unboxing & caring for my ✨new✨ houseplants (planthaven toronto)

[@S99-h4m]

Hi! Just one though. Don't call it "Jacklyn" that's the name of the woman that started poaching these from the wild in Indonesia. Call it Tandurusa or Tandu Rusa. That's the real name. It means deer horn in Indonesian. 🦌

[@wildfern]

That's very fitting 🦌 thanks for letting me know!

[@GardenWitchStudio]

I had forgotten this! Thanks for the reminder.

[@brooklin_bernek]

I had no idea , even the plant shops in my area call it a jacklyn lol. That’s insane

[@brooklin_bernek]

I had no idea , even the plant shops in my area call it a jacklyn lol. That’s insane

[@GardenWitchStudio]

@@brooklin_bernek Yeah I see most nurseries and online shops still calling it a Jaclyn. The first I ever heard the backstory was when someone posted an article in one of the fb plant groups.

[@s.galeassi3437]

I love love love this hair length!!! This is so cute and it fits your face so nicely :)

[@wildfern]

thank you!! I'm really enjoying it too!

[@vickiandKi]

I am drooling over that Alocasia!!! That is my number ONE wish list plant. I have been trying to find one that is not priced out of my budget, but, yeah, no. Yes, Alocasia Dragon Head would have been quite fitting - On point with that! Black velvet was my first and training alocasia. It just doesn't grow quickly for me.

[@alboplants]

Wow! That philodendron Sharoniae looks like a cross between Anthurium Veitchi and Philodendron Esmeraldense. All your new plants look so nice! You take such good care of your plants even though you have so much of them. They all look so healthy and happy considering you are saying that you have been doing the bare minimum. I send you lots of positive energy Fern! You rock! 🤩

[@heyfrankiebird]

Fern, i know the focus is supposed to be on the plant care, but you are literally looking like a model lately!! You’ve been my makeup inspo as of late. So gorgeous!!

[@wildfern]

this is so kind, thank youuu!! x

[@itspaigeshelton]

First, I love this video and adding new plants is always so exciting! But most of all You look amazing!! I love hearing you talk truthfully about your plant care; your content is so refreshing

[@wildfern]

thank you so much Paige 🥺🫶

[@pattin4015]

You are going at your own pace with the plants. Maybe that is the key, you are looking beautiful. The plants which have joined you here are lucky to be in your sanctuary!

[@vlong7112]

Hahaha, the loading bar 😂 I totally get "the way they lay" part 😉

[@RoseGolden0]

I got a Jaclyn two weeks ago and it’s already giving me a new leaf! Such a STUNNING plant. I’m so happy I got one!

[@jenny15856]

Hello! Hello! Lol I love the way you talk and the way you make the videos! Thanks for making me laugh, you're so cute! And I love your plants! I learn a lot with you! ❤️🙏🏼💚🌱🪴

Awe thank you Jenny! x

I just wanted to let you know your videos have been helping me get through these past few weeks which have been very stressful for me on the job front. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I appreciate you so much!

Girl that’s a great Hoya! It sunstresses sooooo gorgeously! Your going to love it!! I’d pop it in your cabinet right under your lights 😊

[@wildfern]

Ahh I'm so excited to see it grow and hopefully sun stress!

[@itsinhercode]

I just checked your profile wondering if you had posted, and literally 1 min ago! Perfect timing, missed you and so glad to see you’re feeling better ❤

[@wildfern]

aww thanks so much!!

[@thewilsontribe8]

My black pagoda lipstick is blooming right now too. It has cute little buds on each end, but they haven’t opened up yet. I can’t wait, this is my first lipstick plant. But, I’ve been growing it out from tiny cuttings for about a year. First time blooming

[@tanya.quintieri]

Oh, I have a toddler Sharoniae that I grew from a wet stick. Took her forever to do SOMETHING. Or, to be fair, for me to figure out her care: plenty of light and air flow, very chunky soil that I never let dry out. Can’t wait for her to mature. Congratulations on this beautiful plant!

