Don't let that Love fern die. It happened to me once...now I can't get a date to save my life :'( sniff....although I didn't have a Love fern as I did have a Love Xbox 360. Once I got the Red Ring of Death...:( Sad face man...sad face.
As a parent of kids who love their goldfish..... you take the love fern out of the pot and put a new one in before the kids come home from school...... ya know?
I remember this love fern like it was yesterday... took a good amount of 1's and 2's next to all day, everyday... no for serious. i used to call it the poop fern cause... ya know... i would poop near it
I'd use green duct tape & tape it upright. Spray the green parts whats left with green paint. Let it dry. Give the whole thing a couple of coats of polyurethane. Or buy another similar plant & call it Love Fern. (even though I don't think that it is a fern).
The poor still packed panther is right, that is no fern. lol I'm pretty sure it's a Corn Plant. Which could explain why it is dying...it feels you don't understand it cause you are calling it a fern.... Yes, your plant is depressed. Unpack the Panther!
get a bigger pot. o.< and maybe some new epic soil to fit in the pot. or place the fern outside. :o or maybe it's sick. idk. ask a planter or something. .-.

@sjefern Thank you! The only point I was trying to make is just because you don't necessarily like his videos anymore (which I don't understand at all), you should be more polite. I'm glad that atleast you understand that you were rude unlike some OTHER jerks... but that's beside the point.
Dude, ive been watching your videos from shortly after you started making them. You are seriously one of the few youtubers who i enjoy watching anymore. You and your beard are rulers of my interbone, no homo.
dude, take it to home depot or something like that, they hire plant ninjas just for people like us. Also, it looks a lot like the one at my house... which is also conveniently in a pot, you think she'd notice if it was suddenly two stories high when she got back?
Same thing happened to me! I did a lot of research about those plants. You may need to repot it--, but be warned! Sometimes these plants die due to a mold that could be detrimental to YOUR health. I got a lung infection that lasted for months because of this.
you must show the fern the love you show to ur wife and it will multiply like rabbits in a garden....or u could just buy a new one and not tell ur wife.
First off that's a mini palm tree you big nut! Transplant that into a bigger pot-- one of those nice ceramic ones, dude-- and put it outdoors. Your strangling the roots. Chop of one -- ONE-- frond and add some Miracle-Gro. Not much. Add some dirt too.
Vanawesome you are awesome and cool and an inspiration to beards everywhere even. I digress, I know not much of plants, not exactly my forte, but people, I know people. From watching your previous videos and seeing the history between you too, no plant, man, or extremely mean spirited panther could tear the bond you guys have : )
Hey Vanawesome, long time no see,...hmm..me thinks Tesa and you been very busy, being in love, married and the drudgery of WORK,...anyways great to see you're O.K.,...lol...you've got a beard and a moustachio,....all ya need is a helmet and a spear and you're a VIKING!!! LOL....just kiddin',...hmm..how to save the Love Fern,...maybe it needs some fertilizer, they sell fertilizer for potted plants that are indoors, maybe thats what it needs,...anyways great to hear from ya and say hi to Tesa! =)
get yourself down to a green house or "nursery" (not the children kind) and pick up some phosphoric acid. that should help. or ask the green house staff what they would recommend. but i think phosphoric acid would help.
Those ferns are pretty hardy, I had several of them in my apartment. My advice would be to water them a little more and get them a little light but no direct sunlight or they will burn. Good luck with Tessa. I met my fiancee because she liked my videos as well = )
I popped on the YT here, had the choice of watching this or the new Duncan Rocks and I chose this first. Fuck that fern, there's your love right there!!!
PS: Make Tessa use her real voice from now on! I'm mad that I've never heard it until now and that she's been speaking in that gay little girly voice that she insists on using.

