Keep Moss Poles UPRIGHT: EASY Solutions To Stop Falls

[@kershanmoodley795]

I just made my first pole for rhaphidophora I'm so happy ! I thought to put a pole running down the middle, but it was still wobbly. You made me think to also put a pole going down the back. Tysm it is much sturdier now!

[@TheLecaQueen]

Sounds great! Did you put the pole inside the moss? I always make sure to put them outside the mesh to make it easier to remove themif I need to.

[@TheADIN212]

@@TheLecaQueen Yes I did, but I left enough stake coming out of the top so if I pull really hard I can get it to slide out or put another moss pole on it. It's just hard plastic and pretty skinny. I put a wood one on the back though.

Lovely ❤️ I just discovered your youtube canal a few hours ago approx 7 hours, watching continuously, can't stop catching sight of your magic plants and your work.

When you water the moss poles, how does that work with the leca underneath? Do you have holes in the pots and then then just tip any excess water out of the cache pot? I've just queued up your video on watering the moss poles to watch next, so hopefully my question will be answered in that video ☺

[@TheLecaQueen]

You could probably get away with just using some kind of stake not necessarily a moss pole. You could also hide the zip ties at the back and tuck them in so they are not visible, colour match them as well. Good luck.

[@neerajadamarla929]

Thank you for the video. I have my plants in soil and on moss poles they get dry pretty quickly but even the moss poles in leca are dry so the confusion here is poles don't need to be moist for the plant to latch?

[@TheLecaQueen]

Hello, thank you for watching and commenting. I have poles in both soil and leca. Depending on how you water your poles and the temperature where you are, they may dry out pretty fast. Ideally the poles need to be kept moist. The ideal conditions for root formation need to be met and a crucial one is moisture. I greatly encourage you to keep your poles moist if you want the aerial root system to develop quickly and be extensive.

[@mollycatcolorado9252]

I found some three types of plastic pots on Amazon that are somewhat similar size and shape. Two of them are types of Clear Orchid Pots. One of the orchid pots has vertical slits that I think will work as is. The other Orchid pot is also clear with bottom drainage but the walls are solid. I plan to use a wood burning tool to melt holes in the sides. The third type of container is a bit smaller than shown but still much taller than it is wide. It’s actually a clear deli container in the 32oz size. Obviously these have no drainage holes at all so that would need to be added.

Hi! I feel like for me the problem is more so the pot falling over rather than the mosspole, if you know what I mean. I do (almost) all things you've mentioned in the video and as a result my mosspoles feel very steady. But the problem for me is the actual pot. I just extended one of my mosspoles and I'm scared it might fall, now that there's more weight on it. I did put it in a big ceramic coverpot, but that's not really helping all too much. Maybe if it fits a coverpot perfectly it might give more stability than when the coverpot is much bigger like how I have it now? I'm not sure...

[@TheLecaQueen]

I wonder if the pots you are using are lightweight and not heavy enough?

[@RoseBailey-z5t]

What r u going to do when that sotho touches the ceiling?????

I think you should take a cutting of a big leaf and start another one to make the leaves EVEN bigger! As she obviously can't really get much taller at this point with nearly been to the ceiling.

[@ModelSkyscrapers]

Thanks Nora! Are there artificial materials (like foam, fabric, or water beads) that may work (and not mold) instead of moss, soil, or coco coir (which would scatter across the floor if the pole falls)? 😃

I might be just being incredibly stupid, but you seem to have made an 11 minute video about How To Stop Moss Poles From Falling Over, but you haven’t said how to do it. You advised to use a heavy outer pot, which will help stop the whole plant and pot falling over. You haven’t said how to stop just the poke falling over. How do you keep the moss pole upright in the pot? And how can you make a 12-minute video called How To Keep Moss poles Upright without once saying how to do it?

[@tomsmith481]

Just to be clear, I want to know how you have secured your poles inside the pot? Is the metal pole attached to the pot in some way? And now the more I think about it, I would rather get an answer to my second question- how on earth can you make a 12-minute video about How To Stop A Moss Pole from falling over without actually telling us how to do it? What was going through your brain when you reviewed this after you posted it?

[@tomsmith481]

Are the poles attached to the inside of the pot in anyway? Are the poles wedged in with stones or aggregate at the bottom of the pot? Do the metal support rods go through hole in the bottom of the pot maybe? Are the metal poles attached to the pot in some one? Your plants are all beautiful but you’ve just made a 12-minute video showing off how stable they all are on their moss poles without saying how you do it. Maybe the title shouldn’t be “How To Keep Moss Pole Upright” it should just be “Here’s 12-minutes Viewing Some Beautiful Plants With Their Solid Upright Poles And No Explanation About How To Keep Them Upright. No Explanstion At All”

Hello thank you for watching and commenting. I think we have a difference in opinion on what falling over means, which I think is ok.

Also are you growing in soil or leca. Thanks.
