My Philodendron Collection

[@denlillagrodan]

When this year started I didn’t know what a philodendron was, now I have 11 of them I believe 😅

[@wildfern]

Hahaha. That reminds me of when I was trying to take my plants over the border and the guard kept asking what the "common" name was, I kept telling him Philodendron and he was just so confused.

[@marissachippy9372]

Same. Same.

[@pottymouthedplanter]

Awww hehehe welcome to your new addiction!!! Lol

[@jenb6034]

Same here!

[@sallyalwayswins]

When you said “it just ended up coming home with me” about your Philo Brazil, I felt that 😂 I have 3 raphidophora tetraspermas now cause self control is hard lol

[@wildfern]

Hahaha right!

[@brendawilliam5931]

It stems from seeing a plant fuller, healthier or variegated from the one you have at home. 😊

[@averilt]

philos need high humidity and bright light to stay huge, and to prevent reversion don't give more nitrogen than needed. N brings out the green... i have learned this the hard way!

[@sierra734]

Thanks

[@wildfern]

Thank you so much!

[@888fluffy]

btw for your philo brazil, if you want the leaves to get larger, you need to attach it to a moss pole or something and let it grow upwards. When a plant's aerial roots have securely attached to something, it will feel safe enough to grow large, heavy leaves. Until then it will make small leaves that are less likely to break or topple.

[@perhapssabrina]

The Rio is actually a different hederaceum than the silver stripe. The silver stripe will typically just have a small sliver of cream with the typically green majority. It can differ and randomly put out a bit more variegation. The cream splash is a much more variegated version with more lime green and cream than the silver stripe. The Rio is patented by Gabriella’s Plants and although people use it interchangeably, they are much different in person. The Rio is way more cool toned and the variegation is super interesting. They also don’t elongate as weirdly as the others. If you visit Texas, I won’t hesitate to share some cuttings with you!

[@wildfern]

Ohh awesome info - thanks so much! x

[@rebeccashapiro5281]

I have a beautiful rio sport that I got from Gabriella Plants. It is lovely and I have not seen any reversion. I did not know it was patented. Good info, thank you.

[@sierra734]

Thanks I found one of these yesterday at the supermarket 16$ Not exactly sure which one , for a full pot it’s still confusing but a good deal either way at the moment.

your pink princess leaves look so much redder than other PPPs ive seen!

[@wildfern]

Yeah not sure what's going on with her lol.

[@onlyplants]

Re: Philodendron silver stripe - Bright light keeps the variegation, I give mine direct sunlight and they love it. When kept in lower light they tend to revert. Also when you let the Brazil climb up it will give you bigger leaves. Love this video, drooling at your silver sword 🤤🤤🤤

[@wildfern]

Amazing - thank you so much Sean! And right omg I can't stop admiring the silver sword!

[@adampic6867]

UR SO COOL. Also ur collection is so awesome, I’m jealous and I need a silver sword asap!!

[@wildfern]

[@laurenjohnson4874]

I love philodendron, it's too bad there are so many expensive varieties right now! I love my heartleaf and Brazil though. I got the heartleaf in a big 8" hanging basket for $11 at my local grocery store and it is so long and full

[@wildfern]

Yes honestly Philodendron is special because both the common and uncommon varieties are so lovely.

[@natalietownsend7231]

Dang girl.... That hair looks so good on you!

[@wildfern]

Thank you so much!

[@Kand1210]

I just got a micans, and the leaves are so beautiful. I can stop petting them. lol 🌱🥰💕

[@wildfern]

Yes they are sooo soft and lovely haha

[@ldcu-katetrinidad1101]

Philodendrons can be a bit expensive but they are so easy to care for and has been giving me so many beatiful leaves ❤️😊

[@wildfern]

Yes they are truly so forgiving and rewarding :)

[@Rhumnchoke]

Feeeeern, you’ve won my heart with this video ! I’m the biggest fan of philodendrons and yours are beautiful ❤️Just in the last month, I acquired a pink princess (in leca also, she’s very happy), a huge silver sword, a philodendron Florida ghost, Florida ghost mint and a few mican’s cuttings ! I love them ! 🤍

[@wildfern]

Oh my goodness, I can't wait until I replace my Florida ghost. Those are all so lovely!

