lol fern, I love how you’re always so concerned about the background noise, but I never ever hear what noises you get annoyed by lol. I didn’t even know they were doing construction 😂 love the videos 💖
So happy Greta is planted. When she was a big girl she was magnificent, but i understood why you had to chop her. Last year a found a beautiful one in a 8 inch pot with gorgeous big leaves and great variagation and had to repot her into a 10 inch pot, was drying out so much. Mine is hanging and love it, i dont use moss poles. Your Greta was my inspiration. Thank you for all you do. You are amazing ❤
I havent been keeping up lately, because ive been so jealous of your collection! I had to get rid of almost all of my plants when i moved last year, and the few i kept, died during winter 😢. But this video made me feel inspired to go get some new ones soon!! I will always appreciate your content Fern!
Love your videos and plant collection! I’m getting started in tissue culturing plants and also growing these hybrid purple tomatoes 🍅 Super excited to see how both progress over the year ❤
Hi Fern I would lik e to thank for a discount on Molly's mix I'm ready to try her bend now for the new spring growing season.I Hope your well and Happy . See you in the next Video 👋 ❤😊
I just started adding moss to the top of the soil around the anthurium/alocasias stems, seems to make them happier so far I do the same kinda plant purge, usually while doing other planty chores, realize there’s ones that don’t make me happy, they go! We’re moving to a new property with a big backyard, with a 1/2 wall planter and I’m so excited to do some outdoor gardening!!! Gonna do a veggie patch, plant some bulbs and put up a greenhouse!! Can’t wait! I’m with you on the amount of cuttings for a moss pole, 2-3 are perfect for what we wanna do, except for my Adensonii, it’s on a really wide pole though Queen Greta!
My frustration with outdoor gardening is what got me started with houseplants! We live up against 130 acres of the Angeles National Forest in the high desert of California (ie…not much green!) so anytime I plant anything out there, the wildlife vine from moules around to devoir it. I’ve tried everything. I think the only way I will be able to grow veggies outside is with a greenhouse. It’s on my wishlist!
I’m also in the PNW and I’ve got kale, broccolini, cherry tomatoes, and some verbena seedlings going! Just started germinating some bell peppers too 😊 this is only my second year outdoor gardening so I’m still getting this whole “starting plants from seed” thing figured out
I vote for Greta GTG as name. She’s ‘Good to Go’, ‘Good to Grow’ and def a ‘Good time Gal’ I’ve had a great time watching her make her comeback ❤️ Thanks for sharing the journey with us!
I’m experimenting with outdoor gardening this year! I’ve never been good at keeping flowers alive but I recently planted some dandelions in the front yard, and I’m growing spring onions in water!! I love little planty experiments
It has been beautiful the past week. In the 70 degree territory. Nearly 80 a couple days. I imagine you’ve been getting some nice weather too. Well that was nice, I’ve for gotten what I was going to say. lol. Old age. So far this is a nice video. I’ve got a couple up pots I need to do. One plant to cut back in hopes of getting some growth. It’s been stuck for theirs my crimson princess the past year. I’m not outdoor gardening though I have in the past. Thats all.
Fern, self watering hanging pots have been a game changer for me and my strap leaf anthurium. Actually, for all my anthurium. Plants I get in soil go into a very heavy TFF (50%) and aroid soil mix into self watering or no drainage. If they’re bare root they go in PON.
Idk how I missed this yesterday, bc I watched the vlog as soon as i got home from work.. but it was lovely having another new video to enjoy after work today as well 💚 I'm so excited to see how Greta does on the pole!! And as far as filming in advance and then showing updates right away that sounds great, but also what if you just showed us how last month's re-pots are doing at the end of re-pot videos? Obviously we just had the tour (which was amazing!!) so we've seen all current updates, but say if you repot in april you can show march's plants? Am I making sense? Idk maybe I'm just rambling? haha Happy Spring!! 🌱🌿🍃🌞
Cover pots! I just thrifted one yesterday that’s a ceramic bean pot (random, I know) that’s like 6 or so inches wide! Plus it’s glazed on the inside so it can retain water. Anyways, don’t forget to check the homewares!
I got some elephant ear bulbs that I started today! I live in the pnw too so I put them in pots and brought them inside. I was never a big outdoor plant person but I’m super excited to see how big they get this summer 😊
Hey Fern, I've really enjoyed watching this and all your current vids cos I'm pretending that we're in spring too🤭🙃 But obviously I'm prepping my plants for winter, getting the heat mat out again for my alocasia and other little props I'll me preparing in case the mother plants die over winter. AND I'm excited to set up my new tension Plant hanging pole (from an Aussie company called The Urban Jungle) as well as my one and only Soltech Aspect Grow Light with its Archetto Transparent Wall Mount....I'm so excited!!! Also, I will be re-arranging my 'plant room' (er... it's not really a room, it's just a section of my house in which sits my Baby Grand piano and my daughter's drum kit and around which about 60-70 plants live🤦🏻♀🫣) Anyways, those roots on your Vittarifolium looked like Stalactites haha! Very nice 👌🏼
The time change is a killer especially the older you get. I have struggled big time this year. My Circadian rhythm is totally screwed up I am getting maybe 4 hours sleep maybe 6 since the change.
I have the poles. I have the moss. I have the plants. I’ve somehow been scared to try actually putting them on the poles. I’m doing it this weekend! Seeing you do it so often has given me the confidence!
Lol. That's EXACTLY how I felt. I ended up just using a cutting I had a bunch of just a queen marble pothos so that if I ruined anything it wasn't the end of the world lol it gave me confidence and now im addicted. However ... that being said. There's nothing to be scared of lol. It's easy and they LOVE it. Lol.
I did the same thing. My Syngonium aurea, I just keep cutting back. I made one pole for my monstera and let the moss dry out. I may sell the second pole I bought. One moss pole is enough.
I have two monstera on one pole. Thats cause the two came together in one pot and I didn’t realize until I put on a pole. The roots are all intertwined so I le ft it as one.
I also feel like this year is super busy. I have my own wedding this year and also my soon to be sister in law’s. I keep on saying I can get a plant in a few months when finances stabilize but realistically I think my plant collection will be staying the same for a while (and hopefully while I’m busy I don’t have many plant deaths)
I think so too 😮 i’ll prob have to find another place to put it soon! The yellowing was on the props though and they weren’t in the window, I think it was just because they were so dehydrated when I cut them off x
love propagation videos!! you're making me wanna chop some of my plants or something👀 but fr I got some green lace wings to battle my thrip outbreak and I'm so excited to actaully do something about these little assholes... pray for me yall
That stem could have been laid horizontally in the soil (like how you lay wet sticks on moss). I've done this with several kinds of props and the new growth always grows out normally without issue 😊😊
If I plan to get rid of a plant that is bothering me, or is bothering itself, I do the 2 step rule. 1st step: Set outside. 2nd step: See if it survives in our NW weather. If it does, great, it lives the rest of it's life outside. If not, then fate chose.
I appreciate ALL your efforts Fern.. I hope you feel our love 💕 I have started tomatoes and leeks from seed. I have a raised garden bed to keep the rabbits out and my hubby is making me the “greenhouse” frame to sit on the sides of the garden bed. We will use some heavy plastic to drape over the frame and I am hoping I will have less critters eating bits of my tomatoes before I can pick them up.. I like Glow Greta 💚🐶
Help!! I’m having the hardest time propagating philo micans. How do you do it? Is it better to use sphagnum or perlite instead of water? My water prop for micans is unsuccessful 😩
Hey :) I'm sure you've said it before but I was wondering which sphagnum moss it is you use. I'm in Canada too (near toronto) everyone's I see online looks so pretty with pink kinda prettier colours (lol) the one I ordered off Amazon is blah beige and looks a lot less life like If that makes any sence at all lol) also was wondering a good perlite I can only seem to find miracle grow and I find that to be tiny and crappy.
Hi! The one that I’m using right now is from ravenvision-orchid-supplies.myshopify.com but I also love this one from crystal star: www.crystalstarnursery.com/collections/botanical-treasure-accessories/products/one-mile-sphagnum-moss
A vlog AND main channel post on the same crappy Monday?! What a delight 🥰
I was thinking the same thing! 😂

