There are no good looking moss poles, only good looking plants.
😁
Bingo.
Correct ☻︎
I mean, I did see some nicer looking moss poles on etsy, they have a coloured front with patterns, and their back is clear so you can see the root development, but they're like £25 a piece, and they don't have free shipping so they're expensive as hell.
Pulls mic in close "these are kinda ugly" 😂
Great video, Lee!
I can't believe she said that 🥺
Good job Caroline, the world is your work shop now.
The fact that people wrote whole paragraphs to thoroughly express their disdain for your creativity 😂
Sucks for them, it only fueled more content 😁
It may not be aesthetically pleasing to some but once you’d have to rip your plant apart to get it off a moss pole, you’ll never want to do it again. I’ll never use a regular net or mesh moss pole ever again. Great idea, it’s awesome, I share the video to everyone who asks about moss poles. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Such a wholesome channel 🤍 And such a fun video! Thank you for the inspiring content!
Our pleasure!
Stop bullying 😂😂
I bought the pipes & made my husband cut them. Even easier!
Great job!
I love your poles. To circumvent the power tool thing I 3d print them.
😊Also made joiners to attach each one as my plant gets taller. Only issue is they're lightweight compared to pvc so the potential for them falling down as they get taller is higher. But they're super convenient. Thank you for sharing your moss poles!
That's great you were able to design the print. How long is each segment?
The smooth plastic base makes these poles so easy to decorate anyway people want. Paint a design on them. Use glow in the dark paint. Cover them in hello kitty stickers. You could do a stucco faux stone finish on them. Cover them in fake bark. Cover them in real bark. I painted mine to look like oxidized copper.
These are kinda ugly, lol…..but to be fair, all moss poles are kinda fugly. Well done though!
"These are kinda ugly." 😂😂
Maybe not wrong.
@@KillThisPlant but so efficient with the removal, and I bet that moss stays wet much longer than any other pole--i say as I'm marinating my own crunchy poles.
They are ugly
I bought a saw for 40 bucks and have about 8 moss poles of your design. They work pretty great and look sleek. It takes about 3 minutes to make a pole and it cost like 15 bucks for a 10 foot pipe.
That is awesome! Glad it worked out.
As a qualified carpenter (now retired) I will warn of power tool kick back from a saw like this. DO NOT stand directly behind the saw . As an indoor plant owner novice of two years I personally am still happy with mesh poles aka Sydney plant guy 2022. Yes they do dry out fast , but being retired I have the time to soak the poles once every 8 days or so.
And the D mosspole
You can’t please everyone 🤷🏻♀️ another great video 💚
This was interesting but honestly, I’m still using the 4x6 free scrap piece I got in Lowe’s for my large Monstera, just brought in for the winter…maybe next spring I’ll make something with moss. Thank you for this well explained video! 🌱
Do what works!
I could def do this at home, have the tools, and it's great if you're inclined to do it. But I'm lazy. A plank will do for me too.
I'm going to try this! Thank you!
Have you ever tried this idea with cut out bamboo poles? I’m thinking if you coat the inside with something that’s prevents water from permeating, they may hold up and be more aesthetically pleasing.
Love your channel! You focus on the information without a lot of useless chatter is appreciated. 😉
The place I get my bamboo from doesn't have any appropriate sized bamboo. I suppose you could do this but it probably not be extendable.
Thanks for another great video Lee. Thank you for sharing your experience Caroline!!!
@KillThisPlant
What could go wrong?
I’m going to try. Stay tuned!
Good luck!
i feel like the biggest draw of these things is that PVC, tape, and zip ties are all scrap things that you might already have lying around from other DIY projects - or, if you're not into DIY yourself, you probably have a friend who'd love to get them out of their garage
I dunno, my dad is finishing a basement and has 0 of these materials (except for access to powertools).
I like her, she should stay a friend.
Love the content man
Thanks!
I think the thing is that renting a tool is so much more work... it's at least two trips to the store which sucks of you don't have a car
This is an acceptable critique. This is why we need 15min cities.
