Hello, found your channel recently and so glad I did! You have some of the most beautiful plants on poles I've ever seen, and I've watched a lot of YT videos about plants and been to quite a few plant shops. I absolutely love your Silver Sword, it's def one of my fav's and yours looks really healthy n happy. I've been binging your videos the last couple days and really appreciate all the work it takes to post n share your content. Thank you n God bless you, my dear!😇🙏🌿
I just found you when I was searching how to water moss poles. All I have to say is: YOU ARE A QUEEN! You caught my attention with your awesome energy and presence. Keep doing what you’re doing girl, you’re awesome 💕
I've had issues with the bottle draining too quickly, raining down the outside of the pole, especially if I accidentally let the moss dry too far, and into the pot. I'd rather water/feed my plants separately. So I came up with an excellent idea. I use the Terra cotta watering spikes! I embed it in the top of my poles and when I invert the bottle, it slowly wicks only as the moss needs it, as it's drying out! So it never dries out, stays constantly evenly moist! Works splendidly!! I can fill a bigger bottle, even with short poles and they stay perfectly evenly damp, without major wet areas that are waiting to distribute the moisture through the moss. Love it!! As soon as the bottles are empty, several days later, I refill them and repeat. Happy Growing! 💚
Growing my plants in soil, I learned that I have to build in a barrier between mosspole and soil, otherwise the soil is always very wet, which would cause root rot. After trying out various things, I found out that a silicone baking mold put into the bottom of the mosspole (above soil level) is ideal. It witholds the excess moisture from the moss pole. The soil stays dry, while I keep the mosspoles always moist. 😃💚
Shoutout to my fellow adhd peeps watching this 2x with subtitles. LOVE this video, so practical, I tend to be an underwaterer, I need everything spelled out or else I'll do it some really inefficient impractical way & then forget. Thankyou!
The Leca Queen in my opinion have got to be an educator, (reminds me of my favorite teachers) because you really teach extremely well with great confidence on these vids. I completely understand and enjoy your excellent delivery. Good job TFS….still bingeing and enjoying😇
Hello from the US! I just found your channel. You are phenomenal and your content is so very educational! I'd very much like to try making moss poles and see if I can train some of my pothos to grow larger leaves. In Mexico once, I saw pothos in their natural environment climbing up trees. The leaves were massive and some were even finistrated!! Off to watch all of your videos!! Also, for those who live in the US, I have heard great things about Liqui-Dirt and I am planning to use that in my moss poles. Please take this with a grain of salt as I am a complete moss pole noob but I thought it'd be helpful to offer an alternative. Happy housplanting!!
Hi! Great watering tips. I use a plastic coke bottle. I used my soldering iron and burned holes in the lid so it doesn’t guzzle out on me when I flip it. Also, since I don’t have a pump sprayer, I found that I can spray the pole with it as well. Just point and squeeze. 😊
Ohhhh....I leave the lids on my bottles but have 2 holes drilled in the lid so the water leaks in slowly. No spraying first and no bath towels needed. I love watching you! You inspired me to use leca and now I have sacks of it hahahaaa x
Great idea 💡 I was just thinking the plants in soil, you could put a barrier between the bottom of the moss pole and the soil, like a plastic tube, to drain outside of the pot, to avoid the soil getting waterlogged.
If there was a super like button to hit this video would be my number one. I have watched countless plant videos and this is by far the best. Thank you so very much x
I'm new to your channel, I love your plants their so gorgeous 😍, I love your earing, I am so in love about how clearly you explain everything so Cristal clear, you're awesome!.. 😊 🥰thank you for your videos..
Hello Nora. I've made a moss wall from your video. How do I water that as it would be too awkward to lift out of the leca? I really appreciate your advice. Thank you. You're amazing. I love learning from your videos ❤
Oh my goodness! I am so glad that I have found you! You would not believe the many, many videos that I have watched over the past 6 months & I happened upon your videos and they have helped me tremendously! Thank you sooooo much! I have been having the worst luck with the monsters Delicioso & the monstera adonsonii ! But thanks to you I think that I have some hope & may be able to save them!
So encouraging seeing your huge hastatum leaves. I just ordered moss poles for mine. Just fyi, canopy plant co sometimes has $15 hastatums. They used to be so pricey
Hello, love your channel! Thank you for your knowledge! I'm wondering if you could mention the nutrient value of the Foliar Focus that you use. It doesn't seem to be available locally in the US. Thank you Mary
Good Morning! Your channel was recommended to me this morning as I had been looking at peat poles for my pothos plants yesterday. Thank you! New subscriber.
After watching some of your videos I Hve now subscribed to your channel. You have the most healthy looking huge pothos I've ever seen and that's hiw I want mine to be. Currently on coir poles but I'm going to switch to the home made moss poles like what you use so then keeping on putting them in bigger pots won't be nessecery as theyv develop roots all throughout the moss pole also.
Hi Princess! What comes to my mind as I watch you are the Great minds of scientists of all types on the continent of what today is called Africa did and came up with successful systems of all types which are the basics of world wide systems of all types today. This Princess is what I do. Come up with methods for my plants that work and fit my lifestyle. If it fails, I have to go at it again because the life of my plants is at stake. Thank you and continue on Princess Scientist.
