Hi Fern, sorry for the mealies infestation. You were so gracious about answering the personal questions and I think it was the right call addressing the rumours once and for all because they can become toxic. I do believe some people are genuine worried about you, and as long as your privacy and boundaries are respected all should be good😊 Edit: Love the song. Thank you
100% I understand that putting any aspect of your life online opens up a can of worms were people want to know more, think they are in some way owed information! Yes we can all be nosey at times but it's not our business! And some people really over step with the questions/theories!
I am so happy you played your intro song for us. I asked you the name of that song a while back and you answered me right away. You are such a special and kind person and that song makes me feel like you are going to be alright. You have a very bright future and have done so much for such a young person. Thank you for this video and for letting us into your home. It was just beautiful.
Fern!!!! You have really totally and completely come into your own with your channel. Your style of filming and editing always shows who you truly are. You’re so sweet and humble too. So we’ll spoken and very calming to watch. I’ve been here since wayyyy back in the day and I’ve seen your growth and I love it!! You should be very proud of yourself, because we sure are. 🌿💚🪴 and you playing the song during the video was perfect! Gave me goosebumps and everything🙂
Damn! Those personal questions were PERSONAL!! 😂. You handled yourself with grace ❤ I’m fascinated by the license people feel online. (Though it’s easy to understand how someone can assume you’re one of their besties! ) I recommend you videos all the time.
Truthful Fern: "... so I'm very proud of myself: I tend to get things and then, I'm like - I don't know - they just end up sitting for a while because I'm weird about using things right away... I like to hoard things, I guess". Ahhhh... your honesty is refreshing! Me too!!!! I've got plant lights, aquarium and vivarium goodies, pots and equipment all just crying out to be used, but I'm "not quite" ready yet. 🤷♂🙃🥰
Fern, the way you addressed the relationship questions was incredible! I felt it deeply 🩷 My boyfriend has ADHD and because of that our relationship is a little rocky sometimes as well but we always make it work in the end. Breakup doesn’t always have to be anyone’s fault and sometimes people forget that. Super refreshing to listen to your take and i’m happy that’s the case cause i’ve been curious and frankly a little worried for some time now 🌱 Also *your* mealies are especially nasty beasts…
Hi Fern 💫 Thank you so much for this Q&A video. I appreciate that you stand by your decision of privacy and rights on being vegan and we all love you regardless. 🙏🏻 Also, thank you to the person who asked about the song. I always listen through to the song because I love it so much. Stay you girl, you do you so well. 🙏🏻💫
I think the reason anyone may have had any thoughts on your relationship, is because you seemed so genuinely hurt when you guys broke up😢 ...we were all getting the posse together to drive across the country and take someone down for hurting you😂. I must admit, its a relief that isnt the issue. I am too old to be *throwing elbows* anyway. So happy for the stability you have found. Im such a fan, and Im loving all of your content on both channels. You are doing a great job 💯👍!!
Hahaha! Awww. Yeah, I totally understand. I was hurt, but not by any malicious intent. Break ups are just hard and we definitely butt heads a lot during that time. Thank you for all of your support and for watching 🌿🫶
Okay but why’d listening to the entire song of your outro literally make me emotional? LMAO anywayyy, I loved it. & I love every single one of your Q&A videos bc I feel like I get to know you a bit more each time 🥹 so so grateful for your channel dude. ILY 🫶🏽
Thank you so much Jen 🥺💚 and it made me emotional too LMAO that song always hits me in the feels, it feels so sentimental now since I’ve been using it for so long. Thank you for watching bestie x
Had to pause quickly to comment: I’ve been using the barrina grow lights for almost 2 years and they are… okay. They do bleach the plants quite a lot and some of my plants hate them. I’ll be looking to replace them soon for sure.
Root mealybugs and regular mealybugs are two different species. You have to do a soil drenches every 7-14 days for at least 5-6 weeks. In the US we use Azamax but I'm not sure if the Canadian equivalent or if you can get that there
Root mealies usually look more ‘streamlined’ and tend to stay in the soil. I’m wondering if it’s foliar ones hiding out in the soil? At any rate, the soil had to go!
OMG I croaked at the root mealies 😭 and you waving about the Wilbur graves for ten mins with mealies all over it 🤣 This was so relaxing and honest and just lovely. Good for you for keeping your private life private, gossiping is never good or productive so I understand why you addressed it but good for you for having strong boundaries 🥰 Hope you have a lovely day my friend x
Root mealies and regular mealies are different - root mealies are awful and sooooo hard to eradicate completely - re rooting and treating the stem is important cause they’ll spread like wild fire! DONT NOT WATER WITH THE USED WATER FROM OTHER PLANTS , that’s how they spread
@@brooklin_bernek that’s so interesting thank you. I do water with the run off 🙈 I’ve never had mealies or root mealies but just had my first bout with spider mites and I wanted to burn all my plants
Thank you so much for answering my question about the song😊 I even found it on TH-cam after you named it and the artist. I watch you, Alice and carmine all the time. Just a soon to be 66 widowed twice, a Grama of 13 mother of 4.... AND A PLANT ACHOLIC 🌱 I'm the proud parent of about 300 plants in my little house.
I find it rude when people keep asking about your relationship. I’m so sorry people think it’s okay to just ask those - because we wouldn’t ask someone that to their face when we see them in my opinion !!❤❤❤ I support you 100% always girlie
Thank you for being so open and honest about your relationship! It’s definitely no one’s business but it’s always nice hearing your story and seeing that working on yourself/your relationship is an ongoing process.
Plant those tall slender trees like Italian cypress. Put it along the fence line and they will grow taller than the fence. Give you more private. Like a privet fence.
So I’ve noticed the same thing with the barrina lights! I hadn’t really thought about other lights being different but they’re the only ones that I have that I’ve noticed some plants don’t like and will almost bleach if they’re too close.
I Personally dont think you need alot of knowledge to write a book. you could totally write a mini series in ebook format or something it would be amazing to follow and purchase. please consider it. If anyone could do it i think you could totally do it.
Food grade diatomaceous earth cures mealy bugs. Just get a small soft artist brush and paint them on the mealies. It really was a miracle cure for my string of pearls (which mealies love) and my cacti. Before I discovered DE, I had to throw out infested plants cause I was unable to fit them. Never had root mealies, but it should work on them, too.
