@@Heidilisk exactly. I’m looking at spring flower seeds for my front flower beds. They will need to be started in doors first so it’s not too soon to be thinking spring. It’s a few short mine weeks away.
My begonia Sinbad had those same weird blooms and I cut one open because that's just what I do. Begonias have male and female flowers on the same plant. Those are female flowers, if they get pollinated, that triangular shape will swell as seeds form. ☺️ pinch female buds off to prevent pollination and prolong blooming.
52:56 I personally LOVED your Wally grow wall with all of the full philos/scindapsus/pothoa varieties. It’s something about the fact it shows uniformity and variety at the same time. ❤
45:15 hey Fern! Not sure if someone else has commented on these flowers yet but these are the female begonia flowers! The smaller ones are male and if you pollinated the female they would produce seeds in that pouch section behind the bloom 🥰
5:07 YASSSS!! the books on the ledge! That’s what I’ve been screaming for a hot minute! It looks great! You could even add some decor and nicknacks to elevate it! 📚
SO excited to see more of your Vanilla plant, I’m also growing a vanilla in a cold climate and appreciate seeing other people’s journey with that particular plant. Mine has been a struggle and she’s not looking so hot right now but she seems to be on the rebound since I put her on a moss pole in a last ditch effort to save her, she’s sizing up a little and has multiple growth points, both for the first time in 3+ years of growth
Oh yay your vanilla orchid makes an appearance. I feel like it’s been awhile since you showed her off. Aphids ugh I brought in garlic chives that froze outside several times but still looked like it wanted to live. It started growing but had a bunch of aphids. I had no idea they could live through freezing temperatures and then emerge.
@ Apparently eggs can. Per my search Yes, aphid eggs in soil can survive freezing temperatures. Aphid eggs are very cold-hardy and can survive extended periods of cold weather. Luckily I caught it early so it’s only been the garlic chives but I’ve been paranoid about my houseplants.
You could also add an extension to the Splendid pole with an Roussou pole instead of the wire pole instead of airlayering it. I’ve done that before too because I also don’t like the wire poles. If you connect them properly it should work just fine! Great video as always, Fern 💚
Hey girl I’ve used a makeup kabuki brush with a tiny bit of dish soap and lukewarm water to wash off the sulphur and it works like a charm! Your Thai is just doing the most 🥹
I have a new leaf that just opened on my Thai. WOW! WOW! WOW! Your blooming Hoya is out of this world! What is the name? The windows are to die for. Thanks for sharing. Everything is gorgeous?
All your plants are so beautiful! I was struggling with all types of pests and couldn’t get them under control,this combination is what worked for me. I know you like more natural solutions but desperate times call for desperate measures. I use the sticky traps,but here in Australia they also come in bamboo skewers type,my favorite as less noticeable,also I resorted to putting systemic granules and I have almost zero pests,now and again I’ll find some mealies but I treat them with isopropyl alcohol,feels like I can take a break for the first time. Note# I never use sticky traps outdoors,as not to trap any beneficial insects. You have the most gorgeous begonias Fern. 💚🌿🌱🌵 Natalie
@ It must be working, they were one of my most problematic pests. I also found so many bugs stuck to the sticky traps, remember that male mealies fly. It was like a dream come true. 👍
I see olives stairs to get on the bed. I got a set of stairs from my niece for Christmas this this past year. I just need to clear the floor to se them up
Sooo many plants! I would die. Im happy with my 40. Any more than that, would be a chore that I wouldn’t enjoy. I love seeing these large collections that someone else has to care for 😁
PS everyone I'm not trying to sound like a know-it-all or or anything like that about the pest spray It's just like once you get rid of all the pests it makes your life so much easier and more fun as a grower. I just want to help. I've been growing for about 10 years and spraying that stuff for about 7 or 8, before I started doing it it was so hard and took a lot of the joy out and made you like fearful of the pest killing things. What made the hugest difference was the two weeks separate from the other plants and really spraying them that way you're not bringing any new pests in. I also don't bring any of my plants outside for the summer I guess you could really wash it off in the shower and do the two-week process just like you do new and coming stuff.
i feel like it might be too much light for your variegated maranta but i would also check the roots in my experience the roots are crazy sensitive but you won’t know there’s a problem for a long time they’ll just slowly go down hill
@ yeah i’ll have a maranta doing good for so long and one missed watering it all goes down hill and i’ll hope it recovers on its own but it never seems to go that way 😫 they’re lucky they’re so pretty lol
I believe that marantas really like warmth. That might be an issue with your variegated one in the wally grow. Also would like to see more detail on your hoya collection. You skipped by a lot of them since there was nothing new to report but I am still interested in your entire collection. Of course, your charming personality always shines through.
Maybe you can put clingfilm around the wire poles so it’s less work keeping up with the watering and the plants will develop more roots so it’s easier to chop if you decide to go for it.
