Congratulation! You deserve the 1st price for the originality, the efforts and for using you system D whit the saran wrap.
Omg, your adansonii tree turned out so FCKING awesome!! Not just in terms of winning, but I love that you used an actual piece of wood to mount the plant. It looks epic. I'm inspired!!
Your plant is beautiful. Congratulations on winning. I hope you keep giving us updates and it grows all the way up the cork bark.
It is so beautiful, you've really outdone yourself, Kristina! So happy that Harli was the judge! You absolutely deserved the win - and hope there's a round 2! And now I need to recreate this set up some day. 😂

Congratulations on the win! The driftwood design element has been my thing as moss pole replacement. Very nice display.
Congratulations, Kristina! Well deserved!! Your creative approach was BRILLIANT! Thank you Lee, @KillThisPlant for introducing me to this channel, and this awesome challenge!!! I would LOVE to see Harli G in round 2! However, she did an ABSOLUTE PERFECT PRO job in judging!!
I am 100% stealing this idea, I love it!
Congratulations Kristina! You deserved it. I loved the idea of the cork bark trunk 👌
I would love to see more of these friendly plant competitions. Also makes me want to give unique bark supports for all my climbing plants. Addicted
Herzlichen Glückwunsch liebe Christina! 🍾 Ich habe richtig mitgefiebert🤞 Ich würde es gerne versuchen nachzustellen. Dazu habe ich einige fragen, schimmelt das Treibholz in der Erde und woher waren die tollen LED Stripes? 💚

Hi, wie cool. Also das Holz ist ja eigentlich gar kein Holz sondern Kork Rinde. Da diese eigentlich für Terrarien gedacht ist, hält sie ziemlich gut aus gegen die Feuchtigkeit. Ich habe bisher keine Probleme mit Schimmel oder ähnlichem und es ist ja schon über 1 Jahr her. Ist immer noch super stabil. Die Lampe die ich drin hatte war nur für Deko von Mother Growlights. Eigentlich nicht für den Zweck geeignet. Da kann ich dir leider nicht weiter helfen.
Unglaublich schön!!😍 Das war eine so schöne Idee, einen Baumstamm zu nehmen. Es sieht richtig beeindruckend aus in der Beleuchtung! 🎉 Ich bin gespannt auf Runde zwei und drücke dir jetzt schon mal die grünen Daumen 💚
That was awesome! Your idea and vision was the best. Now I think I need to get a piece of bark!

Well done, Kristina. I love the effort you put into the display and the bagging idea to encourage attachment was a pro move on your part. Way to go! I love the cork idea for this project, by the way. We recently found a huge piece at a garden center in Germany that we transformed into a wall-mounted air plant display (with lights). It was a fun project that turned out great as well. Looking forward to updates! -Rob

This was/is such a great, educational idea to get ppl who not only love plants but also who kno what they're talkn bout, together for a fun harmless challenge. I enjoy watching and learning from y'all. When is th next competition and who are the runner-ups?
This looks amazing! Definitely a well earned win, you went all in from start to finish and it shows. The revival of that alocasia was impressive too from the other participant!
I went and hacked down some invasive vines to make all natural support branches recently. Great minds think alike! Congratulations on a well deserved win! 🏆 Alles Gute!
When you are screwing from the bottom of the planter, you should use a washer to prevent the head of the screw pulling through the plastic of the bottom of the planter.
That was such a great challenge video and fun to watch! Looking forward to the next one for sure.
Everyone did a great job, but you were a deserving winner . Good job !
congratulations your adansonii is beautiful and such an original and gorgeous display Cant wait for round 2 with Harli :-)

What a wonderful video!Congratulations Kristina! You created a beautiful piece of art ❤
Ich habe erst seit zwei Wochen mir wieder Pflanzen gekauft. Habe drei Katzen und hatte daher immer Angst dass sie an die Blätter gehen. Mittlerweile habe ich 12 Pflanzen inklusive zwei Sukkulenten und sie lassen alles in Ruhe. Ich habe eine sehr helle Wohnung und bin gespannt wie sich die Pflanzen Entwickeln. Im Sommer kann es sehr heiß werden weil direkt unter dem Dach. Gerade dieses Video von dir inspiriert mich sehr es mit einer eigenen Gestaltung zu versuchen. Gleich morgen werde ich zu meinem Dehner fahren und schauen ob ich auch so ein Stück Holz finde. Jetzt im winter im Wald zu suchen macht glaube ich wenig Sinn da die Äste ja alle feucht sind. Hätte nicht gedacht, dass mir Pflanzen so viel Freude machen können. Schön dass es deinen Kanal gibt, du hast auch so eine frische, begeisternde Art die mich anstachelt an diesem Hobby dran zu bleiben. Viele Grüße aus Österreich. Ps Es ist eh schon zu spät aber fürs nächste mal stülpe doch einfach eine große Mülltüte über die Pflanze, da ist dann garantiert alles dicht und du brauchst nichts kleben, schneiden und wickeln:-)
The mashup we all needed! 😍 well done!
I LOVE this setup!! Wow!!

For round two, I think it might be fun to try something like a euphorbia dragon bones, trigona rubra, maybe even a chocolate drop. They grow super fast and It might be fun to roll up with a succulent that doubled in size (Mine sure has) lol.

Herzlichen Glückwunsch, Kristina. Sehr verdient gewonnen. Großartige Idee einen Stamm zu nutzen und das Finishing mit kleinen Baumbewohnern und Moos zu pimpen. Auch ohne den Sieg wärst du eine Pflanzen-Expertin. Sag mal, hast du in den Stamm noch ein Grow-Light eingebaut oder sind das Lichtreflexe vom Hintergrund? Wenn du nachträglich noch eine Lampe eigebaut haben solltest, könntest du uns bitte zeigen wie du das gemacht hast bzw. mit welcher Lampe? Danke Liebe Grüße, Marlen
Amazing! Is there possibly a link to the pot used? After a nice wide one like this and like the look.
Loved the challange!
Wow... I’m totally stealing this idea for my adansonii when I have the money for it 😂😂
I wonder how long that cork bark will last getting moistened all the time, I’m sure you might get a couple years out of it maybe? I’m so inspired!!! I wanna build one too!! I’ve been using those birch bark branches they sell at Christmas or just decor on shingling plants, the white bark and green leaves is stunning, I don’t think the birch wood will last forever for sure, but it’s beautiful nonetheless!! Omgosh! Love it sooo much!!! Zehr gut!!!
@LeafyLuster
5 ай бұрын
I also think it should last a good while. I am more worried about what I do once the plant outgrows the bark. How do I cut it back, will I be able to detach the roots again etc. 😅🤔 Birch sounds like a great match, I agree.
Wow It does look stunning!