I’m so impressed by your videos it never occurred to me to make moss poles but they are gorgeous! In Perth and have many pothos types potted in soil so my main question is…how do you insert a moss pole into a potted soil plant? ❤️
Thank you for your kind words and for watching and subscribing, much appreciated! The question is at what stage are you looking to insert your pole? Tell me that and we can start talking.
@@TheLecaQueen I have different types of pothos I’ve propagated in water that now needs planting. So I thought I’d start from the beginning! I prefer terracotta but if you think a growers pot is best I have many…Bunnings is my second home 😉
I just found your channel and I'm so glad I did. Love your tutorial with, how to make, care and watering the moss pole. Question...what's the main reason for moss pole and leca? I will tune in for more of your amazing contents. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you for your kind words and for watching and subscribing, much appreciated! May you please clarify your question? I would love to respond but I am not sure what you mean. Thanks
Do you have any guidance on when you prefer a round moss pole versus a moss pole with a plastic back? Are there certain plants that do better growing around a pole instead of growing straight up? Thank you so much! I really enjoy your videos!
Thank you for your kind words and for watching and subscribing, much appreciated! I do not have a preference as to when I use what pole. I guess sometimes if I want the pole to look fancy I use the plastic sheet backing. It also depends on how lazy I am feeling. Making the plastic sheet backing one takes longer 😂😉😉.
Interesting, I did a little experiment that might interest other leca fans. I've got a large jar full of leca, and it's just semi hydro in there. The pole is moss all the way down and dips an inch or 2 into the jar. To avoid having it soaking I keep the water level well below the pole. It's staying moist, just one of the many ways to water.
Hi! I just found you today! I can’t tell you how excited I am! Thank you for all your hard work in sharing your knowledge with us! My questions are, do you share a link on your moss poles? Also, do you wrap your poles with with chicken wire? Or do they come that way? Thank you 🥰
You are so welcome! Please find my videos onhow I make my poles here. They will answer all your questions th-cam.com/play/PLjZ0p9mB4l9f8DHEyhKuEPfRNFCIfTI6Z.html
Hi there I just found ur channel and absolutely love it. I wanted to ask so are u watering the pole the same time as when u water the whole plant (in leca) or are u watering the pole whenever it’s dried up in between watering schedule. Do we not let the pole dry and have to keep it constantly moist? Thank you I hope it makes sense ahah
Hi, thank you, very informative video. I use a larger form of PON. Never tried to combine a moos pole with semi hydro, because of organic matter falling in my semi hydro substrate. What do you do to make sure you don't get root rod? thank you, and greetings from Switzerland
Glad it was helpful! I have just the playlist to answer your question about using a moss pole in semi hydro. It is about how you make and position the pole. Check it out here: Putting leca plants on moss pole: th-cam.com/play/PLjZ0p9mB4l9einP6Lvz0oDHaztA9Q41mg.html
@@TheLecaQueen You're welcome. You've inspired me to build a moss pole of my own, so I don't have to be jealous of your beautiful plants anymore ;-) I "inherited" my golden ivy from my Mom and it's about 45 years old. A real long time friend with whom I spent almost my entire life. Tha's so amazing!
Good morning from my country, the USA! Today I had my coffee watching you!!! Nice! ( I just discovered you yesterday!!) Please I have a question, what kind of moss do you prefer for your plants? Thank you! Blessings in your day!
I have a question regarding how do you keep the poles standing up straight when they are so large. I would think the pot would tip over with all the top weight. I am wanting to start a few of my plants with a moss pole while they are small but I'm concerned about what happens as they get big. I'll re-watch your moss pole videos. But this question is always on my mind.
Thank you for your kind words and for watching and subscribing, much appreciated! Check out this video that explains how I keep my poles from falling. th-cam.com/video/Cy1SlG8qvK4/w-d-xo.html
Lovely video!!! So informative and you radiate all the good vibes ! I’m very interested in buying the solution you showed. Sadly, I’m in the USA and cannot find it here. Where could I find it that can ship to the USA or what’s the next best thing you would recommend ? Thank you so much in advance !
Hi; i am new to your channel and i love all your videos. i am interested in changing my plants to leca..how much water do you put in a resevoir for a plant to sit in? thank you so much and keep these videos coming.
Thank you for your kind words and for watching and subscribing, much appreciated! Check out my video on the basics of leca that shows how much nutrient I use. I am doing a series on all things leca so watch out for it. th-cam.com/video/CMQ2Q2K35ns/w-d-xo.html

Hey! If you’re just starting to train a plant on a moss pole and no roots have grown into the moss yet, should you still only water the pole or should you water both the pole AND soil? Thanks :)
You can get this also in the United Kingdom via Amazon - just search for the company, Growth Technology. The sub-brand names DO seem to vary from country to country but the UK Amazon lists all sorts of different formulations - more than you will ever need lol ! I checked the USA version of Amazon and thy only list one Growth Technology product but other brands will be available for sure since hydroponics and growing houseplants in leca is big over there.
