Repot with me | Monstera Peru, Burros tail, & Hoya Rotundiflora

[@wildfern]

Ok guys I'm sorry if the music is too loud! A lot of you say you like the music, but I think in this video I was too far from the camera for you to hear me well. I will fix that for next time

[@brodyadamsthatsme]

I would so rather have root rot than have a pest. Root rot doesn’t spread to other plants.

[@wildfern]

Yes my thoughts exactly!

[@brodyadamsthatsme]

wildfern though knowing me I’d I caused root rot in one plant, I probably caused it in a few others 😂

[@paolapar]

Gosh yessssss!!!

[@katsweeterly2039]

Wiser words have not been spoken today :)

[@mcsabrizzy]

SAME

[@catlovesunicorns]

Unpopular opinion: I loved the music lol 😆 it's so relaxing. Love your content!!!

[@wildfern]

Ahhh thank you! That makes me feel a lot better, I've been stressing about it.

[@mireyallanas5563]

I was literally holding my breath when you were holding the burros tail with chopsticks and putting it in the pot omg.

[@wildfern]

Hahaha omg I know - the STRESS

[@nikolam2352]

Same here!!

[@plantsxcass9223]

root rot!!! pests are sooo annoying and sometimes you can’t get rid of them, cross my fingers i’ve always had my plants come back from root rot

[@wisdomfromwithin888]

Agree and their scary to deal with! >.

[@wildfern]

Yessss same!

[@Weirder_the_better]

And root rot can’t spread to other plants 😩 *shakes fist at mealybugs*

[@videosrfunfunfun]

Hi, I am watching this video 3 yrs. later but I remember a technique where you make the hole in the new pot in the new potting mix with the old pot. So then there is a hole in the middle the same size as the old pot and the edges are filled with potting mix. Then you just put the plant into the new hole and tap the potting mix around the edges or shake it a little. I think this would be great for the Burros tail because you wouldn't be risking knocking off leaves putting the potting mix around the edges. I found a nice long piece of Burros tail today when I was leaving my friend's house with some plants I bought. I also picked up some leaves that were on the ground. She let me have the piece, etc. so I was reading up on how to propagate them. It sounds really easy. I will fix them in the morning. Love your videos. 😃🪴

[@tragedyrushh]

Yay for a successful burros tail repotting! I totally held my breath the entire time when you were trying to get it out of the old pot. D: Excited to hear that you got approved for the new apartment, can't wait for future videos as always. :)

[@wildfern]

Hahaha! Thank you

[@KimiKuppycake]

I’m basically binge watching your videos at this point hahaha. I’m new to taking care of plants, I mostly have succulents for now. BUT looking forward to having bigger houseplants when I get a bigger place 💕

[@wildfern]

Yes - the more space the more PLANTS

[@OfficialAshlynnBabb]

I hope you are giving your succulents a ton of sun! I feel like most people start with those and cacti and don’t realize they do need water when the soil is dry and lots of sun. My sis in law did this and put them on her living room table with no light and they all died. Lol

[@emmshelley]

SAME!! shes amazing

[@jaciejane1772]

💘💘💘💘💘💘 sending love from central florida . I get so mf excited when I find plant mamas like us on youtubeee , thank you for growing everyday 💚👁🌻✨🌞🌈☔🌱🌵

[@zelinaaguirre5348]

I was stressing right along with you with that burros tail repot! Your reaction to the burro leaves popping off was too funny! Loved all these plants and your whole set up in this video! Thx!

[@aliae1618]

Thanks so much for this video Fern! I also greatly appreciate your most recent blog. You are so genuine and give off such great vibes!

[@wildfern]

Awe thank you so much x

[@anitaschneider1158]

Good for you girl, I'm glad you got the place you look at in your last video stay safe and strong.

Thank you so much!

[@gareth_vieira2632]

Aww, super congratulations on getting the place!! Big smile!

[@Loloketlouie]

i love your upload schedule!! feels like you upload so often i love it! im always waiting for a new vid and it always feels like i dont really have to wait for very long! love ur vibe

[@wildfern]

Ahh thank you so much!

