My Houseplant Routine | How I Care For 100+ Plants!

[@wildfern]

Do you have a daily routine? What does it look like? Let me know!! 👇

[@kendravoracek3636]

Well daily check for pest and once a week wipe down fust off Then water when needed which isn't often since it's still winter here. 🙃

[@wildfern]

@@kendravoracek3636 I need to look for pests more for sure lol 🥲

[@kaitlinlawless]

My routine is actually really similar to yours! My first priority is filling the humidifier and turning the grow lights on. Then walk around and see what has to be done, or what I can procrastinate on lol 🙃

[@laurenjohnson5880]

Definitely have to fill one of my humidifiers daily, save the major watering/pest checks for the weekend when I have more time, but I do a daily glance over everything and admire how pretty all the plants are :)

[@ahiddenstem]

I'm also a v routine human, wake up, coffee, check humidifiers, start work, mid day break to do watering/go for a walk, finish work, make dinner, do either house chores or plant chores, yoga or meditation, read, skin care routine, bedddddd 🙌

[@ThePursuitofJoy]

👁️ am so with you on routine and healthy habits! And I love how you said that: "There's something about keeping promises to ourselves..." 💚💚💚

[@emmasplantz]

watched this as I was repotting a plant. so relaxing. I always check on my plants first thing in the morning, makes me feel so happy :)

[@wildfern]

Yes it's so fun to check on everyone 💓

[@writegirl2937]

Fern, it is so admirable how you take such great care of 100+ plants! I have 20 houseplants, and as a newbie plant mom who still has a lot to learn, that is enough for me!! Well,I am not exactly a newbie but I often feel like I am. I started having house plants about 35 years ago, but didn't know how to take care of them, but now since my children are grown and gone, I have the time and many learning resources to help me!..... Best to you, young lady! I always enjoy your videos!☘️🧡

[@wildfern]

Oh that's so awesome! Thank you for sharing & for watching 🥰

[@erinjoy5625]

I'm just learning aswell. I have 8 total now...although I started sticking with more cactus n aloe type plants because I find I have an over watering problem . My 9 year old son bought me a beautiful African Violet however , I Dnt think she's goin to survive. I believe I let her get too dry, so switched her to a new pot with new soil and watered her as she did have new growth so I had high hopes, then my dog came and knocked her down, so I'm guessing she prob won't make it FRM all the stress. However , got a philodendron Birkin, and really did alot of research to make sure I take good care of her . Wish me luck. If I do well I plan on finnally adding a few more actual plant types 🤞🤞🌵💚

I love this style of video, it's slightly different than what you normally do and it's so so so cute. I am sure you put so much effort into this video I loved it

[@wildfern]

I did, thank you so much for noticing 💚

[@ashbylane3659]

i've got to say how much i loved seeing the propagations with such amazing LIGHTING. i get waaaay to excited about roots! I could watch just props endlessly.

[@MyFellowFoliage]

I really like how you "landscape" your indoor plants. It feels so tidy yet jungley vibes!

[@penni7155]

I finally got one of those little squirt bottles and omg I don't know how I lived without it!! I planted a bunch of mixed cacti seeds and once big enough I put each of them in 2 inch terra Cotta pots. Watering them was always difficult with a regular watering can. But with the squirt bottle I can water easily and just the right amount. Thank you for sharing these little bottles!!!

[@wildfern]

Exactly!! They're one of my favourite plant tools, I have been meaning to get even bigger ones haha.

[@wandashaw3551]

If I don't have daily routines, I am so lost! It works great for me. Love plant chores day with you!! Helps me to keep up with my own.

[@amyn.1811]

Hey Fern, one tip regarding your shower head…you can find online a hose shower head. It’s super renter friendly and easy to install. Hope that helps 🥰

[@PlantFriendDownTheStreet]

Finally a chill, rainy day to catch up on some plant vids while I work 🪴

[@kerrypontarolo3098]

Interesting sponsor! I am one who need this more in my life right now… so I’m trying it out! Thanks so much for this opportunity ❤️ I’m going to need a good push but hopefully things will start aligning and I’ll be back to myself soon 👍🏻

[@wildfern]

You've got this Kerry!! 👏 Just make sure you start small and don't add too much at once (the app will coach you through that, too!) I've found that keeping one or two small commitments to myself is so much more beneficial than setting big goals and failing. It builds self confidence and self love. Good luck & thanks for watching x

[@wildfern]

Yassss 👏 I love it!!

[@AdahliaBiPunk]

Watching this late at night while watering some plants that need it. Even set reminders to water certain plants and my phone just like didn't go off for the reminders??? So my Aglaonema and Alocasia missed their waterings by a couple weeks. Thankfully I keep my room at 70% humidity or more and my plants are very well established so I didn't really see any issues from missing watering them. Have some new projects going on, I repotted a cute Alocasia micholitziana baby from my mother plant, hoping that takes and I can sell it locally. I also I have a gorgeous, new Aglaonema 'Cutlass' I'm moving into my room after repotting it. Love seeing all the new leaves, crazy aerial root growth on all my philodendron, and flowers. My Schlumbergera truncata 'Orange' randomly decided to flower way out of season?? So currently enjoying the sight of those gorgeous flowers. Love seeing all your updates and how you get excited about the same things I do. I don't have any local plant friends so your videos make me feel like I have someone i'm "close to" that enjoys their houseplants the same way I do. Also LOVE your earrings in the beginning, they're so cute!!! Random question as well, have you noticed on any of your philodendron or monstera that some of their roots grow out the top of the pot?? Not the bottom, but the top??? A bunch of my philodendron and my Monstera deliciosa have aerials that grew down into the soil, hungout for a bit, then came right back out and are like draping over the edge of the pot??? Its so weird and confusing and I haven't been able to find any info online of this happening to other people.

