  1. so close to 100k! your videos are so calming and relaxing. love the vibe! after I seen your videos about cebu blue and silver sword…finally convinced myself to order some. can't wait to get see them in person! ❤

  2. “Bring on the weird little hairs on the tip” 💀 No one clip that outta context… lmao

  3. I have the info, that m. adansonii don't produce runners. It's an easy way to differ it from an m. esqueleto (which is also produce runenrs).

  4. I’d suggest getting a different Thai constellation too. Mine is probably my fastest growing plant. Grows like a weed and puts out 1/2 moon and 3/4 moon leaves that don’t even brown. (Though I actually prefer the “constellation” style more green leaves) Sized up so quickly too. Yours is definitely a rogue specimen imo

  5. I have the queen Hoya and love her. I also has Hoya tri-color which I believe is also another name for the princess reverse green & white with pink on some leaves. Still waiting for them to flower but the leaves are lovely. I found your channel a few weeks ago and I am going through your older videos. You are an amazing, lovely young woman and just love your channel. I retired 5 years ago and moved last year and now have the time to take care of my 100+ plants. Keeps me sane.

  6. how do you water large/tall plants? do you keep them in their spot and drain somehow or move to outside?

  7. My krimson princess grows slower than my queen too! I have a large princess hanging in my window, and my krimson queen is inside my cabinet, both are so lovely!

  8. I love the Painted Lady but it has been a bit difficult for me. It’s kind of like your relationship with the Thai and the Albo. Calkin’s Gold is self heading and maintains mottling better over time. Love them both but I’d have to choose CG. (I wouldn’t want a collection without both)

  9. I'm still surprised no one is aware that most of the Monstera adansonii we are growing are not adansonii at all. Collectors try to be very precise for the name of their plants… But not for this one.

  10. I'd love to throw a shout-out to the Philodendron Brasil. I also have one growing up a pole and there is so much beautiful variety in the variegation patterns. I've often thought of planting a little Rio in with my large Brasil, but I've been unsure if they would be happy roommates with similar care and the Rio's price inhibits me from freely experimenting. I agree that the Rio's coloring is more in my taste and the elongated leaf structure is lovely while being just a bit different. But my Brasil, grown from a few cuttings…so a sentimental attachment is expected, has handled neglect, as well as being knocked over this summer by my neighbor's blind dog (sweet baby that she is, my fault of course) and kept thriving and holds her leaves so long in perfect condition, so she is a superstar in my collection.

  11. Got 69686!! It sits in semihydro, in DIY stones. I love it with all my heart and highly recommend it. I live in a Tiny House with a fireplace so the humidity is 40-50%! Greetings from Poland!! ❤❤

  12. Omg you are just inches away from 100k, can you even believe it?? 🥺 So incredibly happy for you, this milestone is so very well deserved 💜
    I initially fell in love with your channel because of how wholesome your energy is and how gentle you are with your plant babies. Now you're my comfort YouTuber and I just have to watch a video of yours every night before bed
    Much love from Edmonton 💕

  13. I have a Thai con and it is so easy. You should definitely get a new one! Also – I have both the krimson queen and princess, and my princess grows wayyyy faster. I got the queen 3 years ago, and it looks relatively the same. Both are so beautiful though, I wouldn't be able to choose a favorite!

  14. I am unsure whether it's the Thai specimen thats the issue. I've heard plenty of people say how slow growing and prone to rot they are. You aren't the only one struggling ❤️

  15. Watching while I do some repotting 😊 bought two plants last night and the lady gave me an extra 6 so I'm so excited 😅

  16. Speaking on the vittarifolium, I've had mine hanging off a shelf in my living room and it's upsized and put up with my neglect! My house humidity is all over the place, it's gone anywhere from 25-95% through the seasons, with the summer around 60% most of the time. I have repotted and propagated it, it always seems to crawl towards the light so I shove the butt towards the back of the pot, let it root along, then chop it once it comes off the front too much again…

  17. Your Florida Ghost is ahhhhmazinggg!!!!! And it's not on a pole and still sizing up (new growth —-WOWWW). Now I want one

  18. I’m definitely team princess! I’m not a pink plant girly so having a plant that’s pink only sometimes is great 😍

  19. OMGGGG. ❤ I’m commenting before watching because this video is a long one and YAYYYY I love it. Thank you so much Fern!

  20. I have both the Hoya queen And princess and mine are opposite you're in size. My princess is much bigger. But I love them both!
    I'd probably still keep my queen over princess if I had to get rid of one

  21. Your vittariifolium always cracks me up. Mine is just long strappy leaves, now as long as my pallidiflorum. I think yours forgot what to do! I have both of mine on a shelf next to each other out in the open and they both pretty much grow at the same rate.

  22. Omg u should should put your adonsonii in your empty wally grow maybe ❤ ☺️

  23. Love the comparisons! Sometimes gotta love both bc of the different variegation each of them have. Super fun!!
