LOVE LOVE LOVE the 12 year old working on so many plants at the end! Awesome! Happy days indeed!
Thanks I am Barrett
Well done mate :)
@@sydneyplantguy thanks, I love your videos they bring me so much joy
🤩
@HappyPlants123 great job Barrett!!! Your collection is beautiful!!!! You're doing an amazing job!!!!
Great video ! So cool to be seen on your channel 😊❤
Thanks for submitting :) love your work :)
OMG thanks for including me, this is House of Yesil from İstanbul 02:26:00
The Sodiroi unfortunately lost the variegation eventually, it appears to be part of a lab produced batch and variegation was caused by stress. New leaves are bigger but no variegation, no fungal issues! I travel quite a bit so the auto watering works wonders for me.
Thanks for submitting!! Definitly a great idea for someone travelling a lot :) and sad to hear about rhe variegation disappearing but it looked stunninng while it lasted :)
One of my plants (a cactus) lives with my ex 😂 I water it when I go to collect my kids, never thought it was a long distance plant relationship 😅
Haha omg that is hilarious 😂😂
The little figurines are from the movie "Princess Mononoke". They are little forest spirits and show that the forest is healthy. Very cute.
Oh my god that is so cuuuute !! Thanks for clarifying :)
Great Part Jan 👍🏼 Very impressed with 12 yr old Barrett and with the lady in Alberta Canada with the snow capped backyard and the thriving indoor plants; kudos to all the submissions! Very entertaining👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I did smile when someone said they binge watch your videos into the early hours. Just to let you know I’ve had bags under my eyes many a day from watching your videos under the covers with headphones . My husband regularly takes my glasses and headphones off in the middle of the night as I’ve fallen asleep dreaming of six feet long philodendron Splendid leaves 😂 Thanks for the great entertainment…and baggy eyes of course ! 😀
Haha oh no 🤭 gulitybas charged!!! Well thank you so much for the support :)
I love these videos. It was such a good idea to make them. They might be my favorites even though Bradley slept through all of it. I'm polish and Ania from Poland had such a polish sense of humor. I loved it
Hehe thank you :) glad you like them! I certainly enjoyed making them :)
What a great video! It's amazing watching how people from all corners of the world can come together through plants. Including me in this made me feel really proud and a proper part of the community:) Massive thanks for your effort and time to make it happen. Lots of cuddles to Brad. 🥰💚
And big thanks to you :))
2 minutes in, just wanna say I love how you frame your video. So beautiful
Thank you :)
Thank you so much, Jan for including me on this video. I appreciate you and your dedication to your SPG community 😊
You inspired me to make RUclips videos and I am starting over again with my channel ☺️
Every single person that submitted their video deserves a huge round of applause 👏👏👏 Really enjoyed this Jan & your influence around the world is amazing! Seeing the young guy doing such a great job is destined for great things 👍👍👍
Thank you & couldn’t agree more :)
This was fun! I really enjoyed this video and seeing everyone's gorgeous plants.
Thank you:)
I think it’s great you included everyone’s submission, not pick only few impressive one. And the noise in my video was dryer. I didn’t realize it was that loud!!
Thanks for submitting :) Hehe all good :) I first thought it was a cat scratching something .... & I really wanted to see the cat hehe :)
I enjoyed spending half a day with you Jan. Thanks for highlighting your subs plants.
Thanks for coming along :)
The cling wrap works well for ones like me who don’t live in humid conditions. It also helps the roots make contact with the moss pole faster if that’s an issue too.
Ida from sweden here. The low humidity is terrible for the skin, dry hands is a part of winter.
Even if the mosspoles where in the window, the sunlight is way to little for like 5 months of the year, so growlights it is.
An update will come, they have already grown so much in the last months, the siltepecana already needs an extention. My collection has also expanded a ton. I can only imagine how much they will have grown in a year!
That’s so great to hear!! Happy growing & thanks for submitting :)
One of your best uploads. Love your work and your passion. Your patience, positive comments and optimism are uplifting and very admirable. Have also started moss poles maybe on the last 6 months of last year because of you. Just finished cutting the poles- all of 24 pieces from one wire-mesh roll from Bunnings whilst I listened to your video last night. Continued the rest of this video this morning whilst having brunch on my working day-off. Thank you to all of you who contributed - I’m more inspired and learned a lot.
