Moss Pole Monstera Plant Support - Train Indoor Climbing Plants to Grow Upwards - 2 Coco Coir Totem Stakes - Potted House Vine Trellis Extends to 28.7 Inches

I love the idea of it but the stake at the bottom began to turn black and i noticed the soil had a thin layer of black mold or fungus I’m not sure what it is but it smelled like mushrooms. I’m so sad this didn’t work out for me but to anyone reading this, just get a treated bamboo stick and wrap coir moss around it with thread and you will have the same thing basically and not risk bringing home some disease or mold to your plants. i changed the dirt and cleaned my pot , and put my plant back in but this time i cut the moss and wrapped it around a bamboo stick and this worked just fine.

These are great! Super sturdy, which is what you would expect, however this is the 3rd brand of support pole that I’ve tried for my heavy Monstera. The others buckled under the stress and snapped. I haven’t had these long but I did put them in the plant as soon as they arrived and I have a feeling that they will last a very long time.**Just a note. The other 2 poles I tried were not from this brand or this seller.******Update as of a June 9. Still no issues at all, the Pole has not budged an inch! It now supports the full weight of my leaning Monstera!

After reading some of the negative reviews for plant totem poles, I was skeptical about purchasing these, but I was very humbly surprised. They arrived faster than anticipated and had that fresh, sweetly pungent odor that cococoir naturally has—or at least I find cococoir to have a sweetly pungent odor. I am using mine to help a monstera adansonii (surrounded by preserved moss) climb, and I think I would have preferred doubling them—two at the base and two on top for better stability, however as of now, stability is not an issue. In fact, they’re relatively sturdy as I’ve had to move the massive pot numerous times and the stakes have stayed in place. They have wobbled a bit, but came no where close to collapsing.Thankfully, there were no issue with bugs or mites that others have had, nor have I had an issue with mold or mildew considering the adansonii is surrounded by moss. The only curious thing was the stakes were not packaged in a bag like the box said it would, but as I have not had any issues in the month or so that I’ve had them, I’m not concerned by lack of packaging. I would most definitely try my luck with ordering these stakes again.

I had no idea this plant was a climber when it was given to me. It is so much happier with this support pole. I had to use both of them from the start. I did not need to use the enclosed twine. Within a few days, the plant was hanging on my itself. Looks like I am going to need an extra set soon.

When I bought my first Monsterra years ago it had a cedar plank in the pot with it to help train it up and keep it from turning into a bush, which these plants can do if not trained "up" from a young age. As it grew larger, I decided I wanted something easier to secure it to than the wood plank, and that would take up less room in the pot. This ended up being the perfect thing! It looks nice and doesn't detract from the beauty of the plant while helping me keep it contained and growing up rather than everywhere haha. It was super easy to spike into place and manage the branches with the twin included. I only wish they would have included more of it as I ran out before I was done securing all the leaves! That's a easy thing to find and buy at a local store though so no big deal.I also love that I can buy more as it continues to grow (which I'll need to do soon) and continue to connect them together. This has also been a great solution for the air roots which were starting to get pretty unsightly and unwieldy. I didn't want to cut them off, they just needed something to anchor to and this was the perfect thing!I feel like the product is good and the price is fair and my plant looks so much better and happier now. I can definitely recommend!I sincerely hope this review has been helpful for someone else, and yes, I paid full price for this. Feel free to ask me any questions!
