I was putting up my greenhouse. So all my hoyas and orchids will go out into it in spring. Cleaning, youtube and taking care of my house plants ariods, hoyas, orchids.
As an autistic person who listens with headphones your heater has never bothered me. I can hear it but I just hope you're cozy and warm. It's not a nuisance like screeching children like my house 😂💖 I think the soft sound of it in the background adds to the vibe of just friends hanging out repotting plants. Love your videos fern. Glad you're doing better 😇
Ah thank you, that is great to hear. It is much nicer filming with it on because it's so cold in here otherwise, but then the noise stresses me out lol. Glad it's not a bother & thanks for your kind words 💚
@@wildfern I'm also autistic and have misophonia but the heater did not bother me at all. But thank you, oh thank you for not eating your cereal on camera... (although it looked great :) I have to mute videos where people eat and cc is never really good on plant videos. I manage of course and everyone is free to film whatever they like, but I just prefer creators who don't eat in their videos.
Oh Fern! I may be old enough to be your mom but you are such an inspiration for me.. I thought when I was diagnosed with cancer I would fight with my everything to live.. I am so proud to say its been 18 years but the past few years have "blessed" me with Lupus and this covid thing has caused my anxiety and mental health to suffer huge.. I will take all you have said- moving my body, exercise - I already eat well- and work on my mental/physical well being.. Tomorrow is my granddaughters 1st birthday so I am excited.. Always sending you and Olive love and prayers. ❤✌
I love repots with you! I'm so thrilled to hear your anxiety has taken a back seat and you're doing healthy things for your body & mind. Exercise is so good for us, even just little walks if that's all a person can do :) Enjoy this life🧡
Before starting this video I was trying to watch mental health education videos but it was weighing on me a bit too much, I needed to destress rather than focus on self reflection at the moment. However I really really love this integration of mental health talks and planty content. It makes the conversation a lot more approachable and relaxed. It is truly helping me self reflect with a positive attitude. I am so happy that your mental health has been improving and for a long time now you have been inspiring me to do the same for myself. Sending so much love to you fern 😌❤️🔥
(Recently learned this from Yoga and Plants with Roos' channel lol) Where Anoectochilus (another jewel orchid genus) are endemic to, some of the indigenous people call them "fairy clothes." The story goes that fairies can't stay out past sunset, so when they rush home through the brush, their clothes get caught, and fall off. Where those clothes fall, the orchids grow. It's the CUTEST thing in the world, if you ask me.
I've been taking Spanish classes for 5, years and I'm legally bilingual now!! Learning a language is so fun and powerful, I love this sponsor and would totally recommend that everyone learn a language
This is so cool!! I would absolutely love to be fluent in a second language some day. What a great accomplishment, you should be proud :) I'm going to do my daily Babbel lesson right now haha!
I've never commented, but I've been watching your videos for about 2 years and you're one of my biggest inspirations, I aspire to be like you!! Have a great day, thank you for making my day =D
I'm so happy to hear you're doing better! 🙏 It's really crazy how much the mind and body are connected. 💪 I've been doing better as well! For me I have to make sure I maintain a stretching routine and am waking up early so I can give my mind the time to wake up and rise with the day. I've actually moved my stretching to the evening so that my mornings can be spent by making toast, having coffee, and watering plants. It's such a balancing act taking care of ourselves and especially those of us that have a sizeable collection. I learned a while ago that our plant's health are a direct reflection of how well we are taking care of ourselves. Whenever we get off track our plants will certainly let us know! Perhaps another way that plants are here to help us through it all. I freaking love PLANTS! 😊 Haha. Anyway, really glad to hear you're killing it! Keep up the good work. ✌️
Thanks for sharing what you are doing to keep the panic attacks away. I am struggling with them. I have a panic attack at least once a day. Some are worse than others. Yesterday I have a bad one at my doctors office. All of the plants are so cute. Love to see updates when the Hoyas grow out
So very glad to hear that you are feeling well after your rough patch. You have such a sweet inquisitive soul, and I am sure that you will become more and more adept at navigating through times that test you. I love your channel. It's like a cozy comfortable haven.
Thank you SO much! I absolutely adored this video! I was so excited to see your Hoya sunrise. I have a small cutting that I am propagating at the moment and I had no idea that they grow to be such beautiful plants! You have such a wonderful, sincere manner that I really appreciate.
