It's been 13 months, we need an update to this video❤❤❤
Wonderful. My biggest reason why I start small, is the satisfying feel seeing them grow into giants! Almost all my plants were from small. Those big cuttings were from before I understood the satisfaction of growing from small. If I had to do it all over again, I'd get them all baby size! 😁
So true !!
I’m starting out as a beginner with moss poles so it’s good to see how the starts look. Always love your clear videos. Also your diction and speech is fabulous. No Um’s and aah’s.
Thanks :)
Agree, too many creators fill blank spaces with umms and its all I hear
I just started too and im so excited to watch them grow!
Totally agree. Starting with baby plants make them much more fuss-free - all my calatheas that I bought very small that grew up in my home are easy going and very resilient. And the joy of seeing the small plants grow large - priceless 🙂
Your videos saved me so much space and arguments with my husband 😂 growing vertically is genius! I don’t have to downsize my collection due to space, and I love that they get more nutrients this way. It just makes sense. The only downside: now I want more alocasia because I have space! 😂
haha that's a good downside :P happy growing !
Thanks! Always love your videos!
Another inspiring video! Can’t wait for the next .
Jan, thank you so much for sharing the beginning of the smaller plant journey, love the idea of an update next year!
Wow...just wow.. your plants are so gorgeous! 😍
I always start small because of the prices but can’t wait for them to be lush.
I love moss poles, they take dedication to keep them moist. Thanks for sharing your young plants; looking forward to seeing them in a year.
Started my moss pole adventure recently after discovering your videos! Waiting for first 3 plants to attach to their poles. Cut up some wires last night and ready to make some new poles tonight.
Absolutely great info video! Thank you dear!
Great pointers and great video! I love this! Starting with small plants is so rewarding and a great way to enjoy the plants journey of growth :-). Thank you for sharing about WREN too :-)!! We need to help the planet! We're all a part of it.
Thanks Jan 😘. Your videos are always such a pleasure to watch, very informative, and well produced. We appreciate your time and effort, expertise, and chilled out approach, giving us the confidence to have a go. So, this is my week to embrace the chop and start again, small.
I just wish I could stop checking my cuttings for signs of new roots 🫣
Thank you so much :) and happy growing !!
😁 Bei kleinen Pflanzen kann ich mir einreden, dass ich schon noch irgendwo Platz habe.
Thank you! 💚😊
Your plants are by far the best I've seen. Love the information x
Thanks :)
Even your small plants are amazing 💚💚💚
Oh Jan, your channel has been so so helpful! I bought a few little plants and put them on moss poles and my monster dubia is starting to reach the pole! I also put my rhaphidophora tetrasperma on one and omg... she didn't miss a beat and started to grow roots inside of the moss pole ASAP and they were growing so fast! I still need to get a hold of the watering situation, but so far so good! Thank you so much for all the information you're sharing!!
I like the way you pinned the plant to the poles. I’ve always used twine but going to start using pins instead.
Great video.
yes! so easy to use. You can get 100 for like 7 dollars on amazon
This was the best video i’ve seen about moss poles! Ive learned SO much from this that I will be working on all my moss pole plants today…..Thank you so much
Awesome! Thank you!:)
I planted my first two plants on moss poles today, an adonsonii & a white princess. I’m in Perth so have a couple of months of growing season so I hope to see a few new leaves & roots. A few months ago I had a support worker who deliberately killed most of my favourite plants so I have been a bit depressed. Starting this new project has cheered me up a bit. It’s hard to afford new cuttings of pretty plants when you have a big die off over a short period of time.
So sorry to hear about that :/ happy growing going forward :)
Maybe one day you will be able to get yourself a larger space for you and your beautiful plants then you will have the room. 🤞🤞🤞 Keep up the great work.
Thank you for a very informative video, inspiring and entertaining too ❤.
Thanks :)
Thoroughly enjoying your videos and learning so much. Have been transferring my philodendrons from coco coir poles which have done nothing for my plants, to your DIY moss poles. In doing so, also changing my soil to a more aerated mix. When repotting I noticed the soil at the base of the pot was very damp...not good! Will be starting some of my smaller plants and cuttings immediately in a better aerated soil and on moss poles right from the start. You have inspired me to go to the next level with my collection...thank you! Cheers!
