I would recommend using cling wrap and sphagnum moss to air layer. You can monitor the progress of the roots through the clear plastic & it's very easy to ensure it stays moist. It might take a couple of months also, but you can keep it on until you see a good root system. (btw commented at around 4 mins in)
Great suggestion! Thanks
@@EverythingPlantsAre you stapling the plant stems onto the wood plank? If so, doesn't that choke the plant?
This was one of thee most beneficial videos EVER in the plant community!!! I tried moss poles once early on in my plant parent journey and immediately knew as an underwaterer that it just wasn't for me. I went wood plank on everything and was kind of at a loss on what I should do once i have mature leaves. This video was helpful beyond words!!!! I now know that plants I really want to mature and propagate, that they need a moss pole. Thank you SOOOOO much for showing your journey and how you adjusted to moving to moss propagation!! Priceless INFO!!!!
I haven't given up on the plank idea quite yet... I'm hoping to fabricate a plank slightly modified like I showed in this video. Planks are a low maintenance and low-cost method of getting larger leaves. This is just one stepping stone to perfecting the plank method. Moss is good as well but like I mentioned it can get quite expensive
@@EverythingPlants yes, I like your idea of making a cut out to air layer. I broke down and got a pole similar to Thiccly for my Manjula and Thai con. I wish I started my albo in moss. Now I've got to air layer it. I might try it on another plant since I haven't air layered before. I just got some of those pods.
i recommend the stalk of ceiling floodlights which you can buy used quite cheap. their sections are screwed with each other and you can just prolong them adding another section.
We hit Hawaii every year, I got into plants this last year because of what I see here in Hawaii, (we’re here now just got married and on our honeymoon) so we visited the botanical gardens this time, OMGOSH, everything I own at home, but a hundred times bigger, more vibrant, and everything flowering I didn’t know DID flower! 🌺 I got enough photos to cover 5 homes’ walls! And of course legally bringing home what cuttings/seeds I can!! I’m in heaven ❤ never noticed the pothos before this year thought it was something else, as big as a car tire, fenestrated, STUNNING, WAY up on the palms etc
That's so awesome. The large pothos leaves are what I'm trying to achieve here in my Canadian home lol
I love how clever and creative you are! And adventurous! Adding a moss pole to a stake? Love it! I have stuck sticks into moss poles as extensions- but those are not nearly as effective as what you’ve created.
You have just inspired me to start a marble pothos and a cebu blue on moss poles. That’ll be my next project for the winter. And I’m starting a philodendron pink princess, too. Just chopped her up today.
I always learn something from you! Thank you.
Sorry about your beautiful cebu blue. That must’ve been very disappointing.
Thanks again for your informative and fun clip.
It's all part of the learning process for me....and I just happen to film it hahaha The good, the bad and the ugly
@@EverythingPlants … and it’s a learning process for your viewers, too! Thanks!
Possibly a once in a million result but I was able to cut my plank soil pothos, placed the plank and attached roots into a pon semi hydro and it hasn't missed a beat and still sizing up😊
Your videos are both information and inspirational... Tyvm and Keep 'em coming!
That is very interesting...never even thought of something like this. It would be neat to see the setup you have
@@EverythingPlantstried uploading a video twice but don't see it yet (not tech savvy) 🤷
@@MsHDDriver you can try sending it to my Instagram messenger
@@EverythingPlantsOkie just sent message to Instagram 🤞
The sound effect when you clipped the bottom splendid leaf off 😂
I have to admit that I saw this on another youtube video once and LOVED it lol
@@EverythingPlants it was funny regardless!
I came here to say the same thing xD It was so unexpected and was definitely a welcome laugh 😂
Is this a regular marble pothos? Wow!
Ya! It continues to amaze me with the beautiful variegation
Great video 🎉💓! I love learning and being prepared with what to do next.😁🤩😍
Thanks Kim! I'm not giving up on the planks
I was thinking of using slats from my kids' old bunk beds, too! I was hoping it was ok for the plant with the wood being treated. I'm glad to see it worked for you!
Yes...it's been fine. Someone recently told me that if you are worried about rot (which I'm not) then you can burn the end of the plank before you place it in soil
New subscriber here! I’m a pretty descent gardener outdoors but am somewhat baffled with houseplants. I can’t have any in my home due to having 9 cats. We have many many house plants where I work and don’t want to kill anymore!
Hey Alice! Welcome to the channel!
I too am an underwater and won't tolerate high maintenance plants. When I lived in FL I saw so many of these plants thrive with barely any care so I know it is possible to get them big without babying I have had little success with moss poles! Particularly my Monstera Pinnapartina - despite adequate light it refuses to attach to the moss pole so I am going to try a plank. Thank you for all of this information. The best method likely greatly depends on the specific plant type.
Great little projects, done n dusted so quick and easily 👌🏼 Can't wait to get a spare day to do those little jobs that I keep putting off. Your newest Splendid leaf is magnificent 😮 Thanks for sharing Jeff
This was my question when I first saw the videos!! I love that you're digging into this so intensely! I'll be following along.
