HAHAHA.....Thanks for the sub, Lee!!!

That's an incredibly good idea! You get the best of both worlds...a clear view of those different types of aerial attachments adhering to the plank, and also the plant rooting into the moss for further propagation ~ love it!

Thank you very much!

You can use a heavy decorative pot that is a little deeper than the plastic pot. This will help avoid the thing from falling. Hope this helps!

Great idea!!

A longer bracket might give it more support.Looks Awesome

Thank you for that. I have my plants on planks and was really apprehensive with doing the air layering, and as you mentioned the cost of moss poles for me is a no. I'm hoping that I will get to see the results of yours as mine will be not much further behind than yours. Thanks for all the info I find your explanations really easy to understand and do really appreciate it.

That's why I started with planks....THE COST! I won't stop until I find the perfect plank setup

Well, Jeff, thanks for this. Now I'll have to become a carpenter, too! 😮 I love this idea, and you're so resourceful using stuff from your recycling. I love it.

NECESSITY, the mother of invention. I will be looking forward to your follow-ups.

That is a fantastic idea ! You should patent it ! Seriously.❤

I should!

Love this idea 💡 very excited to see the update when it comes out 😁 I will be putting the brackets up just a bit higher and like you said smaller screws would be best. But not too much smaller. 😊

I love it! It remembers me the moss pole design Lee did with PVC pipes. I will probably try your first!!!

You should Never apologize for recycling something! Your mesh could be an onion bag. What if you left the bottle more intact, cut a hole in the "shoulder". stuff it with moss & water occasionally. Would the roots reach in there? Also, what if you used a router to make a channel in the center of the plank? leave it rough. would that encourage the roots to grab on? I am new to encouraging root growth on plank/pole, but am trying to learn all that I can.

I always try and reuse whatever I can for plants. I have a friend that will be helping me out with the plank system. He does woodwork as a hobby and is much more knowledgeable and resourceful... He has all the tools lol

Drill a hole then cut out the rest. That's how they make the handles in wood crates.

I also use water bottle halves for some mosspole plants. I'm happy to see you also recycle. Keep up the great videos!! Great concept.

This is such a good idea. If I decide to extend my poles, I'm going to give this a try. Also, I'm taking bets that one of the companies that makes moss poles & trellises will have a "plank expansion kit" available within the next two years.

So innovative and ingenious! Can't wait for it to root, thanks for sharing!

I love your channel! My husband made me something similar years ago. But he made a round wooden base with the plank notched and screwed into the base. Then I added my plant pot on the base and attached the vines onto the plank. The weight of the plant on the wooden base kept everything stable

GREAT idea!!! Might use a thicker water bottle so it’s sturdier & adds to keeping it stabilized. Maybe try leaving part of the bottle to use as a side flap to staple to the back or side of the board. 🤔🤔🤔

How thick are the air prop containers that you have? Those might work. Put half on the bottom plank & the other half on the top…..then put the brackets over them.

Interesting, looking forward to results! I bought a shingling raphidophora on a short plank it quickly outgrew, I had a piece of decorative twisty wood leftover from my lizards enclosure, had hubby put 2 long screws in the bottom so the actual wood sits just above the substrate, and not they’re climbing this cool twisty drift wood piece, I love experimenting and making it my own

Very cool!! I have treleaf wood trellises that are extendable anddd they already have decorative holes. I'm definitely trying this in a treleaf hole when my plants get close to the top.

You are the man Jeff. This is a win! I’m going to do it too!

Wonderful video---thank you so much for sharing your ideas!

It needs some tweaking (appearance wise lol)

When using screws in thin wood (and pinewood especially) you HAVE to pre-drill. Another method could be using dowels in the connecting bits. If it does not need to be de-mountable you could use wood glue to connect the extension to the base. Dowels and glue would also allow the two planks to be sawn in half later on.

@EverythingPlants

I did pre-drill! I had to use thicker screws because they were the only ones short enough to not poke through. This is definitely not the final product and I hope to incorporate some wood working friends to help me make a 'presentable' final plank

This is absolutely genius! 🤩

Very cool design. Still watching the video as I post this comment, so apologies in advance if you ultimately reach this same conclusion and mention it at the end of the video, but…if you want to try it with original design idea of cathedral style joint, a jigsaw might be the right tool to use to cut the section out. Smaller saw blades and more flexible.

I have a question: isn't it relatively straightforward to just chop the top portion of a vine and root it in water using the little feet and anchoring aerial roots? Given that pothos root readily in water, why is this not a simple solution to the chop and prop problem? Sure, it adds a week or two to the process but please let me know why this doesn't work? From what I've seen if you have any kind of large aerial roots on a pothos, these root quickly into water.

@EverythingPlants

6 ай бұрын

You can, but then you pause the growth and the plant (depending on the size) could take a number of weeks to grow roots and it would be MONTHS before you see new growth again. This concept (a moss pole hybrid) shouldn't have that same stall in growth as it would with water. Does that make sense???

@fmbutt

6 ай бұрын

@@EverythingPlants I understand what you're saying but in my opinion the stall is just a couple of weeks. I suppose if you want to avoid that, then the system you are describing makes sense. I guess I'm just ok with chopping and propping in water. The air layering is certainly interesting but has its own complexities.

Wow this is a great invention! You might need to copyright it, amazing!👍👍

Use a jigsaw and cut holes in the center of the plank as opposed to screwing them together?

Can definitely do that as well, but I want to remove the top section and place it in its own pot once it grows past the prop area

I will wrap it in Saran Wrap when it reaches that prop area

Have you tried cardboard tubes? Large tubes from wider materials .. or even paper Towel roles..

What about coco coir? I'm thinking about trying it instead of moss poles. Will my plants get any nutrience out of the coco option? Probably not, right?

I’m wondering if you could cut the two ends of the planks to fit like a lock and key and then attach the bracket on the sides instead of the back, then you could just allow the plant to continue growing without any window or need for any moss, like the two end pieces would fit together like a puzzle 🧩 or a lock and key 🔐