@numberoneonthestreet - hahhahahhahhahhhahhahhahhahhahha. I can't even come back with a witty reply to this, the perfect comment. Bravo * slow claps *
@vanawesome it doesnt explode its an old house wifes trick for budding stems from strees, if its strong enough to root a limb then it should help revitalize a dying plant, also trying changing out its soil and putting it into a bigger pott so the roots can spread, it looks like a pretty big plant in a tiny vase
@princessmel2030 - I'd suspect that this would be certain death for the LF. No plant survives the amount of steam I produce, whence indulging in a steamy shower.
are you sure thats a fern? it looks like a "corn plant" from ikea... I know because I had one... and all plants from ikea die morbidly terrible deaths
I would say replant it outside of the ikea deathtrap planter pot and give it some cold medicine... maybe some vodka... OR some proper planting soil... OR buy another ikea corn plant? :P
@mgphenom - it was from ikea as mentioned in the comment just below! Good eye sir! But I don't remember what the plant is called. Possible a corn plant, although it's never given me any delicious corn. Stupid Love fern. If you are a corn plant, you're the laziest one ever.
@vanawesome then sir... I would say your course of action is actually quite clear... buy 50 or so of the same looking plants and furnish the whole house with them... when asked for the reasoning for the sudden surplus of "Love Ferns" you need only reply
@ace77man - I know right?! Best purchase I ever made. "Buy a fern of sorts, get a smokin hot lady friend... FOR LIFE!" That's what the sign said under the plant section at ikea. I thought they were just being quirky europeans again, turns out it was true!
@vanawesome No. I'm saying take care of the plant properly, not as a fern. Look it up if you have to. Actually, it reminds me of the "monarchy", they keep a certain amount of ravens at the tower of London and clip their wings so they can't leave because if they leave the monarchy will crumble. It reminded of your plant. Poor thing, so much stress. :(
@Shyaporn - sound advice sir. Very sound. I was hoping that the interbone could tell me at little to no effort on my part. I'll wait to see if that happens first, if not, then I'll take some steps on my own to solve this puzzle.
there's 3 golden rules you have to follow when dealing with love ferns. 1. don't put it in direct sunlight, 2. don't get it wet, and 3. the most important rule of them all is, never, ever, feed it after midnight! i saw it on a movie once. anyway, try it for a couple of months and see how it works out.
@hippysIapper - nicely done with the gremlins reference. I think I'd like a sea of mutated love ferns though, I've always wanted a multitude of relatively harmless foes to slaughter all throughout the evening.
Ok First, ignore the people that are calling it a bamboo plant. It is NOT a bamboo plant. It is a Yucca Elephantipes, or better known as a Yucca Cane. Secondly, how many hours of sun does it get? How bright? How often do you water it? How often do you fertilize it & if so with what? It looks like it's being overwatered, but I need to know these things first. If you're serious about reviving the plant, send me a message on here. I'm a horticultural science girl, so I should be able to help. :)
@DicentraSpectabilis - Bingo! You sound like you know what you're talking about! It's next to a window with the blinds drawn, so, not a whole lot of light gets through, but some does. I water it probably once every two weeks. I let the soil get dry as was recommended before I water it again. fertilize it... next to never, I did it once. It seemed to get worse. I'm serious. You will receive a message.
I sent you a private message on some basics. Let me know if you got it. Tropicals can be, sometimes, a bit high maintenance if you don't know alot about them. I'll try my best to help you revive your yucca to it's former glory. ;)
@SmartedPAnda - No we just finished moving, all my bowls are unpacked and in the cabinets. I'm not sure why we're discussing my bowls, but now I'm hungry for cereal.
Anyway, the fern needs plenty of water (but not too much water) and sunlight. I'm thinking that sunlight is what it's missing, since bathrooms generally don't have bay windows.
If getting it more sunlight sounds too complicated, buy a new one.
Re-pot it, give it some worm-poop, and some good water, change the soil would probably work too. And keep it in a Nice sunlighty area but make sure it don't get to much sun... Lol.. That's all I can say too do.
@lili4trees - I do speak to it, I always say "Down with trees!" Then it just dies more. Maybe he's also 4trees and all this time I've been beating him down emotionally with my anti tree rhetoric.
@dctcool - haha. Tessa is well aware of the state of the love fern, we've been struggling to keep it alive for months now actually. So I thought it best to consult the experts, that's right, random youtube viewers are experts at plant care.
It's not a fern vanawesome. It's Bamboo. Look up proper watering, soil and light conditions and change anything if necessary.
Also you can buy "fertilizer spikes" at most any hardware store. Just pop one of the spikes into the soil near the roots put on a bit of water and it should help the plant live past this horrible "deathly ill" looking phase :).
@Tasya89 - not bamboo actually, I'm still on the fence about the whole fern debate, but I'm certain it's not bamboo. I'll look into the fertillizer spikes, they sound extreme, like a sweet guitar solo should be playing when I jam those spikes into the dirt.
@lduk - always happy to amuse you my curiously eyebrowed man! How's things?? i see you got a lavaliere mic. You lucky bastard. I want one. Immediately, give it to me right now.
@vanawesome LOL. Things are well thanks. Indeed I do, In fact, I have 2. They're nothing special actually, they cost like £3 each lol. Although the recording device they connect to is awesome! That was £150.
Seriously, though, the fern looks like it's outgrown its pot and...well, is being strangled. Get a bigger pot and replant. Baneraze's comment below is a good one.
it looks like the fern has been cut back a bit over time, but hasn't been switched to any bigger pots to accommodate the root system, buy a bigger pot put new potting soil in break up the love fern's root ball put it in the pot, cover it with soil and give it a little drink. it'll look bad for a couple days due to shock from replanting, but after it should get better.
@Baneraze - I see. take the panthers side why don't you! haha. Actually, we just recently moved it to that pot from a much smaller one. And the stubby branch you see on the left, used to be rich with leaves, but they all died off.
send it get well cards o.o

@ace77man - I know right?! Best purchase I ever made. "Buy a fern of sorts, get a smokin hot lady friend... FOR LIFE!" That's what the sign said under the plant section at ikea. I thought they were just being quirky europeans again, turns out it was true!