I wouldn't throw bottom pothos or anything in the compose. There are many people that would love to prop from that. I've given so many of my unwanted clippings to others to spread the love. You know the saying "someone else's trash is other's treasure". Pleasure share your love.
Love your experiment, by the way. I'm new to polesand I really appreciate this
Would you consider wrapping the plant around the moss pole or plank as it grows? It would hopefully cover the whole pole to make it look fuller.
Once it roots into the moss and as the stem thickens it would be very difficult I think. You could always keep a couple stems on the pole for a fuller look
Hi Jeff! Do you have any Syngoniums on moss poles or planks? I have some reclaimed barn wood I want to use as planks, but I also have 3 of those plastic things for moss poles. When I was first married, I had a VERY hot west facing window in my NJ apartment. I bought it with a beautiful bark covered wood plank already in it. That plant was GORGEOUS!!! It loved being about 10 feet from those said windows. We then bought a house with really lousy placed windows for house plants and subsequently everything I had died including my Syngonium. It was just your everyday White Butterfly, but it was gorgeous. There was another in the window of my vets office living it's best life! Had to be at least 3 feet around! It belonged to one of the workers and she has since taken it home. But let me know what you think about Syngoniums growing on poles or planks. Thank you!!
think a plank is ok , but its lacking texture like having a bark , which i notice it holds moisture better and some bark can trap dirt in it , just look at the rain forest tree
I agree....it's not ideal but it still works!
Jeff, this was so informative!! Love all your videos and could have them on all day long. I have a question:
When you grow a pothos on a wood plank, do you put only one vine in the pot? So basically a one leaf-node cutting that has been rooted in water?
Thanks so much! I appreciate the support. It's definitely beneficial to have a smaller cutting otherwise if you take an existing Vine it might take a while for it to establish onto the plank. So having two or three nodes/leaves would be good enough
Jeff have you experimented with rooting in distilled water vs filtered tap to see if there is a difference? I root in distilled water and maybe it’s just luck but my cuttings root really fast. Your high tech drawings are the best. 😂
Haha. Thanks for appreciating my high quality drawings haha. That is actually a great experiment. Thanks for the idea 💡
I hope you can buy/use an angled soil scooper for more efficiency in gathering soil mix. My mom used a bamboo pole before instead of a plank, and the lower portion became mushy or rotted after some months due to having a bigger pot than required and overeatering as well as low light.
I've wanted to buy an angle scoop so thanks for reminding me lol
Would it matter that the moss was only on the “front” of the stem? If you had loosened the vine from the planks and wedged moss in BEHIND might the air layering have been successful?
100% my fault...yes. I did want to see if the roots would grow this way, so I definitely pushed the limits and it didn't work out. My goal is to not have to detach the cutting and still be able to chop and prop.
plant support is really something i m struggling with atm. i have 1 mosspole in use currently with my adansonii and it grows into it beautifully, leaves becoming huge aswell. there is a big BUT however. 1. i need around 6-10 more mosspoles now or pretty soon and even 1 mosspole is allready a mess. maintenance is a pain, i get gnats again, had to fight some mold on it too and its so expensive and annoying to do. i feel like im kind of enslaved to the mosspole. if i need one, i have to order stuff online for alot of money, while i can go to homedepot whenever i want and buy a cheap huge plank all the time.
in some regards the downsides of the mosspole also conflicts with my mind a little. i switched everything to leca this year and my plants love it. i did that also to streamline things and make things more simple and to get rid of gnats... now with the pole, gnats are back and its more complicated than ever
This was so fun and informative! Thanks for taking us along with you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Instead of using plant Velcro… could you use the “cage” of the moss pole (that attaches in front) and place the cutting behind as you build the pole?
Yes! Just place the cutting behind the 'straps' and let it grow!
I'm just curious as to why you didn't keep that pot of pothos roots and a section of stem. Wouldn't that have grown?
It 100% would have grown.... I took some of the top cuttings but I literally have no room for another pot. I usually give them away
Learning a lot with both of you . Thank you 😊
So nice of you....thanks for watching!
What does your prop box consist of. Do you have a video explaining how to make one? I’m very interested
Have you watched Sydney Plant Guy chop and extend videos? I think he does what you are suggesting with fantastic results.
Yes, but I wanted to find a way to achieve the same results with a plank as a moss pole. Moss poles can get very expensive and time consuming
I'm not much a fan of the wooden planks bc I tried 3 of my philodendron on them and when friends visited us they ask us why so many wood around our plants n it was only three..so I took them apart after and returned to my beautiful moss pole which no one complained about after..and to be honest they look more planty with the moss pole..lol..but if it works for you that's great my Canadian friend.
