    Yes please make a grow light video! I only have a cheap Amazon one and have been wanting to get a better one, but I don't know which one to get! My poor plants suffer during the dark Canadian winter 😂

    • @mindfulmadeline
      @mindfulmadeline 6 месяцев назад +2

      Those cheap amazon ones aren’t bad at all, just not really aesthetically pleasing lol. The barrina’s work very well in my opinion, and they are not expensive compared to mother or soltech. But if you want the best, it’s soltech all the way. They are super expensive, but a wonderful investment for your plants!

    • @VeryKinkyCurl

      Barrina and Sansi, imo.

      Ou the barina ones just went back in stock on Amazon. They're taller than the 32" Mother grow lights and are kinda like them. They stand up in a similar way and are very bright. But are so much cheaper

    Hi Fern! I think the whole internet is still mourning that you don’t have your big Silver Sword 😭 I was wondering if you were going to regret not having that one now that you’re in your new home. That could be a good video to do btw! Plants you regret no longer having now that you’re in your new space 😊
    The shelf set up looks amazing!! So many fun updates in this video. I’m so happy your streptocarpus survived the thrips 💚

    This is so inspirational. Taking on a task like that is sometimes daunting but you went for it! And when you're done, there's such a sense of satisfaction. I've been itching to totally rearrange my plant room and I feel like winter is the perfect time to take on these tasks.

    I’ve been watching you for a few months now
    Loveeee the page
    As k was watching this video I noticed how many times you shielded your face from the sun. Which sparked me to wonder if you moved because I think I remember you saying you didn’t get much light in your apartment when I first started watching you
    If you did move and the sun is shining so much more for your planty babies I’m very happy for you all

    Instead of the hook widen the light itself. Spread out the light. Rearrange that shelf to allow the lihh g t to reach the shorter plants. Maybe put them in the middle with the taller plants on the sides.

      @kristiemowry3267 6 месяцев назад

      I confirm that they don't root easily into moss poles. Mine finally has after 2 years. I even put her in a greenhouse twice over the summer. Not sure if that did it, but it finally has those larger leaves with lobes and is growing new leaves quickly. The stem really increased in size suddenly at the location of all the growth and larger leaves. I believe that means it finally attached to the pole. I have about 18" and will need to chop it. Hopefully that won't put it back to much. Thanks for listening to my rant though I am not Fern.

    When you start plants over with a cutting, what do you do with the rest of the plant? I always struggle with that!

    I love the light over your shelf. Is the illumination wide spread or just covers a small area? I'm trying to up my light game.