Thank you so much :) appreciate the kind words!! Happy growing :)
My monsterra adonsonaii was also infected with mealy bugs when I got it from the store. I put it on poles and cleaned it changed to an Aroid mix and it is on the struggle bus!!!!! I’m trying to save her but she may need to be chopped back. I’m brand new to gardening so this is a super learning curve! Thanks for inspiring me to get started 😊
Love the channel Jan, i would also like to see more videos from the beautiful Viktorija from the Netherlands. I also think she should upload the whole video
She was great in front of the camera too :)
A great video,
So good to see what other planting aficionados are doing✨
💚🌿🍀🌵💚
Thank you:)
The figurines are kodama, tiny tree spirits from the film Princess Mononoke by Studio Ghibli/Hayao Miyazaki! Highly recommend his films!
Hy Jan! About the beneficial bugs: I am from Austria and as you know, we have very cold winters sometimes but hot summers as well. So Autumn and Winter is the time, where the bugs try to find something warmer and crawl into our houses and start infesting our collections. So I would say the big temperature drops are the reason for our precautional bug management. Greetings!
Ohh very interesting!! Good to know :) thank you!!
We are all running out of home for our plants! With love thanks Jan! What joy they bring us all. ♥
A good problem to have :)
This is a great idea for a video series. Nicely done!
Thanks :)
LOVED this video. So great seeing how creative people are.
Thank you so much!
I’m German (born and raised but living in Florida) and I’ve been trying to figure out if you are too because your accent is really good! As soon as you said Apfelsaftschorle I jumped up and said: I KNEW YOU WERE GERMAN. How awesome ❤🎉
Hehe thanks :)
Thanks to everyone for sharing, I love seeing all the beautiful plants inspired by Jan 🪴
Nice, thanks so much for all your amazing plant content. 😍I just binge watched this and some of your other videos while my plant care Sunday.🌿 Your are inspiring me so much and I love your positive and friendly character. 🫶
Happy growing :)
Great video, as always thanks Jan. ❤❤ Impressive to see so many people from different parts of the world, having success in such extreme climate👏👏👏
Thank you:)
Loved this. What great submissions and of course your commentary is super informative and entertaining.
I really liked the visuals helping people understand geography better too (I promise I’m not being sarcastic). You have a way of helping people think about things differently that’s super helpful without it coming across as being rude.
Lastly, your words of encouragement were heartwarming.
Thank you so much :)
So nice to hear other people are struggling with moss poles! I have yet to get one going 😄 thank you
I love these videos. I love seeing everyone's plants and hearing your suggestions & comments. I watched the whole video in the middle of the night when I should have been sleeping! It was a rough wake up for work this morning! 🤣
Oh noo 🤭🤭 thanks for watching though!:)
What an amazing video 👏👏 I have also watched part one! Your idea was brilliant! Thanks for all the inspiration and beautiful views 🙏 Looking forward to your future content 🙋
Ooops I almost forgot... Tell Bradley I said hi 😍
Love the long video they’re the best but we enjoyed this morning as I do all of them.❤️
Thank you:))
Hi Jan, thank you for including my video (shivstg) 8:55 My manjula (and all my plants) currently sits in front of an east facing window!! Planning to supplement it with more growlights! The largest leaf is now 7inches long and it’s almost time for the next pole extension!!! Excited to share more updates with you!!! And pics of my Verrucosum too!!!😊
This was so fun to watch and felt like an asmr in a way
Great video Jan 👍 Wow, wow that 12 year olds plants were amazing 😀🇨🇦
He’s coming for my gig :D haha thanks :)
I love seeing other people growing their plants, it gives me drive to try and make my plants grow. I have quite challenging conditions in winter with as low as 5 %RH because of -30C outside and only an hour of daylight. On the other note, in summer the sun sets only for an hour and the growth can be marvellous. Among my 60ish potted plants, my personal favourite is my dracaena, which is older than me.
Thanks :) challenging conditions !! Happy growing :)
Nice funny dialogue with brad at the end)
Great video! Thank you!
