I traded for my top wishlist plant of 2023 🍊

[@dakotasplants]

🥺🥺🥺 Writing comments as I watch lol 1. I'm glad the string of pearls arrived well! I was really nervous about pearls falling off when packing that one but it looks like it arrived perfect!! 2. The Orange marmalade got a little crumpled on the new leaf 😦I hope it turns out ok hardened off! The orange is literally sooo vibrant on new leaves. I can't wait for you to watch them come in! 3. The Clarinervium was a bonus! I repotted my big Clarinervium a week before shipping and it had been growing that pup... And I do remember you talking about how you regretted getting rid of your last one so I thought you might like to start another one. 😅 4. The Silver bay got crumpled too, I'm sorry! I had such a hard time wrapping up that monster 😂 I have been growing mine in mostly low light and they tolerate it totally fine - but they grow so much faster in bright light! I'm so glad you love everything and it arrived well. I had so much fun doing this trade!!

[@wildfern]

Omg!! They are all perfection - don't be hard on yourself! The new leaf on the marm is already looking great :) And it's honestly so nice that you thought to send me your clarinervium pup what the heck 🤧

[@plantyrae]

Dakota needs more subs! 💚💚💚

[@wildfern]

Agreeee!!

[@user-KayMelan11]

Beauttifuuuullllll. Just subscribed to his channel. I’m so excited😊😊😊

[@Andrea-ud9lp]

The Orange marmalade philo really reminds me of the Prince of orange, like the Prince of orange's better looking cousin

[@wildfern]

Yes hahah totally! When I first got into plants I really wanted the prince of orange and never ended up getting one. Now it's like I have something similar but better haha :)

[@niconeuner207]

I instantly thought of the painted lady XD

[@amyberg1429]

I thought it was a prince of orange...that's my wish list plant now ill have to get both

[@samanthaunger8143]

The silver bay is by far one of the easiest, prettiest most prolific grower I’ve ever owned. Moderate lighting, and room humidity. That plant is so underrated bc it’s common I think but it’s so beautiful ❤

[@stacey8073]

Those string of pearls 😍. Dakota is a wizard to be able to grow that so beautifully

[@Brittany_B]

I love my silver bay! It's absolutely beautiful but so overlooked! I got mine a little over a year ago...my husband brought it home to me because a bank had thrown it out and he thought I would like it. It was huge...like 5 feet tall or so...but it was leggy because it had lost so many lower leaves. I looked on the pot and it was the original and had a tag from 2016...so it was like six years old. There were no pests but it was super pot bound! I repotted it and cut it down to the ground and propagated the upper portions. I think I now have six of them including the mother who has grown back, full and lush. They grow so well where others won't and again, they're so beautiful and not fussy.

[@pablocolon649]

Hi , am new on your channel. Am 65 years old, and learning to start my plant journey. Thank you for sharing.

[@plantaisle]

will you show us how you grow corms?

[@MaryGatdula]

YES! PLEASE!

[@Aquamarine.Aubrey]

What fabulous plants he traded you! 😍 I'm going to go check out the ones you gave him now! 👀

[@natashaoreilly7072]

Omg 🥹 Dakota did such a good job packaging!! What a beautiful package 💚 I can’t wait to see your orange marmalade on a pole too 🥰

[@wildfern]

He is a packaging pro lol! Thank you Natasha

[@SHARKAST1C]

I'm watching this because I just spent a bunch of money on plants, and now that I've watched this, I want to go plant shopping 😢. That's such a beautiful box!!!!

[@jacobdadow8720]

My Dragon’s Breath is so rewarding to grow. She goes through dormancy with no leaves for me and freaks me out every year, but she’s so full and happy this year. I’m so delighted you get to share that joy as well!

[@KrisChris_plantaddict]

Beautiful plants! I love that you mention other plant channels. I just subscribed to his channel after watching this. He has incredibly well cared for plants 🪴 💖🌿

[@michellecastro2475]

Love all the newbies. I definitely want the silver bay. Just love the silver and eventually tackle the string of pearls. 🥰

[@lisaanglim9588]

Make sure the sting of pearls need full sunlight on the crown an it will be happy

[@wildfern]

Thank you Lisa, will do! 🌞

[@dianewilson3769]

Beautiful! Your a lucky girl to have such a special friend!❤

[@NataliaLavrovaBeauty]

Such beautiful plants! I can’t wait to check out Dakota’s channel. What an immaculate job packing those plants 😮❤🪴

[@michelleburris1056]

All the plants are beautiful! I love my Ag Silver Bay as well. She is simply beautiful and growing new leaves like crazy this summer. Its so nice to be able to trade for your wishlist plants.

