I love how your Gloriosum is over there just stealing the show during this whole video 😂😍 Also I love Billies! If plants have personality, Billies definitely have the most.

is it the one on the right that is vivid green? is that dark form?

Would love an update on your flat mite situation and journey! It’d be interesting to show updates on the plants who had it the worst and comparing to now.

Ooh here’s something fun about succulents-hummingbirds love the flowers. Last year I grew out a big hanging basket of flowering succulents and hummingbirds visited every day.

[@milagrosdelcarmenrodriguez8136]

Helloo!!! The succulent with clear leaves that you mention are Haworthias.. very easy, friendly type of succulent! And don’t need tons of light like others succulents!

[@wildfern]

omg amazing - I need one!! this spring/summer hopefully 🤞

Um your hair is soooo cute! And ,while I love my white sweatshirt, that black sweatshirt is amazing! I don't know what I was thinking ordering white.. I am ALWAYS getting stuff on it.. 😁😁💚🌿 I finally got a philo micans and its so beautiful. And I am enjoying my Ping , from CSN, as she is "catching" alot of gnats..

I am absolutely shooketh by the clear succulents those are wild….

[@mdwrm]

ive never cared about scindapsus before but your lush basket is making me see the appeal. looks so good bushy and trailing :-)

[@gagehavens8311]

You can propagate your butterwort from a leaf pulling! And you can make a really pretty setup with a lava rock and a trey of water, because they naturally grow on rocks which is how i grow them

[@redlady3123]

Nepenthe Alata and Lady Luck are the ones that thrive in my environment. I haven’t had much success with any others (St. Gaia & some other NOIDs) I live in Florida and they are still pretty finicky down here and have to be brought inside for winter. Good luck! Loved your favorites. I’m obsessed with my Scindapsus Pictus Argyraeus too! Propping is so much fun.

[@donnasmalley3713]

Let's invent a a curved moss pole shaped like a trellis for getting the vanilla orchid started

[@emylucille240]

Oo they're doing so well!! Your Brasil is soooo pretty :) all your carnivorous plants are making me want one! Also your hair is so cute! It really suits you!

[@susannahthankful]

Fern I love your pink style era!! You have become a PPP and your pink variegation is just fab- so cute!!!!!!

[@madison2461]

Can you do a video on looking through a bunch of Canadian online plant stores?! Like all over Canada?! I live in New Brunswick and there are only a few stores to buy plants from so online shopping is pretty much the only way I can attain plants on my wish list! Maybe rate them on selection and a few other things! Would be an interesting video for us fellow Canadians!

[@veronicanunez7816]

I think the Vanilla Orchid would look so cute on one of those cool transparent trellises that you have. Your Scindapsus looks sooo dreamy I love it! I was FINALLY able to get my hands on one after years of wanting one and not being able to find one here in Puerto Rico.

[@laurenjohnson5880]

For your vanilla orchid, you could chop the top off and put it in a little terrarium with some other tiny plants 🌿

[@wildfern]

I'm dying for a terrarium, but have nowhere to put one! 😩

[@tannerharmon7901]

I’m hysterically laughing at your reaction to the Ariel roots at 8:59 😂😂 they were very impressive though and I’m so excited for spring to get into more interesting philodendron!

[@wandashaw3551]

Hi Fern, love your January faves!! I also have the vanilla variegated orchid and I am letting mine trail from a hanging basket!! LOVE THE LOOK of IT.

[@VickyHafler]

I gave my Billie away… went to visit the friend it went to today and 😮 wow it is huge and doing so well!!! No regrets. I have a variegated one that is still a tiny baby but I see potential. Thanks for another planty video! ❤

[@larrycahoon8465]

Good selection for the month. A flat of Pings in bloom is just stunning. The orchid is looking real good.

[@zharynnaramirez3943]

For the vanilla orchid I would just rewrap it around. You will get a fuller plant when the shoots start growing from random spots. Mine is so full and I just wrap any new growth around it's stump pole.

[@thecrystallak3]

I love my philodendron rio. The leaves are just stunning.

[@lisaanglim9588]

I loved this video it was shorty and sweet. To see the walley gro planters in the before picture and to see them all glowed up was fun. They all looked so good.

[@stephanielopez8799]

I just got a new orchid called “Oncidium Tsuki Marguerite” and it’s honestly so cute. It’s makes the smallest little orchid flowers and currently mine is blooming and it’s the cutest thing. I do recommend. Also I love how your Billie is growing. I got mine a few months ago as a small TC and it’s still super tiny (the biggest leaf is maybe 1.5inches but honestly love it and excited to see it mature especially after seeing yours

[@natashaoreilly7072]

[@MaddieMettler]

I have a baby Argyeraeus (totally misspelled but I can’t be bothered) that I started from a free bonus cutting. I did not at all expect to like it and I’ve been having so much fun watching it grow! I’d love for it to become nice and full one day!

