Girrrrrrrrl, we noticed you’ve been gone 😂 Whatever is going on in your life, just know that you’ll be ok, you’ll find peace 🙏🏾 I was low-key happy to see that you filmed a 59min video 🌱🌱🌱 Congratulations on 90k…trusssss, you’ll hit 100k
Hi!!!! Don't ever feel bad for stepping back and getting your mental health in order. It's an entire process and it's gonna suck some days but it gets better and you are proof of that. I fell in love with your channel and all your videos and noticed you were gone but to me that just meant you're brainstorming on what to bring to us as well as having a LIFE OF YOUR OWN! WE will always root for you, your well being, and everything you do!
Yay, she’s back! So good to see you and hear your beautiful, soothing voice. Have really missed you. You’re are not alone with your struggles beautiful, always take time out for yourself, it’s so important. Big hug 🤗
I don't use the Instagram so oblivious to something being wrong...am so happy that you are feeling better and able to tackle things again. You've got this girl .❤️💚🌿Stay centered and healthy ,Honey
Welcome back, Fern! Although we missed you, I’m so glad you took the initiative to take care of you when you need it. So many of us bypass creating a safe headspace for ourselves for the sake of our jobs, tasks, etc. and that just makes the hole deeper for us to crawl out of. I always think of mental health breaks like a repot of sorts! Bare with me in my wacky explanation lol: I remove myself from a constricted headspace (the pot), examine the tangled roots (healthy or not) that make up my life, and hopefully give myself some fresh soil (inner peace) so I can have room for healthier growth. Like repots for plants, doing so can shock the system a bit. But it’s well worth it so I can thrive! Caring for plants has taught me so much about how I should care for both myself and them. ♥️
I hope you’re doing well! MeNtal health can be weird and confusing but just remember you’re not alone, and your plants are there for you too! Every dead leaf is from our plants catching a bad vibe for us! Our little protectors ❤
Great video as usual! I would like to personally invite everyone watching to join Fern's Patreon. Her community is amazing. Lovely people there... encouraging, empathetic, sympathetic, funny, good-hearted, knowledgeable and I could go on and on!!!
Congrats on 90k 🥰🥰 And I’m glad you took the time necessary to take care of yourself! In a weird way, it’s kind of nice to see someone else taking that time; makes me feel less weird about when I really need to take time away from work/productivity too I guess haha. I hope you and your doggo are doing well 💗🍀
I could be wrong but your camera glitch thing looks a bit like it could be do to the florescent light in that room. The light (blinking) frequency sometimes matches up with your camera (recording) frequency, giving you and interference pattern you see happening. You could change to a different light bulb in that room to make it stop. ALSO glad you are feeling better and good to see the Wildfern again!
I think it’s really cool how you show the raw and not so pretty and perfect parts of being a human and plant mom. Just in this one video, you’ve discussed battling mental health, having issues with bugs on your plants, and even the little things like showing parts of your favorite plants that have died are so beautiful to me because you don’t try to portray this fake imagine like many do. You’re human and a beautiful, genuine, and kind one at that. I really respect you and if nobody tells you today, you’re more than enough and so valuable on this earth❤️
So so nice to meet you and so happy to hear your are healing!! You are a treasure! I used to have a houseful of plants as well. But due to my own mental health struggles I lost all but one of my collection,a sansevieria of course. Sending you positivity all the way! Thank you for being!
I just want to let you know we all struggle with mental health and what i learn from it and it help me is to meditate read a book open your shades the window put music also goes outside and get vitaMin D from the sun u gonna thank me later and slap depression on the face depreccion is a spirit that want to destroy people but we are strong minded and we can beat depression ass f depresion lets shake it off and and look for the future and how beautiful life is we love u Fern
Tip about variegated adansonii! Try moving it out from any cabinet. The white parts can’t handle the high humidity. I had the same issue with mine and as soon as I moved it out the browning stopped. Even if mine too is a little too white for my liking, the white parts has lasted for months now!
We all missed you and so glad to see your back, congratulations on 90k you'll hit that 100k in no time. Never be sorry for taking time for yourself, it's ok.
