Just when I was about to start regretting staying up all night (4am in Indiana, USA) the RUclips gods put this video in my feed... That melano is spectacular. You sir, are a master at your art.
I just got started with moss poles after watching your channel! I only have an Epipremnum pinnatum albo actively growing on a moss pole currently, but the leaves are definitely sizing up. Absolutely love growing aroids on moss poles and you've been such an inspiration!
My favorite plant on a moss pole at the moment is my golden pothos. It’s growing so nicely and I love seeing the potential of a common plant! The risk of trying new things is so fun and I learn so much!
Jan, I love your content and I adore your plants. But moss poles are not for me. I work two jobs and have 100+ houseplants. I have found in my experience moss poles are quite messy and high maintenance. They just do not fit in my routine. I grow most of my plants in pon/semi hydroponics and I trellis the climbing ones. Maybe one day I will try again, but I doubt it😆Thank you for sharing your amazing collection.❤️
Today I did some overdue plant chores and put 5 plants on moss poles. It was my first time making a moss pole. I drew inspiration from you, SPG. I can’t wait for my anthurium Magnificum to get large. You make me want an El Chico Red, those red backs!
I love how you take a laid back approach to gardening life doesn't need added stress especially not about plants which we choose to love. Thanks for being a positive and happy laid-back person to watch
Wow, I just love your plants! I’m shocked at the pothos most of all! I had no idea it could get that big! I’m a sucker for variegation so you’ve inspired my next plant wish! I’m actually new to moss poles, and watched all your videos/ tutorials on them for my melonocrisis 😂 . It’s actually doing quite well for now.. fingers crossed! A lot of trial, and a lot more error for me! Thank you for being so positive and real, it shows through your videos and makes them my favorite to enjoy and learn from! Thank you so much! PS I’d love to trade your winter for my summer, it’s going to be 107 Fahrenheit / 41.667 in Celsius in Los Angeles today! I’m dying! So are the plants, it’s more humid here than the desert to the north, I guess the plants appreciate that, but I don’t! 🌱🥵
A couple of feelings here and there watching this video.😊 I really love your passion about plants, they look so happy living with you! By the way you describe them, definitely a proud plant parent and I can almost tell who is the golden child and who is the middle one among them😂😂😂and I love when you’re being all mama bear in a second, worried and grab the plant with you and put it into a more heavier pot, talking to yourself all this time, that’s exactly what we do when we have plants 😅😅😅 You’re such a positive influence, like what a happy plant brings to your life, you spread it to us, so thank you for that! I enjoyed the video so so much! And last but not least, stop touching the sexy big leaves🤣🤣!!
Great vid as always! I had to reset my mosspole journey when i moved to sweden end of Feb but now have a Mint Adansonii getting to a nice size (80cm on the pole without the pot and 20cm leaf length) with the patterning really coming out finally. Also using plastic backed since then and mixing some bark into it, saving some moss, but its really great with moisture now compared to previous attempts!
what do you mean with "its really great with moisture now" ? because I wanted to try adding bark to the pole to maybe help with the aeration as I experienced root rot with my poles. Do you think the bark would help for it?
Every time I watch any of your videos, I am so motivated and excited by your plants and what you have achieved with them. I am finally hopping on the Moss pole train and have about 10 started growing right. I live at 2300m elevation in high dessert of colorado in US which makes me curios what will be achievable. I have a hmidifer in every room of my house, and it takes about 10 gallons of water a day to keep me at 65% - 70%.
I'm really not a jealous person.😇 BUT when I see how your plants grow, little sparks appear. Mine have light, I fertilize them, but hardly anything happens! But I won't give up, one day.😅
Thanks to you my aroids are thriving! I went to a plant swap event in Switzerland yesterday and mentioned your channel to one of the sellers. Funnily enough she was a friend of yours 😂 The world suddenly felt so small
I'm rather loving my philodendron pink princess marble at the moment, she's only a baby but she's taken to her new moss pole really well. Her leaves are just beautiful 💗
Your moss pole plants look so happy! I love your idea of growing a queen anthurium on a grow pole filled with chunky aroid mix! My Philodendron Fuzzy Petiole has been my top moss pole grower!
I just love seeing your amazing plants especially the huge leaves on the poles, my best grower over winter was my philodendron tenue, powered along nicely even being outside in the shade house also my glorious has been sizing up nicely 🙂🦦
Wonderful segway from your last video! 🌿 I don't currently have any plants on a moss pole (hopefully soon), but my favorite of yours was the El Choco Red. ❤ Thank you for sharing and inspiring all of us.
