Am I the only one that just can’t stop staring at the Manjula HUGE leaves and just absolutely gorgeous Rings of Fire. Your videos are so motivating to use your methods of growing vertical plants. Thank you for sharing your plants progress!
Thank you so much :)
Ugh I love it when Brad talks back! It’s the cutest thing! I can’t stand the cuteness! I can’t stand it so much that all my sentences have exclamation points! Ugh!
he is the sweetest :D
Brad's tail ❤ so focused on following him that I wasn't listening to you, Jan. Had to rewind and watch again. 😂
Haha can't blame you for that :P I get distracted by him all the time :P
i love seeing this experimental side of you! i love how you’re just trying something new and see if it works even if you are a little bit unsure/nervous :’)
it really shows there is always something new to learn !
Keeps the hobby interesting :)
I’m riveted to your every word…until Brad walks into the picture!
🐈❤
he always steals the show :P
Aww Love both of handsome Brad and cute plants❤
Thanks :)
The huge new leaves of your pothos in the back though 🤯
The manjula is thriving !!!
Always happy to see a new video up!!!
Thanks for your support :)
It's always fun for me when I've watched someone from their very first video bc their personality is kind of slowly revealed over time. I love getting to see all the silly moments and more of a live thought process. Your videos are so enjoyable to watch along with being super informative and helpful 😊❤
Thank you Lauren :) definitely slowly warming up to the camera hehe :)
Creative the way you adjusted the pole to fit the plant. Looking fwd to see the update. Thanks for sharing Jan!
Thanks :)
Excellent advise, My el choco should be arriving tomorrow.
Thank you!! Happy growing :)
You are a generous friend! I can’t take my eyes off your manjula! It just looks more beautiful each time I see it.
Thanks :)
Moos pole without a pot! You gave me the idea for a lightweight solution to hang up crawlers: just hang the moos pole horizontal. Thanks for your creativity.
Sounds like a good idea :)
Thanks again for reminding us to be flexible in growing methods and no one size fits all. Diversity is key to successful growth and learning what works for each individual situation.😻
So true !!! there is more flexibility than a lot of people believe there is :)
luv this process
Thanks :)
Absolutely love your videos, always a great learning experience. Thank you for sharing ❤
22:22 You almost said something else 😂
Great results,and they look great!
💚☘️🌱🌵💚
Thanks :)
Omg for a split second I was horrified and thought it was a brad-skin rug.
😅😅
😂😂😂😂
😂😹
Brad is always gonna be there, alive or a-rug...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just brill Jan! A cost effective choice too 😅 Am loving the new opening to your channel, esp Brad's jingling ears at the end 😆 And I think your set up in your new place looks good. Maybe a desk light when we start getting the greyer days (or when filming at night) but so far we've had such bright sunny days it's perfect 👌🏼
Thank you :)
100% agree on getting small plants on poles. Tho I literally decided against that for a new anthurium coz it would size up too fast and I am running out of space!!!! ❤ the chocco red! Can’t wait to see progress.
Just starting watching your video - light is just fine! I love it that Brad is upfront
Thank you :) isn’t he just the cutest!!!
@@sydneyplantguy yes he is! I watch you channel for plants, but started enjoying seeing Brad - he was so cute trying to play with your grow vertical pole while you were filming 🥰
Very helpful, was wondering what to do with smaller plants. Thanks for sharing!
I am so glad you explained that about the new leaves coming out of petioles when immature. Because I had observed that on all my Anthuriums but always wondered if it was a growth pattern response to conditions. Can’t believe I didn’t realise it was maturity. 🤦♀️
Brad 🥹 new intro is lookin good too! Always excited when you post videos 😁🌿💚 hope you are well!
Thank you :)
Mycket intressant tack för bra videos😊🙏❣
Beautiful plants you have…..wow amazing
thank you for this video☺💚🙏🌿
Nice work Jan 💫
Thank you :)
Beautiful plant. It is growing so fast. Brad is so cute. I love your videos. I learn something new from each of them. “ I don’t want to disturb it “ as you take a big handful off the top. 😂😂😂😂
Thank you :)
I have an El Choco that I bought almost 6 months ago and it’s the same size. In fact I spent money on a second one because I was struggling so much. I am now going to by a grow vertical because you inspired me.
