    This will be my first official Houseplant Spring, because I fell down the rabbit hole last summer in July when I moved house. So. I am literally SO EXCITED for this spring prep series!! I have already learned so much from you Fern, and I love your content so much, please please make this a whole mini series of 3-5 vids!! That truly sounds amazing to me. Hopefully everyone else (and you!) agrees, so we can sway you into extending this haha. Thank you for being you!🌿🌱💚

    Thank you Fern! I have so many dumb plant chores to do, I’ve kept your videos on all last night and today while I chopped two poles and replanted so many plants. I would’ve been so bored if I didn’t have you also doing chores “with” me!
    My living room, kitchen and dining area are now trashed, maybe we need a video of sweeping and vacuuming and putting stuff away!

    Hi Fern! I would love to see more Spring Plant Chore videos if you end up doing a series 😊
    The ROF should root easily. I had to cut mine up last fall and rooted it in water. Thankfully, it went well. The roots just had a tendency to point upwards instead of down so I had to be careful of the water level getting too low.
    Also, I definitely think making moss poles ahead of time will help you out. Future Fern will thank you 😉 It might be too late but you could try finding a plastic storage bin for wrapping paper and use that for your moss poles if you have room to store it in your basement. It would keep them dry, out of the way, and no spiders could get into them.

I have a small flower farm on Vancouver Island and we are just starting to take off with the seed starting season. We have thousands of seeds on the go now and more to start. My houseplants often get neglected during the busyness of the growing season.

    Why not pull the roots outta the pile of the El choco? Wouldn’t it have a better chance?

    Definitely agree, when a plant starts looking leggy, time for a chop and prop. I recently bought a Philodendron - Ring of Fire as a plant rescue. Its very small, but the new leaves emerge a beautiful red, then go green. I love the look of yours and hope mine will get that big.one day. I love the Rousseau wall hanger. What a great way to display plants on a wall. Happy Valentines for you and your boyfriend ❤‍🩹.

    Personally, I really like the burle marx fantasy, but don't hesitate to get rid of a plant that does not thrill you. Then you'll have more time to enjoy the plants that do thrill you.
    My bmf always turns it leaves down, it might be from too much light or not enough humidity. But it could just be something the plant does naturally.

    @hypatiakumbera789 9 місяців тому

    I think for the Burley Marx fantasy, the leaves are pointing that way usually because there's too much light and they're trying to get away from the light. Maybe try using less intense light? My philodendron Burley Marx variegata was doing that and I had to move it further from the grow light and now it's fine.

    Oh the broken leaf is my biggest bane this year. A lot of my plants break at the stem when putting out new leaves, eventually not developing a leaf at all or withering away (or I cut them off myself because there won't be anything left of them). I eventually changed the lights to a less intense lamp to stop their growth, but it doesn't change the fact that the new leaves are often damaged and not very aesthetically pleasing. This winter is a hard time for my plants in general 😩 .

    what happened to your amydrium is similar to what happened to my pqraiso verde. what I did was cut off the leaves (a bunch of them) that was yellowing. not very long after that I started seeing fresh new leaves coming up and there w a lot of them. i think what happened to mine was an infection from over fertilizing it. yours could be different. I used different kinds of fertilizer both liquid and also the worm castings and I think I went a little too happy. after I snipped off a ton of leaves tho it gave me very beautiful new green healthy leaves. it looks so beautiful now.
