I love your content, almost feels like it’s gotten more creative since the no-buy 😊

[@wildfern]

Ahh thank you so much!! Yeah I feel like plant hauls and unboxings used to take up a lot of space, so there's more room to create different types of content ☺️

[@lanakravets7012]

@@wildfern it’s funny, when I first started the hobby I used to love seeing all these new plants. Now a few years and a 100 plants later, I love chores and reporting videos haha

[@greenandsheen]

“Lowkey I think that the Hoya linearis is my second favorite Hoya” *hair flip* 😂😂😂 that killed me! Love you fern! You crack me up lol

[@abitaunton303]

Id love to see a video of you reacting to your old hauls and telling us where those plants are today and how you feel about them now! 😁

[@Lmichele]

The monkey tail is one of my favorites! I would definitely suggest putting it outside during the growing season if possible, mine started THRIVING when I did that. If you do propagate it from a couple inches from the base it will throw out a ton of offshoots from where it was cut.

[@wildfern]

okay excellent I will do that - did you have yours in full sun? and ahhh maybe I should chop it but I'm so nervous lol

[@Lmichele]

@@wildfern I live in Southern California and have it out on my patio getting about 4 hours of direct morning sun. I would be nervous to propagate too, my son actually chopped one of mine on accident 😅 The top rooted fairly quickly and 5 babies grew from the base!

[@iamkactus6032]

i want one so bad!!

[@CarleyGoshaw28]

I feel like people skip over marantas bc they hear “prayer plant” & assimilate calathea issues with them. I came across one of the 6in hanging baskets of a lemon lime in Home Depot with the most beautiful purple blooms on it. When I tell you, it continued to consistently bloom for me for MONTHS. I had tiny dead flowers everywhere underneath it on the windowsill😂 but thrips MOWED her down almost nothing😭😭 it is bouncing back pretty well so I’m thrilled, but I know she’s in no place to flower again soon. Her name is Sprite bc it’s lemon lime and that’s the first thing that came to me lol. Marantas are awesome!! #MarantaMafia 😂 Great video Fern 🌿💖

[@emilioschutt144]

28:38 mine did the same thing i just unpotted it and let it soak in water until they grew some more roots that are "fresh" and now its actually thriving (took only 2 weeks or so)

[@elenaw5781]

maranta squad rise up!! 🙌 i don’t see how they’re not more popular either. They grow fast, they’re stunning, and pretty easy. it was my first ever houseplant, and ever since that day I have been forever obsessed. Someone literally just gave me a variegated one today and I’m very very excited :^)

[@meleamithun2437]

I so love all your videos. They are so relaxing and informative. Glad to hear your mental health is better. I struggle with depression and anxiety. Also have had panic attacks. That is not fun. I live in Oregon and am à senior trying to retire but so love to listen to you your voice is so calming. Keep up the good work.

[@tinaseminerio6977]

I totally am in love with maranta! I have been looking for a reasonably priced black one. I just bought an enormous red one. Love em!

[@carolinebaines8735]

I've killer 4 variegated compact but my Mauna Loa has been easy. My green compact is 3” long on several stems and I love it.

[@georgieleaman5577]

i totally agree with maranta, I recently got my first one as a cutting, a fascinator. within 2 months it has grown 6 new leaves and is now in bloom! I love having plants that tell me when I’m doing things right!

[@brooklin_bernek]

Girlie I’m loving the hair!!! And the eyeliner and lashes! Look so awake and fresh!! So dang cute!! 🥰🥰🥰 I’m going to check out fabulous because most days more then I’d like to admit I feel very overwhelmed and just avoid it all , such a bad things to dooo!!!

[@wildfern]

Awe than you so much! And I can totally relate, whenever I fall out of my routines everything piles up and I feel awful. Sending much love your way 💚🌿

[@HelloJungleRoom]

I love this idea!! And I’m so obsessed with Greta. All those half leaves 😍

[@jamilynruiz8326]

Loved your plant choices and as always your planty content too! Don't give up on your variegated string of hearts. Bottom water it and put it in a large ziplock bag full of air and place it under your grow lights. The humidity will help it plump back up and grow fast again. You can also prop it using the butterfly method to make a fuller pot. This recently happened to mine after a move/ neglect and this worked like a charm! Good luck!