Happy growing !! :)
Another great video. Thanks ❤
Thank you :)
Love this! I am inclined to try it with my verrucosum that is still in a 3” pot. It would be interesting to see what happens🤔🤔🤔
Maybe a pipe cap would work on the bottom? They're generally lightweight and can catch the water.
good idea :)
Google and found for $80 wohoo. Didn’t realised its out on the Aussie market. Wait for this for years
Yes it’s finally available at a decent price !!!
haha your happy little dance made me lol!
My plants are starting to grow really fast once I staked the climbers. Time to get the bits n peices to make some poles.
I’d to come to your space with my sweet iced tea and just soak in the view of the plants 🪴 😊💚
Looks good 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks :)
I do the same thing, but I just stick them in little plastic walmart cups that I water. Essentially bottom waters the pole.
Great call!!
That celebration boogey when you put the plant in the cabinet 🥰🥰🙌
Love it when theory works out perfectly in practice !!
@@sydneyplantguy 🥰
Thanks
Im gonna start watching these videos with a bottle of tequila next to me and take a shot every time he says “the proof is in the pudding”😂😂😂😂
Haha yes please !!!
time for a tour
Updated tour is definitely coming soon :)
That Manjula......😮
Love your videos!! Can you recommend any cheaper plant lights? I live in AUS
Sorry i only recommend based on experience and I haven’t tried any other option
Im super interested to see how the moss pole only approach goes. Im considering hanging a couple of moss pole only plants on the walls of my living room 🤞
I'll keep you updated :)
Jan...😊😍 SO BEAUTIFUL COLOUR!..💓..First thing first, the green and red color of the new leaf attracted my attention!..(also the red stem..) 😍..They are soo Beautiful!. The new leaf Pattern is soo Nice as well. I love watching this Video because I can watch the progress of your El Choco Red.. and It started to show its BEAUTY!!..😍💓.. Jan...😊 Thank you soo much for sharing this Interisting Experience!..and I love watching the Happy Ending!.😍..It's time to take care of Brad, the Cutest!.😻🐈. We love you, Brad!.❤️.. HAPPY CARING AND LOVING!!..💞💓💐🌈🌸🥰💚😻🐈🤗😊...
Thank you :)
@@sydneyplantguy Jan...😊 My Pleasure!..❤️😍 I'm looking forward to watching the next progress of your El Choco Red...because of using NEW Experiment ( in your IKEA Cabinet ). I'm imagining its Mature Leaves on the moss pole...climbing Beautifully!..😍.. HAPPY GROWING!..💞💓💐🌈🌸🥰💚🤗😊...
Hi bro....ive started to follow u... Thanks for the info that u provide.... I'm from India... N have love for aroid plants... Pottix mix video was awesome.... I hope coco husk is available over here... Tc... ❤
😂 The magic shake after placing the el chocol pope in the cabinet 🎉
Another awesome informative video. Can't wait to see the big leaves to come 🌿
Thank you :)
Thank you for your wonderful videos. We have order some beautiful aroids from Indonesia. I was just wondering if we really need a cabinet with a humidifier to start these plants or will do okay with the moss pole, the aroid mixture your recommended and the clonex solution. We live near the ocean in central California and so the humidity is quite well. Thank you so much for any of your wonderful experienced advice!
You don’t need it but especially after plants have gone through shock due to shipping a high humidity enviornment can help them recover quickly
You’ve made it, AG1 sponsored you.
Hehe 💁🏻♂️
Did you get the el choco red from flora magnifica? They sent me one, I love it!
Yes :)
Love your vids! Where can I buy the plastic backing or what is it called?
Check out the description :)
Nice bro 💚
Thanks :)
Thanks for this experiment! I planned to do this too, so it's nice to see that the expert tries it as well!:) I myself have a pixelgarden in my bathroom (it's a type of greenwall), but I want the sides to be 2 poles:) so when the plant will reach the top, cut it in 2, hang the upper pole lower and put a new one on top:) if that makes sense xd. Curious what your experiment will result in!
Sounds like a plan!! Will definitely update you all
Love your videos, love to see you try some coconut fibre mix in your poles.
Thanks :) I have a video where I tried coco chips in my poles & compared it to moss … it’s in my moss pole playlist :)
@@sydneyplantguy I think he maybe meaning tree fern fibre. I’d also like to see what you think about it if you try it in a pole. (It doesn’t fall out everywhere, promise)
@@angemarie2201 ah yeah. That's what I meant. Tree fern fibre mixed with other stuff.