Congrats fern. I really appreciate your content. I’ve been growing through a lil depression spell as well and have missed you! Also who cares what day you hit the milestone. It happened! Celebrate the win!!❤️🔥
Glad you are back, I understand some times in life you have to but your health first, I go through the same thing, I hope you are feeling better. We all miss you and glad you are back. love watching your videos, take care of yourselves.
Sweet child you have a kind soul please dont beat yourself up over us we love you and got your back if you need us you can reach out if you need to shut down we ll be her for you when you feel better just please dont beat yourself up get out of your head and please take care of yourself
Glad youre alright!! Leaving plants to fend for themself really sucks but sometimes its nice to come back from being away and seeing which ones thrived and grew while youre gone 🥰 🌱
My variegated Adansonii also turned full white pretty quickly, but i have noticed that it also already started to develop new shoots without even cutting the top off. So I just beheaded it and waited a few weeks for the new shoots (about 5) to develop a little bit more, and once the first leafs were out, i chopped the whole plant and had several Adansoniis with more green again. I also made sure that the aerial roots of the whole plant were already developed by air layering them with sphagnum moss before chopping it into pieces.
Aw Fern 💚 so sorry things have been rough. I honestly feel like this summer has been a bit of a wild ride as far as highs and lows. Loved this casual video and glad you’re taking time for yourself when you need to!
Figured you were taking a "breather". Videos are alot more work than they seem.... we all need to take breaks. Glad no plant suffered any major trauma. You are so neat & tidy when repotting. I spread old newspaper (I take home from work) all over my kitchen floor & still have a mess. Looking Good !!!!
Hello Fern, I missed you and your videos and I'm happy to see you again. Your plants look great and fared well! I'm glad you're feeling better, and I think with everything that's going on in the world and in our own personal worlds we all need to take a mental/physical break at times. I know I do!! So please no apologies for taking care of YOU! Love your channel and much love, peace and happiness to you. And hugs and kisses to Miss Olive.
You are one of the most authentic and down to earth plant personalities on RUclips. Thanks for being open and honest about mental health issues; it helps get rid of stigmas around an issue that nearly everyone struggles with sometimes
Really relieved to see you again! I was worried but sure you've done it for the best. Just wish you to get better, it takes the time that it needs! If I can suggest a concept for a video: something like we give you name of plants we like and you discover them and react! That could be fun! Take care of you planty queen ;)
I love houseplants so much. They seem to have a remarkable ability to keep us grounded when life gets to be too much. As long as we take care of them, they're always there for us. This is especially valuable for when we disconnect from the physical world and start to live in our heads. What an incredible lesson... Here's to houseplants!! And Fern! 😊 🌱🌲🌿🌲🌱🌲🌿🌲🌱🌲🌿🌱🌿
Welcome back 😄 love the longer videos, so relaxing to watch. I can’t believe how quickly your obliqua has rooted into that pole! If you cut the runner could you propagate them?
i think chopping your begonia from the less spotty parts and propagating that part can lead to no spots on the new plant i have that same begonia and i did that but its warmer where i live so idk
Usually those new leaves that come out damaged are due to not enough humidity. I've had several different plants that would put out stunted or torn leaves or they'd have trouble emerging and humidity always solves the problem!
i was literally checking youtube everyday even the community tab. Missed you so much and i hope you start to feel better but dont ever feel bad for stepping away we're all human and we all need breaks
Welcome Back Fern! So glad you are back. Sometimes we all need time to ourselves. I’m glad you are ok. I love all the information and plant care you share with us. I have to decide if I need to plant some of my same Hoya plants together for a full pot and if I want to trellis or let them hang. Thank you for your video’s. I like you talking while you do plant care.