It is not the fern that has the power. It is you two. You got the love fern for a certain price it's really what you guys have.

To save your love "fern":
why not arrange to meet in a bar and then you and the fern can pretend you have never met. Ive heard this spices things up alot

That's not a fern so your love will survive. Looks to me like it got too much water and not enough light and fresh air.

@Brennna - so your saying that because of it's mistaken identity all symbolism is now null and void?! Yeah I could get behind that idea.
vanawesome 1 year ago
@vanawesome No. I'm saying take care of the plant properly, not as a fern. Look it up if you have to. Actually, it reminds me of the "monarchy", they keep a certain amount of ravens at the tower of London and clip their wings so they can't leave because if they leave the monarchy will crumble. It reminded of your plant. Poor thing, so much stress. :(
Brennna 1 year ago
You are quite the romantic fellow, sir.
Is that even a fern? Or is it a giant yucca? If the latter, give it sun and air circulation (do you have an outside area?), but not too much water.
In any case, maybe figure out what the heck it is first.

@Shyaporn - sound advice sir. Very sound. I was hoping that the interbone could tell me at little to no effort on my part. I'll wait to see if that happens first, if not, then I'll take some steps on my own to solve this puzzle.
vanawesome 1 year ago
there's 3 golden rules you have to follow when dealing with love ferns. 1. don't put it in direct sunlight, 2. don't get it wet, and 3. the most important rule of them all is, never, ever, feed it after midnight! i saw it on a movie once. anyway, try it for a couple of months and see how it works out.

@hippysIapper - nicely done with the gremlins reference. I think I'd like a sea of mutated love ferns though, I've always wanted a multitude of relatively harmless foes to slaughter all throughout the evening.
vanawesome 1 year ago
Ok First, ignore the people that are calling it a bamboo plant. It is NOT a bamboo plant. It is a Yucca Elephantipes, or better known as a Yucca Cane. Secondly, how many hours of sun does it get? How bright? How often do you water it? How often do you fertilize it & if so with what? It looks like it's being overwatered, but I need to know these things first. If you're serious about reviving the plant, send me a message on here. I'm a horticultural science girl, so I should be able to help. :)

@DicentraSpectabilis but isn't this plant a shade plant?
qualqui 1 year ago
@DicentraSpectabilis - Bingo! You sound like you know what you're talking about! It's next to a window with the blinds drawn, so, not a whole lot of light gets through, but some does. I water it probably once every two weeks. I let the soil get dry as was recommended before I water it again. fertilize it... next to never, I did it once. It seemed to get worse. I'm serious. You will receive a message.
vanawesome 1 year ago
I sent you a private message on some basics. Let me know if you got it. Tropicals can be, sometimes, a bit high maintenance if you don't know alot about them. I'll try my best to help you revive your yucca to it's former glory. ;)

Nitrogen and potassium will give the plant a super boost. It would also be a good idea to change out the soil for extra measure.

You *are* this and that and whatnot!
Anyway, the fern needs plenty of water (but not too much water) and sunlight. I'm thinking that sunlight is what it's missing, since bathrooms generally don't have bay windows.
If getting it more sunlight sounds too complicated, buy a new one.
MntlWard 1 year ago
Re-pot it, give it some worm-poop, and some good water, change the soil would probably work too. And keep it in a Nice sunlighty area but make sure it don't get to much sun... Lol.. That's all I can say too do.

@dctcool - haha. Tessa is well aware of the state of the love fern, we've been struggling to keep it alive for months now actually. So I thought it best to consult the experts, that's right, random youtube viewers are experts at plant care.
vanawesome 1 year ago
It's not a fern vanawesome. It's Bamboo. Look up proper watering, soil and light conditions and change anything if necessary.
Also you can buy "fertilizer spikes" at most any hardware store. Just pop one of the spikes into the soil near the roots put on a bit of water and it should help the plant live past this horrible "deathly ill" looking phase :).
Best of Luck DUDE!
Tasya89 1 year ago
@Tasya89 - not bamboo actually, I'm still on the fence about the whole fern debate, but I'm certain it's not bamboo. I'll look into the fertillizer spikes, they sound extreme, like a sweet guitar solo should be playing when I jam those spikes into the dirt.

Seriously, though, the fern looks like it's outgrown its pot and...well, is being strangled. Get a bigger pot and replant. Baneraze's comment below is a good one.
trptmbalmer 1 year ago
it looks like the fern has been cut back a bit over time, but hasn't been switched to any bigger pots to accommodate the root system, buy a bigger pot put new potting soil in break up the love fern's root ball put it in the pot, cover it with soil and give it a little drink. it'll look bad for a couple days due to shock from replanting, but after it should get better.
ps- one more thing "It's not a fern!"

@Baneraze - I see. take the panthers side why don't you! haha. Actually, we just recently moved it to that pot from a much smaller one. And the stubby branch you see on the left, used to be rich with leaves, but they all died off.
