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!

Fern when she hears her neighbours hoover: 👁👄👁
I can’t get enough of your mullet.
🥰🥰🥰
Fern I don't know if I'm crazy but I feel like the mullet has now grown into you, I don't know how to say it in english, like it has molded into you and if it was cool before now it looks amazing, you get me? love the videos!
Thank you so much 🥰
Hi fern! Just wanna let you know that watching you is one of my favorite relaxation activities. Your channel feels like home, like when after watching all the crazy and fun vlogs/videos, I end my day with yours. I may not relate with all your video content but I still watch it nonetheless. Thank you! Keep doing you 🥰
Awe thank you so much. So glad you find some relaxation in my videos
Recently been researching fertilizers since I just ran out and fern is comin in clutch with this viddy!!
Girl don't stress about the vacuum. I personally can barely hear it and I really don't care!!! Like this if the vacuuming is not a problem for youuuu!!
Also love you and love this video ❤️❤️❤️ you're the cutesttttt
Hahah thank you!! Just my luck - every time I go to film some noise starts somewhere 😁
I have noisy upstairs neighbors too, they always make the most noise whenever the camera turns on 😅😂 how do they know?!
thank you so much for this video, it's super helpful and i actually really enjoyed seeing the products you use! i haven't been fertilizing my plants but i really want to start so this has helped me get an idea of different products :)
Hi Fern. Awesome video as always. I love watching your content. I don't have planty friend's in my social circle so it is always like spending time with a good planty friend and nerd out about planty stuff :) Thank you for your content and love for plants and keeping all of us inspired
Awe! I love that too.Thanks so much for watching x
Hi Fern! I had a really bad mental health day and your cute face and beautiful plants made me smile, thank you ❤️
Awe 🥺 so glad it helped. Feel better!
Definitely going to try that cacti fertilizer! Thanks Fern, per usual 🙌🏻💚
If you haven't i highly recommend getting dome Liqui-Dirt. Its a super concentrated plant food and its amazing. Also, if youre into compost tea then boogie brew makes a great compost tea.
Also master blend 3 part is king of fertilizers!
This video is exactly what I needed!! Thank you for sharing!
I love the orchid spray for Hoyas but got a tip from someone to spray at the end of the day after lights go off if you have them under artificial lighting. Keeps them from burning (similar to how you wouldn’t spray leaves with neem and then put under a light) and the fertilizer works great!
Ahhh yes this is smart
your videos are so informative! I'm a new plant parent and this was really helpful, thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!!
I really appreciate the fertilizer info! It’s always been a vague process to me. I just started using Marphyl soil enhancer and mix it with the SuperThrive and my plants seem to love it! I am definitely going to try the Orchid spray on my Hoya! Keep up the amazing videos my planty friend! 🪴😊
Oooo I've heard really good things about the Marphyl one!
How much of the superthrive do you use??
Love your videos! I always wait to see when you post. I learn so much from you. Love Jen.
HELLOOOOOO!!!!! I get super excited whenever I see u upload new videos, especially in the afternoon!!!!!!! (because that's when I am working on uni projects) It makes me feel in good company :)
Ahh awesome! Hope you have a fantastic day! x
you can order dropper bottles to keep some fertilizer in for easy measuring - I do this and I really recommend it, so much easier then fumbling around with the large concentrate bottle every time you feed you plants
Love the content, much love and respect from Colorado. Happy growing my friend.
When I started using orchid spray on my hoya they went into exponential growth. It was incredible. I’ve only got green carnosa, crimson princess & macrophyla. It works with all of them. They’re all under a very bright grow light & none have ever burned in any way
Ahh amazing! After seeing these comments, I am thinking I will start using it again lol
I needed this video in my life! So much helpful info.
Glad it was helpful!
Looks like I'm squeezing in just before the deadline for some carnivorous fertilizer! Came back to tell you that I've followed/liked Jessi Mae's FB page. Thanks!!
I‘ve waited so long for this video 🤩🌿 thank you !! 💚✨✨
You're so welcome!
I recently started using organic seaweed fertiliser and new growth has been exponential
Were using it in semi hydro or in soil?
@@seraphinag6386 I've also been using organic liquid seaweed fertiliser and I use it when watering soil, I haven't tried using it in semi-hydro because it's like a thick brown liquid and I thought it might make the water go a bit gross! 😊🌱
What brand have you been using if you don't mind me asking?
