trying to size up my manjula pothos + soil to passive hydro transition

[@Plantsavvy]

Ideal way to make a moss pole🙌 and brilliant Manjula Pothos! 🌱🍃🙏

[@aniliname]

My manjula LOVES pon. Unlike what I hear from a lot of other people, my manjula is a very tough and vigorous grower. I grew it out from a cutting and put it through a lot and it never flinched. I had it in pon without a reservoir for a long time and then moved it to self-watering. I feel like it likes to dry out more than most of my other plants and def appreciates the aeration of pon/perlite and I think it appreciates my sunny apartment more than my other pothos. I had it in a bit too much sun and it gave me smaller weird looking leaves but didn’t freak out like my other pothos did in high light. Then it started to size up again when I found the right spot with indirect, somewhat lower light.

[@alfersantos1010]

I started in mine November 2021 and the biggest leaf was slightly bigger than your biggest leaf. Fast forward to today, the biggest leaf is now about the size of my whole hand and it’s only halfway my pole. I just kept air layering it to my pole making sure it stays constantly moist and it gets lots of light to speed up the growth. Also i have it growing in normal home conditions here in Canada (humidity during the winter is about 25-35%)

[@marthamiriam8983]

Can’t wait to see those leaves the size of a monstera! I’m here for it!

[@maryjanegiven131]

Only been watching for a couple of months. But love your videos, even though I've only ever planted in soil . Love the long videos. To me your videos are not only informative but they relax me . Your pace is real time and your voice tone is very soothing. I am a lot older than you . I understand your anxiety as I've too have suffered this also. Keep up your good work. I'm using your lazy pole method on some of my plants, in soil. So much easier. Thank you for being you💜 From the east coast of Canada. Saint John, N.B. right on the coast.

That very specific Majula has such a nice pattern!

[@unplantparenthood]

I definitely got lucky with a great specimen! I’ve seen a lot of Manjulas sort of more marble queen variegation, which is also really beautiful too, but really nice manjula variegation is freakin stunning 😍

[@angelinemccloud1258]

I finally got my manjula yesterday was gifted a cutting and it’s beautiful I love urs too I think I’ll do a pole once it’s rooted. Thank u

[@unplantparenthood]

Yay!!! I feel like every plant lover NEEDS a manjula! And I’m so happy they’re becoming more readily available at good prices- but it’s a bonus when it’s gifted! 💖

[@skyangelthefan]

Ahhhh! A video from Charmaine perfect video to watch, while I am in bed winding down from a long and very busy day. After, your last video of watching you water your plants 🪴 I ordered the Liquid Gold Leaf, Cal Mag and Marphyl. I am just waiting on the liquid gold leaf. Charmaine, Luckily my husband loves plants 🪴 because if, he didn’t I would just be saying it’s Charmaine’s fault!!!! She made me do it because I am fan girling her and her plants 🪴 😂. Have a Great week, give your hubby my condolences and a hug to Pudgey.

[@whocaresaboutplants]

I saw everyone trying to get big leaves on their Manjula, and now I'm on it, too. I just added a pole on mine this weekend. 😊

[@unplantparenthood]

We can do it!

[@kristathompson9888]

It looks so beautiful in that pot 💚💚💚💚

[@girlie0226]

I have one Manjula on a plank and another trailing. I like the way it looks both ways so it's one of the few plants I have a duplicate of. Looking forward to watching your progress!

[@grat2010]

My goal this year is to see how big I can get some of my plants' leaves. My manjula is definitely included now after seeing that photo you posted. Good luck with yours!

[@rabbitsandphilodendron]

i love your videos so much :) its something i always look forward to after work, seeing you do plant stuff and talk about plants is really relaxing and i can sit there do some of my own plant chores just vibing

[@ofhismercy109]

Here's Some Kudos. 😋 J.k. that is a very cool pole. Manjula is my favorite pothos maybe except Global Green. Now I want to grow them up. I left a pothos outside hanging on a shepherd's hook last summer and it rapidly grew down to the ground, rooted, then climbed up the house putting out giant leaves. I left it out for the winter to see if it might survive (we're new here in zone 8) but it died. It was fun while it lasted, though.

[@plantypittsburgh]

I now have my adosonii on a huge lazy moss pole in my entryway. I was pretty unsuccessful with my first attempt at a D. I tried using vinyl that I already had, but it was quite flimsy.

[@wildcatdiva4974]

I’m on it. I have not made any poles yet but this will be my first project. Found a $7 manjula from Lowe’s. I’m going to use “plastic canvas” needlework netting with plastic sewed on to line it (sewed with a big needle and fishing line. I plan on loosely threading some jute twine through the plastic canvas holes along the front of the pole to loosely hold the moss in. I may sew some plastic loops loosely together to put on the pole to help hold everything in too.

[@thegrowingspirit]

Listening to this while adding moss poles to my plants! I really want a Manjula now 😍 Love ya Charmaine! I hope it takes well to the transition!

[@thegrowingspirit]

Btw I'm one of the people who enjoy your long videos, I like that I don't have to stop what I'm doing in the middle of a repot to find another video but this was great too 😊

[@avamundy1654]

Mission success! A video (barely) under 30 minutes! Looking forward to seeing the progress of your manjula :) I just put mine on a lazy pole!

[@acutelyalex8700]

❤️❤️❤️ 🍀🍀🍀 excited to watch as soon as the video was up (almost)!

