The 'up-speak'???? Oh my goodness, Fern, do people have too much time on their hands to complain about something as trivial as that? Your content is incredible: so inspiring and educational, delivered in such a relaxed and positive way. That's all that matters to me. Please don't change! You're a natural! 💙💙💙
Literally just misogyny and society’s general hatred of women!
Right?! I've been watching for years, Fern is my fave youtuber, and I have never even noticed her (ever) doing that!! It's not obvious to me at all (unlike a Kardashian)
I can't edit my comment for some reason, I forgot this! 💙
@@amandapetkov6591 I totally agree, Amanda! I hadn't noticed either and I haven't even bothered trying to analyse Fern's voice afterwards as a result 😅 Seriously, when you admire someone who has a good heart and is so interesting and creative, that's all that matters 🤗
@@graceaxisa4213 Totally agree too! Helps we aren't petty, lol
People be wild. I never even noticed this “upspeak” in the way you talk. I enjoy listening to you. Who cares. Don’t let people bother you. 💙😊
lol same! I still don't hear it. I wonder if as a fellow Canadian, we all speak this way?
Love your videos. Congrats on the new house.👏🏻 Don’t change your voice or anything for anybody, you are perfect just the way you are, you have great energy! I’m an old fart, trust me you can’t please everybody.
how can someone say that about your voice? its so genuine and one of the things that makes me really enjoy the videos, give a nice cozy vibe, like when you are talking with a friend yk? people are mean for no reason
I don't know if people even know that's mean to speak their annoyances. They just were never taught social graces.
Loving how supportive you are, just casually advertising other creators 💙💙
Fern, unfortunately there will be those evil people trying to bring you down.. Don’t let them.. You are perfect the way you are ❣️🙏🏼🥰
Oh wow, just came back inside from repotting one of my hoya and alocasia. Going to watch this to relax and cool down a bit, as it's really hot here in Germany rn! :) Hope everyone is having a nice day💕🌱
Thank you for watching & stay cool! 🥶🫶
The Dioscorea fits perfectly with that cover pot. Please don’t even try to change you natural speech for critics; they’re not worth it; I like it!💙
The comments about the way you speak😱 I’ve never even thought about that when watching your videos. I’ve been watching you for years and I’ve always loved listening to you😅❤️
I actually find the way you talk in your videos really inspiring because it just shows that you’re a genuine person in your verbiage! You’re never in a hurry to say anything, you speak seamlessly. I’ve always thought so so what others have said is confusing to me lol
Hi Fern. So glad to hear someone else puts crystals into their pot plants. I do the same. It's my Marie Kondo way of welcoming my plants into their new home. Plus, crystals look beautiful alongside the plants. I love the look of your Hoya quinquenervia, what a beauty!!!!! I'm not sure why others are concerned about your speaking voice? I'm not really sure what upspeak is, but I think you speak very well, and the sound of your voice is very nice. Just be yourself!!! Enjoyed your pot and chat. 🪴💜💜💜💜
You’ve been using “we” in your last two videos and ive been fangirling even though you haven’t said anything specific 😂😂😂 rooting for you!
I have 300+ plants. I keep a Google spreadsheet with all the plants names, purchase date, place purchased and price plus some other columns. Each plant has a linked Google Doc with pictures of when I bought it and major updates. I also document repots, etc. I take pictures on my phone then email them to myself to put in the Google Document from my computer.
It’s awesome to be able to see how much each plant changes over time.
Great system!
I love it. No need to pay $30-$40 a year for an app I probably wouldn’t use anyway…
Wow! Organization goals for sure!
Oh wow, sounds like a lot of effort! I just use the planta app (free version, I don’t like the premium version 😂)
Don't change the way you speak. Its a part of you and and one of many reasons people watch you're videos. Im from sweden and I realy like to listen to you. Easy to understand and easy to follow.
you are my fav planty person and honestly maybe even my comfort youtuber now that i think about it. you bring so much joy to everyone around you and to a bunch of us online as well. please never change and never let anyone take your light away from you. sending lots of good vibes to ya!
