being a plant person in the spring is top tier 🌱 April 2023 updates 🌸

[@joehisel5966]

Your crimson queen is one of the most gorgeous hoyas in existence 😍

[@mirandalouise2]

An hour of Fern? What did we do to deserve this!! 🥹💚

[@wildfern]

you deserve the sun & the moon 💚💖

[@FaithRickett]

I saw that it was an hour and was like “let me get a cup of coffee” 🎉

[@ThatGirlShelbyy]

I can feel the seasonal depression lifting by the day (but the regular stuff stays of course) , and it’s inspired me to buy a ton of plants in the last 2 weeks… most of them are here now and I’m so excited

[@ness1562]

You have no idea how much your videos help me relax. Thank you for posting a longer video!! I appreciate you 💚

[@greenandsheen]

I saw that it was an hour long and it completely made my morning!!! Watching it with my cafecito 😌☕️❤

[@wildfern]

eeeep sounds perfect - enjoy bestie 🥰💖☕️

[@shopmark441]

Yess!!!! The air layering will does work with alocasia!!! I tried it with my frydek / Variegated frydek and I just cut off the top and now I have multiple new sprouts on the base!!!

[@ekoed]

That trailing jade is insane. Perfect color. Happy spring to you.

[@juanviana6130]

One way to keep the variegation establish on the philodendron burle marx is chop every time that his leaf comes green, doing this you give more opportunity to come variegated leafs. In yours, you would cut where the first non variegated leaf came. I hope I've helped 💚🌱

[@solarwinds-]

Oh we all get emotional when our plants bloom Fern especially if they are blooming for the first time. Congrats!

[@juliashearer7842]

The coffin terrarium 🥹 so beautiful

[@PetraEmmy]

I just ordered a few pings from CSN.. I just love them and they seem to be the only plants that are actually doing anything.. well other then all my blooming orchids 😉👏💚🌱🌿

[@lanawolf5681]

Love your videos. You should take some of your trailing jade and put it in some full to partial sun. It flushes a beautiful purple color. 🙂

[@rosine2011]

I highly recommend the "Colmanara Wildcat" as an Orchid. It is so easy to rebloom and realy hardy aswell.

[@amandaford5582]

Yayyy❤❤ so happy to see a long video...your videos always make me smile..

[@crochetqueen6440]

I was totally the same with multiples of the same plant so I started potting them all up together then just take them out as I decide what I want to do with them. It can mean disturbing them slightly more than necessary but most plants don't care (though I wouldn't do it with an alocasia ;) ) Makes care much easier.

[@Adri8086]

"El Guapo" is so fitting! Love it!❤

[@MaddieMettler]

I was able to watch some of this on my lunch break and I wanted to have it in the background as I get back to work, but I just can't focus on my work since I just want to see the updates. So I'll have to come back later!

[@helenat7135]

2:17 I think your walleniana doesn’t like that grow light on the trailing leaves, bc it’s growing on the top where the light isn’t hitting it that much. so I think the light or heat is just drying those leaves out. Hoyas can be tricky like that! Lol

[@mayarawrs]

I’m in PWN too and after months of no growth on my ficus audrey, it finally started growing again this week! It’ll start soon! 🌱

[@FaithRickett]

Holiday cactuses are on my list of plants to not buy anymore because I’ve killed one at least three times 😂 That variegated one of yours is GORGEOUS!

[@iddybiddyladybugleeza909]

If I can just say they like a bit of neglect & evening sun light (or morning) Light & water are the things it strives on or kills 💕 Temperature don’t let them get too cold…

[@rileytenhagen4113]

Ive had my ficus audrey for what feels like a while now. I bought my specific one because it had 2 beautiful growth points I thought would for sure be pushing out new leaves shortly after purchase, and here we are still waiting on anything to happen as well haha

[@lanakravets7012]

I was looking at the orchids as well! I almost got the Paphiopedium Concolor, it’s a terrestrial orchid so it can be potted in soil and happens to prefer lower light. The sophrontis cernua is also a great choice, they stay very compact, if you have a space issue and don’t require high light.

[@sarahab6497]

Thank you sooo much for these videos! I love how long they are!

