  • In this video I show my method of mounting houseplants that I use at the plant store where I work - Urban Jungle in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Thanks for watching!
    Supplies needed:
    • Cork bark / rot resistant wood
    • Epiphytic houseplant (Hoya, Fern, Epiphyllum, Rhipsalis, Bromeliads...)
    • Sphagnum moss
    • Preserved sheet moss (optional)
    • Fishing line
    • Malleable wire (Bonsai or Florists Wire works great)
    • Scissors / wire cutters
    • Drill / hammer (to create hole for hanging wire)

    I really liked your demonstration . It looks pretty simple to do and I like the use of sheet moss to finish it off. I think that will also help hold in moisture as well. I want to mount some bromeliads and ferns on my patio wall to save space and add interest , and this technique will give me some versatility .

    Hi Nick, I have never heard of this technique before- and I LOVE IT! ❤️ I’m a total outdoor food grower (veggies, berries, grafting fruit trees). Houseplants have never been a favorite of mine, having only a few. THIS looks amazing to me- with all the outdoor elements look to it- I totally want to go for it and cover my walls! I just love these mounting videos you make! Thank you for sharing your ideas and talents with us! 🌱🌟

    Gorgeous! Nick, I purchased a small Japanese birds nest fern that was mounted on a board and I think I didn’t water it enough. If the leaves are still green but feel dry and, sadly, bordering on crunchy, is my plant dead or can I revive it? It’s in a hallway with far indirect light in NYC. Thanks for any info (if not you, any other gardeners reading this).