I love Ludisia discolor! The velvet leaves are so beautiful. I have mine for over 2 years, it was smaller than yours and now is sooooo big! One tip: they love moist roots but hate most on their leaves. And it looks like a bloom is coming. It usually blooms when the weather is a bit cooler.
So, I just started watching your channel and I really enjoy your energy and the information you bring. I just wanted to say that I too suffered from anxiety and panic attacks until I finally got my medication straightened out. You are doing great. I started caring for plants during my dad's illness and they have given me peace.
Your changes sound just the ticket for your health. Love all your chatting about your plants. I am amazed just how many you have inside your place. I have most of my plants out in the garden. Keep it up and stay warm and safe. Francke from Brisbane Oz.
Thanks to you fern , you don’t know but you are given to much therapy with your videos experience with your anxiety and more. We really appreciate what you do thank you 🌺🌺🌺🌺🍀🍀🍀we love you so nuch
Fern, I love when you speak about your mental health, what does and doesn’t work for you. As someone who is actively looking to learn how to help myself understand what I’m feeling and why I’m feeling it, it really helps to hear someone else’s experiences. The more we talk about it, the more we will learn. Officially one week off of my anxiety meds (that I’ve been on for 7 years) and feeling great!
As another commenter said it's such a comfort to hear other people talk about their struggles and how they overcome them and how they are maintaining their mental health, thank you for normalizing self care! Also can't wait to see how your Jungle Boogie does on its new pole, and your jewel orchids are so stinkin cute!
Great chatty potting video! I’m still new to jewel orchids but I’ve found humidity and keeping them moist are more important than lighting. Also don’t fertilize. I accidentally did and leaves were large and lush but plant became leggy. This inspires me to chop and prop in water! Thanks as always! 💚 🪴
For anything 'orchid' my go to is Miss Orchid Girl's channel. She explains things so well. I've been hanging out with your videos today while I did my own plant chores. I really enjoy your company.
I've found that when my mental health is at a decline I do one of two things. I either adopt a bunch of new plants and spend all my free time trying to grow them perfect... OR, I watch all my plants slowly die one by one and feel worse and worse about myself the whole time. I'm glad we are both taking steps to learn how to take care of ourselves. We would take time to make sure our plants are thriving, we should do the same with our souls.
Ugh I hate the feeling of watching your plants slowly die everyday while you’re in a depressive phase. But in a way, they’re reminders that you need to change some day-to-day things that are not benefitting our mental health. @wildfern you are so good at listening to what your body needs and being a diligent, mindful planner and it’s very inspiring!
@@SplashOfGreen your immediate surroundings can be a good indication of how your mental health is going. When I know I haven't been watering my plants, I know I've been watering myself even less. It's honestly tragic to know just how many plants didn't make it through my last spell. But some of them did! And so did I.
@@ssuuzziiee luckily I’m usually mentally alright in the summer so I can keep up with it all, then when winter comes around usually so does the depression but the plant care really slows down too so it works out lol
I just found you today! 😂 I really enjoyed this video, hope to see more. I know what you are going through with having panic attacks, when I was 30 years old I started having them, stopped when I was 36, met my boyfriend then, it’s 21 years later…. I never had one since I met him 21 years ago, I am now 57 years old! Hope to watch lots more plant videos with you! Much love from Nova Scotia🇨🇦
For the jewel orchid it dislikes to dry out, just keep it evenly moist, it doesnt need all that high humidity so it skould be fine outside the cabinets :) and YES, thats a flowerbud :) and after the flower is done it will make side shoots as the mother stem wont grow anymore as the growthpoint became occupied bu the flowerspike. It's one of few orchids (together with the vanilla) that you can take cuttings from. If the leaves start to look pale it's an indication that it gets too much sun..... And super good work with your health, take care of yourself first and do what makes you feel good.
I put my jewel orchid in a wider pot because they like to spread out. The first layer is moss then under that is my regular potting mix. They push out new growth from all parts of the stem and root, so that's why I keep them on moss first then over some dirt.
I am so glad you are feeling better!!! Take care of you!! If you don't no one else will!!!! Have a great weekend!! Love all your videos!!! Your channels are my favorite always love to see you and what you have been up to!! Give Miss Olive some Love from me!!! Praying she and you keep doing great!!