[@teddyruxbin9300]

Great video! Loved all the faves!!! Omg, your Compacta is stunning! I wish mine was so luscious and beautiful 🤩

[@deborahmazza8123]

Very interesting topic! I have to agree with you on the Boro's Tail. Such a striking looking plant. I was drawn to it immediately when I first saw it in the 70's, and it still impresses me.

[@wildfern]

So cool!! It really is something ☺️

[@katherinenightingale2205]

Can you tell us how old the frydek and the monstera albo are? I often wonder that but nobody ever says lol

[@Empress_Moth]

Ayyyeee always love getting on YT to see a new video from you! A very welcome surprise after doing a ton of housework and some work out in my gardens/patio ponds. You have some really good favs in this list, the Euphorbia trigona is SUCH a pretty plant. I finally got one last year and its grown so well for me. Really excited to move mine, along with the rest of my cacti and succulents, back outside this summer loll.

[@Yuliafit]

That marble queen is beautiful 😍🤤, I'm growing mine up a pole. Also the njoy and the manjula photos, love them.

[@lucybarker5155]

I am so here for the maranta love ❤️ underrated easy care plant in my opinion! 🌈

[@lisaanglim9588]

This was a great video. I’m not sure I could pick one out the crowded genus’s to show off. I agree with the variegated SOH. I’ve got two tiny two inch pots growing in my quarantine room. When they get a big bigger I’m going to combine them. I’ll try to chop and prop some when they get bigger. One has quite a full pot. The other is a couple strings. I lost the top leaves on the top after I got it. I think I over watered it. But I’m hopeful that I can fill it in and have a full pot.

[@peggymalabuyoc9150]

So many beautiful plants! Enjoyed this video very much. The picture of the Black Maranta is stunning! Such a Wishlist Plant!! 👏🪴🤣

[@melissaharnish9094]

I am loving my marble queen. I think she might be my favorite Pothos or at least one of my favorite, my neons pretty awesome too😉

[@adriannagattuso5442]

I agree with maranta being underrated. The silver band is my #1 wish list right now. I have never seen one in person before. And I got my variegated maranta because of yours and I'm obsessed. She's gorgeous 😍

[@CarolinaGirlie313]

Sooo agree on the maranta front. I just traded for a 2 leaf silver band and I'm IN LOVE and hope I can get it to successfully grow. My other maranta have been happy so 🤞🤞🤞

EVERYtime you show this begonia I want it more and more. I love cane begonia and this one is so pretty and unique.

[@katbattt]

Love all of your videos Fern! Your plants are beautiful 😌Have you seen Hoya platycaulis? I think you'd like it! it's got really long leaves and its blooms are yellow and smell like lemons 💛

[@iftheshroudfits1148]

Amphioxus is so cool. Had a real tough time when I first got mine, leaves shed off it. Took a bit for me to get it the right humidity and watering. Now it’s doing great! New leaves a plenty

[@horace6851]

I just got baby Maranta black recently and indeed it's gorgeous... We definitely need more Marantas fans :) I feel the reason for low interest is that there are literally 5 or 6 in cultivation and people like collecting. You can't have 500 different Marantas, you need Hoyas for that 🙃

[@sreedevivn3010]

U made me fall in love with Alocasia frydek, u r right.

[@VickyHafler]

I have a burrios tail and it’s blooming 🥰🥰🥰 never have I ever seen such a beauty! I vote you get one from your birthday! You have great picks!!!!

[@Labehr0707]

I'm planning on putting all my cacti outside for the summer. I found that they just grow so much better and faster and that's the only way I have gotten any of them to bloom.

[@tanya.quintieri]

I have a fairly big pot of the B Amph… I’m not nearly in love with it as much as I am with my Ferox.

