What a lovely video to have on as I take care of my own plants. I’m new to it all, but it has made me happy. My studio is a jungle now. 🌴
I love putting on wildfern videos while I repot/water my plants also 😊
Have one hour left of work and was refreshing for something to keep me entertained so this is sooo perfect!!
ahh perfect timing indeed 🫶 thank you for watching x
Hey girl, just wanted to comment to let you know that the DTE will work better dry....especially with the mealy bugs. I grew up on a farm with massive gardens and we have always used it. If you coat the leaves and the tops of the soil with DRY DTE after a water, you might see better results. This is my absolute favorite plant channel, and your plants are beautiful.
Love these monthly updates. Keep them going dueing winter, because it can feel like such an unproductive time for plants. Always looking for those who can relate.
You’ve got so many blooming and growing plants. It’s like having your own jungle.
I always love your updates...you have such a beautiful collection,, don't know how you take care of everything!! You are one of the many plant youtubers that inspired me to start my own plant channel, I have a large collection but not nearly as many as you!🤣🤣Sometimes I hesitate to watch your videos because I always end up seeing something else that I want!! Anyway, keep up the good work, you have been in the game a long time and it inspires me to keep going!!💕💕
I'm so glad to see you doing effective pest control! I love to binge watch creators, and I couldn't believe how long different pests were still in your collection!
What a lovely showround of your home and gorgeous plants, absolutely stunning as yourselves. I am so jealous !! You are gorgeous!!!
I love waking before everyone else in the house and watching on of your videos with a cup of coffee. Morning mom win!
i’ve been WAITING for a majestic update!!! i just got one after seeing yours before it got chopped and i’m so happy to see an update on her
Can’t believe it says “22 seconds ago”🥹🥹 Every week I look forward for the new wildfern video!!
awe thank you so much and I hope you enjoy this one!
Omg I’m also dealing with the exact same pest problems…. Thrips, mealies, a bit of spider mites and some scale too! I always knew about diatomaceous earth but just recently purchased it after seeing you and a few other have used it. I’m crossing my fingers and hoping it works!! Just wanted to let you know you’re not alone on this pest journey!! Thanks fern💖🪴☮️
I had 3 plant utuber’s to come up today but I saved you for last because don’t we all save the best for last! I love everything about you Fern you are my fav❤❤
I can't thank you enough for the DE idea! I thought once it got wet it didn't work anymore even when dried. I've always just sprinkled it on the soil. In the last month I've had a fungus gnat outbreak (i think maybe my drops are no longer working...may be too old now or maybe they got too hot?), and thrips, and spider mites. I'm very familiar with thrips as I've had a pretty big outbreak before. But these snuck up on me on most of my monstera. And then most of my ficus got spider mites. Anyway, spraying DE looks so horrible, but it is working on EVERYTHING. I think I'm gonna leave it on for a few more weeks before washing everything and seeing what happens. Love your channel, you are so helpful...hard to find Canadians to follow (who don't have access to systemics 😜)!
Hi there. Thank you for your videos. Love spending mornings off work drinking my coffee and watching them. I had a lighting idea for you. I have done this and it's working great for my anthurium veitchii and my Thai con monstera. The new black cased Barrina bar lights are magnetic, so I just put it on the outside frame of my Rudsta cabinet facing out (no sticking pads at all, easiest thing ever) and its practically unnoticeable because it matches the cabinet. The light faces out so any plants next to the cabinet get excellent light from it. You can do this with your milsbo's.
One more video with fern 😍👌🏻 You're the best! ❤ Hope you are feeling great!
Thank you so much for your reply. I re-ordered another one and I'll be sure to get an aroid mix. Look forward watching your videos. I love to watch them before going to bed or when I'm on the train on my way to work. You're a great inspiration. ! 🪴
The DE looks like splash/freckles i love it lol 😅
Yes, please continue to update us with your beautiful collection throughout the winter. Morning Have a blessed 🪴 day.
Marisol
thank you 😊
absolutely loving the monthly plant walk throughs
So happy when you post a new video especially one like this 😍😍
YESSSSSSS THIS IS PERFECT TIMING!!!
🙌 yay enjoy!!!
Really enjoy your update videos and would like to see them continue monthly as the year progresses 🪴🪴
Another great video ! I just can't imagine how much work goes into making these videos to be perfectly honest with you. I super appreciate it. I can't wait to watch your videos all of them constantly being played at my house, but they work that must go into these it must be like hours and hours and hours, super appreciate the information. I think there should be a little bit more giggling. Lol
Your silver sword in the cabinet looks great! I just got up the courage to do a chop and extend on my silver sword last night. I’m so excited to see her continue sizing up. She still fairly juvenile leaves, but they are getting progressively bigger. I took single cuttings of the bottom part and made two little pots of silver sword. I’m so excited😊
Love your planty updates Fern; thanks for sharing!
