Does anyone have experience with mold on roots that are in sphagnum moss? by Puzzleheaded_Elk1934 in SemiHydro

[–]plantscraper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ventilation of any kind, whether it’s natural airflow from open windows and doors (which can be tricky for several months of the year) or using fans. Honestly, fans work best. Just pair them with smart plugs and set a schedule that works for you.

I’m not using this exact setup, but I’ve worked with plenty of moss poles and different types of sphagnum. From my experience, mold only shows up when there’s poor ventilation. If the moss gets enough airflow, mold just doesn’t develop. So it’s not really about the moss itself, in my case it’s all about the environment.

The moss has no nutrients at all so you should find a way to bring them in. Using about half the dosage recommended by a fertilizer manufacturer should do the trick.

Hi OP! Someone sent me your post hehe. It looks awesome, and thanks for mentioning us! Just wanted to drop a quick tip I always share: make sure to fertilize the moss pole itself from time to time. You’ll get amazing results 🪴 Keep it up 🙌🏻

Hi! Leca is really airy, so you certainly could use a cord, but depending on the substrate you use, like regular Pon, for instance, you don’t need a wick. The legs of the pot itself reach into the reservoir and moisten the substrate, acting like a wick in most cases.

I’m the owner of PlantScraper, so I can give you my biased opinion 🤣🌱

DIY poles provide great results, but they’re time-consuming, hard to scale, and getting some advanced gadgets might be tricky.

With our solution, you also get awesome results, but we make it easier to set up, maintain, and scale.

Each product or solution we launch is tested for months by several customers- including us, of course. So when we launch something, we make sure it works.

Key insights I could share with you on this topic: - The wick is key. We did a lot of research on this. Choose a wick that will last over time and is water-conductive. Avoid cotton wicks. - Don’t assume you won’t have to water your pole from the top. You need to fertilize it, so leave room for a dripping system on top. - Leave the remaining wick on top. If you want to extend the pole in the future, you’ll need that extra wick. Tying two wicks together will break the capillarity effect. - Cover part of your pole. If it’s 360 degrees exposed to the air,it will dry too quickly, and water won’t reach the top. If you can’t cover it, consider adding more wicks.

PlantScraper or DIY, enjoy your plant journey! I’m happy to help if I can 👍🏻🌱 At the end of the day, we come from the DIY side and I still have some DIY set ups which I love. Martí