[@trewti]

Gorgeous collection! I found a beautiful full 4" pot of variegated Thanksgiving cactus (didn't know it existed) in my pharmacy of all places! It lost all it's variegation, but is still growing beautifully. Praying it will come back with a grow light. My wishlist is the paradoxa and a "Fern" 😉 leaf cactus!

[@hebulanebula]

I wish I was a plant person, but I manage to kill everything ..even succulents 😂... does you get bugs in the house eating your plants sometimes... your Audrey and the one to the right are so healthy looking ! Your voice is calming , I watch anyway 😊and I shared your channel with a friend of mine who also has a house of plants like you🌿❤ 🌿

[@branchhands]

Silent subscriber and viewer 🖤 thank you fern for being a light in my dark

[@wildfern]

This means so much. Thank you for being here Amelie 💚

[@markjanbenavidez214]

that philodendron narrow is about to bloom😍

[@chloekrause5984]

It’s a Bloom comin in hottt on your Philodendron Narrow! Wow Girl! These Plants be POPPIN’! I freaking love 💕 your videos! You got the best vibes and your baby girl Olive and her appearances are wonderful! P.S. I done bought me some of them dragon fly and butterfly 🦋 clips!!!!!! Thanks for the idea!

[@quinntanner]

so happy to watch these long vids as i do ✨planty chores✨ alongside

[@taysroots]

Spring just hits different when you are a plant person ☀️🌷🙌🏻

[@jujuuu1]

orchids actually really like being root bound! so maybe wait a little longer until you repot it

[@av.6365]

An inspirational dog mum ❤

[@l3xigee]

You have inspired me to get a Begonia maculata. They're so pretty! I can't wait to make space for it and bring one home. 🥰 This is my first spring in the hobby (started toward the end of last summer lol) and the sheer joy I'm getting seeing any new growth come in, and repotting and checking on roots. Ugh, so good. 😙🤌💜

[@calyisno]

feeling the spring hitting on all of my plants and myself! So glad you post such a long video, just watched it while building a planty house in the Sims 4, it really relaxed me :) Thank you for being such a cool person 🥰

[@Pookatdino]

If you're looking for orchid recommendations from a total orchid noob I would so recommend the Jewel Orchid, it's an amazingly cute terrestrial orchid I've been growing for several months- it has been really easy and a really prosperous grower as well. It has had a small growth habit, and has been doing okay in slightly lower medium light for me. It's a really cute plant you should check it out!

[@od.vandeveer]

Yes, the curled things on the streptocarpus are buds. I have a lot I have grown from seed, very fine seed but fun to do (was mixed colors so every blooming plant is a surprise)

[@wendyacker245]

I love videos like this, great stuff going on

[@Syrax137]

Hi, your Cotyledon tomentosa (succulent in the window next to the jungle cactus) looks like it's stretching, that means it could use some more direct light.

[@lisaanglim9588]

Those white leave on your krimson queen are a nice contrast to the green and white leaves.

[@taysroots]

Spring really does bring the plant passion back! All the new growth is just so exciting 🙌🏻☺️

[@marta_kedra]

the hoya markings - might be the combination of spray and grow light? just a thought. Thanks for the video on Friday evening (for me), and an hour long :) what a treat !

[@katherinenightingale2205]

Nice to spend a relaxing hour with you and your plants after a killer week, thank you ❤❤

[@rhonanewman594]

I just noticed that you have stated that your ficus Audrey is not growing. I have given it the Osmo cote fertilizer. I’m not kidding. I got three new leaves within two months. I have used Osmo cote about 12 years ago. And I forgot how much I loved it. And now I think it’s the best thing ever all I have to do is water throw it on there every couple times a year. The best stuff ever!

[@mylifeasmel01]

Oh I just love all your plant babies!! And I'm super excited for your Thai monstera❤ mine is such a slow grower for me 😢 I hope she grows to be like yours!!

[@carolstuff]

Wow, everything has new growth! You should do an update after summer & see the comparison. I believe they’re going to explode by the fall. Thanks for sharing Fern!

[@Naeou]

I have my ficus villosa on a moss pole in room conditions (21C, 40% humidity) and she is thriving, even with me letting the moss dry out, which makes me feel it would actually do well on a wood plank :)

[@28pinkdancer]

im floored that those plants live in the pnw. im in zone 9b, im about to get a lot more bold with my plant purchases

[@vlong7112]

I've been waiting for life to quiet down so I can sit and absorb this gift that is an HOUR LONG FERN VIDEO 🤩🙌🏽

[@elizabethlacey7708]

Love the update on all your plants!!!