Great to hear :) thanks & happy growing !
Beautiful 😊
Excellent video! Makes me want to buy more more more!!!! Enjoyed your narrative a lot!!
Thanks :)
Love that Magic Dragon! 😮
I like the idea of tying the petioles to the pole! Could you do a video on how to arrange your large plants or the ones with poles? Mine seem to keep fighting for the light so some will start shading leaves of others, but I don't have much space to all give them fantastic equal light.

It is very enjoyable by watching beautiful plants growing well.thanks for your tips
My pleasure 😊
@@sydneyplantguy you are good at taking care beautiful plansts
Thank you for this vidéo 💚🇫🇷🙏🌿
Feel like it's the first time ever ive left a comment like that (as well as ever read it) but the ad is amazing and absolutely going for it! Was looking for something like that and feel like it's worth my money! (Definitely if you recommend it, as you are one of the most honest person in here in my opinion) thanks!
Love ❤
Also, I'm a person who skips the ads most of the times as they're so stupid like almost always!
Thanks :)
To moss pole or to Grow vertical…. That is the question 🤔
Haha i ask myself the same question all the time ! I just choose randomly :P
@@sydneyplantguy😂
Could you please do a plant spotlight for your Florida green? 😊😊
That's what i do i buy small plants I'm a philo lover type i buy small philo because one reason is small philo is cheaper than the matured form and i love to see how it grows .
Ask and you shall receive! Thank you for showing your smaller poles. That gloriosum (?) on the bottom left of the screen was so memorizing! 😍😍
Thanks :) it’s a pastazanum :)
Omg! I have a small pastazanum! Goals! 😍😍😍
I recently started my first moss pole, I have been using trellises & Macrame with the dragon fly clips 😅
GORGEOUS PLANTS💚 🪴
12:54 😂 I thought only I had that fear 😂
You have helped me so much, thank you a thousand times! I am wondering what do you use for the plastic backing on some of your moss poles?
please do give us the six month update. I've started about six moss poles so will be good for me to see if mine are somewhat growing at a similar rate. Naturally bare in mind it's winter where I am and summer where you are.
I am moving to a tiny car-free island soon, having to leave all my large plants behind/ sell them or give them to non-planty people in my family. Trying to bring some of the babies tho. Wish me luck
You are always amazing!!! Thanks so much for all you do! Sooo, I know you recommend starting them on the moss poles when small … would that be good for a philodendron billitae?
I snagged one today,,, 💕💕👏👏👏and could not remember if that was applicable to this particular philodendron?
Thanks in advance!
BTW… I grow all mine outside in Florida Zone 10 A… either in pool inclosure or in garden etcetc
Thanks you¡ For your little sodiroi: could you plant the roots of the little leaves up on the moss pole, directly at the same level as the big leaves? It would grow better + be fine in just the moss ;) I do it for my plants
nice vid. The phil billeitae can grow really really huge
I got an atabapoense cutting from my mom and threw me off when it started rooting upwards out of the water propagation container. 😂
I wonder what the evolutionary benefit of the roots growing up instead of down would be. 🤔
Nice, I got Lupinum 2 months ago with 6 new leaves ☕🙋🏻♂️
Happy growing :)
Saw you on tiktok, glad to see you here in youtube..im your follower on tiktok..🥰🥰🥰
Thanks :)
There are two things that are great to watch grow. Your plants and subscriber count!
Awesome!! The essence of starting small and watching your work as your plants grow and blossom. I think it is cheating if you buy a big mature plant, and what a disaster if it dies on you.
Hey! Would you tell me what that plant at the bottom left in this video is called? I discovered your channel a few days ago by watching your moving vlog. Hope you settled in well after that stress. Then I realized I love your way of plant care. Amazing content.
Great video, you've pretty much covered everything I wanted to know. Where do you get your outer pots?
Thanks :) a variety if places but most are from bunnings :)
Hi Jan, thank you for your videos, they are a great help to me.
