6 Excellent Climbing Houseplants

[@eosii]

I just wanna thank you for pronouncing "Cebu" correctly. You are truly the king of plant nomenclature.

[@lrkim94]

I love that you highlighted plants that can often be overlooked by houseplant enthusiasts! I've never even considered getting a cissus because all the hype seems to be around philodendrons.

[@katherinekikozashvili605]

Yes! His videos made me fall in love with cissus!!

[@plantsinner5072]

oooo! Can you explain the reason why they should trail going straight up and not around a moss pole? I'm duuuuumb

[@user-dq9rr9mv3f]

12:03 omg I just got a cutting of this plant that has been in the family for like 30 hrs, and I had no idea what it was.. Just so happen to be checking out ur old vids!

[@ciclid]

Nick baby, I love your videos so much but I gotta crank my volume to hear you! I think you have wonderful info and incredible plants, I can't wait to see more from you

[@IvyMich3ll3]

I feel like with all these wild plants growing I’d be beat to see a plant your! All your B roll clips look amazing

[@juniperparla3584]

Love your suggestions. A question though, why wouldn't it be a good idea to let a plant wrap around a mosspole? I think it looks better than growing it straight up. Is it because it might snap? And also please please do a care video on the cebu blue💙🌿💙🙏 Ta! 🌱💖

[@Iris-gy2mi]

I was wondering the same thing cause it would look more full if wrapped around as it goes up.

[@ListigerJunge]

I want to know too, because I did that some weeks ago 😅

[@marialooksaround]

following, because I do that to my syngonium 😳

[@wfm5121954]

This was an inspiring video. I do have plants that just grow upward. I actually stopped the video to work on a Hoya that was perfectly suited for a round metal form I had. It was a found item. Great ideas. Thank you.

[@lynneevaskevich4291]

Thanks! Another great video! I can’t hang any of my plants, other than a Silvery Anne Scindapsis, on top of a tall bookshelf, because I’m in an apartment. So everything is climbing - Hoyas, Monstera Deliciosa, Pink Princess Philodendron, on Moss poles, bamboo hoops and trellises. I do have string of pearls and Hoya Linearis hanging from tall pots and plant stands. I love that you can laugh about your out of control plants! Take care! 💕🇨🇦

My monstera adansonii wide form came to me in October last year and it was oddly very cold and it was damaged. Now it's recovered and vining like crazy. I was about to wrap it around a pole 🙄. I have a narrow that's still young and bushy. All kinds of pothos and different kinds of arrowheads everywhere. I haven't snagged a cedu yet.

[@leadowers1011]

Thank you for the 15% OFF. Just purchased my soltech light and super excited.

[@StrangeDisposition]

I wrapped my adansonii up, down and around a coir pole and I don’t regret it 😅 because otherwise the pole would be too short.

[@glennroe1744]

Absolutely so happy I discovered your channel. It has only been a day and I have learned so much.

[@hollyhasegawa6095]

I love all of the plants you talked about, I have the Cebu blue and the Hoya australis the Cebu is trailing right now, but most of my Hoya are growing up a pole or a bamboo hoop or a teepee that I made for it, I have noticed that my Hoyas like to wind themselves around whatever is near by, that makes me giggle, plus most are hanging and winding up and around I only have 5 that have a bamboo stick they are climbing up. I would love to get a Rhaphidophora tetrasperma someday. I do have a Philodendron Bipennifolium which I need to get it on a moss pole, my narrow leaf Monstera Adansonii is on a bamboo stick till I can get a moss pole for her. Thanks so much for sharing this video I really enjoyed it, take care and stay safe, sending love and hugs, bye for now.

[@valeriehowden471]

Like your choices however wondering what is up with not wrapping the vines around the pole? Don't they do that in nature?

[@vanessayeager8762]

It's a WHOLE new World!!!! haha :D Thanks Again for such a great video to watch and I never though of Cissus either. now ill keep my eye out for some. I love me some trailing plants.

[@mackenzieatkins7331]

Can you make a video specifically about different growing lights (how to choose them, which ones are the best, etc) please?

[@green_eye_gossip]

Nick, could you please do some future videos where you focus on Just one plant for the whole video? Like, how to keep it alive throughout the year. You’re great! Thanks nick

[@laurachapin204]

Just water propagated some Cebu Blue cuttings from one of my hanging baskets. Wasn't really sure how to use them. Now I know! They're going on a moss pole! Thanks, Nick! 😘

[@sherluthien]

I have my Hoya pubicalyx Splash on the very same bamboo hoop, it's so happy and growing fast!! It's well on it's way to lapping the hoop twice. :)

[@jen7332]

How do you repot plants that are attached to a moss pole or trellis? Do you have to detach everything?

[@marialooksaround]

I transplant them together with the pole. I think it could damage the plant to detach everything.. I am wondering how Nick is going to repot his raphidophora on the trellis, we need a video when that happens 🙈

[@jen7332]

@@marialooksaround right interesting, I dont have any plants on a trellis or a pole because I just feel like the ones I have grow so fast and I repot all the time, I agree I would like to see how he plans on repotting that beauty!

[@stephenohara3014]

How about ficus pumila, creeping fig? I find it is much easier than English ivy but looks similar. It can be allowed to dry out however. It is much more sensitive to that than English ivy. However, it stands up to shade and cold very well and doesn't get spider mites.

[@carolynallen597]

Nick, I love your videos, so informative and you are very charming. You mention that you shouldn't wrap your plant around the pole, why is that?

[@KM-690]

Nick........i love you, you're awesome. i love the ideas you give with your plant recommendations! i am definitely looking into that light. it will give me more reason to buy more plants LOL

[@KM-690]

EDIT: I just talked to their support and they are SUPER awesome! very nice and so helpful and can I say RESPONSIVE! Thanks again Nick!

