@@wildfern Do the smart plugs require you to use Alexa (or Google Home) and therefore require you to get an additional device like Echo Dot (for Alexa)?
I am so glad I am not the only one who has been personally victimized by a bunny ear cactus!! I think if you just don’t touch it, you’ll be good. The main problem is they look soft and lure us in to touch them 😂
@@heyits_cat8966 I was also influenced. Lol I bought 2 mini cacti. I repotted my mini cacti collection into bigger pots so I had 4 2.5'' pots available. We can't have empty pots! Right?
I only have analog timers but I do that as well. Usually the manufacturer put a max wattage on there but if you're unsure u could always try asking them the max watt 😊
Please don't do this! Individual plugs are not rated to put out the same amount of electricity as power bars, and pulling more power through a plug than it's rated for can start a fire! There are smart bars available that would be much safer.
A plant friend brought a really good point up to me! Use the manual timers for when you go on vacation in case the power goes out 🤍 I never would have thought of that 😂 Your Maranta looks gorgeous Fern 😍😍
Hello!!! 👋 Before you toss your chicken farm try what I did! My alocasia heterophyla rapidly declined and low and behold I had ROOT mealies everywhere! I didnt wanna give up on him so here is what I did! Remove all soil! Did a full dunk of the plant in dishsoapy water for 48 hours minimum. This doesn't affect the existing roots or anything and it'll just drown the mealies. You can prob put your chicken farm in a giant bucket of water with like a tablespoon of dishsoap since yours is so big and jjst let it soak for 48 hours. Then after I did a hydrogen peroxide soak of the plant for 24 hours just to be safe that they were completely dead and repotted in fresh soil and threw it into my planty cabinet for rehab! Now hes fully recovered has beautiful 3 new leaves and NO mealies! Very healthy root system and ill have to repot him soon before taking him out because he filled the starbucks cup with roots which is so amazing! It took a few weeks but just continue to care for it as normal adding the super thrive in water as fertilizer helps a lot while it's recovering. Hopefully this helps and maybe gives you some hope!!
I love using the smart plugs it does use more internet than i thought. Also, it will slow it down if having too many connected. So i went back using some autotimer. Looking amazing!
I just got a variegated Maranta (and an outer variegated hoya polyneura & a dark anthurium hybrid!!) a few weeks ago!! I liked them in other people's collections, but seeing it in person (my first time going to a planty market event!) it's so much more incredible so I had to get it!! I'd love to eventually do trades with people, but most people in planty communities seem to be on the other side of Canada from me (I'm in NS and most are BC, AB, or ON😅)
How good are smart plugs. Them with Alexa are so good. You can set them to turn on at sunrise and off at sunset each day so it adjusts with the seasons if you wanted. I ask it to turn them off if I want them off earlier than scheduled ie watching a movie and don’t want the glare. I also use my grow lights as a bit of home security so it always looks like someone is home. Super handy to even be able to turn lights on and off when you’re away from home. With your Hoya Chicken Farm, would you consider spraying it and then chuck it outside for spring/ summer and let the local bugs do their thing? In Australia, we have white oil (aerosol) and something called scale gun. These are amazing for getting rid of scale and mealys (just have to leave them out of direct light for a day or so due to the oil and potential to burn). I usually only have to thoroughly spray once, occasionally twice. Otherwise I often just chuck them in my yard somewhere with suitable light/ hang it off a tree and let the bugs and ants do their thing and 99% of the time are fine. Also I’ve always wanted a bunny ear cactus but like asparagus ferns, they are banned where I live and aren’t sold in stores. Looks like I’m not missing out on too much lol Loving these videos. Inspires me to get focus and organised with my collection especially over “winter” which is still 20+ degree days 😂 but I’m much more enthusiastic about getting things done when it’s not 35 degrees and humid.
The moment that you said that the Vittsjo is a work in progress, "it's always a work in progress" popped into my head, just as you said it. I think that we just have to have the mindset that that is just baseline. You have inspired me the most, of the planty persons that I follow online. Thanks for all of your content. My Milsbo tall needs some love, as well, so I need to jet off the Patreon to get some more inspiration!
