Thank you for the detailed explantion. The shields on my fern grew away from the moss ball on my first try. Didn't know there was a correct orientation and it turns out that the bud was was at a 4oclock position instead of 12oclock. So I carefully unrolled the 5 layers of sheild fronds and remounted. I'm still waiting to see if new fronds will now form to the shap of the mossball. Off subject: The design on your tshirt is🔥! I like

@cajbrg Год назад

Thanks for this informative video. Do You also have some kind of overview which plants need what kind of "shape moseball", or core medium. I heard Ball scape: Ridleyi, or in pumice (dryer) for Ridleyi or Veichii? I hear you're counting, is there a reason? Do you also have some kind of "resource" with pictures and information of this special plants? But thanks, for this video!

@aloneinoasis Год назад

Hello! Thanks for your questions. Yes, I always ensure the matured plant before mounting them on board. But in general, all the staghorn can be mounted in a round shape moss ball. But some prefer to mount it on a more flat surface. You can actually join some facebook staghorn community groups or search the hashtag on Instagram to get to know more about the species and the matured looking platycerium too.

@iannesmith4522 Год назад

I would love to see any guides you could make on care for Jade Girl / Bacteria! I’m importing one soon and there is little to no info online about their specific care! This is a super helpful video

@aloneinoasis Год назад

Sure thing! If I have one of those you mentioned LOL!! I do not give advice or guides that I've no experience in growing the plant before. I strongly believe in empirical knowledge. Hope you understand !! Thank you!

@becoming_a_betty Год назад

Thank you for a really detailed video...its like watching an artist at work. Such attention to detail! 😊 The frog is beautiful 🐸 I'm hoping it doesn't live in the bowl? It must be so frustrating for it not to be able to hop around 😢. xx

Thank you so much 😀!!! The frog is living in another enclosure. The bowl is only for video shooting purposes. =)

@meganpahl2160 Год назад

Could you please tell me how to hang a large green as one piece? Multiple pups with the new growth all facing different directions. I want to take this staghorn out of dirt and mount it but am afraid to put it upside down. Do I have to separate all pups and place them the correct direction or can I just put it on the board?

@aloneinoasis Год назад

Hello, you can leave them there as you like. Some prefer to grow them in clump form. Even in nature, this is the way they grow.

@Deadwildmeat Год назад

Do you seal or waterproof the board you’re using to mouont the plant? In other videos they make this point very important but if you use driftwood it is also sealed? Sorry, and thank!

@aloneinoasis Год назад

Thank you for your comment! I do not seal or waterproof the board. Usually, the wood that I used for my platy is cut directly from natural wood without much process. But for certain wood, such as rengas and balao wood, I believe the carpenter already applies a layer of substance for protection. He told me that the substance will not harm the plant. (Not sure about the substance name). =)

@plt1969 10 месяцев назад

Use coconut oil to seal your board it's natural and works

@triningo 3 месяца назад

Thank you for the great tips. How do I water it?

@aloneinoasis 3 месяца назад

You can submerge the plant into a bucket of water. It is easy

@markvaldes2937 6 месяцев назад

What do you think about mounting on cork bark? I feel like I don't see many serious growers do that

@aloneinoasis 6 месяцев назад

Hey! Thanks for the comment. Yes, I mounted mine in cork bark too, but only for my collective staghorn. For others, the plank is the easiest way to maintain and grow.

@eatcitrus Год назад

What are the black mesh plastic mounting boards you use on your P. wandae?

@aloneinoasis Год назад

Hey! Thanks for commenting. The mesh is to secure the bottom part of the plant to prevent too much moss falling apart.

@fshoji1527 11 месяцев назад

do you have to remove the wiring and line before the plant starts to cover it?

@aloneinoasis 11 месяцев назад

Hello! I did not remove the wiring and the line. I'll just replenish them with moss to cover up, removing them might damage the root system too.

@adictaalasorquideas Год назад

❤❤❤😊

@markvaldes2937 2 месяца назад

Another question, after making a round moss ball and securing with fishing line. I feel like the moss always feels hard, even after soaking. Is it possible I made the moss too compact during mounting, and is it a problem if it is?

@aloneinoasis 2 месяца назад

Yes, being too compact with pure moss is also a problem too. That's why I always use chunky media in the core to ensure good aeration. Make sure to soak it longer to let the moss fully absorb the moisture.

@plantguy285 6 месяцев назад

I know this was actually kinda long ago but, what soil should i use for my platy until its mature? (pls respond)

@aloneinoasis 6 месяцев назад

Hey! We usually advise using Moss or coconut husks, not soil. soil would be too compacted that it suffocates the root system. Platycerium are epiphyte plants.

@plantguy285 6 месяцев назад

Just switched them to moss! TYSM for the advice!!

@eliatravaglini9465 8 месяцев назад

I'm sorry, but i didn't understand how to identify the polarity of the plant. Someone can explain?

@aloneinoasis 8 месяцев назад

The frond “bud” which is green should face up. That’s the correct orientation.

@mommafeets 13 дней назад

He was referring to the rhizome being on top and that’s where the new growth will be so that’s top

@peterho71 Месяц назад

How to mount if the shield is big. I'm not sure what type of staghorn fern I have. I will try to upload pic in morning.

@aloneinoasis Месяц назад

You can make sure to create a huge moss ball that match the shield fond. Or you can cut them away, it's fine.

@damirmonster2203 Месяц назад

Which wood did you use? I can't find any cedar wood

@aloneinoasis Месяц назад

Hello, I use balao wood. It's abundant in where we live

@moomoon1410 7 месяцев назад

Please what could replace moss in such procedure?

@aloneinoasis 7 месяцев назад

Hello, Some people would just use Coco husks solely. But you will have to water the plant more frequently than usual.

@moomoon1410 7 месяцев назад

@MrSonoru 3 месяца назад

A few questions; 1. Can I just use some sort of plastic board to mount the platycerium? Or is there a reason against that? 2. How young is too young in terms of mounting a Platycerium? 3. How big should a board be? Is there a general rule you follow?

@aloneinoasis 3 месяца назад

1) Yes, it is up to you. Plastic is more robust too. 2) Too young means, the fertile frond and shiled frond is not more than the size of palm. 3) We always make sure the board is big enough to support the plant. Only make sure the moss size is compatible with the plant.

@freeradicalsmagazine2316 Год назад
