The marble queen !!! Congrats Amy I love this project and great to see the progress. As ever, a joy to see your collection and really helpful advice 🌿💕
Hi Amy. Thank you for an interesting video. I’m finding it so fascinating to watch the behaviour of plants, as you’ve spoken about here. The plant I watch every day is my Hoya Krimson Princess which is now hanging beside a marble queen. The vine of the hoya is wrapping around the macrame hanger and I think in time it might try to go across and join her mate next door. I find it quite amusing to watch how the plant is now securely climbing and therefore putting out leaves. I just love it❤🌿
Hello, so happy to hear you enjoyed ☺️🌱✨ I totally resonate with what you’re saying, it’s such an enjoyable process to watch what they do. Especially Hoyas too which is why they are so nice to grow, those vines are too cute! 🥰🌱 Hope they continue to give you joy 🤍
Just discovered your channel! The cork wall idea is amazing!! I bought a cork board recently for my studies. you're making me want to use it for my plants instead 😂
I really love this idea and it looks nice. My home office is a very organic style, I just wish I had a set up that could use something like this. I agree on the moss poles and only have 4 spread around the house now versus the 10 I used to have.
Thank you! I definitely think it looks better now the plants are on it. Maybe you could try it on a smaller scale? Indeed the moss poles are just too much in my opinion, especially with a larger collection, but still so widely used for a reason!
Good ideas there and you give me some things I might try out. Thinking of the cork type moss pole setup. Just wrap the cork around a wire frame. May go for a large diameter and a bigger pot where I can put several plants at the base.
Great to hear that! I love that idea as well, I find stability is a hard thing to figure out when you try to go with wider things. However I have seen some interesting set ups by others! Good luck experimenting ☺️✨🌱
This is inspiring. I just looked online and it is possible to buy cork bark tiles or tubes etc and i love the idea of trying something on those on a smaller scale as i don't have space for a cork wall. I love the idea though and that it is more sustainable, hopefully.
I'm new to all this jungle look thing and on a mission to junglify my humble little flat in tropical Yorkshire. lol. Which is funny considering how, for years, I called my flat a plant hospice... where healthy plants come to die. :D All, of course, because I knew burger all about houseplants. After intensive research I've learned my mistakes and it's game on. I have a question though. How much of that gorgeous leaf size is down to the support thing and how much is down to grow lights and fertilisation/feeding? Oh and btw... love the accent... where's it from? I hear Irish but I keep thinking I hear American-ish.. sort of. :D
Very useful information! I wonder how easily the roots will come back out of the cork if you want to propagate it, or if you would have to pull the cork down and destroy it.
Hi both! This hasn’t happened at all. The aerial roots don’t go through the cork board, they really just stick to the surface and grow laterally. So I think the drywall is safe as long as you have enough cork board to cover it!

Ah welcome, hope you enjoy the videos! ☺️ Thank you! Haha I cannot be held accountable 🤣 Maybe you could attach notes at every node 🤣

Is there any other video update to this?

Amazing video, i want the same wall now haha
Go for it! 🤣 Thank you 🤍✨🌱

Thank you, and thanks for watching! Honestly they can easily just come apart with a quick pull. No destroying needed ☺️
will the aerial roots eventually penetrate the drywall behind the corkboard?
Wondering the same. I’m definitely trying this method though.

What kind of plants are you growing?😮😂
Do you think this would work with a monstera? Also did you spray or water the cork at all to encourage the plant to attach?
Possibly but they are such big plants the weight may become an issue! And no I don’t spray or add water to the cork at all ☺️
looks like the channel @PlantLifeInTheTropics has no content on their channel anymore
😔
Oh no, I didn’t realise! That’s a shame 😭