I just subscribed. I have watched about ten of your videos this week! Learning about Hoyas because I am starting. I have two. Do you have a recommended video on what to do when we buy a Hoya and the process of pest prevention, quarantine, and anything else that we should do bringing a new plant into our home? Thanks tons!! I am putting together my Ikea cabinet tonight!!
I was honestly cackling throughout this entire video and it was so necessary!! Your videos always inspire me and cheer me up and I'm so appreciative of that. Lovely reset!! And don't worry-- you'll conquer those pesky scale one way or another! Maybe its time for some more predatory mites? Ive been considering getting some myself before it gets super warm here. Anyway, Happy Home-iversary!!
Smashed avocado on toast. Super Yum!!!!!! Loved seeing Olive and the Olive pot!!!! I would love a Maranta - Silver Band. I recently purchased a Maranta - Lemon Lime and Cat Moustache. Both are now in Leca. Those large trellises are great. Your hoyas look amazing.
Yessss i love thoes Cactus but.... they can be HELL ...as long as you keep it away from where you will reaching around an all for watering or ann i always get the spines in my hand when watering or moving plants that its near but.. if you get some in your hand or wherever i use tape to get them out it works well i love then tho lol😅
I did the same and ordered the Bluetooth/wi-fi timers. I ended up ordering four sets of four so I have basically 16 timers on my app that I control. I love them.
Great video as always. Love hanging out with you through the internet 💚🌿 I have my grow lights set on 12 hour timers, they have 3 timing options. I’ve tried to sync them up to the same time but given its manual buttons on the switch they’re not perfectly in sync! Especially not in different rooms 😅 It’s so much easier having them on timers imo given everything else we have to remember to do as humans! 💚💚💚 xxx
Just watched your newest video on the other channel! Fern videos always brighten my gloomy days! And then motivate me to do the planty chores that I was putting off due to said gloom! ❤ Also, I must know where you get your rings! They are stunning!
Don't be afraid of the bunny ear cactus, it is the only safe one in that group. You stroked it and nothing happened to you, right? I have one and touch it all the time. I did, however, buy one of the unsafe ones and it was terrible. Those little glocids came off so easily and got all over my hands and arms so quickly in a matter of minutes without me doing anything. And it was quite painful, too. I returned it promptly and got my money back. But I love my bunny ear one.
You all need to subscribe to this channel. Fern is the cutest ever ,so funny, 16:43 presents really nice videos has beautiful plants ,all around great person.
Thanks for another awesome video! Fern I think I made a mistake..I have moved my BIG plants outside and have hung a few on my deck..But now ,besides worrying about pests in them, I find watering is more of a hassle. I have been forgetting to water them or when I do its hose water and no nutrients.. Anyway just trying to figure it all out but its nice to be able to share with peeps who totally understand Kisses to Olive ❤️🐕 And I also ordered from Crystal Star Nursery. I planted some pings together and now they are starting to rot 😢 I took some leaves to start new plants but I am shook! They can’t die..
Your plant stands look fantastic! I love cleaning and organizing my plants and where they sit. Hahahahaha. I need a timer I like that a lot. Thank you Fern! 🤗
The bunny ear cactus they are cute plants. I had them in the past. There furry spines you don’t really see them but they do get into your skin and is so painful you can feel them as if there inside your skin. 😣 You cannot get them out. Also they can get on your clothes too. There fluff can also come off and can be on the areas where you have them. I probably grow them outside if you really want them. Wow your Hoya Quinquenervia is growing so fast mine hasn’t given me any new leaves yet and i have it a year. Also want to say Happy one year house anniversary. 🎉Those big windows in your sitting room definitely a plus. Is actually a big space but with all your plants it feels like is hard to move around. For me i would have all my plants just at the window area on plant shelves. Also at the higher level too. Great area for succulents and cacti. That’s the way I displayed my plants at my south side window areas. And my kitchen window sills i have plants that takes the north side natural sunlights.
Hey Fern, loved this video...lots to glean from for my plant space so thank you 🙏🏼 I don't have timers on my lights and that's deliberate cos a) I don't have that many and b) when I switch them on I check on my plants then and there 😌 Your avocado toast looked scrumptious btw 🤤🤤I had toast too but went for comfort today cos I'm a little under the weather and had Peanut Butter ('Just Nuts' brand which is the healthier variety 😆) While watching/listening to you I manage to pot up my Silver Band props as well as my Iron Cross Begonia. So hopefully they will be happy and make it through the winter. It was really nice hanging out with you 🥰