I wasn’t into Christmas until I realized I can make it how I want! So now I have a spooky witchy pagan Christmas! Aka how Christmas was intended to be celebrated before Christian’s came along! So now I look forward to it every year! I mean not as much as Halloween tho! But it’s fun! Example: instead of secret Santa do ‘secret satan’ were you pull a 7 sins prompt along with a name! And there’s lots of spooky Christmas movies like Edward scissors hands, nightmare before Christmas, all the ‘krampus’s’ or the lodge!
So glad to hear you are doing better. As a chronic anxiety sufferer I know panic attacks are brutal. The scary part for me is they seem to come on for no reason. Strange. Take care. I’m in Florida and would have loved to see a shot of your snow coming down ❤️
Yes, they come out of the blue and that’s part of what makes them so stressful. Thank you for watching 💚 snow has melted, but I will get a shot next time :) I think we are supposed to get a decent amount this winter ❄️
I’m so glad your mental health is better I think talking about it helps. Trying to hide things when you put yourself out there, like you do makes it hard to carry on you can’t be yourself if you’re hiding yourself away.
Glad your feeling better Fern! This time of year is hard for me but hearing and seeing you persevere gives me strength to get through my hard times. Hoyas get me through too, so maybe it’s an excuse for me to get some buy Hoyas! 😂
I’m feeling a loss because my aunt moved into a small co do from her large house a year after her husband died. She always had thanks giving and the same people came and we saw them every year. Now she’s probably only having her kids and that fills her place. And my sister will do thanksgiving with her daughter. So I’m left with out all my family, my dad and step mom always came out from North Carolina and since my dad died a year ago, and his sister my aunt isn’t having anyone but her immediate family. I’m just dying to deal with SAD, and feeling my losses. I’m counting my days down till the first day of winter cause I know that the days get longer every day instead of like now, still getting shorter every day.
First of all I’m just loving your hair recently its always been beautiful but it’s like glowing recently idk haha and two your relaxing videos like this always help me get up and go take care of my plants so thank you so much ❤
Awesome video! I love repotting videos. I personally have a jewel orchid and have found them really easy to care for. Mine doesn't receive a ton of light and is still doing good. It is also in room humidity and hasn't had any problems, so I find them to need less "tropical" care like other orchids do.
Hello Fern. You are naturally funny, I love your personality. That point on your jewell orchid is possibly a flower spike, great job if it is. Enjoyable video. Thank you for being YOU.
I agree thata she's so tidy potting up. I get soil mix everywhere when I repot. Lol. PS those are blooms coming in on your ludisia discolor. I can never keep mine outside a terrarium. 😍 Glad to know that you're doing better. Thanks for the upload, Fern. ❤️
I’m doing good right now, recently went on a plant ban because I was starting to buy too many plants🥴 I realized that now I have a few plants I’m not ~that~ thrilled about. I like them they’re fine, but they don’t spark the joy like some of my other plants so I decided it’s time to chill for now😅 let’s see if I can make it til the end of the year! Hope everyone else is doing well🥰❤️🔥
Great chatty repot! Love the little Hoya triplets🥰. I never thought about putting my Jungle Boogie on a moss pole, he is growing in such a perfect rosette fashion. I will have to really take a better look, don't know if there is an area where I can get him close to a pole without disturbing a beautiful leaf. I have never seen one on a pole. Love the Manjula as well 😍. Love them all!! 😁. Hanging Christmas lights would be great on your hooks( smart just leaving them there😘). Lights with a string of whatever you like for the season. Or you could put tinyscarves or tiny hats on your ghosts and ghostie pillow🥰. My Mom loves snowmen. She has 12 months of monthly themed snowmen that she changes out on a shelf,every month. So cute. Multicolored lights would make it more Christmasy or if you opted for white, they could be up all winter 😁😍. So many fun options 🤩. Love this video. Thank youuu. So happy that you are caught up and back into your routine,it lessens stress. Glad that you are feeling better as well. In your vlog you mentioned that you were busy with Olive issues and never got back to the subject. Is she continuing to do well? When will we learn who "we" is for you? As long as you are happy 🥰😍🤩😘💓
Funny, I just watched the older video where you said you didn't like the Manjula and now I see you potting one up. That was the only plant on your plants you dislike list that I didn't agree with, I love my manjula! I have her growing up a pole and can't wait for the leaves to size up. Glad to see you eventually got one. Love your videos!