[@Anah-B]

Does she have a video addressing the micorhiza use? I’m curious now

[@emmamurphy7317]

I love your channel and all of your videos. You voice is so soothing. 🥰 Hope you’ll have a nice day!

[@unplantparenthood]

Aww thank you Emma for watching and being here! I hope you have a good day too!!

[@4eva123]

Do you have an update on this plant?! How big are the leaves now?

[@rhimoon6454]

First time comment on your channel. Just wanted to say I think you’re fab! Your videos are so relaxing to watch and I actually quite enjoy the long videos 🤣 thank you for all your hard work! 🪴🪴

[@lisaanglim9588]

How do you cut do straight without a ruler or marking it?

[@stryder1587]

Question about DynoMyco, they are kind of course granules, not exactly powder that can be sprinkled on. Can you please show how you got them on the roots without having them roll right off? Are you squeezing them on? Getting the roots wet so it sticks a bit?

[@marygorchidsmore2058]

Hi Sharmin, I really like this pole you just made. Where do you get the clear plastic (back of the pole)? I look forward to see your manjula grow great in this pole. Thanks for sharing and happy growing.

[@jennuine]

I’m so happy there’s a new video! But also sad that it’s only 30min long. But also very grateful for all your hard work! ♥️ (beggars cannot be choosers, Jennifer 🙄)

[@pchan8687]

I killed a Manjula in a pon transfer attempt last summer SOOO sad about that. I managed to save a teeny cutting and rooted it in pon. It's working on leaf #4 so pray for us! Wishing you well on your transfer 🍀

[@unplantparenthood]

Aw man I’m sorry to hear that! I’ve had some previous pon transfer fails as well- I’m holding my breath until I see a new root 🥶

[@Marilynpearls]

So how. If is your poked manjula now?

[@allanma3531]

Can you please provide us an update video about this manjula pothos after 5 months?

[@growingmyserotonin]

Oh my gosh, you trying to cut that zip-tie just had me cracked right up 😂 I also did the exact same thing today while repotting an old man cactus...forgot the myco and had to gingerly carry it across the house while being shanked 😒

[@unplantparenthood]

That zip tie was like ✋ TRY AGAIN ✋ NOPE AGAIN ✋ NICE TRY SWEATY ✋ I CAN DO THIS ALL NIGHT ✋

[@BoojiePanda]

Do you think this would also work for an N'Joy?

[@kkmeilicke]

Your manjula is really pretty-definitely a good candidate for growing big, beautiful leaves. I combined a couple small pots from Costa Farms, but I don’t think their leaves are quite as nice. My plastic binder sheets are in the mail-lazy invisipole, here I come!

[@nashvegastony]

Where do you get those straight sided glass containers?

[@plantseveryinch9024]

On the hunt for a manjulia atm actually so great video to watch while i await finding one 😍🌱💚

[@unplantparenthood]

Definitely worth the hunt! I hope you find one! 💖

[@feistyfluxy]

I bought a surprise prop box that came with a beautiful manjula and the fucker rotted when I tried water propping it. I did have luck with 75% of the cuttings in that box, so I'm not too sad. Until I saw those giant leaves! Suppose I could get one?

[@pinkhussle7589]

Will u be doing an update?

[@ceciliawong80]

Where did you get the plastic clear screen and white mesh from?

[@Mandi_Hui]

I had the njoy which is the same type as the manjula the variegations. Mine kept getting fungas gnats and browning on the leaves. So giving the manjula a try. I was told only the green part photosynthesis so they depend on that part to survive. So they need alot of indirect sunlight to thrive and no brown leaves. Compared to the other pothos that have more green they grow really well. I definitely like the marble queen more than the golden one. I stick with using bamboo sticks and plastic plant sticks to support my plants. I am not fond of the diy sphagnum moss pole because i find it hard balancing the watering and getting root rot it can be tricky.

[@Weirder_the_better]

UGH! The only downside to watching your videos is that it always results in me having another plant chore to do, hahaha. Now I need to repot my manjula immediately and at least give it a moss pole! The growth on yours was crazy!

[@amberfrazier575]

Get a moisture meter and water, the exact same amount of water when it measures three on the meter every single time consistency is key. You’ll never get root rot again, fluff your soil regularly, endo mychorzial fungi powder mixed in with your water or dusted on the roots during planting will help breed the good bacteria that fight root rot and get your plant healthy with a strong root system.

[@lisaanglim9588]

Tree fern fiber? What is it?

[@hillybanks3891]

Have you posted an update yet? I recently just got a manjula as a gift when I bought my Philodendron pink princess. It's just a baby, 2 leaves, currently pushing out a 3rd. After seeing this I totally want to grow it on a pole too, in Hope's it grows big luscious leaves 😍 just subscribed as well 😊👍🏼 thank you

[@joannanovara815]

How do you flush the substrate or prevent algae growth(which I've heard happens pretty quickly in those clear glass containers)?

[@jennuine]

She has a video on it 🙃

[@IntrovertExtrovert]

She flushes the plant vessel w a mix of hydrogen peroxide+water then rinses w water

[@SteveNoblin]

Is marble queen and manjula the same plant?

[@JamCanGurl]

My Manjula grows so slow and for every 3-4 leaves I get I lose an old one. TFS. Bought a new plant I need to get on one of those kinds of poles.

[@natashaoreilly7072]