Hi Fern, I’ve had my Barrinas for over 5 years and tbh most of my plants bleach under them on my Vittsjo. I’ve tried both light versions too. I’m considering getting different lights. Any suggestions? Besides Mother haha
Wow you total explained my unknown issue with barrina grow lights, thank you! I always wondered why it didn't matter so much for others and their grow light set-ups but distance with these is so important. I have the white lights and 3-6" seems to be the sweet spot
My advice for root mealies (currently have them too) take cuttings and ditch the original root ball. That's been my plan of action so far. I've had about 70 plants with them. All hoya and succulent types. Pretty sure it's cause I bottom watered them all after letting them get too dry during my move.
Maybe you’ve heard this before but I think I saw that you can also thoroughly wash your root ball with warm water up to about 50c for 30 seconds ish, you can also get rid of root mealies
If any of your plants have been losing leaves or turning yellow, they could also have mealies. I got them soooo bad because I didn’t know I had them and they went to a bunch of my plants. I had to cut all the roots off my plants and reroot. I did try a hot water dunk but did more damage to my plant
The dogs sleeping together, all cozy💫🐶😇 So happy for you and your man and the new house! I hope the guys next door are gentlemen even if loud! Sturdy fences make good neighbors!!! Everyone needs mechanic friends;) Totally understand keeping relationships private! Conquer the mealy bugs is the next video. I have a few outdoor plants with aphids and it just happened after keeping this plant for years. Had to chop it. Edit: loved the song! I have limited experience but alocasia seem to attract bugs more than others...... And yes, kids, don't get tats until 25 or even 30 if you think you want tattoos. Also, speaking from experience.
Ug girl root mealies killed off a lot of my plants a couple years ago. I found that the PERLITE i was using had mealies in the bag. So… i just got rid of the substrate, washed the entire plant and SCRUBBED the roots, and used clean substrate. I just got mealies again for the first time in ages so im at a point where im about to just bake all my substrate before i use it. Yeah definitely check the roots of the plants on that shelf and clean and wipe your surfaces and tools!
@@wildfern girlfriend im SO sorry!! I didnt mean to do that to you! But yes genuinely it was the perlite and of course they CAMOFLAGE. 🫥 Just double check your bagged substrates, especially if they’re open and things can blow in there and spread 😭
How do house plants 🌱 get the creepy things ? I’m such a plant virgin. I honestly thought you buy a plant and water it! Until I found your channel. Learning so much here with you Fern ☀️🎍 so Inspiring🌷
Unfortunately there is no such thing as a cruelty free diet unless you grow your food yourself. A picker just died in the field the other day and other pickers kept working around them. (Not trying to be a dampener, there’s a whole reality out there that gets ignored in the conversation)
I agree with you for sure! Laws are slowly gaining momentum in California to protect farm workers such as overtime pay which just went into effect this year. So much more needs to be done though.
@@berniea.3255 it’s a huge problem that gets swept under the rug. And since it’s mostly immigrants who do such jobs, no one wants to start anything because of the risk of being deported. The human exploitation in picking is just as bad as the farming is for the animals.
Doesn't mean that people shouldn't at least try to live a cruelty free lifestyle. By your logic you shouldn't own any electronics because they're often assembled by overworked and underpaid employees. I get that people who pick my food might be mistreated but that doesn't mean I'm gonna start eating animal products or using cosmetics tested on animals. I don't have the ability to grow my own food but I do have the ability to cut out meat.
@@fawn2911 never said you had to? But a woman dying in a carrot field and the other pickers being forced to carry on while her body lies there, like people need to know the cost of their food. It’s delusional to think eating purely vegetarian is 100% ethically flawless and is just unacceptable. You definitely read between the lines and added words that were not said. Not hard to find the angry vegan. 🤷🏽♀️ Also, most electronics are assembled by CHILDREN being paid pennies a day.
Hi Fern, you don't owe us any details of your relationship but thank you for sharing and the only truth that matters is your own. Anyway for those who have been here a long time will know that there was no negativity in your relationship even fron before. I hope you know that a lot of us are just happy for the both of you. 😍 Also happy for Olive and Cadence ❤
I saw Cadence in a vlog & tbh I was shocked. I was like omg did her ex give up his dog?! I was so confused, but honestly didn't want to ask. I am here for Fern 1st & plants 2nd. So, I didn't want to hurt feelings or anything... I just kept it to myself. Thank you for saying something, so that I as a viewer understood what was going on with her.
You handled all of the questions about your relationship with your boyfriend with such grace. I'm happy for you two and hope that it works out this time. You seem very happy and deserve to be happy! Also, I wish that I had the will and liked enough things other than meat to be vegan. I too love animals so so very much and hate how things are in the industries that produce meat and animal products. Kudos to you for doing you and standing for what you're passionate about! I just hatched out eggs from my friend's flock back in March of this year. They aren't laying eggs yet (not sure what's going on with them because typically they should have by now) but I love them so much! People don't realize the personality that is packed into those little fluffy butts! I love my roosters too! I joined a facebook group called Rooster Allies which is a group that encourages people to be patient with their roosters and embrace them. I have a couple who peck at my feet and legs when they want to be held (I know that's what they're doing because they don't peck me while I'm holding them, but if I put them down they peck again wanting to be held, lol). I'm going on like the crazy chicken lady that I've become, lol...but all that said, I think that you would love having rescue chickens. They're a great pet to have and very fun to watch. Loved the long video and hope the root mealies weren't too stressful and are eradicated!
I 100% agree with the last question/comment about your videos. I absolutely love your content and who you are, I happily watch all of every video no matter how long it is. Sending love ❤
This was a great listen for me today as I was pottering with my plants..personal life is called that..because its personal !..you do you and that suits me just right ❤❤
Fern I'm telling ya now, the Barrinas are def causing issues. I had them for a couple years and all of my plants did terrible under them long term. The color temp they put out is definitely below what plants prefer. Some of my plants didn't grow at all, but most would push out growth that would progressively get smaller, be a weird off yellow-green color, or deformed in some way. I switched to cheap, 6500K LED shop lights and my plants couldn't be happier. Every one of my Hoyas bloomed this year, and my Krimson Queen won't stop blooming lol. She has like 6 or 7 peduncles now, and she didn't have a single peduncle before I switched my lights this past January. The shop lights I got are similar in appearance and setup as Barrinas, but they're actually 6500K full spectrum lights.