@@meredithboles48 I've been using the maxicrop all purpose organic liquid fertiliser from Sarah raven, I'm from the UK so I don't know if you can get it anywhere else 😊
@@daisyfoulds8783 thank you so much!!
You can also use the general hydroponics fertilizer for your plants in soil. It is the same measurements, but the bottles do say you can use them with soil. My plants LOVE it! If you use the orchid spray try spraying your hoyas in the evenings when your lights are off and the sun is down so it has time to absorb.
Ahh I have never tried for my plants in soil. Good idea since the bottles are giant haha!
I use my orchid spray on my Hoyas every other week and mine haven’t burned or anything like that. Even the ones under my grow lights! Maybe just your lights were too strong for that plant 😊💚
i just started using liquidirt! i also have extremely old miracle gro around here somewhere that my s.o. already had when i moved in lmao i use it for the plants we have outside.
Just got a carnivorous plant ! I would love to try this fertilizer !
Thanks for sharing 😁 I’m so bad about fertilizing.
I started following u cos the stingray alocasia video just searching about super thrive and here I am again on your channel, lovely work and discussion on topics
Thank you so much for watching 😊
Am the same i just use a basic bought in store fertiliser. It can be so confusing so if i can get everything in one or two products then thats great 👍 Excellent video again Fern🪴🤗...thank you take care and stay safe 😷
Yes totally! If it works it works :)
@@wildfern 100% Your plants are all looking amazing, im just potting up some fuzzy nodding violet babies, thats a plant that grows beautifully and is super fuzzy with stunning little violet flowers that look like fairy hats...was a super cheap find at £3 You should check it out what a stunning little baby...if you like it but can't find it in Canada let me know and il send you a few cuttings..🪴😊
I use 18-10-11 slow release fertilizer, combined with Seasol seaweed concentrate (which stinks worse than fish emulsion ugh) for all the vitamins calcium magnesium iron etc, Root Roids to make the roots go nuts and Fulvic Acid so the plant is able to absorb maximum nutrients!
(ps/ Nothing to do with plants but you seriously can rock any hairstyle!!! And I love the makeup look too!)
I use the orchid fert for all my hoya - once monthly at the time I water. I've been using this fertilizing method for all my hoya for a little over a year and I've noticed zero leaf burn. I have most of my hoya under a generic grow light strip, east facing and south facing windows. Hope that clears some of your fears surrounding that method.
Awesome! Thank you for sharing!
I've seen you use a planner before. Would you ever do a video of how you organize it?? :)
I dont have personal experience with the orchid fertilizer on hoya but maybe its like neem oil where if u spray it on a plant and then the plant gets direct light before it dries it’ll burn?
Thank you for making me feel better about using my old bottle of Miracle Grow fertilizer, that thing just won't die lol
Hahahah relatable!
this was sooo helpful, thank you 💞💞
I've recently been watching a lot of Harli G too and she swears by Liqui-Dirt, which led me to buy it. I've been heavily diluting it right now, but my bedroom climate is very warm so my plants are growing sooo much. Works for soil, leca, and plants growing in water too!
Yes I hear a lot of good things about that! Unfortunately I've never seen it available here in Canada.
@@wildfern oh noo, I hope it becomes available soon!
@@wildfern It‘s available now 😊
I use a product called BioThrive by General Organics, worm castings and I have used the Orchid spray for my Hoyas.
Thanks for all your info.
Was wondering where you get your worm castings?
@@lorifox4699 I buy mine at a local Hydroponic store. I think Amazon sells them.
Love the channel!
And I love your mullet haircut ❤️❤️
My name is Jessie Mae and honestly, I was initially very confused when you started talking about the Jessi Mae fertilizer 😂
I've wanted a carnivorous plant for a long time but am super intimidated. Knowing there is a company out there to support me is so helpful. I followed Jessi Mae on FB and would love to be chosen for the giveaway!
Burnt leaves with foliar fertilizer could be caused by the wet leaves under the grow lights. I would spray then let the leaves dry before exposing to grow the lights.
Thanks fir the video. Have u trialed with 2 identical plants, 1 fertilised half strength and the second at full strength for a period of time, just to see if it really makes a difference to the plant, for growth and blooming?
I'd love someone to do a vid on this. I'm always wondering if it's in my head or not, haha.
