DIY PLANT MOUNTS | How To Mount Ferns, Hoyas, Etc.

[@ShyDog827]

I really liked your demonstration . It looks pretty simple to do and I like the use of sheet moss to finish it off. I think that will also help hold in moisture as well. I want to mount some bromeliads and ferns on my patio wall to save space and add interest , and this technique will give me some versatility .

[@djfranny6899]

You are the absolute cutest.

[@dennischoe8164]

Good & clear demonstration of securing the plant 👍

[@PlantPerson58]

Very interesting demo. Thanks. Definitely food for thought.

[@sunnstone]

Simple to understand. I'm looking forward to my first mount. I think I'm going to go with something small the first time. Much appreciated. Thank you.

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

I have staghorns busting out of pots I really need to do this with! Thanks Nick!

[@ashhanderson]

Awwwww so cool! Now I must run out to get supplies lol thanks for sharing!!

Such a great video! An oldie but a goodie.

[@reetapeiris5454]

Very nice 👍 ❤

[@sharpestdart]

Looks great! I can almost hear those poor scissors crying 😄

[@anndriggers6660]

You could also use some burlap for the roots if you have some loose soil you want to keep.

[@CocoNuggs80]

You have gotten so good at making videos!

[@hollyhasegawa6095]

Love it Nick, I think it has a really cool look about it, now I think I am going to have to find a fern to do this. Thanks Nick for sharing this video it really was helpful and fun to watch.

[@annam2736]

I was just wondering how I could mount my hoya, and then you posted this video! 😁

[@shavonfoster9148]

Thank you so much for this video! I wasn't sure about mounted plants until now! Can't wait to mount my Japanese Fern!!

[@lawrencegiam6801]

Oooh I never thought of this! Intriguing! And I learned 😁

[@annielitton4622]

I love it. Super Cute.

[@deaconsmom2000]

You are living the dream, Nick. You really should come slumming up to the Skook to hang out with me, though. I have plenty of wire cutters.

[@rnk957n8]

Wow nice you make it look easy to do! Great job👍💚

[@heleneckard4119]

Excellent tutorial! Thanks Nick.

[@lotsakirst]

Thank you so much. I love this😍🌿🇦🇺

[@lerajuno]

I was wondering if you had mounted the Hoya that I saw in Urban Jungle when I was there around thanksgiving. So great to see a video. Thanks Nick!

[@carolinagamboarobles4472]

wow great idea you could also grow pothos with this method

[@janetshepherd9062]

So beautiful!!

[@claire2470]

...THANKS NICK! I will be mounting my birds nest fernsssssss today...

[@noahlovejoy2656]

Can you do a video about soaking the mounting plant Nick? :)

[@karlmartin9525]

Just soak in a bucket of water 🤷‍♂️😂

[@lunte97]

Very interesting video! Love diy projects with plants like this or other living walls😍

[@adamidris958]

[@Joey-vw1id]

Great channel and I just watched the best informative video on KZbin! By the way I'm from Philadelphia too I'm right on Christian behind Rittenhouse. I really appreciate the time you give to teach people the art of gardening and decorations. Thanks man 👍 My name is joe.

[@adamjohnzon]

Awesome

[@maricarzaldarriaga8435]

awesome!

[@petergilfillan8340]

Brilliant. i am so trying this & I had no idea about Hoyas. can you show us a Hoya plant demo next time.

[@scarydebbie]

Great video! Do you put anything behind it to protect the wall from moisture from the plant? I know when you take it down to water it well and let it dry before putting it back up, but I’m concerned there will still be moisture in the wood…any tips about protecting the wall? Thanks!

[@verndelgado]

Gorgeous! Nick, I purchased a small Japanese birds nest fern that was mounted on a board and I think I didn’t water it enough. If the leaves are still green but feel dry and, sadly, bordering on crunchy, is my plant dead or can I revive it? It’s in a hallway with far indirect light in NYC. Thanks for any info (if not you, any other gardeners reading this).

[@gina7925]

They need a decent amount of humidity. Consider placing in a bathroom near a window

[@jdonwells]

Trying this right now.

[@diannalvey7183]

Thank you I've been wanting to try this was not how to go about it. Again thanks

[@danthomas6587]

Delicious. thank you

[@ceramicfrog1]

Lmao, ypu should eat Birds Nests fers

[@its_just_seb]

seeing you cut that wire with regular scissors caused me physical pain

[@halexiszhr6905]

Im sorry for say this because I really love plants.................but you are so handsome and cute!!! so I subscribed because of you...

