Sharing all my Secrets! Golden Pothos Moss Pole Tutorial Start to Finish!

[@ThatGirlShelbyy]

Thanks to you, I added my marble queen to a moss pole a few weeks ago and she’s thrivinggggggg now ❤❤❤ I’m so happy

[@plantsbymelissa]

Yay!! I'm glad it's doing well! Keep it up 🫶

[@coconutgirl816]

@plantsbymelissa You got me started on my moss pole journey. I'm currently propping some marble cuttings to put on a pole after seeing how lovely yours is, and I have a "Hawaiian" pothos on a pole already and she's sizing up nicely, and I'm thinking about putting a "regular " golden pothos on a pole just to see if it is any different from a Hawaiian. My cebu isn't sizing up though. In your experience does a cebu take longer to start sizing up?

[@Dori89]

How tall is your marble now?🥹

[@mightkmsidk7]

If you have an update, I’D LOVE TO SEE IT 😍😍

[@resarm5007]

THIS is the video I've been looking for... I've been growing hanging plants and sitting plants and creeping plants long enough. It is time...I need to give my ladies some poles to climb!

[@nancylee1883]

Honestly, the best process explanation I have seen in any video I have watched. Thank you for your attention to details.

[@plantsbymelissa]

yay! Thank you so much! That's the best compliment 🥹🫶

[@TwilightVaramek]

a little expernace with moss poles i hear in the first 20 seconds I look in the background every single plant is a moss pole.. I'm pretty sure that's more then a little experience there haha

[@plantytotalkabout]

I just put my Memaw’s 50yr old golden pothos on a pole also! It looks like we’re going to start our upsizing journey together! That’s pretty awesome!!!! I just love your videos girl! 🫶🏼☺️🪴Literally perfect timing!

[@plantsbymelissa]

That is awesome! 50 years is incredible!! It will be such a special plant too! I'm so excited for you!! You'll have to keep me updated on it! 🥰

[@sptheartist1803]

THIS!! is the video explanation I’ve been wishing for on YT. You really took your time and gave a thorough explanation. Much appreciated

[@plantsbymelissa]

You're very welcome! I'm so glad it was helpful!!

[@sherisullivan8812]

I put three golden pothos on a moss pole about a year ago. It is doing well: climbing and sizing up well. Can’t wait to watch yours grow.

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you so much! I'm so happy your golden is doing well! 🥰

[@Naniso]

I have enough plants, this is where I’m trying to go- big leaves only!😁

[@plantsbymelissa]

Yes! Just multiple your collection you have already :) They're so fun too and makes for a completely different plant once they get bigger!

[@Naniso]

@@plantsbymelissa right! I can’t wait to buy everything and begin the journey of growing big leaves! On your Amazon shop there is no moss to add to the moss pole. Can you please add that for me😁 everything else is in my cart😁

[@suntoshineastrologyandtaro1144]

Because of you I created a marble pothos pole. You inspired me to do a golden pothos. I have been thinking of doing one!

[@plantsbymelissa]

Yay!! We can grow one together! I kept thinking I didn't one because of the marble queen but I definitely do 😂🫶

[@Anil18834]

OK, so Jan is the king of moss poles. But, your tutorial is by far the most detailed I've seen on how to do this ❤ Thanks

[@plantsbymelissa]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you! 🙏

[@alinasmit767]

Just got all the supplies and put some vines of my golden pothos in water. Now its waiting times till there are water roots and then I will set up my first moss pole! So exciting

[@plantsbymelissa]

Good luck!! 🫶

[@videosrfunfunfun]

Thank You. Great Video! I have studied Moss Poles for the past couple of months. I'm not ready for one just yet, but I may try it in the future. A lot of people are going to the plastic poles like you showed in the video, but others need the sturdiness of the wire poles for tall poles and heavy plants. The Leca Queen adds a metal rod to her poles for support. I do want to find a way to securely anchor the pole and pot so that they do not tip over and so that the pole is straight. It will drive me crazy if it leans. LOL I have some ideas on that and watering them. I always seem to be creating and trying out ideas to solve problems. I appreciate all your comments. Right now, I am finding that some of the soil that I have, when thoroughly watered on plants that need to dry out and then be given a good soak and drained are holding too much water causing overwatering problems. Despite using a potting mix, cactus mix and lots of perilite -50% or more. So, I need to rethink things a bit and change my soil to more of an aeroid mix with the bark, etc. I find that most everyone I watch on you tube is using an aeroid mix. I am retired and the past few months I have been getting back into my plants, expanding, learning, and studying lots of videos. Your videos are in my top list. I have some Golden Pothos that a friend gave me-had some leaves 3-4" or more. I did single leaf cuttings and propagated them in water. The 1st 6 I did have been in a pot for a few weeks and I am finally having some new leaves pop up!!! I have 2 jars full of cuttings that I am ready to pot t very soon-again single leaf cuttings. I am going to try more of an aeroid mix to put them in. I also have some little leaves in water for some kind of Monstera, I have to ask my friend again, what kind it is. Small leaves 2 and 3", so I have a lot of TLC to give this one. Best of all I am having a great time with my plants!!!! 🙂

