[@wildfern]

🌞 Thank you Soltech, check them out here: glnk.io/0lyv/wildfern (code WILDFERN should be automatically applied through this link)

[@lisalee6393]

Do you prefer your Soltech or your Mother lights?

[@cupofjae]

THE WHITE GHOST IS GROWING!!!!! Hell yeah haha. What a triumph!

[@Lotus_linan]

Good morning!! 🌞 I don’t think you know how much we need these videos while we do chores!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🫶🏽

[@Anni-Leni]

Omg, I'm so excited that you got an Asparagus Fern now too! They are one of my favorites! I remember you talked about maybe getting one in a recent video.

[@xgreenus]

Me too! I have like 3. Love them so much. It’s a very woodsy vibe which I prefer over tropical myself 😉

[@Anni-Leni]

​@@xgreenus Yes, 'woodsy vibe' describes it perfectly and I also prefer it!

[@Anah-B]

FYI, your Asparagus fern can handle much more light than you would (probably) expect! We have some growing in our hot Southern California backyard and they do great.

[@par3433]

I love seeing you grow more and more into your space and really making it your own like your whole bedroom set up is just adorable ❤

[@danaghostlaw3322]

❤ I am expecting a Philodendron Painted Lady in the mail today! 😂 Super excited about it! I love your Videos and I watch when I can! Thank you for all your Planty wisdom! 💚💚💚

[@shaynano]

I love how dark your Philo Serpens newer leaves are looking!! Dreamy!

[@terminalspines]

This time, I made it a point to pause the video to make tea first. Don't sleep on Fern's suggestions, watching these with a cozy beverage is actually legit

[@angela86753]

My Asparagus Fern is one of my favorites in my collection and so easy going

[@wildfern]

Glad to hear yours has been easy going :) I looove the look of them. Thank you for watching!

[@jmeelizabethh]

🥲🥲🥲👻👻👻🥹🥹🥹💓💓💓 yaaaaassss!!!! we love you white ghost!!!! 😍😭 what an emotional moment✨✨✨ literally so happy for you (and her) omg

[@Ginger_Odie]

All your plants look so beautiful 💚🪴‼️ hooray for all the new growth in the winter too❣️

[@jomassey4207]

Streptocarpus are so underrated. Mine has massive leaves and is forever flowering. They love bright morning light and need regular watering. When they bloom, the old flowers turn a little brown and I cut the new baby leaves near the centre of the plant, to allow for more flowers....similar to African violets. Hope you enjoy all through spring and summer. Jo...NZ

[@majadrenovec3828]

Fern I cant even explain how happy i am every time u post a video, even happier that that is every few days🥰

[@elyssasande1293]

Perfect and favorite way to wake up, watching fern and her updates 😍😇 my friend I never met. Love you so much , you're so inspiring girl. Don't stop, I'll always follow you

[@wildfern]

Awe I appreciate this and you so so much 💚 hope you have a beautiful planty day Elyssa!

[@psycheready6958]

So excited about your beneficial bugs journey :) I"ve been really happy with them, and it's so fun!

[@wildfern]

Eeeep they arrive tomorrow 🙊👀

[@caroooolineeee]

i’ve had my white ghost for a full year now and i swear it hasn’t grown even a teeny tiny bit 😅 this video makes me feel less crazy about it lol thank u

[@lorrainecourtney4589]

Glad you picked up an orchid 😁 mine is in bloom right now 😉

[@fawnvigil6727]

Shepherdii blooms smell amazing!! ❤

[@melidamaldonado3636]

I always wait for your videos, literally all the other KZbinrs can wait, not you ❤

[@mariadanielabolano3661]

So many fun updates! ✨✨💖💖💖🪅 and welcome to the orchid world!!! 🥹🥹🌸🌸🌸 you should def try letting the blooms hang instead of staked up if you enjoy that look! Then the blooms trail beautifully and form a sort of cascade ✨✨🌸🌸🌸🌸💖💖💖🥹

[@VioletGraces]

You will love your Strep. Gorgeous blooms.

[@the_flora_archives]

Hi Fern! Your videos are some of my favorite. I wanted to let you know I also have a black pagoda out a lipstick plant and she really loves bright, indirect light. She’s off to the side of the south facing window and won’t stop blooming.

