Hello, found your channel recently and so glad I did! You have some of the most beautiful plants on poles I've ever seen, and I've watched a lot of YT videos about plants and been to quite a few plant shops. I absolutely love your Silver Sword, it's def one of my fav's and yours looks really healthy n happy. I've been binging your videos the last couple days and really appreciate all the work it takes to post n share your content. Thank you n God bless you, my dear!😇🙏🌿
Thank you for your kind words and for watching and subscribing, much appreciated! Thank you!Yes the Silver Sword is a thing of beauty!
@@TheLecaQueen You're very welcome.😇🙏
I just found you when I was searching how to water moss poles. All I have to say is: YOU ARE A QUEEN! You caught my attention with your awesome energy and presence. Keep doing what you’re doing girl, you’re awesome 💕
Lela you made day. Thank you 😊
I've had issues with the bottle draining too quickly, raining down the outside of the pole, especially if I accidentally let the moss dry too far, and into the pot. I'd rather water/feed my plants separately. So I came up with an excellent idea. I use the Terra cotta watering spikes! I embed it in the top of my poles and when I invert the bottle, it slowly wicks only as the moss needs it, as it's drying out! So it never dries out, stays constantly evenly moist! Works splendidly!! I can fill a bigger bottle, even with short poles and they stay perfectly evenly damp, without major wet areas that are waiting to distribute the moisture through the moss. Love it!! As soon as the bottles are empty, several days later, I refill them and repeat. Happy Growing! 💚
I am so glad this works well for you. I have heard lots of good things about this method.
Shoutout to my fellow adhd peeps watching this 2x with subtitles. LOVE this video, so practical, I tend to be an underwaterer, I need everything spelled out or else I'll do it some really inefficient impractical way & then forget. Thankyou!
PS - this needs to go in your Moss Poles playlist.
Hello my peep! 😂😂
Girl you gave me so many ideas for my leca life! Love you!
Glad I could help! Check out my Instagram for even more ideas!
Love this! Now I’m making moss poles for everything
Fabulous! All the best 👍
Oh, good. Me, too!
If you keep the bottle cap and make a few tiny holes, the water will drip slowly and no need to pre spray it and no mess!
I got my answers to my questions thanks 😊
Love all of your content. Keep it coming.
More to come! Thank you!
I'm so excited to make moss poles! Love your videos! Thank you
You are so welcome!
So encouraging seeing your huge hastatum leaves. I just ordered moss poles for mine. Just fyi, canopy plant co sometimes has $15 hastatums. They used to be so pricey
Good Morning! Your channel was recommended to me this morning as I had been looking at peat poles for my pothos plants yesterday. Thank you! New subscriber.
Wonderful! Thank you for your kind words and for watching and subscribing, much appreciated!
A. Thank you for this video! After watching, I think I’m ready to incorporate moss poles into my indoor garden.
B. Those earrings are fabulous!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you! I love earrings. Check out some of my plant earring collection here: czcams.com/video/aDKSCcNd1xY/video.html
Great video!!! Love this
Thank you!!
Hello from the US! I just found your channel. You are phenomenal and your content is so very educational! I'd very much like to try making moss poles and see if I can train some of my pothos to grow larger leaves. In Mexico once, I saw pothos in their natural environment climbing up trees. The leaves were massive and some were even finistrated!! Off to watch all of your videos!! Also, for those who live in the US, I have heard great things about Liqui-Dirt and I am planning to use that in my moss poles. Please take this with a grain of salt as I am a complete moss pole noob but I thought it'd be helpful to offer an alternative. Happy housplanting!!
Thank 😊
Really cool ideas!
Oh my goodness! I am so glad that I have found you! You would not believe the many, many videos that I have watched over the past 6 months & I happened upon your videos and they have helped me tremendously! Thank you sooooo much! I have been having the worst luck with the monsters Delicioso & the monstera adonsonii ! But thanks to you I think that I have some hope & may be able to save them!
You certainly can. Check out my Deliciosa in the community tab.

Thank you 😊
Спасибо за все тонкости 😘
You are very welcome
Lovely plants .
Thank you for your kind words and for watching and subscribing, much appreciated!
After watching some of your videos I Hve now subscribed to your channel. You have the most healthy looking huge pothos I've ever seen and that's hiw I want mine to be. Currently on coir poles but I'm going to switch to the home made moss poles like what you use so then keeping on putting them in bigger pots won't be nessecery as theyv develop roots all throughout the moss pole also.
