My dear woman, you are a Mom of 2 young children, a wife, you run a business, and you do UA-cam. Add a ton of plants to the mix and a few chickens. You should be congratulated. Harli, you're a superhero ❤️ Honestly, I love all your content
@@rhondaweaver4486 Hi Rhonda, it really depends on you and what you want to do, what I like to do is use a spray bottle and spray the pole from top to bottom. If a plant is fully growing up the pole I normally spray the pole and the aerial roots of the plant. Note: Don't drench the pole though so waters dripping out. Hope this helps 🙂
Sydney Plant Guy makes these style of moss poles and I’ve been wanting to make one! He keeps the pole wet by drilling a hole in the cap of a water bottle then he puts it upside down on the top of the pole! Keeping the moss wet helps the plant root a bunch into the pole which helps size them up!
Ohh another good tip I saw was from the jungle haven and she puts a plastic cup with a hole in it at the top and just fills the cup with water and let’s gravity do the rest. I think that would also help with keeping the moss hydrated 😊 I’ve been wanting to make a moss pole as well and I think I’ll do that today too, love love love
The ASMR in this video is real! The snapping of the cutters on the wire, the perlite pouring and mixing! Wow thank you girl. From one saddy to another.
I just made my first moss pole a couple of days ago. One of the best tips I've got to bend the sharp ends inside, in order to avoid cuts (for your fingers' and for your plants' sake too) :D
Don't apologize. Your content is fine. You still have the same enthusiasm, joy and wonder you did when I first started watching your channel. Which says a lot about your dedication to your plants and your followers. We're not going anywhere.
One of these days I will get the time and space to give some of my plants moss poles. But love watching/listening to this while doing my own plant chores.
i also realy like how enthousisatic you talk about jake's plants. That's really sweet and cute that you share who inspired you and how much. it's more than just a shout out in the beginning of the video out of obligation if that makes sense. i like this way more
Awh this video made me so happy!!! Highly recommend “plastic hardware cloth” its easier to use imo and holds perfectly. Also if you’re ever not in the mood to spray the poles, I highly recommend water bulbs, can fill those up and just stab them through the top and let it do it’s things. Just saves time and effort, especially when I’m in a funk and can’t make myself do things 😅
@@briannachonos6923 it depends how big your poles are. I’d say i refill mine about every three days, but that’s just because my poles are thinner. If you have thicker ones I think the moss stays moist for longer. Since I use the plastic mesh I can give the poles a squeeze and can hear if the moss is dry or if it can go another day. Hope this helps 💕
Just made a few mosspoles a couple of days ago, all i do now is stare at the plants waiting for them to attach and grow. Unhealthy mental behavior, but its great! And fun to find new ways to take care of my plants. Love your content!
Love the look of those, more than most. Can't wait to see what they will do. No apologies, life happens. Your videos are some of my zen time. Glad to see you!
I have an almost 3 year old and a baby that just turned 1 and it’s hard, I stay up late to do plant things or get up early, your doing great and I love your videos, your amazing!
I didn't get super into plants until AFTER my 3rd was born and it actually became the 1st real hobby I've ever had and helped fight off some sadness..... this video is me in the middle of the night when kids are out finally.... cutting plants at 1am gave me stitches for the 1st time in my life when a tiny terrarium attacked
It’s fun to see you excited again Harli. I feel ya on that kiddo up in the middle of the night. I wish I’d have been more flexible about it like you are. My son didn’t sleep and it drove me bonkers. Hindsight, I would do exactly what you did and roll with it. Love your moss poles!! I’m terrible about watering them and have moved to planks, but yours are fantastic!
When it comes time to water the plant itself I’ve seen folks fill a water bottle and dump it upside down onto the top of the moss pole. It will trickle down and moisten the moss while watering the plant
Awesome! This was fun. I’ve only made one moss pole like this and it is fun! Hardware cloth is what you’re using-the chicken wire stuff that is squares.