[@jpgypsyxo]

You got some good ones! I’m so glad you love the Agleonema! They are such easy growing plants. They are EXTREMELY drought tolerant too. I live in south Louisiana and it’s sooooo damn hot that mine was so dry it was completely wilted over. After watering, it bounced right back. I have the jubilee (similar to silver bay with more variegation) and the tigress! I also just recently got a no Id philo and can’t tell if it’s a prince or orange or orange marmalade.

[@wildfern]

Oh yay, that makes my little underwatering heart happy lol

[@Tammy-rq9mu]

Sure wish I had a friend like Dakota😂, enjoy your plants, their very nice! Love from Nova Scotia🇨🇦

[@wildfern]

Love plant friends :) Thank you for watching!!

[@thevahandbook]

That Orange Marmalade is gorgeous! Aglaonema are my favourite plants and the Silver Bay is actually on my wish list for after I move in a couple of weeks time - it's stunning. My Super White Aglaonema is my favourite out of my collection (and I have a sensational collection of plants) but I also have my eye on a Chocolate Aglaonema as well as the Aglaonema Stripes too. Reliable, beautiful and rewarding... my favourite kinda plant!

[@wildfern]

Thank you! And wow, just looked up the super white - really cool. Aglaonema's are sure growing on me lately :)

[@berkleynisson9654]

My grandma has an Aglaonema Silver Bay and it grows so fast for her and it’s so beautiful!! I keep thinking about asking for a cutting! Hers has a stem that curved down out of the pot and curved back up. It’s so funky and cute

[@joyceleneave2147]

Gorgeous plants! Thanks for sharing with us 😊

[@lisaslabaugh233]

The agleonema silver bay is one of my favorite plant in my collection 😍 I am always gushing over it & it’s so so easy to care for!!

[@wildfern]

Amazing to hear it's easy for you! I can't get over the foliage on it, sooo pretty!

[@victorbroken0012]

If you like the silver bay you HAVE TO check out a agleonema ghost frosted. They are even more beautiful imo anyways

[@wildfern]

OMG just googled and now I neeeed one!

[@RachelWhetzel]

I love that his labels double as stake labels!

[@BeyondBeleaf]

Our orange marmalade is regularly putting out 2 foot long leaves, still increasing with each one! Its one of our favorite specimens!

[@LulaMae21]

Nice plants! The hospital where I work has some silver bay and other aglaonema that are 3-4 feet across lol. Also a fiddle leaf fig that is like 7-8 feet tall!

[@wildfern]

Omg they sure can get massive lol!

[@vivy5424]

The plant stickers are so cute. Loved the video, greetings from Finland!

[@freckledcrafts86]

Gorgeous plants and I've never heard of Dakota so hooray more planty accounts 🎉

[@jameshuebner8194]

Watching your face filled with joy as you unpacked made my day :)

[@videosrfunfunfun]

Very beautiful plants and such nice packaging too. I have wanted a string of pearls for a long time. I hope you have great success with yours too. Maybe I will try one. :-)

[@wildfern]

Thank you so much! My fingers are crossed for the pearls 🤞

[@ms89012]

I have a silver bay aglonema too! I got mine off a "freebie" table at a local swap. At first I wasn't sure if I would keep it but it's become one of my favorites. Super easy to care for but I will warn you it will grow quickly!

[@Maryz0lSunny]

I'm so excited you got the SOP! You can easily prop SOP in moss in case you want to take some cuttings! I have my SOP in full sun and it's been 90F here for a week now in San Diego, CA. I've had mine for a year now and so far no sun damage or loss of pearls! Good luck with your new trade❤

[@vicky3792]

Love love my orange marmalade. They are so easy and grow so fast. Enjoy.

[@wildfern]

Oh you have one too!? Fun. Can't wait to watch mine mature :)

[@marsf4883]

Such nice plants! They all look really good. Excellent packaging for sure. Yay for plant friends 😊

[@wildfern]

Thank you :) and yes, yay for plant friends indeed!

[@fannikeresztes1622]

I have the Aglaonema silver bay and love it 😍 such an easy to care for plant! Mine grows pretty fast and it never had any troubles, definitely can handly harder times! 😁 I thing it's better to keep is at a lower place so that you can appreciate its beautiful foliage from the top! 😉

[@kristarepp2607]

Omg can’t wait to see you grow out those Alocasia corms! And that marmalade is so pretty!!

[@tooo0f]

I love the lamination on those stickers! I recently got an alocasia pin for my backpack and it's stunning! Alocasia is definitely my favourite plant family I have four of them in my tiny collection.