[@bobbiechinn9578]

Perf ❤

[@bapakpembangunan3357]

I usually use a hair net to tie the moss, LOL

[@IsabellaMuscat-l4z]

Thank you so much for your demonstration. I got myself some cork bark and sphagnum moss as I have a Dischidia Platyphylla to mount. However, I'm not sure what size of fishing line I need. Can you kindly advise. Thanks

[@boy-uk5ve]

Thank u bro

[@youngfarmersvlog1354]

Thank u brother

[@summermucha5207]

Hi Nick, I have never heard of this technique before- and I LOVE IT! ❤️ I’m a total outdoor food grower (veggies, berries, grafting fruit trees). Houseplants have never been a favorite of mine, having only a few. THIS looks amazing to me- with all the outdoor elements look to it- I totally want to go for it and cover my walls! I just love these mounting videos you make! Thank you for sharing your ideas and talents with us! 🌱🌟

[@jessicaherkert9891]

What type of sheet moss do you use?

[@moniquecatalina1322]

Ty so much

[@chrystalsabin4091]

Cool

[@debcobern312]

Next time put the fishing line in a heavy bowl and it can just flip flop around as you wind it. Its a trick from sewers.

[@FuchiBooBoo]

That's great to know about, thanks!

[@MrRaphisan]

Nice Video! How do you water them? Do you take them of...

[@brixandblooms]

I would love to purchase a few. I'm in Philly suburbs.

[@471444a]

😍😍

[@vancityplantie5752]

Great video. @nick pileggi Which rhipsalis do you have mounted?

[@elymartin8773]

How do you water the fern if its walready mounted on the wall? Can i use spray bottle to concentrate on the moss? Can you recommend any easy organic fertilizer thay can help better healthier? Thank you

[@rhondacerecedes5008]

What do you use for mounting wood for orchids, ferns, etc..

[@BudgetFriendly215]

I’m from Philly as well where is this store located?

[@chansoukphon6748]

we can apply this to other kinds of ferns too right?

[@plantsinner5072]

So your boss doesn't watch any of your videos? haha! i was so scared you were going to cut your finger off. whew! Thanks for sharing!

[@TheWhyekeat]

Can I do this with anthuriums?

[@fabiocarvalho2105]

Great and really helpful video! Just a tip! The "ph" on sphagnum sounds like a "F", instead of a "P". Latin, I know... 😅

[@cleliac.2470]

Perhaps it's "Latin à l'anglaise" 😉😄. But, fortunately, Nick Pileggi is one of those nice and thoughtful American and British KZbinrs who kindly put the botanical names of the plants on the screen or in the description box, so that a poor foreigner like myself can identify them 😊.

[@fabiocarvalho2105]

@@cleliac.2470 oh yeah, probably is, and agreed! Nick is such a dear, I do love his videos 💖. Funny fact, Anglo speakers don't say "epiPytic plants", but "epiFytic" for epiPHytic 😅

[@cleliac.2470]

@@fabiocarvalho2105​ Of course they do 😄. I know that your "tip" was meant in a kind way and that there was absolutely no arrogance to it. But I really find it fascinating how the botanical Latin used by, let us say, Russian, German and even French florists and plant lovers is mutually intelligible, whereas the English version is something very… special 😁.

[@fabiocarvalho2105]

@@cleliac.2470 😅😅😅

[@fabiocarvalho2105]

@@cleliac.2470 what happens to me is, since I speak a Latin language (Brazilian Portuguese), the way Anglo speakers say stuff in ancient Latin kinda screams in my ears 😅😅😅, for example, adansoni-AI

Where can I get this cork online

[@sthomas757]

Thank you for this video! Is that New Zealand sphag moss? Is there a difference? Also, how do I buy one of those tetraserma plants behind you?

[@ernestinacostin6859]

Hye, what compost should be used for replant the Bird s nest in a pot?

[@mehwishfarooq3714]

Hi I couldn't find out sphagnum moss can u plz tell me how to grow moss by myself...

[@natchezglenhouse5138]

I maybe attempting mount a huge (3’) Platycerium, any tips ?

[@marymoore4609]

My hoya mauna loya is broken (not quite severed) at the bottom near the soil. It is wilted. Since I discovered it, it seems to be absorbing some water, so it appears to have a connection to the root. How do I save it. I need a link to propagating these plants. PLEASE help.

[@juanitagordon5064]

Please help my bird nest fern is browning and turning yellow as well. Water only when dry. Plant had no care instructions when I purchased it.

[@mariocean808]

What do you do to the wood so it won't rot with all the watering?

[@xxpowwowbluexx]

He said the cork bark won’t rot.

[@mariabuonamici]

instead of hanging it, can i put it on a flat surface after i mount it thank you

[@Jennifer-bz8ki]

I was thinking the same! I'm sure its just as well 😊

[@alinel5617]

Is this what you did to your orchid? If so, how do you water it? I'd love to make a mount for my orchid too :)

[@ceramicfrog1]

Soak it, in a bucket or in the shower, and mist it every day.

[@boy-uk5ve]

Nope

I enjoyed your video but I would like to give you a good special tip on a couple things if you wanted to text me you can't you will enjoy the information I give you

[@lilliwhite4404]

After it's mounted, how much is it worth now?

[@ceramicfrog1]

It depends on the fern

[@TheeChocolateGoddess]

HOW LONG COULD THIS PLANT LIVE ON THE PIECE OF WOOD?

forever
