Supporting a plant using a Tree fern Pole for the first time!

[@claudiaarbona9984]

“If I count now I feel like I’ll have a problem” I made a list of all my plants yesterday and I was shocked to see the actual number!!! 😱

[@PlantswithKrystal]

See, I can’t do it! I don’t want to stop buying 😂

[@sandy_carpetsthesecond5013]

I got like 50 in one room...

[@larrywilkins6727]

I absolutely LOVE you, your personality, your vibe, your energy, and your 🪴 🪴 aka BIG BEEFS! I'd follow your plant wisdom anywhere! I pray to become half as good of a 🪴 parent as you are. ❤

[@PlantswithKrystal]

Thank you so much for being here and following along with my big beefs too 😂

[@Marialla.]

For tying plants to a support, I often use slices from old pantyhose. They're stretchy but strong so they hold the plant gently without cutting into the stems.

[@lindsey4178]

Yes! Thank you so much for the tip. I know a lot of people use the green velcro but I'm not a huge fan of how it looks on the poles/supports.nude panty hose is sheer and I think I could make look much better since it will somewhat blend in. Also, I wouldnt have to worry about the weight of the plant making tension and dig into the plant.

[@niagara6015]

Strips of pantyhose/stockings also work well to mount Orchids 😊

[@popfoot7965]

My Dad used to pinch Mum's stockings to stake up his tomatoes 😊

[@tinabeall22]

12:22 ohmygoodness that little face my heart absolutely melted 😩😭

[@PlantswithKrystal]

He’s my absolute baby! I love him to pieces.

[@jpgypsyxo]

I would recommend for tree fern totems to cut the package completely open and spray down with a spray bottle to help the dust while handling! and then I soak it before potting it up! That’s what I do. Good luck!! ❤

[@krystalwilliams8592]

Your face after sniffing that pole!!!😂😂😂 And after the crunching of the pole!!!😂😂😂 I love your videos so much! 💜 Thank you for sharing your plant parent journey with all of us!

[@sandyanderson3275]

What is the purpose of Ariel roots?

[@sandyanderson3275]

What do you think about presoaking the support?

[@graciouslygrowing9786]

I repotted an Asparagus Fern today and as I was adding soil I couldn't help but yell "Shimmy that shoil to shettle it!!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@alyssasoutheast2963]

I've always soaked the moss poles and coir poles I've used before for about a minute in a bucket before I add it to the pot, it's definitely awkward when it's dry lol

[@alyssasoutheast2963]

I also squeeze the poles while they soak so the water can get to the center easier

[@bonniehyden962]

That's what I was thinking: presoak before "planting" the pole.

[@Mel_T.s]

I love when I mix the exact amount of soil I need for just one repot! Lol it's a great feeling indeed!

[@Im1BossyChick]

That just happened for the 1st time today when I repotted my pothos! It was a great feeling like, okaaay! 💃🏽😄

[@jyvaineorchids2255]

Hello, i build mosspoles with plastic water bottles that i attach and pile up as if they were stackables and it work because when my plants grow i just have to poke new holes for the new roots and that's pretty much all, and i water like once a week it's super handy.

[@jenn1fer23]

Very curious to see this. Sounds cool and I'd love to try it out

[@Lou_isnt]

I love your videos! Your vibe is just awesome! I found your channel in the beginning of the year, and now I have 31 plants. Winter is coming, and I am scared as heck because I have never had plants over the winter before. Yehaw :D

[@anitajones7090]

Thanks for the new video Krystal. I got so worried when I saw the white sweater, puffy sleeves, loose hair and dirt 👀 But you pulled it all together. Never heard of a tree fern pole, I may try it out for myself.

[@katg2187]

I am a fan of your videos. You bring a smile to my day always. Your absolutely wonderful.

[@naturalgalwilliams]

She's too cute in her new pot💚❣️

[@gaylewatkins6781]

This is serendipity!!!!.... I just received my swiss cheese monstera yesterday.. I saw one in my bank on the counter in a vase of water it was very tall and I had to have... Nobody knew what it was so I researched it and found it on Amazon... It's beautiful I love it and now I need to learn more about it..

[@shrutisao2845]

oh mah god i just bought the same plant earlier today

[@jessicaschroeder5961]

Get it right! Get it right get it tight! I do the same thing all the time!

[@Nature-Body-and-Soul]

I just love your energi and it helps very much from another "I feel wirdoo" "hi hii" soul ❤😅😊

[@margarethernandez6006]

I love Audible...especially while I'm working with my plants!

[@kellys9222]

That looks so good! Hope that support works good. Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@badeds100]

Looks great!

[@sharonrimsza7960]

Highly recommend Audible. I have a couple of the boot trays. They are easily available in states where it snows. Love your channel.

[@SaskiaSketches]

I just got a variegated adansonii cutting from a friend of mine and I'm so excited about it! I'm really looking forward to seeing how it'll grow

[@PlantswithKrystal]

Yay! They are stunning for sure! Happy for you!

