      Thanks for this great video, perfect timing for me! My backyard is covered almost entirely in lush sphagnum moss. (Canada) Do you have any tips for using this moss to make moss poles? I wonder if I would need to dehydrate it completely first, or if I could use the "fresh" moss.

    Almost exactly a year ago, I watched your moss pole making tutorial for the first time. I had a regular old trailing golden pothos I wanted to wrangle. This year, I have pothos leaves way bigger than my hand. Not to mention a growing collection of different plants on moss pole. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and helping me learn how to create a lush jungle in my home.

    I am a Flight Attendant ✈️ and right before this trip started I thought and reminded myself to save all the plastic water bottles that I drank and I carried them around for this 4 day trip and I will be putting holes through the caps of the water bottle and putting them on the top of my moss/fern tree mix in my poles to water my poles. 👍

    Aloha Sydney, Really enjoyed & appreciated your complete moss pole guide. You inspired me to start my moss pole journey one year ago, & I now have over 30 plants on moss poles. This video was not only a wonderful refresher, but also a great inspiration. Many Blessings on your plant journey, & much Aloha from Maui……

    This man got me hooked on the moss pole 🤣 I'm a brand spankin new plant parent too. My poles dry out hella quick here in the NE of US but it's heckin hot this summer and I use about 400w+ of grow lights. I sleep during the day and work overnight, the lights automatically come on at 11pm. Do yourself a favor, DON'T use the plastic "hardware cloth/mesh". Unless you don't mind zip-tying an additional dowel or stake to the back, as shown. The skinnier the pole, the floppier that rubbish plastic gets. I've found adding a piece of plastic sheeting on the back of my moss pole before adding the moss helps with the drying out too. I shoulda done that on day one. I made my own "grow vertical" poles too, using basic products bought from amazon. Worked like a charm! Glad to see Brad hamming it up as usual😂

      I've been keeping plants for 10 plus years and that is the secret to indoor gardening, block out all available sunlight and use grow lights. I was awake for 4 days this weekend with the Colombian marching powder so I slept like a baby even with my lights. I only have 1 small philodendron and 3 small Hoyas though because climbing plants can quickly make a mess of the place. As for night growing it will probably make "day" temps cooler and "nights" hotter, will that cause problems? Only way to find out is try. I'm about to try to grow rare plants from the Himalayan Mountain, I'd rather play it safe and not say these will be the only ones in the world growing outside mountain regions but I'll say in my state no one else will have it. Time to start marching!

    I just discovered you a couple of days ago and have been binge watching your videos. I've learned so much already (thank you!), you have a really great way of explaining things! I really love the why's as I'm the type that needs to understand the rationale, and we're not doing things just to be doing it :)

    Quick Tip: I've noticed that using thin, flimsy plastic bottles doesn't really work for my moss poles; however, using bottles with thicker plastic, like the Fiji bottles Jan uses, works like a dream for his moss pole watering technique. 💗💓

    Thanks for the guidance! Following your tips, I now have 30 mosspoles with some plants nearly touching the ceiling. Time to chop and extend soon :)
    A tip for those struggling with your watering method: opt for square-shaped bottles! It might sound odd, but it truly makes a difference. I experimented with typical round bottles, like 1L Coca-Cola ones. With them, water either stops dripping entirely at some point or flows too rapidly. It's challenging to find the right balance between too few and too many holes (or different sizes of holes). Square bottles, on the other hand, seem more flexible (flat sides allow more wiggle room when sucking some air in) and better regulate water flow, making it easier to control the amount of water released over time. I don't have 1L Fuji water where I live, but there are other options - I use HDPE 1L bottles with DIN45 caps; it's also very easy to fill due to the wide bottleneck diameter.

    Hey, I love that you put together a whole video about moss poles :) Just a quick thing I learned : use mesh in square form!! I started with a hexagon shaped mesh and it was flopping over the whole time. When I bought the square shaped mash it was a total game changer :D

    Hi Jan! I just made my first moss pole about a month ago. I started with a syngonium. My plant attached itself to the pole in less than 2 weeks and is doing well! All the things we have to take into account when growing plants, humidity, light, temperature, air flow, fertilizer, etc, etc - all of these factors are limiting factors. So that if any one factor is insufficient , it can cause limitations in plant growth and health. So the idea is to try to maximize each one of these factors for the best results. The success of growing on a moss pole , or any other growing technique, for that matter, still depends on each and all other limiting factors. I expect that this is the reason why certain things work in some places for some people and not for others.

    • @sydneyplantguy
      @sydneyplantguy  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Totally :) the whole conditions vs care approach still applies :) Miss poles are just a care approach & won't ever be able to compensate for poor growing conditions :)

  • @Binnie_303

I currently have two plants on moss poles, one in aroid mix and the other in Bonsai Jack Cacti and Succulent Mix. Both are given GT Foliage water weakly, weekly and are currently thriving, so far! I’m so excited to bring the knowledge and experience of your own plant journey into my home and tweek it for my own enjoyment in my collection!

    I did it..I potted up a couple rooted cuttings onto my first moss pole! I have been fighting it, but I want to see them be happier and grow to a more mature state. I have been subscribed for awhile and have watched you learn and grow as well. I am certain you get a million repeat questions, so this video was fantastic as a big overview and folks can go back and watch other videos to get the extra details. It has been a learning experience for me without having to commit to the moss pole life. Now I am in to try this. Most of my plants are healthy but they just kind of max out on size when in a pot...or the pot size just keeps growing over the years and it is space limiting. Pretty excited and I want to thank your for all your efforts and sharing with us. Plus, the cat is not hurting!!

