I wish I could afford SkillShare, but since I can't I just use KZbin to teach me anything I want to learn. You can literally find any kind of video on KZbin. That's how I thought myself how to crochet. 😊💖💐⭐

[@KatrinBogner]

woow I can't believe that there was only one, only ONE philo in this selection! Not only your plants grow, but also you as a person and with it your interests in different plant genes and this was such a fun, diverse selection to watch! loved them all!!! xoxo Kat 😚

[@tiadavis4512]

Yeah, I was super surprised philodendron splendid wasn’t on the list!

[@Tina-wi7we]

They are all so beautiful. Your collection brings me joy too 😂🎄🎁🌿❄️🎀

[@lil.dizzee4220]

I recommend rooting the holiday cactus in perlite and not water! I have the regular none variegated though but every time I’ve tried water it just gets rotten, but perlite have worked really well! ✨

[@Billie-jo_field]

The begonia is wicked!! I am still on the search. You look so beautiful Fern, lovin your hair, the cut is perfect. Hope you and Shane have a wonderful holiday ♥️💚✨

[@dora9368]

I love your Begonia❤ she's big and beautiful 🌿🌼

[@nancyrock477]

Thank you, Fern! Love your enthusiasm!

[@annafink2245]

It's so interesting how you form these relationships with your plants. I also could just pick my favorites intuitively.

[@wishingonthemoon1]

YAAAAS gosh I love your thurstonii. This list was amazing! PS love seeing you so happy and thriving :)

[@ThatGirlShelbyy]

Such beautiful plants!! ❤️

[@vlong7112]

What a treat this video was!! You can totally tell how much joy these plants brought you 🥰 such lovely plants! Way to grow them! Esp the Thai! What a journey 🤣

[@rosewagner4018]

What beautiful plants! I love them all!

[@dora9368]

Those Thai leaves are amazing, such gorgeous color 🍃🌹🌿

[@amelise]

I was so excited to see your Thai on this list. She was worth the struggle. gorgeous.

[@Planty-Mandy]

You influence my wish list more than anyone! We have all the same taste and your plants are so gorgeous. 😍

[@juliamierzejewska170]

Absolutely amazing plants, they're my favourites in your collection, too. You have the best collection out of every other youtuber in general. Your plants are just incredible

[@TheMoodyTarot]

This was everything! Thank you! Your collection is just goals! ❤

[@tanya.quintieri]

Yay! Looking forward to this video! :)

[@karrissabarajas8475]

oh boo, the thanksgiving cactus will root up so well for you!! and getting you closer to your goal of a full pot 💞

[@brooklin_bernek]

Omg that stand is gorgeous!!!

[@julianablancomatamoros9458]

Your Christmas tree looks amazing!!!! ❤🎄 - I fell in love with P. Majestic by seeing you grow yours. It's so stunning ✨ on my top 3 wishlist plants for sure

[@vcherylcollins6290]

Such a fun video to watch. Sparked a new interest in some new plants for me. Good job. ❤

[@chillb3ats]

Totally agree. I loooooooove my esqueleto 😍

[@elizabethlacey7708]

Love your plant collection it is stunning!!!❤❤❤ Have a great week!! See you in your next video!!!!

[@cheyrondagreen9652]

They’re all beautiful 💚. I can see why they made your top 10 list.

[@CultivatingAbby]

Your Thai con is easily one of the most beautiful ones I’ve seen 😮 I haven’t understood the hype but when I see yours, I get it 😍

[@juliashearer7842]

Loved your collab with Roos. ❤

[@debjanibhowmick5870]

The plants r just gorgeous❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@nobleb17]

Thanks so much for this lovely video! You have such a wonderful collection so I loved seeing which plants gave you extra joy this year! I treated myself to a Thai Con as an early Christmas present and I'm so happy I did, it's already given me it's first leaf with fenestrations 💚

[@luciansteph]

Nice picks! The Epi No ID Is really pretty! Thanks for the video 🪴😄

[@chloekrause5984]

GIRL! FIRST OFF: YOUR PLANTS ARE INCREDIBLE!!! WOW! I remember you at the BEGINNING of your plant journey channel!!! 🎉YOU 🎉 were the ONE that influenced me to get a Variegated Holiday Cactus!! AND I ADORE MINE !!! Thank you for always sharing amazing content! I love your channel, Olive, your vibe! Cheers!