[@lizfraire2931]

Try giving the philos more light for bigger leaves✨ also I found if you group them together the humidity would be just fine! No need for pebble trays or humidifiers(although they love it lol) Love your whole aesthetic girl!!🤍

[@nonnisnestegg2676]

You’re really getting creative! Love the intro and your hair is beautiful! My Brazil ha such small leaves compared to yours!! Can you do a video on winter care; watering, fertilizing, light, etc.

[@wildfern]

Awe thank you so much!!

[@janequeenii2493]

Fern if you want, make a fave lipsticks and hand or lip swatches with your fave plants in the background video ❤️🤎🧡

[@angygvalmo3342]

You're giving me 70s vibes with the turtle neck and the hair. I love it!!

[@susanzielbauer9256]

GrEaT Vid Fern!! Omg that second Brazil is Gorgeous!! I’m a Philo Lover myself, I finally got a Philo Micans, so HaPpY, been wanting one for quite awhile! Found a 4” rooted one thro Etsy 👩‍🌾💚

[@wildfern]

That's so exciting! I love Micans!

[@VBrown4192]

Loved this video! Philodendron for the win!

[@wildfern]

Glad you enjoyed it! And I agreeee

[@greentape7817]

You mentioned maybe having your Brasil climb instead of trail, that should encourage it to grow larger leaves. Interesting that the silver stripe reverts so easily, I find my Brasil gets less variegated over winter but like, un-reverts again when summer comes back. That silver sword is INSANE ugh drool.

[@wildfern]

Yes I really want to stake it up somewhere so we shall see how that goes, I think it will enjoy climbing. And that's interesting haha. Thank you so much for watching!

[@marthamiriam8983]

I like your idea of combining the Brasils together and making a huge pot that would look stunning ✨if I ever come across a silver sword I am definitely getting it💚💚💚💚. Love your videos!

[@wildfern]

Yes you definitely should grab a silver sword - they're so lovely!

[@jr_0033]

Clicked on this faster than any other videos! Love when you post 🌱🌱

[@wildfern]

Awww thank you!!

[@charityhall3015]

My brasil does the same thing!! The new growth is sooo small. Still very cute though :)

[@wildfern]

Haha awe. Yeah I think I'm going to try making it climb..

[@Ambuttx]

I have heard with a lot of vining plants if you give them something to climb they get bigger leaves. I haven’t tried but that’s what I read!

[@Ch33Ch22]

I've heard that if you put a pothos cutting or two in the water w your propogations that you get roots quicker. Perhaps it may help w your Florida Beauty 😉 Couldn't hurt to try right lol Another great video - thanks Fern 👍

[@kristathompson9888]

Hmmmm not sure which one is my favourite, but I do love my Birkin 💚💚💚

[@laurenp.4880]

I found a philodendron prince of orange at my local grocery store. I’m new to philodendron so it was interesting to find ☺️

[@crazyplantlady4382]

tips they are very eazy just let the soil dry between waterings and give bright indirect sun

[@wildfern]

Oh lovely 😊

[@reginagosse417]

Loved the intro.. sets the mood to sit back and enjoy!!

[@wildfern]

Glad you liked it!!

[@aleidansonii3343]

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS OMG they inspire me so much and you have a beautiful vibe!

[@wildfern]

Thank you so much!!

[@Ali-enAdventures]

okay so first your philo collection is such goals 😍 silver stripe & cream splash are very similar. you can only get a rio from gabriella plants. Its a certain varigation only their green house cultivates I guess I have a story I want to share bc I don't have any plant friends irl. I went to a plant swap & traded a 10 node cutting of my ss for a monstera leaf right at the start because I had no idea how sought after they were. then a girl offered me a full pot of micans for another ss cutting I had on hand. I was like wait a minute.... I checked etsy after I got back home and I saw a one leaf cuttings going for 20 usd! The monstera leaf ended up rotting and I've been cringing about that trade ever since 😭

[@wildfern]

Thanks so much for watching & for the info. And oh my gosh! You definitely gave those people a good deal lol.

[@brendawilliam5931]

Would love to see more collection content with care instructions!

[@bennobrown6330]

The trailing philos actually need to climb to get big! So they eventually end up as jsut a runner with tiny leaves if you let it trail

[@lilithfabian9021]

are there any exceptions?