[@natashaoreilly7072]

Loving all the new spring growth 🥰🌷

[@kristarepp2607]

Love the updates! And still think your krimson queen is gorgeous! If I can manage to stop rotting all my hoya’s, I hope I can get a nice full luscious pot of my krimson queen too! Hope you are feeling better soon!

[@pudik2008]

Loved all the updates! So happy for you as you enter the growing season. ❤Natalie

[@oliviaplants]

I did not know you were a nurse! I just happened upon that info on an older video! I too am a registered nurse in New York. I work in the ER and I love connecting with Nurse plant people 😂

[@carmenmonteavaro9528]

@oliviaplants l recently retired after 45 years as an ER Nurse. I didn’t know Fern was a nurse either. I have so many friends that love plants and are nurses. I guess it’s the nurturing in us 🥰

[@oliviaplants]

@@carmenmonteavaro9528 congratulations! That’s amazing! I bet you were one of the best ones to work with and learn from! Most of my favorite coworkers were the ones doing it 30+ years. I think you might be right! A surprising number of people I meet in the plant world are nurses

[@carmenmonteavaro9528]

I loved this video. Loved the progress in all your plants. I love how you don’t get excited when you mention the spider mites. You just deal with them. How can you tell you have spider mites? The mealies I can see but the spider mites? For all I know I have them and don’t even know it lol. By the way, you look so adorable with your glasses and hair pulled back. Your skin is just perfection. Looking forward to your next video.

[@xenic101]

Agleonemas have been pretty hardy for me, good luck recovering yours. "vittarifolium snuck out a new leaf on my.....this plant gets neglected so much," I have a theory... Super cool bedside reading lamp. 💚the Tortum as always.

[@xgreenus]

You’ve made me realize I have a habit of over potting when a plant needs a new home. I think it was the biggest contributing factor in my tendency to over water 💦 💗 so thank you 🌿

[@jenny15856]

Omg love love the new plants too Fern 😍🌱

[@jaquelinflores]

Goodmorning happy to be here for the live premiere 😊💞

[@wildfern]

Good morning 🥰 thank you so much for joining the premiere!

[@av.6365]

Ooooh! Please do some videos on the beneficial bug journey! Would love to know all about it 🙂

[@wildfern]

I shall!! They are supposed to arrive tomorrow 🙊

[@sarahland1768]

Thanks for the video, Fern! I always enjoy watching them! My Algaonema is struggling currently too.. Same thing happened with mine.

[@charmainerichards6801]

It’s me again it’s raining running outside to catch some rainwater Girl, and by the way, I have the green house cabinet bug. I invested in the Baggebo need big Melso big thank you for the VD 💚nyc

[@lisaanglim9588]

I have an asparagus fern too. I love mine. Did nothing the first year then sent outa large bunch of branches and needles plus a long vine that’s attached to my plant stand

[@RedRona7]

I've been wanting an asparagus fern for so long now Yours is so cute love it

[@laurenp.4880]

Omg I didn’t know green lacewings were beneficial insects! I’ve loved those bugs since I was little. My mom and I call them fairy bugs 😄 Also I have never wanted an asparagus fern more than after seeing how cute yours looks! So whimsical 🧚✨

[@mitchducky962]

It's still have to something that many special for equipment for products and new plus another same things plants beautiful love it so good actually you make sure just wondering great point nice day for you 🌹🌹🌹🤟🏾👌🏾🤜🏾🤛🏾👉🏾🤟🏾

[@molly_dudgeon]

Yayy!! Thank you for making my rainy day a bit sunny w your video🥲❤️

[@AmericanaGardens]

Love fuzzy plants ;)

[@kourtneys.plant.korner765]

Soltech lights are honestly the best. I was hesitant to buy one and now it’s my favourite light ever. I want the vita bulbs just for my regular room lights

[@wildfern]

Exactlyyyy. They’re so good! 💡

[@charmainerichards6801]

Happy Monday Fern, this is my third video of yours for the day. I was looking at the Thai cancellation video because I have one so I want to you know educate myself second of all I wanted to see the update on her too. I can’t find it 😊anyway love the video love all your plants get to that spider mite situation, ASP. Nyc👒🧤💚🇹🇹

[@madeleinebernard2994]

Love a longer video for when I do my dishes 🖤

[@karenmyers9146]

Love your white ghost. I really enjoy when you do your plant updates. I have an El Choco Red and its putting out its first leaf in my care.