I still keep mine in my cabinet because I can tuck them under taller plants (I assume they don’t need a ton of light). I had one from Devans that had 11 blooms going at once! I also have that same green one you potted up and it’s got a handful of flowers right now.
I'm glad we are still getting another spooky repot! And you should celebrate Krampusnacht on the eve of December 5th! DEFINITELY decorate your Painted Lady!!!!!
First of all I am so pleased that you are feeling a lot better and doing well with your routines. So good to see you upbeat about things! Saw that you had posted a new chatty repot, so got my hot beverage and settled down to watch. That Wilbur graves Hoya is gorgeous! I actually got my first Hoya just over two hours ago and I can already see that it won’t be alone for long. It’s a krohniana Eskimo. I’m obsessed with the leaves! Love trailing plants and silver leaves so it was a no brainier. It was quite a ‘full’ pot too. Really pleased with it. I like the look of the Philodendron Narrow too. Will be interesting to see how it grows on the moss pole. Thanks so much for sharing 💚 and I’m looking forward to another, though belated, spooky repot👻🧟♂️
I'm in my late 30s now and medicated/ in therapy, but omg-- panic attacks in my twenties were unreal. I had to lay down and shut my eyes to ride in a car. I was not functioning. I didn't know it was panic attacks! It was so bad, and I had no healthy resources or stability. Now, i only get "panic-y symptoms" as i call it (and my psychiatrist lectures me that these are panic attacks, but I've felt the panic, and I like to make the distinction for my records. 😆) Ugh. You're doing it right! You've obviously got this. Your brain will just betray you sometimes. Also, etsy for crocheted garlands can be really cute and non traditional. A crocheted string of lights around a larger plant... that kinda thing.
I could barely hear the video…………It’s pouring here! 😂😂 No it wasn’t your heater! 😜 Loved your Manjula pothos,so healthy looking! Great video fern! Warm hugs Natalie Australia 🇦🇺
I've had a Macodes Petola Jewel Orchid for about 2 years now and all it did was was die and get slugs until I repotted it about a month ago into half coco coir, half perlite with a little layer of moss just sitting on top to keep the humidity up and now it's sprouting a new leaf! I'm so excited because I thought for sure my plant was a goner. In case your Orchid takes a bad turn and you can't figure out why, I recommend trying a mixture like that before anything else so you don't get down to only 1 stem like me 😭
I love ❤️ your videos. Reporting video is was so relaxing. Happy to hear you doing well. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Take care and God bless you ❤️ ♥️ 💖 💕 👍👍🤲🙏
I heard so many people mention about mental health and anxiety and depression these days. This definitely wasn’t a thing when i was growing up or that severe. I understand that we all cannot be happy all day and everyday. I think that is just normal that is what makes us humans. I definitely have days where i just don’t want to do anything or shut myself out or have a good cry at night to relieve stress and unhappiness or stay in bed. Which does helps or take a nice bath with candles and relax with some wine when had a stressful tiring day.
I definitely agree with you,but have to add that life was simpler 30+ years back! Or it wasn’t spoken about! The safe and peaceful environment is no longer there! I’m struggling myself and until I did,now I understand how other ppl struggle and have more empathy for them! (:
Hi Fern! I love your videos like this. It is so nice to see you doing so well! Your plants look amazing! Just curious if you have looked into the "flat mites" on hoya issues that people are talking about, or does anyone else have any opinions? Thanks for all your advice, and entertaining videos♡
Wonderful video, per usual 😊 Your jewel orchids are so pretty! I’ve been eyeing a jewel orchid (Anoectochilus chapaensis) but I don’t have experience with them, so I’m nervous to buy it. Also, I totally agree with running being a big mental health help! I started running when I was 12, and it’s been very important for my mental health the whole time (I’m 24 now). Trail running in particular has gotten me through my worst times, and literally saved me. It’s always nice to see someone else enjoying running as well 😌
I have my jewel orchid in an open terrarium and it is fine so far. I just keep the roots in humidity with sphagnum moss. It seems to like the soil being kept damp
To know we’re not alone in how we feel when we feel “crazy” because I know for me I’m like “why do I have to feel like this, is there something wrong with me” it’s debilitating. I’m in a funk, and I’m trying so so hard to get out of it. I keep using I have a infant as an excuse for being tired (she’s one so not an ifant lol - see I’m doing it again) also have 2 big kiddos 12&7 but I really need to eat better , drink water , takes bathes - tend to myself! I will feel so much better I know I will!
