I am laughing my behind off😂😂😂. I clicked on the notification so fast I was the 1st view. Girl I was waiting on a video from you. All I saw was wildfern and clicked. I am officially an addict. LOVE your channel!
When you first introduced us to the using the orchid fertilizer on Hoyas made a tremendous difference in mine! Looking forward to your continued videos in 2024, love your videos so much!
Am Abraham and am from India 🇮🇳. Am 15 years old and am passionate rare plant collector. I have a jose buono which is almost a year old now and it is heavily variegated and the leaves are almost 17 to18 inches, it's a really great philodendron and its really easy to care for. I got it as a birthday gift and the plant was really small I got it for around 24$ and now it's a huge boy. I also recently got a monstera albo for a really steal deal. I really love your channel lots of love ❤❤❤❤
Maybe I can finally help you out! You have helped me soooo much!!! My Calatheas do amazingly well in self-watering wick-water pots in peat+perlite+orchid bark. I literally do nothing but stand back and watch them grow! One is in a pot with a nylon rope that goes into a mason jar. The other is in a store bought plastic self-watering pot. If you DIY, don’t use a cotton wick, or anything organic. 💕
My goal was to grow out my calathea warscewiczii and make her Bloom. She's now ~1.5foot High 1/2 a meter and has bloomed multiple times for me at the end of the year
Voting Yes for keeping your variegated subhastartum. It's looking lovely, healthy and love how the red backs show through in sunlight. I first saw this plant on one of your videos and have since received a small baby one. Only two leaves at the moment. So far to go before it looks like yours. Happy New Year Fern.
I think I'm the only one who has ever overwatered a calathea 😂 I accidentally overwatered my calathea warscewiczii this year and one of her leaves yellowed, otherwise, she was SO happy 🥰😂 backed off on the water a little bit and she is thriving!
That’s super that you achieved most of your planty goals 🎉🎉🎉 Speaking of growth, I cannot believe how much your hair has grown in the last year. Amazing! 😀🇨🇦
Fern an extra point regarding anthuriums and pots not being deep enough. 4 litre water bottles are deep and since the majority of us use cache pots……….recycle reuse?
I am definitely interested in a subhastatum video/ updates! I think that they are really cool. I love how the red dorsal sides of the leaves shine through to the front.
Sooo Jelly of the variegated Bella pot. I can’t even get the green one to grow for me. You are killing it with these plants. So excited to see yours bloom. Congrats Momma!!! 💚🌿💚
Ditch the variegated subhastatum…it’s not gonna get wildly different if you keep growing it. I’m sure your other variegated philos will be more rewarding anyways
I would say you did pretty darn good for your goals. The ones that didn’t come to fruition are sadly a part of plant life. But the ones that did good, look amazing! I love your p. Narrow / jungle boogie. I agree that the metal moss pole will help with sturdy support. And I can just see it now, a massive p. Narrow / jungle boogie tree in your house! Could be a 2nd Christmas tree come a year from now! ❤
I really enjoyed this "Goals" video. Having a before and after perspective, shows growth and potential. I have struggled with some of my plants, so after watching "The Leca Queen", I decided to venture six plants in Leca medium and finding success. I too have a Calathea - Warscewiczii now in Leca. I hope it gets to look as magnificent as yours. My ctenanthe lubbersiana has also reverted, but I still like the solid green look. Please provide more of these time lapse videos in the future. Love it!!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Wow! Your plants look sooo amazing since last year! I have really struggled with pests this year and had so many losses, my plant goal would just be to grow them out half as well as you have done! Loving these end of year videos! 🥰🥰
Love your videos, so informative :) My Scindapsis Exotica was dying a very slow death last Winter, and my last attempt to save her was to try her in Leca. I am happy to say she is growing into a full plant now. Yay :D Love their large silvery leaves.
Giiiirl. My 2 Ctenanthes have been in struggleville since a few months after bringing them home. They were (are) probably part of my first 15-20 houseplants. Also first time I dealt with a pest.. obviously spider mites. I'm embarrassed to even say how bad they were until I noticed lol. They're still surviving not thriving years later. One day they'll be beautiful and I'll appreciate them more than ever lol
Wow Fern an amazing year of growth 🌿🌿🌿 Congrats for the exotica and the hoya...and the calathea, beautiful. Can't believe the size of your p. Narrow too ❤ My biggest success was my first ever hoya bloom, on my kroniahna silver. Best wishes for the new year and thank you for all your content! xx
Wow, thats a very great progress i think!!! Nice Plabts and video! i would like to see how exactly how you care and propagate you Hoya linearis. That would be a nice video!!! Thank you for sharing your Plants. ☺
Hi Fern! I wanted to ask if you could do a video about …. Grow lights. Over the years that I’ve watched you I know you’ve tried so many kinds and types of grow lights and was wondering if you can do one of your preferred grow lights, and what actually works, and what really didn’t. Because I remember in a video you said you were using a grow light that was burning your plants, but also wasn’t reaching others. And I’m in the process of trying to find grow lights that work. I love all of your videos, super informational, and I learn a lot through your trial and errors, as well as your experience with different kinds of lighting in your home. But thank you for all of the work and videos you do! Everything is amazing
Your first plant may look better growing in one direction. It looks like it's turned from time to time, making the growth to be confused about where to go.