You are the sweetest 🥺 the shirt is from tropicsnarcotics.com and code FERN10 gets you a discount xx
I think, the way you speak is nice and that people who complain about something like this are miserable grumps!🥰🥰
Fern…I think your speech is just fine! Block those crazy people….I bet they are the kind that will complain about anything & everything. (Karen’s) I was taught as a child if you can’t say something nice…don’t say anything at all! Keep doing what you are doing! I love your channel & have learned so much from you. Thank you!
Okay, so I have 150+ plants in my collection and what’s worked for me is organizing my plant based on care requirements, so high water plants hang out with each other and low water plants hang with each other, it really helps to keep track of what I need to do
You handled that up speak comment so gracefully. I most definitely would not have been that poised and I'm so happy you addressed it. You are awesome. Love your repot videos. 💚
So wild people feel the need to comment on how you speak. For what it’s worth, I love the way you speak and all of your content💙
Reusing plastic food containers as plant pots! Love it!
Can’t wait to see what you do with your new space! It already looks so beautiful with all your plants!
Always love ‘hanging out with you’ on your channel; there’s a reason you have all the followers you do, and it’s because we all love and support you 💙💙💙
Hi Fern 💫 I always love it when I open UA-cam and there’s a new video from you!! And please girl, don’t let those people who comment on your speaking bother you. You are an amazing individual and we are all unique just as we should be. You keep doing Fern ~ we love her. 💙💙💙💫
You're amazing and don't let anyone make you feel bad about the way you speak. I love your channel! Thanks for all the great info and congratulations on your house!
Thank you so much Lisa 🥰
Hey Fern, you do you!
One of my favorite sayings is:
Don't be blown about by every wind...
I always bring that to mind whenever someone tries to throw me off balance. I'm Old so trying to throw me off doesn't work anymore. 😁
😊🌷💚
Fern do you girl! Don’t worry about those trolls. Their life is miserable. I absolutely love your accent! ❤
A way that I keep consistent with my watering and plant care in general is by sections, I have three cabinets and two shelfs so I water them one at a time, it takes time to get everything on the same schedule but its so worth it!
I don't comment often, but I wanted to say this. Just ignore the people complaining about your "up-speak". I never even noticed it until it was pointed out by that comment, and only for a little bit. And, to be honest, the way you speak doesn't matter, what's important is that the information you provide is useful and educational, which it is. Please don't let the complaints bother you. 💙💙
Don’t change the way you talk. I find it soothing.
Thank you 💙
Love to hear that you have figured out your own position on the upspeak-critics. Don't let them reduce the ways of expressing yourself. :)
Btw I really like your accent! It reminds me of the time I've lived in Canada (I'm originally from Germany) and it is really nice to get the PNW vibes a little while watching your videos ❤
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that 😊
English is not my 1st language and honestly I think the way you speak is adorable and not that I've noticed this upspeak thing in the first place💚
I love the way you speak, Fern, and your overall demeanour is delightful. You are so positive and enthusiastic about plants, your sweetie pie, Olive and many other topics. I really enjoy your channel. Thank you ❤
💙 that book sounds so interesting, I’m glad you don’t care about what they have to say about the way you speak, and I appreciate you providing some insight/education in this video! CLEARLY the world needs it 😂
I’m big on keeping handwritten bullet journals/notes. I’ve always been more consistent with a physical book, rather than a digital one because I can never stay consistent otherwise. I have one that’s more calendar style for bills, todos, appointments, etc. and one for my plants! It’s like my morning routine to do my notebooks and coffee on the porch before starting/during plant care. I usually do one plant per page and get layout styles from Pinterest. I also use tabs to label the pages for easier accessibility. ❤
I do mine in sections and also break them down between ones that are in water as opposed to soil. One day I'll take care of all my plants in water, the next, I do plants in soil etc, while diving my plants into sections.