Glad to see you post a video! I wish you hit 100k sooner than later and that all your wishes come true! Everytime I hear you say that you wish to have a house with more space, I send a silent prayer to the Universe that you do soon! Wishing you well!❤️
Hi Fern! Seeing this video where you mention struggling w/your mental health has prompted me to give you some encouragement. Having dealt w/depression myself for yrs, I can relate to what you've been going thru. My depression was a chemical imbalance in my brain per my psychiatrist which caused me to be suicidal for seemingly no reason. Meaning, I would wake up wanting to die without having any life crisis or anything major going wrong in my life. The bright side is, it was only temporary. I cut out toxic people, daily news, and any media and music(my passion) that was negative. Within a yr of doing this I was able to come off my antidepressants completely! (weaning myself off them w/my Dr's advice of course). BUT, the biggest change I made was much prayer and seeking to be closer to my creator, God I mean. My faith is everything to me and I could not have come thru everything so flawlessly without Him, PERIOD. I'm not pushing anything on you or anyone else, just telling you my experience. And, I only want you and others that are or have gone thru depression to know there is hope and to PLEASE DON'T EVER MAKE A PERMANENT DECISION(suicide) OVER TEMPORARY PROBLEMS. Be blessed, my dear! 🙏😇
I’m so glad you are ok, we missed you! Mental health is soooo important as it affects you not only psychologically but also physically. As someone that has struggled with severe anxiety and depression for most of my life I completely agree with taking as much time off as you need. Health should always be a priority. Hope you keep feeling better. P. s. Your Philodendron Majestic is so fabulous!!!
I’m glad you’re feeling some better. I too suffer from depression. I suffered a break up after 7 yrs…talk about rough. Everyday, I realize I’m getting better. Hang tight friend!!!
The timing for that beautifully imperfect leaf to emerge on your painted lady is quite poetic ❤️❤️ Hugs to you. I’ve recently found your channel, and today was the day I decided to subscribe!
So glad you are back. I am in so much pain today, all I wanted was my sofa, blanket and a Fern vid to chill out with. Sorry to hear your heads been sucking again, I hope you managed to get some peace on your break. Give Olive a squish for me and congrats on the 90k x 🧡
We noticed. It became a daily conversation with my BF, "fern still hasn't posted 😣, hope she's okay". SO happy to get the notification of a 59-minute video. Take care of yourself, number one! It's okay to not be okay, and take a break. and... congratulations on 90k!
I had noticed you were gone. I hope you’re feeling better and are getting the resources you need to work on your mental health. Please know you’re not alone! Hugs
I’ve been meaning to share how you inspired me to try out some “wet stick” propagating. I can finally report that it was a success! I have a beautiful Etta Rose Aglaonema that has a few, very leggy “branches”. I decided to experiment by cutting one up and now I have 5 new (tiny) plants! I have to admit that it took months to get them to root, but they did AND they each grew a leaf! Thank you again for sharing your world with us!!!
Congrats on 90K! 🥳 sorry to hear about your mental health, and glad to hear you took the time you needed to take care of you. Happy to see you back! Ps your hair is so cute at this length!!
Hope you feel better, your videos help me relax and decompress when I struggle with my mental health 💚 please take all the time you need and never feel sorry for it!
I saw someone mentioned to have constant airflow on the v. adansonii. They said if the leaves touch they tend to brown. So try having it near the fan in your milsbo cabinet
A few things as I'm still watching this. One, I definitely noticed you were gone and sent you lots of love and good vibes. But didn't wanna bother you. As someone with mental health I didn't wanna add pressure for you to post or even respond. Two I'm glad you're back and most importantly feeling better Three I wish it didn't cost so much to ship from the US to Canada cause you're always needing pots and I have way too many 🤣🤣🤣 Give olive some love and take care of you!
Hey Fern! I’ve noticed that my variegated adansonii browns when the humidity is too high. I had mine originally in a cabinet and when I removed it and put it in normal room humidity, it stopped browning! Also as a planty community member who also struggles with mental health, I’m so glad I’m not alone when it comes to taking time for me and stepping back from plants for a little bit. 💛💛💛
Hi Fern, I missed your weekly video. Self care is so important, glad you’re back. I recently found a Piper plant on a moss pole in Canadian tire 🤗 I love this plant plus my dog is named Piper. Can you show how you care for yours? Your string of plants are really looking good. Take care Fern 🥰
Yay, such a great and long video! :D For requesting content: I would love to see a chill vibe plant day, like, chill music with you going to buy your supplies, mixing the soil, watering some plants, cleaning some leafs or whatever :D And repots and different plant chores, are always fun! And maybe a part 2 of the reacting to our plants video :D Love you!