    Hello! Nice to see your technique. :) I've been having great success mixing spag moss with fern fiber, 2/3 - 1/3 respectively. Mixing them together with water in a bowl, the mess is minimal. It's a good way to make more poles with less spag - and the roots are all in! Plus I love the smell of fern fibre. :)

    Good concise guide. I've been using your moss pole method for a few months now and its interesting how quickly you can settle into a regular routine with it.
    I stand 3 plants at a time in the bath, shower the leaves and lightly moisten the moss, then use the upturned bottle.
    I have a layer of leca in the bottom of the outer pot so the plants aren't standing in excess water when I put them back.
    Keep up the good work!! 💚🌱

    Great series of programs.
    Started making moss poles when I saw one of your clips and the plants on them are doing well.
    Using mixed medium half moss and half coconut chips. The plants are outside so they have a very chunky aroid mix.
    A local grower of ferns told me you need to weather coconut chips or they rob nutrients from the meduum, grey/brown ia the color to aim for.

    Thank you, Jan! I started 4 moss poles after watching your channel. I couldn't figure out why sometimes my water bottles wouldn't flow. I read on line to make a hole in the top of moss pole for the bottle to sit in. After watching this, I added more moss so the bottle just barely touches the moss and success! 👍The watering tips were very helpful. Thanks for another great tutorial! ❤🌱

    I stick a ceramic hydro spike with attached water container, the ones that come in different sizes, to the top of the pole, and it is easy to use and helps to keep the moss moist for longer. It does not water the pole completely, but using it i only need to water the pole once or twice a month.

    just a thought, while making the pole. you can also sprinkle cinnamon throughout the moss to kill off fungus spores it also acts as a growth hormone. Great info on moss poles I cant wait to make one. thank you!!

    I have started with the plastic backed poles because we live in a semi-arid environment. And they seem easier to water. And I’ve just started with 3, and one so far on a cedar plank, and others (smaller trailers/climbers) on trellises… thanks for EVERYTHING Jan! Your videos have inspired so much in me and they way you do them is soooo informative and easy to stay to watch!!!
    Why wet the moss before making the pole only to dry it in the sun after? So the moss forms to the pole?
    Brilliant video thanks Jan and Brad!

    I’ve made my own diy budget grow vertical moss poles from pvc cutting board material from the dollar store, roll of plastic rain gutter guard, zip ties, hole puncher and a tomato stake. I’ve also made a smaller version using large smooth plastic water bottles split in half for the backing using all the other same materials.

    A-MA-ZING video ! I recently started to care about plants and quickly caught the bug. I now have quite a nice collection with some araceas.
    I've been hesitant about moss poles because they seemed complicated to deal with but that video and the others just flushed those doubts away. I'll start slow, though as advised and see how the plants react to their new environment etc...
    Anyway, thanks a LOT for your videos and your channel ! Suscribed !

    Hey Jan I had a question regarding watering - how do you do it when it comes to going away for a week on vacation or something? Do you have any tips on prepping your plants upfront or tips to give to friends/family which have been assigned to water plants, but who might not fully understand plants as indepth?
    Besides that great video as always! :D Greetings from Germany!

    • @sydneyplantguy
      @sydneyplantguy  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I get a friend to house sit because of my Baby Brad anyway :) and I just use different colored stickers to indicate approximate watering frequency: red (check every 3 days & water if required), yellow (check once a week & water if required), white (check every 10-14 days and water if required) - ultimately depends on the conditions while I'm away. I get my friends to watch my youtube videos so they know what they need to do hahaha :D

    I started using my Monstera deliciosa as a tree. Once it got tall enough(with an oak pole for support) and I stuck all the aerial roots in the pot I still had space in the pot for more plant's. First I planted plant's I don't care too much about. After I saw it is safe I removed the cheap plants and put rare philodendrons in the pot. Now my monstera is a tree. I removed all the lower leafs off course and left only aerial roots which go straight down into the pot.

    Hi Jan, I appreciate that you consolidated your moss pole content into this excellent video. I have questions about your El Chocó.
    I'm Colombian. El Chocó is a forest region between Colombia and Ecuador. I moved to Philadelphia, USA a year ago. I'm trying to make my new home feel like home with tropical plants.
    This El Chocó Red of yours:
    1. How long have you had it?
    2. How small was it when you acquired it?
    3. Is it growing outdoors, what are the conditions it lives in? I'm using your concept of conditions here.
    The reason for my questions is I'm new to growing these plants indoors. I've gotten all my plants as 1 leaf seedlings. They are a symbol of me growing roots in this new city. I notice you like to highlight plants when they are big. I find it a great inspiration, but it would be of great benefit to me, and hopefully to others to see how to begin that journey.

    • @plant-logic
      @plant-logic 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I think the El Choco is a newer addition. I want to say he expressed interest in a past video, but he didn't yet have the plant. Check out his videos from the "plant spotlight" series. There are a few other velvet philodendrons in there, and you can see the journey from when he first got the plants to their full sizes. I'd imagine the care for the El Choco would be similar to one of those. If nothing else, it gives you a starting point.
