really trying to call in all the spring energy besties 🌸 comment any tips to fight the winter blues while we anticipate springs arrival 💓
Husband bought me a light to help with with the "season depression, or S.A.D."
I don’t have any tips but I am in the same boat. Where I am the sun isn’t supposed to make an appearance for the next week and a half. I just want it to be April already 😭😂
I'm buying new pots, making planty plans, cleaning plant shelves, spending more time outside and around plants 🥰 So excited for Spring!!
I hear ya. More snow/freezing rain in good ol Saint John, NB, again..grrrr. Come on Spring, lol.
Wish I had some tips to fight the winter blues. Totally in the same boat. Cannot wait for springtime!🌼🌷💐 For the meantime, I'm just trying to keep busy by cleaning, doing planty chores, and buying some Valentine's day decor. Can't wait to decorate for the month of February! My birthday month!❤💕🌹😍💌💘
Could we get an update on all the props in the next couple months ? I think that would be a great video 🥰💚
Agree! I would love to see how they turned out.
Aww fern , I just wanna give you a million hugs 🥺🤍 I feel you on the winter blues , it’s been snowing where I live so the sun has been MIA here. You’re such a strong person for still making these videos even tho you don’t feel 100% I APPRECIATE YOU 🥰 I watch every single one. Sending all the good vibes your way ✨
Thank you so much. It isn't easy, honestly, but I know I would feel worse if I let myself fall behind. Your kind comments also help, so thank you 🥰🥺
I tend to love blues and dark colours in my home, but in winter they just make me feel sad. So I always change my bedding to bright colours in the winter and try to introduce colour through my house where I can, and I’ve found it makes me happier 😊
My girl you need one of those lights for people who have seasonal depression. I can tell you're really going thru it, I totally feel that. I HATE winter and autumn. The cold wreaks havoc on my joints and I'm always just so tired and depressed. I'm so ready to have warmth and greenery outside again.
I live in a cave so I have tons of grow lights up this year in my livingroom. So much nicer for mood having the brightness. I have also been collecting small vintage pots from ebay. Planning on cactus and succulents this spring. I live deep in the Midwest so it has been very cold and my house is bermed so not many windows. My best window is north facing and I live on the edge of a forest so I can't see the sun much even if it is out. Daydreaming of spring so I can play out in my rock garden and hear my chickens make their happy it is warm again sounds!
Thank you for teaching me about making my own soil mix. I am an oerwaterer so now my mix works with me instead of against me.
I love doing the butterfly method in spag for “string of” plants. It’s much slower but I think it gives a more stable plant. Plus if you do it in soup containers it’s super easy to pot up!
I used just straight up peat moss and it was super quick, took maybe a month until I could see the roots at the bottom on the container.
I totally understand where you're coming from with the lack of sun. It affects me a lot too in the winter. So happy to have spring here now. And it's amazing how much more energy I have now. Sometimes I just step outside my house just to breathe in the air. Nothing like a mix of sun, plants and ocean air to make me feel better. (I live in a beach/vacation town)
I think so far plants have been amazing for my mental health especially during winter. I got through the phase of unhealthy collecting of plants. Now I just really enjoy watching the ones I have grow. It makes my day.
P.S. I LOVE when you write out your To-Do List and go through it with us! Your videos are always so good girl! Keep it up!
This is nice to hear, I always wonder if people like the list haha!! Thank you x
If your t jade is weak where it hits the edge of pot, use some decorative Spanish mose or moss sheet and lay it under that area. Its helps the weight where it pinches a bit at kpot edge.
I enjoyed this video; very relaxing. The daylight is lasting longer every day 🌞💛
Hey Fern. You're not alone. I too am really struggling with severe Seasonal depression. Living in Oregon, so similar to Canada. I find music, meditation, bettering my diet help....problem when depressed to eat well though. I also keep my grow lights on longer as I feel it helps a smidgen. Hang in there Sis, Spring is coming.
Yes, so true - I find that when I'm not doing well mentally I don't cook as much. This time of year is sooo hard, I'm sorry to hear youre going through it too ❤️ thanks for watching and here's to manifesting sun for the west coast 🌞
Winter Blues sucks! Sending you sunny vibes from Texas 💕💕💕💕💕 It’s been gloomy lately but it gets better
Wind one of the vines for your string of plant back into the top of the pot and pin it down so it roots and shoots new vines up. Then trim up the rest. I prop butterfly style directly into soil with a ziplock on top. Works awesome.
I bought those florist pins just for this reason. My strings of… would be sooo long if I didn’t do that!!!
