That silver sword is GLORIOUS. I got mine with 4 leaves and it’s pushing out its 9th! I’ve only had it for 4 months or so now! They’re incredibly fast growing!!!
I love that this is the 'smaller' collection because wow that is still a TON of plants. New to the indoor plant hobby and have been loving your videos. I think you have the right idea about not having duplicates and just having a more curated collection of only the plants that 'spark joy'. Makes more sense than having more plants for no reason other than to have them and feeling so so about them. Can't wait to see more videos.
I've had my red veined maranta for about a year and a half now and I have noticed that the leaves seem to darken over time. I wondered the same thing when I got it and assumed it needed lower light to get that color, but the leaves still came out lighter, so I just left it in the same place and eventually the leaves did get darker. But it does take a while after they come out to do that🤷
I have a giant calathea warscewiczii and grab everyone’s sad ones off my local plant groups. If you have space in your plant cabinet, pop it in there. It will take off in that high humidity. All the sad ones I’ve picked up live in my prop boxes until they have multiple leaves and growth points. Once larger they move out of the boxes. They do a lot better living outside of my prop boxes when they are a bigger plant.
Hi Fern! Surprisingly I learned that my micans does better in lower light. I used to have in under a grow light and the leaves were coming out small and red in colour. Since I moved it into a north facing situation, I’m finally starting to get the dark, beautiful micans leaves and it’s starting to trail!
Really? I'm moving mine now.. had it in a filtered west window. It was growing like crazy but very red leaves. Was missing the green ones on the top side.. thanks!
This!!! I have my micans 6ft back from a Northwest window and its growing amazing! Big, gorgeous leaves that are such a deep, dark green. The undersides are such a beautiful red color and in the evening, in lower light the tops of the leaves actually look black! I had been wanting a micans for years but was always too nervous to get one cuz I heard they can be finicky, but mine has been doing fantastic!
I'm so glad I read the comments! I'll be moving my micans back from its window today. It's been growing pretty steadily but with small leaves & not very dark. Thanks for the info
YES, I have to water literally all of my 150 plants today and now I can watch this, Thankyouuu!!! I’m living for the long vlogs and videos you’ve been putting out 😍
As to your Red Maranta, I’ve read they’re darker in less light? I was finding more light leaves on mine as well and so I moved her into a darker spot, not enough time has passed to tell though 🤞🏻 And for sure less light for Micans, you’ll get that dark, rich foliage in lower light 👌🏻 Your compacta has come SO FAR! I was playing your videos in the background the other day and that video where you repotted and potted up pieces together when it was just a baby came on. The spoons you used made me laugh but I had to stop and take notice how much it’s grown in that time! 👏🏻❤️
I've rewatched this a few times. I love seeing all your lil plant babes, and it really helps me feel less burned out by my own. I work in a greenhouse for a living, so I do plants all day and then come home and do plants, and sometimes I like to be reminded how much I love plants because it can be a lot, lol. So, thank you(:
So excited for this one :O I was literally just watching an old video of yours, i've been watching for the third time :D Now I can watch a new one :) wheey :)
I really love the plants you've held on to! So many of them are my favs as well. I love what you've done with your new place so far! Also, happy that the pot didn't break!
Over an hour tour?!?! you just made my day Fern, TY! As for the micans, I have mine on a plant shelf thats kinda in the corner in between an east facing and north facing window. It's pulled back about a meter or so from the east facing window and maybe a 1/2 meter from the north facing window. So it gets maybe 1-2 hours direct morning sun otherwise med/bright indirect light and its growing like a weed. I was actually very surprised to see you have it in a south facing window
Thank you for sharing your wins ánd your losses! I feel so terrible when I have a plant die on me and sometimes feel like everyone has the perfect green thumb. It makes me glad to learn that it is normal to have some struggles and lose plants even when you have tons of experience. Loved the complete tour of your place 💚💚💚
I always love your plant tours and seeing all the progress. Some thoughts on your questions. Red maranta: like the gloriosum and other velvety plants, I find they are darker with less light. Variegated SoH, I find mine a thirsty little thing. I have mine in a terracotta pot and find I need to water every 3 day in a south facing window. Micans, I too struggled and mine would grow then I'd lose a bunch of leaves, lather rinse repeat. I suggest you move it away from a south window because mine looked that bleached out before it went on a shedding frenzy. You can't let them dry out as much. another philos but I do think it gets rot very easily. I finally gave up on a big basket so I bought an 8" for $50 recently lol. I can't wait to see your video on your melano. I just don't know how to 'read' the plant yet, whether the leave should be soft like a mican or more firm like a giags. My largest leaf is about 2.5 inches so still very much a baby plant. Your brasil leaves are massive and I was so happy to see a growth point on your Thai knowing it was such a struggle for you.