Okay Fern, now I want to get Merantas again. I managed to unalive a few and never replaced them. I miss them! And they look so beautiful on my top shelf in the kitchen. The space is perfect, but I just didn't have them in the best setup. Might try self-watering. Props I cleaned up and potted over the past few weeks. And I vowed to no longer propagate just for the purpose of propagating. :D
Hey Fern!! There are extra large bamboo rounded trellis's at garden centers that are in the same shape as your Acrilic ones!!! They're not too expensive either. I think your Hoya will thank you!! Even the new large size trellis's barely looked like an upgrade when you stuck them in the pot😅 hope this helps!! Much love 💚
I don’t know if this questions already been asked, but with grow lights that have their built-in timer in their cord, such as Sansi grow lights, how do those work with the smart plugs? Because they turn on just fine but they just can’t turn off or turn back on. I haven’t finished your video yet, but I’ve tried Smart plugs in the past on these types of grow lights and they don’t work. So please show us or help us understand how that works with those type of grow lights, please?
Why do u have such a green thumb. I have mine black😅 my rosemary from cuttings, with roots small plants, big plant, no matter how I tried with rosemary and other plants, they died on me hehe
What is the plant behind you? Looks like it's on your millsbo and it has long narrow leaves. I've admired it in many videos and I know I saw one where you identified it but I can't find it. Thank you for all the planty content it's inspired me to get a lot done with my own. ❤
Honestly I am traumatized by the bunny cactus but I guess if anything you could just make sure you have tweezers at all time cuz you will be removing them off you at some point 😭
I got rid of my bunny ear cactus because she bit me a few times. If you can find somewhere to set it and just never touch it you’ll probably be ok. Like a pet scorpion 😂
I have had cuttings that take their time to root. I have started placing a cutting of pothos in with the troublesome plant. And I swear within a few days or week, I have roots. I don’t know how this works, but for me it helps.
I had 2 large bunny ear cactus that I did a trade with and even if the wind blew, I’d get tiny hair sun my skin. They hurt worse than fiberglass bc they’re so hard to get out of your skin. I left them outside during the winter and they died. Never again
For the Hoya trellis, Hoya collectors like to use rabbit fence as a trellis! There’s youtube video tutorials, but I’m not sure how easy it is to buy the material in Canada.
the bunny ear cactus has annoying spines, it's true, but if it's not somewhere windy or is not accidentally touched it should be fine. a good tip is to wet the cactus when handling, that way the water holds the spines wet and they don't fly anywhere.
I too have a lot of grow lights and have most of them on the outlet timers that you just installed. But you could have just plugged the strip into the one timer, I have quite a few set up like that.
I love my bunny ear cactus ! Yes it’s a hassle having to repot it and avoid the spikes but they’re so cute I honestly just let it be and it’s totally fine
Fern, I just want you to know that your channel brings me so much Joy and inspiration, so from one Canadian to another I am so proud of you and thank you for putting us on the map in this community!
been binging the last few of your videos this morning while i wfh and my dog takes her post-morning-walk nap...i just turned this one off to look something up, and she got upset with me for changing the vibe from your coziness🤣
Hi Fern! Thanks for the video :) the other day you posted an amazing fuzzy plant with a huge flower (I think!), do you know what the name of the plant is? Hopefully I an remembering and describing it accurately! 😂
That bunny eared cactus - as a young kiddo, my parents took cuttings from my grandparents’ plant. Put it all in a box in the back of our station wagon. We drove home with the windows open and the tiny little brown spines flew all over the car and all over us!! It was awful. Never drive with windows down with cactus in the car. 😂
Hey Fern, I’m all for multiple plants on poles, but I’ve found it unnecessary with my Jose Bueno. If I had yours, I’d go in and divide all those offsets. You could put 2 on a pole if that’s what you want. By dividing it you’ll be able to orient your plants correctly on the pole and you’ll probably end up with a few to sell/trade!
There's nothing like a Fern upload! Especially on a day off sick with retched period cramps! 💕😩 your hair is getting so long Fern!!
Aww feel better!!❤️🩹
I think I remember you getting a variagated Chiapense? Is that true? If so I would love to see it! that’s on my wish list for sure
❤❤❤😊😊😊love you Fern

