Bro, at first I thought you owned a plant shop. Then I realized, this man just bossed up and took his passion for plants to the max. Thanks for helping us newbies achieve our plant parent goals.

Dip the bottom of the stick in plastidip or spray to protect it from watering. I'm sure you can use a urethane sealer as an option that won't effect plant health. Cheers.

i myself think moss pole is a waste of money , but some videos just confirm that philos does absorb water/nutrient from it and grow bigger leaves , i know pothos doesnt need it

Thanks for watching! The planks are outside and exposed to rain and irrigation.

Can you explain how do you handle plants that reach top of the plank? considering I wish to keep growing the plant to maturity without the taxing care of keeping a moss pole wet all the time :(

It’s actually very simple. You treat it the same regardless of the host. Take the top cutting and replant it into a new pot with host.

@@LordSaint_ Good to know. I just came across your channel. Your shade house is incredible. I could use something like that here in TX.

What do you do when the plant is rotted or the pot has been outgrown? By then, the plant has probably attached itself to the plant, so how do you deal with that? Also, on the topic of plank inside or outside the pot...if you place the plank on the outside, you could always place an extra tiny bit of scrap wood on the outside to cover the screw tips...or screw from the outside in, so the screw ends are on the inside. If so, then I would still put a bit of scrap wood or plastic (or anything that can take a screw) on the inside of the pot, just to give the plastic of the pot a bit of extra support. Otherwise, the entire weight of the plank and plant will be resting on the thin plastic of the pot, which is probably not strong enough.

If the plant is rotting you remedy or remove it. When it’s time to change the pot, you simply remove the screws and replace the pot. Great idea, I’m potting up a few plants today, I’ll give it a try!

@@LordSaint_ That was actually a typo, I meant plank, not plat. What do you do when the plank has rotted? Specifically, since the plant will have attached itself to the plank, what do you do when you need to change the plank or the pot? How do you to detach the plant without damage?

The plant usually outgrows the plank before it rots, in which case I chop and prop to start over.

why not put the wood on the outside so it doesnt rot?

@LordSaint_

Жыл бұрын

The screws are long enough that they extend past the width of the wood strip. I rather have the screw ends inside the pot than outside where my pups (who have free roam of the area) could get injured. The rot takes a long time for me, so it’s worth the few inches of rot.

@LordSaint_

Also, depending on weight of the pot with soil and a plant in it, the pot has a better chance of dropping when pulling away from the plank instead of having it to brace and hold.

@@LordSaint_ fair enough. Could also seal the wood or cover the wood with some plastic to prevent rot. I'm thinking of doing a similar thing on my front patio. Just have to mount some top horizontal pieces of wood to support the wooden planks. Thanks for the great idea. Don't have to worry about plants getting blown over in the wind or a storm.

Hello. You have a beautiful set up for your plants, sir.🪴 I have never used any kind of climbing device until last week when I put a small Golden Pothos on a cedar stick. I would like to ask, what do you do with your plants after the wood planks rot? And would cedar also rot within a couple of years? I was told cedar would not rot in soil. Is that so? And thank you!🪴

Ty! I use normal wood. The plant usually outgrows the wood before it rots. When it does rot, I just cut the portion that has rotted. Happy planting 🤌🏾🤌🏾🌱