Hi Fern🙃 a little tip to help u remember monsteras' names- in Latin, like in French, German or Polish, nouns have gender, and the endings of adjectives change accordingly. Monstera is a female,so +a MonsterA- deliciosA, pinnatipartitA, siltepecanA,etc Philodendron - subhastatum, hederaceum, gloriosum Obviously this is just for the Latin names with adjectives, not ones named after people, or for trade names. /love your collection🥰 and You🥰 and Olive 🥰❤
When I shipped my succulents during a move, all of my succulents ended up rotting. But mine was probably because they were in shipment for a week in a box - with my mistake, tropical plants. The moisture was too much for them I think. They are more sensitive than I realized. You have all of my dream plants, that large silversword (I had to sell my large one and two weeks ago bought a baby one), the Florida beauty, the painted lady and the Standleyana okay pretty much your whole collection. I had to start over with my collection and I only have about 20 plants (apposed to 70 + props) and they are all baby plants. I feel so impatient waiting for them to grow. But I am glad my mindset on plant collecting has changed into appreciating what I have more and instead I continue to journal about plants which helps with the consumerism inclination I have. Loved the long video. Gave me motivation to clean my kitchen & loving room. Lastly, how often have you tried growing from seed? Ever grow cacti or succulent seeds? I know you've got a bunch of people to respond to so I'm done. Have a wonderful day!
Awe starting over is hard, I find myself missing my larger trailing plants, but I know with some patience my collection will get there again :) I have grown cactus from seed once, it went well but you need a lot of patience as it can be a couple of years before they are small plants that can be potted up. Still very fun to do. Thanks so much for watching + commenting!
Omg when I kept seeing the comments say this is 1 hourrrrrr i’m pretty sure my heart just skipped a beat ahahahahhah loveeee your videos it would mean the world of you answered loveeee 💕
Prayer plant leaves mature over time ❤️. Yours look absolutely amazing! Mine is in very very bright light also, one of my brightest windows. I know a lot of people say they don’t like a lot of light, but mine LOVE bright bright light. Where the suns rays shine a little throughout the day. All of my foliage is super dark, so I would just give it more light, and more time to mature. ❤️ Love you girl.
Hi, Fern. You shold definately put your warscewiczii calathea in a greenhouse cabinet. Or somevere near humidifier. She will never look and grouw well wihtout hight humiditi . Thanks for a great video!
Oh my planty heart! Just the video I needed to relax to today! And much appreciation for the amount of work it takes to make these videos. I’ve recently started my own art business and the social media involved for work is a deep rabbit hole I never expected. You rock!
If you give the micans bright indirect light, the leaves will darken slightly and get more sheen. It is getting too much direct light. Awesome video. Thank you for taking the time for us to show us your plant babes! Adore your hair btw.
I have my ghost euphorbia in a north window and it seems to love it. Been growing like crazy and has lots of cute lil leaves. (Some are half white/half green) I can't choose a favorite plant but that one is definitely in my top 10
So I’m in Texas and I’m sure the sun being more intense here plays a role, but my Micans love love loves being up against my big northeast facing windows. Big leafs with suuper red/pink baby hues. About 400-1000 foot candles through a day in spring.
Morning, Your Calathea with the leaf damage, that is growing near your Hoya Compacta, appears to be humidity issue. It appears it is only 19 in that room. You have some great plants in your collection. Happy growing.
I have a thin lace curtain in my north facing ( your south facing) window, where my micans is. The leaves are as big as my hand or bigger. Those are my bottom leaves! Put some hanging soft cotton or a screen in your window....that will do the trick. Cheers, Jo.
For micans' dark foliage, I recommend an east window. And from my experience, it only pushes out big leaves once it's trailing! So if you'll give it a plank and attach it should create aerial roots that will attach themselves...
Girl I switched some of my struggling succs to plastic pots because they were shriveled and not getting enough water and they exploded w growth!!! Maybe some of yours would do better w more water or maybe a plastic pot
Everytime i decide no more plants, I watch your video and see one more to add to my list. That Hoya Serpent I believe that's how you spelled it, is a must have.