Hi Leca Queen, I have been trying to keep my moss pole moist, however due to this the soil in the pot is constantly getting more water clogged and now has a gnat infestation. Please could you advise what to do? Thanks
another question what do you do when u get algae in the pole be cool if you would make a video on that no one has one on what they do when they get algae
just curious....your plants are huge!!! did you raise them from small plants (4 inch) or did you purchase already large & established plants? thank you
Question: I just started Leca & just put up my 1st 3 plants on short moss poles. I am lazy...i purchased moss poles vs making my own. I also purchased a sprayer. It does not appear that the store bought poles would do well with the upside down watering thru the middle hole. any suggestions on how to make my store bought moss poles work??? thank you.
It us just the lightweight green coated galvanised metal mesh fencing rolls. I always seem to have more than one roll hanging about in my shed since I buy a roll every time they are on offer in Aldi or another supermarket. I use this mesh for keeping the local cats out of garden, the birds from scavenging my strawberries in the summer and now I intend to use it for this great way to make moss poles.

I’m trying to order the Growth technology Foliage Focus. Amazon site only seems to have Australia as the choice for one’s region.🙃

Amazing
Won't the liquid solution eventually goes down to the roots of the plant and causes root rot? Just asking??? Love your videos
New to propagating and planting. I have quite a few plants now and would love to try this Moss pole system. What type of moss do you use or recommend?
Thank you for your kind words and for watching and subscribing, much appreciated! I use sphagnum moss.
Subscribed I liked the video
Thank you for your kind words and for watching and subscribing, much appreciated!
I use long strand NZ sphagnum moss for my orchids. Can I use any other type of sphagnum moss? Long strand NZ sphagnum isn't cheap.
Wow the size of your pots are insane compared to what I have 😱😱
Insane indeed!
@Roots_Leaves_Reads you’re an awesome teache🙌🏽

Nice earrings! Your plants look really healthy!
Thank you for your kind words and for watching and subscribing, much appreciated! I think my plants are healthy 😁.
I just found this video and my question is: how do I prevent the plant soil from becoming too wet when watering the pole?
Please see the comment that I just left, might help you.
Do you have any experience with molding moss?
I just spotted some mold growth on my pole and I don’t know what to do now.
Thanks a lot!
I have not had any mold on any of mypoles. If I did I would use Hyrdogen Peroxide to get rid of it.
could superthrive work as your “nutrient solution”? or are you referring to something more like a complete macronutrient fertilizer?
Definitely a complete nutrient. Optimised and pH buffered.
Hey! If you’re just starting to train a plant on a moss pole and no roots have grown into the moss yet, should you still only water the pole or should you water both the pole AND soil? Thanks :)
Yes and yes. The moss needs to be moist for the aerial roots to grow into.
How interesting 😊
Thank you
Where can I get that solution,could you please let me know,thanks
Good hydroponics shops would have it assuming you are in Australia
You can get this also in the United Kingdom via Amazon - just search for the company, Growth Technology. The sub-brand names DO seem to vary from country to country but the UK Amazon lists all sorts of different formulations - more than you will ever need lol ! I checked the USA version of Amazon and thy only list one Growth Technology product but other brands will be available for sure since hydroponics and growing houseplants in leca is big over there.
Hi Leca Queen, I have been trying to keep my moss pole moist, however due to this the soil in the pot is constantly getting more water clogged and now has a gnat infestation. Please could you advise what to do? Thanks
I have some fabulous moss pole Q & A videos out next week and we discuss this, please watch them for an answer. Thanks
Sorry to bug! But do you think that it is better to grow Monstera in Leca? It looks healthier….
No trouble at all. I am a bit biased here as I think it is better to grow all plants in leca 😂😁. Checkout my Monstera in leca in the community tab.
another question what do you do when u get algae in the pole be cool if you would make a video on that no one has one on what they do when they get algae
Okay will do !
just curious....your plants are huge!!! did you raise them from small plants (4 inch) or did you purchase already large & established plants? thank you
Oh no all my plants start life with me little and I grow them to that size.
They are stunning ❤🪴
Question: I just started Leca & just put up my 1st 3 plants on short moss poles. I am lazy...i purchased moss poles vs making my own. I also purchased a sprayer. It does not appear that the store bought poles would do well with the upside down watering thru the middle hole. any suggestions on how to make my store bought moss poles work??? thank you.
Hello Dolly, I have answered your question in the Q & A video found here: th-cam.com/video/q3hVcXb_tug/w-d-xo.html
Would gnats not breed in the moss poles ?
Where are you finding the "cage" you have around the moss pole?
It us just the lightweight green coated galvanised metal mesh fencing rolls. I always seem to have more than one roll hanging about in my shed since I buy a roll every time they are on offer in Aldi or another supermarket. I use this mesh for keeping the local cats out of garden, the birds from scavenging my strawberries in the summer and now I intend to use it for this great way to make moss poles.
Thank you, see how I make my poles here. There is a list of products I use in the description.
