If you haven't cut the broken leaf on your painted lady... I've had success in giving a broken leaf a "cast" if it's not too damaged. I use whatever tape I have on hand (painters, scotch, masking, electrical - nothing too sticky). I very gently hold the leaf in place and wrap the tape around the broken stem. I leave it on for a couple months before checking just to be sure. It doesn't always work but I've had a few leaves reattach themselves! :)
Agree with you! Painted Lady are sooo freaking beautiful variegation. The leaves color is will react based on how much light they received. Mine is so freaking beautiful.
The broken leaf might be still fixable. If you cut a straw length-wise and pop it on the broken leaf, so it holds the broken parts together, it might seal up. I've seen it in a video and tried it one time (spoiler: it worked!), but I cannot for the life of me find it now. It's worth a shot...
If you get some slim pvc pipe from a diy shop and use that as your moss pole 'inside' you can leave some pvc exposed to sit inside the pot, then wrap the rest in moss and mesh. It saves on using as much moss and mesh and makes the pole more sturdy. Plus where I'm from, it costs £3 for a loooong piece of pvc that makes several poles
My absolute favourite pole type to grow plants up are fern wood poles & favourite propagation & growing medium is fern fibre (add it to your soil mix or just use alone). It’s truely like sphagnum on crack. If you ever come across it please try it! Don’t know what availability is like outside of New Zealand but I highly recommend it if you can buy it 🤞
@@neekoko4962 It’s really just that root growth is unmatched in fern fibre. Also fern fibre is much easier to remove from roots although I typically just plant the prop that was rooting in fern fibre into soil without removing it as plants thrive in it :)
I've been using moss stakes a lot in my indoor gardening and my plants looooove it. My large Mameii refused to push out a new leaf until I put a moss pole in. Then it grew two leaves in a month.
I found the zap straps portion of the video oddly satisfying lol. I have moved away from moss poles because I never seem to water them enough and now use cedar stakes but still love the look of moss poles
The roots attach themselves to clay pots which is why they stick when trying to remove them. I’d suggest using the chopstick to loosen the roots and soil from the edges of the pot before trying to push it out and it should loosen up enough to pull gently out after that.
Fern, try what i do? My valcro fits in the wire squares so i only have to use a tiny bit and i find it easier to tie awkward plants up doing it this way :)
Omgggg!! So excited for another video, have been checking every day to see if you’ve posted!! An hour long video with Fern and plants is just what I need 🥰🌿
You are inspiring me to do moss poles! I tried them but I just bought some cheap ones but the self watering moss pole for my monstera sounds amazing Maybe even my rhaphidophora but I’m budgeting and about to garden so this will be a late summer/fall endeavor
I legit sent this video to my parents like "look at her description, this is my xmas list. Especially the holographic potting mat." Really enjoyed the moss pole assembly instructions!! I had found it daunting and it seems very doable now :)
You posting this motivated me to finally repot my unruly adansonii!! I’ve been working on perfecting my moss pole-making and I’ve learned a lot from your videos!
Pine and Sprout! I just got a couple of her trellises too including a cute bat one! Love the moss poles. Watching you make a few has given me confidence to try my own diy poles.
Ennoyed potting up some plants watching another great video from you chicky !! I love those black trellises with the moon phases and the third eye I seen them online too I'll have to check that shop out and your friends site too !! Have a great rest of the week Fern & Olive Xo 💚🌿🌱
Good relaxing video. I particularly like the moon trellis. Almost a shame that it will be hidden as the plant grows. A couple of thoughts. I usually put a couple of layers of newspaper in the bottom of my pots to keep the soil in. I'm surprised as how many people don't use anything there. On the DIY moss poles. In line with your concern about keeping the moss out of the soil with the self watering poles to prevent root rot, I usually don't put any moss in one end of the pole but rather fill it with my potting medium.
I got a long/big Skindapsus pictus for 19,63$ ugh and I'm telling you there were other plants in the discount corner I wanted to bring home😭!!! But I now got 3 pots with alot of cuttings from the Skindapsus, I could say it was an absolute win tho 😋