Oh yeah, about the Micans. I’ve found that they really don’t like a lot of light. Kaitlyn Louise said that she keeps her in a pretty dark room, and I’ve discovered mine does well in medium light. I would suggest moving it farther away from the southern window.
Loved the tour! For the Red Maranta dark leaves issue I'd guess that is a mix of light and maturity. Old leaves will probably go darker with time, but also if they're in the bottom they will be receiving less light. I know because my Maranta lives really far from the window and has almost only darker leaves,with the new ones being slightly brighter. =)
My micans was growing sooooo slow and I had heard they like very dappled light so I moved it about 10 ft from a small south window (it used to be in the windowsill) and it doubled in size so quickly
When I placed 1 of my little jade satins in my grow tent, it immediately started having new growth after not doing anything for about 4 months. So I placed my other little plant in my grow tent and its currently unfurling a leaf after not showing new growth for a couple months and actually having a couple cuttings die back.
I've always noticed the bear paws have a distinct smell but idk if it smells like honey to me. It's definitely a very distinct smell though, so funny that you mentioned it. Glad to see you getting settled in your new home 🥰
Micans can take some direct sun if acclimated, so it’s probably not getting to much light, they actually have this beautiful red tinge to them when they do. With the white ghost I actually had really good luck when I had mine in coco choir chunks and some really chunky soil. I would maybe take one of those little arms and try to get some insurance by propagating. Mine live outside and I know our climates are opposite but on hot nice days if you can stick it outside I would , get some extra sun
Hi Fern. I came across your channel a couple months ago and I am obsessed with your videos! Currently in the process of building my own Ikea Greenhouse cabinet after I saw your video. I bought two philodendron Micans a couple months back and have one right beside my big north facing window and the other one pulled back about 9 feet from the same large north facing window and they are both loving life! The one that is right beside the window definitely has more growth but they are both growing like crazy!
I give my philodendron micans a good dose of sunlight I even have my full pot outside that receives northern indirect light and some west direct sunlight during sunset and the colors are more red and vibrant and it grows faster. I think the key is direct light maybe an hour or 3 just acclimate your plant before putting them on direct sun to avoid chances of burn. but take my advice as a grain of salt, I live in a tropical climate and we do not get any colder negative temperatures. 😊
Did some planty business while watching this video throughout the evening. LOVE long videos. Thanks for taking the time to film and edit such a long one. Your plants are gorgeous... cannot wait to see your Brazil once it really takes off up that pole. It looks pretty darn beautiful as it sits right now but oooh it's gonna be something special on the pole no doubt. 👌🌿
For your begonia darthvaderiana, use purified water. I struggled with this plant as well and as soon as I started using water from my Brita, it exploded in growth and stopped the crisping.
I am amazed at how your collection has changed and grown over time!! Also I heard that placing monstera areal roots in water will cause the plant to put out a ton of new growth! Maybe that will help your albo put out more leaves 💚
Ive just gotten thrips on my entire syngonium collection because they were all in the same cabinet .... so I feel you! The pests are coming out this fall
Yeah I feel like Micans leaves can get weird and damaged in direct sunlight. Mine seems pretty happy like 10-12 feet away from my South facing windows (in an overall really bright room with a ton of big south facing windows), getting probably medium indirect light. It looks a lot healthier now than when I had it right by a south window.
Hey girl! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! I LOVE YOUR plant tours!!! Ahh!! Been so excited for this one! So my Euphorbia Lactea, the White Ghost 👻, it’s been growing big time this growing season-I always give it bright direct/indirect (mostly direct) light and water it when it gets dry (Euphorbia need more water than cacti). Keep sharing Growth Updates !!! And dang !!! That Aloe!!! He be aight !!!
My micans definitely can't sit right in a windowsill (at least not in a north facing one - southern hemisphere, so south facing for you) or it gets burn damage on it's leaves. You just start seeing a little pinkish/yellowish tinge that gets redder the more sun it gets. I have it still by my north facing window but not directly in the window like you have. I also have sheer curtains on the window which helps filter the light.
I think the south window might be a little too much for the Micans, which may be why he is looking too stressed. I give mine direct light, but it’s from my east facing window. Loveeee the longer video. ❤️❤️
Your McDowell looks more like a pazta, does the new leaf come in with a pink tone or just green? I know the two are easily mislabeled. There was a really interesting write up on it in the Philo Enthusiast page.
