I feel like Wildfern is going to watch this and drool, haha. I know this is one of her wishlist plants! And rightfully so. It's gorgeous!
I already sent her my IG post about this plant lol. I think we will be doing some sort of plant trade and doing a video about it!
@@EverythingPlants Yesss! That is super exciting! Can't wait for that video.
I have one of these and she’s doing AMAZING and is literally one of the easiest plants I’ve ever owned! Also when I first got this we were at a tulip festival and they were selling plants so I got it but it was suuuper windy and all of the branches broke a little but not completely and within a week it had repaired itself somehow and mended the leaves back together!
Love this plant 🪴 it is one of my favorites that I have and grows quickly from cuttings . Great video 💙✌
Thanks Suzettte!
Love your all purpose tool! The yellow pencil. Ha!
✏️ It's the best garden tool! 🤣
I am so glad to find you again. I thought I lost you. I have been looking for your channel. I just could not remember the its name. Now I feel much better. I must tell you ever since I watched your video on the jade plants. I have been hoping mine would grow like yours.
Hey Clara! I'm so glad you were able to find the channel again. I hope you stick around for more video!
@@EverythingPlants I will, thanks
Such a detailed video! Thank you!
Wow this video is just in time mine has been growing really small leaves.
Give it time. I hope this video helped you with your plant.
I've been considering plants to mount on wood and hang on the wall, like the stag horn fern, orchids, bromeliads etc. Now I have another one to consider! That would look so cool hanging above my fireplace 🌿
It would look awesome!!!
I really enjoyed your video. I just bought one last week ...I love it!! 😍💚
Wonderful! They are so beautiful. Thanks for watching Carmel.
I got a long strand cutting for free with a purchase at my local plant nursery and I didn't know what it was...lol! So, I cut it up and stuck it in soil. I lost 3 cuttings but 3 survived...YAY! I used chunky soil mix and it seems to LUV it...🌹💃🌿😍 I can't wait til mine looks like yours! 💝
That is pretty cool you got a free cutting!!!
I really love my epiphytes cactus. I have at least 7 types. I keep them together and they are so happy : your care instructions are accurate. They also prefer cooler nights but warmer days. I am dreaming of the day (night) the blooms happen.
Thanks so much Kathryn 👋 I can't wait for the blooms either
Bet you were fuming when that happened😂 Lovely looking plant.
When I killed the first one? Ya, I wasn't too happy 🤣
Pro-tip: for fertilizer, I find epiphytic cacti like a little more nitrogen than 2-7-7. I've found tomato fertilizer to work really well (ratio of roughly 2-1-3 ratio. e.g 7-4-10 or 10-5-15). Nice plant btw!
Thanks Justin....I never really understood why the nitrogen is lower for cactus/succulents. I have the foliage pro 9-3-6 which I'll use next time. 👍
Epiphytes do well with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season, 10-10-10, then switch to a 0-10-10 just before the blooming season. Water very sparingly in winter. They love very bright indirect or filtered light and frost will kill them. They thrive in moist, well draining acidic soil.
Several Cactus Growers, including Lynn from desert plants if Avalon highly recommend a basic tomato fertilizer. Organic or inorganic. Not an expert but I love jungle cactus. Another CZcams Channel that I would highly recommend is simply called epiphytic based in Wisconsin! I got a Fernleaf cactus in November and it's finally starting to put out new growth. I put all of mine outside in shade / dappled/ Setting Sun during the summer and they grow quite quickly!
Interesting....I'll have to look into that tomato fertilizer and those channels! Thanks so much!
My wish list just got longer. I like this one a lot! Thanks for all the info.
Sorry, not sorry! 🤣
@@EverythingPlants Cheeky! can you try rooting in pearlite next time instead of your soil mix? It's my favorite rooting medium.
Very informative video once again! Wanted to mention another way to recognize if you have scale on your plant is you will see a sticky substance around the surface that the plant is sitting on. It’s the only bug I have had on some of my plants. It will spread easily so check other plants surrounding the infected one and isolate!
Yes, thanks for this!
One of my favorites. Mine is currently 5x4 feet wide, and in a 16in pot!
Oh sweet. Any care tips that you have?