[@plantsbymelissa]

I'm so happy you are getting back into plants again! That is the most important thing is that you are just having fun with the hobby! Definitely give a aroid mix a go :) You have to get used to watering it differently and that all depends on your specific environment but the plants love the aeration! As far as moss poles go - you just have to do one. It won't be perfect but you'll learn so much in the process of what to do and what not to do and what you like, etc. I thought I knew what I was doing back in the day but I really had no clue lol. You'll be so happy once it starts growing and it's a great feeling of accomplishment too! I can't describe it but it's just incredible to watch them grow like this 🥰

[@videosrfunfunfun]

Thank You! @@plantsbymelissa Yes, I am having fun and learning by doing is a great way to try out things. It really helps to have some knowledge from videos like yours as I go about this. 🥰

Funny you chose the golden pothos for this video today .. earlier i gifted my best friend a golden pothos cutting that looked identical to the cuttings in this video 😅 i didn't get them on any poles though .. but now I'm extremely tempted to start that journey ! LoL love your content dear ! Your plants are so beautiful and so are you !!!! Inside and out ! Happy propagating !! 😊

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you so much! You're so sweet 🥹 Golden pothos are amazing plants! Give it a go! You might end up really liking climbing plants :) They're the perfect plant to start with because they're so forgiving and love to climb so it makes it rewarding once you start seeing that growth happen 🥰

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you!! You can do it!

[@thelioness3305]

OMG Melissa I messed up! I did a moss pole like you not long ago from one of your old video and I used potting soil. I did add lots of perlite but I used Frog sotting soil. The blue bag one. Bat Gamo in it etc. Then put my moss pole in it. Yikes. I do need to do another one so this time I using a very airy mix like you. I want big leaves on my Pothos. It is beautiful that I took cuttings from. They are rooted and ready. So VERY GLAD YOU DID THIS!!! Thank you! Learning.....

[@plantsbymelissa]

That is so okay! I used to do that too :) When I first made poles I had SO much potting soil in my mix. I have definitely learned a lot along the way and having a chunky mix helps so much with being able to water the pole more often!

[@plantsbymelissa]

definitely requires lots of patience! If you can get past the first few months of them not growing much then you can do it! Once they start climbing and attaching they'll grow better but takes them a little while to get started 🫶

[@nicciohagan9590]

Great informative video!! I started three golden vines (about the same lengh as yous) on a pole mid June. The leaves were tiny! I am shocked at how fast it has grown and sized up!! I have it on my porch, morning south/east facing sun. Our high heat in Northern California, with daily pole watering, didn't faze it. It's almost to the top of it's 4 foot pole. The leaves have tripled in size!!

[@plantsbymelissa]

[@zuriatiwenger6480]

Hi Melissa! Thank you so much for this detailed tutorial. I love your videos and all the valuable insights you share with us freely. I do have a question thou. I have am existing golden pothos that growing well and I attach it around a coconut husk pole (this is before I discovered moss pole). So the leaves are not growing any bigger and I think the pole is too hard for the arial roots to anchor into it. My question is can I simply transfer my plant and replace the coconut husk pole with moss pole? Will it work or I need to start fresh with cuttings? Thanks for your inputs and advise!!! ❤

[@maryperry5910]

I did the same thing. Just gently pull the roots off the coir pole then feed them through the moss pole. They will attach easily if you use velcro or grafting tape to secure the plant to the pole. Now I have leaves bigger than my head! And already extended it! I did this the end of May. I hope you have good luck!

[@zuriatiwenger6480]

@@maryperry5910 thanks for your advise. I think I realised what I did wrong. I am twirling my pothos around the pile instead of attaching them in a straight line. 😉 I will do as you suggest, but will have to trim them coz they are too long. Do you think the existing leaves will grow larger if the arial roots grow and anchor themselves into the moss??

[@plantsbymelissa]

Hi! Thank you so much! You can definitely do what Mary suggested or you can start over with cuttings on a new pole. It's really up to you! The existing leaves will stay the size they are now. So if you have longer vines, only the new growth will grow bigger. If you want larger leaves to grow more quickly then you will probably want to start over with cuttings so they can really grow into the moss. The coir poles usually only provide support and they aren't damp so the plants can have a harder time attaching to it and climbing to mature ☺️

[@haileycaldwell3174]

I’ve watched all of your watering videos on moss poles and I’m currently starting three plants on moss poles but I wonder how you can tell when the pot is dry since the moss pole can throw off the weight of the plant especially when the pole is watered but the substrate in the pot isn’t. Do you use a skewer to tell or is it just by sight of the medium and the way the plant looks? I usually judge a plants dryness by the weight and this is throwing me! lol help! Love love love your content btw!

[@jackzhu462]

Great video! If one already has a large pathos plant with long vines, and you want to throw in a moss pole, would the plant be tied to the pole with the nodes facing the vine?