Just noticed you hit 150k subs! Woot woot CONGRATS🎉 LOVE these walk through updates🪴🙌🏻💜 As for your variegated Maranta, mine does better in low medium light
@@chelsearuzesky2834 I’ve got mine in the kitchen by an east facing door with an overhead grow light. I been to cut it and propagate as it’s long it’s a hanging plant no is, sitting on a shelf.
February is pretty much the start of spring! Especially in the Pacific Northwest, if you look up mabon, it was a pagan festival celebrating the beginning of spring and the anticipation of growth 🎉
I love your videos so much Fern! You inspired me to start my own channel (not like I have more than 15 subscribers, but I still try😅) and I appreciate your content so so much.
Omg I just got my Sinningia in the mail! I saw yours forever ago and always needed one, it’s so tiny and in a 2” and SO FUZZY🥰 mine seems to be putting out leaves and came with some, but good to know they could die off and go dormant. I also just got a publicalix splash and I can’t wait to see that grow
That begonia is for sure pregnant. It’s super easy to pollinate flowers (just pick up pollen on one and put it on another flower). The seeds are like fine powder tho so good luck :D
Its really weird, i also have had a huge aphyd problem especially with overwintering on plants that have never had a significant amount for years- anyways always love your videos, your collection is just wow.
Hi Fern, love these walkthroughs! I totally understand you being done with your Jacklyn because of pests. Have you thought about just chopping the leaves and letting the plant regrow from the rhizome rather than corms? It is easier and would grow back larger leaves much faster. I noticed the same thing with your melo or Maharani.
Thank you so much for watching :) when something is really infested I prefer to just get rid of the whole thing, soil included. But that's a good idea too and I'd definitely consider it if it was something I felt was hard to replace and I didn't want to take a risk.
Your plants look great! Your videos always seem to pop up at the perfect time. IMHO, I think that soltech light is too strong for the variegated maranta. It looks a little bleached out. And I look forward to your spring videos in February. They make me look forward to the upcoming growing season 💚🌿
@@lindaholder2222 depends on how the wiring is in the house. I cane close to setting my wiring when I had a space heater in my living room. It blew out a circuit breaker and I could smell hit wires and traces it to switch in the wall where the switch was on. It was a switch needed to run that wall socket. When I took the switch plate off, it was a really strong smell of hot wires. I had to call an electrician who found partially melted wire in the wall where the switch plate was. It could have been disastrous.
You are the only person I seen with a philo. Gigas, you inspired me to add it to my wishlist. Well I got one and she's struggling. I need tipsssss they're so hard to find! Curled leaves and no new growth. I've done it all to make her happy to no avail. Help 😂
Oh nooo that is sucky :( mine doesn't get any special treatment. If you're giving it good care, the roots look healthy, and it's getting enough light and it's not doing anything I'd probably spray for pests just in case. You never know when flat mites are lurking and it's often why my plants don't grow. Good luck x
Hi Fern long time no see BUT OMG your baby's are so stunning Fern and your hair is looking so beautiful . Fern I need to know if you have a video on how to look for all bugs that get bugs.
I literally was just thinking when you moved over to the 1st window with the hoya like: "i wonder if she got rid of the jacklyn because she hasn't shown it" o.o
Perfect time for me to sit down and watch.. my issue is mites on my hoyas so theyve got 6 months.. I will treat them and if in June they are still taking ip space and doing nothing they will be tossed.. I can’t with the stress anymore
I mix water, peppermint Castel soap, alcool and peroxide and omg I have control over nats also and all. I spray the grown and plant no residue anywheres and dry fast.
Loved this video! Re-listened while commuting to work! Btw, isn't the hoya serpens a cool growing hoya? If you still have that, maybe try that in the bathroom?
Why do racoons tear up the lawn? Youve got to love those wild critters. Philodendron - Red Anderson, stunning 😍. Oooh!!! Paint swatches. Love your collection!!!
Just an FYI- The raccoons are eating the grubs under your lawn. Opossums also do this too. You can treat your lawn to kill the grubs or just let the furry critters chow down on them.
You have both the pallidiflorum and the vitariflorum? Can you do a video comparing/contrasting the two of them. It would help me choose which one I would get. I’m wanting one of the two but can’t decide. The video would help me decide.