Yay. Thank you for the tour. I started cracking up when you got to your rattlesnake calathea, because all you said was “this is my rattlesnake calathea, she’s just chillin” 🤣. Anyone who has one knows, that’s all they do. Beautiful, must have plant, but that’s all they do 😄. You literally talked about every plant but that one. 😁. I just got a baby silver sword in August, and it’s quickly becoming a favorite. It grows so fast, and it’s beautiful. Your collection is gorgeous. 😍
I just wanna say ur my fav plant youtuber because we have the same type of environment (I live in mid-minnesota) and our plants seem to behave similarly due to the climate closeness!
Omg, this was so fun to watch! I loved hearing that each of your plants is your absolute favorite and that you absolutely love them LOL 🤣🤣🤣 that's a really great sign!
My Euphorbia lactea grows so well! its up to my waist! what kind of soil do you use for it? I put it in a cactus mix and it does well with it. But I also put it in a area with full sun
My Micans was in a south window with filtered light. It was way to much sun.. It become very golden & the leafs grew really small. It never recovered. Will never put near a south window again.
Love your plants! We have the same taste! I saw alot of the same plants I have! I would definitely move the syngonium llano carti away from South window tho, they don't like that much direct light 🥰 they will keep that dark shiny foliage in alittle lower light and lots of humidity. Keep making these awesome videos!!
So fun to see the new place and this version of your collection!! Also, you know you watch too many videos when the outro music is missing and you hear it in your head anyway HAHA
Your Krimson Queen gives me life. KQs are my favourite plant. 🖤🖤🖤🖤 Also... I'm pretty sure the dots you were concerned about near the midrib of your P. Billietiae were just the extra-floral nectaries (EFNs). Totally normal! ( tried to see if anyone else mentioned this first but couldn't find anyone that did.)
@@wildfern No problem! I know the EFNs can be weird. The ones on my Ph. AxB are, for sure, especially the ones on the stem and petioles that like to push the sap out.
Oh gosh!!! I hope you don’t take this as a dis, but you look so much like David Bowie (Ziggy Stardust) and I love it. I’ve just stumbled across your videos and I’m loving it.
An hour and three mins?! This is about to make my whole day🤩
Enjoy!! 😍😍
And it definitely made mine!
@@wildfern qq
Omg I needed this. My boyfriend of 4 years and I just broke up and I am struggling. This really calmed me down and brightened up my day. Thanks Fern 💕
Withlacoochee is a Muscogee word meaning "little big water" and refers to the Withlacoochee River in Florida! 💕
Thank you for that translation. Little big water sounds too cute as a River name.
The lighter leaves on the Maranta leuconeura will darken as they mature, thanks for another beautiful plant tour!
Thank you!!! I really appreciate the info
That silver sword is GLORIOUS. I got mine with 4 leaves and it’s pushing out its 9th! I’ve only had it for 4 months or so now! They’re incredibly fast growing!!!

Really? I'm moving mine now.. had it in a filtered west window. It was growing like crazy but very red leaves. Was missing the green ones on the top side.. thanks!
Mine is in a west facing window but it’s sort of blocked from the light and has been growing like crazy
Mine is also in a north window and its doing amazing!!
This!!! I have my micans 6ft back from a Northwest window and its growing amazing! Big, gorgeous leaves that are such a deep, dark green.

YES, I have to water literally all of my 150 plants today and now I can watch this, Thankyouuu!!!
I’m living for the long vlogs and videos you’ve been putting out 😍
Ahhh perfect thank you!!
YAS living for this one hour video! You’re the only planty lady I watch on UA-cam now. Love your videos!
Awww thanks for watching!!
