For my baby plants, I use clear Boba Tea straws as moss poles. I cut them once vertically, pack in moss (and a couple large leca balls to keep the straw open a little more). This works great for me because it takes longer to dry out and it's super easy to make. I can even stack the straws on top of one another if I need to extend the poles.

Love your idea, I'm so not crafty mine got a bamboo stick and a prayer. Seriously your plants speak for themselves and i enjoy your videos so much.

Wicking rope is typically made from nylon. The outer part of the rope is braided nylon, while the inside (the wick) are made up of loose nylon fibers. If you take a piece of nylon rope and two cups, fill one cup up with water and set the empty cup right next to it. Put one end of the rope in the empty cup and the other end in the cup with water. The water will wick and move to the empty cup.

I showed my mom this video (she's my best plant friend) and she goes "why aren't you this smart?"

The only hour-long vidoes that I do not find dragging, boring and uninteresting at all. Keep on sharing your plant journey as it inspires me alot. Subscriber from the Philippines here. 😊😊😊

This is such a great idea. Can't wait to see how you assemble one for a beefier plant like a Monstera... hugs to Pudge🤗

Your lazy pole basically a pole with air layering benefits. Absolutely love it. I would like to try it but I'm too lazy to even make this lazy pole 😂 And few days ago i saw a clear pipes at materials store, immediately thought of your lazy pole. I think it can be the level up version of your pole, but we need to cut it in half or make an opening at the side.

I am obsessed with these Lazy Poles! Thank you so much for sharing! I can’t wait to try this out with my plants 🙂

I’m obseeeessedddd with your shirt. Every time I sees it I wants it! 🤩😌

I've never found a moss/coco pole that I like. But this is super intriguing! Some ideas to make it umm, more lazy...... Get a cheap paper trimmer to make it easy to trim the plastic sheets and get a straight line too. Punch two overlapping holes so you don't have to cut the velcro in three.

Wow your glorious is stunning 😁Also you look beautiful, there is no need to be so self-conscious!

Woohoo! 🤘Been waiting for this♥️

I really like the clear plastic lazy pole! It looks so much better, plus holds in the water, plus directs roots to stay in the pole. I like too that you can reuse materials--need to try this soon. I can totally relate to the "overwhelm" feeling when faced with a big job like repotting that glorious. I like how you talked yourself through it.

Been looking for both functional and aesthetically pleasing moss pole, you’re design the PERFECT one I’ve ever seen! Cant wait to try it out 🙋🏻‍♀️Amazing videos and your voice is very sweet! Also really nice to see your face too😊

This was very interesting. I’m looking forward to number three.

Yes 👏 I have been reusing Starbucks cups and I’m saving 2-liter pop bottle for a pole as well.

I haven’t used poles yet, so I’m definitely going to try this!

Scotch makes clear 1in x 3in velcro strips that will definitely be stronger than those little Velcro dots! Hopefully they’re available in Canada! Love you videos btw 🥰

Love these poles!

Hi, I've just found about your channel from Fern's videos and oh wow, these lazy poles are awesome! I'm looking forward to trying it :-)

LOL🤪 I have made my moss poles just like yours before watching your channel , they came out as a result from a failed attempt to make a plastic back and mess moss pole ( the plastic I've got its very stiff and was an impossible mission to bend ) , my plants were already growing large and imagined they would take forever to start attaching and also did not wanted to put it to my smaller aroids and wait the eternity . So several of my plants are growing happily in lazy poles . Glad I am not alone

Love this!! I made the D-shaped one a few weeks ago, following Alice's tutorial, and my cebu blues are loving it. Totally going to do this new version for my manjula and majestic :) Also!!! I too used to love the magic of those projectors when we were younger - I believe they're just referred to as "overhead" projectors - as a new teacher, the new tech just isn't as satisfying!

Omg your shirt !!!! Love it , and hate it lol (plant thrips )

What i do is i tie my climbers to a pole and then each node I enclose them with plastic cups(cut them half but still attach, then tape it back or anything just to close it back) then put some sphagnum moss inside the cup. I let the bottom part of the plant to attach its root to pole to mature then the upper part I enclose them with sphagnum.

I have a couple of moss poles, couple pieces of wood wrapped in coco fiber and a couple with just a wooden board. The plants seem to really really love just the bare wood. The moss is ok but they don’t attach nearly as well or as quickly, the coco seems like it isn’t working at all though. I didn’t seal the wood so they will definitely break in a couple years from rot but I’ll deal with that when it comes and seal the future ones I guess 😂

I only discovered your channel recently, and I’m finding it enjoyable and interesting. My thinking on moss poles is definitely evolving, and I hope you continue to share your journey in supporting plants. (Also, you are even cuter than Pudge, so you shouldn’t feel that headlessness is your preferred video framing!)