And about the Dioscorea discolor, oh my god, I am so happy to see you the expert with a plant like this because I totally ruined my cissus discolor which is a very similar one... I bought it for like 80$ and it was huuuge it had like 2 meter long vines with huge leaves... turns out I had no idea that these guys literally need the highest humidity and can only really survive in greenhouse conditions... so it lost ALL its leaves but I didn't wanna give up so I trimmed it back, kept the pot the whole winter, just in some random corner, almost never watered and now I put it out on the balcony and I COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EYES... it really has new growth sprouting like CRAZY💙 so yeah really looking forward to you talking more about these kind of viney plants because I still only know so little about the species💙
Love watching your videos while having a snack and a cozy beverage 🍵 can't wait to see more videos and updates in your new place and don't let the negative comments get you down. Those people are just insecure about themselves. Can't wait for the next one 💙
🌿 You look and sound so happy and content Fern, looking forward to all your upcoming content in your beautiful new home 🏠 💙
love seeing you in such a happy and positive positive mood, it fits you so much better than then being so stressed out, welcome back to the happy Fern I love to see. 💙
I can't possibly fathom that anyone would feel the need to send hate to Fern, the literal cutest and sweetest content creator! Love these vids, keep them coming! Congrats on your property too :)
So glad to see you in your lovely bright new house! You seem relaxed and happy. Also, that little deer hopping around in your yard is adorable! 💙🩵💙🩵
Self watering pots have saved my life. I’m back loving begonias because of them. They’re the best.
💙I can't believe anyone would have a problem with "upspeak". I didn't realize it was a thing and didn't ever notice until you spoke about it. It's just you, so enjoy being you, it makes you unique.
I love repotting videos 🥰 it makes me want to repot my plants even though they don’t need it 😅
I’ll just live vicariously through you with the repotting today instead🤣
hahaha awe I wish you could come over and repot some of mine! 😃
@@wildfern ahhh you have so many plants that would be so fun hahah might be a bit of a commute coming from NS though🤣🤣
You are your authentic self and that's why I love watching you 💙 Congratz on your home!
I do use a plant app for my 150-ish plants. I don't always update the photos and notes, but I try to if something big happens (like I treat for bugs) and I use it when I water so that I can look back and see how frequently plants are tending to want it -- that way I can adjust their suggested care schedule in the app to make it work better for my environment.
Congrats on the house! I know I was so happy when we bought ours and I had some space (and windows) to spread out. Your videos always make me so happy. I just lost someone close to me and your positive vibe is helping soothe my soul. 💙💙💙
Fern i have found that heavy duty magnets help me in my cabinet a lot. They work extremely well!
💙
I'm loving your new place!! I'm SO very happy for you!!😁
I just wanna add that I genuinely got upset by the fact people have put you down the way you talk😢 I mean that's one of the many things I adore about you! O love the way you talk/voice and all.. Anyway, I'm sorry they do that but kudos for moving on and realizing that's there problem not yours!😁😘
So far I like the app “picture this” for my care scheduling , I’m a bit new to being a crazy plant mom so I’m using the app, working well so far, I make adjustments as needed and it has all the pics and notes of progress and care documented
You are fabulous Fern! Don't let ANYONE tell you differently. Your videos are amazing to watch, informative, and you are so pleasant and enjoyable to listen to. Enjoy your new home! I am thrilled for you! 💙
Congrats on the new home!!! You should be so proud of yourself! What a great milestone of life!!
I use hooks with magnets in my cabinet (not an ikea cabinet). If the shelf is metal, that would work. Also, soil mites can be found wandering around on leaves and hiding in cataphylls too, especially if you’ve just watered the plant. If you look at a soil mite with a microscope, the mature ones have little tails that look like three or four little hairs on their butts ☺️
💙💙💙 i find your voice super relaxing to listen to. What a thing for people to complain about 🙄
Gah, I love your “accent” don’t stop the high endings to your sentences! Thank you for answering all these questions. ☺️💙💙💙💙
“Our” living room?! Girl did I hear you right?! ❤ Congrats on the new house 😊
Yes! Thank you :)
💙 Thanks for your amazing channel. I really like your style and the way you speak. No need to be anything else. And I wish you have great and happy times in your new home and be blessed! 🙏🌻
Nothing better than a relaxing, repotting video with Fern 💙💙💙
riiiiiiight, "upspeak" in other words people (I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume it was the cis heteronormative white patriarchy, but dont quote me) think that any other form of diction, grammar, and speaking other than American English is Wrong. AND why would anyone comment on something like this, it's like insulting someone's laugh, it really benefits no one. sending love, your "upspeak" has never bothered the large majority of us! as for me, I find your voice quite soothing ❤
So happy to see your black velvet doing so well! I haven’t been successful with getting any corms to grow so I will definitely try your method. And I must say please don’t ever change anything about you. I think you are wonderful just as you are🥰
I rescued a black velvet and regrew the main corm and the babies easily in a prop box! Never done it before. Left in a bright spot, perlite and sphag mix! Just thought I’d mention in case it helps you!