Thanks:)
I can’t wait to see the garden in one year, you did a great job ❤
Thanks :)
Thank you , you’ve already changed my plant life 😂❤
That’s so great to hear :) happy growing !!
Oh, what a wonderful idea! Hopefully one day I can join as well. I always enjoy your videos, very informative.
Thank you:)
1:12:07 that’s my brother! 🥰
Loved this video. It inspired me to finally try putting some Cebu blue cuttings on moss pole. I bought the Grow Vertical poles months ago. It’s in Lechuza Pon so it’ll be interesting to see how it goes. I have numerous climbing philodendrons that I can put on moss poles once I work out how to do it for my conditions. I’ve been a plant enthusiast for 20 plus years but only recently got into aroids.
I’m in the upper Blue Mountains and I have moss growing with the grass on my lawn. I could probably harvest it and use it but it takes a lot of time to pull it up and pick out the grass.
love these videos! love your channel!
Thank you:)
love your videos. I always watch plant videos during my work time, I´m building pipettes for a liquid handling robot and can do that while learning about plants :D
After watching this I really want to send you some pics or a video of my little collection, just put 4 plants on baby poles to basically air layer them and chop them and then put multiple plants on a proper big pole. I have a adinsonii on a big pole, it was my first mosspole and is my only big one, just to try if I like it, soon it will be ready for it´s first chop and extend :D
One suggestion, for the videos where they are not talking themselves, maybe you could comment a bit more, at least mention the plant names or something, the long silence is a bit weird at times :D
Thanks for watching :)
I love this video ❤❤.
Also yes. The cup method works but if you let it dry, like I have occasionally 😅.
The cup method doesn’t work well when the pole is uber dry 😂
Wow Didier's collection is superb!! And the youngster , wow, so enthusiastic
Some great plant growers all over the world :) great to see them all :)
Binge watching in the middle of the night. I'm planning to finally make a few SPG moss poles and repot my pothos and monstera deliciosas over Easter.
Love seeing everyone's plants. They look great. What a wonderful community.
Final words: I live in a converted shed in the Adelaide Hills, cold dry winters, low light and bore water are my challenges! Yes, totally agree that Australia has a single climate 😂😂🤪
Thank you :) happy growing despite the challenges :))
Even Spain has cold wet winters in the north!
Of course, even Australia does. But nothing like a swedish winter … just wanted to make a point that ‘european weather’ doesn’t exist. It’s as variable as ‘Australian weather’
Hi Jan ,Love your Videos , I have the same problem pronouncing my plants names , Thank you Diana 😊
It's hard to refer to the zones outside the US because the zones are officially designated by the US Department of Agriculture. The USDA has a map of the hardiness zones, but it only covers the map of the US. One could calculate their zone by knowing yearly temperature patterns in their area and where that falls in the USDA zones, but I don't know if it's strictly meaningful in this context-the USDA hardiness zone is defined strictly by lowest temperature in your area. It does not factor in seasonal timelines, sunlight availability, or humidity.
Very good to know!! Thank you! Sounds like the zones are kinda useless unless you are a farmer in the US :P
Hi to Sydney and greetings from the Czech Republic, thanks for all your sharings, passions, great tips. You inspired me to create my first moss polls, I extended the first one today. One simple and maybe silly question: how are you doing it with bottles to water them, i did one hole into the cap but once it runs out of air it stops the water to go out from the bottle. Thanks for your advice in advance, Petra
Love these videos! I learned so much from seeing these specific issues addressed. Just a thought, I wonder if some are confusing algae with mold on the moss poles.
Mmm good call!! Maybe they are :O thanks!!
@lorifenner4048 exactly my thoughts - maybe confusing algae with molds.
The whole constantly trying to find faster and more efficient ways to do things is very much something I do too. It's almost like a game I play without realizing. It may be from my German side of the family/bloodline (I am half Irish half German).
I definitely think it’s the German in me haha :D
I’m in zone 7. Bathurst here. Central tablelands, New South Wales. Cooler temperature and I’m currently building a cheap Bunnings greenhouse for inside because it gets frosty here and can potentially snow 😅. One day I’ll get the IKEA cabinet similar to what you have❤
Excellent videos!