[@MidoTheDuck]

Idk, the thai con will forever be on my list of favorites. She makes me work :DD (brought my first thai con back from severe rot this year, and adopted a second one because I was so sure my first one would just die on me) The syngonium albo is also so stunning! I had mine on a mosspole but then ended up making the same decision as you to just chop and prop to have a lush shrub moment.

[@alonathevan]

from watching the comical repot that the Thai rotted, I NEVER thought she would make it here. so proud of how far she's come!! looks amazing

[@wildfern]

Agreed!! It’s shocked me lol!

[@simplydee4522]

Love your featured plants and see the joy that they bring you. I just brought 2 Alocasia Jacklyns yesterday listed for $15 but marked down to $9 each from Lowe's. They're only 4" tall and were beat up with broken stems, but I'm hoping for the best. Thanks for sharing your favorites with us.

[@celestialynx]

Schlumberga was my first plant a few years ago (which I also killed, but I was young and stupid 😅) and even that the only thing I did was watering, it gave me soooo many blooms! R.I.P. little one 😄 The variegated one is beautiful, feels like it’s on my 2024 wish list!

[@ConnieP92]

Wow! Your Syngoniunm Albo and your Jacklyn....amazing! Thanks for sharing all your beauties with us Fern. 👌🏼🥰

[@wildfern]

You are so welcome! 🤗

[@madamplant]

Love your sweater!

[@elmerhernandez5810]

FERN! your plants have gotten soooooo BIGGGGGG!

[@MyBookishEmpire]

Fern! These are stunning! I think I am most impressed by the begonia Thurstonii! I have been searching for one since I saw yours earlier this year, no luck yet, but I have all my extremities crossed to find it one day. This video reminded me to appreciate the plants that I have and slow down a bit. Thanks!

[@aub_k2819]

Love this video (as I love all your videos )! Your variagated Thanksgiving cactus is stunning! I'm so sorry it got damaged! But they root really easily especially if they have a little extra humidity! It might be a blessing in disguise 💚🌿🤍

[@cherylbeswick7327]

Wow❤ absolutely beautiful collection

[@dora9368]

The Philo. Majestic is great, and I like the Syngonim too! Really their all gorgeous and beautiful ❤️ great favs list. TFS 🌼👍

[@robertabernardo4012]

Girl, you and your plants are beautiful!

[@wildfern]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@scottfontaine3798]

That Thanksgiving cactus is awesome! But I also have to say all the other plants are really amazing too. Thank you for sharing.

[@wildfern]

Thank you for watching :)

[@joehisel5966]

You've leveled up!! There's so many planty KZbinrs that just seem to not learn anything through their journey. You're one of the few that learns!

[@ImThyme81]

OMG I love your Magestic, I got one a few months ago after seeing yours, it's still little but I hope it glows up like yours! And the pengs are so cute, I may have to make some room in my planty box terrarium thing.

[@elennakanjis5068]

Thank You ! You inspire me a lot! God Blees You And Your Green Hands ! 👍

[@sasharandomly4221]

Great list, thank you.

[@MichelleMonstera]

Omg yay the pings making the top ten ♥️♥️♥️

[@floydyakrill]

My Linearis bloomed for the first time last summer. I hope yours blooms this summer for you.

[@emilyvanisle]

Your xmas tree looks so nice!🎄

[@sylviagutierrez7676]

All amazing plants‼️ 💚🌱🌵☘️💚

[@chasitydomenici109]

What a great video! I have added the variegated cactus to my wish list ❤️ YAY! So happy for you and your new crochet hobby ❤️

[@wildfern]

Awww wow thank you so much 🥺💚 I so appreciate all of your support!