[@ShaunaFox]

you mentioned the marble queen fenestration thing....I saw ginormous golden pothos when I was in costa rica last week...they were climbing up the trees and the leaves were at least 3 feet long and had fenestration....I thought they were monstera aureas at first. they were so gorgeous!

[@wildfern]

Oh that is sooo cool! I would love to see them in the wild

[@ier2734]

I loove my maranta's got a BIG lemon lime and I'm trying to grow my variegated one big aswell

[@hola-rk3lr]

I just purchased my Begonia Amphioxus and its my favorite begonia. It’s super exotic and it doesn't surprise me because she is native from Borneo like the alocasia cuprea… they are from another🪐👽 🦧

If you get this Begonia let me know!! I can propagate for you!

[@ThePursuitofJoy]

Just what 👁️ needed this morning. 💚

[@wildfern]

have a beautiful day friend 🌞

[@Haesslicherblaubarsch]

YES to maranta love, also Calathea and stromanthe, I love all of those and they do not deserve the hate they get. I feel like they are beginner plants for a lot of people because they are so beautiful but not supper hardy, I had the same experience. But now at 70+ plants they are comparably low maintenance and are showstoppers. At this point, alocasia and anthuriums are my enemies 😂

[@keystochinese0921]

I love this vid! Philodendron silver sword is also one of my fav philodendrons!! It just gave me TWO new leaves after doing nothing for 3 months 😅

[@wandashaw3551]

Ain't nobody callin you basic!! I love it and Greta is amazing, I remember her before you chopped her, beautiful. Totally enjoyed this video and I loved all of your choices!!

[@debs_7163]

Thank you for talking about Syngonium Frosted Heart 😍 it's one of my favorite plants and it's growing so well. I feel like it's overlooked a lot. Every time I show this to a guest they are like 'ah, yes, that's nice. Show me the Mojhito again' 😅 It's so underrated

[@jessicalatham6659]

your videos are getting me through this last 2 weeks of school i am so appreciative

[@vlong7112]

Love your favorite lists!! And the throwback photos of those plants and yourself 😍😍😍 So much gorgeousness in one video! ❤️🥲

[@laurenervin1404]

Yea, we gotta shut that complaint down about the hoya compacta! I have THREE of them ( it's still one of my favorite plants) and NONE of them have ever gotten a pest. They definitely take a bit to get going if you start with a small one, but once they're established they actually grow pretty fast! It's always one of the first plants that people ask about when they come over too cuz it's such a unique looking plant❤❤

[@growingmyserotonin]

Loved this video!! And was so excited whenever one of your favourites was in my collection haha. I just imported a syngonium macrophyllum 'frosted heart' and I am so excited to see it grow up big and beautiful 😍

[@curryisgood6103]

I also love the marble queen ! such an amazing plant. never gave me any trouble and it even survives in the care of my friend who kills every other plant :D

[@elizabethlacey7708]

I love prayer plants too!!! Just keep a closed eye on what's going on with her spray down regularly!

[@graceaxisa4213]

Everyone needs a Marble Queen! I don't have one but, after this video, I have a strong urge to get one ❤

[@michelle7461]

Maranta appreciation gang! I love maranta and have my eye on a variegated maranta 😍 also the jungle velvet calathea is my favorite too!!

[@angela86753]

Loved this video so much!!! Thank you Fern. Your videos always hit just right and your plants are so gorgeous 😍

[@Niar15]

If you want the vittarifolium to mature faster you could plant it deeper and put moss or soil further up the stem so the new aerial roots can grow and grab on to something :) Pallidiflorum is high up on my list as well. Mine currently has 16 inch leaves and the 2nd inflorescence coming up. Im so excited to pollinate it :)

[@abbeyjoallred1966]

i have begonia amphioxus! such a fun cool planty. i’d love to send you a cutting!