[@bloglivethehighve]

Totally appreciate you🙏, your plants💖 and that Selena TShirt💯

[@PlantswithKrystal]

Selena is always number one 🙌🏽 thank you so much!

[@Gkrissy]

I love that New Zealand tree fern. I started using tree fern fibre as well on my mixes.

[@teresamcbee6569]

The look on your face when you crinkle the support pole! So cute! This is helpful info, thank you!

[@earthplants]

"Wow, this is such a creative and innovative way to support your plant! I've never seen a Tree fern pole used like this before. It's not only functional but also adds a unique aesthetic to your garden. Thanks for sharing this idea; I'll definitely consider using it in my own gardening projects. Your video was well-explained and visually pleasing. Keep up the fantastic work, and I'm looking forward to more inspiring garden tips from your channel! 🌿🌱"

[@mechelleburk5680]

A sprayer will come handy for this. That’s what I used for my moss poles. Once the water quit rolling of it I would actually water the pole. Too labor intensive

[@MamaBearGotU]

Hey! I love your videos and vibes 😊❤. For when start outgrowing that pole what if you stick like 3 wooden sticks the ones for barbecue halfway in that way you can connect another of those poles on top just make sure to wet the pole first so is easy for you to put the small wooden sticks to it. Take care ❤

[@Laysplace23]

I cannot wait to get an update on this.

[@ginahampton2129]

Very nice plant and cool new support pole.

[@emiliehappyjack486]

Hi! I Hope you’re having a great day! I’m having a productive day! Question when you give food to your carnivorous plants, do you have a fly farm? How do you feed them?

[@idasvehla850]

I have a bunch of mosspoles with a plastick sheet inside so they dont't dry out so fast. But i totally understand that they are so much work. I hope this is an good option incase you dont have time to water a bunch of moss. ❤

[@emilywilson3963]

Keep up the amazing plant work

[@rekhakhatik6617]

Nice 👍

[@shellyshellz2800]

I have 100 plus plants in my home atm and tons of propagated starts because I always share with others. I also plant a huge garden every year, and preserve it all which is ALOT of work, but very rewarding. I love watching plants grow 🤍 I also love your channel, keep up the great work! I need to try this, never heard of this type of support before. Thanks for the info 🤍

[@shontellepetersen4445]

I love fernwood tree fern fiber, they harvested it sustainably here in New Zealand and you can get it in bags loose which is perfect for making substrate mixes for plants and terrariums. I use it with all my pink princess philys and they are thriving and it's great in my frog enclosures.

[@NamasteGolden]

Can’t wait the update!!!

[@lori-yn4yi]

Yes, perfect. Great info. I love how you present things, in ways anyone can understand.

[@emilywilson3963]

I love your videos so very much and you are so adorable as a person

[@carolstuff]

It’s looking good. Updates please & thanks for sharing Krystal!

[@Cn3rd1]

I used one of those poles before the outside is like cococoir and the inside is styrofoam. The plant looks amazing you let your viewers know so much about plants.❤

[@102HuevosFritos]

I’d put a garden plastic coated dowel on the back and attach the other part of the 2 pack too the top with your Velcro tape

[@lori-yn4yi]

I will be trying this.

[@ConnieP92]

Would love an update on this one to see how your adonsonii gets along with the tree fern pole 💪

[@LilyBella-gj1lf]

You are so awesome. I just got one of those plants. I'm totally going to try to get one of those supports for mine. Thank you SOOOO MUCH.

[@PlantswithKrystal]

I appreciate your support! Thank you!!!

[@amandarobb2856]

Greetings! Just realized while i watched you "drowning that hole" that we didn't see you "shimmy that soil". Did you do so off camera? Lol. I'm really expanding my collection (stopped counting at 60 plants" and I'm having so much success from what you are teaching us. Thanks and praise from Peterborough Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 ♥️

[@69dogodon]

You could have wet it down with your pressurized watering container. It would be nice if the pole wasn't as thick.

[@thedevilwearschanclas]

I just found to today! I love your personality. ❤❤❤❤

[@michellecastro2475]

Im curious to see how you like the pole. I need to add a mama pothos in a pole. I chopped her already and she is going crazy. Love your videos.

[@kimgomez8099]

Oh I hope this works! Sending good juju to you!

[@stephanierene3537]

Great video!!! Since you mentioned hydrophobic soil I have a quick question. I have not repotted my aloe since July of last year and the soil is definitely hydrophobic. Should I report? The plant itself is doing marvelous and hasn't EVER had any problems.

[@regi985]

Hi, I watched a couple of videos where they tested tree fern fiber and all of them didn´t like the pre-made totem thing. To me it sounds like it too much compacted and acts more like a coco coir pole. But if you have the loose tree fern fiber that seems to be really nice and you can mix it with moss if you want. Other than that if you have a moss pole that has a closed back and it not too skinny then it stays moist for a few days and you can water it quite stress free with a bottle on top of the pole.

[@wendybroadhurst8658]

Would you maybe suggest soaking the bar before replanting with it.

