[@wildfern]

Thank you so much 🙏 I’m being hard on myself because I’ve finally become consistent and don’t want to ruin that 😫 but you’re right, I will take space if I need it. Thank you so much x

[@ioanaanghel]

@@wildfern on the other hand, if you need to talk, sometimes strangers have the best ears for that. I found you recently and binge watched almost everything of yours and I honestly see a woman trying so hard. At everything. And pushing down feelings. I know because I do it too everyday. So if you need space, take it, if you need to talk, I'll listen. One thing is for certain: you won't succeed at everything right now so pick some and let some go. For now. You're amazing and you'll pull through! ❤️

[@rotay701]

For me when my adansonii was putting out runners and no leaves, it turned out to be because she was really root bound and wasn’t getting enough nutrients from the soil. She started living her best life after I repotted her ❤️

[@jessicatollefson5304]

Hey, Fern! Just wanted to say how much I adore watching your videos. I went from three houseplants to 95+ this year. I've been perusing your videos ever since I discovered your channel. Good luck on this new chapter of yours. Wishing you all the best, from one plant mom to another. XX

I’ve never made a propagation box before, but this makes me want to try it! I know I’ve seen people root leafless nodes in them before, so you might try throwing those in too and see what happens

[@wildfern]

Yes, I've been itching to try it too so I'm excited to finally have one going :) And that's amazing!

[@licely]

@@wildfern yes! I propagate leafless nodes all the time! Sometimes I even take off the leaf to save room. I was like “nooo!” When I saw u tossing those top cuttings from the Monstera and Philo. Brazil.. lol Cant wait to see your update🤗 I love Prop. Boxes!💚

I started one last week I couldn't get my hands on plain spag I had to use a spag\pete mixture but everything is doing freaking amazing it's so exciting watching everything root. The leaf on my addinsonia rotted in the box &I was gonna throw him away when I noticed a new growth point! So he lives to see another day. I also have pothos & hoya in the box & the pothos even opened a new leaf. 🌿💚

Enjoyed the video! I plan on doing my own this week also. Just an idea.. you should totally do some water propogationswith the same plants you put in the box and do a comparison video on how they do or if there’s any noticeable differences. Sending good vibes your way!

[@ayssasabarretto676]

hey, wish you all the best! I'm so excited to see how the propagations are doing in the box :)

The monstera adasonii is looking for something to climb on. That is what they want to do when they just hang with no trellis and the place gets darker as they grow. The begonia tamaya needs to be staked if you want it to grow straight.

[@wildfern]

I really need to sort both of them out and stake em. Thank you!!

[@knitwit2871]

Oh also I've propagated begonias before and I just take a cutting and I leave about a half inch of stem and put it in wet soil and I've always had them root for me!

Awesome! Can't wait until mine root up

I definitely need to try this propagation method!

[@76alison]

What's the benefit of propagating in moss rather than water? Nutrients maybe? I've only propagated in water as of yet.... super interesting and I look forward to your update. You seem preoccupied with life, hope it sorts itself out soon for you. Sending good vibes.

[@wildfern]

I think moss is good because it offers moisture but also a lot of air to the roots because of the spaces between the pieces of moss.

[@MegLee7]

Sending you all the love Fern 💚

[@wildfern]

Thank you xo

[@tieashasamuels2627]

Great idea. Should I soak/pre wet the moss prior or keep it dry & mist like you did?

Yes, definitely dampen it! I wet it off screen, sorry that wasn't clear!

Your adansonii isn't putting on leaves because it needs a support to climb on 😊 It strives with something to climb on rather than being a hanging plant. You can do a diy sphegna moss tutor with a pvc tube and a metal grill (sorry I'm French so I don't know how it's called in English).
