using wire mesh to support my giant begonia (will this work? 👀)

Fern, I just joined a few weeks ago and you’re so comfortable. I struggle to watch youtube of people because I’m autistic and you are always so chill and comfy. Dying my hair rn and looking for something to listen to and I’m so happy you posted!

[@jpgypsyxo]

10:38 Omggg olive!!! She does not like what’s going on here. 😂😂😂 I caught her before you started to zoom in! I also think that as the begonia grows and faces the light, you can slowly clip the vines to the mesh and remove the twine! ❤❤ great idea! I’ve been toying with the thought of poles without moss. I noticed Melissa doing that with bigger plants like monstera, using the clear poles and strapping the vines inside the it out moss.

[@BoojiePanda]

Oooo Fern, I bet you could set her on one of the Rousseau wooden pole stands, and secure the mesh to the pole. That may add even more sturdiness, and also make it easier to move her around.

[@hanstera_deliciosa]

Gosh golly gee willickers! I’m SUPER THANKFUL for you 😚

LPT Get a set of tin snips if you find yourself cutting hardware cloth on a regular basis. They cut through it like scissors through paper and save you lots of time, pain, and frustration.

[@BLANKU2]

Whoa this plant is like a beast. If it ever needs a bigger pot it might be cool to get it one of those metal obelisk trellis where she could be in the center and get supported on all sides. With all her arms it could be a cool look that might be a investment though in supplies. I love the couch pooch overlooking you guys progress lol. 🪴🐕100% a new look for her.

[@valerieclark5695]

Thank you so much! Sometimes trellises can only go so tall unless you attach them to a wall and I'm a renter.This would take care of the width and not be so top heavy. I suspect I will be trying this in the next year or so.

[@ilikeframboise]

Absolutely yes. Looking forward to the update video when the leaves adjust themselves. 🎉 Also, do you have a video on what looks like a veggie light tower in the beginning of your video?

[@amandamack9258]

Brilliant idea! It looks great

[@Bat_Fiend.]

A good idea! but I'm thinking it's might've been easier to bend the mesh a little bit before putting it in the pot. Maybe that's why it cracked from the tension 🤷‍♀️. Hopefully it works out though! Cutie Olive wondering what's going on lol😄❤️

[@sparklysea24]

Your bf seems very sweet. I liked this video because plants get hard to handle when they are all spread out like that and it fits so much better in the home when you can use a trellis or support to use more vertical space.

Holy Moly Fern that is one huge Begonia! Mine is not quite that big yet, but it’s on its way. I used two 18 inch trellises currently and it looks cool; however, they’re going to need to be removed and changed in the next 6 months most likely. Thanks for the idea! Your the bomb digity girlfriend ❤

I’m so glad it worked well! Experimenting is one of my favorite things, its so interesting how everyone comes up with new ideas.

[@kathleenhall3868]

Your MM is a beast. Could you use bamboo skewers threaded through the wire mesh, maybe 4" apart, to create a horizontal grid to hold her in? I love that you wore a b.listada Tee, Fern!

No it looks amazing! You did a great job 👏🏽

[@agneslazarenko2653]

For wooden stakes in semihydro, I saw somebody usong some kind of plastic sleeves that you put on the stakes like socks and heat-treat them to shrink. He got the sleeves in a hardware store but I don't remember what they are normally used for

[@debracancelliere4081]

I’m amazed by these difficult humidity loving begonias you are growing in your northwest west coast home! How are you doing it? Are all of them in self watering like the listada? (I’m thinking now of the Paulensis) What are your temps and humidity? Do you have humidifiers everywhere? I’m in the northeast US and it’s getting dry and what few non thriving begonias I have are just existing…barely. And they’re not ones that needs tons of humidity. Please, please, share your secrets!!

Hi Fern, great idea! Just wondering why you don’t cut the mesh straight after a square? Then you’ll only have one side of the mesh to bend over or cut for each piece. If you get it close enough it shouldn’t be too sharp.
