I had to watch this twice. Once to learn about the no pot update and again to watch a full video of Bradley demanding love and his own few moments of camera time ❤❤
I've started cutting stems between nodes on my plants growing on poles (rooted in), I leave them all attached to pole and the plant then produce new growth points. Looks way fuller. So the same concept ❤
Since I have transitioned to poles with plastic backing (I am making my own huge poles from plastic gutters) my plants have exploded. All thanks to all your guidance! Thanks!
I've seen many debates around plants growing up moss poles. Some people believe that they are one plant supported by the root system at the bottom of the pot, others believe that they are a collection of individual plants. Aroids are very much like brambles and strawberries, they essentially sucker and run. Once roots have established, each section is its own individual plant. It's important to treat the moss pole like the mother plant within the container.
Thank you for sharing this! I’d never considered just not repotting my too cutting. I’ve just finished off a massive project turn a side fence into a support structure for a green wall and lots of hanging plants. This will help me keep the weight down!
Thank you Jan. This is an excellent idea. Something to try once my plants are mature enough to put onto moss poles or the ones that are already on the moss poles have grown more roots. Bradley wants to be the star of your videos 😻❤
There are a few names that you should trademark Jan: “chop & extend,” “vertical pot” & a few more. Thanks for sharing such insight into an unconventional way of growing plants!
Thanks so much. I recall watching that video a while ago. I guess I should’ve waited a bit. It’s my Rhaf tet so it’s just a test plant. I basically cut it this morning and pulled out the top. Lost a root and then planted it back in the bottom and tried to push the route into the moss pole, I guess I have to be more patient. Love your videos thanks so much.
Another fun video! As I was watching, I was expecting the plant to keep maturing nicely. How I understand it is these plants would be growing on trees and such which isn’t necessarily the best growing medium, but they still grow huge leaves. I was interested to see the roots wanting to grow down which made me curious to know if the wild plants try to ultimately send their roots down or are they just trying to attach on whatever they’re growing on. Very cool though. I think pots are still very helpful for thriving plants, but you can still get great results without a pot.
I believe in nature the plants would have some ankering roots but also some growing down into the soil :) ultimately we are cheating nature so of course a pot would be helpful but not a necessity :) conditions will always dictate the growth potential:)
Could be a cool trend, Jan! I’m sure the 3-d imaging designers out there… could come up with something that you can fill with moss (or whatever) and hang vertically on a wall.
@@sydneyplantguy I’m talking about something that can hang on drywall… no muss, no fuss - easy peasy. Like something with a bottom - to catch excess water and keep moisture away from the drywall. No mold, no problems, just chic! 😊
My Dubia now is about the same as yours was in the video 16 month ago. once mine is ready for a chop and extend, I will try the experiment for my self. Though mine might be a mess at first as it's in coco chip as of right now.
Jan, is everything OK? You video was only 8min lol jk thank you for sharing this experiment. The plant still turned out beautifully. I love Brad's little sneaky attempt to steal the dead leaf ❤
Wishing I had a green house to hang all the double moss poles around here. Ive had a couple tip over when watering 🙀 ( cache pot fit difficulties) Now if we can just figure out an esthethic/cat proof/ mess free hanging system for indoors, wouldn't that be cool?😻
At the starting shot, on the left, is Thaumatophyllum Bipinnatifidum if I remember correctly. Certainly looks like it a lot, would certainly love to add one to my collection :)
@@KayBXSelloum is another name for that species, but it changed genus because Thaumatophyllum don't climb in the way Philodendron do or not at all, don't quote me on that last part 😂
Love your content, I learned so much! 🌿🌿🌿Been thinking about to start my own potless poles now, really like how it looks. Since moss is so expensive, do you think I can mix it with some bark?
@@sydneyplantguy great, thx! any experience on whether the type of bark makes any difference? simple bark mulch (mainly general soft wood bark) is only half the price of pine bark
Hi there from Canada do you have a video that shows once you cut the plant in several sections how you get each section off that main pole without breaking the roots do you have to open it up or just gently pull out the roots and then when you plant it each section I mean into another moss pole do you do that with the moss pole open and then close the roots with Moss? Not sure if that makes sense.
So I started 3 moss poles last weekend. For my mini monstera, monstera Thai, and adansonii. So far after 2 weeks I don’t see that they’ve started to grow roots into the pole yet. Is that normal? About how long should it take?
I saw dubias in Panama growing along rocks and cliffs in their juvenile form and high up in trees in their mature form. The largest ones in the canopy had leafless remnants of their old stem towards the bottom of the tree, and their root systems sprawled across the tree bark were quite small compared to the size of the plant. It would probably surprise a lot of aroid collectors how quickly they can size up without a massive root system. Great job showing everyone that Monsteras and other climbers can grow in vertical planters without pots! 😄🙌

Done that many times myself :) it’s by far the best propagation method :)
Talking of fertilising, do you still bottle feed outside moss poles or what? I think I might be neglecting mine 😬
That was really interesting, thanks for sharing your knowledge Jan. You're very good at what you do 😊
Since I have transitioned to poles with plastic backing (I am making my own huge poles from plastic gutters) my plants have exploded. All thanks to all your guidance! Thanks!

"You can sniff, but you can't eat" followed by "Excuse me? You are blocking the view!" and that cute nose boop had me in stitches! 😂🌿🐈🌿❤❤❤

You're seriously the masterclass in Herculean leaves. Every time, I'm still, like what??? And, that diva Brad. 😂❤
Hehe thank you:)
I love how you are filming but are always aware where Bradley is❤

Results speak for themselves right ?!:) no need to debate 🤭🤭
I love how Brad is just “enter stage right!” Haha
He’s the best cat ❤
He is the sweetest :)
@@sydneyplantguy how do you teach Brad not to eat or knock down your plants? Really well behaved cat :)
2:36 Wow, Bradley obviously knows how to beam himself into the room! 🌿😸🛸🌿😄❤
😅
how cool! i love your experiments + Brad is always the star of the show!
Thanks :)
I bought a Verrucosum at bunnings tonight. Good luck to me🎉🎉🎉. Potless, good grow Jan❤, looks good
Happy growing :)

We know this already and still is amazing to see the results each time..✨..I haven't done this yet but I will ..

As always, great seeing and listening to you talking about plants and giving advice on how to keep them healthy! Awesome content SPG 😊

I cant remember, is that Philadendron beside you in a Pot? Cheers mate.
I think a Philodendron Selloum 'Hope'?

Yes that’s a thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum (used to be called ‘tree philodendron’ but it’s been re-classified) and it’s in a 30cm pot :)
@@Tminus89 thanks. Haha I didn’t know that 🤣.
Whoever changes the name of the genus would stop 🤣

Really depends kn the plant and how good the growing conditions are but 2 weeks isn’t a long time :) stay patient :)
@@sydneyplantguy thank you! :)
How do you provide nutrition to this plant?
Love frome pakistan
Via the water :)
I want this plant ….😩😩😩
💜💜
Newbie here...could I grow fruit + veg like this?
No :) this is for semi-epiphytes and epiphytes (basically tropical plants that grow up a tree in the trainforest)