I am trying your mosspole technique on different plants and it seems to be working great. The plants are rooting into the poll and growing nicely. However I have started to notice that (some) roots have started rotting in the moss, or atleast it looks that way. I let the moss dry out abit in between watering, when I notice the moss is slightly crunchy I top water the moss untill its saturated. What could be happening?
Thanks again!
I never understood why people would buy big, mature plants instead of small cuttings. Sure, big plants look nice, but it's way more fulfilling to see them grow and mature in your inviroment through your time and effort :)
By the way have you thought about getting a staghornfern (platycerium)? I think they make for great displays and look super interesting :)
You’ve just answered your own question, some people like myself prefer to buy larger plants because we like plant styling and might not want to wait and watch it grow from a tiny cutting or seedling 🌱
I’d love to see a chop and extend tutorial with a grow vertical. I understand with a standard pole, but not sure how you’d do it with the GV?
Same process just one side of the pole is plastic :)
Living nice comment as i've enjoyed a video and found Bread on it too))
Can you maybe make a video where you make a DIY version of your moss poles?? I’m desperate to grow my plants as well as yours, but in the UK we can only buy the terrible moss-less moss poles that plants just refuse to attach to…
I have a moss pole tutorial in my playlist:)
I gotta stop watching these videos. I've got 14 plants crammed into my tiny bedroom, about 500 (equivalent) watts of grow lights, and NOW I'm making custom moss panels to hang on my walls😂
Same here 😂
😂😂😂
Same 😂
Could you share about how you might transition from a propstick to a full moss pole? Or would you just start out with a full pole for a plant that will get much larger?
I’m really having trouble keeping my moss poles moist. It’s so dry in Denver! And sometimes I’m not home for a week or more. What do you think about using yucca extract wetting agent to help the moss not be hydrophobic when I water?
How to make plastic bag moss pole? Would like a tutorial!
While hard to say for sure without a much clearer view, the "algae" you reference around 9:55 is most likely moss spores coming back to life from the sphagnum moss. 😃
Hello your channel is wonderful I am very in love with plants and my 1 bedroom condo is a jungle... last year I got some contaminated soil from greenhouse and got an infestation of fungus gnats... I have invested so much in getting rid of them but they are ferocious and getting in all my plants... could you make a video about this
Hi from freezing uk -5 at the moment.. I really appreciate your videos as I’m a new mum to my philo,s.. like you I love them! I am worried about the temperature here, are they that hardy? When my heating is off it’s 7 degrees inside.. keep up the good work you do for us, I also question myself every time I buy a new philo lol.. but just love them. If you have time to reply, I thank you in advance.
Hey, thanks :) my plants haven’t experiences these temperatures so I can’t speak from experience. They will definitely not thrive in low temperatures but they should survive but might go dormant until the temperatures increase again
I love my philodendron Verrucossum also,
There is beautiful rare plant very similar, beautiful colours, Begonia Caravan,
I have many same plants as you also..
I toompaid a fortune few years ago.
Defineate my need poles🥰😇🙏
Some my plants are MASSIVE,
If knew how contact you..
Monsters to top of trees & tree trunk size stems
( outdoors!)
Had same problem with the teeniest Philodendron
El choco,no stem & about size of clover😪💔
Hi Sydneyplantguy, thanks for the educational and helpful video once again! I was wondering what is the diameter/measurements of your see through pots in centimeters? On video it is quite hard to see how big is it.
They come in 10cm ,14cm & 20cm. In this video I use the 14 & 20 cm ones
When they're starting small like this and you are watering the full moss pole, do you use less fertiliser than you would if the plant is more fully grown? I'm loving your videos and you have inspired me to start my moss pole journey!
No, same dilution just because I'm too lazy to adjust the dilution for each plant. But given it's smaller it would use less water so suppose I water less frequently :)
Jan, are fungus gnats and any other pests attracted to moss poles?
Can you tell me what plant is next to your right knee? It has enormous velvety shiny looking leaves
Wat is your standard pot size? Coz i went right away and planted my philos on big pots and just when i tot its not growing so i took it out and found that its growing more underneath 😊❤ also have u tried leca instead of moss on the pole?
