  • In this video I show my method of mounting houseplants that I use at the plant store where I work - Urban Jungle in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Thanks for watching!
    Supplies needed:
    • Cork bark / rot resistant wood
    • Epiphytic houseplant (Hoya, Fern, Epiphyllum, Rhipsalis, Bromeliads...)
    • Sphagnum moss
    • Preserved sheet moss (optional)
    • Fishing line
    • Malleable wire (Bonsai or Florists Wire works great)
    • Scissors / wire cutters
    • Drill / hammer (to create hole for hanging wire)

    I have staghorns busting out of pots I really need to do this with! Thanks Nick!

    I really liked your demonstration . It looks pretty simple to do and I like the use of sheet moss to finish it off. I think that will also help hold in moisture as well. I want to mount some bromeliads and ferns on my patio wall to save space and add interest , and this technique will give me some versatility .

    Hi Nick, I have never heard of this technique before- and I LOVE IT! ❤️ I’m a total outdoor food grower (veggies, berries, grafting fruit trees). Houseplants have never been a favorite of mine, having only a few. THIS looks amazing to me- with all the outdoor elements look to it- I totally want to go for it and cover my walls! I just love these mounting videos you make! Thank you for sharing your ideas and talents with us! 🌱🌟

    Great video! Do you put anything behind it to protect the wall from moisture from the plant? I know when you take it down to water it well and let it dry before putting it back up, but I’m concerned there will still be moisture in the wood…any tips about protecting the wall? Thanks!

  • @verndelgado
    @verndelgado Před 4 lety +5

    Gorgeous! Nick, I purchased a small Japanese birds nest fern that was mounted on a board and I think I didn’t water it enough. If the leaves are still green but feel dry and, sadly, bordering on crunchy, is my plant dead or can I revive it? It’s in a hallway with far indirect light in NYC. Thanks for any info (if not you, any other gardeners reading this).
