About Moss Sticks
The moss stick goes by many names – moss stick, bamboo stakes, plant supports, climbing pole, moss totem, etc. lt’s an object standing vertically with moss or a natural coco coir fibre covering it. The purpose of a moss pole is to emulate the natural growing environment of a climbing vine and provide it with micronutrients and water via aerial roots.
Essentially, the moss pole acts as a fake tree for your plants to cling to and is an excellent option for a wide variety of houseplant favourites, including Monstera deliciosa and many pothos options. The moss pole creates a tremendous aesthetic and provides your plants with support and nutrients.
Benefits of Moss Sticks
Many Vining housplants are epiphytes, a plant that grows on top of another plant (usually a tree). In the tropics, these plants grow on tree trunks toward the top of the forest canopy.
- Nutrients & Moisture - through its coco fibre material, these Moss sticks provide moisture & a few micronutrients to plants that they wouldn't get in traditional pots or containers.
- Mature Leaves - moss sticks promote mature foliage by allowing your plant to sense the pole’s support, which creates larger leaves as it climbs.
- Aesthetic Appeal - having a plant grow upward helps you make use of small spaces – and it gives you the freedom to shape your plant however you feel.
How to Use a Moss Stick?
Moss Sticks are mostly used to support vining varieties. Here's how to use them:
- Fill your desired planter 1/3 with soil.
- Insert the moss stick in the middle of the pot and stabilize it using some damp soil at the base.
- Pot your plant as close to the moss stick as possible, leave a 1-inch gap between the roots and the stick.
- Tie the aerial stems in close concentric circles around the moss stick and tie them with jute or nylon strings to hold them in place.