As always, I love this video! So glad you're feeling better :-) I too have found that the self-watering moss poles are way better and easier to use, just have to figure out how to make them myself so they're a little less expensive haha!
The only plant I have that likes the coco coir poles I have is my adonsonii. Loves it. Areal roots are so long and there are so many of them. All attached to the coco coir
Hi Fern. Loved the video. And was impressed and liked your potting mix. Is it one you mixed yourself or is it already sold like that? Watching your video makes me want to add trellises to my some of Hoya’s. But I should propagate them to make the pot fuller and to encourage new growth. But I have never propagated a Hoya. Your plants are beautiful and I love your new place.
I made the mix myself :) it is: coco coir, orchid bark, perlite, pumice, and a tiny bit of sphagnum! If your Hoya's are vining and you put the vine around a trellis it will encourage growth too. Thanks so much for watching x
As you hate the coco coir ones so much, you could remove the coco coir and reuse the stake with the sphagnum and mesh. Love the phases of the moon stake you have, think my scindapsus moonshine would suit one.
- I'm not sure if you've already trimmed off that leaf from the Ph. "Painted Lady", but if you haven't... how is it doing? I've encountered a similar issue too, both with bent/damaged leaves and with ones that were ok but needed more stability so they didn't bend (like Monstera leaves with a long petiole). Sometimes I make a kind of "band-aid" for it, and it helps. That might be tape (applied loosely or in a way that it doesn't stick on the plant), twist ties (they have rolls in black that match the moss pole material you have), or some of the velcro "tape" like you have. If you took the velcro tape and put it around that leaf's petiole and the moss pole, it would act as a splint. It might allow it to self-heal, or at least allow it to stay on and be a healthy leaf with a little assistance. (If that makes any sense.) - THANK YOU for giving me more motivation to make moss poles for my plants. I got the exact same material (after returning squared chicken wire I'd bought) after seeing you use it awhile back, but I still haven't made one yet. X_X - I said this in the other video, but I love those trellises. I'm going to look for the moon phase one in white. 😍🖤
Hey! I ended up using tape to create a splint for the leaf, and it's doing well. No yellowing. I think it did slow down growth on the new leaf coming out, but overall the plant isn't doing bad. I'm really hoping it's repairing itself and I can remove the tape one day, not sure how long it takes though...
@@wildfern Oh cool! In my experience, I think I left the tape on for quite awhile (in all splinting instances like this) before I removed it even just to check its repair status. I hope the plant will continue growing well and that that leaf does heal itself so you can remove the tape splint. You're a great plant parent. You'll know when it's the right time. 🪴🖤
I hope you haven't cut off the leave off of the painted lady. You can just tape it to make it stronger and look normal, it won't die off, as it's still attached to the plant! :)
LOVE THIS VIDEO! Planty kids are so happy and beautiful! 😍🤩! I LOVE YOUR DIY MOSS POLES! 💖🤩🤩😘! MY OLD LADY LOVESS YOUR POLE!👍😁💓. For as long as I can remember, she was on a cedar plank. My Mom just kept winding her around and around and bitching that she had no idea WTH to do anymore. The plant was given to my parents by Daddy's father as an engagement gift. ( I never met him , as he passed away before I was born). I always knew her as Gramma or the old lady. It was said to be a Sweet heart Philodendron. As a child, I remember my Mom hating the long aerial roots. She would cut them. It was basically heart shaped leaves, 5-6 inches in size. My Mom hated that plant!!!!!!! I always cleaned her leaves as it was all that I had of my Dad's father. One day,I came home from school and the Old Lady was gone!!! Mom threw it over the back hill. Daddy was at work as a police officer. I called the station and he came home.😍💕. He and his partner went down the back hill to save the Old Lady. Mom said that she was ugly, (many naked vines). My first job @15 was at a greenhouse. The owner( 91 when she passed) reported the Old Lady. She said, Sweetheart Philodendron, 50 years ago. OL lived, Mom passed and Old Lady even lived after Daddy passed!!!😱. Once I got her, she was a mess. My gf said to chop and prop, that was before I knew anything, so I did. She is happy now on one of your poles. A 50+ cultivar of the so called sweetheart Philodendron. So happy that you are feeling better! How is Olive? Thank you for pole video and all vids! LIVE YOU!💖🤩🤩🤩

