Honestly, the idea of a vertical indoor jungle is just as appealing to your tropical plants as it is to you and me (and trust me, that’s a lot). So many of the exotic houseplants we know, and love can really benefit from having something to attach to and climb up. Bigger leaves, stronger fenestrations, healthier plants – the list goes on. In fact, some species require it in order to mature. Without tree trunks in the home, moss poles are the next best thing. They’re a simple, versatile, and effective means to support your tropical climbers and unruly growers alike. Benefits of a Moss Pole: They provide support for epiphytic plants to grow upwards. The aerial roots of vining species can easily attach to the fibrous material, securing the plant and encouraging its growth. They can supply moisture to the plant. Coco chips poles are always made with a water-retentive material, so watering/spraying the pole will allow it to store some moisture for the plants’ aerial roots to access. They often help plants progress through to maturity. Taller plants think they’re closer to the sunlight at the top of the rainforest canopy and make changes to capitalize on that. Potentially leading to larger plants, larger leaves, fenestrations, and more. They’re a space-efficient solution. I get it; we’re all low on counter space for new plants, but climbing plants can be trained to occupy vertical space instead of horizontal. They can make unruly plants look really good. We’ve all got that one vining species that looks like all stem and no foliage sometimes. Integrating the stem of the plant with the central pole visually removes the stem and highlights the foliage. You can increase the shape of the plant to increase the density of the foliage. By wrapping the plant around a moss pole, you’re able to effectively bring leaves closer together – shaping the plants’ foliage as you see fit. Though our Rhaphidophora tetrasperma here has such a thick/stiff stem, it’s not easy to wrap around the pole.
