addressing the destruction that occurred in my ikea greenhouse cabinet while I was gone 👀

[@kcototheyoyoyo]

The watering is the best part for me. It’s so calming to watch especially if you have some lofi tunes in the background🤗

[@fallenbarbieee]

I love the watering as well!

[@wildfern]

Ahh good to know you enjoy it! Thank you!

[@LostInThePlants]

The plant you're not sure of ID on is 100% subhastatum and that is variegation 😊 They variegate really weirdly and seem to spontaneously variegate a lot. I know quite a few people that it's happened to including myself and it's nothing to worry about. The variegation seems to always increase when the plant is cut too, and I think I remember seeing a couple spots of variegation when you first hauled the plant, so it makes sense that it's presenting more now 🤗

[@wildfern]

No way! This is soooo cool! Even if it’s not uncommon I feel like I lucked out ☘️

[@clairebatacan]

@@wildfern Yes, I agree! I have a variegated subhastatum and the more it matures, the variegation will start to fade. Definitely keep it! ✨

[@iamjaviervillegas]

Jeez I wish mine would magically do that!!

[@ellysiaturnbull6795]

I think it's called subhastum balleroy varigated... I think I've read it a few times now

[@maditux8826]

I relate to “didn’t feel like doing that today.” Normalize not wanting to do certain parts of your job. Interests and motivation ebb and flow.

[@wildfern]

So true 🙌 everything usually comes out better when I time it with my mood anyways.

[@a.2461]

i like when you include watering! i like to see what fertilizers ur using lately and also just fun to watch when watering my plants, or as inspo to get up and water mine lol

[@liskalangdon6576]

I feel like a moss pole on the Tortum would be distracting from the plant it self… but I await your decision! Mine was lost in the mail for 12 days!! But amazingly it’s looking pretty good!! 2 decent rooted plants!!

[@brookecammarata6261]

You're spooky videos are the reason i started following you!! I love when you read stories, and repot. i LITERALLY cant wait!

Keep the watering in your videos! I actually love it. I love watching people do the “mundane “ chores, it’s just relaxing to watch. :) Your grow light falling is my biggest fear with a cabinet and hanging light, so glad nothing caught on fire!

I love the watering on camera because there are occasional little updates thrown in the mix and it’s an opportunity to see more plants even if you’re not specifically talking about them

[@emilymajeski]

I wouldn’t put the tortum on a moss pole personally. I like how bamboo doesn’t distract visually from the delicate shape of the leaves. I got one this spring and it’s just a baby, but it’s becoming one of my favorite plants! I can’t wait for spooky season. My friends have a podcast called Haunted Happy Hour and they’re doing a series on haunted road trips if you’re looking for inspo 🎃👻👾

Thank goodness it didn’t start a fire or something with the light being fallen onto leaves. I’m always paranoid about leaving the house with my grow lights on even though I’m home with them 24/7 and never have had issues 😅

I know right! That’s my concern. It sucks that it hurt the plants but I’m much more scared of something like a fire 🥺 I’m out of town today for a vet appointment and kept it off even though I will be home tonight lol.

I like to watch you water plants, also repotting. It's very relaxing.

[@melissaharnish9094]

It’s interesting you said that about the spooky repot videos. i’ve been watching your channel for a few months now, and I went back to the older videos to watch from the beginning, and I saw one of the spooky videos and then decided to skip the rest of them to save them for Halloween! I bet you get an uptic in views on those videos around Halloween each year. They may not perform as well with new viewers, but I bet your regular viewers appreciate the novelty and variety.

