A trick I learned from Amanda of planterina years ago to redarken leafs that get washed out, a little chelated iron once a month until color achieved again. Glad you’re still making content, I miss her chill takes. You have a cozy chill vibe that draws me in too

[@kelsey9384]

What does chelated iron mean?

[@BimmerBabe]

Do you put it in soil?

[@laurieramkeesoon]

Hi 👋🏽 gorgeous plants. I can see why it’s hard to pick a favourite. ❤ Canada 🇨🇦

[@joannefortman1979]

I miss Amanda also. So glad we have Fern😊

[@CeeCee630]

I miss Amanda so much.

[@m234as]

Your hair and makeup in this vid is *chefs kiss*

[@bmcdonough]

I don’t know how your nails always look so good, I feel like I am forever removing dirt from my nails from being a plant mom 😂 …I have to wash my hands so often that my nails just break off from so much soaking, WTH is your secret lol.

[@jsue9480]

This!

[@hannah__xxxxx]

her vlog channel (cozyplantlady) has a nail routine vid i believe!🥰

[@bmcdonough]

@@hannah__xxxxx Good to know! Thanks 😊 🙏

[@odorata.0v0]

Oh, my God, the theme of this video is literally my favorite. For me, this video will be the best video you've ever produced. I love it😍🤩🤩💚💚🖤🖤

[@odorata.0v0]

Also, your plants look really fresh and happy!!!💚🙌🥰

[@Conus426]

my personal fave used to be the ZZ 'raven', it is super tall and my oldest plant (probably, idk) and its definitely a classic, maybe a little boring some would say. but now that solanum uleanum looks insane, love those fan shaped leaves! just goes to show that there is basically an infinite amount of super cool plants out there! also very cool video idea

[@spankylewis2010]

I have a ZZ Raven and they are beautiful, especially when they are full and wild looking ❤ I got mine last year and I'm amazed at how quickly it's grown and how many new stems/stocks she's given me

[@ev8931]

Yesss! ZZ ravens are so under rated. I've had mine for 4 years now and she's almost 4 feet tall. Classic beauty for sure!

[@dianesheehan8225]

Wait what on a Tuesday?????? Just in time for lunch smoothie time?!?! Yay!!

[@GothicJungle]

goth plants are my specialty!! i love seeing other people’s goth collections to get ideas to add to my wishlist

[@mindy-mouse]

Dark Hoya = krohniana black 🖤💚

[@nikkioz1725]

Love Mine! She flowers non stop too

[@lacieplants]

so stunning, i am personally obsessed with my solanum uleanum. im drooling over your dark anthuriums, i dont have many yet bc im on a buying ban for a while and i was slow to get into them, but i hope someday the little ones i do have look as lovely as yours!! 🖤💜💚

[@Plantyfy]

another really cool dark plant is the Gynura aurantiaca, its a purple velvet plant and super pretty in my opinion

[@melissagoupil6001]

Would love to see a KZbinr go into depth on this plant!! I struggle taking care of mine she’s dramatic 😅

[@marta_kedra]

Love dark leaves🖤❤️‍🔥

[@wildfern]

perfect! enjoy

[@Planty_Ness]

Always a pleasure watching you videos, especially during a cozy snow day

[@wildfern]

Ahh thank you! We are snowed in over here today too haha

[@BarbaraSalaStudio]

Hoya rintzii Borneo, With a lot of light the plant becomes very very dark, the flowers are beautiful

[@jacquelinedaniels87]

I love that plant. It’s so hard for me to grow tho!! Idk why but that and linearis are the two that I can’t nail down.

[@lachlansmith623]

15:07 I recently put my first philodendron (a tuxtlanum red queen) onto a moss pole and she's started rooting into already, but she did have some longish petioles. I love the gigas! I think it's going on my plant wish list 🥰

[@iona5125]

omg i luv the crystals in ur anthurium pot !!!

[@luciansteph]

Pretty! I’m on my dark plant era. I have the queen of hearts and I’ve noticed that it looks darker in higher light! 😍 Did you have a one point an Alocasia Antoro? That one is SO DARK 😮 🎉Hoya Globulosa Cao Dang is also very dark

[@wishingonthemoon1]

Your gigas is huge omg! I know how much you love this plant, so I’m happy to see him doing so well!

[@wildfern]

Right!! It’s amazing to watch it finally size up :)

[@yourteacher458]

A ZZ 'Raven' is an amazing 🖤beauty

[@kaykaycalii536]

Eeeep, YAS QUEEN! 🖤

[@kaykaycalii536]

Looking stunning, boo. Your makeup and hair inspires me in so many ways. Always love your aesthetics

[@wildfern]

🫶 enjoy!!!

