Moss Poles - what they are, why you need one, and how to use one.

  • his video is all about moss poles and why our epiphytic aroids need them in order to achieve those huge split leaves very quickly. I explain the science behind why plants need this climbing medium to thrive, what they are made of, and how we can train our plants to climb up a moss pole on their own. I also show you how I install a moss pole for a golden pothos, and air layering a philodendron sharoniae to a moss pole using sphagnum moss. There’s a moss pole plant tour in the middle of the video to further show you what I am talking about. Enjoy!

    I've realized once again how great the houseplant community is and how we're all on one world!
    We're all learning to help our plant babies thrive in our homes (you're pointing out the best ways to mimic their natural environments). And we seem to have the same pests even on opposite sides of the world.
    Let's keep learning to take care of plants and help them take over the world! 🌏🌎🌍

    "There's no right or wrong answer, tiny leaves are also beautiful" - so true! I have a Philodendron brasil that trails down and makes beautiful little leaves. The whole plant is a really pleasing shape because of it :)

    Another way to encourage the aerial roots to latch itself onto the pole & also to encourage the plants to produce bigger leaves is by misting the pole with diluted rooting hormone frequently :)