@@liskalangdon6576 walmart carries wide bobby pins that work super nice. I actually had a hard time finding the floral pins....I have been surprised how much my string of plants are growing. I just started another 6 inch pot with butterfly cuttings.
@@DesireeStamat omg. I haven’t bought Bobby pins in forever!! Thanks! I’ll grab some tomorrow. I bought my floral pins on Etsy. I couldn’t tell you the name of the shop but I grabbed them when I saw them!!
@@liskalangdon6576 I think they are called U pins. Wider than the typical bobby pins. Good luck with your project.
When I'm in the winter blahs I find that plenty of extra light usually cheers me up. Don't neglect the benefits of full spectrum lighting for yourself as well as your plants. Spending time under a full spectrum lamp works wonders. And time with all your pretty green babies certainly helps too! 🙂
Yesss this is the motivation I need to start my props 😂♥️
😃😃😃
I started my plant collection in winter so I am so excited to finally get growth
oh youre going to love spring!!!
I’m sure I will! I love your channel so much! Thank you for always making my day better
I’ve had a lot of success propagating micans quickly in water with Pothos cuttings!!
Catching your propagation video. I truly enjoyed it.
And yes we have had two weeks of clouds and rain here. It definitely is affecting my mood
You are so inspiring! I just put together my first perlite propagation box thanks to you! Keep doing what you are doing!!
thank you so much Ian 🥺
Oh Fern, you’re the best. I hope you get some sun soon! ☀️ 💚
I’ve been lusting after trailing jade ever since you got yours. I really hope you can rescue it! It’s such a beautiful plant!
Sunlight is good for the soul. I live for the warmth and therapeutic healing that it brings. You are not alone!!!
I love that you used one of your pasta jars!! Funny enough I keep those same pasta jars too in case I wanna propogate or pot up a plant hehe :) and yeah I feel y when it comes to the winter blues.. long winters and short summers in AB big ugh.
One thing I find helps combat winter blues is having some form of light in my room. I know we cannot always rely.on the sun to come out in the winter soo what I do is I leave some of my favorite overhead lights on. But also listening to music and cuddling your furbaby helps too ^^ 💗 much love to you Fern!
great tips, I agree that lights help a lot. I feel so much better even having my fairy lights turned on on a gloomy day 💚
My normal Jade plants propagate so well in my prop boxes! you should see if the trailing jade does well in a prop box as well!
I actually picked up my first hoya today because you talk about them so often, fingers crossed that it grows okay! this winter has been really hard on some of my plants. :(
When doing leaf propagation with Jade leaves just lay them on top of the soil. They will send out roots into the soil.
For your string of hearts that is sparse on top: I would Position the bulk of how you want it (to cover the top) and add a few pins (even just bobby pins). They will root and stay there in no time.
I kind of giggled when you were saying spring is close 😂 we get snow sometimes all the way into May. I just chopped some ridiculously long bits off my h. Linearis, wayetii, and verigated waytetii last night and threw them in my prop box 🤞
Snow in May should be a crime 😤 lucky for me, we start seeing signs of spring here in February. Like flowers popping up and stuff. But still lots of rain until May-ish too 😩
@@wildfern we had snow on the 4th of July once 😑 but then it was like 80⁰ two days later
You totally inspired me to take cuttings of plants that needed a vine trimmed, I need to fill out, etc. Loved this type of video! I use different mediums too, I love water and sphagnum moss the most
After watching your video, I’m gonna try a perlite prop box!! Gonna record it and hopefully it goes well! 🥰💚 and I am so jelly of your prop vessels, they are too cute!
Omfg prop videos are my favorite! I just set up another prop box yesterday :) v much looking forward to spring too!!
I love my Hoya Obovata !! It seems to grow very quickly!!! It seems I could literally watch it grow!!!
i love the propagation vessel you have for your string of hearts!
i did the water method for my string of hearts in my last plant chores video, and about two-three weeks later, i already have so many new roots and new growth! i can't wait to see how yours do!
With succulent leaf propagations usually you need to snap it off the vine leaving no bit attached because its the very tip that roots up. So since you cut it with scissors that part is probably left on the vine and so it's unlikely to root. Good luck though x
oh darn, I didn't think of that!
I totally understand you with the sun thing. Sometimes I feel like a weak plant just because of luck of it. And I also wanted to mention that I have been following your journey for more than a year now and the ZZ Raven just stays in place XDDD ZZs won't stop surprising me.
hahah I have been growing my ZZ raven for 2.5 years and it's only one stalk 😩 lol!