[@nicolegomes6030]

I also love dark plants 🖤 two dark plants I have on my wishlist are piper batman & begonia black blood. I hope to get these in my collection sometime soon I love your videos ❤ wishing one a good week

[@jsue9480]

Fern: starts got content Literal owl outside: "you rang?" 😂

[@neikystephenso8094]

Hello Miss Fern. I have not been shopping in 2 years I use to have almost 100 now only 32. I need to go. Cannot wait until spring I want to go to Heemans in London Ontario.

[@wildfern]

Oooh I hope you find some great plants this spring! That is exciting :)

[@goblin_1-t4s]

I have a luxurian's radicans hybrid, and i wish it was as dark as the luxurian but i love the leaf shape more honestly.

[@leionagomez9215]

YAY!! Gigas mention I love that plant sm one of my top plants!!

[@wildfern]

Me too!! 🖤

[@daniel.plantslover]

GREEN NAILS LOOK GOOD COLER 💚

[@BimmerBabe]

Excellent video. I just got a calethea dottie. And still trying to find her a good spot

[@rosewagner4018]

Omg! They are so, so beautiful!

[@lisaanglim9588]

I love this anthurium 25:59 It’s stunning with the venation

[@hannah__xxxxx]

i’ve been loving the begonia lady vanderwilt lately; it’s got silvery splashing and such a pretty leaf shape!

[@wildfern]

Just looked it up and she’s so gorg!!

[@exodusthang]

Beautiful lady and beautiful plants. Very nice collection and the goth vibe really fits you. 🖤

[@wildfern]

Thanks so much! 🖤

[@YRMYPPPT]

YES! 🖤❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥🖤

[@wildfern]

enjoy!!

[@klaytonbowen5646]

Could you do a care video for begonias? I feel like they’re having a moment right now and I cannot keep mine happy🥲

[@katiejarosinski]

Ahh your makeup for this was perfection! When you were holding the moodeanum and Fannie Moser up to you, I thought it was the ultimate plant/makup combo 😅

[@sharonabdullah]

omg thank you for sharing. love the goth plants. I also have an eye for darker leaf plants. recently I adopted a dark purply hibiscus plant. over the moon in love with it

[@wishingonthemoon1]

Begonia thurstonii is such a stunner

[@shevonnenorman8428]

What a unique video love your dark collection 😍

[@kristinkirgan3359]

Girl what lip color is that! I need it 😍 My plant suggestions are the black bat flower and a Tradescantia black comet. hope these aren’t in the video lol I haven’t finished watching yet.

[@huntertainment2]

Begonia Breakdance would be a great addition too

[@chelseaclifton5741]

Begonia Brad’s Halloween is my absolute favorite black plant! Legitimately BLACK velvet leaves with gorg orange right where the petiole meets the leaf. And it’s a DREAM to take care of - I keep her constantly moist and under a plant light and she’s been one of the most reliable in my collection the last couple years.

[@estesomething]

I love your dark plants🖤, all the leaves are perfectly preserve, I’m going to search for some of this plants. My darkest plants are a ficus burgundy, oxalis triangularis and a begonia rex. Im just starting in this plant world, I’m glad I found you! (love your nails too 💅🏻 haha!)

[@BimmerBabe]

A good topic would be plants that require a lot of attention for those who want to tend to their babies more than every 2 weekw

[@Marlur]

Love the dark plants as well as my pink planties ❤

[@cindybush-s6q]

I so enjoyed video. I’m a huge fan of dark foliage. I loved that first plant you showed. It’s stunner. I’m very surprised that you don’t have a raven ZZ in your collection. Most ppl have ZZ’s as flour plants but imagine a Raven as a hanging plant. Especially when the stalks are really long and start to curl over as they often do.

[@joannanovara815]

Girl, have you found the black flowering perennials for your garden yet? 😁

[@irairod5160]

Even the owls love you, Fern!

[@kelsey9384]

My darkest is the Begonia Black Magic which is more of a dark maroon. beautiful beautiful cuties as always Ferny!! I love the Anthur Moody!

[@joannanovara815]

Goth girl here🙋‍♀️ My most gothic plant is my philodendron majesty. Leaves come out like dried blood and darken to black 🖤

[@riwolfe574]

Such lovely plants ♥️

[@wildfern]

Thank you! 🖤

[@hectorfr]

ajajajaja gracias, realmente tenia curiosidad por ver mas especimenes con esas caracteristicas

[@wildfern]

you are welcome! 🖤

[@lookathergrow]

Yes to propagating ludisia! Mine needs to be repotted badly and I’m scared to do it 😂

[@gailburrus7575]

A raven ZZ plant literally has black leaves. It’s awesome.

