You did great. I loved your rambling. Thank you for helping us. You didn't have to do it, my friend. I have to get that wicking material.
Thank you 😀 that wicking cord works great
You could also put that pot inside a bigger heavier clay pot to help it not tipping over while it gets bigger before you repot it to next size pot. 😉
Don't forget to get that piece of ziptie!😉 This is a great DIY! Thank you! ✌🍃
THANK YOU!!! I just picked it up....lol
@@PlantzNThings 😂 lol
Thanks for the tutorial, Bill! Hope "Bill" likes their new home. I'm impressed by how chipper and productive you are before work, when a lot of us are barely functional.
Lol... its my only alone time... I prefer to film when nobody is around.... most mornings I'm a lump on the couch catching up on TV shows...lol
Oh this is perfect timing. Hardware cloth is so expensive rn this is better! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. I will attempt this but I will try to sew the pole together with a strong chord instead of using the plastic ties.
Gutter guard add to my amazon basket
Thank you.
Might be cheaper at a hardware store :) but the convince of it coming direct to your door is something too...lol
@@PlantzNThings sadly don't have any near me. And I always pick a small business if I can.
Fantastic, thank you for the tutorial.
This was helpful, thank you
You can use cpvc glue (pvc glue if you buy larger schedule 40 pvc). I have made these and glued them that way
Great suggestion 👌 Thank you !
Did the same, even with a special self watering wick for plants and it doesnt work at all. The water stays inside the pipe, i wrapped the wick neatly around the pipe, just as you did and it does exactly nothing for me. The moss dries out and i end up spraying it with water from the outside to keep it moist. Saw some people using 3 vertical lined up wicks, perhaps for exactly that reason because the wick you wrap around just doesnt transport the water well enough.
It's possible... mine work fine. I still have to fill the pipe a few times in the day to hydrate the pole if it's gotten too dry... I'm wondering if you are using zip ties to secure the wick. Is it possible it's too tight and it's constricting the water flow?
@@PlantzNThings just one zip tie on the top as recommended to hold it in place (not too tight) the rest is wrapped not too tight as well. Wick bound with a knot at the bottom. Water remains in the pipe for days, just slowly decreasing, so that’s not the problem..
@@Simplecreature75 have you found a solution?
Thank you Bill. I’m going to be trying that. Could you please do a video showing us how to use a bigger diameter pole and the metal wire?🌺💚🙃
next time i'm at the hardware store i'' see if i can find the appropriate material fir the wider pole.
I wonder if you can put small holes in the pvc pole. That seems like it might work.
I thought about that.. but that would just water the bottom of the pole really well... gravity would favor the lowest holes... I was trying to divide the Pole in half.. to possibly have holes halfway up... but haven't found an item that will help.
Whats the purpose of the rope? Is it so the moss grows roots around it, or is so that you can add another pipe?
The rope is the wick to pull the water out of the pole and into the moss
Thank you so much😀
That was great thanks
👍👍👍
Plastic Gutter Guard
as of 1/25/23
is $17.99
not $4.99 - $5.99 as you stated in this video.
Prices of things are Nuts these days
I did mine in this way but for some reason the moss pole stays dry😔
You need to water it often to stay moist.... I keep my watering can in the area and top them up every time I'm in the room...
@@PlantzNThings Oh Jesus😂
@@PlantzNThings Oh Jesus😂
I agree, I did one the same and it stays dry. They are a waste of time
Bill if you need elephant ear ,i have many ot that plant
Thank you 😀
Do you remember what kind of wire? Chicken wire, hardware cloth?🌺💚🙃
It's not the Hardware cloth. the one i'm thinking of is more like a plastic fencing roll with maybe a 1/2 grid... when i'm at the hardware store next i'll have to look for it. I might make a video using that material as well.
Nice idea, taken efforts,but too slow video...🌿🌿
Like watching paint dry
To much info to much talking and no showing ,geez just get to the point
