How to make an easy bromeliad cork mount to put anywhere in your home!

[@waluigihentailover6926]

Man it’s been a while since I watched this video or needed to watch it. Again, thank you! The voice is gentle too.

[@maryhandlename]

This is awesome! I am upgrading a hermit crab tank, making it bioactive with plants. This seems like a great way to help these plants escape destruction. I will definitely be contacting Josh's soon to get my plants ordered!

[@xapriliztheshizzlex]

Lovely and hassle free, thank you!

[@LeightonTS]

Very good video👍🏿

[@cmaharaj123]

How would you water it? Mist it?

[@terry5092]

I love it but aren't you worried about the fishing line cutting through any of the roots or the plant at all?

[@lilsugarsreborns2895]

Can I add this to a Crested Gecko set up or would they tangled in the fishing line?

[@gerardshorticultureculture7579]

Very cool stuff

[@1robzy]

Hi I’m in Australia just wondering if that’s called cork bark and where I can get it from

[@joshsfrogsvideos5594]

Yes, it's cork bark. You can order some from our website, or any number of other places.

[@mrsshah7762]

It would be difficult & expensive to import wood products to Australia from other countries. Our customs department would expect a fumigation certificate to be included to ensure there are no bugs living in the wood

[@Nelly54ify]

Great idea! Where can I get the cork from?

[@joshsfrogsvideos5594]

Soon, you can get it from us! We're expecting a big shipment any day now :) www.joshsfrogs.com/accents-decor/driftwood-bamboo.html

[@shardhas.p3917]

can the side pups grow if you divide them?

[@JoshsFrogs]

They sure can! Wait until the pups are about 1/3 to 1/2 the size of the mother plant before dividing them.

[@dianaromero7611]

Where did you get the cork ?

[@ShadowNight-kt3dz]

William Doubleu why not? I’ve used it for years

[@sdqsdq6274]

damn puzzled , some say dont cover the nodes ,video need to be more specific what bromeliad species is it

[@iknownothing-49]

Can I use a piece of craft cork?

[@joshsfrogsvideos5594]

Hey Imelda, I would not suggest doing that. Craft cork has a high potential of being contaminated with chemicals during it's time in the craft stores and traveling with craft supplies. I would suggest only using items that are meant to be used with animals. Thank you Thomas Curator of Dart frogs

[@iknownothing-49]

Thanks

[@dianaromero7611]

Would this cork bark work for stag horns?

[@nanetteorchid6680]

yes

[@liamwilson8838]

that is so cool!!!!!!!!

[@JunFeril]

instead of fishing line would natural twine be enough to mount a bromeliad?

[@nanetteorchid6680]

natural twine has a short life span when repeatedly getting wet. It tends to rot after a while.

[@matthewmak7644]

does the plant require fertilizing? where is it getting its nutrients from? Thank you for the video.

[@JoshsFrogs]

Over time, some plants may require fertilizing.

[@luciacee5151]

how?

[@Ali-mj2gm]

Lucia Cee late reply but if you’re not growing it in a frog/reptile vivarium then a diluted orchid fertilizer should do it once a month in spring and summer (less in fall and winter with less light). If you’re growing it in a frog or reptile vivarium then their poop or any dead insects will collect in the cups and fertilize the plant. Constant lighting and humidity and temperature conditions in a tank will ensure nice year round growth.

[@fernandawhite1803]

What can I do to prepare bark I find in the outdoors to make sure I don't introduce pests into my home? Thanks!

[@joshsfrogsvideos5594]

Soooo, first organic matter can almost never be 100% free of parasites, bacteria, viruses, fungus and other such things. You can bake it, you can dry it, you can wash it... but there is always a potential for harmful chemicals or organisms to continue to reside in the piece you are looking to use. We do not recommend using items from outside. But if you do decide to do so, i would first clean it with repti-san and a long bristle brush, then let it dry out for a week or more, then bake it at a low temperature such as 185, for 3-4 hours. Keep in mind, baking materials like these can be very smelly and dangerous if the material touches the heating elements. This process can also degrade materials making them weaker.

[@bebebutterfield1]

Gasp! I love it!

[@coldpizza5271]

how do you water it once mounted?? :/

[@JoshsFrogs]

You can flush it's cup weekly, and moisten the sphagnum moss occasionally. Some people even prefer to soak the entire mount in water once a week for 5 minutes.

[@MrFishzilla]

I would be very afraid to put that into my frog's tank. It seems the frogs legs, arms or toes could easily get snared in all that fishing line.

[@laggot]

i feel like they'd just climb on it idk hahaha

[@Dairko]

If its tight it shouldn't be much of a problem, they'd most likely climb over it. If it were loose, then yea, easy snags.

[@MrFishzilla]

Fishing line will stretch some as any fisherman knows. I think I will stick to the U shaped covered floral wire on cork bark. Maybe I am paranoid but better safe than sorry. Love your vids though.

[@jacks559]

@@MrFishzilla this method wasn't really intended for frogs, more just house display

[@creektilghman9187]

Woodprix has a lot of plans to choose from.

[@christjulipds13]

I heard very good opinions about the Woodprix plans.

[@carmelinarosinski8953]

I am sure that you will find good way to make it on woodprix Webpage.
