Unconventional for you tube content is normal for real life. Love the genuine content.😂 ETA: I just got to knocking the toolbox and spat my coffee over the screen laughing. Absolute gold. 🤣
Happy new year! I don't expect you to remember Katt Hasklaws, but she is me. I decided to make a planty YT like my IG coz I wanna upload some longer form time-lapse eventually. Anyway.... NGL, I guffawed when you caught the pot on the edge of the table. It seems like you had a right comedy of errors. I wasn't laughing at you, I was laughing with you. I know days like this and all you can do is laugh. I knocked a small pot of fern seedlings for six not long after, so karma got me. lol When I put my adansonii on the abomination of a home made pole, I added a lil coco between the aerials and the pole. Slowly, those roots have activated. Yay. I'll be glad to eventually have the funds to make a proper one. Slowly slowly. I forgot how expensive keeping plants could be. Especially on a limited fixed income. 😂
@@petevsplants7516 Cheers. I've still got to sort out my tech n such. It's been a long time since I did any videography and what tech I still have is a little old and not great. Early days. We'll get there.
I truly appreciate you showing the reality of repotting 🤣because i do all this stuff + nothing goes to plan and then i knock it over 4 times and have to clean up 5 times 🙄 The way you have gone about putting this melano on the pole is really smart and you've given me some ideas, i think if you extend it and keep doing the cling wrap over the nodes it will help it size up and build a huge new root system into the pole to then repot/extend as another plant (ala sydney plant guy method haha) My next experiment is trying a chunky aroid mix in a totem, getting philo roots out of moss is nightmare fuel. 💀
🐸🧦 Peaches, @1:12 👀 🤣I have definitely been there before; repotting a plant. immediately knocking it over. repotting again, picking it up, only to have the soil fall out. This struggle is too real! Hoping it continues to do well and size up even more for you!🤞🤞
Oh no… that totally would have happened to me… i always make a stinkin mess hahaha… you must be second clumsiest because i am definitely the first hahaha… thx for being yourself :)
Hehe good idea! :D I think it depends what you like appearance wise. The hybrids will be easier to grow and size up. The glorious is the quickest to get enormous I've heard.
O your so funny, so unique.. I couldn’t stop laughing!! Pete, put a zip tie through the bottom of pole and thread it through the bottom of pot hole, you’ll have a firmly fixed moss pole.. works a treat, Im still laughing 😂😂 thanks for entertaining us, keep up the good work.😂😂
Happy new year Pete to you and yours Erm maybe next time when you put the pole in the pot, tip the pot over the end of the moss pole then stand it up and possibly won’t loose as much substrate, if that makes any sense lol 👍. That’s the first time you try, not after you knock it over or knock it on the table 😂🤣.
Not for everyone: but when my plants finally overgrown its mosspole or i didn't put it on proper mosspole and i was too late to give it one.... I always chop it up. Start it over to grow the top cutting in the new mosspole. Then chop the bottom part into few cuttings, then in the future i can put it together with the top cutting or just simply give it away.
Grafting tape does wonders for my Melano, and I think it is somewhat easier to use than plastic wrap. Grafting tape + daily misting of taped node (air humidity is low at my place) = leaves are sizing up dramatically
I think it's just luck of the draw to some degree. I've had ones in the past that didn't grow quickly at all. I bought this one and it probably got propagated from a larger plant and had good genetics, maybe it was already adapted to the climate I'm in, and after arriving it just kept growing larger and larger (compared to my shitty other ones which still did nothing). So, if you're having a bad time with yours, maybe consider chopping and propping it and trying to 'reset' things and see if that helps.
@@konstantinasakka2429 Hey mate, not particularly. I mean, it's getting quite a bit of indirect light from a north facing window. I'd say pump it with light if you can though. I've heard that could be what helps them size up faster.
this was hilarious 🤣 but aside from that do you ever notice fungus gnats from your moss pole ? I wanted to try one but now I'm leaning more towards using a plank 🤔 thoughts ? lol
Glad to see you back Pete
Cheers, Sarah :D Happy new year!
To you as well!

