The plant so nice I bought it twice! I bought one that was grown from cuttings on November 1st and it just keeps growing! I was in a plant store about a week ago that I think was obviously grown from tissue culture and has so many growth points it's borderline ridiculous! So far in my experience it's even easier and faster going then any pothos!
I love my squam... it is my favorite; then there is Monstera Peru, so gorgeous, and Philodendruym hastatum "Silver Sword. I have 3, a Mom size and 2 babies. I am a sucker for Trader Joe's $12 Monstera that grows a foot taller in a month. I asked them to refuse to sell me any more! They laughed. I have a 7 foot 3 trunk Ficus lyrata that I grew form a baby in a 6"inch pot . I am so happy to find this site. I learned so much from 1 video.
This plant is really easy and grows really well with ordinary coco pole too, big leaves:) no need for high maintance moss pole. Mine specimen was exposed for direct sun in morning hours untill about 11 am, no burn on its leaves:)
This the the best repotting video I have seen. I am in love with my squamiferium. It is in a 6 inch pot and has grown over 2 ft long since I bought it 6 months ago. I had not idea what to do with it. When you need to rerpot after putting in the moss pole, I assume the pole goes with the plant into the new pot?
This is one of my favorite plants! I purchased one little cutting about two years ago and today she is on a plank, about five feet tall. Just one stem - bc I didn’t have the heart to cut it back. Then a few months ago my local Costco had them, like the one you were showing us. I got two; one is on a moss pole and the other one I left alone, as was. They’re both growing nicely. I’ll be interested in seeing the differences in their growth, if any. Thanks for the post. I might try this type of moss pole. I’m not crazy for the ones I made from mesh wires.
@@EverythingPlants Jeff, I must make a correction. I moved my Squami from her table onto the floor and measured her against a measuring stick. She’s three feet tall, not five. I grossly overestimated her. She’s still lovely though!
Such a useful, comprehensive video! I have one on this type of moss pole and it is thriving on the lowest shelf in my grow cabinet (~2.5 feet from light). I have purchased plastic poles from 3 different Etsy sellers to make my own finished product and the best by far are from a Canadian seller.
Based on all the under the canopy plants, mine should all be loving darkness... I need like a 70 year old Ficus for them to truly feel at home 😂 When you picked up the skewer I said out loud "that's not a pencil" 🤔 thank goodness the next scene has the ✏️. Years ago I used to have a planted fresh water fish tank. I wonder if the pH buffering stuff would be ok for plants or if it would bind with nutrients, it's so easy to get without having to order. I've got very hard water with high mineral content (it stains everything reddish). Yay well water! At least it's free... The fish tank pH used to run around 7.5-8 which is a huge change when it comes to pH. So I used pH down. I could always tell when the water was needing tested BC the snail's would climb out and the fish would be struggling at the top. It was amazing both how fast they would go from normal to emergency and how fast they would go back to normal behavior with the pH down!
Have you ever put your potting mix in the bottom of the pole? It would be the part that’s underground in the pot. The theory is that it will keep the potting substrate too wet.
You don’t put your pile all the way to the bottom? I’ve never seen it dine that way. Is it in the pot deep enough to hold steady until the plants arial roots grow into the pole and hold it steady?
Finally a great explanation of low-light medium light and highlight.
Thanks!

Love this plant! So easy to care for, not finicky at all and gets large lovely leaves on a pole. It loves grow lights as well! 👍🥰😀

Morning sun is good!
Very informative video! I just picked up a red bristle today. Can’t wait to watch her grow ❤
Great video, so informative!! I wish that I could have you repot my plants so perfectly and quickly 🤩😍🤩
I think you’ll like the Fox Farm potting soil! It’s been my go-to for a couple of years now.
So far it feels like a really high quality soil....so I'm happy with it
Just got me a squam. It's a small pot, but there's 3 mature plants with tons of offshoots. So obviously I had to chop some offshoots to plant.
Nice!!!

Yes....pole and plant in the pot!
OOh Jeff, upgraded to a white new pencil? Sweet lol

Wow! Five feet tall now?!?! Thats awesome

Very helpful and informative. I always wanted to do something better after watching your videos thank you.

Interesting....which ones are from the Canadian seller?
"HousePlantEssentials" in Ontario
@@kathleenwarner4046 sweet, I'll check them out
Too bad my thaumatophyllum spruceanum won't be big enough to chop for a few years :(
Hello! I have that and she is one of my fav because of her unique stems. Great care info! Thanks for sharing!
They are such cool plants.... Thanks for watching!

A new and nice flower ! 👏💗👏 And a brand new pencil ( the white one ).😀

Yes I have with some.... I'm not worried about that amount being under the soil. It will be fine
I just discovered your channel! I love the way you explain things 🪴🌱🪻
Oh thanks! And welcome to the channel!
Lovely unusual philodendron!
Thanks!
Where can I find the moss pole used in your video.. I just got this plant a couple days ago and I want to repot it up!
Hi great video super easy plant to grow.. looking at your merch an I wish you would offer your design in a 10×14 picture it is so great... thanks
Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the information! Quite helpful! ❄️💚🙃
Thanks, Judy
I ordered a philodendron fuzzy pink Petiole and recieved this.... so now i have to figure out how to care for it
Interesting....I definitely like this plant better 🤣
Hey I’ve read that these are toxic can you inform me a little more about the toxicity
Where did you get the plastic moss pole support? Did I miss mention of that?
I bought it from North Shore Tropicals online. They are a shop in Vancouver B.C.
What is name of pole
you use in video? I am in USA 🇺🇸..I just purchased little squam.
I'm not too sure of the brand TBH but I bought it from North Shore Tropicals In Vancouver
Can you remind us where the moss pole frame is from, thanks!
North Shore tropicals!
What moss pole is that? Is there a link for that specific one!???
@@kimberlyhinson4252 hello. In the description of this video there are Amazon Canada and US.....they are in there

It is steady and just fine!
This is on my list!!
Can this plant grow in water.
Informative!
Thanks Barbara
Awww. That makes me sad. Your squam isn't as branchy for being about the same size. (3 of that size, branchy ones in a 8 inch pot)
I love mine
❤🌿❤🌿❤🌿❤🌿❤
Why would you not use lumens? It's an easier measurement.
I'm just familiar with Foot Candles
@EverythingPlants lol. I get it. I understand foot candles too. Just odd you'd be more familiar with the lesser understood measurement.
Depending on where you are....in Canada, I mostly hear of Foot Candles when referring to plants. 🤷
Maybe you need to tuck the pencil behind your ear? ❄️💚🙃
Not a bad idea haha