I've been doing a Diy spray for like 7 years and I've never had it bother my new leaves? I do over 3/4 of the way full almost full of water then a couple tablespoons of soap 15 to 20 drops of essential oil (every few months I switch up the essential oils I use so the bug Don't get used to it) a dropper full of yuca extract.. you get it on Amazon for like 10 bucks and it lost super long it makes all of the spray spread all over the plant and stay on. a couple tablespoons of alcohol and that's it it works really well I'm even using it for flat mites and just doing it a lot more often for flat mites but I've sprayed it on new leaves or emerging leaves so many times and never had that happen except sometimes with a hoya leaf if it's just at that right time but not usually even when they're little tiny I am fine I do the stems I'm wondering if maybe you're soap is too hard I use Dr bronner's as my soap. It's very similar to the liquiddirt recipe I do sometimes do the peroxide but lately I've just been using the alcohol. What's interesting as I've been doing this for years and I've actually never had mealy bugs and I'm guessing it's because I spray all my incoming stuff and it always has alcohol in it I mean I really doubt it every day for the first 3 days then I wait a week and I do it again in a week and a day after that I quarantine all my new stuff spraying it often before it ever happens and I really do not get pests from doing this and then I do my whole collection in the change of seasons. The only thing I've dealt with is not taking flat mites serious enough for one thing I couldn't see him didn't know I had him and I think there was a few places I ordered from that came to me with flat mites I definitely know the damage and take it seriously as far as I did spray incoming but there's some things I do different now that I didn't do with my hoyas. I don't know if you're still watering your plants in the sink if you are the best way to kick all of your pest issues and get rid of them for good is to spray every week with a DIY spray until you get it under control. It's worth it to put the extra effort in for like a few months to never really have an issue again if you always really treat the incoming stuff. I guess I'm pretty type a about pests but it stresses me out so bad. If you have a really hardcore like 2 months to get on top of it spraying every week, It's so worth it sometimes I just lay a towel down or a propagation box you know like a plastic bin and just like spray one plan at a time and put it back on the shelf doing it in the evening so no light hits it with those oils in there. I really believe the essential oils are the key along with the soap holds it on they're along with the yuca extract.
Wow that's a lot of great info, thanks for sharing! I'll definitely keep all this in mind. 😊 I don't stress about pests anymore, but I could always stand to be more vigilant haha.

I've been doing a Diy spray for like 7 years and I've never had it bother my new leaves? I do over 3/4 of the way full almost full of water then a couple tablespoons of soap 15 to 20 drops of essential oil (every few months I switch up the essential oils I use so the bug Don't get used to it) a dropper full of yuca extract.. you get it on Amazon for like 10 bucks and it lost super long it makes all of the spray spread all over the plant and stay on. a couple tablespoons of alcohol and that's it it works really well I'm even using it for flat mites and just doing it a lot more often for flat mites but I've sprayed it on new leaves or emerging leaves so many times and never had that happen except sometimes with a hoya leaf if it's just at that right time but not usually even when they're little tiny I am fine I do the stems I'm wondering if maybe you're soap is too hard I use Dr bronner's as my soap. It's very similar to the liquiddirt recipe I do sometimes do the peroxide but lately I've just been using the alcohol. What's interesting as I've been doing this for years and I've actually never had mealy bugs and I'm guessing it's because I spray all my incoming stuff and it always has alcohol in it I mean I really doubt it every day for the first 3 days then I wait a week and I do it again in a week and a day after that I quarantine all my new stuff spraying it often before it ever happens and I really do not get pests from doing this and then I do my whole collection in the change of seasons. The only thing I've dealt with is not taking flat mites serious enough for one thing I couldn't see him didn't know I had him and I think there was a few places I ordered from that came to me with flat mites I definitely know the damage and take it seriously as far as I did spray incoming but there's some things I do different now that I didn't do with my hoyas. I don't know if you're still watering your plants in the sink if you are the best way to kick all of your pest issues and get rid of them for good is to spray every week with a DIY spray until you get it under control. It's worth it to put the extra effort in for like a few months to never really have an issue again if you always really treat the incoming stuff. I guess I'm pretty type a about pests but it stresses me out so bad. If you have a really hardcore like 2 months to get on top of it spraying every week, It's so worth it sometimes I just lay a towel down or a propagation box you know like a plastic bin and just like spray one plan at a time and put it back on the shelf doing it in the evening so no light hits it with those oils in there. I really believe the essential oils are the key along with the soap holds it on they're along with the yuca extract.
Wow that's a lot of great info, thanks for sharing! I'll definitely keep all this in mind. 😊 I don't stress about pests anymore, but I could always stand to be more vigilant haha.
I’m also battling the aphid issue! So flippin’ annoying!!!

Just hold on til the blooms are spent on the jewel orchids.
I’m craving Hoya blooms. But I need to be patient.
Your viterafolium is really pretty. One of the only anthuriums I might consider getting. The other is the pallidiflorum. Do you have one of those.
“I’m tired grandpa” 😂😂
😂😂 these plants be testing me
@ Hahahaha I TOTALLY understand. I am side-eyeing some of mine. 😅
@ 💜
Yay so exited
Does it snow where you live now? I seem to recall there being snow at your old places! Just wondering about climate! I live in Utah and it seems pretty similar in the winter besides the humidity lol!😂
It snows sometimes! No snow yet this year. Usually just rain. Sometimes we will get a big snowfall, but it usually melts pretty quickly.
@ Good to know! It’s been oddly rainy here this winter, so it’s probably more similar than usual!!💚
Mealies, that’ll do it!
Not the Holes reference 😂
😂😂
