Officially the only trellis making video I need to see. Off to the hardware store!

[@pamgustaveson3735]

I think Betsy and Miro should have their own TV show and get paid really well.

[@betsybegonia]

Mitsy doesn't disagree.

Can we take a moment and show appreciation to the 3 stunning mounted staghorn fern in the background!!!!! Holy Ferns

[@lydiabradley6344]

This video just changed my life. I made two of these trellises this morning and I will be making several more in the spring when I do a bunch of repotting. I already had a big roll of the wire leftover from a different project anyway. This is awesome.

[@YellowPineappleHoyas]

I just started making trellis like this after watching Doug Chamerlain’s trellis video. You did a great job explaining the process too!

[@paulbradshaw3574]

I'm so glad you made a video on this! I've been trying to find some videos for ages! :)

[@betsybegonia]

It's super easy! 😁

[@twilamohammed3426]

Mmm , great idea. I think l'll use zip ties to shape and close my trellis. Thanks for sharing.

[@betsybegonia]

Be careful for mealy bugs that love to hide inside of stuff like that. 😅 That's why I like the Velcro strips. You can detach them and check for mealies.

[@Dollsanity]

This was super helpful, especially discussing where to start winding the plant and cutting the width of the Velcro. 👍🏾

[@betsybegonia]

I'm glad to hear that! Thanks for the feedback.

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Betsy! This was a great tutorial for making a DYI trellis. You explained everything so well that I'm pretty sure that I can do this! LOL! I just need to get the PVC-coated fence/mesh. I have some similar velcro for plants and really like it. I like how it is just one piece and linked together with it's own wire. I'd been trying to figure out how to make something like this, but I was way over-thinking it. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@betsybegonia]

Enjoy your next crafts day. 😄

[@hannaholliges2636]

Wow! I usually let my vining plants hang but this is so fun! I’ll have to try making a trellis and letting it grow up!

[@beh4846]

You're so awesome! I was just in the mood for one of your videos, and didn't even know it! Love and Peace from California, Be. 🕊🕊💖💖

Hey, thanks for the feedback. I'm so glad!

[@plants4brains559]

This was great, I’ve been looking for an easy trellis; but that cat fart 🤣 was the best part.

[@lleo9703]

Thanks, Betsy for a very informative and easy to follow DIY trellis video! Can’t wait to pick up some “rabbit fence” and get started.....Good tips of putting the actual Hoya on the trellis too! 😘

[@betsybegonia]

I suggest keeping rabbits away from your Hoyas, the fence won't keep them out.

[@lleo9703]

@@betsybegonia Oh that’s hysterical! Love your sense of humour! We call it “rabbit fence” here, because used in gardens to theoretically keep rabbits from munching on food crops, although the rabbits often outwit the fences....Wrascally Wrabbits!

[@hollykerosec]

I would love more info on that new Hoya!!! 😳

[@betsybegonia]

The day will come. 😎

[@macm3335]

Hi, thank you for sharing this. Given the size of the trellis you just made, what pot size would bes go with that?

[@veganaktivisten]

When you bounced the empty pot and trellis around LMAO! Thanks for this idea, I just got my first hoya and instantly took it off it's circular trellis because I didn't like the look. But maybe I'll try this instead, to make it look more natural!

[@Wendy-zl8kv]

Thank you for making this for us. I went to Miro (Basie plants the first time I heard you share him with us!! He’s as fun and adorable as you are!!! I subscribed to you both right away 👏🏼

Nice sharing dear ☺️

That Fungii clearly approves, going by the leaf size. :)

I've recently been getting into hoyas and actually just bought a hoya wayetii today so this video is perfect timing lol

[@kimofacertainage]

Thanks for the vid!!! I've been searching for these trellises since watching the Swedish woman with 400+ Hoyas (Summer Rayne). Just ordered the fencing via your link.

[@betsybegonia]

Torril Nyhuus. 🙂 Yes I remember now that she has homemade trellises too.

[@pchan8687]

I ordered the fencing after watching Miro's video lol Your instructions are so helpful! I can't wait to start making some 😊

I understand your excitement over AH074 silver, I purchased one a few months ago, they are gorgeous. Rather than Velcro May I suggest orchid clips? They work wonderful for me. Loved your trellis video, first time watching.

[@mauravandehey6584]

Thank you!!!

My pleasure!

[@necromancer-x]

I just discovered your channel and I love it! You're really funny and quirky haha 🌸 I also love begonias, but I have had such trouble keeping mine alive as my local environment makes it more difficult (superrr dry air, verrry hard water). Eventually I'd like to try to build an Ikea-greenhouse thing when I have money, and would like to fill it with beautiful begonias. I also have a hoya that is on its last leg 😭 I think I'm prone to over-watering it; I think it just does not use as much water as my other plants so I've had trouble keeping the balance. It lost its new growth and other stems... It is now a single leaf clinging on to life 😭 I'm trying very hard to maintain the moisture levels; the plant wasn't cheap, like almost $20!

[@lleo9703]

Hey, sleepy, I had trouble with Rex begonias in my dry (northern Nevada, USA) climate. I don’t use a humidifier in my home. Try cane begonias! Try a “lucerna”. If in USA you can order it from Steve’s Leaves, they have lots of cane begonias to choose from once you find cane type work for you. Also, use reverse osmosis water or distilled water. I have luck with hoyas here, but only water when dry. Good luck with your plants!

[@necromancer-x]

@@lleo9703 Hi, Leo! I appreciate you commenting! :) I will definitely look into your tips and check out the cane begonias. At least now I'm developing a better intuition and understanding of how plants work 😅

[@Learehart]

Thank you for showing how to do this. And I swear my dog farted at the same time your cat did! 🐕 🐈 💨
