This looks like the most easiest way I've seen this done. I love the joint method.
omg, I wish I'd seen this BEFORE using pvc piping and fishing line. What a mess! It took hours to get it all done and looking okay. Ended up too heavy for my liking as well. Yours is gorgeous! It ticks all the boxes. Thank you thank you!!
I made a real mess with my string moss pole.I mean..... it worked BUT I'm very happy to be shown an easier less messy way.Thank you🤩🌿
I’m so impressed. I’ve watched other videos on moss poles but I love this method. I’m going to make several. I love it.
AHHH I've been wanting to know for what seems like FOREVER how people make these types of moss poles!! Super excited to try to make a couple myself. Thank you for this 💚😁
Of course! I’m so glad you found it useful! 😃🥰
Amazing video extremely helpful ive noticed the coconut coir pole i made requried to be sprayed constantly and the look of this is so much easier on the eyes! And if the monstera attaches you can just add onto the pole !
Awesome, Thanks for sharing and have a great day!
Great idea and instructions 👍👍.As I had just repotted my Monstera and as she is quite big I added a wooden pole into the middle with a pointed end, long enough to reach the bottom of the pot.That way I won't have moss inside the pot and it has given it great stability for her weight. (The average leaf is 120 cm in width so she is quite heavy.)
Perfect timing!! I need to make another moss pole for my monstera!! 😁. Thanks for the advice!
That’s the biggest blunt I’ve ever seen
Hahaha 😂
I see I'm 6 months too late.
I believe because Craig lives in Melbourne/Bali, his conditions allow for the moss in the soil to stay wet whereas where I am in London, I can't risk the moss to be wet in the pot. I basically measured the height of the pot and removed the moss in that part. :)
Where can I find more info from Craig? Thank you
@@siamesekate844 @craigmilran on instagram, dear.
Alex Papasozomenos So how did you solve that problem? Did you just put soil in the pole part that is in the soil and then moss on top of it? Having the same problem here.
@@MrJules159 I left the bottom section clear up to where the I want the top of the soil to be. Stability could be an issue but mine seems stable enough. Though I don't see why it can't be moss at the bottom if the soil mix is well draining enough.
T F L thank you!
Love it. You are so neat and tidy while making. Cheers 🥂 to 2020 and your channel growing.
I will make a few of these sticks
Looks pretty nice and easy to make
Love your Monstera and Will definitely try to make my own moss pole since you made it to easy to make.
That is really neat looking. I will definitely have to try it.
Thanks so much for this 💚! A few of my plants will need these moss poles. Would love an update on the poles and that beautiful monstera in the future.
You're welcome! I will absolutely do an update :)
Really like how neat an clean you moss pole looks, an easy too make. Thanks
I love this im gonna give it a try
Me too❤️
Looks great. Love the monstera i want a varigated one just cant afford it. Yours is beautiful
Great video, you make it look easy. Absolutely love your variegated monstera ❤️
I like your tutorial the BEST! Thank you for posting. 🍀
Great job! Looks professional.
This is an amazing tutorial! Can’t wait to try it!! Thanks so much 😄
this is definitely one of the nicer looking DIY (moss)poles I've seen! Well done, and I'll definitely be looking to replicate this if/when I get a plant that wants to climb (or when my pothos cuttings have grown larger haha)
I’m so glad you think so! 😃✨
I hope it works well for you when the time comes 🤗
Oh im a new subbie. I want the variegated monstera and the constellation but i gotta master the delisioso 1st. I love the pole gonna go get some stuff today.
I'm excited to make one for the monstera I got !
Thank you! I made the moss pole following this tutorial. It was really easy and my monstera grew happily. Can you please make a tutorial on the extension of the previous moss pole.
Yayyyy I’ve been waiting for this video! Thank you!! Can’t wait to make it it looks so awesome in the black mesh!!
I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😍👏🏼
Nice video! I love that kind of moss pole!
I'm wondering where the weight support in the pole is? I didn't see you ad a pvc or wood pole inside. Great job. Though I'm worried about the weight in time of a heavier, taller plant if it is not up against a wall it will fall out of the pot would it not?
That’s exactly what I was thinking 🤔
Awesome thanks for video 🦋
This is awesome and super easy ty
Thanks!
I absolutely love Craig. He is such a lovely man to talk to :)
Isn't he amazing! I have such plant envy lol
Thanks for this video! I am planning to do one for my philodendrons as well. I love what you did. :)
Love this! Thanks
Thanks Ella for a great tutorial. Your pole turned out as good looking as that thai constellation!! I also love that you credited your inspirations and gave us the rationale for your choices.
I have been tossing up between whether to put a stake inside my pole though and had a concern around sticking the whole pole in the pot, moss and all. Won’t that be risking root rot if the sphag retains too much water and is touching the roots???