[@JessieSpence-z7r]

If your showing just the front of the plant as it grows up couldn’t you pull the pole to the back of the pot and stabilize with zip ties?..also can you place the pole inside and adhere it to the pot then fill it in the base with substrate then moss..you are so informational and positive..thanks for all your help

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you! hmm, I haven't tried a pole pulling it to the back of the pot. I always center them and it seems to have great stability that way. Once the roots grow into the soil you can't move it around unless you unpot it but even then you will have a lot of roots that have grown. You can definitely fill the pole and base however you want to and whatever method works for you. I just find this way easier for me :)

[@elemenes]

This is awesome! How long would you say the roots should be before you take a prop and put it on a pole?

[@plantsbymelissa]

So glad! Theses roots took about 3-4 weeks to grow so whenever you see some secondary roots forming you should be good to pot up!

[@elune43749]

I don’t really have access to a special soil mix, I made my potting soil as aerated as I could with orchid bark, it’s not as free draining as you described but hopefully it’ll be okay if I’m careful about watering the moss pole 😢

[@CasaDeWooo]

When you were talking about not worrying about the leaves position yet…what do you do when you have larger more established plants on poles and the leaves just won’t sit right? I have a Philodendron Maximum on a pole and it’s doing amazing but the leaves are driving me crazy cause they keep wanting to turn backwards almost, away from the front of the pole. Any tips? I’ve seen someone tie them up somehow but I’m not sure how to do that or what to use for it. Thanks for all your tips as always…so helpful!!!

[@plantsbymelissa]

Sometimes I use some elastic string to position the vines closer together! I've done that for multiple plants behind me it helps with the internodal spacing and it brings them closer to the pole so it saves space too. The string I use is clear so you can't really notice it but it's annoying to tie haha. I have to mess with it for awhile to get it to work right. You can use craft string too or anything that you can find. The leaves may look a little weird at first but once you get the vines positioned right they'll move again towards the light. I'll link what I use here: www.amazon.com/dp/B07MTZX8BC?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzmeli0992-20&creativeASIN=B07MTZX8BC&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.27D4Z5CKST4WL&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d_asin

[@CasaDeWooo]

@@plantsbymelissa Thanks so much! It’s nice to hear I’m not the only one who it takes a long time to figure out the positioning of the string and how to tie it down. Lol. I gave up multiple times after trying and I finally just tied the first one somewhat successfully last night! I used that green stretchy fabric gardening tie but clear elastic string would be much better cause the thick green tie is an eyesore! Ty!

Repotting my pothos for the first time when i came across this video. So it's stated in the video that you want to train your pothos on that moss thingy early...so what does that mean for a full grown mature pothos? Can they be trained to climb? Or are they too set in their ways? Is it best to leave her growing the way shes been? Her vines are just so long and im new to this, she was my dads and he gave her to me for my new apartment, since my lease says i cant have a pet. Oh, and would you recommend miracle grow pour and feed singles for a pothos plant? Thanks for reading, looking forward to learning the tricks n trades so I dont end up killing my green beauty!

You can definitely add a small plant to a moss pole :) I would make sure to loosen the soil and get all the roots down far enough in the pot and fill up with your chunky mix. Then attach any vines that have grown close to the pole like I did here and it will start climbing in no time. Established plants are sometimes better to do than cuttings because their root system is more developed so it won't take them as long to situate in the pot!

Beautiful leaves variegations. I have given up on Epipremnum plants since they can get leggy. I like them trailing. I find Scindapus is another one aswell same growing patterns. I only own the Peru now. I love the see through tape you use where you get them? Definitely better than the plant ties where you cannot see them. Do they stick to other types of materials or just plastic?

I get mine off of amazon I can link it for you here. It's basically Saran Wrap but in a small roll. I have used it on my wire pole but sometimes it doesn't stick to itself so I use a small piece of tape to help hold in on. www.amazon.com/dp/B07SS3QF1S?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzmeli0992-20&creativeASIN=B07SS3QF1S&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.27D4Z5CKST4WL&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d_asin

Thanks Melissa, I’m going to attempt my first pole this weekend 💚🤞🏼 I find when i transfer water roots to soil they often rot and fry. What am I doing wrong?

[@plantsbymelissa]

aww good luck!! Some cuttings don't make it - it happens to me all the time! It's why I like to do a few just in case :) The more roots they have the better they will transition. I like getting the roots far enough down in the pot so as the soil is drying - the cuttings won't dry up. Water roots can withstand the soil being a little extra moist at first but if they dry up and you water again - they can rot. The chunky mix allows for a lot of aeration and traps in moisture too which encourages stronger roots to grow. When the soil is too dense it leads to little to no airflow so when it stays moist, it causes rot. So the soil mix itself, the soil moisture and amount of roots all play a big role! Make sure the plant can get some good light too! Hope that helps! 🫶

Hi Can you add some guidance on what goes in healthy Soil mix you added in Pathos plant combination of Compost+Perlite +charcoal etc etc

[@rachelfenton2911]

Please tell me the mixture of the potting soil items you used and also once the new roots come poking out of the pot you would just repot in a bigger sizer pot correct no more than 2" wider ?