[@christys405]

I love your grey feather its beautiful. I got one a few weeks ago and it now has some sun burning on its leaves. Any advice on how you care for yours? Thanks

[@amouraearising2148]

i love this idea! thanks

[@sydneyrocks1999]

I hope your silver sword props have been working out well. In my experience they start maturing really quick when they attach to a pole so hopefully it won’t take long for you to have a big leafed one again 💚

[@keborn6teen]

I’m with you on the philodendron silver sword! It’s literally classic elegance. No variegation. Just plain beauty.

[@ambergreenfield6926]

I have an amphioxus and I love it. Ian gonna need to get a bigger apothecary jar for soon.

[@emmasplantz]

ok your syngonium erythrophyllum made my jaw drop. It's SO gorgeous! I revived mine from root rot, hopefully she gets as big and luscious as yours one day!

[@lindaholder2222]

Yes the Burro tails are my fav but it died I'm hoping to find one this season There so cool loving your video Fern take care 🙂

[@punkysoso]

Begonia amphioxus is one of my all time favorite plants maybe number one haha it’s soooo cool, I killed my first cuz they’re a bit tricky to keep but once you get the hang of it it grows like weeds, I have 4 now.

[@eileendewit]

I really liked this video! You're so funny hahaha! Also begonia grey feather is now on my wishlist, it's so pretty😱😍

[@robintucker9057]

Can highly recommend the amphioxus. Mine lives in my cabinet and gives me no trouble, roots like a champ, and grows quickly. Very easy going and looks so cool! Even if you get a cutting, you’ll soon have a good sized plant.

[@dianahartley-kim7109]

[@urdepressedsis]

i saw a begonia amphioxus recently in a facebook plant group purge so hopefully they're becoming more available!

[@laurenp.4880]

I have a burros tail and have had multiple bear paws. For some reason my burros tail does not lose leaves easily but all 3 bear paws I’ve had are just as sensitive as people say the burros tail is. I would pick up the plant without touching the leaves and they would fall off! Still love them though 😭

[@catherinegirard1411]

It's a shame you don't live near by! I'd give you cuttings of the ones you wish to have! Also Marantha's or any prayer plant types are my favorites! Always happy to see your new videos!

Love your selection Fern! Honorable mention to your Florida beauty 🥰 literally made me buy one when I've seen yours before and I love it! 💚 I have a silver hero in pon, which I've purchased recently and it's doing well so far 🤞 also my silver lady is doing amazing in pon. I'm planning on growing them climbing when they get bigger. Take care 💚🌱🌞

[@rayacat1]

First off....Love the cute side part pixie hair❤. I hope you do end up treating yourself to a new birthday plant, you deserve it. You asked our opinion on your Monkey Tail cactus...I think you should cut those babies and propagate them in the soil with the mamma. It would be a great start to a long trailing plant. Great fav options. 💚

[@freckledcrafts86]

[@crabbyplantqueen3310]

I LOVE the begonia you chose. Reminds me of my Cissus Amazonica😍. I have no begonias I may need to find that one!

[@botanicassie]

Fernnnnnn I literally adore you but if I had a plant for everytime you said it rotted and I grew it back I would be ecuagenera 😂!! 💋 on the other side of that tho, literally you save them like every time which is UNREAL! I can only wish to have the talent you show with saving them!

[@karenmyers9146]

Do you make your own pon and if so what ingredients and proportions do you use. Thank you. Love 💕 your videos

[@charleyblum1930]

[@chelsafer389]

Hey Fern! I believe PlantmeAshley has an amphioxus begonia and I know she likes todo trades maybe it couldn’t work out!

[@_Myranda_]

I would say you can definitely propagate that split tail on your monkey cactus! Lol Often when you cut cacti it triggers them to pup! Just wait for the freshly cut props to callous over first and then you can plant them 😁

[@rhondafisher72]

[@ninabeena83]

Get the amphioxus!!!! 🥳 Completely agree about marranta, ctenanthe, calathea/goeppertia, etc - I think they’re great, so unique, and honestly very unproblematic as far as care once you get them acclimated. I have marranta babies coming out of my ears right now, matter of fact😅