"these are kinda ugly" .. lost it at the end! the design is smart and looks just fine.
It's a bamboo. BAMBOO!
Great video! Although buying plastic sheets and zip-ties is significantly cheaper and easier to make (sheets, zip-ties, hole cutting implement, X-acto knife)
The plastic sheets I'll admit could probably be cheaper outside of Canada or if you go off book and use an alternative product I haven't thought of (eg I've heard people using a dollar store placemat). But I don't see how it can be easier if it still takes longer with more steps.
Maybe less risky? Quieter? Less scary? Sure. But I don't agree that it's easier.
Not a plant question, but I *need* to know where Caroline got her jeans from! They’re so cute!
She said, Abercrombie
@@KillThisPlantthank you!
boy howdy this is probably the least safe way i've seen anyone use circular saws lmao
its the rickety table isn't it 😖
i put functionality before aesthetics. it s a great pole idea for me. thx
I just got a guy from Poland to hold up some moss. You can tell him to keep it moist as well and you basically don't have to do anything. I call him my moss Pole and he does a great job.
What's his hourly rate?
@@KillThisPlant I have no idea. He just stands there and doesn't speak.
ok that was funneh :D
Great video
beautiful colektor 🥰
People love to hate on a good idea, keep up the stellar work!!
😌 thanks.
i did your style of moss poles but i have to say its hard to remove the plant after its rooted in bcs i cant unwrap the mosspole ...any solutions ? also letting a bridge in the middle or multiple bridges lets the pole stay in shape instead of it caving in where u made the cut
Interesting. I haven't had that experience of it being hard to remove, maybe my PVC has more give? But I've always just pulled from the top and it comes right out. One of the videos in my playlist shows how I did it.
Would love to see pictures of what you mean by creating more bridges. It's hard to imagine from your description. DM on instagram or discord. Always looking to improve the design.
Brilliant. I love the idea. Thanks for solving my moss pole problem.
Update!! I have now made 2 more of these moss polls one for a philodendron and another for a dragon tail plant. I put a soda bottle on top and fill that with water and let it slow drip into the moss. I keep the moss damp and do not water the plant itself, it gets it water from the moss pole.
Im so mad i wanna make one snd just cover it with stickers 🙃 itll either look cute and fun or like a punk venue's bathroom lmao
I did a similar mosspole, but I cut the PVC in half, the Next one I'll do them justo like you
Tool rentals really are an affordable option a lot of people don't think about when it come to these projects. Even better, many communities have "tool libraries" -- ours is even a part of our regional library system, where you can check out tools and lawn/garden supplies with your library card for free!
Also, if you have a Habitat for Humanity "Re-Store" thrift shop in your area, usually behind where they stage all of the nicer furniture and stuff they have an area where they sell leftover building materials. You can often find used power tools there, not to mention paying much less for the pipe/connectors/painters tape if they happen to have them in stock.
Also-also, a cheap circular saw or angle grinder from Harbor Freight or Wal-Mart costs like. $20USD. New. If you're renting them more than a couple times a year, it's worth buying one instead if you've got the space to store it.
I agree it's frustrating to see things labeled as "DIY" when they require expensive, specialized equipment (or 100 gallons of epoxy resin, ugh) but that doesn't mean anything not made of pipe cleaners and hot glue is unrealistic or inaccessible. If you're the type of person who DIYs (and a lot of planty people do, building shelves and things like that), you probably have these tools and some of these materials on hand to begin with.
Anyway, thanks for the idea for this pole! None of the nurseries near me have moss poles rn and I like this much better than ordering one, so have some validation that your project isn't ridiculous/unrealistic/too expensive as thanks :)
Looks great! I dont think it's ugly at all, you could paint it or cover it with burlap or something if a person wanted to, right?
I've spray painted black in my first video. turned out great.
@@KillThisPlant I need to rewatch the first video!
@@kathyvettraino2267 in the playlist
From my perspective this is a great moss pole ! Well done.