Mental health is always so important, so glad to hear you and see you full of happiness !!😍😍 I love how the plant turned out! I’ve only purchased moss poles on Amazon, but now I want to diy them like you!🪴💚
Just recently started to watch your channel, am enjoying watching you and your plants. Tip for watering moss poles is a plastic bottle with small holes in the lid and balance them on top and letting them drip slowly into the moss and just get on with your day. one of the best to watch for moss poles and watering is Sydney Plant Guy his plants are magnificent
Oh my gosh, SPG's plants are freaks of nature, aren't they? The leaves of his aroids are some of the largest I have ever seen. I like how he offhandedly says "you know, I don't do anything special, just water it, let it grow", lol!! But Sydney has a very temperate climate, so probably a longer growing season than many cities here in the US, and certainly longer than I have here in Ohio...
I relate so much to this as a plant lover, busy mom, etc. My mental health has really been struggling lately, but watching your videos helps me realize it’s not just me- thankful for you being honest with us, your viewers. ❤️
I’ve tried the metal ones and hated them. I hated getting stabbed 😅 but now I use PVC pipes I find on the freeway and drill holes in it, plastic chicken fencing and then zip tie the back. Works like a charm.
This video was so relatable! I have also been watching and admiring Jake so much, and set out to make moss poles. It went pretty much like you, my hands hurt but I was so happy and proud by the end result! So nice to see you make videos that gives you energy
I’ve seen ppl put a a plastic cup with water (that has a hole in the bottom) on top of the moss pole to keep the pole always wet. I think it s easier than spraying it all the time 😊
Stan Harli G 5everrrrrr. I started planting around the same time you did and used exclusively watch only plant-tube. Now it’s kind of repetitive (no offense to anyone) so I laid off but anytime Harli posts, watch instantly. No matter the content!!!!
OMG! I'm glad I'm watching your video today coz I was literally watching this guy's video the other day and I saw all those interesting moss poles and I kept wondering how he made them! Love your video btw 😍🥰
Loved this video! I'm inspired and will be making some of these...I hope I will be able to see their growth in more videos (will be checking out your channel as soon as I've watched all the vid ) x
So impressed- I have a plant that needs this but wondered how well they work. Can’t believe your Baby is 1!! Please reach out if your mood does not improve your Heath and mental health is important!!
I am so glad you are in a better place, mentally. It can be so difficult in that first year, especially when you have 2! I have seen people with moss polls set up a sort of wick system to help it stay moist. I can't remember who it was, but I saw someone have a water bottle full of water with a couple of holes poked in the lid that was sticking out of the top of their moss pole to keep it moist.
Harli I haven't commented in awhile because I have been watching on my tv and I don't know if there is a way to comment. Love you. Keep doing you. Glad you are beating the blues.
The funniest thing I found was you using your mouth to open things when your snippers were sitting right next to you 🤣 God I love your work! Thanks for another awesome video lovely x
Love the poles!!! But you really don’t have to put moss all the way up, just to where the latest nodes are and slowly keep adding moss to the pole as the plant grows:) that way you don’t have to use that much moss from the beginning and also they’re easier to maintain moist 😊💖
I love it!!! Something that will help you close the moss pole is putting less sphagnum moss inside. The first one you were trying soooo hard to close it, when you could have pulled out a little bit of moss to help your poor hands 💕 I used plastic coated metal mesh so it doesn’t rust, and mine was green - so I got green zip ties to blend in. Yours looks great and I am so happy you are feeling better 💕🥰
Can you share a link to the coated metal mesh you use (I am making the assumption that you bought it on line, not sure why) I am on the fence as to what works well. Thanks if you can help.
@@sonja1437 Thanks for the quick response! I was hoping to get more specific info-- maybe a link to something that works well for you? There are so many types available- a bit overwhelming actually.
You should check out The Jungle Haven, Claire, does these and they’re just so awesome! And she also leaves a bit of room at the top of the moss pole to put a little plastic cup in there with teeny tiny holes in the bottom so the poles gets watered frequently. ☺️✨
Loved this video! Going to make some now as well. The material used is called hardware cloth and looks like you have a 1/2 or 1/4 inch. Either should work well for this.
Love it Harli ! I fill my sphagum moss up in my pole and zip tie starting in center seems to help for me. I also only water my sphagum about 3 inches above the plant so I’m not wasting water on the whole pole and as the plant grows I continually stay above the plant 3 inches of watering
Thank you so much, I've been looking for a way to make moss pole, I finally gave up and order some online not sure what it is yet. Hopefully the right thing, however with you video I have a much better idea how to do it myself. By the way you really seem like a super nice person wish you lived on my block
I love how you ripped the bag open with your teeth when you have a whole scissor type tool right next to you 😂 I really want to make my own moss pole now!
