How to Make a Moss Pole for Your Monstera Plant
Learn how to make your own DIY moss pole to support a Monstera plant. It's easy to make and a budget-friendly option to buying one.
Yield: 1 Moss Pole
Cost: $10
Equipment
- glue gun and glue
Materials
- Sturdy wood pole at least tall enough for the plant
- Sheet Moss or Sphagnum Moss
Instructions
- Tape off the area of the pole you are using that will be submerged into the pot.
- Glue the sheet moss in intervals along the stick.
- To give it a more natural look, pick off small sections of the sheet moss and glue it randomly on the bare wood sections and top of the pole. Allow some of the wood to peek through.
- Remove the tape and place the pole into your pot as close to the center as possible without damaging the root system too much.
- Carefully arrange the plant around the pole, encouraging the aerial roots to wrap around the pole.
Notes
Other options for a pole could be a PVC pipe, a bamboo stake or any wooden stake.
