Mad about Fern - an introduction to ferns with Wina @fern_wmp

In this episode, I am joined by Wina from @fern_wmp to chat about ferns. I ask all the right questions about these plants as Wina struggle to answer them throughout lol. This episode is quite hilarious as I am very comfortable talking to Wina. There are tons of wonderful fern visuals and cinematography flashed on the screen throughout the episode - courtesy of Wina since she is a cinematographer.
We discuss the types of ferns there are, visiting them in their natural habitats, fern care, propagation, etc… In the middle of the episode we speculate on the care of maiden hair ferns (adiantums). I also ask Wina what some of her favorite ferns are. We talk about sustainability of ferns, their conservation status, as well as tree fern substrate alternatives.

    Andam looks like what we call bracken in Australia, it grows abundantly and is viewed as a weed. Our tree ferns(to buy) come with a registration certificate to prove it isn't poached. Great video, ferns finally!

    Wonderful episode, I learned something about why ferns don't grow well for me - never tried using a fan on them when they begin to crisp up. I love them but I have killed my last one.What the two of you called "andam" is what the growers of very expensive aroids are now putting in their moss poles instead of sphagnum moss. There are some plant tubers who grow the thousand dollar plus aroids and they all recommend what they call "tree fern fiber." It retails for about 50 dollars US per pound so even their substrate is as nigh end as possible. 🤣

    Hello, I purchased a Autumn Fern Oct of 2022. Only because of the beautiful coloring. I've never been interested in Ferns because of the difficulty ( I 've heard) of maintaining them. I literally was fussy with it this morn. because I couldn't understand why it was constantly getting crispy tips & there u were with a episode about Ferns. The air circulation was definitely worth noting because I recently place a air circulation fan near it. Look forward to more content..Thank U

    I remember Wina a lot; I think us Indonesians noticed her, in the midst of Aroid Craze, she was posting about ferns with all the incredibly intricate latin names and being able to ID them all. I’m very fond of ferns; I think it’s cuz they have this lacy, delicate appearance, and they have this tendency to sway in the winds that makes a perfect object to look at after a long day, it definitely provides much needed movement in the garden too. However, my family always complained whenever I purchase ferns (it grows everywhere here, on the trees, on the streets, basically a weed here); they’d say I have purchased a weed back to home 😂😂 add with the fact that ferns can be hard to take care of has made me turned off to raise ferns. But after seeing Wina’s posts and her social media, Idk if I can use another word than being inspired, but let’s just say it definitely made me be able to stick to my opinion and made me appreciates ferns more.

Outside in the summer months no problem but bring them inside and they turn into crispy critters. ❄️💚🙃 Heck I turn into a crispy critter in the winter months! ❄️💚🙃

I'm hungry for new information besides what's already out there. I love ferns for their prehistoric quality and how lush they can grow under the right conditions. Also, I know that this episode is about ferns, but what was that plant on the base of the Blechnum clip? The leaves look anthurium-esque but it also looks like a vining plant