I have had luck doing this as well
omg! going to do this right now - thank you 🙏
I don't understand why more people don't talk about the painted lady, it's just so stunning and rewarding! It it one of my favourites as well!
right!!! so underrated
Agree with you! Painted Lady are sooo freaking beautiful variegation. The leaves color is will react based on how much light they received. Mine is so freaking beautiful.
She has just been added to my wishlist...Maybe to the TOP of it. I haven't seen one before She is gorgeous!
@@katherinenightingale2205 You won't regret it!
Why do people go out of their way to "dislike" videos like this? Seems toxic...
I live for these videos :)
You know we love us some long ass wild fern vids. That gigas looks so happy! 🖤🖤🖤
Hahah! Yes I really can't wait to see some growth on it :)
The broken leaf might be still fixable. If you cut a straw length-wise and pop it on the broken leaf, so it holds the broken parts together, it might seal up. I've seen it in a video and tried it one time (spoiler: it worked!), but I cannot for the life of me find it now. It's worth a shot...
I’ve also used honey and a bandaid and it worked as well 😊.

Second on fern pole.
oh cool! I haven't seen or heard of that before, but I will keep my eye out :)
live in the us and i’ve never heard of that!
Can I ask why you prefer tree fern over sphagnum? Does it retain moisture better?

Staaaay hydrated, Fern. Love you so much. Always take care of yourself, honey. 🖤

YES, THANKS FOR THE BONUS FOOTAGE😍😍😍
Yess, I love your moss pole/trellis videos! Thank you for the great planty content!!
Glad you like them! you're welcome 🥰
I want a Florida beauty so bad! Painted lady is beautiful too!
Had me rolling when the plant came shooting out lol
😆 every time!!
Loving the videos. This was calming to watch.
-giggles when she says “girth”
That’s classic! 🤣🤣
The rain is falling, I’m getting cozy- best time ever to watch Fern 🌿✨
The roots attach themselves to clay pots which is why they stick when trying to remove them. I’d suggest using the chopstick to loosen the roots and soil from the edges of the pot before trying to push it out and it should loosen up enough to pull gently out after that.
At least the Painted Lady leaf broke where it did and you still have the leaf with the active growth. You lucked out! Great video! 😊
That's very true! Thank you 😃
Thank you so much for the inspiration. It’s 3:20 am 😮, but I’m going downstairs to make my first moss pole for my monstera.
Ahhh yesss 👏 your Monstera will love it!
Amazing video, as always :) Do I spot a new cabinet in the background ? 🕵
hahah! I'm surprised this is the only comment about it - good eye!
Yay for chop sticks!! 🙌🏽😍🥢I've had so many plants supported by some trusty chop sticks until I knew what they needed.
Yes they work so well for smaller plants! Super handy 😃
Was a perfect video to play in the background while i repotted my 16 spider plants XD
ah hahah you got the whole spider plant fam going on over there!
Yay was looking for a new video to watch while I clean haha 💚
perfect!!! enjoy 🥰
Can we get an update on the self watering pots? :)
yes!! I will include that in an upcoming video :)
Fern, try what i do? My valcro fits in the wire squares so i only have to use a tiny bit and i find it easier to tie awkward plants up doing it this way :)
I love your moss poles. Genius!! The Brazile is so beautiful. I remember when you started that. It is looking amazing
Thank you 😃😃
I would add some bamboo stakes when I wrapped up the pole to stick out the bottom so you wouldn’t have to repot the plant
The noise when you moved the moss along the pole was the worrrrst!! 😩😂
lmaoooo
OMG I didn’t know I needed cute trellises until now 🥺
Omgggg!! So excited for another video, have been checking every day to see if you’ve posted!! An hour long video with Fern and plants is just what I need 🥰🌿
Awww thank you for watching 🥺🖤
You are inspiring me to do moss poles! I tried them but I just bought some cheap ones but the self watering moss pole for my monstera sounds amazing Maybe even my rhaphidophora but I’m budgeting and about to garden so this will be a late summer/fall endeavor
I love how those moss poles have like a foot at the bottom! I’ve never seen one like that before, that’s such a good way to hold them in place!
Yeah they are so much more sturdy!
I really enjoy these kind of videos, all planty.
I legit sent this video to my parents like "look at her description, this is my xmas list. Especially the holographic potting mat." Really enjoyed the moss pole assembly instructions!! I had found it daunting and it seems very doable now :)
awww I hope you get some awesome planty items for Christmas!! so glad the video was helpful too x
I have alot of success taping leaves or stems . I just use clear tape to give it extra support and they heal back together.
47:01 that leaf you touch on the brazil OMG I love it!!!
Thanks for sharing... all of your plants are looking great and your new apartment looks so cozy 😁
So good to see you & that you are feeling better!! ☮️💟🪴
thank you ❤️
I like the moss poles that you make yourself. They look good.
Sending so much love from Portland!!! You are amazing, Fern 🌿❤️🌿❤️🌿
Ahhh thanks friend 🥰🥰🥰
The sped up portion of you making the moss pole was so incredibly satisfying 😂
You posting this motivated me to finally repot my unruly adansonii!! I’ve been working on perfecting my moss pole-making and I’ve learned a lot from your videos!
Happy to hear you are feeling better. Love the ghost pot😊
Thank you! 😊
I absolutely love your shirt 😍
You have the exact same voice as zoey Deschanel, love your work
fern, you cracked me up when the plant flew out of the pot😭😂! all of them are gorgeous! can’t wait to see an update!
And I will be ordering those trellises ASAP😄
They're so cute 😩
The thing I really like about the Trofolia poles is that base. You do have to repot. But the trade off is a more stable pole.
In love with your videos. I've being using moss poles since I saw your adansonii. Ly fern
Ah I miss my adansonii! Thanks so much for watching 🥰
Thanks for the inspo! Gonna go find some sticks to prop some lil guys up with now!
haha yessss!
Yaaaas perfect timing! Needing to stake the Dishidia Ovata.. Thank you!!
yassss get er done! 👏
I like the different poles/trellis
I am definitely going to buy some of those self watering poles, those trellis are so cute. So glad you are feeling better.
thank you Rhonda, I'm glad too! and yes these poles rock 😃
Omg ! I bought that moon phase trellis for my Hoya obovata at pine and sprout ! I love it !!❤️ thanks for recommending them!
Love it. The entire video. I get really stressed potting and repotting. Your video was relaxing. So I did, learned and relaxed. 😁🌱❤🌱❤
Btw. I never realized how just absolutely gorgeous is the Painted Lady 🌱❤🌱
Good job with your Gigas 🙌 Great to see you in better spirits 🥰🪴🤍
Thank you 🤗❤️
U have some amazing plants i ordered my painted kady yesterday an cant wait to get her
Tomorrow I’m getting a pink princess philodendron off market place. This has been on my plant list for a while ☺️
Pine and Sprout! I just got a couple of her trellises too including a cute bat one! Love the moss poles. Watching you make a few has given me confidence to try my own diy poles.
Ahhh I saw the bat one on there too!! So cute, I wanted to get it too but had to put myself on a limit haha