Try start meditating 10 to 15 minutes, it was really hard for me too, but if you just stay 10 min with your eyes closed, relaxing your body makes a huuge difference. (And you don't feel the rush of "I should have be doing this or that bc is just 10 min of your day) I'm glad you are feeling better ❤❤❤
I was lso thinking lately to start running! I have never tried to do it as an exercise regime. I have this problem that is called Achilles tendon which makes it a bit difficult but never say never. Your plants turned out great. I love the hoya wilbur graves. Such a beautiful colour! 💚💙
If you haven’t tried to extend your thiccley poles you should try one before you chop the plant. At least try and if it doesn’t work then you can prop it then.
Really great repot session, thanks for sharing! I'm glad you're doing very well with your mental health 😊! I love that manjula pathos and the hoyas. How much light do you give your manjula?

@@ssuuzziiee so glad to hear 🤗. And honestly I’m ALWAYS surprised how most of these guys can hang on for me, they’re damn resilient, and so are we! 💚
@@ssuuzziiee luckily I’m usually mentally alright in the summer so I can keep up with it all, then when winter comes around usually so does the depression but the plant care really slows down too so it works out lol
I just found you today! 😂 I really enjoyed this video, hope to see more. I know what you are going through with having panic attacks, when I was 30 years old I started having them, stopped when I was 36, met my boyfriend then, it’s 21 years later…. I never had one since I met him 21 years ago, I am now 57 years old! Hope to watch lots more plant videos with you! Much love from Nova Scotia🇨🇦
When plant people get a plant they thought they'll never have, I imagine it's the same feeling when some people get when they buy a designer bag 😄
Yes! Exactly hahah. Better than a bag in my opinion 🥹
@@wildfern definitely!
For the jewel orchid it dislikes to dry out, just keep it evenly moist, it doesnt need all that high humidity so it skould be fine outside the cabinets :) and YES, thats a flowerbud :) and after the flower is done it will make side shoots as the mother stem wont grow anymore as the growthpoint became occupied bu the flowerspike. It's one of few orchids (together with the vanilla) that you can take cuttings from. If the leaves start to look pale it's an indication that it gets too much sun..... And super good work with your health, take care of yourself first and do what makes you feel good.
My mom just gave me a little pot of jewel orchids and it’s one of my favorite plants!❤️
I put my jewel orchid in a wider pot because they like to spread out. The first layer is moss then under that is my regular potting mix. They push out new growth from all parts of the stem and root, so that's why I keep them on moss first then over some dirt.
I don't submerge the roots into the dirt. They eventually find their way down from the moss
I am so glad you are feeling better!!! Take care of you!! If you don't no one else will!!!! Have a great weekend!! Love all your videos!!! Your channels are my favorite always love to see you and what you have been up to!! Give Miss Olive some Love from me!!! Praying she and you keep doing great!!
Thank you Fern! Always enjoy a chatty repotting video. Hope you're having a nice day. Give Olive a little hug from me. She's so darn cute 🧡
Thank you so much, I sure will 🐶
another relaxing video. I think potting the orchids together helps them show-off their beauty. Happy Friday
I appreciate you so much! I’m glad to hear that you’re doing well! Thank you for the update ! The Hoyas so cute!!
I wasn’t into Christmas until I realized I can make it how I want! So now I have a spooky witchy pagan Christmas! Aka how Christmas was intended to be celebrated before Christian’s came along! So now I look forward to it every year! I mean not as much as Halloween tho! But it’s fun! Example: instead of secret Santa do ‘secret satan’ were you pull a 7 sins prompt along with a name! And there’s lots of spooky Christmas movies like Edward scissors hands, nightmare before Christmas, all the ‘krampus’s’ or the lodge!