@@richardportelli1983 I have it in 2 poles on its own, well 1 pole and 1 grow vertical. Game changer!!
Wow, that's a very pretty plant. Do you use fertilizer with every water?
Yes :) you can find more info on my fertiliser in the description
I wonder if cutting the vines apart would encourage the smaller shoot to take off as much as the main one. I really enjoyed this video, as always 🙂
Cutting the smaller vines will most likely just provide the plant with more energy for the main vine, however, given every node roots into the pole, they don't share the same root system anyway so most likely has no significant impact :)
@@sydneyplantguy I was thinking that in many plants the highest shoot is the one a plant focuses its energy on and if the smaller ones weren't attached to the big one they might be more 'motivated' to grow. Either way it's really exiting how much the plant has taken off!
How do you keep the moss pole attached to the pot?
as soon as i said aww i can't see lol you moved the camera 😂
What do you think would be the best way to get a climbing plant like philodendron splendid or pothos to take to a moss pole? I have one in my splendids' pot but it hasn't shown any attempt of growing roots into the moss at all... and advice appreciated!😀
Keep the pole moist… roots are attrackted to humidity/moisture :)
What you fertiliser manjula to huge leaves?
What do you think about these "self watering" mosspole method ? Is it good to keep a mosspole moist or is it important to let it dry a bit ?
Flipping a bottle upside down every now and then sounds self-watering enough for me :)
Another great video! Your subscriber count really jumped! Obviously due to your great content, but I say Brad's appearances certainly help 😻
Thank you :)
Nice video as always, Jan 🥰
Do you watch the Eurovision Song Contest? Australia is represented by a German expat this year, so I instantly had to think about you 😂
Thanks :) oh, I had no idea !!! Why is australia even part of the eurovision?! :D haha
@@sydneyplantguy I think it's because your Australian broadcaster 'SBS' was so obsessed with Eurovision and they've broadcasted it for more than 40 years, so in 2015 they got invited to participate as a special guest for the 60th anniversary of the contest, but then they kept participating haha 😂
If you're interested in doing some non-plant-related content, I would love for you to make a reaction video 🥰 The 2nd semifinal (the one that Australia is in) will take place on the 11th of May and the Grand Final of the 13th of May 😊 Of course only if you're interested in music at all. Eurovision fans will give you tons of views, let me tell you 😅
❤
Amazing video as always Jan!
How is it that your Mother Light has a nice, warm yellowy light but mine is all white and cold? 😅
Thanks :) the light in my ikea cabinet is not from mother, however, by mother lights are also nice and warm. Maybe the camera makes them look even warmer than they are in real life but I believe the light spectrum for them should always be the same
@@sydneyplantguy Thanks for the reply! I guess it’s the camera then since it’s exactly the same light.
PS: I’m now also growing plants on Grow Vertical just like you are and they seem to love it. I just wanted to say thanks for all the information you put out there! :)
I live in WA, so hard to get the rarer or more interesting plants here through quarantine! where did you order from?
Check out Flora Magnifica on IG :) they are WA based :)
@@sydneyplantguy Yes! I've been ordering from them just recently. It may be a drip feed but finally some rarer plants! I love a challenge and all your vids inspire me!
What sheets do you use as a backing for the sphagnum pole? do you have the link where to buy it?
Yes, it's in the description :)
I have a question, what about moisture in you apartment? I just build my fisrt one and i have to water it every day with ~200ml water. How can i prevent it from drying so fast?
Approx 60%
Food? 😸 Meow!
Isn’t he just the cutest!!! Glad you watched till the end :)
How do you keep your cat from disturbing your plants? As always good video!!!
Thanks :) he’s just nit interested :P
Where do you find the plastic backing? I would like to try this type of moss pole. Hopefully this will help trap in moisture.
It's a grow vertical moss pole so it already comes with the plastic backing. There a loads of tutorials online on DIYing these kinds of moss poles though and you should be able to find the backing in hardware stores and also online
If you don't want to make them yourself you can buy them using the link in the description :)
What if your pole dries out and after idk 4/5 days you water it again? Does it damages the roots or something or is it harmless? Because mine are drying out sooo fast and I don’t water them every day. And I’m also afraid, that the substrate gets to moist and I get fungus gnats again.(Sorry for my maybe bad English, I’m from Germany)
Treat the pole like you'd treat a potting medium, it can dry out a bit between watering, but if it dries out too much, you are risking root rot when then watering again :)
How do you think about self watering mospoles?
