Keeping moss poles moist without ‘overwatering’ the pot - water more frequently, but use less water

[@DimaculanganPunch]

Ceiling is always in the way.

[@wendyswift706]

Consider using a squeeze succulent water bottle with a nozzle that you poke into the moss just above the plant You can monitor water squeezed into the moss and you don't need to wet the upper moss that isn't benefiting the plant anyway. Beak dropper for example

[@sydneyplantguy]

Wetting the whole pole will boost the humidity though which then ultimately benefits the plant, but great idea regardless :)

[@bdaly03]

Nice tip, I’ll give it a try!

[@IMNENIGMA1]

Great idea!

[@wendyswift706]

@@IMNENIGMA1 thank you. I do have to agree with Jan though. Wetting the whole moss pole does help significantly with humidity. Most of us seem to struggle with keeping moisture levels higher during the winter.

[@krazykitty5750]

Even a plastic squeeze ketchup or mustard bottle with a cap on it would work. I'm using coco coir liner on a mesh pole. Wrap with twine, wet down, bendable. 😊❤

Ceiling needs a moss pole to make it grow

[@lawfullucyless6715]

What a healthy happy looking couple

[@whiskybrush3219]

Its seems to be near impossible to keep a moss pole moist while not drowning the plant in my house. So I decided to experiment and filled a wire pole with bark chips. I will find out if i can get similar results by allowing the plant to get its nutrients from its terestrial roots and let the aerial roots cling to the bark as it naturally would.

[@sydneyplantguy]

Definitely not impossible, i do it every week :P consider less volume, higher frequency, irrespective of it being bark or moss :)

[@whiskybrush3219]

@@sydneyplantguy perhaps but, my poles are bone dry and uber crunchy after less than 48 hours and that's with my spraying the areas with noticeable root formation once a day on top of the every 48 to 72 hr water bottle, and of course my medium never has a chance of getting any drier than damp with this frequency, so i constantly worry about root rot. The bark pole on the other hand is looking really good after only a week. Might be a good alternative to moss for dryer northern climates like mine. I dunno. It is really fun to experiment with though! 👍

[@MsNocell]

That should work. 9 months later.. do you have an update?

[@avonzo]

You can consider a drip line (cloth) irrigation and leave the water container inside the pot and just refill it. Cloth line can run inside the holder pole there and plant roots will grow into inside and get water that way.

Ça doit êtres magnifique chez vous avec toute c'est plantes, un vrais jardin botanique...🙏😮🤗👍👌🍀🕊🌈🌏💝💖💝

[@Gulchih]

You can put a huge funnel up there. Fill it up with water and let it drip. Decorate the outside of funnel to disguise it

[@surgeinc1]

A 1” PVC pipe mounted in the moss pole with small holes drilled in the pipe to the substrate level. Cap the pipe at the bottom. A funnel to fill up, no mess, easy and moss stays hydrated longer.

[@leathjurca]

he and his plants are very handsome

[@Bill.L.Carroll]

2 options, 1: shorten the pole 2: use a smaller bottle

[@bibianaohio5399]

What i would like to know is, what’s that other weird plant hanging up on the wall??? ❤

[@khdn1944]

Gorgeous plants 😊

[@atherisGAY]

Hey your plants are gorgeous! What is that seaweed looking plant in the background? And what is your accent... is it German? 😄♥️

[@X3r0.]

I’m hearing German & Australian at the same time 😅

[@mansoor9319]

Maybe try a pressure water bottle to moisten the moss?

[@sydneyplantguy]

I do, but it’s much messier and really just waters the surface

[@YmtunkuChestiaishah]

Try to using mouth lid to cover the water from any worries using the transparent / plastic cup container rounded up to the top and easy to refiling them.

[@karinesavard2016]

I said "what about a spray bottle?" and then you actually said it 🤭😂🤣😂

[@lush88]

😍 the plant on the wall.... Is to die for. What is it?

[@sydneyplantguy]

Anthurium vittarifolium

[@maridelarchibald8698]

Ohhhh your so...... amazing!!!!

[@CowboyHatsAndKuchen]

I took a little moss out of the top of my pole, took an old water bottle, poked a very tiny hole in the top and in the bottom and filled it up with water, and stuck it in the pole and it just slowly drips...I barely have to pay attention to it. My mini monstera is so happy, maybe too happy 😅

[@agriculturists7574]

Use funnel to accessible height and insert funnel in moss for watering

[@IMNENIGMA1]

How do you keep the poles from flopping over? Mine is collapsing on itself, even after adding a wooden stake

[@tristinalbright8370]

What type of wire are you using? I tried looking for one like that but I’m seeing metal ones idk if that’s safe

[@AtlCinderella80]

Add a mixture of sand and potting soil in the middle 9f moss before you wrap it, keeps the moisture in longer, also you can drill holes in pbc pipe add potting soil, ten cover in moss, the roots will find the soil, make sure to cap pvc pipe at bottom

[@xailywarmslush2319]

Perhaps a Mini spray bottle without the spray nozzle may fit your space needs may have to do more then once however but seems like you make it work pretty well 🤷‍♀️👌😅

[@matthewglasgow4085]

They make sprayer tanks with bendable poles

[@MsNocell]

Try the little mini kid size water bottles. And change it more often.

[@bluesky4421]

How do I stop my moss pole from drying often?

[@Dessthemess]

What kind of water do you use on your plants? Filtered water, distilled, tap?

[@ehmo8706]

“You can’t actually see” 😂

[@southofthesticks]

Try a smaller bottle, more often. Or cut a couple of inches off the top of the poll.

[@kimbaban]

You could use a small bottle and water it couple times. That would be easier.

[@angelflowerspetanibule2757]

I'm wondering they grow as well even when not enough gets sun . Btw all your plant is amazing

[@sydneyplantguy]

No light is non-negotiable when growing plants. No light - no growth

[@TakiariMeyrimoxXXx]

The weird apple crunch bottle came to mind because it's round and small

[@chereneclarkson6955]

Maybe use a lil pop top bottle?

[@C0C0PR]

Stick a funnel at the top

[@heyimjake32]

What do you do to water if you have a plastic tube in the middle of the pole? I bought mine off of amazon and the moss is basically surrounding the tube with the netting. The tube is also used to connect multiple poles. So what do I do? I’ve been misting mine but I don’t think that’s working very well.

[@NavdeepSingh-ek8vi]

👋 hi I saw a moss pole placed infront of you(in the video) was looking greenish in color may be due to excessive watering the moss. How you deal with it ? Does it harm our climbers?

[@irisortiz4864]

Do you use regular water?

[@riddlebox]

Dont haven the moss poss mean u have mold in the pole? With it being damp all the time

[@Black_Jack_AOS]

I just fill half bottles.

[@michellemurray6009]

❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Wow great job

[@wanderotter4667]

Mine dries out within an hour, can't possibly keep it moist! even when i put a whole bottle of water in, it will be dry the same day.

[@jamessharp9685]

How often should you water them? Mine seem to dry out so quickly.

[@sydneyplantguy]

How often really depends on the conditions you keep the pole in. I aim to keep them consistently moist.

[@shanieteddy]

Why not cut the pole down and add the height back as the plant grows

[@sydneyplantguy]

I just extended it recently, i don’t like to make many small extensions because it makes the pole unstable :) but you could technically do that:)