Thanks in advance
First of all: great idea. The only point I want to remark is that this idea uses a whole lot of sphagnum, which once was considered could be sustainably harvested from peatlands, but after commercial harvesting, the character of the peatlands characteristics change dramatically for years. So, we should not support using it in these huge amounts. Luckily, there are many alternatives, like e.g. long coconut coir fibers (normally used for these “moss poles”) or sheet moss, which would have been great you would have used or at least mentioned so that not all of us are using so large amounts of sphagnum. Maybe someone else here has even better ideas?
I've been looking into making a moss pole and had the same thought, my best shot for now would be using sphagnum moss for the "outer" part and filling the inner part with coconut fiber, lol. This moss is really expensive where I live too, so that helps with not wanting to use a lot of it (:
I wonder if you could stuff it with coco coir sheets and kind of break it up to make it more airy. I’m going to try it, because spagnum is costly and the video doesn’t tell me how much I’ll need.
@@belenlagos6142 The roots usually go inside the moss pole, so Im not sure if using the coconut fiber in the middle is the best idea.
An alternative to moss poles is using wood frames/ plates/ ironbark totems, not sure about the right name of it lol
@@belenlagos6142 that’s a great idea! The problem with coco coir is that it’s water resistant, so it doesn’t typically work in “moss” poles.
first class thank you
Nice pole! Funny, I just made a video about one too =D Maybe I'll try this for my next one. Thanks for sharing.
I just finished making 5 of these. I was a bit concerned that the pole wasn't going to be sturdy enough, so I added some bamboo splints on the outside... They can be removed if it is overkill.
Sounds perfect 🥰
how many grams of moss did it require for one of these?
Great idea
Very nice!
Great job! So impressed!
Going to make these next week!
How deep do you put the pole in the pot? I wonder about the pole falling over once the plant gets big...
I am excited to try this
Love this video, thank you so much! Quick question: can this be used for watering? As in, can you slowly pour water down the middle of the moss to make it wet? or HOW do you wet your moss poles? Thank you
Great job I really like it
Thank you! 🤗✨
I love that !!
Great idea, thanks!
Great job, I can't wait to try ☺
Love it! I was originally thinking fishnet stockings hahahha
Hahaha 😂
Thanks for video! My monstera's starting to look like a bush :d I do worry about the stability of connecting one to this though...
Excellent idea good video
Great video! Where can you buy moss in bulk
That looks so good! 😍 Is there an update on this video? How's the Monstera doing now? 😊
Hi! I absolutely love this moss pole idea and would love to try it out, I just have one question, how easy is it to keep the moss wet/how do you go about doing this? Thank you!
Hi! I’m trying to build myself a moss pole just like you did in this video, but I’m not sure to understand how the pole stand up right besides your Thaï? Did you put a stick in the center of the pole, and into the soil? Thank you 😌
Meow! Hello! New friend here - with some new monsteras that need moss poles. You did a lovely job with this. Quick question - what exactly did you use to fasten the stem to the finished pole?
Looking forward to making this as part of re-potting my new lovelies. So nice to meet you!
Thank you!! Nice to meet you too! 🤗💚✨ I use plant Velcro to secure the stem. I bought mine on amazon.
Great video! Just wondering how many litres of moss did you use?
Hey Meow..... Plants are new. To 4 mos or more.....But Mrows call my life. & more than 8 but less than 12...thought I'd Share...
Mine wants to wobble and fall. Did you bury the bottom of yours in the plant medium?
How much moss did you need for one pole approximately?
This is a Great Video. !!! I just received my 1sr...Monstera deliciosa.... From Planterina.. Came Fri.. Small but 7 good size 3 smaller leaves & 2 babies.. ..Beautiful & Healthy. I ordered a heat pack.... Coming from New Your... The our Mid Tenn. Had been really cold. But then 60ies.
So i feel safer. I know it will take a while before a stake. Bit If I need one now I would be happy to now... Any ...Thank You So Much as I love vines.....
@theplantsmeow do you find that these provide enough support for a large or a heavy plant? This moss pole looks awesome and I would like to make one for one of my adult monsteras :)
Sooo, how do you moist the moss once it gets dry? Do you just mist them or pour water them like you are watering the plants?
Do u hve a video how to put the pole in the pot?? Mine is not sturdy when i put it😖..and u said u dont put stake. Tia
Looks great! I have made the wrap around moss poles as well as the one with coco fiber. They work fine as a support but the roots did not take to them. I did this technique with the zipties. I tried both pole inside and outside. I felt like it used a lot of moss but I might have made them wider. The moss dries out really quickly. How do you rewet your moss without getting water everywhere? Do you mist? When you put it directly into the pot, does it require repotting? I put the stakes cause I thought it would tip over. 😓
I think the shower is probably the best way to do it. I know this is how Craig does it (particularly for the large ones). I will do some research and see if there is an easier way 🤗
@@ThePlantsMeow Oh, that makes sense! Misting was not wetting it thoroughly and when I tried to water it with the watering can it got all over the place. Lol. 🌊
i was just looking at my plants and was needing to make 2 moss poles thank you! also the link in your bio to the moss takes me to the stakes instead
Whoops! Thank you for letting me know! Good timing about the moss poles then! :D
How do you attached the pole to the pot when you insert a pole to increase the height of your pole?
how did u keep the pole standing. would it fall down as is not inside the pot?