I’m off from work today and now I can sleep in and watch this ☺️👍 what a perfect morning (and it’s raining! 💜)
As to your Red Maranta, I’ve read they’re darker in less light? I was finding more light leaves on mine as well and so I moved her into a darker spot, not enough time has passed to tell though 🤞🏻
And for sure less light for Micans, you’ll get that dark, rich foliage in lower light 👌🏻
Your compacta has come SO FAR! I was playing your videos in the background the other day and that video where you repotted and potted up pieces together when it was just a baby came on. The spoons you used made me laugh but I had to stop and take notice how much it’s grown in that time! 👏🏻❤️
I was watching the bear paw part and had my heart like this 💖 because mine’s flowering right now. It definitely smells like raw pure honey!!! ❤️
Ahhhh so cute!! 🐻
Yayyyyyyyyy this is so exciting!!!!! Who needs Netflix when there is wildfern!!!!! 😍
I've rewatched this a few times. I love seeing all your lil plant babes, and it really helps me feel less burned out by my own. I work in a greenhouse for a living, so I do plants all day and then come home and do plants, and sometimes I like to be reminded how much I love plants because it can be a lot, lol. So, thank you(:
💚💚💚
the begonia jula looks like a butterfly 🥰😻
Not to be dramatic but this hour long video from you is the only thing getting me through my day today lol thank you for blessing us
So excited for this one :O I was literally just watching an old video of yours, i've been watching for the third time :D Now I can watch a new one :) wheey :)
Awwww thanks so much! Yes enjoy :)
Hahaha saaaame!!
I really love the plants you've held on to! So many of them are my favs as well. I love what you've done with your new place so far! Also, happy that the pot didn't break!
Over an hour tour?!?! you just made my day Fern, TY! As for the micans, I have mine on a plant shelf thats kinda in the corner in between an east facing and north facing window.

Hi, Fern. You shold definately put your warscewiczii calathea in a greenhouse cabinet. Or somevere near humidifier. She will never look and grouw well wihtout hight humiditi .
Thanks for a great video!
Oh my planty heart! Just the video I needed to relax to today! And much appreciation for the amount of work it takes to make these videos. I’ve recently started my own art business and the social media involved for work is a deep rabbit hole I never expected. You rock!

I have my ghost euphorbia in a north window and it seems to love it. Been growing like crazy and has lots of cute lil leaves. (Some are half white/half green) I can't choose a favorite plant but that one is definitely in my top 10
So I’m in Texas and I’m sure the sun being more intense here plays a role, but my Micans love love loves being up against my big northeast facing windows. Big leafs with suuper red/pink baby hues. About 400-1000 foot candles through a day in spring.
I've been battling thrips for over a year off and on. I'm using beneficial insects now. It's so far the best option I've tried so far!
Morning, Your Calathea with the leaf damage, that is growing near your Hoya Compacta, appears to be humidity issue. It appears it is only 19 in that room. You have some great plants in your collection. Happy growing.
Yay a long video!! Truly my favourite plant youtuber ❤️
My Hoya Obovata did nothing for months. I put it in Leca and it started growing. A year later I have blooms coming!
I have a thin lace curtain in my north facing ( your south facing) window, where my micans is. The leaves are as big as my hand or bigger. Those are my bottom leaves!
Put some hanging soft cotton or a screen in your window....that will do the trick.
Cheers, Jo.
Yay! I have a day off today so I can actually watch this the day it’s posted!
Ahhh yay! Enjoy your day off!
Thank you! Doing planty things alllll day! 🌱
I was fully trippin for a minute and thought your kitchen window was just really dirty lol. Love that this is an hour long yayyyy
Hahahaha 😂😂 I am dyyying at you dropping the mountain aloe!! So unexpected, yet so relatable 😅
For micans' dark foliage, I recommend an east window. And from my experience, it only pushes out big leaves once it's trailing! So if you'll give it a plank and attach it should create aerial roots that will attach themselves...
I don't collect hoyas but wo!!! That Hoya Caudata Sumatra is really something🤗So gorgeous🤗
Just loved ❤️ your plants needed this🍃 put me at peace.
Plant lover too. Many blessings out you always 🖐❤🙏
an hour long video is perfect for cardio at the gym!
Girl I switched some of my struggling succs to plastic pots because they were shriveled and not getting enough water and they exploded w growth!!! Maybe some of yours would do better w more water or maybe a plastic pot
Everytime i decide no more plants, I watch your video and see one more to add to my list. That Hoya Serpent I believe that's how you spelled it, is a must have.
Loved seeing all your plants in the new place..🤎
Definitely loved the length of this video. 👏😁
Oh yeah, about the Micans. I’ve found that they really don’t like a lot of light. Kaitlyn Louise said that she keeps her in a pretty dark room, and I’ve discovered mine does well in medium light. I would suggest moving it farther away from the southern window.