[@Nataroo88]

Love repotting vids! They are my favorite to watch because I enjoy potting plants so much :)

[@annaaroundhere]

Omg I was on the edge of my seat and along for the ride of that burro’s tail repot! 😅

[@JoeMama-qh2ng]

Omg the soft lighting I’m living

[@alysodapop5214]

You should look up some airy soil mixtures for all of your monsteras. I use a mix of black gold, coconut choir, orchid bark, perlite. I haven't used a cactus mix yet but I hear it works very well for drainage.

[@Kate-nd9dy]

Hey! I wanted to stop by and leave a comment! I’ve only just subscribed on my account as I’ve been watching your videos on the app on my TV and I’m not signed in on there oops. I LOVE your videos! I am a real plant newbie and love the feel of your channel. Your voice is super soothing and your videos are both great to watch and to have on in the background while working from home! Keep it up you are fab. I’m not sure if you already have a video on this but as a plant newbie, and someone who only has windows on one side of their home, I would love to see a video about different types of light and which plants do well where. Thank you for the amazing content xxx

[@wildfern]

Thank you so much

[@peperomiataylor]

Would love to see a kind of “moving with 715252 plants” video 😂 I’m moving in the next month too and I need to know how someone else is doing it too🙈

[@wildfern]

Yes I definitely will be doing this! Haha. Good luck to us lol.

[@StrangeDisposition]

Milk crates are stackable and allow airflow. Short plants in the bottom stacks. Ideally in a car cabin with temperature control for indoor plants. I moved my outdoor plants in a uhaul in the heat and thankfully they did surprisingly good, when I stopped I would open the door to give them air and the ones I could reach got water but only water if there’s nothing in the truck that touches the floor that shouldn’t get wet! I was afraid the plants in the uhaul were going to get baked but they didn’t. Do not put plants in the back of a pickup going high speeds unless they have protection from the wind, I learned the hard way that they loose leaves, stems and get shredded unless it’s a carnosa compacta lol.

[@majordelilah]

I had to re arrange a succulent arrangement a few days ago and DANG those roots get so huge

[@hannadebora5967]

I just love your videos, such chill vibes and cool plants. Plus you're so beautiful😍

[@GabsPiras]

Your Decalf Your Coffee mug is amazing 💚🌱 I need one!

[@wildfern]

Right!!

[@zoltanv9987]

I use bonsai mix and pumice as amendments to my soil and it helps so much with drainage! I also find that pumice doesn't move up the soil as you water the plant unlike perlite so I definitely recommend it if you have issues with root rot. It happened to my satin pothos and wandering jew but changing the soil fixed it 😊

[@kirsty2099]

Omg I love your channel! I love that you post so regularly it means I always have more of your amazing content to watch 💚

[@wildfern]

Ahh glad you're enjoying! Thank you

[@abbyblankenbiller146]

i just recently subscribed to your channel and i love your vibe and all of your vids! ever since i got a job at a local nursery i've developed this obsession with houseplants, with zero shame of course. :) thank you for sharing your experiences with being a plant mom, glad i came across your channel! learning so much already. keep it up queen!

[@wildfern]

Ahhh it sounds so fun to work at a nursery! Thank you

[@rachelgalen1160]

you should do a video about pests! i love seeing people’s methods for treating them, everyone does it a bit different!

[@fallenbarbieee]

Does anyone else watch Ferns videos over and over again?😍

[@wildfern]

Thank youuuuu ❤️

[@lisapettit7334]

Congrats on getting the place and on a successful Burro's Tail repot. In answer to your question, give me root rot over pests! I hope your Monstera Peru recovers nicely for you.

[@jesssouthwest8776]

I am so impressed by how few leaves came off that succulent! Also, I’d rather deal with root rot...pests got the best of my collection this spring and their leaves look wrecked. 😥

[@aylinslc]

Was thinking of repotting a plant and watching your vid has encouraged me to do so! Have a great day Fern! So happy abt you getting the new place ☺️😊

[@LeTigre83]

!?!? I have a bag of oranges with that mesh and holy Toledo am I pumped that you mentioned that I have never thought of it and had issues with coffee filters getting moldy in the bottom. Mind blown, you rock 🤯💜

[@wildfern]

So awesome right!!