I put DE on top of my soil in between waterings, it’s helped so much. Down side is it looks odd! But… 🤷♀️
I've been spraying my plants with citric acid solution. This spring I didn't even have too much pest problem... with a collection of over 4yo plants I had problem with less than 10 plants, and was not even bad. It haven't hurt my plants at all. I tried diatomaceous but I don't think it worked at all. I also use a stem cleaner on my plants to blow away dust. Don't worry, if you don't put the nozzle too close the steam is just warm at best. Plants love it. That blows all the pests already. I have way too many plants to use a hand spray. When I want to mist them with citric acid or hypochlorous acid I use a paint sprayer that I got just for it. Makes the job super fast.
ok XD sorry for spamming you so randomly through random old videos but i'm currently cleaning like my whole house just hanging out listening to your calm voice and love your clean incredibly cleaned house you're amazingly upkept i'm working on getting better at it true inspirations to look up to!
Hey Fern! I love your videos, you have so many beautiful plants!💕💕😊
awe hi thank you sooo much! 💚🌿
For your Thai Con light issue I had a similar issue and I use an IKEA hanging wire pendant light fixture with a powerful SANSI grow bulb. Everything under and near it couldn't be happier!
Your hoyas are so gorgeous! I’m struggling finding the right light situation for my Hoyas 😂 what direction does your big Hoya window face that you have all those hanging Hoya??
Always fun to watch your videos when I am working on the weekends! Thanks for the updates. :)
Thank you so much, glad to hear you enjoyed 😊
What a sweet collection!! 👌
Rhipsalis red coral is such a lovely plant - I have two and they’re beautifully sun stressed. The round things are the flowers I think
Love your update videos I look forward to them every month❤
you always upload at the perfect time
I’m sad about your adansonii! I look forward to the comeback! And that glorious 😍😍😍! Wowzers! Looking insanely beautiful!
I enjoy updates! Whenever it feels right to you.
I've had a couple mealies show up again on 2 of my Hoya. I think trying some diatomaceous earth, at least in the soil is worth a try. Thank you for that recommendation.
Chemical x is cool 🖤❤️🧡💛💚💙💜😎 I'm wearing pixiestix this week. 💚🤍💕. Ty Fern ✨🌿
Pests 🤕!!! I recently found aphids on my Maiden Hair fern. Though late winter, I have placed it outside in a sheltered spot to let mother nature do her thing. Love your Ping garden!!!
I feel you with the alocacia zabrina, I’ve had a similar experience with my alocacia azlanii, She is finally starting to hold onto a few leaves, but boy has it been a journey!
You can always wrap a warm washcloth around your leaf to help your stuck leaf unroll. It will get it unstuck but won't open it completely. I have to help my Monstera sometimes or the leaf will tear where it's stuck.
Always a nice time, thank you Fern
thank you for watching :)
Rhipsalis are my new favorites, they give such jungle vibes
I love the monthly updates! But honestly I will just watch any video you make LOL
thank youuuu 🥹💖
Thank you so much fern😂👍💯👋
I’ve really like the update video. It was fun to see the changes.
The round thing on your rhipsalis is a berry, you could take it off when it’s ready and try growing it from seed
😮
I would be excited to keep getting monthly updates through winter! Even if it’s just to commiserate about which plants are mad about it 😂
For the DE I’ve always just sprinkled a small layer on top of the soil or the stems. I’ve never had meely bugs tho, only spider mites. But maybe it’s worth a try because it’s never damaged any plants that way.
I just bought a vittsjo shelf and barrina lights yesterday ❤ safe to say you’ve inspired me
Ahhh so exciting! It's a great shelf :)
Thank you for your update. I am trying DE, also, but I just brush it on with a small paint brush. We will see what happens.....
Maybe if Barrina made a white floor light it would be less conspicuous.. your plants are doing well.. Mine have not grown as much this summer as previous. Not sure the reasons.. but my orchids are always doing something so that makes me happy.Thanks for the update. That berry on the red coral rhipsalis is seeds.. mine had a lot and I let them fall into pot and now my plant from CSN is huge and loving life
Awesome as always Fern!!! You rock❤
Thank you so much 🥹🌿
29:07 I think that’s a berry. I have a different Rhipsalis, and I get berries on that one too. They will produce seeds in the berries 😊
Love love love your update videos 😍😍😍
Thank you Natasha 🤗🌿
What a great way to start my saturday ❤
What a pretty bloom I’m waiting for another Hoya besides my multiflora to bloom.
Thank u for taking time to answer my question.
Hi Fern! What’s the update on your new Ghostbuster’s watering system? Do you like it or are you still taking your plants to the sink? I’d love to hear your thoughts. Ty
I love it! I ended up taking the nozzle off of it, so the water pours out rather than spraying. It works great and makes watering so much faster for me :) battery lasts long too.
Fern I finally took the plunge and ordered some of the mollys mix. I hope it works out well for me. I would love to know what the clear heavy hooks are you use in your cabinet. The smaller ones I have in mine won't hold my racks. Thanks for the beautiful and helpful video ♥
You’ve got such nice shaped leaves on your scindapsis and they are trailing. They are so big.
