Also not keeping plants clean! A dusty plant doesn't photosynthesise so good. I use the neem oil to clean my leaves, keep them shiny and help to keep the pests away! :)

Fern is such a fitting name for you, I love it

& I also agree when starting out your plant journey to not overbuy! In the beginning I bought every damn plant I could find & a month or so later they no longer brought me joy, I either gave them away or let them die. I only buy what brings me joy now, but then again it may be because I'm running out of room 😬😂

Yes, exactly! I'm so picky now with what I bring home.

When I first saw your channel I was certain that it was big because of the quality of your videos and the way you seem so comfortable with the camera but theeeeen I saw that I couldn’t be farther from the truth and let me tell you, it was a shock. I love your vibe and videos so I hope your channel grows as much as your plants :)

I'm binge watching your videos and learning sooo much. I started my plant journey during Covid and it has been so enjoyable. I've already overwatered, placed my plants in direct sunlight outside and scorched them😫 But I began researching plant care and now know better and they're rallying on 💚

Ahh thanks for watching! Good luck on your plant journey

So grateful for youtubers such as yourself for helping me with these things. In the last year I have really tried to increase my houseplant collection (yes, my fiance is starting to worry that he is going to be in the movie Jumangi soon lol) but I was doing several of these things prior to watching videos and learning. The over watering and too large of repots were my worst habits. I am doing so much better with my plant babies now. Now if I could just afford every plant I want haha. Well, and have enough window and space to keep them all.

Ugh my mom is always over potting plants and it kills me 😅

Funny because I need a humidifier since I live in the middle of a dessert

This was really helpful thank you. I’ve been buying a lot of plants recently and haven’t considered pests.. also I thought bigger pots were better so that’s been helpful too!

Thank you! Your last tip helps me realize that I need to slow down in buying plants before it’s too late. Cause I killed 3 already 💔

There are some plants that I have that if I don't spray them daily they will get brown edges (in a 60-70% humidity). Spray does sometimes the trick. And helps against pests.

I'm one of those people that mist my plants but only because it's so fun to me lol 😂 I find it so peaceful, plus I have one of those pump misters so it doesn't hurt my hand lol. But I do love spraying, but I will say it doesn't help much 😭😂

Great job giving information...I find figuring out plants reminds me of figuring out your teen age kids been there...I agree with your sound advice...buy what you like be mindful of water in take...keep control of pest...great job young lady...thanks happy plant life to you...

I have been dedicating alot more time learning about house plants and making sure I become a good house plant mama. So true about trying not to over buy. I already have 2 I know that are not my faves that I got because " I needed" me some plantintas. But honestly, they still make me happy because plants, over all, bring me joy and closer to my creator. Well see how it goes. Apparently I be liking expensive plants ( anthurium, begonias, some hoyas). But I love me some OG genuine philodendron heart shape babies and scindapsis.

I love your content, I have one question since your an expert!! I have a money tree that I got a week ago, it used to look super fresh, vibrant and looked super happy and healthy, but now it just looks super droopy, miserable, the leaves are super soft, it looks tired, and overall doesn't look healthy at all. The plant came with a pot with moss on top, I think its moss, I'm pretty sure it to keep moisture in the soil, it also gets indirect sunlight, I live in CA Idk if that helps. And lastly, I only watered it once during this 7+ days I have had the plant. Please let me know what the problem is and what I can do.

Nice info! Though I have passed that stage while ago, for sure this video will help many many people!

Started with the plant obsession 2-3 weeks ago, bought so many plants I was stressed out like crazy as I just had to fall in love with calatheas of all plants, then topped it with fittonias... sadly can't have any pothos which was my go-to plant (because they are easy to care for) until I read they are toxic to cats (and I have literally nowhere to put them so they couldn't reach them (yet) :( Definitely did the overwatering and overpotting bit, yep. but so far all of them are alive :')

I'm a new plant mom and this was so helpful, does anyone know any place to fund out how to care for specific plants?? 🌻💛

I’m struggling with what I think is mealy bugs currently on a plant I got for free from a nursery. It was in bad shape and I had it thriving then one day white things stuck all over the leaves and stems and it’s been quarantined for two weeks

ugh i got my first 2 plants when i was like 10 and nearly i killed them both like 483883 times, but now i have my ghost succulents babies, and my money tree is starting to thrive again :)

thanks for the video! they‘re always so helpful, from you supplement video to this now and also the point with drying plants out is really good, left my plants at home while i was at my parent‘s for three week now during the pandemic, was really freaked out that they will all die but they were just great, some have even grown more than before!

It does not help when the green house calls your name and you go to check out what they got in this week. Around Winnipeg we have several great suppliers of plants with so many choices and decent prices. You are right I found I am starting to narrow my choices somewhat.

Ok. Question about quarantining your new plants. How separate should you have them from your other plants? Like a whole separate room? Or can they be in the same room just not touching your other plants?

@wildfern

Good question. I used to do a whole separate room, but now all of my rooms are full of plants lol. So I just set them off to the side for awhile. The further the better but just work with the space you have.
