ABOUT ME
I’m Fern! A 20-something gal living on beautiful Vancouver Island, Canada with my sweet lil doggo Olive and over 100 houseplants. I like to create content on social media part time and also work as a Registered Nurse. I am passionate about all things living and I have been vegan for over 5 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!

OK so this is a long one. It was requested that I do a longer plant chores video so you could play this in the background of doing your own plant chores 🥰 let me know if you dig it! A lot of it is in real time vs sped up :)

Would you consider doing an apartment tour? I'd to see how each room flows and how all the plants are set up!
Absolutely loving the longer videos! I was able to put this one while i was making my supper and while I ate! And love love love plant chore videos!

Your planty chores vids are the absolute best. Today, I potted up three separate propagations of pothos, vining philo, and small siltepecana pieces. I also took the sticky labels from a few candle jars to reuse for plants. Feel so accomplished! Now I'm gonna go back and re-watch but this time I'll pay attention!

Love longer video's, like seeing how all your plants are doing.
You "made me" get a Ph. Silver Sword a while back. Got a rather small plant from Ebay that took 1 month to be shipped to me. For Like 35 USD. Loved it so much so today I took a Uber to a plantshop faaaaar away and got a 17cm pot Silver Sword with Huuuge leafs - for the same price as the Ebay. :D Thank you, for your inspiring videos. :D

Perfect timing! Just got 2 orders from Cactus Club and The Violet Barn
9:58 *LEEEEEET THE SUN SHIIIINE~* Also I'm jealous I love your Hoya carnosa compacta but they're so fussy for my area
Commenting as I go! I love your p. Brasil. I had one, that looking back I think had thrips right from the start and I just didn't know the signs. It never stood a chance 😕. I have a beautiful new massive regular heart leaf philodendron, and that's good enough for me for now!
I had such anxiety when you took that moss off the roots of your Hoya 😬 Looks like it’s going to do well. 🍃🪴🌵🌱
I always use this mesh that people use to line garden beds and it works amazing!
Omg Your hand writing is so pretty 😀👍🏻
Livingggg for the long videos!!
While watching your videos it reminds me I have some plant chores to do myself which is overly due lol. Great video by the way❤️
i recommend coffeefilterpaper for the bottom of the pot. I use one layer, so just one part of the filter. It works quite well and it doesn't cause mold probs. You might have to make a small hole, because sometimes the flow isn't well enough without doing so, but you will see. I put it in, let water drain through, put the plant in, water again.. and then i use my nails to poke through very carefully to check the water can come out :D the seramis and sometimes perlite i use, stays in anyway. It will work with soil as well i guess.
I become so so so sooo happy when I see a video of you😍
You are looking very Tinkerbell like in this video 🤩 the hair + the green top! Thank you for entertaining me, as always! Keep well xx
Great kitchen counter!! Love your necklace!
Your Philodendron Brazil is gorgeous!!!! I love mine but it's pretty tiny 💚🌿💚

Ok I immediately thought of you when I found these - they're pots on amazon that are SUPER cute (cylindrical, have a drainage hole and a tray) and are plastic but come in terra cotta color! I know that terra cotta and plastic are pretty much the only 2 pots that you use, and you love the look of terra cotta, so I thought those would be perfect for plants that might need a plastic pot while still having the ~aesthetic~ of good old TC. I ordered a bunch for myself in white and terra cotta. Had a field day repotting some of my dudes in those while playing this vid in the background!

Have a try at using plastic window mesh to line the bottom of pots. You can easily buy a roll of it. They’re easy to cut to size for different pot sizes, it’s washable/reusable, and best of all, it won’t mold since it’s made to withstand moisture.
You say you love the sunlight when it comes out. I live in Texas. I feel the same way about hard rains. It’s rare though.

I use tea filters in the pots over the hole 😀
The best solution I have found for covering the drain hole in pots is to use a piece of paper coffee filter. It eventually breaks down over time, but by then the plant/roots/soil has had time to settle in and establish a bit, and soil falling out is much less of an issue.

Wow! The stripes are gorgeous! So many pretty variegations! When I take propagations I leave the new leaves on because they will continue to grow. Is it better for root growth to chop them off? I also pre water the plant to soften the roots before I repot. Watering them before makes the roots softer and easier to manage. :) I love long planty chore videos! 👏🏼😘