💙 I want you to know that I watch your videos for your energy and your vibes and I can’t believe you get hate for the way that you speak! I am literally shook. Don’t let the haters get you down! Keep doing you!!
Negative uptalk comments really show off people's (un)conscious biases I personally love your voice, Fern, and I've never noticed any uptalk, even after you've pointed it out lol. I love listening to you talk about just about anything and your plant videos have been a balm for my stressed out soul--also in the process of moving currently!💙
You are officially my favorite UA-camr! Can’t wait for more content from your new home and just wanted you to know I’m so happy to see you looking healthy and relaxed! Your videos always make me happy. Love from Poland!
I watch your videos over and over. They are so informative
😊
You could use the towel method on any size leaf that seems stick to avoid leaf damage.
Hi,Fern. Always interesting. I cannot understand how you moved all those plants. A true feat!!
💙 I absolutely love the way you speak! Part of why I enjoy your videos.
🥰
Also- the way you speak is adorable and such an endearing feature of yours. ❤
Up talking takes me back to my youth in Cali. You and Harli do it well😊. Keep doing you Fern. Some folks need to relax and let folks live.
I love your videos and also your voice. I learn so much about plant care from you. 💙
I was ABOUT to recommend Wordslut because it talks about the upspeak stuff and I think you’d find it fascinating!! It’s so good. Also loved her other book Cultish! 37:59
You and Glen And Friends are both tied for my favorite UA-camrs.
OMG the way you talk is totally normal and you should not give those comments a second thought. People find the most random things to criticize! Also I love that purple plant and I'm going to keep an eye out for one!
You're making me want those thick bangs. They look so good!
Congratulations on your new house! Thank you for showing off you plants and it inspires me to keep trying. (Currently have a thrips outbreak) I just found you a couple days ago but enjoy watching your videos, makes me feel like we’ve been friends forever lol 😂 keep doing what you’re doing 💙
People are so fresh! I'm from New England (eastern US) and I LOVE your accent!
Please don't change for anyone! And please don't change for us! Because we love you just the way you are.
Whoever is leaving comments about Fern’s accent,STOP! It’s not kind at all. What’s your motive behind it anyway!
It’s yours Fern and don’t change it for anyone,there’s bigger problems in the world today to worry about such a small and totall irrelevant thing! Nice video as usual Fern! Icy love Natalie ❤️🪴🫂🪴
I absolutely love your upspeak or whatever it is. It's a part of you and your personality. Absolutely do not apologize. Some ppl have wayyy too much time on their hand to leave hate comments. What a shame💙
You are so kind, thank you 🫶🥹💖
Here in Scandinavia, our languages use a lot of "up-speak", and I have never questioned your way of speaking, because I use it too.😊 Actually never really knew it was a thing.🤔
Re keeping track of what you do with plants: I have 3 plant spaces in my house (about 150 plants total), so I keep an A5 binder in each space with a page for each plant. It's easy enough for me to pick up the little binder and flip through as I water/fertilize/treat for pests. I find it much easier to keep up with something physical like this rather than an app because it's right in front of me :)
The discorea is so cute in the new pot and with the clear trellis.
for keeping track of plants, I've been really into voice memos lately. I hit record, carry my phone around and just say all my notes as they come to me. I can listen back at more than double the speed and write down the really important things in a todo, and write down the fun notes in a bullet journal if i want. I find that i don't even have to be consistent with it but im overall more on top of things!
