HOW TO GET LARGE LEAVES ON POTHOS | DIY Moss (Burlap) Pole

[@ttidwell4412]

I appreciate your straightforward style, that you cut out the unnecessary, boring parts, and your adorable Canadian accent. 😜

[@EverythingPlants]

Haha. Thanks so much for watching my video!

[@MissyR2538]

Thanks for the video, Jeff. That's going to be one beautiful plant once it grows bigger and spends more time in a high light area and gets more varigation like the last two leaves have as you mentioned. Good night!

[@EverythingPlants]

Thanks Melissa. I absolutely love the higher variegation on those leaves as well.

Your Pothos is a Hawaiin Pothos. I have one myself. Last Winter it had a little yellow on it. This Spring, I put it out in a bright/shade area. The new growth came out with a bunch of golden leaves. It loves to be in the Sun for a little while. Thanks for sharing.

What is the best burlap to buy for this project? There are so many different ones…….”tight” weave, “open” weave, “poly” burlap. Can you please tell me which one you used? Did you get it at Michael’s?

[@EverythingPlants]

I got mine a Canadian Tire, but I no longer use burlap

[@efernette]

I have a Hawaiian, it’s leaves are as big or bigger than my hand. I will definitely be using your suggestion for using burlap instead of Moss on a pole. Moss can be pretty messy and I don’t like the way it looks. Thank you.

[@EverythingPlants]

Sounds great! So far the burlap has been working out well.

[@danettegaines7646]

Will you continue to keep the burlap moist? Or just until the plant is established?

[@EverythingPlants]

It has been more dry then wet, but I have been trying to remember to lightly mist it.

[@suedahlkamp8104]

Hi Jeff, another great video. A friend gave me some pothos cuttings with established roots that I hope to do this with. After watching a checked the roots and a fair number are dark, not white. They seem firm, but since I’ve never done this before I’m not really sure. Should I remove them and if the remaining roots are puny wait until more grow?

[@EverythingPlants]

Hey Sue.....let those roots grow as long as they aren't rotting.

[@suedahlkamp8104]

@@EverythingPlants Thanks, they aren’t mushy so I will let them grow. Yours always looks so thick and white.

[@gaileling1999]

Great idea!!Does the wood rot eventually?

[@EverythingPlants]

Eventually, but I'll probably have to repot before that happens anyways. You can always place it outside of the pot as well.

[@tannaauger1]

Another great video! Thanks.

[@EverythingPlants]

Thanks Tanya!

[@LuzReed]

Great video thank you! I’ve been looking for plastic/pvc free alternatives to moss poles and this is my favourite one. How did it fair over the year? Did the roots grow into the burlap? Could you still cut the plant to propagate relying on the roots growing in the pole? I’d love to know. Thank you 😊

[@EverythingPlants]

Thanks for watching my video... This is actually a fairly old video now. I do have a number of plants on wood planks. Unfortunately the roots only anchor on the wood whereas if you use moss then the plant can obtain moisture and nutrients from there as well. The burlap does not act like the moss pool wood for aerial root growth. It mainly acts as a support stake for the plant growing upright.

[@suedub5156]

Beautiful! Can’t wait to see its progress!

[@EverythingPlants]

Thanks Sue!

[@shilpakadam3584]

How to keep the pole from falling down or tilting down. Because is Indoor plant we don't water it often. The pole holds on to if the soil is quiet wet

[@EverythingPlants]

I just place it all the way to the bottom of the pot. It's a bit wobbly but holds up okay

[@locumdo]

Using the car to hold up the pole! 😂 Necessity is the mother of invention.

[@EverythingPlants]

👍yup....gotta find a way!

[@funnylittlecactus4672]

My mom has a golden pothos that already had the moss pole in it when she bought it and it has huge leaves. She's notorious for killing every plant she gets lol so I've been making sure this one stays alive. Mine don't have those Big leaves because all mine are vining, but I think they're so pretty like that. Like a waterfall of leaves.

I really like the vining ones as well (as all of mine are lol) but I want the large leaves now.

Don't use a wooden stick for the moss pole. It will rot and break in the wet soil after awhile. Use pvc for the moss pole.

I used materials that I currently had on hand. Thanks for the suggestion and will definitely get PVC for future projects.

I enjoy your videos but please reconsider the background music. Repetitive, distracting, annoying every time I watch so thought I would mention it. Just my opinion. Maybe others love it. :)

[@EverythingPlants]

I have actually had quite a bit of positive feedback regarding the quiet background music....I lower the volume in editing so it is not over powering. I find it adds a nice bridge during the no talking parts etc. As for the repetitive...I get all my music from youtube as I can place them in my videos and still make money on them. Sometimes they don't always have the greatest selection, but I do try and switch up between a few more ambient songs. Thanks for your feedback. I music isn't meant to be the main focus of the video, so maybe I'll lower the volume a bit more and see how that sounds.