[@pujagopalakrishnan6767]

Hi, I really like your videos and content. I had a request thought. Could you do a video on the care, pot size, root steucture and other requirements for the Cissus plant you showed in this video pls? I have the same one. But couldn't figure out which plant that was until I watched your video just now. So thank you for that. And realised there are hardly any videos on this particular one's care and requirement.

[@Justjaspy]

just double stacked same moss poles for my wide form! almost 4ft!!

[@RoseR7997]

I got some Cebu Blue cuttings from a friend about a year ago. I am so in love with that plant. I wouldn't mind having several of them around the house. I just recently ordered a Brandi and I am hoping I can trade a cutting of it for some more Cebu blue from my friend , LOL

[@lilynoir3939]

U can train Hoyas into a sphere with a trellis, its really pretty

[@ruthlocklear8420]

What is the price of your plants

[@koholohan3478]

Here in Florida, so many people have planted pathos in their yard long ago, and they've climbed up trees and gotten so much light and climbed so much, they've actually developed fenestrations like a deliciosa.

[@katiecarole2367]

That’s so cool, I didn’t even know they could do that!

[@Arunfiable]

I would have loved to see a pic of the large adonsoni leaves you talked about or the larger Hoya you mentioned that wrapped around the pole more.

[@EnchantedwithPoodles]

Interesting, Nick, thank you. I’m curious about why you recommend growing the vines straight up the moss pole rather than winding the vine around the pole? Thanks again, I really your videos.

[@beckstrommer819]

no one ever talks about cissus rotundifolia I love this plant, it doesn't get enough recognition.

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Nick! This was another fun video! I love the different options for climbing plants. I'd like to know, as others have asked, why wouldn't you wrap the vines around the moss pole? I have a cebu blue, golden pothos, marble queen pothos and philodendron brasil that I'm considering adding something for them to climb as they're starting to vine and would love to know why you wouldn't wrap them. I noticed that your Hoya seems to be wrapped, so is it ok to wrap Hoyas? I have one that I'm, also, considering adding something for it to climb. Thank you so much for sharing and I hope you will respond and answer the reason for not wrapping vines.

[@johnathanbrewer7271]

Love your plants!!! You have some gorgeous eyes!!!!

[@Bacon-wobbles]

I JUST bought two soltech lights bc of your previous recommendation and I could've use the code 😭😭😭

[@Ferrishyn1]

Is it ok not to have them going straight up on a moss pole? I wrapped mine...now Im paranoid its wrong lol

[@AkkunPakkun]

I didn't want to put my golden pothos on a moss pole because I tried it before and it was just too hectic for me. So I started wrapping the vines back into the pot to make it bushier. And it did make it bushier! And the aerial roots were attaching to the soil and causing the leaves to grow larger! It's kind of like a cool experiment I tried and in fact I do notice larger leaf growth! My pothos is very bushy and loving life now. I hope this helps. :)

[@jeaneperson3471]

Why not wrap instead of up?

[@tracyloeffler7616]

Understanding more and more on how to get my climbers to climb. Question; I had bought a golden pothos to have it climb. It is one of my larger plants, but it was definitely not taking care of at the store. However I got it at a very inexpensive price. The Ariel roots are pretty bad. I have heard to leave them alone, and I have heard to cut them off so new ones can grow in order to attach to the pole. I would appreciate your opinion on this, before I commit to surgery on this. Most of this pathos has come back and looks quite happy. I have the velcro on three parts of the pole, but they're not real tight of course. Any suggestions you have, again I would deeply appreciate it. Thank you very much. I have subscribed to you quite a while ago you give quite a bit of information. Thank you, Tracy

I feel your pain, friend 😩 I'm in the US and it is impossible to find here where I am as well... and it is my number 1 wishlist plant 😭 all anyone sells online are cuttings and they're expensive.. and every time the actual plants come back in stock on any of the sites I'm registered to be notified on, I'm always too late and they sell out or the site crashes. I just tried today on Steve's Leaves - got the notification immediately and was on the site within 30 seconds but it wouldn't load and by the time it did they were gone. Fingers crossed I can get an actual plant of this one day 😭 and I hope you can, too ❤

[@miasewell2539]

[@AndYourLittleDog]

Same question! The staked epipremnums I see in nurseries are wound around a pole but all the plant youtubers go straight up. Is there a reason for one method over another or is it just personal preference? What do you think, Nick?

[@xMuninn]

[@karlyharris2941]

Hey Nick, I used a bamboo stake once and it gave my plant a fungal infection (the roots and the section of bamboo in the soil had black fungus all over) Is there a way to clean the bamboo so this doesnt happen? Do you do anything to prepare a bamboo stake before you use it in soil?

[@AA-vr8ve]

Maybe boil it? Or put cinnamon on it??

[@cathyversteeg3051]

Thanks Nick! I've read that moss poles need to be kept damp, is that true? Seems odd if so since training on a hoop or bamboo wouldn't provide any moisture. I'm trying to decide the best way to go since I'm new at this.

[@klaaskingma7435]

Moss polls don’t HAVE to be kept moist but keeping it moist would make the plant grab on to the moss poll because it will put air roots into the moss

I have cebu blue climbing up two bamboo hoops that I tied together on the top in the center. It’s in a rather large pot that I placed on a small table so I let some of it trail down and on those I noticed some of the nodes are not producing leaves...what does that mean; does it need more light? It was in a hanging basket when I purchased it and the leaves were fine. I’m thinking of propagating it and wonder if I cut the stems with nodes (they look like leaves that will not unfurl) and no leaves will it root? Thanks for another great video!