It actually is pretty sturdy since it’s all the way in the pot and the moss is packed in really good. I will probably add a garden stake when I attach a second one 🤗
Do you have to keep the sphagnum moss wet? Since some of the pole with the moss is in the soil, will you need to water the plants differently?
Do you put the moss pole all the way to the bottom of the pot and then fill with soil or is the pole just sitting on top of the soil?
hey there, how much spagnum moss do i need for this pole? 100 gram makes 8 liters of wet moss. and it is pretty expensive. will that be enough for one pole? thanks
I love it. ❤️ how can i make an 8 Ft ?
Just make a few and attach them together. Since you are adding a lot of height I recommend stabilizing them with a tall garden stake that you can zip tie behind them. 😊
Super nice way to make a good looking moss pole! Do you keep the moss wet or do you let it dry out once it is in the pot? :)
Thank you!! 💚 I water once it’s dry 😊
So, do you have to water the Moss every so often? How do you do that? Thanks!
You mentioned that the moss will eventually decompose. What do you do when this happens? Do you have to create another pole? Sorry, I am new to this stuff.
Janine Angenent you can open it up and add more moss 🤗
Where did you get you’re brown pots from?
Why did you never make an update on this, you said in the video you would?
How many litres of moss did you need? Would 12L be enough?
How wide need you cut mesh
When watering your moss pole over time the moss gets compacted. What should I do?
What about those ALL BLACK pole you got? I see there’s no moss inside it. How to do that?
How do you keep the moss damp? I’ve tried and I just can’t spray it enough…
Can you also put bark and coir chips in there?
In the moss pole? I don’t see why you couldn’t 😊
For hydroponic plants can this be modified so the moss doesn't touch the water?
I’m sure it can be! Maybe add some kind of waterproof cap to the bottom. I haven’t tried this myself so I can’t say for sure.
how are these doing do they dry out real fast tho?
So I’ve tried making a couple of my own... They don’t seem to have gone so well! How thick is this mesh that you’ve used? I made one that’s about a metre tall, but it bent in the middle due to the weight, so I’m not sure whether I need stronger mesh or to not wet the moss
The mesh you are using is probably too thin. The one I have is not really pliable and doesn’t bend easy. I do not know the thickness. It is the kind that is used as a tree guard. There are more flimsy garden mesh’s but you want to make you use the sturdy one.
Could you use chicken wire?
I think that you forgot to show how you attached it to the post! Hopefully you'll do a follow up. But so far this is the idea that I had in mind. Thank you for confirming that it will work 😁
how much moss did you use? ive been trying to fond a number everywhere with no avail :(
Loved the video :D I
Thank you! 🤩
What is this Craig guys IG? Can’t understand when you say it.
My plant is root bound. How would you get the moss pole in?
If you can’t lean the monstera against the pole because of the roots you can loosen the roots until you can position it better. If they can’t be loosened just use vecro (of whatever plant attachment you choose) to attach to the pole. Overtime the plant should grow toward the pole or at least feel supported.
Thank you 😊
Just worried that they will be stable enough otherwise a great idea💚🙃
The mesh is a very sturdy one. But once you add a stake to the back there should be any issues 🤗
Craig Milran has been doing it successfully for years without issue
Where did u get ur monstera albo ?
cherie spencer Camila’s house of plants
But where do you get the moss?
I usually get the New Zealand sphagnum moss on amazon but it’s been out of stock more. I have recently ordered from the supermoss website but I haven’t opened the package yet to test the quality (but the price is great!)
How much litres or grams of moss did you use?
I don’t measure I just put enough so it feels packed 🤗
@@ThePlantsMeow expertly made, I love the idea 💡 💜
The Plant's Meow do you remember how many packets of moss you bought to make this?🥺
My husband asks why we are wearing gloves?? Lol
Sphagnum moss is an irritate when in contact with the skin. You don’t have to and I don’t always.
It’s convenient of course, but making it out of plastic is just more non-degradable waste for our landfills, we care about rare plants but not to preserve its fragile environments, you can use wood, string and sphagnum moss for a completely biodegradable moss pole. How many people will watch this video and go buy a roll of plastic that they wouldn’t buy/need otherwise?
I understand but I plan on reusing this plastic mesh for future plants or the same plant for as long as I have it (just changing the moss whenever it degrades). There is no need to throw it away if one plans to keep their plants
too much PLASTIC. for a gardener.

#SparePlanetEarth
I 100% agree that the use of plastic should be used as little as possible. What I disagree with is the notion of a “true gardender” that you are touting. I know many actual gardeners that use plastic tomato stakes, plastic liners, plastic nursery pots, greenhouses etc. This “true gardener” notion is one created from hubris. We can educate our fellow gardeners without shaming them.
