Moss poles are generally kept slightly moist to encourage aerial plant roots to secure themselves into the pole. Either re-pot it with a taller moss pole or use a stackable moss pole system so the pole can be extended without repotting the plant. Repotting is the perfect time to add a moss pole to a houseplant. While some moss poles have pointy ends that can poke right into the root ball, moss poles are most sturdy when secured right down to the bottom of the pot.Īdding the moss pole during repotting helps to ensure the pole is placed at the bottom of the pot, making it less likely to wobble. Moss poles for plants are most easily installed into empty planter pots before a plant’s root ball is placed in the planter. These plants climb up toward the sky to catch more sunlight as it enters the dense canopy. Often these are understory tropical vines with aerial roots and glossy dark green leaves. Moss poles work best with plants that climb tree trunks or other plants in their natural habitat. A moss pole is a plant stake that incorporates loose plant fiber, allowing for vining houseplants to easily attach their stems to the pole.