@@wildfern maybe it has too big pot or something. I know that people say that it's growing it's bulb (I guess that's how it's called) and then leaves from it
Or it needs more light because it's very dark or more nutrients? ZZ are both easy-going and hard to understand 🧜🏃♀️
With my string of hearts I've had very good results with propagating in the same pot (it's growing too fast so I don't worry about it going wrong).
I've had good results when thickening the plan with just taking a 2 knode cutting, cutting of the leaves of the bottom knode. The poke a hole with a sate stick in the soil, put the knode as deep in there as it will go and just tuck the soil. Don't know the failure rate, but I'm guessing I've trippled my string of hearts in a year.
With your trailing jade, you probably should let the ends callous over before putting them into the soil. Just a suggestion for you😊
I just got a new baby soh, I cut it and put it in water so I can fill my pots. Yours is gorgeous!
I went out early this morning and bought some orchid bark to make some good soil. This is perfect timing as I need to prop my string of hearts and philos!!
Ahh that's excellent! have fun propping :)
Hey Fern
Loved your video as usual.
Ohh your poor Jade plant
How sad 😢 it was so beautiful but the upside to this is that you had lots of cuttings from it and will grow to be bushier.
All your plants are just so beautiful they really are
Love what your plans are for this year and making your plants bushier.
Aww Fern I feel your pain honestly, that is why I have not commented lately as this time of year my depression gets worse and my illness and pain, as I am sure I have told you I live in England so always raining or snowing and sometimes both Lol
Before my mum passed away we both moved to Fuerteventura (Canary Islands)
As the temperature year round is great lots of sun.
But Mum missed home so we came back so I am trying to get back there but it is not so easy being on your own with Multiple Sclerosis but I am trying hard.
Why not consider moving somewhere hot for yourself as you mentioned it in one of your recent vids. It’s not easy but it would help you with your mental health. Try and keep your chin up, I know it is easier said than done.
Hey it is nearly spring and that is something to look forward to Yay
Sending lots of love ❤️ your way and positive vibes.

Dear Fern, you are such a beautiful soul. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve turned to you for solace when I’m struggling. I have SAD and Anxiety. My best resources are journaling, meditation, dance/movement, breath-work, plant care, making ‘bad’ art, singing, and getting outside as much as possible... even if the weather is blah. Mostly I self care as a solo endeavor because I tend to forget to connect with friends. A good laugh or heartfelt talk with a girlfriend usually does wonders. Oh and one last suggestion... shake things up and try something totally new! I just started a pottery class so I can make some of my own planters. It’s messy and foreign and it allows me to connect deeply in the present moment. Try not to be hard on yourself for struggling. A good cry is cathartic! xoxo
Hi Fern, with the String of Hearts I recommend for the propagation, to just lie down the cuttings on the medium, light cover it with a substrate and water (you can leave the leaves on)...your idea with the Perlit is very good, it will work for sure! I cannot wait the water propagation! Have a beautiful day. XX
we love you Fern!!! 😇😇😇 thank you for sharing!!!
🤗
Awwww Fern! I’m so sorry you’re feeling the seasonal sadness 😔 Spring is right around the corner and so is the sun! ☀️ it has been gloomy where I live as well, and it really affects my mood too! Sending you all of the positive vibes! 🤍 just know your videos help so many people! I look forward to your planty content every time I open the RUclips app! Feel better soon babes & much love ✨🥰🪴
I butterfly my SOH, lay them on some fresh soil, place them in a bag and place them under a grow light. I make sure the soil is moist. Hope all of your propagations do well. I live in Wisconsin we finally got some sunshine otherwise it can be really gloomy and super cold. I know all about those winter blues though.☀️♥️
Can't wait to see updates!!
I've had good luck with "string of" plants in perlite, hope you do as well 🤗
I really enjoyed watching you propagate! Thanks, RUclips, for recommending this channel to me 😊
Sending you some Texas sunshine 🙌
I hope you get some sunny days soon!
We had warm sunny days few times this week but a cold front is coming tonight and it'll be raining ice and 26°f tonight & tmrw 😣🥶
I look forward to a follow-up video on these props!!
Girl come to Texas! It is cold right now but it only lasts a few days at a time then warms back up. You are so brave cutting things up. I take cuttings but most of the time you don’t even know I was there! But I am A Hoya Head and really want them to all bloom!! I hope the weather gets better so you feel better very soon. Happy Planting!! 💚💚💚
honestly, I would love to! is it dry in Texas though? thanks for watching ☺️
@@wildfern it is sometimes dry in summer but with lots of humidity. I water plants every other day but I have nothing better to do so they keep me sane. When my kids left home after college I struggled to find my purpose in the world. But God showed me that I was here for the plants in the beauty they are and the joy they provide for me.