[@ayrandrobinson1697]

Lucky you!! The Alocasia is absolutely magnificent!! One questions, what lipstick color are you wearing? It is a pretty neutral and looks fab on you!!

[@reedebrown6006]

Hi Fern. Hope you are now fully recovered from your recent illness. These plants are gorgeous! The leaves on the Jacklyn are amazing and just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, you show us that amazing Philodendron. Those leaves are real stunners! They all arrived in really good condition too. I’ve yet to bite the bullet and order plants online but I suppose it’s inevitable! Thanks for sharing these with us💚

[@michellecastro2475]

Love the lipstick plant so cute But they all are beautiful. Glad you're feeling better. Plants make me feel better too. My daughter loves the eyeball pot.

[@wandashaw3551]

Hi Fern, all of your plants are beautiful, and I can't wait to see them grow and flourish!! Hope you bring us along for their repotting!!

[@dorindastewart1375]

Gorgeous new plant babies! 😍 Some of those are on my wish list. 👍 Will you share the recipe for your sacred leaf tonic? I usually just use water and a little lemon juice.

[@sassysucculent6291]

The beautiful Philo reminds me of my juvenile Tenue type 😍 it’s gorgeous and on my wishlist

[@wildfern]

Yes! They're super similar. Love them both 💚

[@dora9368]

That Alocasia Jacklyn is amazing 😍😊

[@kathrynrobinson670]

I ordered from Planthaven Toronto and had the best experience. I got 6 Hoyas I have been wanting, and the alocasia Jacklyn . I live in Santa Barbara California and took the risk to get plants from this company. They grow in Canada and cross into the U S as imports. I love how the communication and shipping was handled. Plant prices and quality were excellent. Thank you for recommending them. They have a great inventory. Blessings☺️

[@wildfern]

Ahh that is amazing!! So cool that you were able to get your hands on them ☺️

[@kristarepp2607]

Ok so I hen you opened the Alocasia, I was like 😍! Then…. You opened the philodendron 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 omg! Btw I ordered from this company after seeing you open some good quality plants on previous videos and they were top notch! Plants arrived in perfect condition and came super quick! So thank you for the recommendation!

[@wildfern]

That's so awesome to hear!!

[@ashleyh.8207]

What a great selection of new plants! Love how diverse your plant collection is. Annnnnd that Ficus Shiv is so pretty. You are going to fall big time for this one as it grows. 🥰

[@wildfern]

so excited for my baby to get bigger 😃😃

[@youunijayden375]

You look gorgeous as always. Your makeup so neat and pretty🤩🤩

[@MaryGatdula]

I want a Lipstick Vine in tje worst way, but I have absolutely no place for a hanging plant! There are several hanging plants that I'd like to have actually. Maybe going to have to get creative! I used to have a Lipstick Vine and I loved it so much!

[@jrleonard72]

Glad you’re feeling better!… Nice additions! You keep getting plants and it makes me want to get more!! 🤣🤪 Stay well and keep smiling! 😊

[@rhi4189]

Good to have you back, and glad you are doing well. I've been struggling lately and it hard to keep up then eith plant care and life. But it's always good to get new plants that makes me happy...and I always want to add more..even though I'm running out I'd space...and seeing tge alocasia jacklyn makes me want to add it to my collection, do beautiful 😍

[@zandrawostel3765]

So glad you are feeling better. Wow, wow, wow on the beautiful plants.

[@jonathansplems]

My Jacklyn is the largest Alocasia in my collection! She lives in a chunky soil in my Milsbo 🤩 I feel like yours will do the most and I can’t wait to see the progression!

[@PattyJoy]

What did you use to spray your new plants? Everything looks great and I'm glad to know about this new plant store - thanks!

[@dezeraemedler1224]

my thai pink lipstick grows and propagates so so incredibly fast. She never complains about neglect either easiest plant im the world.