[@angela86753]

Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry that happened to you. Thankfully it didn't start a fire. It could've been so much worse

[@allthelittlerebornshansen5448]

I believe the plant that's the import is a philodendron Calkin gold it's a hybrid of painted lady but grows up right very rare and kinda pricey

[@User_1414b]

I don't mind watering content with some lo-fi chill tunes. If I'm doing plant chores while watching, that's a section I don't need to see the screen for. But tbh I could take it or leave it. My favorite plant content is growth updates and big picture commentary that comes with familiarity and having grown a plant for a while. How it reacts to different conditions, a new fertilizer, different climbing methods, etc. Ps you got me spraying my hoyas with orchid mist and they are LOVING it!

[@wildfern]

Thank you so much for your input! It’s super helpful. So glad your Hoyas are enjoying the orchid mist 😃

[@428pm]

I’ve heard that lower light produces better variegation for florida beauty? maybe you could try to keep it away from a light i’m not entirely sure but I want it to grow well for you!

[@amandapetkov6591]

I thought this too... may be getting too much light in the cabinet!

[@vickiandKi]

I personally like the long videos. At least when it is from someone that I would actually hang out and do planty stuff with ( yes, you😆) . There are some videos out there that I just tolerate the personality for the information.

[@YellowPineappleHoyas]

i would not recommend velcro....mine fell. I'd get the magnet hooks. You only need the hooks and they attach to top inside on the cabinet. They are super strong.

[@MariaRomero-jt8xm]

definitely magnets for the lights, i bought in amazon magnets that have holes in the middle and so i used a screw to attach it to the light with the attachment it brings and they it just sticks to the ceiling of the cabinet, sticky tapped is really hard to remove and mother lights are too precious to ruin with sticky tape, and i have used the sticky tape but on cheaper lights…

[@VanessasPlants]

Great video, love all your content! Watching you water while I do my plant chores makes it feel less boring! Also where did u get your sun catchers? I checked your merch and I’m sure you talked about them awhile back but I can’t find that video now.

Anyway, this last season was actually my favorite one since the first season!! And I think you'll like it too cuz it's got a pretty SPOOKY vibe😃

Thank you for another wonderful video. I grow both of my monstera stilepana (I really spelled that incorrectly) as trailers. They have exploded with growth so much that I’ve given them a haircut and will likely have three plants. I might try that one as a hanging plant. They do become pretty top heavy.

Amazon has Gorilla double sided clear tape. It is ridiculously strong. No worries if you use that. You can put it up and then try to pull the light off. You'll see.. Very strong. 2 pieces 6" long would be major overkill. A roll will do a lot for you.

I have heard others say it is a monstera as well, do you know if there are two types? Mine looks exactly like yours.🌱🌿

I'm not sure what specific species that philodendron is but it just looks varigated to me. It looks like one of those plants that really changes depending on the amount of light. The more light they get the lighter and more varigated they get.

[@BeautyNewb]

I had the same issue with the mother lights sadly ☹️ I ended up having to use magnets, because the heat from the lights kept making 3m strips detach from the cabinet roof. I bought really strong magnets from Amazon and zip tied them to the lights. I haven’t had the issue again!

[@thatonedog819]

It has never even occurred to me that an led can get that hot!

[@BeautyNewb]

@@thatonedog819 once they’ve been on awhile they are very hot to the touch. A fire hazard for sure. Hoping mother will provide different options in the future, especially given the price of the lights.

[@LulaMae21]

@@thatonedog819 Yep. High powered lights need a heat sink built in to distribute the heat. I use an AI Prime light on my saltwater tank, and it's been known to (when people are setting it up and have it lying lights-down on the couch) actually burn holes in the couch because the LEDs are so powerful. Mine has a fan built in as well too reduce heat.

I have two monstera siltepecana, one trailing and one used to be hanging. The hanging is now trellised. This may just be me helicopter parenting, but the two vines that was actually hanging and not resting on the shelf it was on, only ever pushed out small and underdeveloped looking leaves. So, I don't know if it had anything to do with it hanging or I overreacted and trellised it for no reason. However, the one trailing never had problems pushing out regular sized leaves. And I just trellised it about 5 days ago, so I do not notice a difference yet.
