Prepping & Planning For Winter Vlog

Moving day! The time of year has come when I prep my larger palm trees to be picked up and moved into a greenhouse for their winter storage. I pulled the tropical plants and houseplants out from the bases of the pots and potted them up into smaller pots. The alocasia, cordyline fruticosa and colocasia will do better in my winter grow room than in the greenhouse where they will be heavily shaded by the larger palm trees. I will be storing all of the caldiums I pulled separately in a ventilated box with a lot of perlite. During this video there were multiple trips to Lowes Home Improvement where I grabbed supplies and searched for pottery to use so I can repot my foxtail palm. After finishing up with repotting the houseplants I gave a quick look at my front porch pots with the banana trees and Alocasia frydeks and then went to the backyard to talk about my montsera. This plant is a massive variegated monstera and it is in need of another repotting. I just repotted it in the winter but has already outgrown that pot. I’m going to make the support pole with either coconut fiber or spray foam, I’d rather not use moss since I know it will just get demolished by squirrels when the plant is outside. What do you think, coconut fiber or foam? I think the plant will adhere itself much better to fiber, but foam would look better and would give less hiding places to bugs and pest.