[@bennobrown6330]

@@lilithfabian9021 oh I'm not sure! But definately with the hederaceum/brasil/Rio/Micans if they climbed their leaves mature in size but if they trail they shrink untill they find somewhere to climb. It tends to be with most climbing plants. Like a monstera adansonii etc the leaves can get huge if they climb but if they trail they reduce in size with every leaf

[@wildfern]

Oh dear. I am definitely going to get it to climb. It's so misleading because you buy them from the greenhouse with massive trailing leaves, then bring them home and they just put out small growth lol.

[@bennobrown6330]

@@wildfern I kind of cheat it and grow it up the sides of a macrame hanger for a few months and then when I want it trailing I put it down. In perfect conditions it probably doesnt lose too much size but in rainy cold england I notice such a difference between the hanging vs the climbing haha

[@something.about.plants2495]

Ahhhh so beautiful! My favorite right now is prob Micans...so velvety and the colors 😍

[@wildfern]

They are so beautiful. Can't wait until mine is a large basket in like 5 years looool

[@ceciliabrasier6745]

I've expanded my Hoya collection since your video and I fell into some Micans for cheap!! I love them. I started a Philodendron wish list. We'll see how that goes 😏. I've never rooted in moss before, so you just cut it and stick it into wet moss and just keep it wet? Died it work better than just water?

[@wildfern]

I keep the moss moist, when it dries out completely I water it. I don't know if I would say it's better than water, sometimes they don't do well in moss and then I put them in water and they take off. And sometimes in water they are doing nothing, so I put them in moss and they root. It really depends lol.

[@ceciliabrasier6745]

Thanks 😊

[@eliseholmes8354]

Yay! Great video as always Fern. I love Philodendrons, my favourite currently is my cordatum, I love the colour change with new growth :)

[@wildfern]

Thank you soooo much :) Ahh yes, beautiful.

Glad u posted luv ur content Fern💚💚💚

[@wildfern]

Thank you so much!

[@luciafeltovich896]

i feel you on the silver stripe reverting problem! i’m getting fed up with mine too. i think you need a florida ghost philodendron instead they’re so interesting and the leaf shape is fun. plus mine grows really well for me under a grow light with around 50% humidity. current favorite - you definitely should keep an eye out for a ghost

[@wildfern]

Ahh yes I really want to find one. I had one, but I sold it when I moved. I can't wait to replace it one day.

That intro was amazing! And you look so beautiful as always! Totally digging the silver swords as of recently too!

[@Ylimeable777]

I've got a philodendron Birkin that had been pushing out new growth like crazy despite being labeled as a "slow grower" I do feel like the varigation had reverted some on it as well. However, there was not a whole lot of varigation to begin with

[@AC-tu3kj]

This video was so helpful, I realized I confused some philodendron cuttings I got for pothos😶. And I have some ideas for repotting thanks to this video. Now I have renewed excitement for plants and want more philodendrons lol😄. You look so gorgeous btw! 😍

[@catherineg1297]

that silver sword is beautiful! have you ever tried rooting plants in perlite and have you been successful with it if you have tried it? i have seen a couple things saying it makes plants grow stronger roots than in water, so i’m trying it for the first time with a silver satin pothos clipping i was gifted... ready to transfer it to water if it starts dying though haha

[@wildfern]

I have never tried rooting in perlite, but I am very curious about it and would like to give it a go.

[@wildfern]

Yesss - it will show up eventually lol!

[@jotv7224]

philodendrons are so great. i have had a micans for years and it has that issue where the new growth is to small or it produces way more vine than new leaves. i took some cuttings from it this year, they are only doing so so some leaves come in clean but tiny some come in and die, it is also very sensitive to light and will burn just off some florescent bulbs i have near by. maybe the plant has just gotten to old? i guess if i don't see much change i'll try repotting it unless this is pretty standard for philos. i have yet to have a philo brazil do well i can't see to fiure the issue out but they always hit a point and then start to lose leaves/ new growth dies off. the standard green ones do the best for me.

[@Sovereign-Prax]

You need more light for all plant that are variegated. Hope this helps, Mainly indirect sunlight is best.

[@Kohliflie]

The Silverstripe needs a lot of light to stay brighter.. it's the same as with variegated monstera :) The leafes of them get smaller if you let them hang. They need something to grow up to and then they will have larger leafes. There is a very good video about the smaller leafes from "swedish plant guys" maybe you want to check that out, i found it very helpful.