You’re awesome!! Push those “pokeys” into the moss so they won’t poke you when you are closing it up. It will work out. You are fabulously!! We don’t see the “garbage” from this end, so give yourself a break. Kiddos to you, “Mother of two” with farm animals and inside dogs. It’s all a big deal… plus you feed your family!!
So glad your feeling better. Thanks for the moss pole ideas. I'm currently gathering my materials to make my moss pole. I love the idea of putting the soil at the bottom. Aroid District on youtube just made a video on making a self watering moss pole. Basically adding a wick to the center. Love all the ideas in the comments too.
Put a little plastic cup with a small hole in the bottom on top of the pole then you can put water in the cup and it will keep the moss moist. Much easier way to water the moss
Tip: get the plastic coated, it won’t rust. I use a plier to bend the wire ends sticking out too bend too the inside. Takes a little bit more time but there’s no sharpe wire sticking out too get poked on.
Look up the channel "wild fern" she has TONS of videos on moss poles and she shows you updates on the plants that are on moss poles. I really love her channel.
I started making my own moss poles and I really like them. I tried to make them so I could make extensions in the future without ripping my plant off of them :)
OK Harli, I have literally been in a conundrum because I want to make a moss pole but I want to figure out how to make it out of chicken wire because I have an abundance of it - you read my mind! Love this video and your channel thank you 🤍
You are so fun and inspiring person and I love watching your videos! Great energy and I love your jokes💕 You keep on rocking and we'll keep on watching! And I think those moss poles are great! Have to try it too.. What moss and from where you are using?
Couple of thoughts. I try to clip off as much as possible of the spurs when I cut the wire. you need wire cutters for that. What you used looks more like cable cutters. Others bend them inwards. As for watering the moss poles several creators fill old water/soda bottles with water. They have put holes in the lid. Turn them upside down at the top of the pole. At long as the very top of the pole is wet and the bottle top comes in contact with the moss the bottle will drain on its own.
My son in law has a 3D printer and he prints moss poles for my daughter and I. We just fill them up with sphagnum moss. My problem is keeping them moist. Thank you to everyone who has suggestions for that. I’m going to try them right now!
Love you girl and your videos! Just opening my own store would love to send you some clippings!! Also side note only a plant lady would rip the soil open with her teeth and There is snippers beside her hahaha
I feel you a lot on the breastfeeding and babies taking a lot out of you. I’m so ready for my little one to stop breastfeeding so I can get back to me and feel like myself ❤
I bought a moss pole from trufolia and it is self watering moss pole I haven’t used it quite yet I’m waiting for my cuttings to get more roots and stuff but I’m pumped to use it
Moss poles are very hard on the roots of aeroids if you want to extend the length of the plant at a future time. The roots of the plant enmesh themselves into the wire of the pole and are impossible to separate if you want to change to a longer pole. Much better to tie the stems to a wire or wooden trellis so that they can be easily removed if the plant outgrows the trellis. I've also found that once the plant starts to get tall and full, the moss poles cannot support the weight of the foliage unless there's a strong stale inserted into the pot...and one stake...and one moss pole will just make the plant look skinny and top-heavy. A trellis that's wider than a pole...with two or three smaller stakes...balances the weight of the foliage and also makes the plant look fuller.
A part of the fun in watching your videos is your personality, but we see very little interaction on your part with followers on your videos, nor in your trading group. I’m glad you’re in a more stable place mentally, and are feeling more inspired. It’s never too late to turn a situation around! Best wishes.💚
Actually it's great especially cause it's not actually a chicken wire 😂, however if you liked it make them with a real chicken wire it's a lot easier and not harmful for you, and they gonna grow to be so cute, also you can put any similar root system plant in any hole in the moss it looks great if there were many different types of plants on the pole, and thank you for showing everybody how to make one thanks a lot ✌
I recommend checking out Sydney Plant Guy channel. He has in depth guide to moss poles, how to construct and water them. I never try cuttings without roots before so I'm curious with the result from your approach. Hopefully your plant will grow beautifully up the poles you made and please update us on how they do xD
♥️ One note on watering them: I have plenty of those poles small and big and go by Sidneyplantguy's method of watering them by putting a bottle with holes in the cap on top of them. Works a charm 😉
Have you ever seen how @unplantparenthood makes moss poles? I know there’s a bajillion different ways to make them but I think she goes about it in a really cool way too! ◡̈ I have tons of the plastic backings she uses too if you ever wanted to try it, I’d be happy to send them to a PO Box or something! (Trying super hard not to sound like a creep) anywho thanks for always having great content mrs Harli G!