[@LeafyConversations]

I love the ‘short petioles’ of your Philo. Gigus. One of the reasons I don’t like about Philo’s are the long petioles they look ‘stringy’ to me. I might have to check this one out! Your Fanny Mosier is beautiful too! ❤

[@LeafyConversations]

The KOS is my Wishlist plant and I just purchased a baby one from Etsy. I haven’t received it yet, but I am so excited. These are the most beautiful plants!

[@lilgoblingurl]

Love these 🖤 and there's a stunning black version of the Hoya krohniana that would be perfect!

[@ThatGirlShelbyy]

Just what I was hoping for! A fun planty video to start my day (at 1pm lol oops) 🖤🫶🏻✨🪴 My darkest would be ludisia discolour jewel orchid, and my anthurium moodeanum hybrid X magnificum 🖤🫶🏻

[@wildfern]

Yessss fabulous options! Both on my list too

[@devinrichard5101]

Omg the theme and the lip?! Sign me up! The darkest plant I own is a Pink Princess, so I’m jealous 😂 as for a “dark” Hoya, I recently got a Hoya Insularis which have vanilla bean looking leaves. Mine tend to be a dark green, but it’s still new to me and hasn’t grown much. Their blooms are also wild, red, and alien looking

[@canadiyank]

I just bought a Fanny Moser bc I’ve admired yours. Looking forward to growing it out.

[@theplantypisces]

Philodendron Gigas just got added to my wishlist thanks to you hehe! I was looking for the perfect dark velvety philodendron, but have strayed from buying philos recently due to space😅 but this is exactly what I needed when you mentioned how short the petioles are! It does make suuuuch a huge difference! Awesome video as always 🩷

[@KokoraLife]

Love the dark lipstick to go with the dark plants!

[@badplantsofkim]

Stunning dark leaves ❤🌱 beautiful, thank you for this video !!!

[@lckillosaur3833]

Hello Fern, i literally almost screamed when i saw this video(i have recently been looking for more dark leaved plants to add to my goblincore themed house) and your collection is top notch emaculant. Your Red Anderson philo is absolutely gorgeous!I know that you probably would not get another larger philodendron but have you considered the dark leaved Philodendron Billietiae Black? I have one myself and i tell you, that thing grows big and fast😅.

[@wildfern]

Ahhh so glad you enjoyed the video!! And I didn’t even know the Billie came in a dark form, that’s stunning!

[@vlong7112]

Would LOVE to know what lipstick you're sporting here 🤩

[@pudik2008]

Oh my gosh!! Absolutely adore the first vine/dark plant. It’s spectacular!❤ All your other ones you showed are just stunning as well. Thank you for all your hard work in making these videos.💚💚💚🪴🌿

[@jetterasmussen6577]

One of my favourites is Micans. I love love love it. And now you’re making me keep the wet stick Gigas, that I wanted to purge, because I never saw the beauty in Gigas before. And then I have a beautiful Anthurium papi x forgetii hybrid.

[@melissaafkrichardson9204]

LOVE all these plants. Wish they were easier to access here in Australia. I'll keep hunting. Thanks for putting more on my wishlist 😂❤

[@Martinnrdk]

Finally a goth plant video. What took you so long?😁🖤Queen Begonia, check out Begonia sp. 'Black Metallic‘ (Sulawesi Black).

[@Insight.Served]

love this one.. I am on my Begonia era.. im a baby begonia lover... so would love to see more videos on Begonias...

[@wildfern]

Yes definitely more to come! I love begonias so much :)

[@AnaC17]

Alocasia collection video pleaseeee 💚 would be super cool to see your updated collection + maybe go over your journey with each one (progress pics and such)💓

[@marinalex4702]

I have a feeling this video is going to make me add more plants to my wishlist 😅😂 dark plants are my fav, esp the velvety ones! Side note, I have been hunting down a begonia paulensis ever since I saw yours and I finally found one for sale and it was just delivered today and I am in loveeee 🥰 I totally get your hype over it. The details in person are amazing!

[@silent_builder]

Alocasia Scalprum and Treubii dark form are some of my dark ones, along with Raven ZZ 😊

[@lethixuanthe]

Anthurium andreanum Black ,some really dark leaf species excist that bloom black flowers regulary and you can get them in the gartencenters.