I've found that I really don't like those cheaper barrina bars, but I love the larger T5 lights... although I do have to have some philodendrons farther from those so they don't bleach 🤷🏻♀️
Hey Fern, if those mealies were on the leaves too, then the ones in the pot were probably not root mealies but rather normal ones doing their disgusting little hiding-around-the-drainage-holes thing. So at least you're only dealing with one kind and not two. But since they were hiding in the pot, it was definitely worth going full noise and getting rid of it all!
YAAAASSSS🙌 just in time for the drive home from work!!!! I’ll have your videos play to and from work, on my quick lunch breaks and of course in my relax time at home You are the best Fern 💚🌿 I appreciate you 🫶🏼
I love your content! I totally feel the same way about peace and quiet in my downtime from life stress. Relationships thrive the best when you don't involve everyone's opinions. Life is hard enough without extra drama. 💚💚
Now that you have that Odora in water, when you’re ready to pot it up I’d put it in Pon! You’ve already done most of the work! Root mealies are the worst. I lost a full pot of string of dolphins to them.
I was sweating waiting for you to notice the mealybugs on that plant! 🤣😅 I briefly wondered about the boyf when I saw Cadence again, but like many people have said, you don't owe any of us an explantion! People love to imagine drama 🙃It was lovely to hear/see him in the background pottering about though 😆
Just FYI about your neighbour's and the fence. The law is only 6 ft for your fence but there's no max height of trees. So you can plant a tree fence and that can grow as tall as you desire! It is obviously more maintenence but also more privacy!
I have been thinking this!! We have some tall, fast growing trees at the back of the yard that the previous owner planted. I always joke that I wish she had put them along the side instead 😂 I definitely need to look into getting some planted there, perhaps after the fence is installed 🌲
I agree with the last comment/question so much I’d watch a 20 minute video or a 2 hour video. I just enjoy hanging out with you. And you absolutely do need to explain your personal relationship with us. I’m here cause you’re real and you’re collection is normal. There’s ups and downs and not everything is perfect. Social media has everyone thinking life and everything in it should be picture perfect and it’s not. So thank you for sharing as always 😘
Fern, just be true to yourself. Our relationships are such precious gifts. Keep it all for yourself and share what makes you happy 💟and as for you doing a book.. you don't think your that knowledgeable but maybe a book on planty stories, escapades, memories attached to plants.. just stories. I would love that. Kisses to Olive 💚🐶
Fern, I too am disgusted with mealy bugs and have been killing them tiny marshmallows with legs for weeks now. But the truly disturbed look on your face was priceless and had me chuckling even knowing I would've screamed like a little bish and ran 😂
Oh I'm so happy to hear that Cadence is doing better. She is a gorgeous sweet girl. That would be a good idea to add a fence, the view next door is unappealing and knowing you have a bunch of young guys renting the place, I would certainly do the same thing. Your house is so cozy and I love your windows. It's just about finding that sweet spot for the plants. Take care of yourself 😊and don't over do it.
Fern- after listening to that song & you talking about it- you should really listen to "More Than This" by Roxy Music (the whole Avalon album) or "Love is The Drug." You might like it. Keep up the great work! 👍
Fern I’m so sad how that question is worded - I feel like it was very passive aggressive and that person knew what they asked… and I am here to stay don’t be rude . I wouldn’t call it any chances for him. I would call it fern and her S/O giving themselves a chance again because they have both grown up and worked on THEMSELVES for such a long time - this is not fair that people are making him to be a bad guy! I’m so proud of you fern, you have grew soooooooo dramatically and I am just sooo happy for you guys! I’m rooting for you , always ❤❤❤❤❤
It’s great to see you happy, i’m so happy for you! You don’t need to feel like you have to inform us, i think and hope we all can understand and respect your need of privacy. Happy to see your other dog again, such a cutie
I’ve got the tiny version of that disco planter, I’ve got a baby rhipsalis in it looking like spider legs coming out and hanging down, guess I’ll always have to have a baby trailer for it lol You find root mealies… I go into panick mode… sigh… empathy is a pain in the patukus… What about a diluted alcohol spray for the roots? The alcohol on a qtip works for the leaf mealies right? I’m still learning I dunno, I’d be checking roots of everything around it We had to move (extenuating circumstances) from a dream spot up a mountain to right next to our busy highway a year ago… HATE IT, we’re looking for a new place in the spring, I love my quiet and chill space too. Plus a yard that isn’t all stone crush would be nice, and more windows
I don’t really know much about your relationship bc I have only been following you for around a year or so, but I have been with my husband for 12 years and I feel you so deeply on the “gotta work on it” stuff. My husband and I both have emotional baggage from our upbringings that we have had to reconcile with in terms of us as people and for our relationship, and it has been HARD. We’ve both changed and grown a lot and we are still always changing and growing, and it’s actually really nice to look back and see how far we have come =) so I hope you and your partner are able to do the same. My neighbors are actually almost all elderly and it is FR the best. The only down side is that our next-door neighbor on one side is best friends with our former homeowner and when the former homeowner visits she comes to the property line and snoops, lol. Old people are so fking noseyyyyy!!! lol. But they are great anyway. I have a veggie garden in the summer and I grow extra veggies for the neighbors bc they are in their 80s and can’t do it for themselves. It’s awesome bc it is nice and quiet. We have one neighbor with two daughters and they can be kinda loud during the summer (cuz they are like 6 and 4) but it’s cute to watch them play with their friends and my dogs loooooove them, so it’s great. Sorry you were a nurse during covid I bet that was terrifying. So many nurses left bc of the pandemic and their mental health. We have a friend who worked in the ICU that had a mental breakdown during covid, I felt so bad for him. He is doing better now. You gotta do what you gotta do for your mental health. Good for you getting out of that =)
Ugh, I hope I didn’t give too much extra life to that “cheater” comment (that was deleted). I don’t normally respond to other comments on here, but this one pissed me off. I should know by now not to engage, but it’s a huge pet peeve of mine, when someone makes an off handed, rude comment with absolutely no basis in reality. It’s so destructive, unnecessary, and callous, and it just gets under my skin. 😡Anyway, I just wanted to add that I bought my first condo with my then boyfriend, and we had it 6 months before we spontaneously decided to get married. Our priority was having a permanent place to call our own, and when the opportunity arose, we leapt at the chance, and never looked back. Sometimes you’ve got to weigh the risk vs reward, and there’s far more reward in having your own home than worrying about what ifs that may not ever happen, right? Your house seems perfect for you, and it’s really nice to get to see these little slices of your life - oh, and I’m so sorry you got a nasty mealybug surprise - they are just so gross! 😑 I love your cozy content and green lush vibes. 💚
Fern, I would dearly love to reach out to you. Every now and then, I see something which reminds me of you. I would like to send you something. I have enjoyed watching you through the years and love everything ❤️ you share. I'm always waiting on the next video.