So glad to hear you are doing better. As a chronic anxiety sufferer I know panic attacks are brutal. The scary part for me is they seem to come on for no reason. Strange. Take care. I’m in Florida and would have loved to see a shot of your snow coming down ❤️
Yes, they come out of the blue and that’s part of what makes them so stressful. Thank you for watching 💚 snow has melted, but I will get a shot next time :) I think we are supposed to get a decent amount this winter ❄️
I’m so glad your mental health is better I think talking about it helps. Trying to hide things when you put yourself out there, like you do makes it hard to carry on you can’t be yourself if you’re hiding yourself away.
Glad your feeling better Fern! This time of year is hard for me but hearing and seeing you persevere gives me strength to get through my hard times. Hoyas get me through too, so maybe it’s an excuse for me to get some buy Hoyas! 😂
lol the making of the moss pole, it looks like ur rolling the biggest joint
I’m feeling a loss because my aunt moved into a small co do from her large house a year after her husband died. She always had thanks giving and the same people came and we saw them every year. Now she’s probably only having her kids and that fills her place. And my sister will do thanksgiving with her daughter. So I’m left with out all my family, my dad and step mom always came out from North Carolina and since my dad died a year ago, and his sister my aunt isn’t having anyone but her immediate family. I’m just dying to deal with SAD, and feeling my losses. I’m counting my days down till the first day of winter cause I know that the days get longer every day instead of like now, still getting shorter every day.
First of all I’m just loving your hair recently its always been beautiful but it’s like glowing recently idk haha and two your relaxing videos like this always help me get up and go take care of my plants so thank you so much ❤
Awesome video! I love repotting videos. I personally have a jewel orchid and have found them really easy to care for. Mine doesn't receive a ton of light and is still doing good. It is also in room humidity and hasn't had any problems, so I find them to need less "tropical" care like other orchids do.
That is awesome!! I always thought they would be hard to care for, but I am pleasantly surprised so far :) Thanks for the info! x
The growth on your orchid is an inflorescence i think! my ludisia flowers all the time - even when propagating in water! :)
Ahhh I'm SO excited to see it! I love flowers!
If you wanna get crafty you could do a Christmas light garland with like paper Raphidiphora leaves, it looks really cute in my mind lol 🎄
Omg fern you are so close to get to 100k subscribers, more people needs to find you, you are so refreshing and so YOU❤
Eeeeppp thank you 🥺 can’t believe how close we are!
Hello Fern. You are naturally funny, I love your personality. That point on your jewell orchid is possibly a flower spike, great job if it is. Enjoyable video. Thank you for being YOU.
I agree thata she's so tidy potting up. I get soil mix everywhere when I repot. Lol.
PS those are blooms coming in on your ludisia discolor. I can never keep mine outside a terrarium. 😍 Glad to know that you're doing better. Thanks for the upload, Fern. ❤️
Eeeeeeppppp so excited!! Thanks so much for watching 💚
Your heater is just some satisfying white noise haha
I'm so looking forward for your next " Hoya collection" vidéo with all of the fine varieties you got lately.
Greetings from France ☺️
I’m doing good right now, recently went on a plant ban because I was starting to buy too many plants🥴 I realized that now I have a few plants I’m not ~that~ thrilled about. I like them they’re fine, but they don’t spark the joy like some of my other plants so I decided it’s time to chill for now😅 let’s see if I can make it til the end of the year! Hope everyone else is doing well🥰❤️🔥
All doing so well👍
Continue doing what you are doing,
💚🌵🌱☘️
Great chatty repot! Love the little Hoya triplets🥰. I never thought about putting my Jungle Boogie on a moss pole, he is growing in such a perfect rosette fashion. I will have to really take a better look, don't know if there is an area where I can get him close to a pole without disturbing a beautiful leaf. I have never seen one on a pole. Love the Manjula as well 😍. Love them all!! 😁. Hanging Christmas lights would be great on your hooks( smart just leaving them there😘). Lights with a string of whatever you like for the season. Or you could put tinyscarves or tiny hats on your ghosts and ghostie pillow🥰. My Mom loves snowmen. She has 12 months of monthly themed snowmen that she changes out on a shelf,every month. So cute. Multicolored lights would make it more Christmasy or if you opted for white, they could be up all winter 😁😍. So many fun options 🤩. Love this video. Thank youuu. So happy that you are caught up and back into your routine,it lessens stress. Glad that you are feeling better as well. In your vlog you mentioned that you were busy with Olive issues and never got back to the subject. Is she continuing to do well? When will we learn who "we" is for you? As long as you are happy 🥰😍🤩😘💓
Funny, I just watched the older video where you said you didn't like the Manjula and now I see you potting one up. That was the only plant on your plants you dislike list that I didn't agree with, I love my manjula! I have her growing up a pole and can't wait for the leaves to size up. Glad to see you eventually got one. Love your videos!