Haven’t tried them because too much effort to make them, and then maintain them theough chop & extends. The one I use work a treat so i’m not fixing what’s not broken
I really want to know about the soil mixture. Where I can buy them please 🙏🙏🙏
I have an aroid mix video. I make it myself :)
🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴
Without a pot!!! Jan you've gone off the rails. Next thing you know you're gonna turn Brad into a moss pole!!
What kind of plastic do you use for These moospoles? Do you have a Video for this kind?
I get them from Grow Vertical :) linked in description
"Look at this sexy backside!" 😆😂👌
I'm on dilemma , which one should I get philo sharoniae vs monstera delisiosa var both are same price and have huge leafs ?
PS I'm only getting one not both 😢
I’d go with the philo :)
Just get neither, Wait until you can find a plant that you can't debate on
Have you had any problems with fungus nats?..if so how'd you deal with it
Hey, I don't use 'potting soil' and have good airflow, so no gnats :)
@@sydneyplantguy honestly havent thought bout that one..thanks for bringing that to my attention🤘🤙
I just watched The Lecca Queen’s video made 8 months ago . She said that using sphagnum moss poles was a lousy idea. So she’s now suggesting using a tree fern fiber moss pole. What’s your opinion on this ?
Her house is filled with moss poles … not sure why she would say something like that :D i use TFF and Moss, both work but TFF is way too messy to use indoors.
@@sydneyplantguy thanks for the quick reply. In your opinion, would it be better to use planks instead of moss ? In Malaysia I can get cheap meranti plank . I think that’s hardwood.
Bdw, Lecca Queen replied me and explained that inspite of the cons of using the moss pole, she accepted them and still continued to use sphagnum moss.
you changed the game entirely, you are the pro of pro’s 🎉 but is it not too close to the light now?
❤❤❤😘😘!good to see you again take care🪴🌼🌞🌼happy planting 🪴🪴🪴🌱🌿🌿🌵🌵
Thank you :) you too!!
Would you suggest growing a queen on a pole?
Yes :)
@@sydneyplantguy alright, here we go! Thank you for nudge I needed.
Over the last months I discovered the roots of some plants that wanted to grow into the moss just became black and moldy. Don't know what I am doing wrong here - always slightly wet moss, air circulation, 20 degrees and sunlight >.
mmm interesting, I have not observed that before. It would usually mean a lack of airflow but you mentioned air is circulating ....
@@sydneyplantguy Thanks a lot for your response. Maybe I only think airflow is sufficient, but maybe it is not. Let's see, I will try and improve that :)
2024: Growing without a plant 🤣🤣🤣
Challenge accepted !!
What what what what is that variegated friend in front of the right side of the wall painting? Is that a manjula? I’m in denial
Yes it is :)
Are you completely using the grow vertical poles now instead of the ones you make yourself?
No I use both types :)
@@sydneyplantguy Thanks! What makes you determine which type to use for a given plant?
✨💖✨🤗🐾😻🐾
How did you know it was thrips?
I saw them :P
I brought home a Monstera D. and just noticed this morning, it's infested with aphids! 😱
What do I DO? Will they spread to my other plants?! Anyone?
Hey, I have never dealt with aphids so I can't help, sorry
@@sydneyplantguy I looked it up. A few tablespoons of dish soap in a pint of water sprayed on the leaves is the remedy. Of course, I've used that before. It's the holy grail for insect control, it says. Keep a close eye on your outside plant babies! I have this one near a window I open for airflow, that's how they got in.
@@sydneyplantguy Maybe infested is too strong a word. If there's a few bugs on the plant you can just rinse them off. You do that on a regular basis anyway, so no worries. 🌿💚🪴
Hi baby
Cute pink roots, sexy backside too 😊. Probably not applicable for little one going back into cabinet, but could you do an extension on a grow vertical? I think Brad loves to sit around and listen to you talking. Nice meowing on cue too ❤
Yes, you can totally extend a grow vertical. I did if for the first time the other days and it worked a treat :) It will be in a future video soon :)
"Sexy backside" 😂
How old is ur Manjula pothos?
I think it’s 2ish years old now
What you fertiliser manjula to huge leaves?