It is, I swear.
i find its easier to just cut all the way through the pipe leaving no end pieces and since the pvc is rigid but flexible you can just nest them into each other with no need for connector pieces, then you have one continuous strip of moss with no breaks
How is the stability after you do that?
@KillThisPlant it's ok, it's not super stable when you stack more than two, what I tend to do is zip tie them together and that helps a lot. Originally I did this because I couldn't find connector pieces that fit tightly enough but i like it because it ls easier to make and you don't have extra pieces lying around.
Edit: I drill holes on the top and bottom for the zip ties
I know 16 ways of how to make a pole that works for 💩 . Tried everything and mostly with similar materials since those nice ones are from Australia and Nora's are wonderful but the back stuff was hard to find and parts of the process are done with more than one person . I have lots of materials, many hours of frustration
I will try this
Stop bullying your friends into participating in your propaganda videos!
Man, i admire your commitment, those negative comments are undeserved. Keep up doing what you're doing if you know you do it right.
It barely took any bullying to get her to do this!
I’ll believe it’s a great moss pole when I see a great plant on it 🤙
I’ve seen nothing that beats the simplicity of the OG
again-not to be a stalking nudge, heh, - try the transparent pvc tubes used for vacuuming applications by powertec. 2,5" diameter. (also at hd, at least here in the u.s.). a teency bit pricier, but they don't go bad, right ? ;) same functionality, more aesthetically pleasing, and kewl root monitoring throughout and around... i've done around 40 for one of my plant rooms, and they look amazing. made some that have one row of 1" holes, some have 3 rows of 3/4" holes, some have a long channel down the side. didn't cut 'em in 1/2 down the length, just left 'em as tubes for the structural 'extra strength', and drilled holes down one 'side'...but i'm sure the 1/2 tube method/style would work equally well. using those w/ the new zealand sphagnum is simply da bomb. that they're (nearly) clear makes the camouflaging of the pole by the plant as it grows easier and faster. most of mine are close to not really being able to see the poles, and i started some of 'em in april ! (and some have roots going all the way -3'- up to top, even though plant's 1/3 height, heh.being able to watch that is almost like an ant farm, lol). would love to see you try one out in a vid, hehehe.. i think you'll really, really like the result. 'swhy i'm mentioning all this again. won't anymore, promise! :D . i enjoy your vids :)
Your idea is brilliant. Never mind the haters. All moss poles are ugly until the plants fill in around them.
Stop bullying Lee!
Bullying, knock it off.
It's the only mosspole accepted in my flat if I woud ever get a mosspole in my flat.
Not gonna lie...idk why I never thought to do this. Gonna try
I love these. I swore that I would never do a moss pole, but your og video got me thinking and this is solidifying that resolve.
I’m selling D shape moss poles in translucent or white with honey comb openings on one side for around $5 a piece in varying sizes and thickness is adjustable. I feel aesthetically it looks better, less effort and cheaper. Sure might be a bit to get the moss out but if you’re planning to take the whole plant off the moss pole it’ll still take time to separate the roots from the moss anyways. If anyone’s in thornhill or Toronto and prefer to just buy it instead of all this effort. Reach out.
Seriously.....trying to selling your stuff on someone else's hard work. Bad form man! Zero ethics and I wouldn't buy from you.
I like it, but I don't have access to power tools.
Ok I don't want to give you too much sass because this is genuinely a cool project, but a cedar plank is 5 dollars, take 10 seconds to cut to size, looks great, and works exactly as well at growing climbing plants. I really don't understand why people like moss poles, I see no difference in the growth in my plants with a plank of wood
Du kan ikke forlænge et stykke træ og vi bruger Moss pole fordi det er en forlængelse af rødderne
Og når den er for høj og vi splitter den midtpå så er der allerede rødder så den kan overlevet at blive delt.
Der er mange grunde til at bruge moss
You know I just watched another planty youtube channel where a plant shop was selling these moss poles with their plants but they did paint them with little floral designs like vines and leaves to make them more visually appealing.