Moss poles are very hard on the roots of aeroids if you want to extend the length of the plant at a future time.
The roots of the plant enmesh themselves into the wire of the pole and are impossible to separate if you want to change to a longer pole.
Much better to tie the stems to a wire or wooden trellis so that they can be easily removed if the plant outgrows the trellis.
I've also found that once the plant starts to get tall and full, the moss poles cannot support the weight of the foliage unless there's a strong stale inserted into the pot...and one stake...and one moss pole will just make the plant look skinny and top-heavy.
A trellis that's wider than a pole...with two or three smaller stakes...balances the weight of the foliage and also makes the plant look fuller.
Does the pole have to be damp all the time?
A part of the fun in watching your videos is your personality, but we see very little interaction on your part with followers on your videos, nor in your trading group. I’m glad you’re in a more stable place mentally, and are feeling more inspired. It’s never too late to turn a situation around! Best wishes.💚
Love the video! As always You are awesome 😜😍
I really want to know.. how you feel about. plank poles? 🤔
You should also watch "the Sydney Plant guy" .. His plants are insanely gorgeous. He uses moss poles and has inspired me to pop all mine on them.
I will just add that I wear my gardening gloves and bend those little bits of wire in so they don't stab me when I zip tie the pole together.
I was going to suggest the same. His pole tutorial is great. Check it out Harli. You’re doing a great job mumma 😊
Actually it's great especially cause it's not actually a chicken wire 😂, however if you liked it make them with a real chicken wire it's a lot easier and not harmful for you, and they gonna grow to be so cute, also you can put any similar root system plant in any hole in the moss it looks great if there were many different types of plants on the pole, and thank you for showing everybody how to make one thanks a lot ✌
I recommend checking out Sydney Plant Guy channel. He has in depth guide to moss poles, how to construct and water them. I never try cuttings without roots before so I'm curious with the result from your approach. Hopefully your plant will grow beautifully up the poles you made and please update us on how they do xD
Love your socks😂
They’re comfy 😋
bestie, where are those socks from?? so cute!!
♥️
One note on watering them: I have plenty of those poles small and big and go by Sidneyplantguy's method of watering them by putting a bottle with holes in the cap on top of them. Works a charm 😉
doesn't it make the whole esthetic look somewhat how should I word it...ugly?
@@aquariusgirl01 why should having a bottle on the pole for like 2-3 minutes make the pole look ugly?
@@berlinaroids oh I thought it was supposed to stay there. sorry my bad
@@aquariusgirl01 no problem, I was just confused for a second there 😉
Good idea is to use plastic covered wire as well- helps with rust…..
No apologies necessary…..honestly, one child for me was all I could be successful managing. Don’t know how women do so much more!❤❤❤
I also have a young kid and baby and I’m always pausing your videos cause I hear Kai/Rei in the background and think it’s my own kids lol
It’s chicken wire to me! When we have babies we need a smaller opening so this is our outer fencing. Chicken wire!
That hardware cloth, I feel you pain 😊
The worst lol
Have you had any problems with rust on the chicken wire? Or is it galvanized?
How do you keep your moss poles wet without overwatering the plant?
Have you ever seen how @unplantparenthood makes moss poles? I know there’s a bajillion different ways to make them but I think she goes about it in a really cool way too! ◡̈ I have tons of the plastic backings she uses too if you ever wanted to try it, I’d be happy to send them to a PO Box or something! (Trying super hard not to sound like a creep) anywho thanks for always having great content mrs Harli G!
I watch her channel pretty frequently, but have somehow missed the moss poles! I’ll go take a look, thanks!
where do you get your moss from?
Check out Sydney plant guy, his moss poles are similar and his plants are incredible, he waters his poles from the top.
Harli, how do I water ready made moss poles? Can you address this? It’s very frustrating today the least.
I made a moss wall with this wire and I hurted myself so bad with the sharp points 😭
