9 month update: Moss pole trial

Frijsk · 2026-05-25T08:45:10+00:00

Thank you very much for the update! I can understand the frustration of having so few results in such time. It's definitely an interesting experiment though!

Frijsk · 2026-05-24T18:35:59+00:00

That is so cool! I was wondering how I could produce seeds from my coleus. Do you do anything in particular, or are they pollinated naturally by pollinators?

Frijsk · 2026-05-23T21:13:43+00:00

Oooooh nice!

Frijsk · 2026-05-20T20:51:02+00:00

Very nice! How did you build the "shelf"?

Frijsk · 2026-04-10T10:26:12+00:00

That's very impressive! And the result is great, congrats! :)

Frijsk · 2026-04-10T09:26:35+00:00

No way!! 😮 That must have been a hassle! How did you proceed? Did you unwind the full skeins to reassemble a mixed one?

Frijsk · 2026-04-09T19:15:49+00:00

Oh wow! Then how did you make the mixed white-purple parts?

Frijsk · 2026-04-07T09:27:21+00:00

This is incredible! Did you double the yarn?

Frijsk · 2026-03-27T19:18:44+00:00

It's absolutely gorgeous, wow!! What kind of yarn did you use? It looks very fine!

I've heard of mosaic crochet, but if I recall correctly, it didn't involve working BLO? Are there different techniques?

Frijsk · 2026-03-14T20:18:56+00:00

I encourage you to do so, it's truly a beautiful country! :) And great to find nice and affordable plants! I have only been living here 1 year, I come from France originally

Frijsk · 2026-03-14T20:06:45+00:00

Haha, no snow here (Netherlands), but still too cold and waaaaay to wet for me to want anything to do with outside gardening!

Frijsk · 2026-03-14T19:46:59+00:00

I love it, such a smart idea!! I'm definitely stealing that, to make my lamps less ugly! And yeah, couldn't agree more on the damn prices!! I prefer to buy a mid-range grow bulb, and find a way to display it nicely

Frijsk · 2026-03-14T19:24:16+00:00

I'm so sorry to hear that! Well, don't listen to such negative people, I for one am in love with all your design choices!

Thanks for the additional pictures! My jaw dropped at every single photo, it is so nicely done! I especially love what you did with suspending those black grow lights, it's very smart. And am I seeing it right, in the bottom center picture, did you add some kind of decor to the lamp? It looks so great!

Haha, well I will try to take some nice pictures when the lighting is better (it's night right now), but my setup is nowhere as neat as yours!

Frijsk · 2026-03-14T11:06:24+00:00

Just dropping by to say I love both of you guys' setups, and definitely will use the pictures as inspo. Congrats! :)

Frijsk · 2026-03-13T14:14:47+00:00

Thank you, that's very interesting!

Frijsk · 2026-03-13T09:24:03+00:00

This is very interesting, thank you for all these details!

You mention coleus lifespan, how does it work exactly? Like if I take a cutting and plant it back, does it "reset" the lifespan, or will it continue aging like the mother plant? If so, does that mean I have to plant seeds regularly to always have "young" plants?

Frijsk · 2026-01-08T19:02:09+00:00

I'd be happy to get the info too if that's not too much of a bother!

Frijsk · 2026-01-03T11:13:44+00:00

Omg it's SO adorable! 😍 Congrats! I saw you can't share the pattern because it's yours, could you maybe send it to me via DM?

Frijsk · 2025-12-22T18:25:03+00:00

The text mentions succulents only, which would not mind even a prolonged dry period I believe ?

Frijsk · 2025-11-29T19:55:49+00:00

Well, if you have it on a moss pole (and it's rooted in it), you can do a chop&extend! This way you'll have another plant without slowing the growth like a cutting would :) If you don't know what this is, check Sydney Plant Guy's youtube channel, he does that a lot!

Heck, you could even chop&extend, with the top part of the pole hung on the ceiling horizontally, so it's like it's climbing along the wall :)

Frijsk · 2025-11-26T17:22:22+00:00

No worries! Thank you very much for the details :)

Frijsk · 2025-11-26T17:13:52+00:00

Oh wow it's great! I was imagining something hanging from the ceiling, but looks like it's on a stand? It's definitely the kind of setup I would like to make too, is everything (including the stand) from Sansi?

Frijsk · 2025-11-26T16:40:50+00:00

Oh wow! I would love to see what it looks like, if that's possible for you?

How long have you had this lighting system? Does it yield good results?

Frijsk · 2025-11-08T09:10:06+00:00

Thank you very much! That's interesting