My uncle used to sell Obliqua non-rooted SINGLE NODES for $900 each! Crazy to see starters for $25, a good lesson on why you shouldn't buy "rare" plants at their peak
I found one at a random nursery that was very beat up. Got it for 7$ and I chopped it and currently have about 20 nodes that have started giving leaves 😂😅
i always wanted an obliqua because they're just so cool. but i couldn't have one because they were so crazy expensive. now that i do have one, i appreciate both the plant itself and the fact that i have 'saved' so much money on such a 'valuable' plant.
I'm so thankful for this video. I've been having problems with my monstera "growing off the pole". Now I see how you do it. It is amazing that I truly learn from each and every video! Thank You! Question: would you please give us the approximate depth (from pole to front of the leaf) of your mature Philodendron Splendid? You ask for content ideas: Since you touched on the topic of repotting into larger pots before you place it onto a pole (Queen Anthurium), I'd be interested on how you judge this, along with why some of your huge beauties stay in small pots. Thank you again. Your truly a master!
Watched to the end. I have a beautiful Vericosum that is just now dropping some older leaves. I have a subhastatum that grows large leaves with short petioles and short inter nodule spacing. Love that. I also have a Sharoniae and Esmereldence on poles, but still quite small on their first pole section. Will be trying out a plastic backed pole soon for the first time. We will see how I feel about adding plastic to my houseplants.
Here's a tip to help you identify if your Monstera Deliciosa Albo is small or large form. Just examine the petiole sheaths and if they are less than 50% of the size of the petiole than it's a large form and if they are larger than 50% of the petiole it's a small form. Of course this isn't accurate for juvenile plants though. P. S. I love your videos and admire your plant collection! Happy growing!
I really like the obliqua too, I really hope I can get it to a mature side, and I don't doubt you can! I always loved it but couldn't afford it, but I finally got one for $15! Now I'm looking for other forms, mainly Bolivian and surnames, I've heard they're really fast, and they flower younger and have red berries.
I have never heard of the Syngonium Steyermarkii and just looked it up here in the UK and it’s quite expensive £44.99 for a 10.5cm pot ! So I will have to wait for that one 😆 I love the Syngonium Chiapense
I recently watched a video where someone explained why some plants are red on the back of the leaves. The light is reflected by the red on the back of the leaf so it passes through the leaf more often for photosynthesis. So the more mature leaves probably lose the red cause they are getting more light in nature climbing up the trees for example.
What is the one on top of your Ikea cabinet with the long narrow leaves? Your plant collection is goals. Inside or outside they are always so stunning 😍
So many great climbers! Splendid has been my best moss pole grower over Winter. I'm amazed it keeps pushing out bigger leaves with just natural light and cold Adelaide weather. It's only 8 months old and I need to add another pole. Can't wait to see what it does over the next few months!
Wow I remember you got your Philodendron Rubrijuvenile and it feels like yesterday! I can’t believe it got so large so fast! (Mine is on the brink of death lol 💀)
All very gorgeous 🤩 😍, especially at the end of what seemed like an excessively long cold winter 💚💚 Bit disappointed to learn that El Choco loses its red with maturity 🙁
All these verrucosum hybrids youve got look amazing. Got me thinking, what happend to the corsinianum? Might've missed it but I remember you got one at some point in time. I agree with splendid being really easy to care for and monstera deliciosa even more so. Warocqueanum is coming down in price slowly and a nursery close to me has them in stock sometimes as well so i might try my hand at that some time :)
I’m about to make my first moss pole for my albo monstera, it already has long areal roots heading down toward the soil, (it’s on a coco coir pole)is it best to try feed them into the new moss pole or leave them to grow down into the soil 😊
It usually moves towards the light over time or I use twine to move it over. I have a full 'plant styling' video in my Moss Pole Playlist where I explain it a bit better :)
Hi @sydneyplantguy, May I know the diameter of your moss poles please? I know you make your own hence the question. Also how do you stack them. Is it 12X12mm with 90 cm height?
Respectfully but I have a strong opinion based on my previous experiences - fuck Melanochrysum. This asshole got everything I could give it and still didn't grow leaves, just a long stem and when a leaf appeared it just rotted. I grew my glorious to huge leaves without a single tear right next to it so I'll stick to that (and like 10 other plants on mosspoles, same conditions). Some plants are just ungrateful bastards. Yours is a cutie patootie tho, congrats!
Large form is the original Deliciosa and is self heading . Small form is borsigiana and is a Vining plant. I'm sorry but I will always explain it this way because the difference between internodal spacing tells even a layman will know they are different.
Best growers this winter 🪴: philodendron verrucosum, Monstera Albo, monstera Aurea, Queen Anthurium is also doing well in room humidity. Located in Adelaide.

Maybe it’s not enough light :) and stay patient!!
