My big leaf journey started 30 years ago with a dieffenbachia (dumb cane) that got too big and started flopping over. I mounted a standard hanging plant hook on the wall near the ceiling, placed the plant pot directly under the hook, hung a wooden dowel from the hook, and cut the dowel to a length that hovered 6" above the pot. As the plant grew, I tied it to the dowel with standard plant tape. The hook supported the weight of the plant, the floor supported the weight of the pot, the dowel never came in contact with with soil or water, gravity kept everything perfectly vertical, and nothing ever tipped over. Leaves and petioles grew so large, the plant filled the entire corner of the room all the way to the ceiling. Right now, the best big leafer on UA-cam is Sydney Plant Guy. While I'll be using planks instead of moss poles, his top contribution is the technique of constructing the pole/plank from two sections of equal length, and having extra interchangeable sections. This allows the top half of the plant to remain attached to the pole/plank when it's chopped, repositioned as the bottom section when it's potted up, and add a new empty top section so the big leaf portion of the stem can grow uninterrupted for many iterations until the leaves reach the desired size. Good stuff. I also plan to mount my new planks on the wall like I would hang a framed picture, and position the plant pots under the planks as I did with the dieffenbachia. I think this will look much nicer, and be more stable, than sticking the planks directly into the pot or putting them on the floor and leaning them against the wall. Thanks for sharing. All very uplifting.
How will you be attaching the planks together? Two separate picture hook planks? So far I am liking the plank inside the pot compared to outside the pot placed onto the floor simply for the ease of movement. It is very nice to take the plants into the shower to give them a good soaking where as any other method would be a bit more difficult. It sure is neat to see and hear how others make their plant setup work for them.
@@EverythingPlants I'm a big fan of industrial strength velcro, where the hook and fabric pieces are separate and each has an adhesive backing. Place a 1 inch square hook piece on the back of all four corners of both planks. Then make two fabric pieces that are one inch wide and 2.5 inches long. The extra 0.5 inch is a tab that will let you pull these pieces off when you are ready to chop and repot. Place the planks end to end, and join them with the fabric strips. This will definitely be strong enough, and stable if the top plank is hanging on the wall, but will be floppy if it's free standing. For free standing planks, adhere the fabric strips to a 1" x 2" piece of plywood (or any other wood) to create a splint. If it's still too floppy, do the same to the front. Splinting the planks together at both corners from front and back will definitely be sturdy. For plants small enough to carry, I also like to perform basic maintenance in the shower or outside. If you are planning to grow mature leaves on plants that are small enough to carry, planks inside the pot is the way to go. If you want to let some plants grow as tall as a wall, hanging the plank separately is best because it's inherently stable, let's you adjust verticality with ease, and allows for use of a smaller pot that doesn't need to support the weight of the plant.
I took another look at Sydney Plant Guy's method, because it's free standing in the pot. He uses a single support stake in the back that runs the full length of the pole, and both pole segments attach to the stake. For a plank, you could use one wide support down the center or two narrow supports along the sides. They could be attached from the back with velcro, or from the front with wood screws. To save space in the pot, the support doesn't need to go all the way to the bottom of the plank. It can start at the top of the pot and go up from there.
@@humanspirituality4822 thanks for doing a bit of research ans sharing it with me and everyone that reads this. I currently have one plank outside of the pot and it's okay, but not my favorite when it applies to watering. It drains down into the saucer. I kind of like when it drains into the soil. I'll have to tweak it a bit and go from there
Hey. I have many plants growing up on floor trimmings. Ha Ha...it works and my Pothos are doing great!! I love you vids, dude. Thank you for sharing!!!
I seen on Amazon Canada an air layering ball, similar idea to your orchid pot but made just for air layering. I can't recall the price as it popped up as an also bought with item and I don't need that right now, but I am impressed that you already got your own version going! I'm appreciating that they're making products for the job now though as I'm a procrastinator for a lot of things that need to be made first 🤣🤷🏼♀️
I have a few of my plants on poles, they are so pretty I want everything with big mature leaves. Too bad I don’t have space to put everything on a support. Have you ever thought about a living wall?
Thanks for the info. I could have used one of those small orchid pots for my trial air layering of my Ficus Burgundy I told you about. Thanks for showing that cup and how you cut it to use. Since I already started my air layering using only moss and plastic wrap do you think it’s best to leave it be now or should I switch to a cup and add soil with the moss? It’s been a week.
Hello there 1-Why dont u take the rooted cuttings and put them in the same pot with the mother plant to creat a full & lush plant. 2- did any of your plants attached itself to the burlap? Mine didnt & it's been a year
You could totally add them into one pot. I just want to focus on one plant to mature its leaves. I plan on prop and chopping it as soon as it grows up the pole. I did notice a root on my monstera and one other plant (can't remember this very second). Not my favorite method, but as long as it grows upwards then it's good

Thank you for video! :)
My pleasure! Thanks for watching Sindy!
Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing plants lovely collection
Thanks Jillian
Hey. I have many plants growing up on floor trimmings. Ha Ha...it works and my Pothos are doing great!! I love you vids, dude. Thank you for sharing!!!
Thanks Elmer!!
Looks great! Can’t wait for an update in a few months!
Absolutely!
Im so happy coz i found you. These vids help nab like me.
Awesome and welcome!
Wow, that looks great! The leaves are beautiful! My golden pothos is small yet.
Thanks Anne!
Nice video . So far my favorite pothos. Is the Cebu blue. Nice of you too share.
Thanks for watching yet again Ming Lee
@@EverythingPlants well ,. The videos are great 👍👍👍. Gotta give credit where , credit is due. 🤓💯🌟!!!
@@minglee4121 aww....that is so kind of you
@@EverythingPlants I'm a kind person. Overall. 😊. Take it easy. Careful with the wood planks. Lol. 😅

I usually grab stuff from our recycling bin haha ♻️

Hey! Which plants to you have on poles? That is kind of my plan for all the planks....to make a full wall of large leaf plants!
Great information!
Thanks Jenny!
Great information! Looking forward to an update. I just put 2 plants on planks! Can’t wait for them to attach.
That is so awesome. Keep me posted with how your plants do!

Hey Karen. I think it will be just fine....I'd leave it be. Just be sure to keep the soil moist and not dry out.
@@EverythingPlants Thank you.

Thnx for answering my question