I know HoA (Homeowners Association) are not very well liked, but there is something to be said for living in a very quiet neighborhood. For that, I am more than grateful for my HoA. They do have some silly rules, but I value my peace and quiet above all else.
I love your videos. I'm watching as a non plant person who is intrigued to start BUT...your discoveries of the pests has me totally reconsidering! I'm not good with htses things. I do admire your coping with all of that; very impressive!
I'm drooling over your Wilbur Graves!!! 🤤❤ I've had one for a year now and it's only given me 1 (very beautiful) new leaf! I don't know what I'm doing wrong 🤷
Aw, I miss my first house. Small little two bedroom in a small town. It was so easy to clean! I had repotted neighbors that built a greenhouse in their backyard-- it was fancy. My other neighbors were elderly as well. I lived in a busy road, so it wasn't quiet, but I feel you on the 20 year olds. I've done that too. I'm impressed that one of them has a side hustle. 😆
Also, a while back you told us about your cookbooks. Can you like tell us your favorites? I do eat chicken & beef, but would like to try more veggies. I think that would be a good way. Heck, might even turn a new leaf. Gave up pork 15 years ago.... So for health and to save money on meat it could be a way to go. I think politics, religion, & what people eat are things that are better not to talk about too. Food wise: As long as no one is a cannibal or possibly eating a species to extinction... It's no one's right to have a say in what diet or food lifestyle people follow. Thanks, for sharing how you eat and cook with us on vlogs. It has sparked an interest on my end.
If you want to check out a very good tea, it's a Japanese sencha called super sencha, green tea. Sounds corny but a good quality sencha. Another is moringa.
Thank you for this! Every relationship is different and some have lots of bumps from growing up and growing together. My husband and I dated on and off for 4 ½ years before we married...24 years ago. There's a lot to be said for surviving the struggle ❤️
We bought our first house shortly after we were married in 1969, and we were always very much together. After coming up to being married for almost 56 yrs, you really get to know each other. One person will say the exact same thing the other started to say, you know what each other is thinking, literally. It's quite the ride. But people give up way too easy these days, to us, our marriage vows really did mean a lot, we've gone through thick and thing, every couple does. But never even enough to spilt up. Or even think about it.
I did horticulture in the interior of BC and my diploma contained very little science. Well, it did but honestly it was very easy. I'm not a science brain either. I was all about english, art, and history. Science was not, and still it not, my forte. If it's something you're interested in, it's worth looking into from a pure interest point of view. I will say that it's a very poorly paid industry in general, especially in the interior. I would imagine the lower mainland has more to offer and I can't say about Vancouver Island.
So in other words you’re both just a normal couple trying to navigate a relationship like anyone else. I know the struggle is real not just for you but a lot of people if truth be told. Like I told my granddaughter that is in a new relationship some days you can’t live without them and some days you just wish they would go away to put it mildly. I struggle with anxiety and depression and my husband and family have managed to put up with me for 50 years. Love your channel keep up the great content 😊
What a great video 🎉 I've been battling mealies on my ver compacta for years lol but i dont have a lot of plants so i can deal with taking time to treat it
I don’t want this to come across as a dig at veganism at all or you! But if you don’t consume the eggs will you just throw them away? Or implement them in other areas of your life like possible fertilizer for your garden?
I've just made my first wire moss pole as I had similar issues with plastic mesh ones. Just be careful with your hands! Kept catching myself on sharp edges

Hi Fern, sorry for the mealies infestation.
You were so gracious about answering the personal questions and I think it was the right call addressing the rumours once and for all because they can become toxic. I do believe some people are genuine worried about you, and as long as your privacy and boundaries are respected all should be good😊
Edit: Love the song. Thank you
Fern❤ You don’t owe any of us any info on your relationship. Share what you want. All the support 🥰
Thank you 💚💚
Exactly!! It’s no one else’s business!
Your guy neighbors will probably have moved by summer.
100% I understand that putting any aspect of your life online opens up a can of worms were people want to know more, think they are in some way owed information! Yes we can all be nosey at times but it's not our business! And some people really over step with the questions/theories!
Came here to say this!!!
Not me thinking you were SHOCKED with your variegated alocasia because it had corms, but it turned out to be root mealies 😭😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes, same 😂
Same 😂❤
Same! was like OH when she said it was root mealies 🤣😅😭😱
I am so happy you played your intro song for us. I asked you the name of that song a while back and you answered me right away. You are such a special and kind person and that song makes me feel like you are going to be alright. You have a very bright future and have done so much for such a young person. Thank you for this video and for letting us into your home. It was just beautiful.
I don't blame you for keeping your personal life private. You don't have to explain anything. I'm glad you're happy. 😊
Fern you are so genuine and cool. Your videos feel like actually catching up with a friend ❤
Thank you Jennifer 🥺🌿
Fern!!!! You have really totally and completely come into your own with your channel. Your style of filming and editing always shows who you truly are. You’re so sweet and humble too.

I've got plant lights, aquarium and vivarium goodies, pots and equipment all just crying out to be used, but I'm "not quite" ready yet. 🤷♂🙃🥰
Thank you for answering our questions, battling the sun, and playing THE song 🥰
Your channel is such a delight 🙏🏽🥹🫰🏽❤️
Fern, the way you addressed the relationship questions was incredible!