My marble Queen on a moss pole is sizing up really nicely, BUT the variegation is going back to just solid green. I give it plenty of light next to a big East window, supplemented by Mother™️ grow light. Humidity between 60-80%. Do I have to chop it back or will the variegation return?
Thanks!!!
Lol in the winter where I lived, I often struggled with single digit humidity
Hi! I have a little question but I'm not sure where it's best to ask, so maybe under that tips & tricks video is ok. I have a pretty basic Monstera deliciosa that I need to repot. It was from a baby propagation from a friend. I have 3 stem in 1 pot for now, can I repot 2 of those together with a moss pole to have a fuller plant in the futur or is it better to have only 1 stem in a pot. Thank you!! Learning so much from your videos keep them coming! ( 40F from Montreal ( Quebec/Canada) already went to Sydney ones, beautiful city!
In Chicago IL, we'd have the same issue with different climates. Lake side vs the rest of us 😂
Great video. Love the Oxalis in camera shot. I have the Triangularis and a few other varieties. Have you tried propergating from rhe stem. Put your fingers as low to the soil as you can and slowly pull until it breaks away from the corm in the soil. Place in water just covering the base of the leaf. Takes a while and not every one roots but keep trying. Love ❤️ from Western Australia
Thank you :)
Ida, very good. Tall moss poles for your young plants. Jan will be please🎉🎉🎉
Ida here. It was a great decision cuz the siltepecana already needs an extension. And a few others will need one soon. 😊
loves to Brad🥰 & to you ,Jan.
Thank you:)
13:30 Probably minute pirate beetles/Orion beetles, Super effective against thrips, One of those bugs kills like +40 thrips a day i belive and their offspring eats the larvae in the soil too.
I had thrips on my plants a while back but bought a pack of these beetles, After that I haven't seen a single thrip and once they fed on them all, they kind of die out.
Self maintaining pesticide, Give it a try Jan!
I should :)
Where is Tim?! Love the vibe of you two together.
Big video with him coming up soon :)
Hoi Jan,
NL stands for the Netherlands. I also live there and am now setting up my first moss pole, greetings to Brett
The figurines are used cuz they're cute!
Can you do a video of all of your ugly (but still beautiful) plants. PLEASE by the way I am Barrett.
Her Barrett :) sure:)
That slow release of water to a dehydrated pole makes sense to me, if I pour water straight through heavily it just soaks the substrate at the bottom, I came to the realization that slow release will moisten the moss more so
My Decirsivas are growing at a snails pace!! I’ve had the plant for a year, I chopped and propped and overgrown hanging basket of it and stuck one on a plank as an experiment…. Only potted them up this last winter, not much growth yet
The little figurines in people’s plants are little tree spirits in Studio Ghibli’s Japanese animation movies, they glow in the dark
Canadas temps are Celsius, speed is in kilometres etc
Thanks :)
with my two syngoniums (Mojito and Variegata) - I have my grown on a moss pole. They've reached 2m now, have huge leaves and the roots are almost as thick as my fingers. As for Syngonium Red Arrow - it is about 1m now but the leaves dont get any bigger and it looses leaves all the time.
French guy has relly cool collection❣
Everyone talks about how to supplement light; supplementing heat is pretty obvious, but it’s not as easy to supplement humidity. And if it is …. Nobody has told me an easy way to do so. Would love to hear more about how people supplement humidity for a big plant setup
Humidifiers would be the straight forward answer. I personally have so many moss poles that the water evaporating from them boost the humidity :)
2:00:56 Canada uses Celsius, so I'm guessing that's what she's using. But it doesn't actually matter because -40C = -40F exactly.