Thank you for your kind words and for watching and subscribing, much appreciated!
1st. Your skin is glowing. So beautiful! 2nd. Thank you so much for your vids. They are very very informative!
Thank you so much! What a lovely compliment. I am glad you id them useful.
Hi! Great watering tips. I use a plastic coke bottle. I used my soldering iron and burned holes in the lid so it doesn’t guzzle out on me when I flip it. Also, since I don’t have a pump sprayer, I found that I can spray the pole with it as well. Just point and squeeze. 😊
Great video thanks a lot. Wow what a big silver sword!! Your earrings are so nice! :) gonna see now the video about making the moss poles
Awesome! Thank you! Thank you for your kind words and for watching and subscribing, much appreciated!
If there was a super like button to hit this video would be my number one. I have watched countless plant videos and this is by far the best. Thank you so very much x
Wow, thank you! You are too kind and your words have really made my day!
Great advice on watering moss poles😌🤲💞I'm going to do that👍This weekend I'm going to make my first ever moss pole😁🙌
Have fun! It is great to hear! Please keep me posted.
@@TheLecaQueen Ok😁👍I will
Ohhhh....I leave the lids on my bottles but have 2 holes drilled in the lid so the water leaks in slowly. No spraying first and no bath towels needed.
I love watching you! You inspired me to use leca and now I have sacks of it hahahaaa x
So funny. I did the holes on the lid thing as well. Not sure why I stopped 😕 🤔 🤣😍
Beautiful. Just stumble upon your channel. Extremely beautiful 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much!
Hello dear , I absolutely love watching your video , again is great tips that will help , thank you and see you around
Thank you for your kind words and for watching and subscribing, much appreciated!
I love watching the water run down the moss, so I generally just use my watering can
Very smart watering methad
Thanks a lot
So am watching all of your moss pole videos. Getting closer. So off topic, what colour is that nail polish, love it
Omg what a sweetheart💚
Thank you for your kind words and for watching and subscribing, much appreciated!
Great idea 💡 I was just thinking the plants in soil, you could put a barrier between the bottom of the moss pole and the soil, like a plastic tube, to drain outside of the pot, to avoid the soil getting waterlogged.
Interesting idea!
Your plants are beautiful
Thank you so much 😊
Hi my friend u r like me. I love plants do videos like this. Love watching your videos. Because it’s so calming. Omg I love ur miss poles
Thank you for your kind words and for watching and subscribing, much appreciated!
Hello Nora. I've made a moss wall from your video. How do I water that as it would be too awkward to lift out of the leca? I really appreciate your advice. Thank you. You're amazing. I love learning from your videos ❤
Subscribed I liked the video
Thank you for your kind words and for watching and subscribing, much appreciated!
Thank you very much for your channel. By the way, love your earrings!
Glad you like them! I love plant earrings! Thank you for your kind words and for watching and subscribing, much appreciated!
@@TheLecaQueen You're welcome. You've inspired me to build a moss pole of my own, so I don't have to be jealous of your beautiful plants anymore ;-) I "inherited" my golden ivy from my Mom and it's about 45 years old. A real long time friend with whom I spent almost my entire life. Tha's so amazing!
Wow l'm going to get rid of the soil in all my house plants.And l will do it the same way you do.Thank you glad to find 👍 you and follow you.
Good luck! You can do it!
@@TheLecaQueen Thank you 😊
Hi Princess! What comes to my mind as I watch you are the Great minds of scientists of all types on the continent of what today is called Africa did and came up with successful systems of all types which are the basics of world wide systems of all types today. This Princess is what I do. Come up with methods for my plants that work and fit my lifestyle. If it fails, I have to go at it again because the life of my plants is at stake. Thank you and continue on Princess Scientist.
How interesting 😊
Thank you
Thank you so much. I learn so much from you on how to care for my monstera and care for it. Where can I get earrings like yours? They’re gorgeous!!
You are so welcome! Glad you like the earrings. Lots of people make and sell similar ones on Etsy.
Hello, love your channel! Thank you for your knowledge! I'm wondering if you could mention the nutrient value of the Foliar Focus that you use. It doesn't seem to be available locally in the US. Thank you Mary
Yes, absolutely, I will put it up in the community tab.
I’m so impressed by your videos it never occurred to me to make moss poles but they are gorgeous! In Perth and have many pothos types potted in soil so my main question is…how do you insert a moss pole into a potted soil plant? ❤️
Thank you for your kind words and for watching and subscribing, much appreciated! The question is at what stage are you looking to insert your pole? Tell me that and we can start talking.