I never thought about having less cuttings when putting a plant on a moss pole!! Thanks for the advice, no wonder my epi albo isn’t growing that well!

If I were starting with cuttings then three or four would be good for me. It would depend on what they looked like.
Marble queen was my first plant too! I’ve still got it 🥹❤️
Mine too. It's was a mix, a marble queen and a golden pothos. I still have mine also.
Oh and it had a snow queen in there too. I love them all😊
awww I love that. it's a fantastic first plant!
Fern, self watering hanging pots have been a game changer for me and my strap leaf anthurium. Actually, for all my anthurium. Plants I get in soil go into a very heavy TFF (50%) and aroid soil mix into self watering or no drainage. If they’re bare root they go in PON.
Oh that sounds like what I need!! Where did you purchase those pots?

Cover pots! I just thrifted one yesterday that’s a ceramic bean pot (random, I know) that’s like 6 or so inches wide! Plus it’s glazed on the inside so it can retain water. Anyways, don’t forget to check the homewares!
Hello Fern! Happy Monday!! Hope you have a wonderful rest of your week 🥰
Hello and Happy Monday to you as well 🫶 tysm for watching x
I love this. I need to ppit my pothos in a pole. I finally got the supplies so now im super excited.
ahh that is super exciting! they look incredible when they size up. good luck :)
@@wildfern ty Fern. You inspire me Everytime I watch your videos. I hope to have my pothos look like yours
😊
I got some elephant ear bulbs that I started today! I live in the pnw too so I put them in pots and brought them inside. I was never a big outdoor plant person but I’m super excited to see how big they get this summer 😊
Hey Fern, I've really enjoyed watching this and all your current vids cos I'm pretending that we're in spring too🤭🙃 But obviously I'm prepping my plants for winter, getting the heat mat out again for my alocasia and other little props I'll me preparing in case the mother plants die over winter.