Thanks to your help and tips my melanocryson is finally growing up the pole and sizing up a bit ❤🎉 yours is absolutely beautiful
Love seeing the cho-Red! Mine is so tinny right now but I'm inspired after watching yours
They mature quite quickly :)
Beautiful plants!!! 😍...Gotta make some merch with "HAPPY DAYS " on it...lol..love that saying!
Thanks for inviting us along
Don't forget about "Proof is in the Pudding"
I love the vibe here. It really turns me away when some plant collectors act so snobby. I can't wait to see more of your content. Happy growing!
Thanks :) happy growing :)
Beautiful plants Jan! Three plants that really grew & fenestrated this season were: Dubia, marble queen pothos & Cebu blue. Thanks for sharing Jan!
👏 Standing ovation. Well done. Super jelly. I’ve been battling pests for weeks now. I needed some good news stories. Thanks.
Good luck :) hope all will be fine :) cheers !
Thanks to you my aroids are thriving!
I went to a plant swap event in Switzerland yesterday and mentioned your channel to one of the sellers. Funnily enough she was a friend of yours 😂
The world suddenly felt so small

Yaaasss!! Your plants are 🤌🏻 I enjoy watching! 👏🏻Give huggies n kissies to Bradly! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🌱
Beautiful 10/10! My Manjula Pothos sizing up best on moss pole, while El Choco has remained very Rubrijuvenile in a small clump at the base of pole.😹😻
My Monstera Esqueleto is my best pole grower!
Beautiful plants Jan 💚
Wonderful segway from your last video! 🌿 I don't currently have any plants on a moss pole (hopefully soon), but my favorite of yours was the El Choco Red. ❤ Thank you for sharing and inspiring all of us.

My uncle used to sell Obliqua non-rooted SINGLE NODES for $900 each! Crazy to see starters for $25, a good lesson on why you shouldn't buy "rare" plants at their peak
Could not agree more ...
I bought a starter for 8€/9$ in a garden center here in France this month. Was worth waiting 😄
I found one at a random nursery that was very beat up. Got it for 7$ and I chopped it and currently have about 20 nodes that have started giving leaves 😂😅
Great to see queen anthurium growth. ❤
i have a philodendron obsession too so i loveee seeing your beautiful big ones! plus you give me names for my wishlist 😂
People may like success but far more important is reality and truth and that's what you show in your video's. 👍🏻
All about finding a balance :)
i always wanted an obliqua because they're just so cool. but i couldn't have one because they were so crazy expensive. now that i do have one, i appreciate both the plant itself and the fact that i have 'saved' so much money on such a 'valuable' plant.
exactly :)
Amazing, thank you 💜😍 Definitely regular M. deliciosa, she is huge 😂

The corsinianum said goodbye many years ago 😂😂
@@sydneyplantguy oh noo :o
How long did it take for your manjula to get huge like that? Beautiful!
the monstera var is a large form. it's a crawler, the small form is a climber.
5:24 so beautiful! How do you water when you only half the pole filled? Just spray the whole thing I'm guessing
I still water from the top as usual :) just less work for me & mess free :)
That philodendron is absolutely gorgeous. What all do you have in the moss pole, please?
which one
Just moss :)
Thank you and thank you 🙏😘🫢🤫🫣 🦶🏻🦶🏻🦶🏻🦶🏻🦶🏻🦶🏻
I’m about to make my first moss pole for my albo monstera, it already has long areal roots heading down toward the soil, (it’s on a coco coir pole)is it best to try feed them into the new moss pole or leave them to grow down into the soil 😊
Could you do a video about the structural engineering of your moss poles? I made two double ones and they keep falling :(
I have a tutorial in my moss pole playlist:)
❤
My monstera albo is on a moss pole with no moss😂. Its just supporting it.
💚🌿
what do you do when a new leaf grows out the side like on your Splendid? How do you get the petiole to move forward with the other leaves?
It usually moves towards the light over time or I use twine to move it over. I have a full 'plant styling' video in my Moss Pole Playlist where I explain it a bit better :)
Filthy indeed! Those leaves are amazing. BTW, where did you get your cat scratch on your couch?
Thanks :) it's not a cat scratch :) it's actually meant to be for humans :D like a little tray on the side of your couch. It's from ikea :)
@@sydneyplantguy Thank you !
Hi Jan, is your queen in your ikea cupboard still?
No she's been outside my ikea cabinet for almost a year now :)
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤
Hi @sydneyplantguy,
May I know the diameter of your moss poles please? I know you make your own hence the question. Also how do you stack them. Is it 12X12mm with 90 cm height?
That’s right :) and the diameter is approx 6cms (15 squares of the mesh)
Many thanks. I will give this a try.