I never comment on YT, but felt like I had to. This year has been SO rough on my metal health, and I’ve been hearing the same from everyone. Don’t know if that helps, but you’re definitely not alone! Congrats on 90K! Your channel has my favorite planty content and I love watch while doing my own plant chores so I feel like I’m doing them with someone else. 😂
Glad you are feeling better and good for you to recognize that you needed some time away. I think I will take a peek at my string ofs and see how their roots are doing.
of course we noticed you were gone girl!! honestly my day doesn’t seem complete without watching you before sleep haha! i’m glad you’re doing ok tho, hope you get better and better! sending love from brazil 💚
Regarding your variegated adansonii. I think giving her less light is a good idea. I have mine in pon, on a shelf in about 60% humidity, under some inexpensive grow lights of amazon and she's doing fabulous 😊My adansonii Archipelago ghost is in same conditions and no brown crispy edges either 👻😊
Thank you for be brave and sharing that you have been struggling with your mental health. And you are most certainly right, taking care of you is absolutely ok. Actually, it’s more than ok. You help inspire others to feel comfortable with taking care of their own mental health. You are such a wonderful person and please know that I fully support you and your journey, and of course, all your plants! 💗💗💗
I'm so glad u took time for yourself to get yourself healthy and happy 💕 u were very much missed and I'm sure most of us noticed u were gone, I definitely did. But I'm so happy to see u r doing well and glad u know it's important to put your physical and mental health first, and everything else comes after that. So please don't ever feel bad or unsure about taking a break and putting yourself first☺️ sending lots of love and healing vibes your way! 💖 So glad to see u back! And congratulations 🎉 on 90,000+ subscribers!!! 🎉🥳
We definitely missed you Fern! Don't push yourself too hard while you get back to your normal routine, we will be here supporting! And congratulations on 90K! That's so exciting
All the healing vibes we noticed and we missed you!! 💚💚 congratulations on 90 K 🥳🥳 I was so excited to see a 59 minute video I enjoyed it so much. Told my fiancé don’t you dare click wildfern 59 minute video I’m saving that for some plant time lmao 😂
Hi Fern! So glad you are back, I've missed your videos. Congratulations for hitting 90K! Hope you feel better soon and take care of yourself even if we miss your videos, we'll still be here 🙂
I’m glad you set aside time for yourself to recoup because mental health days are just as important as sick days❤️ don’t be hard on yourself sending good vibes your way 🦋 glad to have you back!!
Fernnn I’m sooo glad u are back😭. A break is always needed no matter the circumstances. I have missed you a lot and am excited for more amazing content to come 💞 Also I am so impatient and have to ask, is the summer plant tour in the near future?🤗🪴 xx
I’ve heard you talk about your Lynda Dawn begonia and was wondering if it was mislabeled. Look up begonia Benito, that’s what it looks like to me. I collect a lot of cane type begonias. Good to see you back.
Glad your feeling better, we all.need some time every now and then. I did notice you hadn't put a video out but that's fine, I struggle getting content out but feel so accomplished when I do. A huge congratulations on you 90K accomplishment 👏 💚💚💚
Your liearas is gorgeous and long!! I got a new bushy one and my wishlist Tortum is arriving today!! My oldest son bought it for my birthday!! I can’t wait!!!! That plant..💚💚💚
If your reading this and you watched this video plz give it a like it helps her out so much
Welcome back, Fern! Hope you’re feeling a bit better 💚 We missed you!!

Welcome back, Fern! Although we missed you, I’m so glad you took the initiative to take care of you when you need it.

Ahh that is so amazing to hear! Really glad your wet stick prop went well :) You're so welcome, thanks for watching x
Congrats on 90K! 🥳 sorry to hear about your mental health, and glad to hear you took the time you needed to take care of you. Happy to see you back!
