EOX 4 Pcs 24 Inch Plastic Moss Pole for Monstera, Large D Shaped Poles for Climbing Plants Work with Sphagnum Moss, 90 Inch Plant Stake Set of 4, Garden Ties

I love this! I've been thinking of bulding my own since I bought these because they work so well! I put my albo monstera in with some leca and it's ariel roots are loving it! It is incredibly sturdy and doesn't move once you have it in place.It's long enough where you shouldn't have to extend it for a long while once you install it and it was so easy to put together.It can be used for so many plants with so many mediums and I'm so excited to try it out on everything.

The media could not be loaded. UPDATE: They have since removed the plastic wrap on these poles, so there is no longer a need to peel that off before using (not that I ever did to begin with lol). Although It is nice to see that they are no longer producing extra unneeded plastic waste. I would still like to see the clips improved, but I think these poles have earned the five stars irregardless. I can say with 100% certainty that I wouldn’t purchase a different pole for my plants currently. These are cost effective and work just the same as the bigger brand name plastic poles.I see some reviews inquiring about extending the poles. You don’t need holes to zip tie the new pole onto the old one (but even if you feel that you do, grab a pair of scissors and make it happen then). All you need to do is simply slip the bottom of the new pole into the top of the old pole. Make sure you have plenty of moss filling the area where the two poles are connecting. You don’t want a gap in your moss, this will cause uneven watering and can eventually cause root rot. You want to make sure these poles are packed with moss so they water evenly and you can clearly see where the pole is wet and where it is dry. However, you do not want to pack these poles so tightly that your roots cannot breathe or move. That will defeat the purpose of using a moss pole. Remember, these are aerial roots that are attaching and growing into these poles. They need oxygen (hence the name). Once you have extended the pole you will need a garden stake, that’s not negotiable. I recommend plastic garden stakes as they don’t rot like wood. Slip it into the back of your pole and push it all the way down until it’s in the pot. I wouldn’t recommend extending these poles past three sections. At that point it’s time to do a chop and extend. If you don’t know what a chop and extend is then head over to Sydney Plant Guy on YouTube and get ready for the ultimate moss pole guide.—————————————————————As you can see from my video and picture this product definitely serves its main purpose. That being said, I think there is some room for improvement. The plastic covers on the poles are very annoying to remove and I’m not quite sure what purpose they serve (I have actually left the plastic on all of mine because I couldn’t be bothered with removing it- so far no issues). The clips for the back can be pretty annoying to secure and I think the design for them could be improved. Other than that it’s a good product.Side note- if you’re having stability issues it’s important to remember this is a plastic pole. You cannot expect this product to provide 100% stability for very large plants- you’ll need to add a garden stake for that. But if your plant is around the size of mine and you’re having stability issues then you aren’t using it correctly.

So far so good. Follow the directions before all else and it will work out fine.Order more velcro .. the amount that comes with it doesn't seem to enough to the amount of poles that come with the kit.

They work amazing and came rolled up nicely. moss needs to be bought separately for those wondering. holds the moss very well especially when packed down.

I am going to be so upset if these stop being made because me and my plants are obsessed with them!They are so easy to assemble, easy to modify, and so easy to extend!Yes, they are a sheet of plastic, but once assembled they are a half circle and very sturdy, especially after filling with moss!I love that they’re clear so they’re not distracting from the plant’s beauty.Using them is so super simple. You fold over on the lines, then You put the tabs in the slots and make sure they click. And done.What I do is I begin in my pot with a layer of soil, then I put my pole in. I fill the pole up to the same level the soil will go on the pot, plant my plant in. Then fill the pole with sphagnum moss.I wait until the end to fill because I want to put in the perfect amount of moss. If I use the entire length of the pole, I only fill to a little bit above where the plant will need it. I add more as needed.I talked about how they’re easy to modify 8 often will cut these in half or so, for plants that are slower growing for me! You can see that in my last photo.To extend you just take a new plastic bit, assemble and stick it on the inside of the existing pole, and fill with moss.These ARE strong.Ad someone else said, you may want to weigh down your pot or somehow secure the pole/plant upright because it does get top heavy when the moss is wet. I often have my poles/plants leaning against a wall or something like that.To secure the plants to the pole, I will use the coated paper clips that I unbend, and bend in half to make a “staple” and use it to hold the stem to the pole. I will also use some of the Velcro type plant tape and that works great too. You can see both uses in the photos.My Baltic blue pothos is three feet tall now and has a total of three poles stacked because I did have one cut in half the last time I added length. Doing this does not make the pole feel unsteady at all.When I fill it with moss, since it’s standing upright, I place my moisten moss inside in little handfuls at a time and use a long stick to kind of tamp it down to pack it. But not too tight.I love that these are one sided because a plant will want to just grow in the side the light hits it anyway, so a round pole never really made sense to me.The moss can be somewhat of a chore to keep moist. However I have seen people use modified water bottles upside down (with holes in the lid) to water the pole, and even use some watering gloves. I haven’t got that far yet, and have been moistening by hand with a water squirter, but I have watering globes in my next Amazon order. ❤️

I’ve ordered these moss poles before and loved them, but I’m disappointed with the recent change. They used to be completely clear, but now they have a frosted look, which makes the color difference really noticeable when extending them. It takes away from the seamless appearance I was expecting. On the bright side, they no longer come wrapped in that annoying film, so that’s a plus! The quality is still good, but I really wish they would bring back the clear version.

Great perfect for my plants

Easy assembly and so far so good
