Sphagnum Moss Pole for Indoor Plants, Monstera Moss Pole, Plant Pole Made in USA - Ideal for Climbing Plants, Enhances Plant Growth & Stability - 12" Height

This is my first time using a moss pole or trellis on a pothos or other vining plant. I've owned pothos and silver pothos for years, but just let them cascade down my bookshelves.I recently had to move my silver pothos to a lower position, and didn't like it trailing onto the floor, so I started looking into poles and trellises.This one had decent reviews and was a good price, so I figured I would try it. The pole came in very well secured in a plastic bag (a little TOO well secured). I had to fight a bit then finally got the scissors.The pins were in a little tan envelope, tucked in a small ziploc bag, towards the bottom. Very easy to overlook if you wasn't looking for them.Some of the reviews said the moss was held in place by a green mesh, so I had resigned myself to having to overlook that. To my pleasant surprise, the mesh on mine was black and unobtrusive.The moss was dry and there were a lot of crumbly stuff at the bottom of the bag that I poured out, but the rest of the moss seemed secure.I followed the suggestion of another reviewer and filled the bag with water to saturate it. This worked out well.I feel the height and diameter are of good size; it comfortably fits most of my vines, with plenty of room to spare. But the one complaint I have is that they definitely could have added more pins. I could only pin about 2/3 of my plant, and not as securely as I would like.You can thankfully buy them separately, but it would have been nice to have at least a few more. They provide 7, I think 10 would have been a bit better, but that's just my opinion and a minor quibble.I also like that you can add more height if needed; they have a add-on you can get if you plant outgrows your pole or, as in my case, you misjudge how tall of a pole you need. All in all, a good 1st experiment. It's not complicated. You stick it in the soil, and start pinning. Easy peasy. I love how tidy it now looks, and might get one for a monstera I just bought.

This moss pole/totem works well with my large Split Leaf (cheese Cake) Philodendron plant. Very easy to insert in the soil. Now I had a time with the attachment pieces, there are seven I think, that are used to help hold stems to the pole. My plant kept pulling out, may be due to it's size and weight. The attachment pieces for the most part just didn't seem able to hold their own and pulled away from the pole, all but two. That's a simple fix with plant twist ties.All in all though I'm very pleased with this pole and it is working to help keep my unruly plant in a more upright position. A good size far as diameter and easy to get in the soil.

I used this on my pink princesses. But not sure how to keep it moist for my plant. I will see if I need more for my monsteras.

This is great for holding up my huge diffenbacia plant. I did soak it initially only to keep the dust down because my diffenbacia doesn’t put out roots along the stem but it would definitely be a plus if you have that type of plant. I can’t remember what size mine is but it measures 24” from dirt to top. See photo above. Would purchase again definitely.

I bought the 30" totem pole and 12" extension for my Giant Pothos plant. There was a packing error and only the 30" pole arrived. I emailed customer service and they replied in less than 60 minutes saying a replacement 12" extension was shipping to me that same day.I've already set up the 30" pole. It is sturdy, attractive, and it's easy to see how the extension will fit onto it. I did not use the enclosed pins to attach the plant to the pole as I prefer using garden twine, and this way can reserve the pins to reinforce the extension once it arrives.Overall this is a product I would recommend.

So compact you can’t keep it wet

This is great for my smaller Monstera Peru. It came with the moss already inside and pins to help fasten your plant to it. Easy to soak. I got the 12” to start with and it’s a great size. Will be easy to add to the top if this continue to grow upwards. Very happy.

Thanks to this item I was able to raise up my plant and allow it to stand above the dirt. It lets the leaves get more sunlight and they are growing some leaves are as big as my palm. I ordered several more. Wish it came in different heights.