Well I just learned something, I thought Mamei was a climber, it’s on a pole and is climbing beautifully! And each leaf is bigger than the previous one! I’m not telling her she’s really a crawler…she might get confused. Can’t believe I didn’t realize this, I feel so dumb now…😜
I actually have my Birkin on a mospole for almost a year. It climbed around 20 cm high and don´t show leaf upsize:) But it root into the pole and I think it has a advantage from this. Maybe it will upsize for me this summer:)
The US has wildly different climates and temps. No one can blame anyone for not knowing state by state how things are. For example my state has bright, hot, humid summers and cold winters with not much snow and some sun. One state over the winters are brutal, tons of snow and dark with short spans of warm summers. The state below me is hot almost all year with very mild winters, and high humidity. It can literally vary state to state. California is humid, warm and bright for most of it. The state next to it is mostly desert. The state above it gets very little sun, rains all the time, etc. It can be a challenge to figure out the right conditions for plants here. Especially in states like mine where the humidity swings wildly from season to season even inside. I love hearing helpful tips and seeing how other people take care of their plants. If not for our winters I could leave tropical plants outside here and they would thrive lol. In some states it's warm enough but they have no humidity like we do here.
I don't drink that much juice. Lol 🤭
😅😅
I think also a small pot can be helpfull if you want More roots in your Pole :)
Good point !!!:)
Yes, please, more of it is always the way to go!
These figures are from Ghibli Studio anime films where they represent the tree spirits (named Kodama), the offspring of old trees. They typically glow in the dark and symbolize a healthy forest when present.
That’s so sweet :) thanks for letting me know
I have bunch of Monsteras, cacti and succulents. That's because they are easy to take care of and don't die dramatically like other inferior plants. I hate future garbage. Rarely I try a plant again after it died on me. Philodendron Micans is my top philodendron right now because never gave me any trouble. I grow it in sun, in shade, even in dog food container without drainage hole.
❤❤❤❤
I have learnt i really dislike keeping moss poles. Would anyone know of any good alternatives to then in Australia. Was thinking wood planks. But not sure what type of wood to use.
Try iron bark wood :) but be aware that once your plant has outgrown the plank you’re kinda ‘stuck’ 🤷🏻♂️ but better than no plants at all, right ?:P
Good question. I’m exploring options myself. I’m from North Queensland. I’m thinking of untreated pines from Bunnings but also thinking of wires wrapped in jute ropes. I’m visualising for the purpose of support and aesthetics.
Can you repot a pothos in soil to a moss pole set up?
Yes:)
😻
To reply to your question about what these little figurines are that you’ve seen around on the internet: they’re forest spirits from a studio Ghibli movie! Their movies portray nature really beautifully and peacefully so I personally think it suits the feeling my plants give as well. They’re glow in the dark so that’s pretty fun too 😌
Lol its expensive for us from Oz to go to Brazil, however half of Brazil is here😅
Haha :D
❤
💜💜
Where do you want this videos? On instagram or here? Why dont i see it, whyyyyyyyyyy 😂
Something Ive been wondering; why does there seem to be less leaves on moss poles? Is it because the leaves are larger so less are produced? Is it possible to have large & leafy plants on moss poles? Also leaves on all sides: do you just manipulate the stems with nodes around the pole?
Don’t rhink that’s actually true. You’re probably comparing a lush hanging basket with 5-6 shoots to a single shoot on a pole. And yes you can grow as many shoots up a pole as you want to make it lush:)
@@sydneyplantguyAh okay. It’s the number of stems. Thank you.
🧡🐱🌱
😻😻😻😻😻😻
i have many plants from monstera deliciosa to bananas
Those things in the pots are mini humidifiers, Yeah, I know 😂
Are you from Germany?
Yes :)
👬what happened to the rugosum?
It’s got one leaf left hehe
Can you settle a debate I have had with someone? I put my Ring of Fire on a moss pole because I saw yours on one.. someone told me it’s not a climber. I notice yours isn’t on a moss pole now.. 😅 or is it? I can’t really tell
It is on a pole, and it is a climber, but climbs with very very small internodal spacing so you don’t really need a pole :)
I'm sorry if this offensive but I honestly love scars and the stories they tell about life....(they are a part of our individual journeys), but I've noticed that you have a patch in your beard that doesn't grow...again I'm sorry if it is an offensive inquisitive comment/question. I have learned while most people enjoy talking about scars, some find it quite offensive. I have many scars and actually enjoy telling their stories when someone is brave enough to ask...
You're all good ! It's a scar from when I had a mole removed when I was a teenager