[@christofern3912]

Love listening to your videos while drinking my coffee and watering my plants

[@wildfern]

A vibeeeee ✨☕️

[@hannah988]

Fern! I’m in a rental too and just installed a detachable shower head (it’s magnetic!) and it was super easy. Just stuck the normal head in a drawer to put back when I move out eventually. It was the best thing for me, my dog (he’s a BIG boy and gets baths in the tub), and my plants. Mine was Moen and was about $40 bucks. Highly recommend!

[@wildfern]

Omg!! Thanks for sharing, I'm going to look into this 👀 would be sooo handy!!

[@elwood9408]

I love how much you enjoy admiring and caring for your plants!! highly recommend getting a shower head replacement that gives you the detachable option, if it is possible in your bath.

[@beachpurls]

you are the dragonscale QUEEN!!!!

[@thaiidyxD]

Fern! For the silver sword cuttings, try putting one or two golden pothos cuttings in the water along with it! It's going to help root since pothos produce rooting hormone super fast! I do this with all my cuttings and it works like magic.

[@irrationallyhappy]

Omg your hair with the bandana is SO. CUTE.

[@smigginss]

I saw fuzzy white stuff on the cut parts of your silver sword and just wanted to give a heads up, you need to change the water, sterilize the container or switch to a different one, and wash your cuttings until you can't see the fuzzy stuff on in any more when it's in water. It's bacteria that is slowly eating away at your plant and will eventually kill it. I made the mistake of ignoring it thinking it was nothing and lost all of my cuttings.

[@katiewilliams9273]

I don't know if someone already commented this but you can get a sprayer that you can hook up to your shower for 10 bucks usually, then when you move just put the old one back on and take the new one with you . Thanks for the video

[@rhondafisher72]

Really enjoy watching plant chore videos.

[@georginaburrows]

Thanks for all the relaxing content Fern! I’m a 26 year old dietitian (very much relate to u when u talked about ur former job in healthcare lol) with only like 10 plants so far.

My silver swords were so slow to root in water too and i lost alot of leaves, ended up wet stick propping them in my prop box with sphagnum mossand they took off! So much better in my experience than water

[@aggiehasselfield731]

Best houseplant routine video out there 🙌 Very informative

[@wildfern]

Wow, thank you!

[@justplaincalina]

Though not as frequent, this is very similar to my routine. Minus the finesse. 😆 Lots of getting sidetracked, stumbling and swearing. I'm working on dialing it in. Finally got all of my succulents and cacti repotted and refreshed. And got everyone on a regular IPM and dusting schedule. That has really got me back on track. Also, that coffee mug is my favorite thing! ☕️ 🤩

My routine.....get up & spend 1 hr with my dog & eating breakfast while watching videos. Upstairs to get ready for work at a job I find very stressful -- dealing with the public can really suck. Get home around 9pm,eat dinner & spend time with hubby & dog. Another 1/2 hr watching videos ,then to bed. Now you know another reason why I love your videos--- they help me get a peaceful vibe to either start or end my day. (husband works from home so dog gets lots of attention)

My morning routine looks basically the same! I literally wake up THREE hours before I have to be at work just so I have some "alone time" with my plants😂 is that crazy?? Lol..I come downstairs, B-line for the espresso maker, sit down for a few minutes in my sun area and watch a few planty KZbinrs, then when I've had about half of my cup of coffee I get up and walk around and check out my plants to see what needs to be done! It's seriously my favorite way to start my day😊💚

Hey Fern

[@crochetqueen6440]

I love that you're trialling new fertiliser! I'm doing the same at the moment.. Am hard out copying you and Sydney plant guy lol, have just transferred all my climbing plants to moss poles (and thanks for the tip about only watering your plank from about halfway, I put some on long poles and I watered from the top and it toppled over haha no idea why I didn't think about the fact it was pointless as well!) and because I'm in New Zealand I can access the GT tech Foliage Focus that Sydney plant guy uses and it's DEFINTELY giving me results! I also use the fertiliser for clones/cuttings as well that GT does called I think CCS, you can mist your cuttings with it on their foliage and they drink it right up. I work from home too so my daily routines look a lot like yours - checking and doing what is needed when needed. Thanks for the video!

Hey girl this was so calming to watch! But I do want to give people an FYI about using tap water in your humidifier, namely, don't. While the minerals / chemicals in tap water are safe to drink, they can be toxic once inhaled and can cause a lot of air pollution in your house (You can check out a study from the University of Alberta about it 🙂). And if you have any sort of respiratory issues (i.e. asthma) over time it can be really aggravating to the condition. Also, besides the mineral residue, aerated tap water can promote the growth of mold and bacteria around your house. So please, please be careful and safe when using your humidifiers! I know buying distilled water is a total pain but better safe than sorry😁

[@wildfern]

No wayyyyyy, I've never heard of this before! Thanks for sharing 👀 gonna look into it.

My P silver sword took me over 8 months to prop it the first time.

Hey Fern! Love your videos! I'm new (last June) to plant parenting. I live in the Ozarks so we get lots of humidity in Summer but Winter is so dry. Is it normal for most plants to just kinda do nothing in Winter? Also, I don't see anything that looks like a bug, other than a fruit fly that I used mosquito bits to kill. When you get the thrips or something, can you show us what they look like? I've seen pictures but not on a plant. Can you teach us how to look?? Please show us what they look like on the plant and how you get rid of them? I'm a grandma so teach this old dog new tricks, sweet girl. Love ya.

[@pencilonpaper1026]

It's pretty normal for plants to do nothing in winter :) some go dormat or even lose all their leaves so I wouldn't worry too much! just research what your plant does in winter and it should be fine. hope that helps.