I'm in Michigan, my depressed a** needs sun really bad, so I hacked my plants yesterday! I'm trying a new prop vessel, a 3" hydro net pot filled with leca inside a mason jar, it looks sweet!
Great video. I can’t imagine what you’re going thru, but just hang in there…..Spring n sunshine will soon be here!
🤍🌸 sending you soooo many virtual hugs & sunny, spring vibes! i echo how you feel about not seeing the sun in a few days. the winter blues is such a real thing & a HUGE party pooper. thank you for making this amazing video & always providing me with the planty company i crave (not a lot of planty people where i live.) 💕☀️
You really inspire me and my friends who watch your channel (I told them to start watching you!!!), to grow plants but to also grow as ourselves!
❤️❤️❤️
Hi Fern 👋👋 this was such a fun one to watch !! I totally understand struggling in this dark season. Here in Seattle we are finally supposed to see the sun this weekend, hope you get to as well 💚🌱
we are supposed to get sun too!! I am sooo thankful. glad we both get to enjoy it! 🌞
I feel like the jade needs way more sunlight and dryness but glad you’re preserving some of it 😊
That was my gut feeling as well. Wish I could find one here in Central Pa. Such a cool plant!
if ur SOH ever gets super tangled again i recommend just leaving the clump on top lmao over time the tangled vines will likely root in the soil and start growing new off shoots :^)
Fun fact: To get roots to grow faster, put them in dark colored bottles.
Second hand shops should have some cheap little bottles or you could cover the clear glass ones with black or purple.
It's really hot here in NZ....like 33 plus Celsius.
I usually do my plant stuff in the evening when it's cooler.
If your blues are really making you down and tearful, try some vit D.
It's a natural supplement that you can get from a pharmacy (and usually absorbed into our skin from the sun's rays, during the summer months.
That's why it's called the winter blues.)
But only take one tablet in the morning as directed.
Time will fly especially making these great vlogs.
Cheers, Jo (nurse and plant lover) in NZ.
I sold my mother string of hearts, but I have three 4" pots worth of cuttings propagating. Probably going to sell them too. I just don't like how messy it gets. Plus it was always dropping flowers. Glad it is happy, but a bit of a mess. 😊 You can propagate from the little round tubers.
You should try propagating hoyas in the medium you’re trying to grow it in, and just bag them for humidity! It works great for me
I always procrastinate untangling my soh. It’s so satisfying and therapeutic once I get to it though!
you look so sad in the end🥺 sending you lots of hugs and sunny energy from florida love!
Thank you so much!! ahhh florida 💚💚💚 jealous!
I piled my SOP all on top and now they are impossible to untangle 🤦🏾♀️ I propagated some earlier this week but now watching you cut yours up, I want to completely chop and prop mine…oh boy!
Hi Fern, I'm going to be doing the same thing this weekend because like you, I'm so ready for Spring! We don't have too to go, so let's keep busy preparing for sunshine and lots of new growth! 😍😍🌷🌻🐝🐞🌼🌴
💚💚💚
I love seeing propagating being done. I just did my SOH and Scindapdus Moonlight and Exotica. Fingers crossed they root never did these before.
Wow chopping that entire jade was so brave. I recently had a jade get root rot I cut off the dead part and actually put it in Leca and it started growing roots a few weeks later. Jades can be tricky sending good energy ✨
Sending you all the love and hugs. Just know that you're not alone and there are a ton of people out here sending you well wishes. I've been suffering the winter blues myself lately. Hang in there sis. ❤🥰❤
Your eye lashes look so good btw! 😍
The first plant looks like string of the turtles 🐢 the dark green foliage and succulent type leaves and patterns. The string of hearts looks like the variegated one without the variegations. I love the trailing jade was so hard seeing that one being chopped up i love it when is full and trailing. I have never came across this plant before. The Hoya Obovata one of my wishlist plant the variegated one is also gorgeous. I have never done propagations before i be too scared cutting up a plant and end up doing nothing. I probably would just trim a tiny bit to give it to someone and they can root it themselves. Surprised you didn’t cut up your Hoya Compacta that one is growing so long.
I have a golden pot his named Gretchen and it’s one of my most loved and largest plants. It’s was my first plant other than a succulent that I got during quarantine and I’ve propagated and seen so much from her it’s crazy~~~ it started my plant craze💜💖😂
Enjoyed the video very much. I love propagation to make more or fuller plants. Loving all your string of things.