Oh that is a smart way to do it, love that :)
Keeping the deer and rabbits away from plants outside is something we struggle with at my home as well. I don't know if it's your kind of thing, but there is a product called Liquid Fence that you spray around the plants that you want to keep protected from wildlife. I use it mostly for flower beds, they like our lilies. It smells awful when applied, but works pretty well for us. I've heard other people in the gardening spaces online say it works for them as well. Congrats on the new home!
Hey Fern!! I have all of my alocasias in a self-watering set up. I just use thick cotton wicks and deep cover pots. I use my chunky aroid mix as well to prevent rot :)
your videos are my favorite part of my day!
Fern congrats on house!!! Love the video and I have a Serpens coming I a little nervous but glad for the tips about lighting and humidity love the way speak everyone in the world does not need to be the same I adore who you are take care and have a wonderful weekend. 💙
The upspeak is very charming on you Fern!! Don’t let them get to you! Happy looks good on you! 💙
omg i cant believe you answered my question!! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS FERN💋
You are glowing and look really happy in this video 💙 I love the way you speak, don’t let the haters bother you hun! 💙 Sooo happy for you Fern 💙
I cracked the code with my black velvet, it gets so easily stressed with too much soil or too much pot room. I downsized my 2 leaf black velvet into a smaller pot and now it's at 4 leaves. I've been bottom watering instead of top watering amd it's MUCH happier ❤
Excited to see more of your new home looks amazing 💙💙
💙 love your updates and your hair looks so pretty, been watching you grow it out after that orange mullet, that was super cool too 🎉
💙💙💙 three times for emphasis on another great video full of helpful tips (esp the Alocasia corm tips!) and motivation to become better plant parents. Oh and we Aussies cop a lot of slack about the way we talk but who cares....we laugh it off and focus our energy on more important and up-building things that lift the spirit and help us get through life that gets really hard at times. That is what you do by sharing your knowledge of and love for plants💙💙💙
💙 Congratulations on the new house!!! I have truly enjoyed watching everyone of your videos for years now. I am so looking forward to seeing you and your new space transform in the coming years.
I don't mind the "upspeak" but i have noticed its mostly the younger female influencers that do this. You only do it when you are actually explaining something but when you are just chilling and relaxed you don't. But either way, i enjoy your channel and your voice is actually very soothing to listen to and thats because you are so laid back and calming as a person. 🤗🥰
Thiccly has some large poles for larger plants too! You could try those if you don’t want to buy a whole roll of wire mesh
Oh really? I didn’t know they had even bigger ones 👀
So happy for you and your new house! I've only made smaller diy moss poles so far, but I inserted in of those metal garden stakes into the middle of it to give it support. You might be able to slide a stake into the moss pole in the middle and see if it helps, at least in the meantime.💙
I'm just going to say what worked for me personally to make my alocasia black velvet thrive. You do whatever works for you ofcourse.
I converted it to semi hydro (using rainwater and nutrients) and keep it in a terrarium/humidity dome and it is loving it. In the winter I keep it in there all day except i open it (for air circulation) one hour a day. During summer I only have it in there at night and it is without the dome/terrarium in the day.
I also have all my alocasia in semi hydro +humidity domes/ terrariums (both open and closed, I do the same seasonal/daily routine with both kinds) because I've found they really seem to love it. I think it's the high humidity plus airflow to the roots from being in a non soil medium (I use leca). I've even been growing my corms that way now too from the jump which also seems to work.
Recently I've also tried a transitioning method called "the long method" I found from the channel @thelecaqueen here on yt. That's for mature plants with already developed soil roots to convert more smoothly. Basically you just keep them in water and nutrient solution until they develop primary and secondary water roots (some shedding of soil roots will occur). I've been doing this to my cuprea I bought recently and it's been working really well. Otherwise it is possible to just convert it straight away into the leca semi hydro setup.
Either way this is how I saved my alocasia black velvet from having had all the roots rot off in the soil and it only had one leaf left. Now it has a nice new root system and a third leaf on the way.
Like I said though this is only what I've done and if something else works for you that's great. I'm no expert by any means. But I hope this helps or at least gave some ideas.❤🌱
