When I first started using poles I thought it was just about some thing to climb. The idea of making it an extension of the pot was really helpful in my understanding of how they really work. 😁
I've started collecting philadendrons and monsteras a few months ago, and i knew that eventually, i'd had to give them moss poles, but they are so expensive, and i was worried what I'd do when they outgrow them. This series was a true eye opener, and has completely changed my view on plant care. Especially this moss pole making video is so easy and great! Thank you for these videos!
@@sydneyplantguy I have recently seen ppl eating the monstera fruits from the tv series naked and afraid. Would love to try...both some day. Anyone else try this fruit/flower??
I'm so happy you started a youtube channel! This video was very informative. earlier I have used a recommended plastic net packed with moss and like you said they have all started looking like the leaning tower of pisa! Great video, definitely suscribed:)
OK. You’ve convinced me. You’re also why I have so many climbing philodendron trickling in since watching your videos. I’ve always had a plant problem, you’ve just enabled it. Great Videos. Quick. Easy to understand. Great information. And plant porn!
my moss pole works so well for my monstera. she attaches so many roots to it, and already has 2 leaves with fenestrations at such a young age. your beautiful plants made me want more of my climbers to grow on moss poles, so im gonna make some for them 💚
Thank you for this, was wondering how people with plants that tall bought moss poles online when they are expensive. Now I know, and now I know they are very simple and easy to make. Will be buying mesh for sure, already own ultra compacted sphagnum so I’m set there for a bit. Also going to be redoing my coco coir ones that I bought, with sphagnum. Thinking they will work better then.
You have grown just like your moss polls, as I knew you would! Dry attractive, humorous and intelligent! I’ve been watching since the start and do everything you tell me! Tip: Call Fiji water for sponsorship! 🌱
Oh now this looks like an easy moss pole! I'd actually bought the 25mm mesh for a different project (planter pockets on trees with felt inserts) but will exchange it for the 12.5mm! You can't get big leaves without aerial roots, & I've been meaning to do a moss pole for this reason (had a 5m long M. adansonii, leaves still small!). I remember how huuuuge pothos leaves got up palm trees where I used to live, they looked like whitish split monsteras! I'm still concerned that for my home/porch that the moss may dry out too fast, seeing as I'm not in a humid sub/tropical climate (Melbourne here although getting more bouts of humid subtropical), but hopefully less than if the moss was wrapped around a solid pole. And it looks way easier just to pour the water in from the top than to mist it or wick it or whatever. And I assume with this method the pole can be externally staked if it's extended. And it's not ugly (to me)! Thanks! Great plants! Now to make moss poles for my narrow, adansonii, hoya, dragontail, & anything else creeping indoors I haven't killed yet.
Great information, yes plant's are growing more beautiful when they're have similar condition like they have in the nature, i like so much how you are speaking in english, greetings from Serbia ! 💚💚💚💚💚
Thank you so much for your content . I have been inspired to make your version of moss poles and to date have made 3. Soo excited to see my plants grow up!
Thanks for the valuable tutorial. I'm new to aroids but not new to tropicals and subtropicals. I view a variety of house plant videos and I wondered why I saw so many moss poles. Years ago I attended an orchids seminar, which began by saying that orchids aren't difficult; they're different. I characterize the difference is orchid roots (through velumen layer) absorb water differently than terrestrial plants having root hairs. I suppose my orchid experience will help if I invest in aroids. Your plants are amazing; so many channels on house plants have a backdrop of shelves and shelves of juvenile 12" plants and cuttings; your collection is impressive, with your floor-to-ceiling scale! I just subscribed so I look forward to future enriching videos!
I'm so excited to make my first pole today and how much my monstera variegata will love it. I'm super addicted to your videos. Great content, great plants, everything's great haha Much love from germany ❤❤❤❤❤
i'm so glad i came across your videos on moss poles and growing your monstera adansonii! i thought they naturally creep downwards and had no idea they creepy upwards too! now i can't wait to put in place the tips you shared!
You rock. Like for real - i love to suck up every bit of information you provide. Soon ill start to do my own moss poles. I have to order the moss online, none of my local shops has them. So excited!
@@sydneyplantguy Do you ever took a plant out of the pole and put it in a pot? If so, why and could you show us? If the poleroots are waterroots wouldnt it be better to use mineral Substrat and not your aroid Mix?
We’re becoming spoiled brats now😀 O get so excited waking up this morning to a RUclips notification of your new upload. Thank you! Keep it coming sir. Huge fan here from Vancouver Canada 🙏🏽
Wow...thank you so so much. I'm doing this exactly the way you've shared. You're amazing...and so so kind to share all your experience. Its crucial for us all. Thanks again. Love from the UK.
Thanks mate for this video .I’m going to make some straight away for my plants.I love the Bunnings spagnum moss too.it’s expensive though I think 37 dollars is a bit expensive but worth it for our beautiful plants.
OMG that is so true, doing one at the time I am less likely to do the next one. I will do a few next season like you :) What a clever idea, and yes same mess in the end haha. Thank you for another awesome videos!
Thanks heaps for this video!! Followed your instructions and made a bunch of moss poles today. As someone who didn't even own a wire cutter 🙂 getting this done with your guidance was super easy. Appreciate all your efforts in making these videos
I'm not sure how he makes it look so easy but my experience has been very different. I can not get mine to stand up straight and watering with the water bottle is virtually impossible because it's so top-heavy, and it needs watered much more often than other plants because it dries out so quickly. I'm glad it works for him and hope it does for you, but I have to try a different approach.
Thank you for your videos. I just recently started growing Monsteras, and I just didn't care for the expensive yet seemed cheap poles available. Thank you so much for your videos. You are awesome, and so are your plants.
I am so happy that you started a youtube channel, this video has been very helpful and very informative thank you for sharing your knowledge! I will definitively make a few moss poles to support my plants! ☺🤗
So many DIY videos have some hidden schtick or sales thing in there, but this was perfect! Simple, genuine, not salesy or pushy. Gorgeous plants, gorgeous video, and also, gorgeous human
Very useful, thank you! My philodendrons really need it (I have about 15 of them without support 🙈), and I need to make them myself. Those ready made ones are too expensive for me. Saying hi from Czech Republic.
This is a revolutionary technique and I hope you get the credit for it. Just can't help thinking the look of filling the big moss pole looks like a giant joint. You can turn a whole generation on the new green drug, houseplants for the win :).
He is even honest about it :). But you explained it very well. I would be very interested in seeing a video with recommended books or papers on the subject :). Thanks!
Very informative! 👏 👌 I bought a Monstera Deliosia last September and she has quadrupled in size. I bought what I thought would be a good pole... (coir) None of her aerial roots can penetrate it. So I'm hoping to find some like yours or I'll make them myself. Thank you!