[@clairepook2703]

Loving your videos relatively new to plants but they are already taking over my house and the growth is giving so much joy ❤. A monstera Thai constellation is top of my want list so beautiful

[@BoojiePanda]

Hi Fern! At 9:22 that's xylem sap from guttation. Same stuff you find on the bottom of the IKEA cabinets when the plants drip from their leaves. Normal. 💚

[@crystalcorl9872]

Love this video and really love that my plant idol(Fern) slips up and neglects plants every once in awhile! Keeping up with all these plants is a job in and of itself!I have missed what exactly causes rainbow hour at your house! Could you show in one of your new videos what causes the rainbows because I need that in my home!!!

[@infinitesphere2010]

I am just enjoying to watch your videos recently because I have gotten new ten green pots this spring and want to learn how to care of them. I love your energies and enthusiasms for greens! How do you remember the all names of millions of kinds of greens? Also, for a Japanese women, your English words and voice are just so comfortable for me that I can watch the one-hour-long-video without being tired at all. I am looking forward to your videos from now on continuously in Kyoto, Japan. :)

[@shanoncollier769]

Same with my ficus Audrey. I've treated and treated and repotted and added humidity. I am at a loss.

[@carmenmonteavaro9528]

What a beautiful collection Fern. They look so well taken care off. Your love shows in how beautiful and healthy they look ❤

[@wandashaw3551]

Hi Fern, oh my goodness, your collection is looking amazing! Lush and beautiful, I hope you revisit them in summer so we can see how much more they have grown!!! I love Spring, the longer days and all of the new plant growth!!

[@LostInThePlants]

That new growth on your Philodendron Narrow is going to be a flower 🌼 also, loveee that this video is an hour long 😍

[@jeaumanneh]

Hi! For the fenestrations on the Thai I think it has to do with heat…I have a regular green small form and the one summer it was outside it put out a leaf with the most fenestrations ever. There was even a second off shoot that put out a tiny leaf with a ton of fenestrations. After coming back inside it hasn’t put out a leaf with even close to as many fenestrations as the summer outside leaves. Idk if it’s really related but I think more heat = more fenestrations

[@lisaanglim9588]

My multiflora blasted all but one bloom on it. Good luck with yours. I’m hoping to get another bloom this year.

[@daisydaysbotanicals1291]

Got up at 5am this morning so I can watch this in peace with a cup of coffee!!

[@ItsRensMC]

My Ficus Audrey didn't grow for like 8 months and I realized it actually needs to be watered every week. I was watering it every 2 weeks and although it still looked good and healthy, this one definitely likes to be consistently moist. Once I did that and gave it the right light, she gives me 1-2 leaves per month. Definitely still a slow grower.

[@EmotionalIQ_]

florida ghost is my absolute top wishlist plant! yours is absolutely gorgeous i love seeing it ❤

[@Empress_Moth]

SOOO happy you finally got into the orchid game!! Do yourself the biggest favor and get your hands on a Phalaenopsis schilleriana. Its a Phal species with silver mottled leaves, beautiful pink blooms, and a gorgeous, light, rosey fragrance to the blooms. I got one recently and its SOOO pretty. Cannot wait for the buds on its spike to bloom :D

[@urbanmtljungle]

Gosh I live for these long videos !! 😍🙌🏾

[@karenb136]

Loved seeing all your plants! Love that Euphorbia White Ghost! 💚🌱💚

[@leighn.2169]

Hi Fern! Re: the Ficus. Have you tried notching it? Works well for me.

[@rosewagner4018]

I love your plants and set ups! What’s with Ficus Audrey anyway, I never got a leaf either.

[@catherinemercer5810]

Thank you for the tour! I love your long videos

[@wishingonthemoon1]

Fantastic update! I’m loving all these new leaves 🤩🤩🤩

[@lisaanglim9588]

Thank you Fern for sharing

[@sprinkledbeanies760]

Beautiful plants fun to watch 😊

[@umikoairi]

The spots on that hanging pot of Hoya leaves looks like it could be possible flat mites! I’d probably treat it sulfur or something just to be sure. But as always, all your plants are looking gorgeous 😍

[@wildfern]

I checked it with my microscope. Couldn’t find any mites!!