[@AquaStevae]

Which Sharoniae is it, A, B, C, etc...? Because they have several different ones listed on their site. Also, I'm very interested to know if you are going to put any of your new plants into Leca? Lastly, I'm always looking to experiment, so do you care to share what's in the "Sacred Leaf Tonic"??? I just use RO water, alcohol and dawn.

[@wildfern]

It's the same plant, just different specimens so you can see the photo of which one you're getting. I don't think mine was any of those since it was sent to me separately. I will not be putting any in leca since I don't have great luck with it. The sacred leaf tonic is a leaf cleaning/pest product by Sacred Elements.

[@ArthurGrey.]

Ficus Shivereana prices now have absolutely shook me. I remember that size being 300 USD and watching it for so long without the price dropping. I accepted I'd never get one and now I can't believe how accessible they are!

[@wildfern]

Right!! I never thought I'd have one. Even with the price, I never even saw them for sale anywhere unless you wanted to import. So awesome that more people can grow them now ☺️

[@c0bweb.hum0r]

Hard same. Definitely on my wishlist now since it’s much more affordable and accessible

[@christianeriful5700]

I'm into plants just this month buying plants and killed most of them. Now, I looking into specific genus which is alocasia. I am really in love with them and because of this you I met Jacklyn and wanted to add her on my alocasia collection. ^^

[@The_Black_Truth]

Thanks For The Close-Up Of THE SHARONIAE... I THINK I'm IN TR 💚💚💚UBLE!!!

[@paulanoakes5358]

I just checked their website, so many beautiful plants. So tempting. I usually keep any new babies separated from my plants just don't want any issues 🤣. Love your channel so much.

[@wishingonthemoon1]

That Philodendron is GORGEOUS. Wow! It’s like a scandens or a melanochrysum or micans got a glow-up! Can’t find it on Etsy or online yet. But. Somewhere in Europe will have to have it eventually :p

[@GardenWitchStudio]

I love my Alocasia Jaclyn so much. I have over 30 types of Alocasia but my top favorites at the moment are: 1. Jaclyn 2. toss up between my large Dragon Scale and Red Cuprea 3. Regal Shield 4. V. Black Stem 5. V. Frydek

[@wildfern]

You have good taste 😍 had to google the black stem one, it's gorgeous!

[@GardenWitchStudio]

@@wildfern The black stem is a new acquisition. The variegated one isn’t cheap but I love the contrast with the dark stems.

[@NatTayHill]

Hi Fern! What plant content KZbin channels do you regularly watch? I just can’t get enough and thought maybe there’s a few you could recommend.

[@lauraheuseveldt]

They have great stuff! So happy with my plants from them! Can't wait to order again :)

I’ve had my eye on the Sharonai, lutheri and heterocraspedon (might’ve butchered the spelling). I don’t normally go for strappy-shaped leaves but those are 😍😍😍

[@wildfern]

yes those are all so gorgeous 😍

[@lisaanglim9588]

This has been a great video. The plants are all new to me except the alocasia. I can’t wait to see up dates on them.

@@wildfern also, I just saw that you got a philo sharoniae and I was gifted one as well a while ago. I agree with it being a really underrated philo! I can say it really appreciates a moss pole, it makes the leaves grow much bigger with this one as well. Overall a very easy going philo in my experience. Hope yours brings you joy 💚

[@wildfern]

@@Haesslicherblaubarsch amazing - thank you! Can’t wait to repot this one and get it on a pole :)

[@averilt]

I feel like the slower pace and not immediately repotting these new babies was good for them. Plants sometimes also need a while to acclimate and get used to the new environment, and they seem to have transitioned so well because you gave them and yourself the time needed. We all get moments of mental/physical stagnation, but it's cool because other times we're 100miles a second, so it all balances out! Love all your new plants, can't wait to see them all thrive =)