[@wildfern]

Oh how exciting about your el choco :) glad you enjoy the updates. Thank you for watching!

[@quinntanner]

Wishing I lived in Canada so that I could hang and plant with you! Of all your videos, I've watched 100% of them and feel like we're so similar and love having your company in the background! If you ever come to the east coast of the US I'd love to do a planty tour with you(:

[@laurenjohnson5880]

Mini phal orchid is a good choice😄 I'm in the process of reblooming 2 from last year, my very first orchid blooms in my care! In my experience, the roots tend to need some rescuing when you get them home from the store, good luck with yours!

[@wandashaw3551]

Love your new plant babies, especially your orchid!! Most of my collection are different genus of orchids, I Love Them!!

[@bmguind]

Look into mounting the orchid. I wasn't able to keep mine happy until I mounted it. And so easy to water cause I just bring it to the shower with me.

[@lisaanglim9588]

Love all your new plants. This was a fun video.

[@brooklin_bernek]

So exciting , I feel so spoiled with all these videos ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Billie-jo_field]

Hi Fern! 😊💚 Absolutely love my Soltech track lights. You will love them. I have both Mother and Soltech, each has their own advantage. I purchased them from your endorsements, they do not disappoint at all. Thank you for that!🪴💚

[@Nelin_san]

Your plants are so big what lights are you suing for them? ❤️❤️❤️

[@irrationallyhappy]

Good morning fern! Perfect timing, now I’ll have this to watch on my day off while I do my planty chores 🥰

[@wildfern]

Good morning 🥰 thanks so much for watching!

[@cassandra3399]

Hi Fern, I just love seeing all your gorgeous plants! I fulfill my plant wishes through you! Thanks. I have quite a few plants too although all in my dining room as it’s the only room with good light. 😊

[@Jen_Eve_Loves]

Can’t wait to watch this later after work 🥰

[@wildfern]

💚💚💚 appreciate you Jen x

[@iamgoregeous3952]

@wildfern Can you do an updated video on your fertilizers???

[@tattedkc16]

I'm doing the same thing with an orchid (my first time ever)! I have a tiny white one and she's doing great!💚

[@s.galeassi3437]

Good morning! I'm loving the hair :)

[@wildfern]

Awe thank you!! 😊

[@lindaholder2222]

Fern going to try a Orchid it's so so 😍

[@jomassey4207]

Asparagus ferns always remind me of the terrain in Africa....looks like a mini tree in the landscape. Love, ❤....but don't have one.

[@lilicrussh]

Love the glasses!

[@lisaanglim9588]

Hey Fetn, did you know that Aglaonemas bloom. Mine put up a bulgy looking growth point and it turned into a flower and now a see a second one. So surprised.

[@JS-ik7rn]

Beautiful video!!! You have such an amazing variety of plants!! What is your favorite way to acquire plants? Local nurseries? Etsy? Online wholesaler? You’re inspiring me to make my home a more beautiful planty place for me and my daughters❤

[@wildfern]

My favourite way is through trades. But I have acquired my plants through lots of different ways - online and in person plant shops, private sellers on FB, Etsy, & importing.

[@jasi6928]

loved the video! 🌿

[@wildfern]

Thank you so much for watching 💚💚

[@creativespirits4105]

Heeyyy you got an orchid after! So pretty. Mine just rebloomed for the first time. Mine is in LECA and seems to be happy 😍

[@wildfern]

Yes I sure did!! Really excited to grow it. That is amazing!

[@lisaanglim9588]

Your new plant is also known as a gloxinia and yes it’s related to the plant you mentioned.

[@joosroots]

loved these updates! your new asparagus fern is gorgeous 🤩🌿 i just recently got one too. mine is much smaller tho lol. 🤣 hope you have a good wednesday! 🫶🏼

[@wildfern]

Ahh thank you! I was trying to find an even smaller one (due to space haha) but they were all around this size. Thanks for watching as always 🥰🌿💚

[@regi985]

Hi, I´m sure you will have fun with your little orchid. but If you have trouble with the traditional bark medium they are in (I had that) then you can give moss a try. I repottet some into moss and they really seem to like it. I also pottet some into water but that doesn´t seem to work for me as well (might also be due to the cold weather), so I probably gonna change them to moss too.