I know right hahah - lots of plants I used to dislike are ones I now love, like the Philo brandtianum 😆 glad I gave them a chance!
I still keep mine in my cabinet because I can tuck them under taller plants (I assume they don’t need a ton of light). I had one from Devans that had 11 blooms going at once! I also have that same green one you potted up and it’s got a handful of flowers right now.
I'm glad we are still getting another spooky repot! And you should celebrate Krampusnacht on the eve of December 5th! DEFINITELY decorate your Painted Lady!!!!!
Yessss - it's coming soon lol! And I think I will! She'd be so cute with some lights :)
@@wildfern I submitted a story! I hope you read it! 👻
With jewel orchids they develope their growths under the soil then the growth pokes out of the pot
First of all I am so pleased that you are feeling a lot better and doing well with your routines. So good to see you upbeat about things! Saw that you had posted a new chatty repot, so got my hot beverage and settled down to watch. That Wilbur graves Hoya is gorgeous! I actually got my first Hoya just over two hours ago and I can already see that it won’t be alone for long. It’s a krohniana Eskimo. I’m obsessed with the leaves! Love trailing plants and silver leaves so it was a no brainier. It was quite a ‘full’ pot too. Really pleased with it. I like the look of the Philodendron Narrow too. Will be interesting to see how it grows on the moss pole. Thanks so much for sharing 💚 and I’m looking forward to another, though belated, spooky repot👻🧟♂️
Your jewel orchid is indeed about to bloom 😊 afterwards ist will branch out creating more shoots
Ahh I’m so excited! Just checked on it. Can’t wait until it opens up.
exactly the vibes i needed after a long work day 😭❤️
Hii! For the air gaps you can tap the pot on the table a few times it usually does the trick:)
Love this video, thanks for opening up! 🥰
I didn’t even notice the heater noise until you mentioned it but it still didn’t bother me. 😊
That's so wild that it's snowing for you already! I live in South Carolina and still have some of my plants outside.
I'm in my late 30s now and medicated/ in therapy, but omg-- panic attacks in my twenties were unreal. I had to lay down and shut my eyes to ride in a car. I was not functioning. I didn't know it was panic attacks! It was so bad, and I had no healthy resources or stability. Now, i only get "panic-y symptoms" as i call it (and my psychiatrist lectures me that these are panic attacks, but I've felt the panic, and I like to make the distinction for my records. 😆) Ugh. You're doing it right! You've obviously got this. Your brain will just betray you sometimes.
Also, etsy for crocheted garlands can be really cute and non traditional. A crocheted string of lights around a larger plant... that kinda thing.
I could barely hear the video…………It’s pouring here! 😂😂 No it wasn’t your heater! 😜
Loved your Manjula pothos,so healthy looking! Great video fern! Warm hugs Natalie Australia 🇦🇺
I've had a Macodes Petola Jewel Orchid for about 2 years now and all it did was was die and get slugs until I repotted it about a month ago into half coco coir, half perlite with a little layer of moss just sitting on top to keep the humidity up and now it's sprouting a new leaf! I'm so excited because I thought for sure my plant was a goner. In case your Orchid takes a bad turn and you can't figure out why, I recommend trying a mixture like that before anything else so you don't get down to only 1 stem like me 😭
You could make your Forest vertical garden a Christmas “tree”! 😊
I would love at the end of the repot if you show each one when it’s repotted 🙂 also obsessed with the manjula
I love ❤️ your videos. Reporting video is was so relaxing. Happy to hear you doing well. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Take care and God bless you ❤️ ♥️ 💖 💕 👍👍🤲🙏
Thank you so much for watching :)
I heard so many people mention about mental health and anxiety and depression these days. This definitely wasn’t a thing when i was growing up or that severe. I understand that we all cannot be happy all day and everyday. I think that is just normal that is what makes us humans. I definitely have days where i just don’t want to do anything or shut myself out or have a good cry at night to relieve stress and unhappiness or stay in bed. Which does helps or take a nice bath with candles and relax with some wine when had a stressful tiring day.
