hahaha the way you watched it and asked it not to fall 🤣I've done that soo many times. And the moment you turn your back to it for one second is when it does fall.
My sister woke up with an extra cat in her house this morning. It was the neighbors cat who came into stay last night. My sister didn’t know she was in there and closed the door last night. No fights. Her cats know her.
You can add moss right to the end then cable tie the poles together without overlapping, that’s what I do when I extend to 180cms. I use a 180cm garden stake that what you don’t lose any pole. Great video also. ❤
Love the video. You make chopping and extending look easy, even though you get a little uneasy at first. Great job! I would love to buy one of your plants,once you get to that point. Keep doing what you do. You are an exceptional planti parent.
Excellent video Doctor Melissa. You should start putting PE after your name for Plantologist Extraordinaire, you’ve certainly earned that distinction. Most people know that GPS is an acronym for Global Positioning System but in your case it stands for General Plant Surgeon so you could be Melissa PE GPS. I think that is a perfect fit. Please say hello to Jack in the Beanstalk for me. Thanks for the video.
Girl, you don't know how much you've grown on me (no pun😂). I'm a new subscriber, but I have seen some of your videos. It's amazing how much in common we have. I love your collection. Sooo beautiful!! I have about 170 plants. I know how crazy and emotional you can get with your plants. I usually cry because of how happy and thankful I am to have all of my plants!!😂😂 But I have to really control my emotions when I have to chop them. We feel that way because they are also our babies. Especially when we've grown them from very little. I'm not trying to be dramatic😂😂. It's just my truth! Your videos are super relatable and enjoyable. You do such a great job!! I look forward to watching more videos.❤️🪴
Thank you so much! 🤗 I'm happy to have you here and it makes me so happy that you find them relatable and enjoyable 🥹 170 is a great number!! I'm probably a good 225 now at least lol and it's a lot especially because I tend to over care sometimes 🙈 but definitely agree they are our babies and it's been the best growing them out from such little plants. Sometimes I want to shrink some down again and watch them regrow lol.
3 hours ooofff well done! I bet that was so satisfying to finish, and it's such a good idea to sell cuttings/plants you might as well recoup a little money as a bonus imo x
Woohoo!! Well done Melissa 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 This is exciting!!!! And although you hate making the wire moss poles it's sooooooo therapeutic and lovely watching them being made up so thank you 🤭 I've never had to chop and extend a pole YET but I think I may have to extend my first pole this summer (Dec/Jan) so am getting excited. Watching you getting your zip ties while praying she doesn't fall made me anxious but also chuckle....phew! Oh and seeing Chai with the moss bag was so adorable. I'm more of a dog person myself but my daughter is def a cat person so I'll be showing her that later on hehe. Splendid growing!!😉🥰
I would 10000% buy some cuttings if you decide to sell them! I also love the idea of grafting tape for the moss poles! I think it looks so much sleeker, especially if you are using a clear pole! PLUS, I think it aids in moisture retention around the nodes.
Yess!! Exactly! It’s what helped my verrucosum finally grow. It wasn’t rooting into the wire pole so once I put it on a thiccly one with wrap it started attaching quickly!
She’s a stunner an when all four vines get going OMGosh!! 💥 Wondering if your gonna sell any of your Anthurium babies? So happy it’s not raining today😀💚 A shop would be awesome! I hope you do it!!🫶🏼
I will at some point! I'd rather grow them out a little than sell little seedlings just so I know they'll do okay! Yes, gotta love some sunshine for a change lol ☺️
Thank you!! Amazon! Here’s a link if you want to take a look at it ☺️ www.amazon.com/dp/B0BVZ4J56G?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzmeli0992-20&creativeASIN=B0BVZ4J56G&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.3ROMN6GEG911X&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_m_asin
Would cling wrap also work to help root connect just wondering I almost want to try to grow a large plant but still definitely still new to plants and they intimidate me lol they are so magnificent!!!!
Lol it’s a lot to learn and you don’t know until you try! My first poles I made were so bad 😂🙈 but they’re worth it! You really have to want to grow larger leaves. As soon as one starts maturing then you’re hooked, you’ll want to do more and more 😂 cling wrap will work, might have to use some tape too so it doesn’t come apart!
I love your videos! I learn so much. You have to be pretty brave to chop! If you sell your plants how would a person go about buying? I love all you do, ther plants, your cats, your home is beautiful! You remind me of a young me lol!
Thank you so much 🥹 It gets easier the more you do it but for a pole I haven't chopped yet it takes me a minute to actually chop the vine 😂 I've been wanting to create my own website but I'll definitely have to figure all of that out. I would have the ones I wanted to sell listed on there. I don't think I want to do an Etsy shop but we'll see! I'll definitely let everyone know :)
I love the rubber string hack ,that will work perfectly for my Billie . Thank you for sharing
You’re welcome 😊
hahaha the way you watched it and asked it not to fall 🤣I've done that soo many times. And the moment you turn your back to it for one second is when it does fall.
Yes!! 😂😂 exactly how I broke my marble queen leaf. Turned away for one second and boom, 4 poles come crashing down 🙈
I’m all for eventually getting cuttings from you. The splendid is beautiful.
Love your moss pole collection. I have found having a favorite plant of the day easier than claiming all time favorites! I can’t pick just one!
For those who understand, Melissa revealed to all how to grow big leaves. This is quite some work. But this is the way.
Thank you! 🙏
I LOVE the idea of you starting a website ❤
Yay! Thank you!
Your house is HUGE! Good for you! My little house is saturated In plants 😂
My sister woke up with an extra cat in her house this morning. It was the neighbors cat who came into stay last night. My sister didn’t know she was in there and closed the door last night. No fights. Her cats know her.
That's too funny!😂
haha I hear stories about that happening before! That's too funny!