You are so great at setting these goals and then reviewing them. It definately whimakes for interesting content which it seems some plant utubers have trouble coming up with. I have a subhastatum, probably because of you. It has huge leaves, over a foot long, very green and shinny, which I really like. After a slow start it really took off. It doesn't have as much red on the back of the leaves as I'd like, but the short distance between leaves makes up for that. Anyway, it is definately a commitment to grow because of the huge size, so that would be my main consideration when deciding to grow it or not.
I always love your videos, you're so funny and I love that you're honest with your struggles and with the plants that you say are no longer worth your stress ❤
My jungle boogie is my fave! I only knew it as jungle boogie and was surprised to find so little info of jungle boogie but lots of narrow info. Great to know the actual difference now. THANK YOU! Mine is def a jungle boogie. So easy to prop and size up quick!!!
A big goal in 2023 with my current collection was to actually restart my marble queen. She was struggling and getting super leggy and was losing variegation. I chopped the whole plant, started cuttings, and now the plant looks so good. Such an easy plant but so rewarding. My main 2023 plant goal as far as a plant I wanted to get was a Monstera Thai Con, and I got one! Any care tips are greatly appreciated, but I will for sure check out your videos on care of Thais.
I just got in bed and saw your video pop up in my notifications! I love watching your video's before bed, so i can relax and get in the right mindspace ❤ Thank you and have a great newyears! 🎉
Hi fern a happy happy new year to you and your family i 've been following you on your journey with your plants and 3 moves of homes i'm so happy for all you accomplish and your plants and always enjoy your videos best wishes thanks
Perfect timing! I was just looking for one of your videos and you posted this one. Yay! I was your first viewer! My goal is to get better on track all in all. Sad to say my plants have been a little neglected getting ready for the holidays. 🤞🏻
Yeah, edema is caused by all the thing you mentioned, but it can also be caused by letting your moss poles dry out too much and then resaturating them with water... had the same thing happen to me a while back on my burle marx fantasy and it was so severe that the newest growth point turned to mush along with the top leaf bc it was too much water on the previously dry moss pole + cooler temps
Hello from Germany. I just came across your channel by chance and I think it's wonderful. I recently integrated a Monstera minima into an aquarium. best regards from Germany Andrej
Great flowers👍, but I couldn't stop looking at the sweatshirt you're wearing in this episode 😀 I live in Poland and it's hard to find something nice with a plant print here
I remember watching your hoya bella variegated propagation vid because I needed guidance on how to propagate one. I just bought a small inner variegated 4 nodes cutting that day and it helped a lot. It grew fast over the growing season and gave me blooms. Currently, it is growing a new set of blooms in the winter. My main tip for it to bloom is to keep up on the waterings. I lost peduncles when I was late on the waterings by a few days 😭 I also use Orchid mist but personally I don't see an increase in bloom productions. I've stopped using it during the winter but blooms still grew somehow.
Thanks for ALL the efforts to do these videos.. its so appreciated ❤ and I am LOVING your shirt and yes I have the variegated Hoya Bella and she has bloomed for me all year.. at one point she had about 7 peduncles that had blooms.. but that’s the only one of my bunch
amidrium medium. Looks like nutrients deficiency to me. Might be just light or maybe it's normal for the plant. But moss tends to become more and more acidic over time so I would check the PH of the running out water and check if that matches plant needs to uptake nutrients. Too acidic can be fixed with things like dolomite lime or just PH up liquid. 😊
Love the lineras. Its so long. You can definately chop and prop to make it fuller. Same with the scindapsus. Mine seems to be stuck with 5 or 6 leaves 😢.
I have 23 Prayer plants. I have a ctenanthe lubbersiana is the only one that has been a problem. No problems with variegation but thrips!! I still have it but it looks awful. Hopefully it will pick up in 2024.
My Hoya Bella has been giving me nothing but problems. It loses leaves as fast as it puts on new leaves. I’m cutting it back and spraying for pests, but I haven’t seen any. Maybe some soapy alcohol water. I don’t know
@@cannuck3577 ok I’ll water it more. I just wish it would put on more leaves than it loses. There’s a pile under it now. About 8-10. I vacuumed last weekend. Time to do again.
Place it in a place full of indirect and moderate light, and if its leaves fall, there are several reasons, maybe its roots have grown and its pot has shrunk. How long has it been since you changed the soil? And do you give it fertilizer like flowering fertilizer or n p.k 12.12.36? And its leaves may burn due to lack of moisture, so spray water several times a day
I’m terrible for watering at night, lost a couple to root rot because of it. I gave up on my baby scindapsus, it just refused to grow and died off 🤷♀️ I don’t know which I have, the narrow or boogie, I’ll have to watch it to see. I’ve received a Bella cutting and it’s not happy, I’ll have to do more research
I don't know how you grow a scindapsus like that. I have given up on those plants because I have had absolutely no luck with them. I just view everyone else's from afar. 😅
How do you propagate your hoya linearis. I have tried stratum, water, pon, spaghum moss but all my cuttings died. I had to propagate her because of root issues.