P. torums are cool. Your whole collection is cool. Cool. I think about half of your collection is on my wish list.
I found that my Micans enjoys lower light. I moved her from under my grow lights to a north facing window and she is doing so much better 💚🪴🌱🌿
Loved the tour! For the Red Maranta dark leaves issue I'd guess that is a mix of light and maturity. Old leaves will probably go darker with time, but also if they're in the bottom they will be receiving less light. I know because my Maranta lives really far from the window and has almost only darker leaves,with the new ones being slightly brighter. =)
Omg how pretty you are! 🤩 amazing plant collection too!
My micans was growing sooooo slow and I had heard they like very dappled light so I moved it about 10 ft from a small south window (it used to be in the windowsill) and it doubled in size so quickly
My micans was in lower light until I found mites in it. I repoted it and now it's under grow lights and seems to be liking that
When I placed 1 of my little jade satins in my grow tent, it immediately started having new growth after not doing anything for about 4 months. So I placed my other little plant in my grow tent and its currently unfurling a leaf after not showing new growth for a couple months and actually having a couple cuttings die back.
I've always noticed the bear paws have a distinct smell but idk if it smells like honey to me. It's definitely a very distinct smell though, so funny that you mentioned it. Glad to see you getting settled in your new home 🥰
Micans can take some direct sun if acclimated, so it’s probably not getting to much light, they actually have this beautiful red tinge to them when they do. With the white ghost I actually had really good luck when I had mine in coco choir chunks and some really chunky soil. I would maybe take one of those little arms and try to get some insurance by propagating. Mine live outside and I know our climates are opposite but on hot nice days if you can stick it outside I would , get some extra sun
Maybe watch out for thrips in your Billietiae? They usually leave markings that look like stripes.
Hi Fern. I came across your channel a couple months ago and I am obsessed with your videos! Currently in the process of building my own Ikea Greenhouse cabinet after I saw your video. I bought two philodendron Micans a couple months back and have one right beside my big north facing window and the other one pulled back about 9 feet from the same large north facing window and they are both loving life! The one that is right beside the window definitely has more growth but they are both growing like crazy!
So excited and AN HOUR 😍 lets go!!!!
lets goooo 👏
I really enjoyed this video and it's great to see you adapting to your new apartment.
I love you’re new place and I like all you’re plant collection. They are so healthy looking.
I agree. Raven ZZ and Hoya Carnosa Compacta variegated are slowest plants EVER.
i keep my micans more in shade. nice dark leaves. also let her climb and her leaves are huge!
I give my philodendron micans a good dose of sunlight I even have my full pot outside that receives northern indirect light and some west direct sunlight during sunset and the colors are more red and vibrant and it grows faster. I think the key is direct light maybe an hour or 3 just acclimate your plant before putting them on direct sun to avoid chances of burn. but take my advice as a grain of salt, I live in a tropical climate and we do not get any colder negative temperatures. 😊
Did some planty business while watching this video throughout the evening. LOVE long videos. Thanks for taking the time to film and edit such a long one. Your plants are gorgeous... cannot wait to see your Brazil once it really takes off up that pole. It looks pretty darn beautiful as it sits right now but oooh it's gonna be something special on the pole no doubt. 👌🌿
For your begonia darthvaderiana, use purified water. I struggled with this plant as well and as soon as I started using water from my Brita, it exploded in growth and stopped the crisping.
I am amazed at how your collection has changed and grown over time!! Also I heard that placing monstera areal roots in water will cause the plant to put out a ton of new growth! Maybe that will help your albo put out more leaves 💚
Ive just gotten thrips on my entire syngonium collection because they were all in the same cabinet .... so I feel you! The pests are coming out this fall
Absolutely loved that whole video. And yes I made it to the end 😁👏🌱💚. Big plant hugs from the U.K. 🤗
Oooh, just opened yt after a long day and saw that you posted a video and it's a hour long plant tour! Best, thank you, good start for the week 😍🪴
Ahhh thank you - enjoy!! 😊
I love the plants hanging on the bed frame
Yeah I feel like Micans leaves can get weird and damaged in direct sunlight. Mine seems pretty happy like 10-12 feet away from my South facing windows (in an overall really bright room with a ton of big south facing windows), getting probably medium indirect light. It looks a lot healthier now than when I had it right by a south window.
I accidentally burnt mine and I’m really trying to bring it back to its former glory now 😭
Okay great thanks so much! It would probably be perfect to hang it from my bed then.
Your hair looks so beautiful with that sweater! Definitely a good combo😊👍
Thank you!!!
Hey girl! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! I LOVE YOUR plant tours!!! Ahh!! Been so excited for this one!