Bless you, Fern, for turning my morning around! Such a ray of sunshine 🥰🌞🪴
I just plug my power bar into the smart plug and then the entire power bar becomes a smart power bar 😊
Same. I have also -not saying it’s safe - use a smart power bar and plug other power bars into kr
I only have analog timers but I do that as well. Usually the manufacturer put a max wattage on there but if you're unsure u could always try asking them the max watt 😊

I noticed that too, and yes in fact it does 😂

I deff think you should separate the thai cons and keep them both! #badinfluence 🤭 unless you really can't find the space. Lol
Stupid scale! Why do bugs have to get on indoor plants? Doesn’t make sense at all. 😩
I am very interested to see a ping kingdom

I love my Bunny Ear Cactus. His name is Mickey, and he’s my favorite cactus. I do not enjoy bumping him, but I love him. ❤️

Hey Fern!! There are extra large bamboo rounded trellis's at garden centers that are in the same shape as your Acrilic ones!!! They're not too expensive either. I think your Hoya will thank you!!

I think it’s a good idea to separate your Thai. I think one needs all the soil it can get and having two would be incredibly tight for them.
I'm just wondering if there's anyway that we could kick up the giggling just a little bit I don't feel that there's enough giggling in your videos 😂
Why do u have such a green thumb. I have mine black😅 my rosemary from cuttings, with roots small plants, big plant, no matter how I tried with rosemary and other plants, they died on me hehe

I love my bunny ear cactus ! Yes it’s a hassle having to repot it and avoid the spikes but they’re so cute I honestly just let it be and it’s totally fine
Am I the only one who cuts off the maranta blooms? They’re cute, but I prefer the foliage.
Ahh yes. Looking forward to catching up on this after work! That’s when I do most of my plant chores lol
My lowes had a silver band maranta and I was soooo temped to get it, but I kill every maranta I get so I didn't. 😢
You could try a nice tree branch to trellis your extra large hoya!
I am not a fan of Hoya, but holy cow I would take yours in a heartbeat. Beautiful!

Oh noo, you tossed the 'new' amydrium medium silver aswell? So sad😢
Maybe put that huge Hoya on a moss pole? Wrap it around and down?

Hi Fern, I am unable to find any clear trellises. Where do you order yours please?

Hey Fern! Is there a model number for those Fiskar snips you are using?

Thank you for turning my morning around Fern, we appreciate you!
Hi Fern! Thanks for the video :) the other day you posted an amazing fuzzy plant with a huge flower (I think!), do you know what the name of the plant is? Hopefully I an remembering and describing it accurately! 😂
*posted on Instagram stories I think! 😊
That bunny eared cactus - as a young kiddo, my parents took cuttings from my grandparents’ plant. Put it all in a box in the back of our station wagon. We drove home with the windows open and the tiny little brown spines flew all over the car and all over us!! It was awful. Never drive with windows down with cactus in the car. 😂
omgggg hahaha
Hey Fern, I’m all for multiple plants on poles, but I’ve found it unnecessary with my Jose Bueno. If I had yours, I’d go in and divide all those offsets. You could put 2 on a pole if that’s what you want.
By dividing it you’ll be able to orient your plants correctly on the pole and you’ll probably end up with a few to sell/trade!
This is a good idea! I’ll see if I can separate off the main vine 😊
Gah! That Olive pot from Svetlana!!!!!!!
YOu may want to look at topiary frames for your hoyas
I have my bedroom fan on a smart plug!! 😉
Oh my… I’ve been doing plant “chores” all morning. Taking a tea break and FERN pops up.
😊
Nothing makes my day like a Fern upload ❤ I’m also dying for your plant lady mug, do you know where it’s from? 😍
