Moss Poles & Monstera deliciosa - How to Use them (2023)

  • Опубликовано: 17 сен 2021
  • Something that has been flooding the plant world in the last 18 months is using Moss Poles as a support mechanism for various houseplants. The idea behind the moss pole is to provide your climbing houseplants something to climb up.
    Monstera deliciosa is one of the most popular indoor plants that can be successfully grown using a moss pole. Other favorites include Philodendron Pink Princess, Peru Monstera, Min Monstera, and tons of other Aroids.
    These plants naturally climb in the wild and by giving them something to climb up you are giving them an environment more closely related to what they want, and as such they will often produce larger leaves in the process.
    I have used both bamboo stakes and moss poles with Monstera deliciosa and have concluded that I prefer to use the Moss Pole because it creates a cleaner appearance in the home.

    FYI, with the setup shown in the video, all the tension of the string is concentrated at one spot on each petiole/stem - over time it might cut into the plant. Wider garden velcro would help spread out the force. Or multiple loops around each petiole/stem that is being re-positioned.

    Nice video. If you have a local garden shop 'boutique' that sells monstera, they most likely sell moss poles. My local shop makes their own. I was told that some people like to spray the moss with water because the moisture encourages the plant to grow tall (up the pole).

    So where did you find a moss pole. Don’t believe I’ve ever seen one for sale. I would think the string would cut into your plant. I would use a small rectangle piece of leather with holes on each end and tie the string in the holes to the pole. Give the plant more of a surface area where the string couldn’t cut into the stalk.

    • @plantvibrations
      @plantvibrations  2 года назад

      I found it at a local nursery actually. And it’s true if you don’t move the string around it can eventually cut into the stems. I have started opting for tape lately. But I love you method!

    I'm so confused... why are you using a moss pole just to display the foliage? A steak of any kind would have worked and cheaper. Moss poles are meant to be an "extension" of your pot, giving climbing plants like airroids something to root into and grow up and produce bigger leaves.
