Your M. Aurea is going to be ridiculously amazing when it’s a big plant.. wow!!!

Your El Choco is absolutely beautiful Fern #goals Where I live asparagus ferns are sold in the garden centers as a bedding plant. I have huge lush pots of it that I’ve never been able to keep happy inside during our frigid winters. I now simply put them in my garage during the winter and pull them out in the spring. They completely die back so I cut them down to the soil and put them back outside when temps allow. I’ve been doing this for decades and haven’t lost one yet. They are a super durable plant.

I loved your Streptocarpus. I love them and have at least 100 of them. Most bloom almost all year long and some don’t stop.

The pink pot + Asparagus Fern look so good 😍

Hi Fern, I am loving all of your April faves, especially the El Choco and the Ficus, I have that Ficus too and I have been crushing on it since I got it!!

Canadian tire has cute rectangle terra cotta pots that would probably be the right size for that plant

Lovely ❤ plants 🪴

My ficus moonlight is such a happy little pop of light, can't wait for it to get bigger.

Everything trailing can get those ruffles., it’s called corking. It’s basically a barky layer that forms on the stem/petiole to provide support for the load-bearing leaves. Although the beginning stages look similar, IT IS NOT SCALE!! Do not try to scrape it off or remove it!! ❌❌❌❌ You’ll end up removing the top layer of the epidermis, opening up the door for rot and You can tell by taking an alcohol pad or swap and wipe it. If it comes off easily, it’s scale, if it doesn’t come off, it’s not. I have it on my Monstera, some syngonium in my collection and a few others.

Recently I’m into Pteris species of ferns.

I keep them in moss until it's pretty significantly rooted. Once it's rooted you can start fertilizing so it will have no problem staying in moss longer. It's up to you really, but I'd rather wait longer than transfer it out too soon.