Hey....planks didn't work for philodendrons, at least for me
Good vid; thanks for sharing Jeff!
thanks Carol
My grandmother she 95 told me that her mom in Puerto Rico used to burn the tip were the plank going to the soil and it works is to burn the tip of the plant that going to the soil so the plank wont root and will work as charcoal i'm going to be doing a tiktok explaining ❤❤❤❤
That is actually genius!
hmmm the japanese has done it , its call Shou Sugi Ban
Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing plants lovely collection beautiful happy thanksgiving to you and the family lovely day
Thanks again Jillian! I think you watch every single video and I thank you for supporting the channel!
that good nz moss is so expensive i have been mixing it with chunky coconut husk in my diy poles and so far great results.
That's good to know. I'll will design the perfect wood plank to be able to chop and prop
When you air layer, are you cutting into the stem at all? I have seen the process done where you remove the outer-most layer of flesh before applying the rooting media, but I feel like that was more for tree cuttings. Have you used any rooting hormone on the layering sites at all?
Good video as usual. Thanks for sharing.
I have air layered many different types of plants in the past with great success. When it comes to a pothos plant, you do not need to cut into the stem. Plants like the ficus elastica you do have to remove the outer bark casing in order to grow roots while still attached to the stem... Like you mentioned with tree cuttings. I've rarely used rooting hormone for any propagations. What I should have done is removed the plant from the plank and placed the cup around the entire stem.
@EverythingPlants i do like your notching method, i am interested to see how it works moving forward. I have a few things trained up boards like you, so I will get the benefit of seeing how that works out for you. If you ever want to change up the aesthetic of the planks, burnish them with a torch and then use a wire brush to remove the layer of char. On a cedar board, it almost looks like walnut. Looking forward to whatever is next.
when you place the plants in the shower, are you using filtered or tap water? im always so careful to use filtered, but would love to shower them. your videos are so helpful, thank you!
I have a garden hose which I have attached a filter to it and run the hose to my shower. We have a water softener and that will kill my plants haha
Now I'm wondering if I should try my Scindapsus pictus on a plank. Has anyone here ever tried that?
I have a jade satin on a modified plank and I'll find a way to make them work.
Once it outgrows the plank, you can always chop the top and put it in water. I'm still trying to figure out a way to make it easy for the chop and prop with a plank. This video was just showing my failed attempt at doing the air layering method..... Which really should have worked. Don't give up or second. Guess yourself on using a plank. It's a low-cost and low maintenance method of getting larger leaves.
pine is one of the best woods to use for this so you are wrong there, pine is very natrually rot resistant and is used in outdoor applications for that reason
Oh very interesting....thanks
did you try applying rooting hormone to the air layer site?
No. It's a complete rethink of the process lol
Jeff, the wood notching is a genius idea! How would you hold the moss in the middle though? Would you just wrap it with plastic wrap, or make a cup holding device? TIA👍🏽
I would like to make some sort of plastic rectangle container and use small screws to secure the box to the back but also the planks to each other... There will be a need for some sort of quick release bracket for the top and bottom plank. That's the plan anyways.
I'm trying to make an affordable, low maintenance method that produces similar results to the use of a moss pole
@@EverythingPlants I would def look into Japanese jointing style. Its like a super fit jigsaw puzzle that connects 2 woods without nails that can disassemble one way but not the opposite. I might do some notching one day for sure and try this method of yours with some tweaks. Awesome thanks again Jeff👍🏽.
@@lastcastproduction4030 hey...anytime!!!
Wow, what an interesting video.
Thanks! It's always a learning process
@EverythingPlants I literally have 2 planks waiting to be used. I want my cebu blue cuttings to look like yours. The moss poles...I am terribly lazy about keeping them wet, and I simply hate sphagnum moss. Maybe I can use a different medium with the poles... Jeff, you have passed 75k. Wow! You're the best!
@@planttherapy1860 I'm trying to make a plank that works like a moss pole.... Just because moss is fairly expensive.
Thanks so much and I can't believe I've reached 75K
In nature philodendron do climb on trees.
Yup, they sure do!
Gorgeous eyes, especially the eyebrows!!
Sorry, got diverted to a wrong topic.
I hope your wife doesn't beat me 😂😂😂
Jokes, apart, what should one use as an alternative to Orchid Bark in soil mix for Aroids as I don't have it available in my country?
Hahaha...thanks so much! I would just use perlite in the soil and that should be good enough.
@@EverythingPlants thanks for that
Do you have issues with fungus gnats with your moss poles?
Ya....I have seen a few floating around
I was wondering about your electric bill. With all those grow light how does that effect your electric bill?
I honestly don't know lol the only thing I know is that it keeps going up because of Canada's carbon tax haha
I prefer planks. It's a matter of choice
👍
Are you selling any cuttings?
Are you in Canada? Right now I have an abundance of cuttings and even more on the way with chop and props...
@@EverythingPlants I'm in California, USA
@@360revolucion8 dang....I doubt I can ship to the US. We can do an exchange...plants for bonide systemic please 😂