[@9asoutheastTexasgarden]

I love this theme so much

[@Yoliplanting]

Gorgeous Fern!! Love them all get yourself a Begonia Jovian, super dark 🖤🌸

[@Aquamarine.Aubrey]

Love this extra Tuesday video! Your dark begonias are magical ✨️ 💜💙🖤

[@jenn_willey]

thank you for the video! You look beautiful in black! Hoya sumatra caudata is my darkest hoya

[@faithewarren-agee5604]

Beautiful plants!!!!!!!

[@beckyfrichek8190]

I just learned about moodeanum in an Anthurium group, and I love the look of it, and Queen of Hearts also looks nice, but there’s also Red Beauty, which is an andreanum cultivar (? finding info on this stuff is always so sketchy), and is a bit more red than the other two, but has huge, deeply lobed leaves that look very similar to moodeanum, and I think I might like it the best, which is great, because I think it’s also the cheapest

[@katbac1657]

Hoya lacunosa black

[@mychynnagirl1]

Thanks for driving me to crave another plant...I want the solanum cleanup now!!! 😬🙄

[@wildfern]

Haha it’s such a good one! 🖤

[@mychynnagirl1]

@wildfern right now I'm only seeing them on Etsy.

[@miaangelina3468]

you look so pretty with the lipstick 💚 fav plant youtuber ever

[@LeafyConversations]

Stunning all the way around Fern. I love dark foliage my collection has a few now I am really looking forward to the babies growing. I am loving your lipstick color, what is the name if you don’t mind looking? 😊 I put on the Mooncat polish Earth To Gaia it is GORGEOUS! It is one of my favorites of hers now.

[@lisaanglim9588]

That leaf on your anthurium is bigger than your torso it’s huge!

[@LeafyConversations]

The Anthurium Moodianum looks almost like the Queen of Hearts. One of my followers told me about this plant I had no clue it existed and wow they’re like twins I think. The QOHs are the darkest leaves I have so beautiful just like your Moodi Momma. Edited to say I did not know the QOH is a hybrid of this plant. I never learned about the plant before buying it. I saw it and had to buy it immediately . 😂

[@Empress_Moth]

If you can find it, another dark orchid is Phalaenopsis 'Salu's Fragrancy'. The leaves are a deep deep purple/black, blooms are a deep red and are beautifully fragrant! Mine is really easy care in standard household conditions!

[@fathimahamza3163]

Beautiful ❤❤❤

[@philobrandon]

Your solanum uleanum is SO LONG now!! 👏🖤

[@StuffedAvocado]

My favorite dark begonias are B. 'Black Magic' (cane) and B. darthvaderiana (high-humidity type). Both are on the "very dark red" shades. I also love my 'Raven' ZZ , Billbergia 'Darth Vader', and Alocasia 'Regal Shield'. My Nematanthus gregarius (goldfish plant) has very dark green leaves.

[@RubyLyzard]

Your soleum uleanum is stunning!! Where did you get the self watering planter for your Fannie Moser? I feel like self watering pots are always white and white pots arent really my thing. Love this video!!! Thank you 🖤🪴🖤

[@catherinegirard1411]

Oh I so need the Anthurium Moodeanum! I have the Queen of heart!

[@beckyfrichek8190]

Ope, I need to comment again because I didn’t get around to it on your low light vid-your Ludisia discolor is AMAZING. It seems jewel orchids are always photographed from above when they are very small, so I had no idea their growth pattern looked like that, or that they flowered so profusely. I’ve always found photos of Ludisia discolor to be kind of boring, but seeing yours totally converted me.

[@OMM-kl1zu]

Hi Fern. Great video. Love the dark foliage plants. One that I have is the Syngonium - Red Arrow. Very dark foliage

[@annalange642]

My darkest plant ist Luxurians x Radicans

[@물풀-t3q]

메이크업 맞춘거 너무 귀여워용❤❤

[@evolvedaily]

thanksss

[@wildfern]

You’re welcome! 🖤

[@JessRabies]

Honourable mention from me since I own them 😂 Ficus Abidjan and Zamioculcas Raven! 🖤

[@beautysfnm]

My Hoya kaimuki just put out new leaves for me and I was very surprised by how dark maroon they are

[@rebeccaparis6470]

💚💚💚

[@filomenagabriel7954]

Begonia rex black mamba is very dark and velvety but the black fang is the same but it has hairs that look like spikes on the ends

[@wildfern]

Ooo I haven’t seen the black fang before 👀 I’ll have to look it up. I have the black mamba but only tiny cuttings right now. I hope it grows out for me well 🤞

[@SuzySummerMoon]

Lovely! I’m currently setting up a dark leaf plant area, nowhere near your beauties but I’m on my way 👍🏼✌🏼🪴🌘

[@Melmel236]

love love love 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
