32:29 Very informative. I have a plant that needs a pole and have procrastinated. Now I feel better about making one.❤

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Glad to be of help and happy new year, Sharon 😊

Hi Rachel, happy 2024! Good luck with your new vanilla plant. TTFN

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Thank you! You too!

[@paulinecrispin121]

Happy New year Rachel, I was amazed by this video. I have never seen this done before. I thought it turned out really well. I am not too good with indoor plants, I tend to stick to the garden. 😊

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Glad you found the video useful. Maybe you'll give it a go!

[@paulinecrispin121]

Indeed I might give it ago😊

You are so welcome!

Hi Rachel, you did a great job getting her on that moss pole. I have considered putting one or two of my plants on moss poles, but I just don't know!! Anyway, I can't wait to see how yours does and how much bigger her leaves get!! Have a very happy and safe new year and wishing the same to all of your subscribers and viewers!! 🍾🥂🍾

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Thanks, Wanda. I'm very excited by the whole thing and can't wait to get going with the Monstera adonsonii. I put the Philodendron on a pole yesterday. I'll show it in my next video. Happy new year.

Happy new year, Bonnie.

Happy New Year Rachel! I have always been interested in vanilla plants and it was interesting to watch you construct the moss pole. I've never made or used one so it was a good lesson. Thank you!

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Glad the video was useful. Maybe you'll give it a go.

[@galecunningham1250]

Excellent video! Thanks for all of the details on growing this great orchid. Seeing how to put the moss pole together was very helpful. A very happy New Year to you, Rachel.

Moss poles are great but man do they use up a lot of moss. I end up buying a lower quality moss because I can get 5 times the volume for the same price as the NZ. I just made a new pole for a Philodendron that I filled with a 50/50 mix of coconut husk chips and chopped sphagnum. It stays moist almost as long as all sphagnum but time will tell if the roots will go into it or not. I don't see why they wouldn't, but we will see.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Well, I was surprised at how little moss the pole took 😊 Let us know how yours do longer term.

[@LeafyConversations]

Hi Rachel, question would you have to use the Orchid bark at the bottom or can you just leave it empty? Another question I have is are you concerned with pests in your moss? I appreciate your video I am about to embark on this adventure for my Pink Princess. 😅

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Hi there. I think the bark at the base of the pole is chiefly to stop the moss falling down. In terns of pests, fungus gnats would be my biggest concern but I am sure that they are not present in the mix and moss I've used so I should be okay. Pink Princess is a beauty. Good luck!

[@erichclaeserichamon3135]

Tell me where did you find this poole please ❤

[@GardeningatDouentza]

I bought it on Shein. They have different types there

[@AhmadAsrafHashim]

U forgot to remove the protective plastic cover 😬

[@GardeningatDouentza]

What protective plastic cover?

[@AhmadAsrafHashim]

@@GardeningatDouentza the pole has a protective plastic cover like when u have to peel one for an iPhone, the pole supposed to have a transparent look instead of frosted

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Nah, this pole has no protective layer.@@AhmadAsrafHashim

[@AhmadAsrafHashim]

​@@GardeningatDouentza 8:30 look at the 2nd tab from the right (the corner is already peeled a bit), that's the protective plastic cover.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

​@@AhmadAsrafHashim The corner of the plastic is slightly damaged. I think that is what you are seeing.
