ABOUT ME
I’m Fern! A 20-something gal living on beautiful Vancouver Island, Canada with my sweet lil doggo & around 100 houseplants. Plants have changed my life - I love tending to them and sharing the joys and discoveries of my planty journey online. I am passionate about all things living and I have been vegan for over 6 years - it was the best decision I’ve ever made. For those into astrology, I am a gemini sun, scorpio moon, & libra rising. I started out on social media with a focus on makeup/beauty/fashion and am not into it as much, but I do share on those topics from time to time. Thanks for stopping by!

I will never get sick of propagation videos. They are my fave!!! Same with plant care routines

[olliegeorge]

girl I want the tea about pon... everyone raves about it (which to be honest is a good thing) but like there must be downsides? or troubles plant parents are having with the substrate! Please do an update video about it!!

Sending the love as usual ✌🏼

I've always water propagated all my plants that can be propagated. I only just started perlite propping and that really opens up a world of wet stick/node propping! Propping in moss has been great for the plant to root but a nightmare to remove when ready to pot up! Thank you, FERN! You always inspire me!

[daniellefernandez]

Ever since I saw your tortum in the prop box I have been so fascinated with that plant ! I'm also loving the trellis you have placed in it ! I love your styling <3

Keep your alocasia wet. I have never let mine dry out completely, except at the beginning of my first alocasia, I lost every leaf, then they came in tiny, so I have learned, lots of water, never let it dry out. I keep the bottom of the pot/soil wet at all times. And give it a lot of light. Mine is right by my grow lights and I am at 5 leaves and she's pregnant. I had so many issues with alocasia fydek at the beginning!! I was ready to give up. I had it in terra cotta, 5 in pot. And an airy mix. It hated it. It would dry so fast, so now she's in plastic with more peat moss in the soil. And I haven't lost a leaf since. I water every 4-7 days. I have seen so many ppl I'm the two leaf club, it's because it's under watered so it has to kill the older leaf off to have the water/energy to put the new one out. Light, water! Lots of both! Hopefully this helps!! :)

13:45 I know this video is from a year ago, but as someone with reptiles, I use a thermostat for all my heating devices.. you could totally do this for a heat mat and it’ll shut off if it gets too hot!

[TheLouiseWarrior]

Could you do an update of yeah your thoughts on pon but also leca? Maybe what’s been growing in those two or other semi-hypdroponic stuff. I’m debating putting my thirsty white fusion in leca 😁

Heyyy! I'm so early 💜 thank you for existing

[kmmmmmma]

can we just appreciate how gorgeous she always looks?

[soilfreebee]

I def recommend fertilizing alocasias every two weeks! In nature they're heavy nutrient feeders by eating decaying matter along the jungle floor!! If the leaves keep dying if might be bc they aren't getting enough nutrients :)

[jennifermurphy]

Wet sticks are my favorite videos. Thank you so much! ❤️😘

[ahiddenstem]

I just said when I opened Youtube, I'd love a new Fern video, and here you are fulfilling my dreams <3 Thank you for making this video! I'm trying to wet stick prop a runner from my monstera standleyana albo so this was awesome to see! Fingers crossed it works outttt!

[tylerburnett]

Attempting to propagating my first wet stick ever and this video made me super excited to watch the progress!

[elizabethlacey]

Thank you for sharing!! I love your prop box!!! I do mine just how you showed us!!!

[terrydavis]

A trick to avoid root. Rot: water with one quarter teaspoon of peroxide per gallon of water monthly and right after repotting . I am off of grow lights because the special spectrum falls off after a couple months and then it's just a fluorescent bulb

[skilltes]

I am obsessed with my adansonii that I grew from a wet stick. It's sooo small and I can't stand how cute it is!!!

[wandashaw]

Or you can put your prop box on top of your fridge if your kitchen gets enough light! 🌱🌱🌱😍😍😍

I've only had one wet stick success with a manjula pothos. most of my wet sticks have just rotted. Thanks for the great tips!