Can you give advice for how you move all of your plants? I’m moving soon and very nervous of what to do with my plants because I may have a week in between my current lease and the start of my new lease ahhh
What do you think about the solid fertilizers that are like tiny balls that you place on top of the soil? I think the purpose is slow release
I haven't used them before!
I have a about 46 years old Hoya Carnosa, never gave fertilizer she is still growing and big. I only repot twice.
Hey Fern, would you use the vitamax pro to replace leca three step nutrients or in addition? Thanks!
Hi Fern that’s for the information, ☘️
Would love an update on what you're finding useful these days :)
Hi Fern! Thank you for your video. Do you mix the Superthrive with the Flora Series in water? I mean, can they be added together? Thank you for your answer ☘️🌿
I don't add the super thrive to the flora series, just when I fertilize with my GroTek vitamax pro or miracle gro (or on its own).
Can I use schultz 10-15-10 to a maranta on a leca? How often do u recommend to feed maranta on a leca?😊 greetings from Philippines.
You can, but your plant would do better with a hydroponic fertilizer. They need different ratios of nutrients when they are in water vs soil. I use the nutrients for every second water change, so about every month.
Hi what kind of soil do you use for indoor plants? Thank you.
Very helpful
Would you use the vitamax pro on hoya foliage? And what would be the ratio? Thanks and love 💕
As a spray/mist
I’d love to be entered! That carnivorous plant fertilizer would be so perfect for my nepenthes too!
Question about the general hydroponics-
what ratio do you use? There are a few options on the bottle and I was curious what you use for your Thai constellation. It isn’t super clear on the bottle or on their website on what to use for house plants. I usually do the 1x1x1 ratio (general use) to be safe on my monstera albo, but I think I could increase it a bit and especially on my other LECA plants. I just don’t want to over-fertilize. I swear by General Hydroponics though. My albo pushed out 2 new leaves in 2.5 weeks as soon as I put my IKEA milsbo greenhouse cabinet together and it got the prime spot lol. I think the combo of the fertilizer and the prime conditions have it the courage the push out the leaf it had been working on since September. Anyway, thanks in advance for your advice!! So sorry for the long comment. 😬
I do the general use one as well! It comes out to such a tiny amount... like 0.10ml of each per 500ml of water. I see other people use what looks like a lot more so it could probably be upped.
@@wildfern thank you!! I've seen that online too. I usually mix up a full gallon and fertilize some of my other plants too. I found out that GH can be used with soil as well and I've seen great results from using it that way too. I want to give some of these other products a try though! Super Thrive sounds amazing! Thank you for replying!! 🌱💚
How well does that jessi mae carnivorous plant fertilizer work? I’m thinking of getting some for my sundews.
I feel it works really well when I use it consistently! I haven't used it since the summer, but am going to start back up soon for the spring.
i recently got some super thrive & thought of you 💓💓
i have followed jessi mae products on fb too!
Flora gro produce l used for semi hydro they leave brown and fall off to compare without using my plants look more happy l don’t know why
I’m following Jessi Mae Products !
Hi Fern! I just started using SuperThrive (from watching your vids!) and I was wondering if you have any experience with ratios? I know there are directions on the back, but is it okay to just do 1 drop in a little shot glass of water with cuttings? Or will that over do it? Thanks!!!
I usually do one drop to a larger vessel so maybe mix up more water with the one drop and then fill up your shot glass with that. I think it would be too much for such a small container. I don't ever measure but for my watering can I will put 2 drops, if that gives you any idea 😃
@@wildfern okay perfect I’ll try that!
Miracle Grow website says the fertilizer has a 3 year shelf life if kept in a cool, dry location and it can be viable for up to eight years. If that product is eight years or older you might as well get rid of it.
It's probably coming close to there lol! Thanks :)
Off topic- your hair is SO white! What toner are you using on it? xx
I also followed jessi mae products on Facebook!
I want to try a different fertilizer but I think I have three different fertilizers I need to use up first. 😑
Thoughts on slow release fertilizer balls?
I haven't used them, sorry!
Just an FYI General Hydroponics was bought by Monsanto. I know it's a good product but if you don't want to support the 'monster' there are lots of other brands for hydroponics.
I am not criticizing you for having it because I didn't know either just letting others know.
Love your videos! 😘
Oh daaang. That sucks! I won't be buying again.
