"I used to DIY my own moss poles—messy and time consuming. The leafy moss pole changed everything. They’re easy to set up, support aerial roots just like my handmade ones, and look so clean and natural. My plants are growing bigger and healthier, and I couldn’t be happier!"

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Plants is the Leafy Moss Pole Suitable For?
The Leafy Moss Pole is perfect for a wide variety of climbing and vining plants that naturally grow upward. It’s ideal for plants such as Monstera, Pothos, Philodendron, and Syngoniums, providing the essential support and hydration they need to thrive and reach maturity.
Can you extend the pole once the plant reaches the top?
Yes, all Leafy Moss Poles are extendable by using the same size poles.
For
Moss Pole 2.0:
Simply slide a new extension pole into the inner part of the
existing pole.
Overlap around 7–10 cm to ensure good stability.
For
Moss Pole 3.0:
Slide a new pole over the existing one for a secure and seamless
extension.
What substrates can you use to fill the poles?
The most common substrate for both Moss Pole 2.0
and Moss Pole 3.0 is sphagnum moss.
For
Moss Pole 2.0:
Thanks to the smaller cutout holes, you can also use materials like bark,
coco chips, tree fern fiber, or aroid mix.
For
Moss Pole 3.0:
Best suited for sphagnum moss due to its larger, open design.
How to secure plants to the moss pole ?
For
Moss Pole 2.0:
Use a clip or plant tie to secure your plant to the pole
while it grows.
For
Moss Pole 3.0:
It features built-in horizontal tabs that act like plant ties.
These tabs make it easy to stabilize your plant directly onto the pole.
As the plant’s aerial roots develop, they’ll naturally anchor themselves,
but the tabs help keep everything secure in the meantime.
How to water the moss poles?
1. Quick Daily Spritz:
Grab your spray bottle and give the pole a light mist. This helps keep the moss damp between full waterings — super simple!
2. The Upside-Down Bottle Trick:
Take an empty bottle that fits your pole, poke a few small holes in the lid (using a drill or soldering iron), and place it upside down at the top of the pole.
The moss will slowly soak up the water, keeping it moist for longer. Depending on your pole size, you might want to use more than one bottle.
Pro Tip:
If the top of the moss pole is dry, drizzle a little water first to help it absorb better and prevent water from rushing through.
Adding a bit of fertilizer to the water also boosts your plant’s growth, since moss itself doesn’t provide nutrients!
3. Full Shower Soak (For Dry Days):
When things get really dry — especially in summer — give the whole plant (and pole) a good soak in the shower.
It rehydrates the moss thoroughly from top to bottom.
Pro Tip:
This method also washes dust off the leaves and clears away mineral build-up in the moss and soil.
Just make sure the excess water drains properly before you move the plant back to its spot!