[@AngelicaMaria1983]

I'm waiting for you entering more in the orchids World! ❤ Your vídeos are awesome! Love all your plants! My thai constellation is also one of my top 3 😂

[@mommayanna]

Love your linearis, it inspires me to really put effort into mine which is new

[@pudik2008]

I will always remember yourJoys Liniares when I just started watching your channel. And now it’s paid off with all your hard work! Loved all your plants. 💚🪴💚

[@ecetevruz1426]

Yay🎉 will you also make a top 10 favourite books of 2023 video? 😊

[@ILovePlants33]

I would love this!!!

[@jasonrueschman1590]

Hello Fern hope you're having an awesome

[@clairepook2703]

All great choices my Thai constellation is my favourite plant so beautiful and I love my linearis. Hope you successfully root the thanksgiving cactus 🤞. X

[@hana277]

I’m sorry to hear about your thanksgiving cactus. The same thing happened to me, my very full Argyraeus came crashing down and lobbed off a vine from my N’Joy that I’ve been trying to grow all year. Then instead of dealing with it, I put it back, and down it came once again! 😳 I’ve since put my Argyraeus in a heavy cover pot so it will stay put!

[@M-I-T]

I absolutely LOVE your variegated Christmas cactus.💚♥️💚

[@wildfern]

Ahh thank you!! 😊

[@sopheakydeaky.]

I love pings also!🥲💸 Since you like the cyclosecta I recommend a hybrid of it called Pinguicula moranensis var. alba ‘Molango’ x cyclosecta and Pinguicula leilani. They’re both a lighter purple and they’re my favorites in my collection. And another that’s really colorful is Pinguicula laueana CP2 x emarginata.🙂

[@halliedobbins]

Hi Fern! I absolutely adore the love story you and your Thai have had 💚 Also where did you get that adorable plant stand for her?! Such a cute idea to recycle skateboards 😍

[@alisonhammond4662]

Look at Sydney plant guy..his cebu blue is HUGE on a moss pole..might help ID it ❤❤❤

[@jillsimpson8527]

Beautiful plants! You asked about moss poles: I felt that my DIY mesh poles were drying out too fast, so I ordered some Grow Vertical poles (like Sydney Plant Guy uses) from Australia. They are quite sturdy and large, while still having that plastic backing. I like that I can see all the roots with the clear plastic option. Cons - Lots of visible zip ties, though not an issue if the plant is full enough to hide them, and some of the black paint on the wire mesh front was coming off on my hands when I was assembling, which made me worry that it would come off during watering, but it hasn't they are still black and I haven't seen any rust.

[@ILovePlants33]

Oh my that hanka is so frickin cute! Every time i see a video with a plant on a pole in tempted, but they just look like so much work to get it going.

[@wildfern]

They are quite a bit of work, but sooo satisfying to see them root in a size up :)

[@duncanpage1556]

Happy holidays Fern from Alberta

[@wildfern]

Happy holidays! 😊

[@torquess454]

So jelly of your esqueletto!! “Finally have one easier to hold and more manageable to show you” - as we can’t see Fern behind the bush at all.. I’m trying to find another Jaklyn, I transferred mine into semi hydro and it either went into dormancy or died, we’ll see in the spring if it comes back or not, not a single leaf on it

[@oceanfoxes905]

That Thanksgiving cactus was beautiful. Loved seeing pinguicula in there too

[@wildfern]

Thank you so much!! 😊

[@katie77r]

Beautiful plants! My favourites are the Christmas cactus var (can't find one anywhere) and that amazing Alocasia Jacklyn 😍😍😍

[@joannanovara815]

Stick the holiday cactus in water and it will probably still bloom! Mine have done that. They are super easy to root/prop 😊

[@richardr5878]

That variegated cactus! Need one now.