I hope you guys have many, many more days with Kaydence 🥺💓 She’s such a sweet girl 🫶
Thank you Natasha 🥹💚🐶
Hi Fern 💫 Thank you so much for this Q&A video. I appreciate that you stand by your decision of privacy and rights on being vegan and we all love you regardless. 🙏🏻 Also, thank you to the person who asked about the song. I always listen through to the song because I love it so much. Stay you girl, you do you so well. 🙏🏻💫
The pups sleeping next to each other is so cute! I miss my cats so much, but every moment you get to have with them is worth it ❤
I love that you found a root mealie infestation while recording! 😅 Love your channel, totally understand keeping things to yourself. ♥️
Fern I have to agree with you concerning the Barina lights. But I like you, am fairly new to them so we both will see!
I think the reason anyone may have had any thoughts on your relationship, is because you seemed so genuinely hurt when you guys broke up😢 ...we were all getting the posse together to drive across the country and take someone down for hurting you😂. I must admit, its a relief that isnt the issue. I am too old to be *throwing elbows* anyway. So happy for the stability you have found. Im such a fan, and Im loving all of your content on both channels. You are doing a great job 💯👍!!
Hahaha! Awww. Yeah, I totally understand. I was hurt, but not by any malicious intent. Break ups are just hard and we definitely butt heads a lot during that time. Thank you for all of your support and for watching 🌿🫶
Okay but why’d listening to the entire song of your outro literally make me emotional? LMAO anywayyy, I loved it. & I love every single one of your Q&A videos bc I feel like I get to know you a bit more each time 🥹 so so grateful for your channel dude. ILY 🫶🏽
Thank you so much Jen 🥺💚 and it made me emotional too LMAO that song always hits me in the feels, it feels so sentimental now since I’ve been using it for so long. Thank you for watching bestie x
Had to pause quickly to comment: I’ve been using the barrina grow lights for almost 2 years and they are… okay. They do bleach the plants quite a lot and some of my plants hate them. I’ll be looking to replace them soon for sure.
Horticultural Therapy could combine your nursing experience with your love of gardening.
You're the best plant lady and the sweetest. And somehow you know how to combine both to make everyone so interested. Love watching your videos. 😊
Root mealybugs and regular mealybugs are two different species. You have to do a soil drenches every 7-14 days for at least 5-6 weeks. In the US we use Azamax but I'm not sure if the Canadian equivalent or if you can get that there
I was wondering if they were different species! Thank you so much for sharing that info.
Root mealies usually look more ‘streamlined’ and tend to stay in the soil. I’m wondering if it’s foliar ones hiding out in the soil? At any rate, the soil had to go!
LOVED hearing the full song!!!!!!!!! That was awesome!!!🎵🖤🎵 p.s. resonate with vegan for the animals💜💜💜
Oh my gosh the Hoya Wilbur Graves is my #1 Hoya wish list plant! That cover pot you put it in is so pretty 💚💚💚
OMG I croaked at the root mealies 😭 and you waving about the Wilbur graves for ten mins with mealies all over it 🤣
This was so relaxing and honest and just lovely.
Good for you for keeping your private life private, gossiping is never good or productive so I understand why you addressed it but good for you for having strong boundaries 🥰
Hope you have a lovely day my friend x
Root mealies and regular mealies are different - root mealies are awful and sooooo hard to eradicate completely - re rooting and treating the stem is important cause they’ll spread like wild fire! DONT NOT WATER WITH THE USED WATER FROM OTHER PLANTS , that’s how they spread
@@brooklin_bernek that’s so interesting thank you. I do water with the run off 🙈 I’ve never had mealies or root mealies but just had my first bout with spider mites and I wanted to burn all my plants
Thank you so much for answering my question about the song😊
I even found it on TH-cam after you named it and the artist. I watch you, Alice and carmine all the time. Just a soon to be 66 widowed twice, a Grama of 13 mother of 4.... AND A PLANT ACHOLIC 🌱 I'm the proud parent of about 300 plants in my little house.
I find it rude when people keep asking about your relationship. I’m so sorry people think it’s okay to just ask those - because we wouldn’t ask someone that to their face when we see them in my opinion !!❤❤❤ I support you 100% always girlie
I agree it’s rude but people absolutely do it to people in person. It’s very weird !
Thank you for being so open and honest about your relationship! It’s definitely no one’s business but it’s always nice hearing your story and seeing that working on yourself/your relationship is an ongoing process.
Yesss perfect timing! 🥰
I was just about to start some planty chores, so I have something to watch now!! 🥰🪴👌🏼
Q&A’s are always so much fun!! ☺️
💚💚💚 enjoyyy! and me too, starting the planty chores soon.
Plant those tall slender trees like Italian cypress. Put it along the fence line and they will grow taller than the fence. Give you more private. Like a privet fence.
So I’ve noticed the same thing with the barrina lights! I hadn’t really thought about other lights being different but they’re the only ones that I have that I’ve noticed some plants don’t like and will almost bleach if they’re too close.
I Personally dont think you need alot of knowledge to write a book. you could totally write a mini series in ebook format or something it would be amazing to follow and purchase. please consider it. If anyone could do it i think you could totally do it.
Yay Fern!! I’m doing plant chores now, perfect timing!
Food grade diatomaceous earth cures mealy bugs. Just get a small soft artist brush and paint them on the mealies. It really was a miracle cure for my string of pearls (which mealies love) and my cacti. Before I discovered DE, I had to throw out infested plants cause I was unable to fit them. Never had root mealies, but it should work on them, too.
I have some and I’m going to use it!! Really curious to how it will go 🤞
Fern i love your chill videos like these. Theyre so relaxing. I play them over and over in the background while i do plant chores. So fun
Hi Fern,
I’ve had my Barrinas for over 5 years and tbh most of my plants bleach under them on my Vittsjo. I’ve tried both light versions too. I’m considering getting different lights. Any suggestions? Besides Mother haha
Wow you total explained my unknown issue with barrina grow lights, thank you! I always wondered why it didn't matter so much for others and their grow light set-ups but distance with these is so important. I have the white lights and 3-6" seems to be the sweet spot
My advice for root mealies (currently have them too) take cuttings and ditch the original root ball. That's been my plan of action so far. I've had about 70 plants with them. All hoya and succulent types. Pretty sure it's cause I bottom watered them all after letting them get too dry during my move.