How do you know a plant is mature enough to put on a pole? I have a juvenile melanochrysum that's doing well in moss, wondering when its time to put her on a pole
Would you put a Thai Constellation and a Monstera Aurea on a moss pole? I worry about root rot when watering the pole??
❤❤❤❤❤
Curious how you deal with fertilization on the starter moss poles. Thought is preventing salt accumulation in the unused part of pole at the top while adequately fertilizing the plant at the bottom of the pole.
Just flush it with water every couple of months :)
💜💜
I have a lot of my climbers in my greenhouse can I still put them on a moss pole?
Question. Considering the poles require a lot of water to stay a consistent moisture, do you water the actual plant or just the pole? Since gravity pulls the water down I’ve always wondered if I really need to water the plant (planter) or just the pole since the water will eventually make it to the planter.
He said in other videos that he only waters the pot when the plant is first potted. After that he only waters the poles!
Can you list where you get your clear plastic pots? I love the height and size of the ones you use with your moss poles but have been having a hard time finding the deep clear pots such as you have. Thanks in advance!
I buy them in store at Bunnings
also, I don’t mean this in a mean way but when referencing to the size of your pots can you say inches instead of centimeters because i’m terrible at that 😂
@@marymiller5824 The pots say cms on them when you buy them from bunnings.
@@marymiller5824 nope i hope he leaves it in metric you yanks need to move with the times the rest of the world is metric bar you....
Hm, I wonder if there would be any advantage to putting anthuriums on moss poles. Anthuriums don't necessarily need support to mature their leaves, but they are also aroids so I wonder if there'll be any benefit to it?
Yes you could :)
What is the plant behind your left shoulder in this video?
I actually thing the green on the moss poles is attributed to the actual sphagnum moss coming back to life and not algae.
No it’s not coming back to life unfortunately :)
Is there a difference is using coated wire vs. non coated wire? (17:37) My local hardware store didn't have a coated wire mesh, just the exposed grey metal. Will this negatively affect my plants?
You don’t want the wire to rust
Is algae bad for a plant/moss pole? Is it stealing nutrients or something?
Where do you get the clear nursery pots? Large ones too?
Bunnings :)
“I just wanted to queef…brief*ly….” @5:02
😂😂😂
:D
@sydneyplantguy how important is moss quality for moss poles? I'm in Europe and can't get the brand you use. The cheapest I can find is 1 kg of Chilean moss, but it's still expensive imo
I have never used a different moss so can't speak from my own experiences but I've heard that some lower quality Moss can have lower water retention capacity & if it was stored incorrectly it can often come with mold issues.
Добрый день. А вы чем поливаете свои цветы?
1:10 what is this gorgeous plant right next to you ? 🤤 Is this a monstera dubia ?
( -Can i get a piece ?- 🥺 OMG myself, stop ! 😖)
Do you also water the 90cm poles with a 1 liter bottle )same as the full pole)?
Yes :) but i might now fill the bottle all the way depending on how dry the pole is
I’m using a chicken wire fence for my moss pole but it doesn’t seem to have the vertical stability needed to stand up on its own. I put a bamboo stick through it but it still doesn’t work. Do you have any suggestions?
Probably just best to get a thicker wire mesh … u’ll appreciate it in the long run:)
I am rewatching your videos to find out about your Growth Tech Foliage Focus & root stimulant
I am using both but Growth Technology are having 15 % off , went to order
Is this what u use , please advise
Yea I use FF and rootzone :)
What’s the size of your pots and the moss pole circumference ?
14cm pot, 6cm pole
@@sydneyplantguy thank you soo muchhh
Well ,Small form Sodiroi , I didn't know there was a large
I must have the small , tried to google ?..
Sometimes ‘small form’ is really just referring to a juvenile plant & sellers trying to make it sound fancy … there are exceptions of course
Can i... Can i... Can i be on a list to get a piece of your plants ?
Like... Pretty please 🥺 ?
I thought the cat was a furry cushion. 🤔
Why are you using transparent pots?
So I can see the roots
Today I'm 934th thumbs up.
Soon 1 year
Time flies when you’re having fun!!
@@sydneyplantguy it really dose the days pass by without even thinking about it😄