Hi love you and I was so looking forward to this part 2 video☀️! My cat sometimes gets a lil depressor espresso and I just say hey you’re allowed to have an off week so send pudge my love and im sure he’ll be costarring next video! Also random thing I came across this KZfaqr named Gardening in Canada she’s amazing but she mentioned how mychorrizal inoculant doesn’t do well in the heat so I’ve been storing mine in the fridge! Might be good to consider with summer coming up! Xoxo

Omggg love your t shirt

Love your lazy moss poles, I am going to try next week. Where do you get the velcro ties?

Pudge's allergy medication could be the culprit for his systems, but is still sooo cute!!

Okay so, you are literally SO BEAUTIFUL 😍 and I get being anxious so I'm not saying you need to show your face ever but I needed to say you are gorgeous and you look 100% like your sister lol That's all, bye! Love you!

I love your shirt LOL🤣

What a coincidence, I made my first lazy moss pole today!😂💖

Could you try using those snaps that come on the roll up potting Mat for the plastic strap? I know that would take away from the laziness but the aesthetic would be there.

I like your thrips shirt! Lol

This is great can u use a water bottle or takeaway cup?

Hi planty friend where do you get those plastic things for the moss poles?

Love it !! What type of water and lights are you using on your plants?

Tree fern fibre is next level as a growing & propagating substrate! I feel lucky to live in New Zealand where both tree fern fibre & half moon poles are readily available for reasonable prices… That being said our selection of rare plants is quite limited as our bio security laws are very strict :(

im a simple man, I see Charmaine & Pudge and I click 😂

Ugh, I really like the concept of using those PVC strips. It seems like it would have the added bonus of keeping the moisture in a little longer too. I always hated how quickly the typical moss poles dried out.

Love this. I do your older version of lazy poles but they're messy! I definitely like this method. HOW do you decide which plants to place in pond (spelling?) And which to do in soil?!

💚💚💚

Where do you get your clear plastic containers? Having so much trouble finding some

Would this work for plants that go out for summer ??

how would you add this pole to a plant thats already settled in soil in a clear pot? not sure how to attach these clear sheets to bamboo pole so the sheet will not slide down. any ideas?

It is more thing to buy but You can use plastic snaps as closure???

What do you do with all the moss from the moss pole and old potting soil you get off of the roots?

💚

Do you have problems with soil gnats.

not to be gross, but i use a nail clippers instead of a punch but it works cause its flatter. worth a shot lol

👍❤️

This may seem like a pretty basic question but I assume that as the plant grows you keep adding moss?

I just use plant poles and sticks to support my tall plants and trellis for trailing plants. I try to keep my plant care minimum work as much as i can. Trying to juggle with work, house chores and cooking takes alot of my time. Weekends i spend my plants more. Your perlites looks big i hope i come across a bigger version and less fumes aswell. Your sister looks pretty she looks different do she look like more of your dad? You look more like your mum. Any tips on how to to make roots grow longer? I have these plants that i order that comes in these annoying plugs as there roots are not established. Thanks. You should not worry how you look in the camera too much you are adorable i feel if i was talking directly at the camera I would feel more shy but if you are working on something while filming i feel less pressured. I have watched other vlogs while they are in there pyjamas and no makeup making videos.

How do you cut it straight?

💚💚

What kind of plastic did you get?

╔════════════⍱╮ || | | ╚════════════⍲╯ ^ ^ Slit Shove in Slit (this part should get trapped in the slit) What if you cut a slip on the PVC strap but not end to end just like an inner slit....and on the other side you do triangles that the slit can catch on to? Think of the boxes most skincare comes in and how the little flap has those slips that the side of the box catches? Idk 😅 Or Maybe if thats too much just Glue dots LOL see drawing above

where did you buy the plastic sheet?

Anyone found this plastic sheeting or similar in the UK?

How does the stem not rot while sitting in the moss like that?

Looks like you may have used a flame to sterilize those sheers🤔 I quit sterilizing mine like that cuz that black soot it leaves behind annoyed me😂

Why not assable the strips first. And then slide them on and in place. That way you don't have to hold everything together while you try to connect the velcro.

No! I love the way they look, I get wanting nicely designed pots and stuff but I think the crafty look has way more character, and if the plant is growing well enough it outshines the pot and pole imo

6 minutes in… I’m so thankful you say “damp” and not the gross “m” word.

Snap button kits on amazon are pretty cheap and easy to use! They come with the tools to install and they may be an option for the straps as well!

How about trying those plastic snap buttons that are used on the plastic plant mats used for repotting? …And your face is beautiful.

*PETS TOTALLY CAN GET SEASONAL DEPRESSION* my dog gets Prozac every fall and winter. I swear. Edited for this ?: where do you get orchiata?

You could connect the initial holder velcro loops first and then slide them onto the clear plastic, so they don't keep popping open.

Your beautiful babe.😁

Macrame cord will mold.

You should check out Root_Leaves_ Reads channel. She does really good tutorials with moss poles with the plastic backing and a great video on how to water them in your home.

First!

I’m to obsessive about straight line not to measure before cutting

Sorry l meant with fungus gnats.

The Singapore Instagram stole designs from two different small businesses

Pets have no concept of time. He isn’t aware of the u coming time change.

Love that look but girl, in no way is this a lazy anything!