28:26 the jungle cacti should be fine! As long as the base touching the substrate doesn’t turn translucent and mushy, a plant like the red coral can pop roots from anywhere!
I love that begonia!!
the round bulb on the rhipsalis is what they bloom from! i couldn’t tell if it already bloomed but it might be getting ready to bloom!
The weird round thing on the red cactus rhipsalis is the seed pod. You'll get them all over eventually. If you squeeze them you will see the seeds.
hello fern I think that showing the plants in autumn and winter would be good to see the evolution I live in Belgium and watch all your videos even if I speak in French
I love your jewel orchid!😅❤
thank you! it's sooo pretty :)
We'll just…turn him back around 😂😂😂.
Easter cactus likes higher light..😊
Idk if you've shown it before but can we see a view of your hanging plant window from the outside? I know when I see mine it's so cute to me for some reason lol so I'd love to see yours.
Have you used systemic granules? That is one of the things that have helped me keep pests at bay.
I’ve got to repot my monstera. Not really repot but take out and straighten out the pole and extend before putting back. I the pot
I can't believe how faaasssttt your hair grows. Beautiful!
Also, I thought the diatomaceous earth was a powder? Are you mixing it with water? Ratio?
Thank you
Fern what is the name of that black begonia
woah begonia fanny moser looks amazing!
Such a beautiful place
I usually just sprinkle DE in the soil, never tried using it as a spray. Found a few spider mites on a couple plants. Might try that. However, what anthurium is next to your Thai Con??? 😍😍
Your collection is so pretty! I always find a new plant to put on my wish list after watching your videos! How do you decide to trellis a Hoya or let it trail?
Thank you! I decide on a variety of factors - what space I want to put the plant, sometimes I will look up photos of other peoples to see what they've done, just whatever I'm feeling haha :) Sometimes I switch them too, I've taken some off of the trellis and let them grow trailing to see what I prefer.
Your rhipsalis…the green round thing on the side is normal. It’s a bud! I’ve never seen them bloom so idk if they do or not. Only had mine for a year now. They develop all along the trim of every leaf. They are also beautiful plants when sunstressed! I have one that’s completely red and they’re beautiful that way. I have one, wish I could post a photo for you to see. The leaves grow long and strappy. Also, if you remove them from direct sunlight, the Sun stressing quickly fades away if you prefer it green 😊
Update videos are great 😀🇨🇦
I’m gonna use the cup system. I need to do something. And I’ve only got one to take care of
Oh my gosh Cadence. I love her so much 🥰
She’s such an angel 😇
I’d love to see another anthurium update/care video 🪴💫💕
great video! thanks💟
Pretty red rhipsalis. I think the green thing is a seed pod
I love the updates videos! I want to know what happen with you plants! Either good, bad or nothing.
I got an Easter cactus this past easter and was so excited. One of my coworkers had told me a few months prior that she had gotten an Easter cactus and didn’t think it was near as hardy as her Christmas cactus cuz hers ended up rotting and dying. So when I found my Easter cactus I was determined to show her it was probably just her. 😂😂😂😂 boy was I wrong. First plant I’ve killed in years. It was all me tho I can’t blame the plant. I forgot to water it and then after that it was down hill from there.
I feel this sooo hard spider mites have taken over and now I found mealies on some of my Hoyas 😂🥲🥲
How do you do the diatomaceous earth ?
Im painting the leaves with a paint brush. Then it doesn't have to be washed off. If i could shake it on or dust it somehow it would be faster application.
i do enjoy monthly updates.
Good morning. I absolutely love your plant collection. I just ordered my first Thai constellation Monstera. It only came with two young leaves. But after having it for two weeks it completely rotted. Do you have any suggestions on how to care for this plant. Thank you
Marisol 🪴
Thank you! A well draining, chunky potting mix and lots of light is best. I've re-rooted mine in perlite many times. I have a Thai Constellation playlist on my page if you'd like to follow along on the journey of mine :)
You should go for another cabinet - the rudsta is a great cabinet, i have two and a milsbo 🙈 haha
Eeeeep hahah 🙊 I may have to do it…
Wrap a piece of dampend paper towel around the leaf that is not unfurling, it's supposed to help them open up. Don't leave on for too long.
Do you have a variegated Thanksgiving cactus?? I had no idea 😮
Love this video as usual. What facing window are your Hoyas in? Trying to get mine to grow faster. Thank you.
They’re in a south window :) thank you for watching!!
Your pingdom looks lovely. The ones on the pumice may cover it one day.
Ilove longiloba silver, itssoo pretty 😍😌
Can you let us know how the DE works or if you've done it before so you know it does? I tried it a few months ago but i applied it differently your way seems much easier. i might try it again these spider mites are driving me crazy.
Maybe you already know but if you can afford it mother has now an extendable light available for preorder (discounted) if you wanna keep using that brand without the stand :)