[@wildfern]

The stickers are so pretty that I don't even want to stick them anywhere hahah!

[@wishingonthemoon1]

Awesome! When I grew the dragons breath from corm, it grew a gorgeous first leaf, lost it, and then took a long time to recover and grow another leaf-so don’t give up hope. The roots were probably the best roots I’ve ever seen from a corm, so I don’t know if it was an outlier or specific to this type of alocasia.

[@destaneewallace9222]

GIRL, I work for a nursery and the silver bay is hands down my #1 plant I sell. It doesn't need shit!!! Low light-no problem. Forget to water-no problem. Such an awesome plant!!! I myself, just picked up a Ring of Fire today and I'm hype!

[@wildfern]

Omg yassss - we love to hear it!! This is the kind of plant I need right now hahah

[@tim_meister]

i love the silver bay aglaonema

[@sandylockhart3172]

I have a silver bay. I find it’s an easy care plant. I also have the green and variegated string of pearls which I heard do well in an east facing window. Mine like the east facing window. Enjoy your beautiful new plants 🪴💚

[@wildfern]

Oh great to hear - thank you!

[@joannhutchings3693]

Love your new haul. I have the silver bay agleonema, love the agleonema's, they like to dry out before re-watering. 😊

[@wildfern]

Amazing - thank you!!

[@jomassey4207]

Agleonemas are so underrated. I have a silver bay too and they grow so easily. Just no direct light. They like to be kept moist and talked to. Lol😂

[@jonnabutler6292]

Silver Bay is a wonderful plant to have. I’ve had several for years.

[@rosewagner4018]

Yay I’m so happy for you! I personally love agleonema. I have a silver bay and a few others. They are the easiest to care for too! But I have to tell you Fern! Last week a friend bought me an Algeonema Pictum Tricolor!!!! Oh my gosh! I would never ever buy it for myself. It is stunning! I stare at the leaves daily and I am amazed at its beauty! Nature is amazing! 💚🌱💚

[@wildfern]

Oh no wayyy - that is so awesome that you got the pictum tricolor! I don't doubt that it is phenomenal to see in person :) I can sense more aglaonema hopping onto my wishlist in the future lol...

[@newt52864]

Love the agleonema, I do not have one but ❤❤❤ I like to start with babies also and watch them grow !!!

I just moved to Canada, and as a planty person i have been stalking your channel to find out where to get things around here. I also recently stumbled upon Dakota’s channel! Thank you guys for being so awesome and knowledgeable 😊

[@wildfern]

Welcome to Canada! And thank you for watching :)

[@itsaxZOMBIE]

@@wildfern always! I’ve learned so much from your channel and i am very grateful 🥹

[@moominsean]

I love my Orange Marmalade, such a great plant! Recently I've noticed that i think there are two different versions of this plant. I've had mine for a couple years and every leaf from the beginning has been large and the internodal spacing is really tight. I now see plants that have the same color and being sold as Quad Color that are more vining and grow tall. So I think they are actually different plants though they look to have similar bright orange leaves. Or there is another hybrid that has the same leaves and they are being sold interchangeably, Regardless, very cool!

[@wildfern]

Interesting! I'm really excited to see how this one grows for me, it will be so cool to see it mature. Thank you for watching :)

[@seizedcarcass8440]

Aglonema are super hardy plants. One thing I can tell you is give them airy soil. I don’t have silver bad but I do like them. A friend of mine has a huge one.

[@sheilalefebvre8667]

Ahhh how fun - I looove crystal star! And no sadly not :( buuut I didn't use a base or top coat like I normally do because my nail supplies were still packed. I'll be giving it another go while doing it properly to test it again because I love the colour so much!

[@stephanielopez8799]

So happy you finally got your orange marmalade! ❤ I got mine because of you mentioning it (and how gorgeous the plant is) and have had it about 6 months 💕

[@wildfern]

Yesss yay I'm so glad I have one now! That's awesome that you're growing one too :)

[@katejwb717]

I also have a silver bay that I got in a trade! It’s a champion even in lower light and like others have said, very easy to grow.

[@cheyennehuot1576]

New plant mom here. Can you please explain what a corm is?

[@dakotasplants]

A corm is how Alocasias reproduce, sort of like seeds. They grow in the soil and when you repot you can collect them and stick them in a potting medium. They will grow into more plants :)

[@wildfern]

Oh nooo lol, non-plant folk just don't get it. I hope you heal quickly from your surgery!!

[@shanoncollier769]

Thanks. It's a total reconstructive surgery on my right foot, so it's a 3 to 6 month recovery. I have a baby orange marmalade and I got my sundew today, they don't ship well at all. I recommend if you want one you buy in person.
