- I've been growing plants on planks for a around a year now and I have finally found the perfect way for me! So, I thought I would share these tips with you all to try out 🌿

You read my mind! And you’re not rambly. I am rambling my comments everywhere! Haha. But planks really are superior to moss poles, because as the plant gets bigger, you can easily attach another and make an even bigger support! Whether you nail it on or screw, glue, silicone, etc.
Something else - and this isn’t directed at you, but you reminded me - tree trunks & bark aren’t naturally constantly moist, not even in the equatorial nations where these plants originate. There is some level of drying that takes place. That’s when aerial roots really can get to work and attach. If you feel the tips of aerial roots, on any plant (even succulents), they’re generally sticky. If a moss pole is wet, even lightly, stickiness usually is repelled by that moisture. It has a harder time sticking when it’s moist, and I think a lot of RUclipsrs freak out over moss poles remaining moist! Haha! Look to nature y’all… Of course, the roots will attach hopefully over time. But I couldn’t help but notice how all my pothos vines stuck to my kitchen walls, and rooted all over the room & ceiling, but the moss pole was less straightforward, tbh. I do feel like people overreact regarding moss poles being moist. I live in San Diego, California, and we have aroids galore, outside, on trees, on walls, some are house-sized monsteras and Thaumatophyllum (Selloum); and it only rains here a few times a year. Yet they are rooted all over other trees and walls.. So it’s not like moss poles are the godsend ppl claim they are. Or that they HAVE to be sprayed and fertilized ant ALL times! Sorry for ramble.
flat planks are the way to go! I love the idea of taping the plank to the cover pot. I’ll definitely have to try that!
I tape them to the nursery pot, makes the whole thing so much more stable and way to move around! Definitely give it a go

Wow, I thought I was alone in thinking this! That’s crazy. I thought to use the strongest packing tape possible. Avoid rot, give a little more substrate area for roots, etc. Especially the bigger the plants become. I also like my planks to be at a slight angle, backwards, not exactly vertically standing. Just me tho lol
In 2019, 2020, I was super big into repurposing items into supports for plants. Like an old broom handle, became a burlap poled monstera adansonii. An old tension curtain rod, I super glued and hot glued sphagnum to it, wrapped it in burlap, and put pothos on it. Some of those reused items were dirty or whatever, and I didn’t necessarily want it contaminating the soil. Like the curtain rod had a rusty, chipped opening on one end, and maybe it would’ve been fine, a ltle iron for the plant? But no… I thought I could wrap it in plastic and bury it, but that’s when I got the idea to tape the support.
I have been using cedar fence pickets, they are usually cheaper to purchase and since it's cedar it helps to repel rot :-)
I like the plank outside of the pots I would like to see a repotting video on those.
Sound logic, will try this with my Philodendron Splendid :)
That is a great idea! Thx I’m gonna try!
Would definitely recommend, life changer!!
I use planks as well bt you gave me good idea 😃💚
Great video,thank you
Thanks for this video! I was thinking about the square poles too, so you saved me some time there!
Smart method
What happens when they outgrow the plank, how do we extend?
I am yet to extend a plank, I can replaced with a taller one though. I simply peeled the plant off the board carefully and taped onto a taller one. Didn’t seem to disturb the growth at all!