I bought 2 Spendids a month ago and can’t wait to put them on a pole. I’m just waiting for them to get a little bit bigger, but hopefully soon!
Oh God!!! The zip "naughty" tie action!🤣❤
😂😂
You totally inspired me to put more of my plants on poles. Your collection is stunning!!
Thank you! 🙏🏼 they’re so rewarding ☺️
Love the video. You make chopping and extending look easy, even though you get a little uneasy at first. Great job! I would love to buy one of your plants,once you get to that point. Keep doing what you do. You are an exceptional planti parent.
Thanks so much! 😊
Random I know, but that yellow couch blanket looks so comfortable! I want one😂
Lol it is! I think I got it at at target a couple seasons ago!

@@plantsbymelissa Thanks!! I know, sometimes I wish I could too lol.
3 hours ooofff well done! I bet that was so satisfying to finish, and it's such a good idea to sell cuttings/plants you might as well recoup a little money as a bonus imo x
Thank you! 😊 It was probably more like 4 hours with filming everything too lol 🙈
I would so love to buy your plant babies from you. I cannot wait!
Yesssss I was hoping for a long plant video today! Awesome ❤️❤️
Yay! Thank you!! 🥰🫶
Autocorrect changed long to king for some reason 🤣 I’m only half way through the video but it’s so fun to watch!
I lived in Virginia for five years. Since living in oregon I’ve forgotten how strong and hard it rains, mostly in the afternoon.
She looks great!!! Good job 💚🪴🌿
Thank you!!
I wondered why other peoples poles looked furrier. Lol. Great idea.
It saves so much space and I love the way it looks!
Love her too !great work,this I haven’t done yet myself...
💚🌵☘️🌱💚

It is chaotic!! I’ve done it before. Came out nice!!! 🪴🙋🏼♀️🌿💚🐩
Thank you! I love the outcome but the process can be a lot of work lol

This was was awesome to watch! She is stunning! I just got a Splendid top cutting and I am putting her on a pole today!
Yay!! You're going to love one climbing! Mine sized up and started growing pretty quickly!
You’ve inspired me to deal with some of my moss poles that are growing in my tall cabinet, tomorrow 😊 x
aww, good luck!! I have a ton of extensions to do too so I am determined to get them done this week lol 🙈
Melissa put me in for buying the splendid cuttings😊
I love my Splendid, truly understood your mixed feelings! Thankfully they are great plants!! Happy growing!
Nice job Melissa! You didn’t skip a beat after 4 months. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching!! 🤗
amazing!!! 🥰💚
Thank you!!
❤ thx a lot
She’s a stunner an when all four vines get going OMGosh!! 💥 Wondering if your gonna sell any of your Anthurium babies? So happy it’s not raining today😀💚 A shop would be awesome! I hope you do it!!🫶🏼
I will at some point! I'd rather grow them out a little than sell little seedlings just so I know they'll do okay! Yes, gotta love some sunshine for a change lol ☺️

She looks pretty. It really took it out of you. It was a longer video, till I read your intro and you took three hours to film.
Would cling wrap also work to help root connect just wondering I almost want to try to grow a large plant but still definitely still new to plants and they intimidate me lol they are so magnificent!!!!

You are doing amazing!👍
Will it grow soil roots out of the bottom of the stems, or just from any nodes that are in the soil?
Just the nodes that are in the soil ☺️
If you cut them off what would you do with all those props?
She’s almost at the to of the pole.really tall, she’s really pretty
❤
No you made me anxious. I kept saying, get the zip ties, get the dip ties while you stood there.
🐈🐈❤❤
What if you tie a square knot?
use mesh stockings
i love u and ur kittys ill bye one of thoses cutting off of u if u plan on selling them ill pay the shipping
hello
Don’t you want to close the bottom of the pole? The soil will stay in Better
Why are you calling the plant “she”? How dare you misgender a plant without first considering its pronouns 😂 maybe its a they them or even fluid