Ps your hair is so cute at this length!!
So glad to see your face again! Glad you took a little time to take care of yourself! You were definitely missed! 🤗
Hope you feel better, your videos help me relax and decompress when I struggle with my mental health 💚 please take all the time you need and never feel sorry for it!
Loved the ‘chill video’ and so glad to see you’re back! Hope you’re ok 💜 and loved (as usual) the olive appearance 🥰
I saw someone mentioned to have constant airflow on the v. adansonii. They said if the leaves touch they tend to brown. So try having it near the fan in your milsbo cabinet
A few things as I'm still watching this.
One, I definitely noticed you were gone and sent you lots of love and good vibes. But didn't wanna bother you. As someone with mental health I didn't wanna add pressure for you to post or even respond.
Two I'm glad you're back and most importantly feeling better
Three I wish it didn't cost so much to ship from the US to Canada cause you're always needing pots and I have way too many 🤣🤣🤣
Give olive some love and take care of you!
Omg I was low key getting worried 😅
sorry!! all is well ☺️
I get so excited every time I remember you are growing a Serpens! I'm such a fan-girl for that dang plant 💚
Hey Fern! I’ve noticed that my variegated adansonii browns when the humidity is too high. I had mine originally in a cabinet and when I removed it and put it in normal room humidity, it stopped browning!
Also as a planty community member who also struggles with mental health, I’m so glad I’m not alone when it comes to taking time for me and stepping back from plants for a little bit. 💛💛💛
Hi Fern, I missed your weekly video. Self care is so important, glad you’re back. I recently found a Piper plant on a moss pole in Canadian tire 🤗 I love this plant plus my dog is named Piper. Can you show how you care for yours? Your string of plants are really looking good. Take care Fern 🥰
Yay, such a great and long video! :D
For requesting content: I would love to see a chill vibe plant day, like, chill music with you going to buy your supplies, mixing the soil, watering some plants, cleaning some leafs or whatever :D And repots and different plant chores, are always fun! And maybe a part 2 of the reacting to our plants video :D Love you!
I never comment on YT, but felt like I had to. This year has been SO rough on my metal health, and I’ve been hearing the same from everyone. Don’t know if that helps, but you’re definitely not alone!
Congrats on 90K! Your channel has my favorite planty content and I love watch while doing my own plant chores so I feel like I’m doing them with someone else. 😂
We enjoy your videos when *you* enjoy your videos. Thanks for being honest, we are all struggling. 💚 thanks for coming back, I missed you
WE MISSED YOU SO MUCH!
Welcome back, beautiful!
awww thank you!!! 🖤
Glad you are feeling better and good for you to recognize that you needed some time away. I think I will take a peek at my string ofs and see how their roots are doing.
of course we noticed you were gone girl!! honestly my day doesn’t seem complete without watching you before sleep haha! i’m glad you’re doing ok tho, hope you get better and better! sending love from brazil 💚
Your videos are really therapeutic to listen to sometimes.
I hope you are feeling better 💚🌻
Regarding your variegated adansonii. I think giving her less light is a good idea. I have mine in pon, on a shelf in about 60% humidity, under some inexpensive grow lights of amazon and she's doing fabulous 😊My adansonii Archipelago ghost is in same conditions and no brown crispy edges either 👻😊
Thank you for be brave and sharing that you have been struggling with your mental health. And you are most certainly right, taking care of you is absolutely ok. Actually, it’s more than ok. You help inspire others to feel comfortable with taking care of their own mental health. You are such a wonderful person and please know that I fully support you and your journey, and of course, all your plants! 💗💗💗
So glad your back and feeling better!
I would love to see another spilling your tea video. That was so funny and seamed like a chill video

yes it is coming super soon! I was supposed to film it last week and post this week, but now I'm a bit behind. but soon lol it's on my list!
I’ve heard you talk about your Lynda Dawn begonia and was wondering if it was mislabeled. Look up begonia Benito, that’s what it looks like to me. I collect a lot of cane type begonias. Good to see you back.