I definitely agree with you,but have to add that life was simpler 30+ years back! Or it wasn’t spoken about!
The safe and peaceful environment is no longer there! I’m struggling myself and until I did,now I understand how other ppl struggle and have more empathy for them! (:
Hi Fern! I love your videos like this. It is so nice to see you doing so well! Your plants look amazing!
Just curious if you have looked into the "flat mites" on hoya issues that people are talking about, or does anyone else have any opinions? Thanks for all your advice, and entertaining videos♡
Wonderful video, per usual 😊 Your jewel orchids are so pretty! I’ve been eyeing a jewel orchid (Anoectochilus chapaensis) but I don’t have experience with them, so I’m nervous to buy it.
Also, I totally agree with running being a big mental health help! I started running when I was 12, and it’s been very important for my mental health the whole time (I’m 24 now). Trail running in particular has gotten me through my worst times, and literally saved me. It’s always nice to see someone else enjoying running as well 😌
I have my jewel orchid in an open terrarium and it is fine so far. I just keep the roots in humidity with sphagnum moss. It seems to like the soil being kept damp
Awesome, thanks for the info!
To know we’re not alone in how we feel when we feel “crazy” because I know for me I’m like “why do I have to feel like this, is there something wrong with me” it’s debilitating. I’m in a funk, and I’m trying so so hard to get out of it. I keep using I have a infant as an excuse for being tired (she’s one so not an ifant lol - see I’m doing it again) also have 2 big kiddos 12&7 but I really need to eat better , drink water , takes bathes - tend to myself! I will feel so much better I know I will!
Try start meditating 10 to 15 minutes, it was really hard for me too, but if you just stay 10 min with your eyes closed, relaxing your body makes a huuge difference. (And you don't feel the rush of "I should have be doing this or that bc is just 10 min of your day) I'm glad you are feeling better ❤❤❤
I’m also reading “all good things here”!
I was lso thinking lately to start running! I have never tried to do it as an exercise regime. I have this problem that is called Achilles tendon which makes it a bit difficult but never say never. Your plants turned out great. I love the hoya wilbur graves. Such a beautiful colour! 💚💙
Thank you so much, can’t wait to see the Wilbur graves grow 🫶
Yay! Love starting off my days with planty videos 🪴😍
Hope you have a fantastic day Dakota 🌿
Awesome video as always. Thank you! Love the moss pole; where did you get it?
Hey! The pole I used is this one: amzn.to/3EoUu4n (that's a 5 pack) You can also find them here: www.thiccly.com
Yay! A new hanging out video, i love your calming voice, its close to my bed time here, your videos always calm me down
Hope you have a lovely sleep ✨🌝
@@wildfern I had a great sleep, thank you :)
Portuguese! My bf is from Brazil so I'd love to be able to speak Portuguese so I can communicate better with his family.
If you haven’t tried to extend your thiccley poles you should try one before you chop the plant. At least try and if it doesn’t work then you can prop it then.
So happy that you are better! 🥰
Look at you whipping out that Spanish! Love it ... Vamos a la tienda de plantas!
Omg yassss haha! 👏🪴
Really great repot session, thanks for sharing! I'm glad you're doing very well with your mental health 😊! I love that manjula pathos and the hoyas. How much light do you give your manjula?
wait youre a la dispute fan?! I saw them in Portland not that long ago for the third time they truly are always great!
I love your videos! Thanks for posting. Ps I need that fleece jacket (sweatshirt?) You're wearing at the end. Where did you get it?
Just watching a couple of your videos and am wondering what you use for your anthuriums. Looks like perlite and orchid mix but not sure.
Hey Fern! Are you liking the diy orchid mist? Love your content 💚
you could put some small ornaments on plants :)
I just saw how close you are to 100K!!! How exciting :)
Fern!!! How do you get your hoya to root so well in water??!! and how long does it usually take to get the length of roots yours had???
Are you using the same soil for each of the plants that you are repotting?