I think you got all the big tips!
ooohhh... I am on the look out for this... hopping to find one soon :)
I hope you find one!!!
I would love a queen of the night video!!
Until I got into orchids, scale was only a pest I read about in books. I have only once seen it on any other plant--a ZZ Plant given to me as a premium on a fairly large purchase. I'd had it for quite a time before they reared their ugly heads. What you describe for treating it is good, but I would also add spray with End All or similar product after going over the plant as you describe. What you describe will get rid of the adults, but the young scale insect is a little more mobile, and tiny, hence the need for a little follow-up. Keep on with your informative videos!
Thanks Rob for the extra information. I had scale once on a Ming Aralia. Another viewer commented about the sticky sap they produce and that was the thing I first noticed, but forgot to mention in the video.
Absolutely love this plant! Your soil mix looks like what I use for epiphytes. My plants love the humid summers outside. Definitely not full sun bright light and some shade. I plant mine in slotted plastic orchid pots they add air flow to the roots.
Any different care tips that you would suggest or disagree with?
@@EverythingPlants No very good video!
That is beautiful
Thanks Diana!
Very pretty.
Thanks Karen 👋
I'm hoping to find one of these beauties this year.
I hope you do, because they are so worth it.
Eeeeeeeeee! I’ve been waiting for this! Thank you
Awesome! Let me know what you thought of the video!
Great information! I’m thinking of getting one.
I highly recommend it
Wow that's a really interesting plant. I've never seen this one before. Would the care be similar or same for a ric rack cactus? Thanks for the tutorial. Always enjoy your videos.
I don't have the ric rac, but they are similar plants so I'll assume the care would be the same!
Thank you 😃
Thanks for watching!
I bought a fishbone cactus thinking it was a Fern leaf cactus and so now I will have both when I finally get the right one! 😄🍀🪴🌷
They are such cool plants and I hope you get the correct one soon!
Wow🌱🌱🌼🌺🌸🙏🙏
I know, right?!?! Do you have one?
I have had one for 30 years now. I’ve made many small pots from cuttings. It’s never bloomed.
Hey Joe. This one has not bloomed for me yet either, but I do have a queen of the night cactus which gets much more light. I've only had it for a bit more then a year and I have what looks like two smaller flower buds popping through! Maybe try some higher light
I'm here because I love this plant and I've killed 2 and cant understand what I've done wrong because I really want to try again. Mine have always gotten black soft spots on them or black crispy spots ...
What is your watering routine? Do you let it get dry?
Bonjour j aimerais avoir cette plante que tu montre merci bonne nuit marie
YOURS L👀KS G💚💚D...MINE Would Be The Opposite Of Yours!!! I'm Going To Be Working On Mine Today... Looks Like Doing Some Snipping Will Be Involved In The Rehabilitation Plan For Mine!!! See You Next Video E.P.!!!
What do you think is wrong with yours?
@@EverythingPlants czcams.com/video/nbUaYb3_vgI/video.html
What is that leather looking bag you have your dirt mix in? Can you provide a king where you got that?
It's a repotting mat that I bought off Amazon a few years ago. I'll check later if I can find the link for you
💚💚
Thanks Kendra!
I have a massive fern leaf I bought already massive ... pushing out new growth all over the place (hooray!) but i don't have the new growth on a support like the main plant (back support) - the new leaves are much smaller ... do the leaves grow bigger over time or do they only grow larger if they are on a support like some of my philodendrons? the new leaves are an inch or two only while the leaves on the original plant are 5 to 6 inches!
Mine start out thinner then grow larger over time....at least this is my experience so far
@@EverythingPlants cool - that helps, I'll be patient then! 😁 "grow leaves, grow!"
I would love to get a piece of this plant I can buy it from you if it's okay please let me know have a blessed evening❤❤
There are some mealy bugs on leaves.
I bought it twice and twice they died. I think I was giving it too much sunlight.
That was my issue the first time too. I hope the video helped you with the care of this gorgeous plant!
I can never do just 7 drops 🤣
Do you mistakenly put in 8? 🤣
@@EverythingPlants or 10 or 12 😂
Me perturba que al principio toque una y otra y otra vez la misma parte del cactus, la misma hoja, la vuelve a tocar la misma hoja...es desesperante!!!🤯