I’m definitely going to do that for any more than I may find! Ugh what a nightmare 😩
Maybe you’ve heard this before but I think I saw that you can also thoroughly wash your root ball with warm water up to about 50c for 30 seconds ish, you can also get rid of root mealies
Yes, I saw that!
I was just taking a quick break from doing some plant care, what amazing timing! Going to keep this on in the background ☺
happy to keep you company!! I'm going to start some plant care soon myself 🌿
long video!! yay! you're absolutely slaying the turtle neck!
ahh thank youuuu :) you're too kind
If any of your plants have been losing leaves or turning yellow, they could also have mealies. I got them soooo bad because I didn’t know I had them and they went to a bunch of my plants. I had to cut all the roots off my plants and reroot. I did try a hot water dunk but did more damage to my plant
I think you can get a height extension to like 11 feet for the Forest!
The dogs sleeping together, all cozy💫🐶😇
So happy for you and your man and the new house! I hope the guys next door are gentlemen even if loud! Sturdy fences make good neighbors!!! Everyone needs mechanic friends;)
Totally understand keeping relationships private!
Conquer the mealy bugs is the next video. I have a few outdoor plants with aphids and it just happened after keeping this plant for years. Had to chop it.
Edit: loved the song!
I have limited experience but alocasia seem to attract bugs more than others......
And yes, kids, don't get tats until 25 or even 30 if you think you want tattoos. Also, speaking from experience.
Ug girl root mealies killed off a lot of my plants a couple years ago. I found that the PERLITE i was using had mealies in the bag. So… i just got rid of the substrate, washed the entire plant and SCRUBBED the roots, and used clean substrate. I just got mealies again for the first time in ages so im at a point where im about to just bake all my substrate before i use it.
Yeah definitely check the roots of the plants on that shelf and clean and wipe your surfaces and tools!
Omg in the perlite!!! New fear unlocked 🔓
@@wildfern girlfriend im SO sorry!! I didnt mean to do that to you! But yes genuinely it was the perlite and of course they CAMOFLAGE. 🫥
Just double check your bagged substrates, especially if they’re open and things can blow in there and spread 😭
I bake my substrate too! I don’t risk it. 450 for 10 mins lol. I basically cook it
How do house plants 🌱 get the creepy things ? I’m such a plant virgin. I honestly thought you buy a plant and water it! Until I found your channel. Learning so much here with you Fern ☀️🎍 so Inspiring🌷
Unfortunately there is no such thing as a cruelty free diet unless you grow your food yourself. A picker just died in the field the other day and other pickers kept working around them. (Not trying to be a dampener, there’s a whole reality out there that gets ignored in the conversation)
I agree with you for sure! Laws are slowly gaining momentum in California to protect farm workers such as overtime pay which just went into effect this year. So much more needs to be done though.
@@berniea.3255 it’s a huge problem that gets swept under the rug. And since it’s mostly immigrants who do such jobs, no one wants to start anything because of the risk of being deported. The human exploitation in picking is just as bad as the farming is for the animals.
Doesn't mean that people shouldn't at least try to live a cruelty free lifestyle. By your logic you shouldn't own any electronics because they're often assembled by overworked and underpaid employees. I get that people who pick my food might be mistreated but that doesn't mean I'm gonna start eating animal products or using cosmetics tested on animals. I don't have the ability to grow my own food but I do have the ability to cut out meat.
@@fawn2911 never said you had to? But a woman dying in a carrot field and the other pickers being forced to carry on while her body lies there, like people need to know the cost of their food. It’s delusional to think eating purely vegetarian is 100% ethically flawless and is just unacceptable.
You definitely read between the lines and added words that were not said. Not hard to find the angry vegan. 🤷🏽♀️
Also, most electronics are assembled by CHILDREN being paid pennies a day.
Hi Fern, you don't owe us any details of your relationship but thank you for sharing and the only truth that matters is your own. Anyway for those who have been here a long time will know that there was no negativity in your relationship even fron before. I hope you know that a lot of us are just happy for the both of you. 😍 Also happy for Olive and Cadence ❤
I love your answers about veganism. I have been vegan for 6 years and I feel exactly the same way! 🥰
I saw Cadence in a vlog & tbh I was shocked. I was like omg did her ex give up his dog?! I was so confused, but honestly didn't want to ask. I am here for Fern 1st & plants 2nd. So, I didn't want to hurt feelings or anything... I just kept it to myself. Thank you for saying something, so that I as a viewer understood what was going on with her.
You handled all of the questions about your relationship with your boyfriend with such grace. I'm happy for you two and hope that it works out this time. You seem very happy and deserve to be happy!
Also, I wish that I had the will and liked enough things other than meat to be vegan. I too love animals so so very much and hate how things are in the industries that produce meat and animal products. Kudos to you for doing you and standing for what you're passionate about! I just hatched out eggs from my friend's flock back in March of this year. They aren't laying eggs yet (not sure what's going on with them because typically they should have by now) but I love them so much! People don't realize the personality that is packed into those little fluffy butts! I love my roosters too! I joined a facebook group called Rooster Allies which is a group that encourages people to be patient with their roosters and embrace them. I have a couple who peck at my feet and legs when they want to be held (I know that's what they're doing because they don't peck me while I'm holding them, but if I put them down they peck again wanting to be held, lol). I'm going on like the crazy chicken lady that I've become, lol...but all that said, I think that you would love having rescue chickens. They're a great pet to have and very fun to watch.
Loved the long video and hope the root mealies weren't too stressful and are eradicated!
I 100% agree with the last question/comment about your videos. I absolutely love your content and who you are, I happily watch all of every video no matter how long it is. Sending love ❤
This was a great listen for me today as I was pottering with my plants..personal life is called that..because its personal !..you do you and that suits me just right ❤❤
I just bought an asparagus fern at Lowe’s for $6! I was so excited when I found it tucked in the back
I love that you added the full song in the video! I've always wanted to listen to the whole thing but would always forget. Thank you! 💜
Fern I'm telling ya now, the Barrinas are def causing issues. I had them for a couple years and all of my plants did terrible under them long term. The color temp they put out is definitely below what plants prefer. Some of my plants didn't grow at all, but most would push out growth that would progressively get smaller, be a weird off yellow-green color, or deformed in some way. I switched to cheap, 6500K LED shop lights and my plants couldn't be happier. Every one of my Hoyas bloomed this year, and my Krimson Queen won't stop blooming lol. She has like 6 or 7 peduncles now, and she didn't have a single peduncle before I switched my lights this past January. The shop lights I got are similar in appearance and setup as Barrinas, but they're actually 6500K full spectrum lights.
