphorbia needs a bit more water? Mine needs a surprising amount to do well and grow “leaves” (although not same species as yours) 🤷♀️
That cacti is so cool looking!
Hi Fern, I'm just watching your video, and as you showed the second incoming leaf of your philodendron silver sword, there where thrips larve crawling over it 😬
I hope you have seen that 🤔😉
ugh yes she's infested 🤧 pray for her
I was having such a bad day at work, thank you for this video :)
I hope your day gets better 💚
Your new plant is so pretty! 😍 I had so much anxiety when you said you were going to put the bebe dragon scales in with your beautiful big one. But then you tucked them in instead of repotting & all was well. lol
hahah yes we can all sleep soundly knowing the dragonscale is okay 🙏
@@wildfern I'm living vicariously through yours! This is my struggle alocasia.
Love the plant chore videos 💜💚🤍
❤️❤️❤️
As per usual, can hardly get through a few minutes without commenting 🙃 Your eyeliner is amazing! Love the buzz cut and cat eye!
Thank youuuu ☺️☺️
The Monstera standy is so cute
thank you 🥺
im obsessed
Hi Fern, your Dragon Scale is unbelievably beautiful! Also thanks for the idea of air layering - how soon will your be checking on root growth?
I will peak in a few weeks!
Up the humidity on that silver sword they’ll pop out easier. I also cannot help myself
Did you spray your Verrucosum leaves with something? They are so shiny
it was just in the shower getting watered haha they're just wet :)
🌞 Very happy Olive is doing much better. Fern your place is looking fantastic. I like the vibe 🖤📚🌿
🌵 Some brown on those cacti is called hatching or corking but I think I would investigate further like your doing .
oh thank you so much 🥰
You are KILLING the alocasia game. Hot damn! I’m so envious of how amazing yours looks compared to my sad little single leaf 😂 You’re total goals.
oh thank youuuuu
Amazing!! I was going to air layer my PPP but my dog unrooted the whole plant so I had to chop it up to save it lolololol
Just wanted to give you a heads up, in my experience jewel alocasia tend to grow much smaller foliage once outside a cabinet. My black velvet put out an 11 inch leaf while in mine, but the second I brought it out it went back to the usual 5-6 inch leaves :(
Maybe I didn’t acclimate it well enough, but she’s been doing fine. Just as I mentioned much smaller new growth.
😢😢😢
I keep mine in my bathroom and the last two leaves I’ve received are about 6-8” long! I live in a dry climate. The nursery I bought it from had it in 100% compost and it’s loving it!
I once forgot a cuprea corm in a bag of spag and to my surprise found a baby plant 4 months later when I went to reuse it 😅
Any tips for propagating a Philodendron Pink Princess for the first time? She’s over three foot tall and just outta hand at this point. I’ve never cut her and I’m afraid too 🙃 What’s the best or I should say most successful method?
Usually philos prop easily in water for me! Or perlite :)
Yesss! I was in need of a fern plant chore video 🪴💚
🥰🥰🥰
Hi, thanks for the information! 👏🏼🙌🏼 Do you have the Alocasia Amazónica? Because I gave one to my mom and it dried up right away... I wanted to know if it needs any special care. Greetings! ✌🏼
The new plant is amazing ❤ but philodendron verricosum nails it, I mean it is soooo stunning 😍 💚 also, I'm happy olive is okay , many kisses xxx
thank you ❤️
My silver sword has been doing the same inch worm thing and getting damaged because of it. Does anyone have advice for preventing this?
Also lovely video Fern, always relaxing to watch :)
Someone answered this question already, read through the comments and you’ll find the answer! I learned from it!!
Hello Fern 👋
Your videos make my day! 😊
Philodendron Verrucosum is a plant I must have!! After doing some research I see there are several varieties but yours is the type that I want. It’s so beautiful and the leaves are so shiny and vibrant. Do you happen to know the variety?
I am not sure what variety it is :( I just received it as "philodendron verrucosum" - I would like to know also lol
Well it sure is gorgeous! 🤩 Thanks for responding