Very nice 👌🏼
Thanks Connie! I hope all of your winter prep goes well 😃 it sounds like you’ve got a really great setup, I’m sure they’ll be happy :)
Thank you for the content!! 👏🏼
I just upsized and put on a moss pole my Epipremnum Pinnatum Marble. I’m obsessed with her.
ahhh I actually just did the same with my pinnatum marble last week too 🙌 can't wait to watch it size up
I love Winners Homesense for cover pots!
oh yes me too! I need to pop in there again soon now that it's spring 👀
The time change is a killer especially the older you get. I have struggled big time this year. My Circadian rhythm is totally screwed up I am getting maybe 4 hours sleep maybe 6 since the change.

Greta, the returning wonder.
I’ve found so much Alex Kehm from watching your videos and I love them’ great choices in songs!
Love love your videos! You have a beautiful collection! I’m slowly growing mine! What’s your best care tips for plants in pon?
I also feel like this year is super busy. I have my own wedding this year and also my soon to be sister in law’s. I keep on saying I can get a plant in a few months when finances stabilize but realistically I think my plant collection will be staying the same for a while (and hopefully while I’m busy I don’t have many plant deaths)
I think a South facing window could be to strong for your anthurium. Maybe some of the discolor on the leaves are from sun bleaching.
I think so too 😮 i’ll prob have to find another place to put it soon! The yellowing was on the props though and they weren’t in the window, I think it was just because they were so dehydrated when I cut them off x
I love anthurium. Some just don't like me!! Have a great week!!
Gretchen like Gretchen Wieners (Mean Girls Movie). “Her leaves are so big because her moss is full of secrets”. 😆
omg hahah YES love that
Would love to see the jessina pothos on the pole
love propagation videos!! you're making me wanna chop some of my plants or something👀
but fr I got some green lace wings to battle my thrip outbreak and I'm so excited to actaully do something about these little assholes... pray for me yall
That stem could have been laid horizontally in the soil (like how you lay wet sticks on moss). I've done this with several kinds of props and the new growth always grows out normally without issue 😊😊
No the sun looks nice.
Cute little glow ups ✨ Love it 💗
soooo relaxing as usual 😩 love from France

Good video… I love the plastic for your moss pole. Did you cut them yourself or do you buy the plastic pre-cut?? And if so, where can I find them? Ty!
hi! they are from here: rousseauplant.care/wildfern (if you're interested in trying them you can use code wildfern to save 15%)
my marble queen was also one of my very first plants ! i’ve had her for almost 5 years now her name is roberta
Fern, I saw you put a pebble tray in the pot you were repotting your anthurium into. What is the reason for that
Maybe switch the anthuriums to self watering?
yes, I'd love to do that eventually. I'm slowly transitioning more and more plants to self-watering and it's awesome.
would you do self watering with pon or stick with soil? 😍
I took a week off (vacation) from work, so many things to do, and I am so stressed out that I cannot sleep at night, I am exhausted😢
I just cut up my Marble Queen, and now you have me actually considering putting some of it on a pole. And I’m not liking poles.....
where do you get that super chunky perlite ?!
I appreciate ALL your efforts Fern.. I hope you feel our love 💕 I have started tomatoes and leeks from seed. I have a raised garden bed to keep the rabbits out and my hubby is making me the “greenhouse” frame to sit on the sides of the garden bed. We will use some heavy plastic to drape over the frame and I am hoping I will have less critters eating bits of my tomatoes before I can pick them up.. I like Glow Greta 💚🐶
that sounds so awesome! lots to keep you (and hubby) busy :) I do feel the love, thank you so so much for always showing me so much support 🥺💚
Greta Two: Electric Boogaloo!!!!
Help!! I’m having the hardest time propagating philo micans. How do you do it? Is it better to use sphagnum or perlite instead of water? My water prop for micans is unsuccessful 😩
If you have Ross stores in your area, they sell super cute and cheap cover pots. Otherwise I thrift for mine!
No Ross in Canada 😢
You’re right, it does look crazy but will straighten out with the right light.
I'm not an expert, but is your area not humid enough? I've seen those crispy tips a lot in dry areas
I think it was because the propagations were dehydrated :( who knows though! my humidity is usually between 50-60%
Hey :) I'm sure you've said it before but I was wondering which sphagnum moss it is you use. I'm in Canada too (near toronto) everyone's I see online looks so pretty with pink kinda prettier colours (lol) the one I ordered off Amazon is blah beige and looks a lot less life like If that makes any sence at all lol) also was wondering a good perlite I can only seem to find miracle grow and I find that to be tiny and crappy.
hey! my favourite sphagnum is this one: www.crystalstarnursery.com/collections/botanical-treasure-accessories/products/one-mile-sphagnum-moss
& I haven't found a good perlite yet :( the one I was using is from a local nursery but it's very expensive
🥰

Anastasia means New Life maybe that's what you should name your plant that was formerly Greta😊
I love that!! :)

Would love to know the song that’s playing at 31:36 please!

Glow up Greta or Greta 2.0 has my vote!
