Fern that’s how my porch is , all summer the sun is high up and when summer starts to end - the sun will come down more and my whole porch is in full sun ☀️ it was a learning curve to say the least lol 😆

@@brooklin_bernek yes!!! Exactly. I started to see it happening and was like uh oh 👀

[@freckledcrafts86]

Every single year gardening and keeping plants outside is a huge learning experience. This year my watering game was off but maybe I set myself up for failure with too much. So many lessons our plants can teach us

[@kendrapayton6446]

I am absolutely loving ❤ these hour long vlogs!!!!!!!!! Can you keep them coming? I have been loving taking care of my plants and extending my collection throughout my home. I have some in my bedroom now!!!!!!!

[@Lady_Lavandula]

I thought your butterfly mug was a pot at first and was really confused when you took a drink out of it. 😂 Also that’s too bad about some of the begonias, but if all the cuttings do well you will likely have some giant plants next year!

[@garynimphie7140]

Being in Phoenix, with over 1000 outdoor succulents, We found this August that not much lives past 115°. What a learning experience!

[@adeanaargle5739]

I lost a lot that normally live outside all year long….. this heat has been crazy!

[@berniea.3255]

I’m in Palm Springs and dealt with extended heat over 115 also. For me, having them in a north facing covered patio with misting fans got them thru! Have mostly Hoyas, Philodendrons, Monsteras and all my rubber trees. Been growing them outside all year long so they might be more acclimated.

[@mariaencinas3068]

Agreed living in Tucson this summer has been a learning experience. Even with a ton of water and shade I had burning on succulents that last year did great in the same place!! Thank goodness for a south facing patio with shade. I was able to keep some outside but water like crazy.

[@paulanoakes5358]

I could almost hear the plants say thanks for the love. I always feel better after a hair trim 😂

[@veruuknapkova625]

i love every single one of your videos, although this one has to be my most favourite so far. it made me feel so calm and comfy, i can’t describe. all the sounds of the nature from the outside made it even more cozy and reminded me the times when i was little and usted to stay outside till the dawn. thank you so much for your work and for making me feel like this🤍

Oh my gosh this is so nice to hear 🥺 thank you 🖤

[@abigailhancock894]

THRIVING on these long videos. Love watching them at work ❤️

[@lisaanglim9588]

Kevin put the trellis in while potting it up. But he does put Cake dowels in the pot if he thinks he’ll need to change the trellis at any time. They are hollow cake dowels and he cuts the cake dowels above the level of the pon. That way they don’t fill with pon when you finish filling the pot. Then you can change the trellis as they grow. He used the self watering pots and he puts the cake dowels into the “legs” where it takes up the water. Hope this helps.

[@onecenteredlife]

Wow! Your begonia trellis is everything!! 😍

[@wildfern]

Thanks so much 😊

[@aingealtara1479]

.. You can leave your Cebu Blue in the corner just above your Maranta.. It's a perfect place, for both of them.. .. Sadly my plants have missed out their outdoor life this year.. Normally they live outside in my garden under a huge parasol and in the shade on my front porch, from the 1st of May to late September beginning of October..

[@magdalenariosmetcalf3088]

It’s probably a good thing you’re bringing the begonias in. Mildew can be an issue as it gets cooler and wetter.

[@urbanmtljungle]

I decided to add some plants on my balcony and it’s been great seeing how well they’ve done this summer. I burned a begonia (because I got some harsh direct sun) but after pruning it, it’s been doing much better. One thing I didn’t expect was how often the wind would come along and knock some plants off my plant shelf 😅 Glad we’re all learning from having plants outside lol

[@tracyr9408]

Just an idea for next year, hang bamboo blinds up on the porch area, then you can control the light and keep things from getting burned, it would really match your style too😉💚

*TW: Pet euthanasia Fern, this video gave a beautiful opportunity to disconnect from my reality. My 23 year old cat, who I have had since I was 5 years old, was sadly put to rest yesterday. I feel so lost and I really don’t have a lot of support in my life, so this hour spent with you has been really nice. I’m sorry to trauma dump. I guess all of this is to say thank you for being you.

[@latanyamckenzie277]

I put all of my plants outside for the first time this year, and they have thrived. I've had spidermites, but I easily cleared them up. Now, to bring them back in. Im in KY. This was a great vlog.