@@TheLecaQueen I have different types of pothos I’ve propagated in water that now needs planting. So I thought I’d start from the beginning! I prefer terracotta but if you think a growers pot is best I have many…Bunnings is my second home 😉
I just found your channel and I'm so glad I did. Love your tutorial with, how to make, care and watering the moss pole. Question...what's the main reason for moss pole and leca? I will tune in for more of your amazing contents. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you for your kind words and for watching and subscribing, much appreciated! May you please clarify your question? I would love to respond but I am not sure what you mean. Thanks

that silver sword is BEAUTIFULLLLL
Thank you 😊
@Roots_Leaves_Reads you’re an awesome teache🙌🏽
Thank you 😊 💓.
Do you have any guidance on when you prefer a round moss pole versus a moss pole with a plastic back? Are there certain plants that do better growing around a pole instead of growing straight up? Thank you so much! I really enjoy your videos!
Thank you for your kind words and for watching and subscribing, much appreciated! I do not have a preference as to when I use what pole. I guess sometimes if I want the pole to look fancy I use the plastic sheet backing. It also depends on how lazy I am feeling. Making the plastic sheet backing one takes longer 😂😉😉.
I like this set up. Does anyone know what size container?
Lovely video!!! So informative and you radiate all the good vibes ! I’m very interested in buying the solution you showed. Sadly, I’m in the USA and cannot find it here. Where could I find it that can ship to the USA or what’s the next best thing you would recommend ? Thank you so much in advance !
Glad it was helpful! People in the US use the General Hydroponics range alot. I have no experience with it though.
Hi; i am new to your channel and i love all your videos. i am interested in changing my plants to leca..how much water do you put in a resevoir for a plant to sit in? thank you so much and keep these videos coming.
Thank you for your kind words and for watching and subscribing, much appreciated! Check out my video on the basics of leca that shows how much nutrient I use. I am doing a series on all things leca so watch out for it.
czcams.com/video/CMQ2Q2K35ns/video.html
Such a job! But it’s totally worth it)
Want to try my silver sword on the pole as well- not doing great on a bamboo stick…
Go for it! It is worth it!
Nice earrings! Your plants look really healthy!
Thank you for your kind words and for watching and subscribing, much appreciated! I think my plants are healthy 😁.
Hi there I just found ur channel and absolutely love it. I wanted to ask so are u watering the pole the same time as when u water the whole plant (in leca) or are u watering the pole whenever it’s dried up in between watering schedule. Do we not let the pole dry and have to keep it constantly moist? Thank you I hope it makes sense ahah
I wonder the same thing ! Good question
May I also ask what kind of water sprayer you have here ? You have gained a follower ! I’m learning so much ! ❤️
Thank you for your kind words and for watching and subscribing, much appreciated! I use a sprayer like this one:

Good morning from my country, the USA! Today I had my coffee watching you!!! Nice!
( I just discovered you yesterday!!) Please I have a question, what kind of moss do you prefer for your plants? Thank you! Blessings in your day!
Having watched quite a few videos from Nora now, I can tell you that she uses exclusively sphagnum moss.
Thank you for responding.
I use spagnum moss but really you can use anything that can act as a growth medium including leca, potting mix, anything.
Thank you to both of you for responding to me. Blessings in your day!
Hi! I just found you today! I can’t tell you how excited I am! Thank you for all your hard work in sharing your knowledge with us! My questions are, do you share a link on your moss poles? Also, do you wrap your poles with with chicken wire? Or do they come that way? Thank you 🥰
You are so welcome! Please find my videos onhow I make my poles here. They will answer all your questions
czcams.com/play/PLjZ0p9mB4l9f8DHEyhKuEPfRNFCIfTI6Z.html
Fantastic,love your photos.
Interesting, I did a little experiment that might interest other leca fans. I've got a large jar full of leca, and it's just semi hydro in there. The pole is moss all the way down and dips an inch or 2 into the jar. To avoid having it soaking I keep the water level well below the pole. It's staying moist, just one of the many ways to water.
Thank you, could you please explain this in greater detail, it sounds interesting.
@@TheLecaQueen it's a small pole around 1.5" by 10" tall. It's not really at all wet it's just damp all the way to the top.