[@floristics.71]

INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO!!! THANK YOU!!!

[@joannanovara815]

Tips for Thai pink lipstick? I've really struggled with this one, restarted/rerooted several times🤷‍♀️

[@sherrykumar2883]

I had a ficus Audrey that wouldn’t grow for months also. I finally chopped the top of it off and it began to grow again.

[@cannuck3577]

All of your plants look so fantastic and healthy ❤️

[@lisaanglim9588]

Yes you’re getting blooms on that plant. They’ll unfurl and be tall and have a trumpet type of flower on top.

[@Almogi97]

Omg this is exactly what I needed right now 😍😍

[@wildfern]

🙌 I love to hear it! enjoy 💖

[@ConfusedCorvid]

Damn! How do you manage to get it so perfect, even the back?! I can’t do shit to the back of my hair. I just run with “if I can’t see it, it’s none of my business”

[@Aquamarine.Aubrey]

Will you talk more about that tonic you use to prevent spider mites. I'm really struggling with them and would love to find a product to prevent them instead having to treat for them 😢

[@stephaniefullenwider1132]

Looove the longer video! You inspired me to get a cabinet and get it set up to help with the plants who hate my desert heat. Thank you for always being a source of relaxation and calm for me. 🫶🏼💚

[@PDaleyProductions]

i just started watching your videos.. so an hour long video is sincerely helping my addiction.

[@ididit36]

Oh my goodness! I’m so excited and I haven’t even began to watch! Thank you so much Ms Fern!

[@alecjamesmilewski]

You should try and find an Oncidium Sharry Baby Sweet Fragrance orchid, gorgeous little flowers and it smells like vanilla + chocolate 😍

[@karenmyers9146]

I love your plant updates.

[@eileendewit]

I’m so happy spring is here!! 🌸Seeing all the new growth is so special. Thank you for the amazing video! ❤️ I’ve got one question. How do you care for your variegated bearpaw? Is it similar to the regular one? I’ve tried three variegated bearpaws and they all croaked but my regular one is still going strong.

[@VickyHafler]

You are so brave to touch your tiny baby leaves. I’m afraid I’ll damage them somehow. Every time I see your Thai I renew my wish to have one! Prices are coming down so maybe this year. And I’ve followed your bumpy ride with yours and it scares me a little!!! Beautiful plants, thanks so much for showing us.

[@leliabaker6855]

You're getting a flower on your philo narrow!

[@angela86753]

Your plants look fantastic Fern! Thanks for the tour

[@DaveedaLoca]

I need to see this watering can toy!

[@janebrewer9326]

Tha walliana leaf damage looks like flat mite damage or root mealies to me. I hope it’s not! I know you were treating everything so hopefully it’s just a singular flare up! Your plant jungle is so stunning!

[@kristylee7663]

That’s what I thought I heard too!

[@greendreamdc]

Coming here to say check for flat mites/sulfur treatment!

[@elmerhernandez5810]

Any recs for hikes around Vancouver? I’m going to be in town later this year and one of your old videos where you’re walking olive amongst the trees looked stunning.

[@wildfern]

I love walking along the seawall in Vancouver. Not sure of the names of other hikes since I don't live there. I'm sure you'll have no trouble finding them though! The AllTrails app is super helpful too :)

[@elmerhernandez5810]

@@wildfern Thanks!

[@teresawingbermuehle4212]

Have you tried putting a cutting of a heart leaf philodendren in the water props ?

[@christypan2556]

1 hr of fern + coffee = serotonin boost :)

[@tim_meister]

i think thats a flower on the philo narrow :o

[@marylamb5662]

In my experience - abuse your ZZ raven. If I neglect it it puts off new growth. 😅

[@AlbertJames007]

Fern, zz raven needs bigger pot - it spreads underground and needs room to do that :)

[@shariduffy4215]

Yikes…😮 when you grabbed the new El Choco leaf and tugged….heard something rip

[@LarsLarsen77]

That could be root rot on the hoya. It causes brown spots on leaves like that.

[@lindaj2001]

thought i was going to have a lame friday night, not anymore!! 💕

[@esrademir2463]

Hey Fern!! I think your philodendron narrow escape might be flowering! How cool is that^^