This was so relaxing. It's very therapeutic for me when I repot my plants. I never heard of a hanging jade. Definitely going to be looking for that one!👍😊

[@gabrielapena8494]

I live in Los Angeles and I am so blessed to live in a place where I can keep the majority of my plants outdoors year round. We have been hitting high 90s degrees Fahrenheit everyday and my plants are doing well. I tried to place them in place where they receive morning sunlight. By 12 PM, they are all in shade. Plus I have a massive MONSTER Monstera that provides additional shade to the plants underneath. It is all about knowing what time the sun hits where. Hopefully all your outdoor plants recover!!!! ❤

[@psycheready6958]

I need to do this with my outdoor plants and I'm putting it off...last summer all my plants THRIVED and grew so much outside, but this summer was so hot and rainy...my succulents and even my vegetables are overwatered. It's hard to tell how much sun/heat/rain they are getting out there! Your begonias are so gorgeous!

[@xoxy7361]

I just love all your videos, especially the long videos ❤

[@nathaliebjrkas9781]

The ficus Audrey, i would really stake up for a little while to get them to grow straight up, in the long run its easier for you to have a tree pointing straight up, than to both sides. And, remove the two bottom leaves, they are saying goodbye and it helps it produse more on the top. They actually like to be a bit more moist in the soil than you would expect, mine never dry out completely, and it has been growing so so much :) and they handle direct sun really well, so your really lucky to have the opportunity to make it thrive, and maybe one day be a really large tree 😍

[@plantmommamiranda4573]

I know this video is old but I NEED to know where you got your cactus and succulent shelf?! I would like to make a similar set up this year with mine. 🪴 Also LOVE your videos. I've been watching ALL your long form ones over lately while I have been rearranging my house. It has been SUCH an enjoyable experience!

I live in an apartment with only south facing windows/balcony, and I was too scared to try growing anything on the balcony this spring/summer. It’s been sooooo rainy and windy this whole year (NS🇨🇦) and it’s absolutely miserable compared to most other summers. I don’t think anything would have survived in that weather, even if I did try it 😅 I’m excited to see how yours are doing!! ❤

I put a lot of plants outside for Spring, Summer, and some Fall here. I am fortunate to have a deck where I can place plants that never gets direct sunlight, however it does not take long for them to dry out on blistering days here in Georgia. Other con is having to treat each one before bringing them in, as last year I had a thrip out break in my grown tent (not fun at all). Also bugs love ficus umbellata leaves. LOL

hi!! i just found your channel yesterday and youve really helped on giving me info on how to revive my sickly plants! a really amazing tool for plant propagation is a fishtank!! i swear my life on this. ive had a tank with no fish just some snails and aquatic plant’s running on a filter and heater and basic tank medicine for maybe 1 month and i put multiple cuttings (pothos monsteras 2 more varieties i dont know the name of) in the water and the roots grow 8 cm in literally 2 weeks! i tried propagating them in jars since january and they kept dropping leaves and i was left with just plain stems and nodes. the fishtank brought them back to life in days with new roots and leaves!! you can buy suction cup propagation stuff to help sit nicely, and they looks super cute growing in the water. please look into it aquascaping is extremely rewarding too! ❤

Hi Fern. Love watching all your videos. Thanks for all your plant raising experience and tips. Would you ever consider trying to screen in your verandah so you still have options to keep plants outside.

[@OMM-kl1zu]

Hi Fern. Glad to see you are experimenting placing indoor plants outside during summer. This is only the first year in your new house. What position is your balcony. Mine is facing North-East (South-East in northern hemisphere). This is the perfect position as the plants only receive morning light and are protected from harsh afternoon sun. I have to water them every day as hot temperatures and winds dry out pots very quickly. Begonias are tricky. They love a very shady spot. Maybe, placing them where the maranta is, could be a better position. Also, I love your lavender top. 💜🪴💜

Love how you rehabed the sun damaged plants. They look amazingly good. I am anxious to see how they do. I think you had to just cut them and redo them so they wouldn't just rot away from the sun damage. The first plant you did that you took cuttings from--kind of poka-dot one. Could you have saved a bottom on it too? It may come back. I just went through all my plants and some new ones I have had a couple of weeks and trimmed, or cut anything bad or from transport that did not look good. It all looks so fresh and nice now. I have some cuttings to pot now. A plant Grandma's work is never done. LOL