[@wildfern]

Thanks so much for the tip! I think I will go for moss when I repot.

[@regi985]

@@wildfern I followed miss orchid girls tutorial , packed the moss really light and fluffy and covered it with bark (I reused the old one) and put the clear pot in a cover pot to prevent alga growth. I find it really easy to check the moister level and water when needed. you can see condensation, the color of the roots or squeeze the pot and hear the crunch of dry moss :D

Good morning 🌅 i from Thailand

[@MeowItsGhazt]

Hey Fern, was curious if you could grow some Flowers or some weirder plants. Would be cool to see how you take care of them and stuff.

[@wildfern]

I’m on it 🫡 anything you’d like to see in particular?

[@MeowItsGhazt]

@@wildfern These are the ones im looking into at the moment, "Bromeliads, Amaryllis and Kalanchoe" Thanks for the reply :,) always nice to see KZbinrs with knitted communities.

[@marchm-p9485]

Hey Fern! Love your videos, and your plants :) I’ve been wanting to get some big leaf climbing philodendrons, but they’re so expensive. Do you have any advice on which one’s tend do be cheaper? I like the more traditional leaf shapes like on the gloriosum and splendid btw, not so big on florida ghost-like shapes.

[@mikayla1999]

where did you get this bed frame? i want to be able to hang more plants in my room without drilling holes 😭🪴

[@lisaanglim9588]

Wouldn’t the plants in your bedroom do better if you opened the bedroom blinds open?

[@jenny15856]

So excited to see all that grow in all your plants but That euphorbia white ghost 😱😍 omg is in my wishlist 😍😍 I'm trying to find a good one to buy!🌱🫶🏼🫶🏼✨️✨️🌸

[@victoriabrii]

My Soltech light is my favourite thing ever! Also I have that black rainbow pot in peach! 🍑🌿💕 PS where did you get that little grow light that's above your asparagus fern?

[@lleo9703]

Wow, your ctenanthe cuttings are rooting out so well! Question: Do you need to water ctenanthe with distilled water or rain water? I have 3 draceana (not sansevaria kind) and one calathia rattlesnake and to avoid crispy tips have to use distilled water, which I don’t like having to buy. Love to get a ctenanthe like yours but don’t want to add to my water “problem”.

[@wishingonthemoon1]

That streptocarpus sounds amazing. There are primrose eeeeevrywhere here in plant and garden centers and I always want to buy them. And then I don’t 🙃

[@wildfern]

Yes I'm so excited about it! I'm such a sucker for flowering plants 🤭

[@diannklotzbier7447]

A soltech pendant would look great over your monstera albo

[@lamnium]

Hey fern💚 I recently got my hands on two anthriums(clarinervium & dorayaki). I am concerned about room humidity(I have no greenhouse..) but yours seem happy in the room humidity. How much humidity do you have? +) I remember cutting your white ghost and it is so good to see it growing!!

[@lenaleven7191]

Important to not use any chemicals when you are using beneficial bugs. Not for a couple of weeks before and then obviously not during the time you have them in order to not kill them.

[@cowboysdie]

good morning Fern!

[@wildfern]

Good morning! 💚🌿

Where did you get the halo light above the asparagus fern?

Totally OT but ages ago in an older video you showed a Hoya that had the cutest little name tag in the pot. If you know what I’m talking about I’d love to know where it’s from.

[@ronjakh]

Watched a video from another plant person (who’s an English teacher) the other day and he was talking about this thing that’s happening now where people say “this is what it’s looking like”. This is obviously superfluous and not correct English, but now I can’t stop noticing it. I mean, it’s been happening for a while and I’ve always known that it’s wrong, but when someone points it out it’s just 🤯😱

[@wildfern]

Hahaha I know what you mean. There’s things I notice when I watch American planttubers and I’m just like 👀 like “this needs watered” or “this needs repotted” - they tend to leave out “to be” a lot and I ALWAYS notice it 😂🤭