Hi, thank you, very informative video. I use a larger form of PON. Never tried to combine a moos pole with semi hydro, because of organic matter falling in my semi hydro substrate. What do you do to make sure you don't get root rod? thank you, and greetings from Switzerland
Glad it was helpful! I have just the playlist to answer your question about using a moss pole in semi hydro. It is about how you make and position the pole. Check it out here: Putting leca plants on moss pole: czcams.com/play/PLjZ0p9mB4l9einP6Lvz0oDHaztA9Q41mg.html
I have a question regarding how do you keep the poles standing up straight when they are so large. I would think the pot would tip over with all the top weight. I am wanting to start a few of my plants with a moss pole while they are small but I'm concerned about what happens as they get big. I'll re-watch your moss pole videos. But this question is always on my mind.
Thank you for your kind words and for watching and subscribing, much appreciated! Check out this video that explains how I keep my poles from falling. czcams.com/video/Cy1SlG8qvK4/video.html
Won't the liquid solution eventually goes down to the roots of the plant and causes root rot? Just asking??? Love your videos
New to propagating and planting. I have quite a few plants now and would love to try this Moss pole system. What type of moss do you use or recommend?
Thank you for your kind words and for watching and subscribing, much appreciated! I use sphagnum moss.
Have you tried to grow a Jade plant in leca? If so, please advise me on how to proceed with this process, thank you so much 💗
Not yet! I probably will not only because I have limited space. I would treat the transfer like I do with my ZZ plnts. Check out the video here and let me know how you go. czcams.com/video/ZGV6flT0Wzg/video.html
can you do a video were u talk about the leca solutions what kind you use n how to use it
Most certainly, that is in the works.
The leca were to buy it thank you😍
Hi, I would to know the roots of the plant sit under the pole in the pot or at the side of the pot , ai not too much water get into the roots ? Thks
I use long strand NZ sphagnum moss for my orchids. Can I use any other type of sphagnum moss? Long strand NZ sphagnum isn't cheap.
I’m trying to order the Growth technology Foliage Focus. Amazon site only seems to have Australia as the choice for one’s region.🙃

Wow the size of your pots are insane compared to what I have 😱😱
Insane indeed!
Love those earrings!
Thank you!!
I want to know how to DIY a moss pole like yours.
Thank you, see how I make my poles here
czcams.com/play/PLjZ0p9mB4l9f8DHEyhKuEPfRNFCIfTI6Z.html
Do you have any experience with molding moss?
I just spotted some mold growth on my pole and I don’t know what to do now.
Thanks a lot!
I have not had any mold on any of mypoles. If I did I would use Hyrdogen Peroxide to get rid of it.
I love your earrings!
Thank you 😊
Would gnats not breed in the moss poles ?
Hey! If you’re just starting to train a plant on a moss pole and no roots have grown into the moss yet, should you still only water the pole or should you water both the pole AND soil? Thanks :)
Yes and yes. The moss needs to be moist for the aerial roots to grow into.
could superthrive work as your “nutrient solution”? or are you referring to something more like a complete macronutrient fertilizer?
Definitely a complete nutrient. Optimised and pH buffered.
Question: I just started Leca & just put up my 1st 3 plants on short moss poles. I am lazy...i purchased moss poles vs making my own. I also purchased a sprayer. It does not appear that the store bought poles would do well with the upside down watering thru the middle hole. any suggestions on how to make my store bought moss poles work??? thank you.
Hello Dolly, I have answered your question in the Q & A video found here: czcams.com/video/q3hVcXb_tug/video.html
another question what do you do when u get algae in the pole be cool if you would make a video on that no one has one on what they do when they get algae
Okay will do !
Hi Leca Queen, I have been trying to keep my moss pole moist, however due to this the soil in the pot is constantly getting more water clogged and now has a gnat infestation. Please could you advise what to do? Thanks
I have some fabulous moss pole Q & A videos out next week and we discuss this, please watch them for an answer. Thanks
Sorry to bug! But do you think that it is better to grow Monstera in Leca? It looks healthier….
No trouble at all. I am a bit biased here as I think it is better to grow all plants in leca 😂😁. Checkout my Monstera in leca in the community tab.
I’d love to make moss pole for my aroids too but I have 100+ of them so I give up and just use coco coir pole 😫
What nutrient solution do you you use for the Monstera?
I use the same nutrients for all my plants. Growth Technology Foliage Focus. Check the community tab for details.
Where do get your moss poles?
What brand of sprayer do you use?