So my Euphorbia Lactea, the White Ghost 👻, it’s been growing big time this growing season-I always give it bright direct/indirect (mostly direct) light and water it when it gets dry (Euphorbia need more water than cacti).
Keep sharing Growth Updates !!! And dang !!! That Aloe!!! He be aight !!!
Love the long video and the plant tour. Beautiful plants and love your new place.
My micans definitely can't sit right in a windowsill (at least not in a north facing one - southern hemisphere, so south facing for you) or it gets burn damage on it's leaves. You just start seeing a little pinkish/yellowish tinge that gets redder the more sun it gets. I have it still by my north facing window but not directly in the window like you have. I also have sheer curtains on the window which helps filter the light.
my brazilian lady loves being in pon too. it got way too big and i had to chop it back recently. they grow so fast!
I think the south window might be a little too much for the Micans, which may be why he is looking too stressed. I give mine direct light, but it’s from my east facing window. Loveeee the longer video. ❤️❤️
Your McDowell looks more like a pazta, does the new leaf come in with a pink tone or just green? I know the two are easily mislabeled. There was a really interesting write up on it in the Philo Enthusiast page.
I'm so invested in your thai constellation, would love to see more updates on it :D
Yay. Thank you for the tour. I started cracking up when you got to your rattlesnake calathea, because all you said was “this is my rattlesnake calathea, she’s just chillin” 🤣. Anyone who has one knows, that’s all they do. Beautiful, must have plant, but that’s all they do 😄. You literally talked about every plant but that one. 😁. I just got a baby silver sword in August, and it’s quickly becoming a favorite. It grows so fast, and it’s beautiful. Your collection is gorgeous. 😍
Omg!! I know what you're talking about with prayer plants losing a leaf every time they gain a leaf. I have some maranta cuttings that do this
I love ur hair so much!! So excited for this vid!!
I just wanna say ur my fav plant youtuber because we have the same type of environment (I live in mid-minnesota) and our plants seem to behave similarly due to the climate closeness!
Omg, this was so fun to watch! I loved hearing that each of your plants is your absolute favorite and that you absolutely love them LOL 🤣🤣🤣 that's a really great sign!
My Euphorbia lactea grows so well! its up to my waist! what kind of soil do you use for it? I put it in a cactus mix and it does well with it. But I also put it in a area with full sun
My Micans was in a south window with filtered light. It was way to much sun.. It become very golden & the leafs grew really small. It never recovered. Will never put near a south window again.
I really can't say i can choose ONE favorite from your plant family, they are all sooooo wonderful
Love your plants!
We have the same taste! I saw alot of the same plants I have!
I would definitely move the syngonium llano carti away from South window tho, they don't like that much direct light 🥰 they will keep that dark shiny foliage in alittle lower light and lots of humidity. Keep making these awesome videos!!
Thanks for watching Jenna 🥰
So fun to see the new place and this version of your collection!!
Also, you know you watch too many videos when the outro music is missing and you hear it in your head anyway HAHA
Try giving your string of hearts bright indirect light, direct can shrivel it❤️
geeez gal...u got the nails!!!!...wild indeed...Cheers!!!
Yay!!! So fun to finally see the collection in its new space!!! Looking good!!! :)
Micans like lower light I keep mine a couple feet away from a south facing window and it's grown so much
Your Krimson Queen gives me life. KQs are my favourite plant. 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Also... I'm pretty sure the dots you were concerned about near the midrib of your P. Billietiae were just the extra-floral nectaries (EFNs). Totally normal!
( tried to see if anyone else mentioned this first but couldn't find anyone that did.)
Yes I think you are right!! Thank you ☺️
@@wildfern No problem! I know the EFNs can be weird. The ones on my Ph. AxB are, for sure, especially the ones on the stem and petioles that like to push the sap out.
Oh gosh!!! I hope you don’t take this as a dis, but you look so much like David Bowie (Ziggy Stardust) and I love it. I’ve just stumbled across your videos and I’m loving it.
It took me three days in a row during my lunch break to get through this video, but I made it!
Oh my gosh thanks for watching Jessie ☺️❤️ happy to bring some plantiness to your lunch break x
Always so excited to see you've posted a new video, Fern! Love your 🐒 tail! I have one as well and cannot wait for it to grow long, thick and furry 😍
Great update They are all doing good with the change
I also have east facing, west reflecting light! Thank you white house neighbours, it’s the best!