Lol I'll have to do my best to be more clumsy in the future then haha
OMG, Peaches in the background, fabulous :)
Hehe she definitely loves that spot so I'll try to have her involved more frequently :D
😂 love this so much, omg when it caught on the table 🤣, first class content, helpful and entertaining, so good 😄
Awe I love peaches. She is just looking around. Content.
Lol I know. I watched this video on 2x to review it before upload and it looks like she's got ADHD or something and is watching a fly

Awesome work, Katt! Let me know how the channel goes :D Wishing you all the best hehe

Early days. We'll get there.
Your finger tips were sooo close to catching it! Yes regarding the plastic wrap, that's what I do now...looks a little ghetto but by golly it works!
I know... that's what made me even more bummed out haha missed it by that much!
I laughed so hard! The plant struggle is real!
100% lol

Thanks a lot, Kady. Glad you enjoyed it. Trying to keep it real. Let me know how you go with the poles :D
O my.. heart attack when you hit the table 😂😂😂
I know... fuck my life lol

Hehe thanks a lot mate :D
Haha… ask the kitty to help… so cute… love your videos and your melanochrysum is beautiful !!!! Thx for sharing
Also, Happy New Year to you and yours… question.. If you could only buy one btwn, the melanochrysum, splendid or glorious, which would you choose?
Oh no… that totally would have happened to me… i always make a stinkin mess hahaha… you must be second clumsiest because i am definitely the first hahaha… thx for being yourself :)
Hehe good idea! :D I think it depends what you like appearance wise. The hybrids will be easier to grow and size up. The glorious is the quickest to get enormous I've heard.
@@petevsplants7516 thank you. That’s the one I was liking. So, glorious it is!!
@@jessicapetrin1655 hehe let me know how you go :D
Haha I really enjoyed this video, keep up the good work pal🤗💙
Thanks a lot, JB :D Will do!
Hi Pete! If you would have kept Peaches there to supervise, that would have never happened! Lol
Lol I'll have to get her a construction hat and a clip board then
@@petevsplants7516 😂
Oh wow that Melano has grown! I hope she keeps the pace up for you Pete she'll be a monster by the end of the growing season. 💚
Yeah, fingers crossed. I hope yours takes off the same way too!
I do appreciate Peaches has the starring role in the video 👍
My melano is still a wee baby, can't wait to see it grow
Lol yeah she's good at that. Hope it grows fast, Agnes :D
You are so amazing!!!!! This video became, hilarious!! Happy New Year, Mate!!!!
Haha cheers, Elmer! You too, mate :D
O your so funny, so unique.. I couldn’t stop laughing!! Pete, put a zip tie through the bottom of pole and thread it through the bottom of pot hole, you’ll have a firmly fixed moss pole.. works a treat, Im still laughing 😂😂 thanks for entertaining us, keep up the good work.😂😂
Ban boring you tubers. Follow Pete instead.
Yeah, that'd be what a smart person would've done... lol next time I guess
Happy new year Pete to you and yours

Thanks, Kathy hehe yeah good advice

Oh nice one!
This was super-useful! Thank you.
Peaches, always silently judging.
lol
Im jealous.. going to look for your chunky mix reciept an fertilizers that gives you this Beauty !😊😊😊😊😊😊
Just started the video but half-expected pan into the cat for the intro lol
lol

Awesome :D Fingers crossed mine keeps going hard then :D
That is just gorgeus. I have just bought one little baby and I am nervous about its care. How you manage yours to become so large so quickly?
I think it's just luck of the draw to some degree. I've had ones in the past that didn't grow quickly at all. I bought this one and it probably got propagated from a larger plant and had good genetics, maybe it was already adapted to the climate I'm in, and after arriving it just kept growing larger and larger (compared to my shitty other ones which still did nothing).

Do you have it in a sunny spot?
@@konstantinasakka2429 Hey mate, not particularly. I mean, it's getting quite a bit of indirect light from a north facing window. I'd say pump it with light if you can though. I've heard that could be what helps them size up faster.
i propagated mine because it was giving me damaged and broken leaves and the mother plant stopped growing…
Yeah, I had that happen with my first one.
@@petevsplants7516 no omg 😭 would propagating it again help?
That was hilarious 😂
this was hilarious 🤣 but aside from that do you ever notice fungus gnats from your moss pole ? I wanted to try one but now I'm leaning more towards using a plank 🤔 thoughts ? lol
Nah, haven't noticed gnats being a problem with them at all. Just use Tanlin when you water and it'll deal with them.
@@petevsplants7516 Thanks!!
hiiii!! so, did the glad wrap work for helping the roots attach to the moss pole??
Not 100% sure, though, I do see loads of root growth within those parts, so assume they've grown into the pole too.
One of those days eh 😆
lol the Limp Bizkit - Break Stuff is now playing in my head.
I don't like how space out those leaves grow.
❤
That pole isn't tall enough. It's got nothing to climb.
Yeah, it'll get an extension today probably hehe