[@MilesToGoGo]

Fern, I just joined your Patreon! I’ve been binging videos from the beginning and it’s so crazy to see how much your plants have grown in that time, it’s like I’m watching them grow up lol

[@tonybezanson9625]

I love that you are getting more into carnivorous plants. I've got a few pings, super easy. Good beginner types are your moranensis, emarginata and crosses, gigantea, moctazumae... I personally love cyclosecta. Surprisingly a few nepenthes do quite well on your windowsill in regular household conditions. I've got 14 on the go. Brad has a section on his website for windowsill nepenthes. There is also a channel with that same name, great resource for growing nepenthes indoors in Canada :) Anyway Fern, have an awesome day

[@marchm-p9485]

Hey Fern, love this video, I’m so jealous of that Rio 🤤 Also I would love to see a video on where you like to shop for plants, especially online shops. I mostly look at Etsy, but I’m wondering where else to get plants and figured you’d have some suggestions :)

[@dreamsofhoya]

Such gorgeous plants in this video, I totally get it 😍 I have a Vanilla Orchid too and it came mounted/fully rooted to a birch pole that has been attached thru the nursery pot - to a metal plate on the bottom. 🤨 It still has drainage, but come repotting - it will be interesting to say the least. Any vines that outgrow the current support, I've been cutting to start (hopefully) a new mother plant in a climbing situation 🤞💚 I've rooted it just fine, but haven't gotten it to attach yet. Might buy a similar pole to the existing one to experiment further!

[@SuperUsername147]

Honestly I’m not a big succulent person but I know what you mean by wanting some plants that are different. The plants I currently love in my collection that I consider to be different from my other plants in my collection are my euphorbia trigona, anthurium cochabamaba, and dioscorea elephantipes (I started mine from seed). I highly recommend the anthurium cochabamaba. So far it’s been a fast grower and it has these beautiful, thick, palmate leaves. And it climbs! It’s one of my favorite plants right now. I definitely think I want to pick up a butterwort at some point. I’ve wanted one for years but never got one!

[@wildfern]

Really cool plants, I just googled it and that Anthurium is gorgeous!

[@paigesofmakeup8573]

My verrucosum is also going crazy so trying, for the first time, air layering so I can have two! You’ve really made me more confident as a plant owner! Thank you so much for being you!

[@RayaCeleste]

I always feel like when I have my plants growing up a plank or a pole, (and they outgrow them) but you can tell they put out roots thinking they're still climbing. Do you think that it scares them? I feel like they must feel like they're falling... It makes me so sad. It's funny I have so much empathy for plants and animals but zero empathy for people lol😆

[@RedRona7]

Beautiful all of them 😍 I'm really into weird looking / different from what I own plants I think it's really fun to add small quirky plants to the collection especially succulents Can't wait to see what you'll purchase in the spring :)

[@wildfern]

yesss 👏

[@zandrawostel3765]

If you want your vanilla orchid to produce vanilla beans, then you'll want to let it grow. It won't produce if you keep it short. There are other requirements that are needed to make it bloom. I'm in NE Florida and some people grow them in their houses but they grow best in S. Florida where they have heat almost all year and high humidity. Good luck. Love all your other plants too.

[@lauralewis2036]

Ah love that vanilla orchid! Question for you - your alocasia video inspired me to finally buy an alocasia cuprea red secret (with one leaf haha). The second leaf came in perfect, but the first one is kind of losing that rich red color and going more green. Have you experienced this before? What do you know about lighting for plants that are this color?

[@oliviamcveigh900]

I’ve tried with scindapsus sooo many times (probably really 3 but it feels like more) and it dies every. single. time. I’ve given up but every time I see someone with theirs I always want to try again and think it’ll be different 😂

When you had to spell out walk instrad of say walk for your dog Haha. I also have to spell things out so my kids don't get overly anxious and excited. Like if we go to the park I say park.

You ever have to apologize about breaking out the linearis. That thing is awesome an reminded me that I wanted to get another one after I had to give mine away when I moved. I did get another one and I bought an 8inch thinking it would be really full and it sort of is, but I am thinking about down potting it. Thought?

[@wildfern]

Hoya do enjoy being pretty tight in their pots, you could leave it and add more propagations over time to fill it out. Or you could downsize if you think the roots are too roomy. Good luck! x

[@Kindofminty]

@@wildfern yeah. I think I’m gonna leave it and add props to it in the spring/summer. Hopefully between that and it’s own growth it will look crazy full
