I hope you learned something from the video! It was a crazy process and my first pole chop but I'm happy with how it turned out. I filmed this Sunday and so far it seems to be doing well. Some slight yellowing on the bottom leaves but it's a picky plant so I expect some shock to happen. I'll keep you updated! ☺
You made that way more difficult than it could be lol. Rather than overlapping the pole and losing height, you can just attach the pole to the green rod.
Wow, a successful operation by Doctor Melissa! You did a very good job explaining the logic behind all the steps you took for the polectomy and that really helps neophytes like myself learn. I think that the metal mesh has a better appearance than the plastic and it seems to be easier to work with as well because of its bendability. I’ll be looking forward to seeing updates about the health of the patient. Thanks much.
Aw thank you! Haha polectomy 😆😆😆 I love the metal just harder to cut and bend but it’s worth it for more stability ☺️ hoping it survives okay some slightly yellowing on the bottom leaves so a little shock but looking forward to seeing how it does for me 🙏🏼
It looks great! It should not shock! You will be pro in no time :)a trailing basket will be nice for the rest....they will both make for nice updates...see you soon
Definitely very helpful, thank you! 💚🙌 I was having some declining adonsonii leaves at the base of my pole.. so I chopped from the top, I’m propergating in nutrient water, and will add back to mother plant in hopes for a full climber... Some day I may chop in half to add another pole and encourage larger leaves 💚🪴🪴😊
Thank you so much! I’m really glad it was helpful! I wished I had started more cuttings in this one from the beginning but it was one of my first poles I did so it was definitely a learning experience. It was scary to chop it but if it does okay then I know I can do it and so can others! ☺️🙏🏼
I can’t wait to get my moss poles ready for my Aroid Market plants that are on the way. I also seen this done by a few other channels. You make it look so easy Thanks for the video!!!!
When you chop what do you usually do with the bottom half for other chops? Do you now have two of the poled up plant or is it always worth just propagating the bottom half
The plastic is too wobbly. As the plant grows and gets larger leaves it’s hard for plastic to support the weight especially if you extend the pole. Hardware cloth is more stable. I’ve really enjoyed using plastic but after having extended multiple plastic poles it just won’t cut it for my plant goals 🙏🏼
It's doing well! I show it on my instagram a lot :) I have about 4 new leaves on top and they're slightly sizing up. It went through some shock though and lost a few leaves but happy to see it growing!
The plant will outgrow the current pole so you have to extend on top to allow it to continue growing. The original pole is too wobbly being plastic so I can’t extend again or it will fall over 😊

It looks healthy and think it will grow very fast soon with such good roots.

Thank you so much! Hoping for the best! I know how picky this one can be. Thanks for watching and I’ll definitely do updates on it! 🥰

Good job!! Looks so great! Mine is growing soooo fast so I’m definitely going to have to get supplies and get mine on a pole STAT!
Thank you so much!! I love having them climb and seeing each new leaf is so exciting! 🥰
Cool love that plant!,❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Loving your videos ☺️ . Lot's of love from India 🇮🇳
Thank you! 🥰

Where can i get the metal mesh to make the pole ? I only see the plastic version . Thanks
Thank You

Thumbs up for the bravery
Thank you! ❤️
Why did you chose to switch to metal? just curious 🤨
The plastic is too wobbly. As the plant grows and gets larger leaves it’s hard for plastic to support the weight especially if you extend the pole. Hardware cloth is more stable.

Where do you get your clear pots?
They're off amazon, I can link some of my Clear pots here for you :) www.amazon.com/shop/plantsbymelissa/list/2Q7LRSOZIGHH7
Any update on the chop and extend?
It's doing well! I show it on my instagram a lot :) I have about 4 new leaves on top and they're slightly sizing up. It went through some shock though and lost a few leaves but happy to see it growing!
if you have a rope inside the moss pole it will dry out eventually. you just dont have to water is as much
👌👌👌🤗🤗🤗💚💚💚🌿🌿🌿🌿
Thank you! 🥰🥰
Why would you do this? I personally want mine taller, you could have added another plant to make it fuller, I just don’t understand
The plant will outgrow the current pole so you have to extend on top to allow it to continue growing. The original pole is too wobbly being plastic so I can’t extend again or it will fall over 😊
I’m sharing my experience and that’s it to help others. You don’t have to agree with what I do or choose to do with my plants 😊
Thank you for explaining. I was just wondering