[@alokasiablackmagic3444]

Hey Fern, in my country everyone puts leca at the bottom of the top while reporting. It protects roots from being overwatered

[@anemartinearnesonkvebu2223]

Actually when putting leca at the bottom of the pot it will just push the wettest soil furter up and closer to the roots, which can lead to root rot. I put leca under my pots, inside the outer pot! So the inner pot will never stand in water.

[@Tukitri]

Your shirts always give me life!

[@wisdomfromwithin888]

Look forward to your new chapter in your new place! ✨🌊

definitely root rot! i feel like i'm always struggling with fungus gnats and it is SO ANNOYING

[@jazmine73317]

I feel you on the overwatering. I’m moving across the US in two days and I’m driving with a monstera and pothos. This morning I put them in a box and found a black spot on my monstera. I overwatered it AGAIN. Feeling like a plant parent failure...

[@wildfern]

Awwww. Rough. We live and learn I suppose!

[@jazmine73317]

wildfern agreed! Glad you’re doing better ❤️❤️❤️

[@emmshelley]

Please share your potting mix recipe 😍😍 I'm washing & repotting my sansevaria soon - he's busting out of his nursery pot and has some old(?) Cobwebs on him from the grocery store I bought him from. Think he needs some new soil too, help me Fern 🤣😍

[@ann9068]

Root rot is so bad, it freaks me out! I'm looking forward to your update of the propagtion box and I always like updates and plant tours.

[@pudgyplanter1130]

I just said those very same words this morning! ..."why are my roots always rotting?!" I swear it's my life! I feel like I am always careful to make sure my soil is well draining, I use terra cotta pots, I TRY not to over water. Idk maybe I do am I'm not aware of it but geez I swear it feels like every time I turn around I have a plant with RR! ugh. I feel your pain. But to answer your question, even tho I am so unbelievably sick of root rot at this point I would still choose it over pests! They gross me out so bad that my whole body feels creepy crawly and itchy. Yuck!

[@wildfern]

Yeah!! I honestly don't think I overwater, and most of my pots are in terracotta so it's so weird to me to keep finding root rot lol. Good luck to both of us!

[@cutieswithcarti7743]

Id like to see a video on the plants you've had for the longest

[@Iris-gy2mi]

Omg I had so much anxiety watching you repot the burro's tail! 🙈

[@glowingeyes5567]

I am scared of repotting What if I accidentally kill my plants ;_; great vid as always, fern!

[@alerc20]

My plants suffer so much every time y repot :(

[@thisveganlife6340]

This was actually a well timed video for me. I also have a burro’s tail that I’ve been procrastinating on repotting as I’ve been afraid to lose so many leaves. I’m definitely trying the chop stick method. Hopefully it works out well for me too. For the root rot, what was the ratio of hydrogen:water that you used and for about how long would you say the roots should soak in the solution? Thanks for the video!

[@wildfern]

I honestly just splashed some in but I know if you google it you can find an actual ratio. I like to let it sit for about 15 minutes!

[@bunban5610]

root rot!! Like I know having pests is a natural occurrence but it stresses me out way too much!!! I buy plants to de-stress not to add more stress ;w;. Though the plants I've gotten recently all had pests in it, so I think I'm going to stop buying for a while lmao. Also congrats on getting the new place!! Looking forward to all your moving vlogs and new set-ups :)

Root rot feels more like permanent damage to me, so I’m gonna go with pests... just got rid of some fungus gnats so I’d say I’m somewhat confident in my exterminating abilities 😄 also congrats on getting the place you wanted!

[@exosvocals2526]

im currently dealing with fungus gnats and so im wondering what you did to get rid of them?

[@laurenp.4880]

exo's vocals first I set up a few traps with 1/4 parts Apple cider vinegar to water, then I also mixed dish soap in it. Then to kill any larvae I watered my plants with a water and hydrogen peroxide mixture. You don’t need too much peroxide but you know it works if you hear your soil sizzle when you water your plants (which is normal, nothing to worry about) :)

[@exosvocals2526]

@@laurenp.4880 thank you so much for the tips!!

[@DemonChimera69]

Well if i need to choose i would say root rot, annoying but the plant can come back easier than pest attack. I think

[@76alison]

are you letting your plants get critically dry before watering? I learned that from Planterina, and I think it's the key to success.

[@wildfern]

Usually! But if they get tooo dry I tend to lose leaves :( It's a hard balance!