Hope you get some sun shine soon!!
I love the way your SOH are cascading in your prop station. They will be beautiful by Spring and ready to pot up again in no time. You have inspired me to grab my shears🤩
Sooooo I thought my string of hearts was just the regular one until i watched this video. Mine is much more silvery! Probs on chopping with so much confidence. I admire
the SAME EXACT thing is happening to my trailing jade!! It’s been fine for 2+ years and I know I didn’t overwater it, but all of a sudden all of the vines just started slowing falling off 😩 I’m glad it roots so easily in water so I can save it still 🤞🏼
wahhh 😩 why they gotta do us dirty like that!
I recommend keeping your trailing Jade in terracotta and giving it some more light! 💚
I love this type of video. The best tip was to water plants prior to cutting for propagation. I never knew that would be of benefit. Going forward I will be sure to do this. I am glad you untangled your SOH. I was getting a bit anxious with the strings all in a ball😉 The sun finally came out where I live today; even though it was-25F windchill the sun was nice to see.
Such a relaxing video to watch. Spring is coming soon! I just have to keep telling myself that because it's freezing and dark here too.
Feel mo better ☀️
This was nice. I was able to do some re-potting and propping of my own while watching. Ohhhh that string of hearts! I miss mine so much-i gave it away last spring when I moved and I have regrets. I haven’t been able to get my hands on another one yet. Maybe this summer. I love just winding them around the top of the pot and having a plant that looks full.
It’s so cold and windy and snowy here today. It’s been snowing since November so I hear ya on the weather.
My obovata grew amazing roots fast in water. I love propagating so much!
I don't know if that's your case, but some of my succulents look similar to your trailing jade. Most of ly succulents are kept outside and get a lot of direct sun, but I tried a pot inside, and it's not as forgiving in case of overwatering. I let go of trying to get succulents inside, and have put the pot back out, it seems to strat growing again. Fingers crossed your trailing jade gets better
your SOH propagation was gorgeous!!!
I honestly don’t want it to be sting yet! You’re actually really lucky to live in a place that is rainy/snowy. I live in the dessert and it’s so dry and we have had almost NO rain this winter and zero snow so our air is SO dry and it’s still been sunny every day so I’ve been watering my plants like crazy so it would actually be nice to have a rainy cold gloomy season
Thank you so much for such a great video. It made me really happy seeing this pop up on my recommended
About to go to bed and this pops up, perfect!! Hot water bottle and tea and a repot with Fern 🌿🌿
ahhh I am jealous of the relaxing vibes you have going on! enjoy ☕️
SOH are fast grower in my experience. I just "butterfly" mine and root it directly in soil and its already sprouting new strings!
sending you sunny vibes! just made myself some lemon ginger honey tea from scratch and the process alone made me feel better cause my apartment smelled so good. plus its a good vitamin c boost
I absolutely love these videos
You're one of the only RUclipsrs whose videos I like before even watching. So excited for spring!! Also your hoya obovata is lovely.
I didn't take in any air the entire video each time you cut those plants! LOL I also laugh each time you hesitate I do the same thing :P great video!
sorry for your trailing jade. you can try with sphagnum too, i had success with sphagnum prop box with the classic jade crassula.
Great video
Sending hugs your way!! 🥰 I didn’t feel like the energy was low at all in this video! Loved this video. It’s so satisfying watching plants get chopped up and propped. Can’t wait to see their progress. Hope you start to feel better and the sun comes out for you up in Canada 🌞
My Trailing jade did the exact same thing. It was thriving all summer getting long and full and then boom it just started to decline. And every time I check it more leaves have rotted and fallen off.
String of Hearts are my fav. I just propagated a some yesterday. Such fun and really sort of zen playing with them.
Thanks.
Haha!! I've been chopping a bit early too! I just couldn't wait any longer🤦 SOH, Micans, Brazil, Obavata ( Same issue, one long strand), h.publicalix, AND a few scindapsis😂 I'm planning on making a Frankenstein pot with a few of those so I'm pretty stoked about that little project😄❤🌿
ive been doing this too..i cnt wait for spring. Summer....i'm having winter blues so this helps so much.
Love this video!! Please post link to that mother light again? ❤️
Fun to watch! You said that you put in the water tiny bit of fertilizer and super thrive. What fertilizer are you using?
Definitely relatable! Thanks for the vid.
Prepping my bedroom to paint and it’s taking foreverrrr to do all the tape so this is perfect timing!!💜💚
Perfect! Hope it helps to pass the time 😃