[@ElocinAlways]

I had to search you, fell out of my feed cycle. Youre style changed a bit, in this vid, at least. But i love you. And soak the b!t(h is a standard in our gardening. ❤❤❤ I hope your new format is attracting and hrlping a new group, to benefit from your wisdom. Im still a fan of saving the sad, discount plants. Ill learn to love your new style. Glad youre still here, love

[@tyoni9296]

A sponsor!! Yay!!

[@Petals_midair]

I wonder if you could connect the tree fern poles somehow to make it longer

[@EmelyPhan]

I wonder if leaving it in the sink that is filled with water for a few minutes would work.

[@heatheryarbrough5255]

Could you buy multiple tree fern poles and attach them to a cedar plank for your bigger plants . Love your channel

[@KayBX]

My moss poles aren’t a chore. Just takes about 5 minutes putting upside down water bottles with holes in the lids :)

[@rosewagner4018]

I absolutely love you! You make me laugh! Please, please do more KZbin!

[@cathyjhanson]

You’ve introduced me to the Monstera world! My daughter gave me a cutting and it’s got enough roots to plant but now I’m considering cutting it in half to get two because both would have lots of roots.

[@carmenbowman6424]

Yay

[@dinahbarnes6335]

Audiobooks ❤❤❤❤❤

[@threeqtrtime]

If it holds moisture at the root base will it rot the roots? I’ve never seen one of these before

[@hannahtezza706]

HELLO KRYSTAL, FIRST THING, I WOULD HAVE SOAKED THE POLE BEFORE PUTTING INTO THE POT. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT IDEA? SECONDLY, WHEN YOU GO TO EXTEND THE POLE, MAYBE PUSH SOME WOODEN DOWEL INTO THE BOTTOM POLE AND THEN PUSHING THE SECOND ONE ONTO JOIN THEM TOGETHER. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT IDEA ALSO. LOVE WATCHING YOUR KZbin VIDEOS, YOU ARE JUST WONDERFUL. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. ANNETTE QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA.

[@heidie250]

Wow here I am watching you and we live so close 😂

[@hhef83]

A vanilla orchid?! Well well...never heard of one and now I'm off to Etsy (after I watch your video..) to find one. Pics on google are so perdy.

[@hennesseyme9112]

I wonder if you soaked it first would it break while repotting or maybe just watering the plant and let it absorb up the pole?

[@mariedoll6081]

I wonder if the pole should be soaked ahead of time?

[@green_day_freak]

❤❤❤

[@celestialynx]

I am curious, how long will it last in it's current shape and how will it perform? I don't really want to use mosspools myself, plastic/wooden sticks are not really suitable, I use coconut fibre tubes at the moment but without a heavier cover the pot falls over (I didn't think to put something in the middle of the tube or the pot itself on the bottom. I hope for an update ;)

[@korriekearns4584]

I wonder if you pre soak it in the sink before you put it in with the plant, maybe that would work better.

[@RavenStorm1031]

I have missed u lady!!!! Hope u are doing well!

[@PlantswithKrystal]

Thank you so much! Doing well, busy but good! Hope you’re doing amazing!

Thank you so so much!!!!

[@VonHayes9]

I wonder if you should have soaked the pole before setting up the pot.

[@PlantswithKrystal]

I wonder too! 🤔

[@annabell0.0]

i have this monstera myself and its a real monster. I got her last year about the same size as yours and i could tell she wanted something to climb on. Well now she is almost 2meter (78,7 inches) tall, i cut the top leaf with airrots off three times and she is still growing taller🥲 but now she started to get brown spots on some leaves wich i cant explain why.

[@torquess454]

Whoa they’re expensive here on Amazon Canada! 95$! For one! Oof You don’t wet the totem first? Maybe get the dust down? I woulda stuck it in a sink of water for a while first

[@visakaweerasinghe4236]

👍👍👏❤️

[@popfoot7965]

Could we try soaking the pole first say the night before?

[@jayadileep6515]

Boa noite amiga,venho prestigiar sua linda planta 🪴

[@pattyann362]

I think soaking the pole first ??

[@jasminatf]

Can they grow bigger without moss poles? I thought all the roots inside the pole is what makes them grow big

[@jessicagregory4624]

Have we seen an update on this? Very curious if the roots actually grow into these poles it would be very convenient!

[@PlantswithKrystal]

That will be a great update! I have some things to show. I can work on that this week.

[@jessicagregory4624]

that would be awesome thanks! 🎉🎉

[@rebaschiaffo9501]

What if you soaked the pole first before potting

[@GreenLifeNursery]

It's good that you stopped counting. I ended up starting a nursery business to support my hobby 😂

Why can't we use use just a regular garden stake to hold up monsteras?

I'm wondering why you didn't soak it before you even started????..were there instructions?

Everyone is using sphagamus now and a Amazon holder. How can u have 150 plants! I have 11 and im exhausted 😂

[@jewels964]

Could u just lay that in the tub or something and soak pre use? Prob more messy tho lol

[@janvafa9959]

I think you needed to soak the support before planting and attaching the plant…
