How totally inventive, I loved watching this. I got so nervous when you were pulling it out. I definitely hope you keep us updated on the progress of this lovely fern!
I wonder if the old moss will break down and cause a problem for the plant later down the road. Why not soak the root ball plus moss in water so the moss strands can be pulled out? Just an idea.
Hmm, I probably could have done that (soaking to loosen the old moss). I don't anticipate the moss causing any problems though - I've seen some very old ferns growing around a ball of roots and moss for what must be decades.
Hey Darryl! OMYGOD your ferns are GORGEOUS!! UGH, I wish I had seen this video just before repotting my Rabbit's Foot fern this morning lol!! I saw that mine was not thriving and every tiny frond that sprouted were drying up!! I checked the soil and it was compacted and soggy even though I always drained the excess water! And I wish I had sphagnum moss on hand but, being that I knew this plant is ephyphitic like Orchids, I mixed half & half of both Espoma Organic potting mix and Espoma Organic Orchid mix! In your opinion, is that a good mix for Rabbit's Foot ferns, if not I'm willing to purchase the sphagnum moss! Thank you in advance for any input Darryl, stay safe and well!!🌱🤗🙏🏼🙏🏼
A surrealist jungle at city home !! One question Can I mix inorganic media with organic media for Phelonopsis and onsidium alliance ? Can there be a coconut fibre padding to preventing small granulated media wash out through the side hole of a clay pot or the net of a plastic basket 6” in size ??
Probably would work but since I drink coffee, I'd rather use them for coffee! If I was to roughly estimate, I think the landscape fabric would be a cheaper option per square inch of coverage.
An unusual ‘pot’ ! A possible alternative to having it sit on the stand face down would be to hang it with the foliage towards the window and the face creeping out your guest. Something like this....🌿👺
Why did you wait till the fern was sooo root-bound?! You need to pay attention to your plants, especially since it was in a GLASS container..don’t say you couldn’t see the riots fighting to get out! Very neglectful
I really liked your approach of using unusual objects as a planting pot :)
Me too

Thanks! Yes - I was nervous too!
He looks great! I love it!!!!!
Do you have a follow up for this masked plant? i would really love to see how it's doing.
No update yet
I found you by accident. After seeing this video I had to subscribe. Love your ideas, explanations & care info. Great video!
Jeepers creepers! Very artistic
Do you find that the ribosomes especially like to crawl on specific types of materials of pots such as terracotta/plastic/glass/wood? Cool idea!
I think this is an awesome idea, but I think it might be neat to put 2 fake eyes in the eye holes.

OK you know best. I grow orchids and we are told that old sphagnum can rot and affect the roots so that's why I made a suggestion.
Love your videos.
@@pammclennan1642 Oh, that was just my best guess. I try to approach plant care with curiosity :)
Отличная нестандартная идея. Мне очень понравилась!👍👍👍
Sooooooo dope! Keep us posted for sure!
Please update!!

I don't have much experience with trying different media for orchids. Everything is permissible when you're experimenting - just try! :)
House Plant Journal ;(
What a cool idea. Looking forward to seeing it grow. 👻💀
Thanks! Yes, I'm very excited to see it grow too!
We call it a tarantula fern. I think that name is more descriptive. Are they rhizomes or aerial roots?
Tarantula fern is a much better name for this plant for sure! The crawling roots are rhizomes - new fronds sprout from them
Do you have an update on this one?
Does anyone know which coffee pot that is? I'm trying to do the same thing!
Has there been an update video?
Super Awesome ☘️
Where did you get the glass coffee pot?? from
So cool 😎👍🏼💕
What an awesome video! Thank you for making this
You're very welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!
I did not know I could grown my rabbits foot fern in sphagnum moss.
Update pretty please!!!
Do you think paper coffee filters would work as a substitute to landscaping fabric?
Probably would work but since I drink coffee, I'd rather use them for coffee! If I was to roughly estimate, I think the landscape fabric would be a cheaper option per square inch of coverage.
TARANTULA FERN!!!
Только жаль , что растение в маске стоит на полочке и там совершенно не видно этой самой идеи)))
Are they epiphytic?
yes
I think theyre called aerial roots not rhizomes

LOL...I love that idea but my wife would definitely NOT approve!

@Steve A ha ha! Yeah, the roots were rioting to get out!😵
