I have some of those Treleaf trellises and they are beautiful but ridiculously expensive.

[@tastebud_hero4473]

I’ve been looking for a trellis for a while and loved the look of this product - especially the modular Zella. Unfortunately shipping to Australia cost more than the product 😔. The search continues…

[@nikkilovell2992]

I’m in Australia too. Nearly fell off my chair after spending a stupid amount of time picking the perfect trellis’s, I was so excited after saving up based on the advertised prices I had seen, then BAM…. At Checkout and the shipping is added. I can do without them too! Pricing themselves out of the market

[@elSethro]

Another option can be "rotating" your plants in a different sense - have a couple of spots in your house where they display nicely though the light is not ideal, and cycle your trellised plants so they spend a couple days a week on display, and the rest of the week in better light (while a different plant is on display). As a bonus, you get different plants "featured" in your display spots from day to day which makes things a bit more interesting. Also, it allows you to display plants in places with bad lighting, since they'll get more light for the rest of the week (and makes use of 'display' spots that you weren't already using for plants anyway, due to the low light). Finally, the additional time you spend moving plants around makes you more likely to notice issues, pests, et c. Best to check that the plant isn't too sensitive, though - some may not like to be moved, and as they get bigger and bigger, moving them twice a week might be less feasible.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Interesting idea 💡

[@Dwynfal]

I rotate plants for display regularly as I have a great display spot in my living room but the light is quite low. I don't want to put a grow light there as I have another light fixture that provides mood lighting I love. I've found that as long as the substrate is not sopping wet most of my plants do fine. Of course they don't grow but seem to be happy just to snooze in the shelving unit for a week or two. Jades, pothos, sansevierias, small philodendrons, agleonemas, zz, (some) peperomias & hoyas, various succulents, all have done fine! I don't water them, they spend a week or two on display where I enjoy them daily and then go back to their usual spot. I probably wouldn't do that with my divas, calatheas, anthuriums, etc, though! 😂

[@mikkibubble4711]

Those “zimmer frames” look REALLY cool, even without any lovely plants latching on ❤

[@mwacks2011]

I put the trellis in the middle of the pot, and have the plant climbing up both sides. I turn it every week. That way I always have a nice view, and the leaves get enough light.

Excellent. Glad I could help

[@EdVed206]

8:40 Couldn’t the problem of the plant growing and climbing up the trellis in the window but only seeing the backside of it be solved by having the plant grow up both sides of the trellis and rotating it??? It would still receive more light that way than way back in a room? - assuming no grow light added. Thanks for your helpful videos Mr Sheffield. I can’t wait to get some of these trellises!

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

You could but it wouldn’t be able to latch on. Unless you have 2 stems I guess. Not tried it 😅

[@melaniehunter6612]

I would love to purchase the trellis by Treleaf but when shipping is $65 and I’m only in Canada, makes it a crazy expensive product. I think most people will find this unless they are in the US.

_"But Mr.Sheffield [...] the only thing I'd see is its behind and not the beautiful leaves"_ 🤣👍 The one thing that many don't get is, _you_ are there for the plants, not the other way around! They didn't ask to come to your place, it was you who decided to kidnap them from the warm greenhouses and cozy growlights 😁so, you care! ..and you make them happy first so they can make you happy, if that means putting them out the window (as you might not be just as bright😉), so be it... half my monstera sticks out behind the curtains and enjoys south window, but I always can turn them around for a while and boy do they shine ❤ thanks for the vid, your Adansonii is terrific ❤

You're a very silly man ❤ Will try a trellis for my funky Philodendrons

[@RangeGleasry]

Yikes I recently spent a lot of time making a pole for my elderly pothos that I inherited and that was fifteen feet long. I did cut it back for two or three feet but now I realize I should cut it back a lotttttt more. Gonna go get myself a treleaf or similar then I guess

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

You’ve got this ✊

[@RangeGleasry]

Today you rvideo launched me into a morning of watching KZbin videos on how to make my own trellis out of the pole I already had and ended up reusing bamboo stakes and wire to turn the pole into a sort of trellis. And cut back some of the branches with more to come. I hope she’ll be happy 😭 it’s not as pretty as a treleaf but it is affordable and immediate!