Wow this is super long! Yay! Tnanku for the video fern 🥰
You’re welcome 😊
Great video 💚. I’m totally going to get a self watering moss pole for my monstera now.
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
love your videos always a good vibe.
Love ❤️ Love the moon trellis.. and the eye as well!! Too cool!!
Aren't they so cute! Love them
@@wildfern I have a brass “chain” of the moon 🌙 cycle.. ❤️
Love your videos. Just ordered some poles and plant velcro so I can stake my first plant.
Beautiful plants! I hope yoyou are feeling r
Philo. gigas is one of my fadorite plante. They love to climbe the Pole too!!

But I now got 3 pots with alot of cuttings from the Skindapsus, I could say it was an absolute win tho 😋
I am soo glad you did a video showing these watering moss poles. I went on their websites to order a few, but I was unsure of the sizes.
Glad it was helpful!! 🖤
Love your layered shirts xxoo

Oh this is such a good idea!! I think I will do that. And yes that scindapsus would be so perfect on the moon trellis 🤩
Love your content so much !!! Thank you for sharing your amazing collection and talents. And thank you for being so compassionate towards animals 🌱🌱🌱🌱

Do you still love these trellises? I actually have them in my cart on Etsy right now lol. What size do you have? I’m excited to try them! 💚

When inserting a Moss Pole do the vines compete for Pole space?
Hey Hillary if you're watching
Hey Fern
Whats your thoughts on sealing and then painting terracotta pots for indoor plant babies to live in?
I've had a few in sealed/painted terracotta and they've done great!
@@wildfern thank you I wS concerned the paint may affect the plant or the water flow
❤️
Great video!! Cannot find a link to the little trellises? Help! I love them, too!
pineandsprout.com :)
Do you repot in the winter? How do you feel about it personally?
Yes I repot all year round :) I have never had any problems with it honestly. Just don’t pot in too big of a pot, and be cautious not to over water!
Is there more types of syngoniums? Because i have 2 and theyre not climbing plants. Im so confused 😆
Push tacks and string on that board if it doesn't stick
Well now a want a painted lady lol