Someone more talented than me should paint these to make them look less ugly.
@@KillThisPlant Now I didn't say they were ugly I said someone made them even more visually appealing than they already were :P
Why not use a plastic gutter? It's already the shape you need.
The gutters are open at the end and are less structurally sound going vertical in terms of extending them. A single gutter piece would work fine, but they're not really modular.
Need more video with her. But people taking about power tool you can just use an X-Acto knife and get a similar result takes longer but you will get it
And then she betrays you right at the end! Haha! ❤
I know this video is old and this is not the point. But. Where did Caroline get those jeans?? They are SO cute!
NM just saw someone else's comment asking the same thing ha ha. Abercrombie!
Can you please do video on monstera esqueleto
Love it! so stop bullying people!!!
Bruh, trademark and mass manufacture and then send me the link... ain't doing all that
I ain't doing all that either 😭
Great video!!!
Do you make those to sell if so how much will you charge
@@LM-auntBIGG10. I do not.
GAINS!
wanksta😭
Using some acrylic paints and a brush you could hand paint these to look like bamboo or other natural looking "log". I think a dark green bamboo paint job would make them an extra statement piece. 💚🌱
Great idea.
Get out of here with those tools 😂
NEVER
we need an update on your string of hearts
Love you loads, but that is NOT a realistic project for most people 🤣. Will keep watching you though.
I don't know what else I can do to prove that it is realistic 😭 Thanks for watching though.
Tro på os når vi siger at de ikke er pæne og vi ikke har lyst til at til at bruge det værktøj.
Du kan jo gøre hvad du vil
Men du kan virkelig ikke fortælle mig at de er bedre end D- mosspole
Mine holder sig våde i 5-7 dage.
Please please do an in-depth video on the differences of small form / borsigiana and large form. How does anyone know if a juvenile they buy is large form. I have four, two I know is small form but two are either big juvenile small form or small large form 😂😂. I’ve now ordered a fifth in the hope it’s a large monstera 😂. Please help me out before I run out of space and need to move , love your videos btw so I’m counting on you 😀
I'm working on it. Might take a year or 2. Short answer is you won't know unless you grow out 2 plants in the same conditions or you get it from a trusted seller who knows.
@@KillThisPlant in two years time I could be living in a monstera jungle 😂😂😂. I’ve ordered my next one from a plant seller who said my last one which I thought was large form isn’t . But it looks different to my borsigiana. It has ruffles and seems chunkier in the stems
@@animallover1297 I mean, it sounds like you got it down. If I make a video I would want to grow it and compare it in my own conditions because that's always the excuse people use. "small form is just a monstera in bad lighting".
@@KillThisPlant yep that sounds like the best idea , I’m just impatient. My borsigiana was kept in a south facing window quite a bit but the leaves are still small although I t does have fenestrations and I’ve had it 3-4 years . My ruffle one already looks bigger .
Nice instructions Lee!
Brilliant Idea!
Thanks boss!
"$1000 of tools" lmao.
$13 / 1000s of dollars. Same same 😂
0:53 Caroline Really? So "unAsian" of you to not do your homework ahead of time and be better prepared for the lesson! 😂😂😂
All great, but have tools like that, and of course not gonna buy just make moss pole.😂
You forget about too ugly and expensive. What's the point of having such a gorgeous plant with that thing sticking out of it? I'm working on a idea using bamboo sticks weaved together with hemp rope that will have gaps for aerial roots. Great tip about Home Depot rentals.
I'm all for cheap sticks if ya got em.
@@KillThisPlant Every plant I order seems to come with a foot long bamboo stick to stabilize it during shipping. I'm like bamboo is too hard to come by to throw away, time to get inventive. Plus I'm poor 😂
Omg be nice to Lee!!!
I have indulged in a couple of plants who came on the standard nursery moss poles. Do you have pro-tips / a previous video on how to extricate from old moss pole before transitioning to an upgrade?
Also: please vote on indulging in a monstera pinnatipartita on sale 33% off.
Thank you!