[@godlaster3182]

[@thelaughingface6159]

I have been using Treleaf supports and love them. I made some mistakes in the beginning by threading some leaves through the holds in the Treleaf. Sorry! I have a Florida Philodendren which grows side to side which I do rotate. It is quite tall now and looks beautiful. I can see that you have to choose which Treleaf support, to accommodate each particular type of plant. Thanks for answering my question about which way to face the plant if it is growing on a Treleaf support. I turn them around when company comes, or to treat myself occasionally to their beauty. One question I do have is this. I have 75 plants. I love the bottom watering and they are thriving. I put a large plastic tub in my sink and bottom water a few at a time. Often I am watering at night. Question: Is it OK to leave some overnight in the water, and sometimes with a light, liquid fertilizer in the water? I have been doing this for several months, and they all seem to thrive. But I wanted to check with you. Thanks for any help. Nancy Marano. USA - New Jersey

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Yes that shouldn’t be a problem. If they’re thriving then it’s all good 👍

[@zweipinguine]

Now i finally know what keeps my Adansonii complaining. I bought it when it was already quite big but the shop didn't give it anything to climb onto and it still hasn't latched onto the plank that i gave it, likely because i also didn't give it enough time

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Great stuff 👍

[@barbarabennett519]

Thanks! Such a great idea. Do the wooden supports also work for Pothos and Hoyas?

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Pothos yes. Not tried Hoya yet

[@scented-leafpelargonium3366]

I use green bamboo canes for supporting small plants in my greenhouse, which they do need, but in the past few weeks with the damper cooler winter weather the canes are covered in mildew and spreading to the plants. 🤯 Not sure what to do on limited budget.

[@dollycaldwell4938]

Get yourself a nice piece of flat long wood. Drill large to medium holes throughout. Use black electric tape to rap around the bottom of the wood that wood go under the dirt as to waterproof it. And you are done. 😊👍🏻

[@bedtimebiblechat7152]

My adansonii is very long and I have it on a metal arbor but it's not getting larger leaves so can I cut it back ( how far back ) and put one of those beautiful stakes in it? Can I then take the clippings and fill in the pot to thicken it up? Thanks!

[@jamesa7506]

Do you ever have any problems with the trellised plant becoming too top heavy or the stakes being insufficient to hold up itself and plant, especially when you start to add the extensions on?

[@elSethro]

I would definitely expect/plan for that. Would definitely help to use a heavier pot (or cover pot over the nursery pot). Could also tie the trellis itself onto something.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Yeah plan ahead with your pot choice. It’s easy enough to repot once the plant is attached though

Bamboo, bits of wood, anything tall really

I'm curious why you don't use moss poles with sphagnum moss so the ariel roots can attach and draw nutrients and the leaves get really big? It won't get as big without drawing more nutrition from the ariel roots.

I've got a couple of newly set up ones. Finding the moss dries out quickly and it's hard to hydrate

[@MaybeTiberius]

the most one mistake i ll regret is coming from sydney plant guy, the way of taking a cutting. and its mindblowing if you think about it. if you take a fresh cut and put it in water, you kind of revert it back to a new small plant. but if you air layer the plant first and make the cutting root before you cut it while its still attached to the plant, it ll get supported by the entire plant below meanwhile putting out more growth and then you prune and you have a full established plant as a cutting because it already has a root system. its like you re cutting established plants out of your plant. why cutting first and then letting it root if you can just do it the other way around. it really made me question myself why i was doing it like this because at least on aroids, taking a cutting and then place it in water makes zero sense. air layering first is just so much better

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Thanks I need to experiment with that. Sounds like extra work but worth a go

[@MaybeTiberius]

@@SheffieldMadePlants its really not, you just take...any type of container, some plastic drinking cup or jogurt cup, cut it open on one side and put a hole in the bottom so you can put it over a plant stem node. but anything will do, you just somehow have to make sure some moist moss can stick to the stem. you could prob. even wick a moist paper towel around the node. just make it root before you cut it

Good ideas for supporting plants. My satin pothos has begun to attach itself to living room wall. Gently removing the suckers has removed tiny bits of painted surface! I now have it attached to an expanding piece of white painted trellis, from Amazon (or any UK garden centre).