Followed Jessi Mae on FB as well
I also followed Jessi Mae Products on facebook !
I've only ever over fertilized plants once, and I was a child so I thought a 1:1 diluted miracle gro would make them grow faster 🤣 but for normal fertilizer I think it's difficult to over fertilize and I actually think under-fertilizing has killed more of my plants
I also followed Jessie Mae's Facebook page :)
perfect timing because it’s going to be spring soon and i’m thinking about buying my first fertiliser! 😌
Tbh i used superthrive half of the growing season last year and i honestly didnt notice anything
you are too pretty!!! love this video
oh!! and i can be contacted through email:
charliejskube@gmail.com
and followed Jessie Mae Products on Facebook🥰
I'm probably the only person who did this, but I was curious about how many plants you have in your home, so I did the math--if you're watering 99.9% of your plants with tap water, but a couple with distilled, then you have 2000 plants! What a jungle!
it really is!!
or front fringe
would love a carnivorous fertilizer (raedayart on intsaaa) hope you have better neighbours at the new place!
I followed JessiMae on FB!!
💚💚
I read this somewhere ..."Miracle-Grow is a synthetic fertilizer that contains ammonium phosphate and several other chemicals that can be TOXIC to your soil and plants. It is prohibited from use in certified-organic farming...Usually these fertilizers are also highly soluble, so they leach away and polute our water systems too." This info from davesgarden.com > guides>terms
Hey pretty!
Good morning!
I kinda wanted my bangs like that
I followed Jessi Mae Products on Facebook.
Good video. I heard some people say not to mist hoyas. Which I find confusing as some people say hoyas like humidity, so why would misting be bad. Can you help clarify this.
Please enter me in the giveaway. Thx.
I don't mist them, but I don't see why it would hurt!
I am following Jessi Mae on facebook for an extra entry!
@allfallonsfronds is my insta handle, and i killed my first pitcher plant bye fertalizing its soil :(
Ive since learned and put an osmocoat bead in them every month, but would love to try this new fertalizer!
Lol the cute old man
😂
I’d like to be entered!
I followed on Facebook as well!
All handles are Snoogykin, I’m on your Patreon too! 🤗 I have a pitcher plant!
💕💕💕
fern please do a 360 of your hair on ig story, i wanna show my hairdresser!!
what's your instagram? I will send it to you
@@wildfern my instagram is: liadobec :)) thank you so muuuch❤️❤️
Do I use chemical fertilizer? No
Am I still gonna watch cause Fern? Yes
I’d like to be in the giveaway! IG is @kirstengasiorowski 💚
I use natural fertilizers only cause I’m sensitive to chemicals and try my best to keep them completely out of my home. I use egg shells and coffee grounds instead and still get lots of happy flowering plants! 🌸
I would love to get that Jessi Mae fertilizer! I just bought my first sundew 🥰 my insta is _wi1dflowers_ and I followed them on fb!
I love the general hydro stuff for my leca and perlite pots. I also use the orchid fertilizer on my dischidia and my Hoya (but have to take everything outside now because my kid pointed out that is smells like pee 🤢) I also use it on all my several of my aroids. Would love to be entered for the giveaway ig @clearlycrested
I would love to enter the giveaway! My IG is @pretty.little.pothos ♥️
oh and also Superthrive is amazing i use it for almost everything 👏🏼
My nepenthes would LOVE to have some fertilizer rather than waiting for me to kill a bug & feed it. Lol. IG @MishJR
Btw... I've been using that orchid fertilizer on my hoya Krimson Quuen, hindu rope & pubicakyx & I haven't noticed any burning. I use it 1x/week
Just started using the leca nutrients.. what a difference that made immediately got new growth when I started. I give my soil plants a diluted taste every once & a while too (not sure if it's a good or bad thing to do)they seem to enjoy it lol
I'd like to enter into the giveaway please : cheryl_959
maybe they do know the difference
Hi Fern! Love your videos! Would love to win that giveway, I have a pitcher plant that would love that product! Ps I liked them on FB!
@kenndrasmith 😌
Ugh I want a pitcher plant so bad! I’ve killed so many flytraps that I’m afraid to try again. My local plant shop has HUGE ones and I’m just waiting to buy a smaller one! I can’t follow her on Facebook because mine was hacked 😭 My Instagram handle is @kaylaygrows!