It’s like rolling the biggest blunt
Pretty much :D

Sphagnum moss is so expensive. I’m going to go broke if I bought that big block of sphagnum haha

Hehe thanks :)
Love the food references.. you obviously love your food as much as you love your plants🥰
Who doesn’t ?:D
Best videos I have found on how to make, install and top my monstera. Thank you!!
Glad it helped!:)
You sir are the reason I am starting to do moss poles! Cannot wait to see some big growth! Cheers from Seattle, WA USA
Happy growing:)
Thank you , I will make now exactly the same moss pole for my plants 🌱
I just brought the albo monstera so now I'm committed to FINALLY caving in and putting her up on a pole. Thank you for finally convincing me!
Happy growing :)
Loved this one. I also loved that you explained that the aroid roots turned to water roots, there for ready to propagate at any time. Smarty party!
Thanks :)
Thank you so much for this excellent video!!! 🍃
Thank you so much for sharing, very informative, more vlogs, stay safe, watching from Balagtas Bulacan.phils.

Video anda menginspirasi saya untuk melakukan hal yg sama untuk philo ku , terima kasih

Well, thanks for the support :)
@@sydneyplantguy ♥️
Thank you for sharing the idea, It helps my plants a lot. I love DIY. So natural ❤
Have you ever tried adding chunky pieces to the sphagnum moss ie coconut husk, leca, bark, etc. for aeration?
Man… your attention to detail is amazing! Also the fact you reply to all the comments, I’m smitten new fav plant RUclipsr 😂
Thank you :)
Awesome ❤. I was searching this since you said you posted this. Thanks