I wish I knew this before buying them 🥲 what brand are the ones you got?
That’s unfortunate. I’ve been using them for 3-4 years now and my plants have been doing amazing. Never no issues. Maybe y’all got the defective batch
@@anya.hazeljdon’t worry.. that person’s experience may not be yours. Don’t waste your money. Try it out for yourself first
I've found that I really don't like those cheaper barrina bars, but I love the larger T5 lights... although I do have to have some philodendrons farther from those so they don't bleach 🤷🏻♀️
@@laurenervin1404 agreed. T5’s are the best
Hey Fern, if those mealies were on the leaves too, then the ones in the pot were probably not root mealies but rather normal ones doing their disgusting little hiding-around-the-drainage-holes thing. So at least you're only dealing with one kind and not two. But since they were hiding in the pot, it was definitely worth going full noise and getting rid of it all!
YAAAASSSS🙌 just in time for the drive home from work!!!!
I’ll have your videos play to and from work, on my quick lunch breaks and of course in my relax time at home
You are the best Fern 💚🌿 I appreciate you 🫶🏼
Thank you sooo much 🥹💚
I love your content! I totally feel the same way about peace and quiet in my downtime from life stress. Relationships thrive the best when you don't involve everyone's opinions. Life is hard enough without extra drama. 💚💚
Now that you have that Odora in water, when you’re ready to pot it up I’d put it in Pon! You’ve already done most of the work! Root mealies are the worst. I lost a full pot of string of dolphins to them.
I was sweating waiting for you to notice the mealybugs on that plant! 🤣😅
I briefly wondered about the boyf when I saw Cadence again, but like many people have said, you don't owe any of us an explantion! People love to imagine drama 🙃It was lovely to hear/see him in the background pottering about though 😆
Your lipstick plant is absolutely gorgeous!! ❤❤ I love your videos so much. I hope you have an amazing Thanksgiving Beautiful Lady!
Just FYI about your neighbour's and the fence. The law is only 6 ft for your fence but there's no max height of trees. So you can plant a tree fence and that can grow as tall as you desire! It is obviously more maintenence but also more privacy!
I have been thinking this!! We have some tall, fast growing trees at the back of the yard that the previous owner planted. I always joke that I wish she had put them along the side instead 😂 I definitely need to look into getting some planted there, perhaps after the fence is installed 🌲
I agree with the last comment/question so much I’d watch a 20 minute video or a 2 hour video. I just enjoy hanging out with you. And you absolutely do need to explain your personal relationship with us. I’m here cause you’re real and you’re collection is normal. There’s ups and downs and not everything is perfect. Social media has everyone thinking life and everything in it should be picture perfect and it’s not. So thank you for sharing as always 😘
Fern, just be true to yourself. Our relationships are such precious gifts. Keep it all for yourself and share what makes you happy 💟and as for you doing a book.. you don't think your that knowledgeable but maybe a book on planty stories, escapades, memories attached to plants.. just stories. I would love that. Kisses to Olive 💚🐶
31:10 I’ve heard that root mealies are just normal mealies. Apparently they start in the soil! And make their way up to the plant! 🤦🏻♀️
Fern, I too am disgusted with mealy bugs and have been killing them tiny marshmallows with legs for weeks now. But the truly disturbed look on your face was priceless and had me chuckling even knowing I would've screamed like a little bish and ran 😂
Oh I'm so happy to hear that Cadence is doing better. She is a gorgeous sweet girl. That would be a good idea to add a fence, the view next door is unappealing and knowing you have a bunch of young guys renting the place, I would certainly do the same thing. Your house is so cozy and I love your windows. It's just about finding that sweet spot for the plants. Take care of yourself 😊and don't over do it.
9 and a half vehicles!😂 Not half of a vehicle! 😱😅
Fern- after listening to that song & you talking about it- you should really listen to "More Than This" by Roxy Music (the whole Avalon album) or "Love is The Drug." You might like it.
Keep up the great work! 👍
I just love watching your videos! Youre inspiring!!!! 🖤🖤🖤
Thank you Heather 🥺💚
Have you tried Garden Safe houseplant bug spray, it is Organic, one spray always works for me.....😊
Nice!!! I just got home from work!!! What a treat to see you just posted a new video 😊💚
Enjoy!!
Fern I’m so sad how that question is worded - I feel like it was very passive aggressive and that person knew what they asked… and I am here to stay don’t be rude . I wouldn’t call it any chances for him. I would call it fern and her S/O giving themselves a chance again because they have both grown up and worked on THEMSELVES for such a long time - this is not fair that people are making him to be a bad guy! I’m so proud of you fern, you have grew soooooooo dramatically and I am just sooo happy for you guys! I’m rooting for you , always ❤❤❤❤❤
It’s great to see you happy, i’m so happy for you! You don’t need to feel like you have to inform us, i think and hope we all can understand and respect your need of privacy. Happy to see your other dog again, such a cutie
I’ve got the tiny version of that disco planter, I’ve got a baby rhipsalis in it looking like spider legs coming out and hanging down, guess I’ll always have to have a baby trailer for it lol
You find root mealies… I go into panick mode… sigh… empathy is a pain in the patukus…
What about a diluted alcohol spray for the roots? The alcohol on a qtip works for the leaf mealies right? I’m still learning I dunno, I’d be checking roots of everything around it
We had to move (extenuating circumstances) from a dream spot up a mountain to right next to our busy highway a year ago… HATE IT, we’re looking for a new place in the spring, I love my quiet and chill space too. Plus a yard that isn’t all stone crush would be nice, and more windows
I think you should stop taking personal questions. Some people!!!!!!! Just keep on being your lovely self.
I don’t really know much about your relationship bc I have only been following you for around a year or so, but I have been with my husband for 12 years and I feel you so deeply on the “gotta work on it” stuff. My husband and I both have emotional baggage from our upbringings that we have had to reconcile with in terms of us as people and for our relationship, and it has been HARD. We’ve both changed and grown a lot and we are still always changing and growing, and it’s actually really nice to look back and see how far we have come =) so I hope you and your partner are able to do the same.