[@lacieplants]

In my experience, thanksgiving cactus roots very quickly and easily in water, also in perlite! I’m sure soil works too (?) but I’ve just never tried that because I like to see the roots! So don’t fret, she will be okay! 🌵❤ Also I love your content and your collection it honestly inspires me especially when I’m feeling that seasonal depression, which can keep me from caring for my plants as well. But! I see your gorgeous plants and get inspired to try and be as successful! So thanks for that!

[@PahtyinthePetiole]

Happy New Year. love your videos! You inspire me very much. Am so envious of your beautiful Hoya Linearis. beauty! Do you ever sell cutting of it?

[@agneslazarenko2653]

Very beautiful!

[@Brittany_B]

Yay that you started crocheting! I must warn you though, it's addicting 😉 Some plant things that you can make are plant cozies and hangers (I struggle with following macrame patterns but have easily made really cute boho looking crocheted hangers). Love all of the plants in this video and sending well wishes to your variegated Thanksgiving cactus to recoup!

[@brooklin_bernek]

Fun fact ❤I totally just snagged a variegated Christmas cactus the MOMENT I seen yours! I remember when you got the cutting and I thought it was cute but didn’t love it like I love it now! You picked some wonderful favs of the year!!!❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊

[@dora9368]

I want a xmas 🌵 too, but I'm on a no buy for now...

[@hollygolytlee]

I love your channel. I've been watching since you started! The following comment is about the general direction of every Rare House Plant channel I follow - I REALLY MISS the educational vlogs!!! I mean it's lovely and interesting to see your plant collections and favorites or never-buy-agains, but it seems the basic info to the specific anecdotes of how you grew, saved, propped, or otherwise learned about the plant is the content of a bygone era. Maybe you covered it in part of another vlog, and feel like you're repeating, but for us amateurs, we then have to do searches, and that rarely works. Does anyone else feel the same way?

[@wildfern]

This is a really good point and has given me a lot to think about. Are there any topics/plants you’d specifically like to see me talk about? I appreciate your feedback. Thank you 🫶🌿

[@carolstuff]

Awesome faves!

[@wildfern]

Thank you!! 😊

[@caailenspeers]

[@maartjevanderheijden8467]

Dear fern, I feel very connected with you because I'm a long time crochet'er but a just starting plant parent! I also love learning new things and wish you the best of luck with you crochet journey! I am very curious about what thing do you want to make? ❤ Have a lovely day and thank you for lifting my spirits in hard times🌱

[@JolieVoyager]

Today i got 2, of your top 10. Thanks

[@morningstar8187]

Schlumbergera are extremely easy to root, like most cacti. Just stick it into the soil and it will root within a few weeks. I would avoid water, as cactus cuttings tend to rot in high humidity. Epiphytic cacti not as much as desert cacti, but still.

[@carmenmonteavaro9528]

They are all so beautiful but that variegated Christmas cactus is to die for 😊

[@wildfern]

Thank you! I am so happy to have it in my collection 😊 was worth the wait.

[@mirandamilburn129]

Hi Fern, great video as usual! FYi, the holes in leaves are perforations, and the splits are fenestration. Wishing you a Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤️

[@wildfern]

That makes sense - thank you! Merry Christmas 🎄😊

[@marceloescobar9446]

Thanx!

[@isabellemaurice5815]

Merci de nous avoir montré de belles plantes, heureuses de croître. Certaines m'ont étonnée : le shlumbergera panaché qui prépare même une fleur 🤩 (je craignais même qu'à force de le secouer en parlant, vous cassiez la branche), la jackleen superbe, le philo (?) qui grimpe à côté de la fenêtre, des plaisirs à observer, merci ! 🍀

[@katerinamudrova7928]

I wouldnt cut the bud, christmas cacti drop them if theyre not happy, let it decide for itself 😊

Hi Fern, great video, love all your choices! Your variegated schlumbercya is stunning! What is the potting soil mixture you are using for her? Do you keep her moist all time?