My neighbors are actually almost all elderly and it is FR the best. The only down side is that our next-door neighbor on one side is best friends with our former homeowner and when the former homeowner visits she comes to the property line and snoops, lol. Old people are so fking noseyyyyy!!! lol. But they are great anyway. I have a veggie garden in the summer and I grow extra veggies for the neighbors bc they are in their 80s and can’t do it for themselves. It’s awesome bc it is nice and quiet. We have one neighbor with two daughters and they can be kinda loud during the summer (cuz they are like 6 and 4) but it’s cute to watch them play with their friends and my dogs loooooove them, so it’s great.
Sorry you were a nurse during covid I bet that was terrifying. So many nurses left bc of the pandemic and their mental health. We have a friend who worked in the ICU that had a mental breakdown during covid, I felt so bad for him. He is doing better now. You gotta do what you gotta do for your mental health. Good for you getting out of that =)
Ugh, I hope I didn’t give too much extra life to that “cheater” comment (that was deleted). I don’t normally respond to other comments on here, but this one pissed me off. I should know by now not to engage, but it’s a huge pet peeve of mine, when someone makes an off handed, rude comment with absolutely no basis in reality. It’s so destructive, unnecessary, and callous,
and it just gets under my skin. 😡Anyway, I just wanted to add that I bought my first condo with my then boyfriend, and we had it 6 months before we spontaneously decided to get married. Our priority was having a permanent place to call our own, and when the opportunity arose, we leapt at the chance, and never looked back. Sometimes you’ve got to weigh the risk vs reward, and there’s far more reward in having your own home than worrying about what ifs that may not ever happen, right? Your house seems perfect for you, and it’s really nice to get to see these little slices of your life - oh, and I’m so sorry you got a nasty mealybug surprise - they are just so gross! 😑 I love your cozy content and green lush vibes. 💚
And you can't be putting your scooper on the matt an touching your infeated plant then back in your soi. Bin..... wash your hands...omg 😊
Fern, I would dearly love to reach out to you. Every now and then, I see something which reminds me of you. I would like to send you something. I have enjoyed watching you through the years and love everything ❤️ you share. I'm always waiting on the next video.
That Thai pink lipstick plant foliage is stunning 🤩
I know HoA (Homeowners Association) are not very well liked, but there is something to be said for living in a very quiet neighborhood. For that, I am more than grateful for my HoA. They do have some silly rules, but I value my peace and quiet above all else.
Hi Fern, where did you get the cute orange\pink and white pot from? I couldn’t catch that anywhere. Thanks!!
I love your videos. I'm watching as a non plant person who is intrigued to start BUT...your discoveries of the pests has me totally reconsidering! I'm not good with htses things. I do admire your coping with all of that; very impressive!
I’m so proud of you and love the peace you provide for others ❤️ make sure to keep making time for yourself!!
I'm drooling over your Wilbur Graves!!! 🤤❤ I've had one for a year now and it's only given me 1 (very beautiful) new leaf! I don't know what I'm doing wrong 🤷
Aw, I miss my first house. Small little two bedroom in a small town. It was so easy to clean! I had repotted neighbors that built a greenhouse in their backyard-- it was fancy. My other neighbors were elderly as well. I lived in a busy road, so it wasn't quiet, but I feel you on the 20 year olds. I've done that too. I'm impressed that one of them has a side hustle. 😆
Also, a while back you told us about your cookbooks. Can you like tell us your favorites? I do eat chicken & beef, but would like to try more veggies. I think that would be a good way. Heck, might even turn a new leaf. Gave up pork 15 years ago.... So for health and to save money on meat it could be a way to go.
I think politics, religion, & what people eat are things that are better not to talk about too.
Food wise: As long as no one is a cannibal or possibly eating a species to extinction... It's no one's right to have a say in what diet or food lifestyle people follow.
Thanks, for sharing how you eat and cook with us on vlogs. It has sparked an interest on my end.
If you want to check out a very good tea, it's a Japanese sencha called super sencha, green tea. Sounds corny but a good quality sencha. Another is moringa.
Hey girl!
Thanks for another vid!!
What’s your other YT channel so I can subscribe?
Thank you for this! Every relationship is different and some have lots of bumps from growing up and growing together. My husband and I dated on and off for 4 ½ years before we married...24 years ago. There's a lot to be said for surviving the struggle ❤️
We bought our first house shortly after we were married in 1969, and we were always very much together. After coming up to being married for almost 56 yrs, you really get to know each other. One person will say the exact same thing the other started to say, you know what each other is thinking, literally. It's quite the ride. But people give up way too easy these days, to us, our marriage vows really did mean a lot, we've gone through thick and thing, every couple does. But never even enough to spilt up. Or even think about it.
I did horticulture in the interior of BC and my diploma contained very little science. Well, it did but honestly it was very easy. I'm not a science brain either. I was all about english, art, and history. Science was not, and still it not, my forte. If it's something you're interested in, it's worth looking into from a pure interest point of view. I will say that it's a very poorly paid industry in general, especially in the interior. I would imagine the lower mainland has more to offer and I can't say about Vancouver Island.
So in other words you’re both just a normal couple trying to navigate a relationship like anyone else. I know the struggle is real not just for you but a lot of people if truth be told. Like I told my granddaughter that is in a new relationship some days you can’t live without them and some days you just wish they would go away to put it mildly. I struggle with anxiety and depression and my husband and family have managed to put up with me for 50 years. Love your channel keep up the great content 😊
What a great video 🎉 I've been battling mealies on my ver compacta for years lol but i dont have a lot of plants so i can deal with taking time to treat it
Ugh, im so sorry. That has got to be one of the worst plants to get mealybugs on. I hope things will start to literally die down soon.
I don’t want this to come across as a dig at veganism at all or you! But if you don’t consume the eggs will you just throw them away? Or implement them in other areas of your life like possible fertilizer for your garden?
I've just made my first wire moss pole as I had similar issues with plastic mesh ones. Just be careful with your hands! Kept catching myself on sharp edges
Hey Fern it's Jason I hope you're having an awesome night 💯💯💯💯💯🙂👋👍💜💜💜💜💜
It sucks that you have root mealies, 😮 but I'm glad you discovered them though🌿😬 what to do...what to do🤔
