Hey! So it looks like a Monstera Adasonaii (I’m terrible at spelling) they love humidity so mine lives in my bathroom lol bright indirect light is what they need.

The moss pole should help it grow tall. You should keep this kind of pole moist. You can put like watering bulb in there or just water the pole occasionally.

Aren't you blind and short to do Moss poles, 😩 is there a way to tie it to like a bamboo stake to help it climb? And just mist the aerial roots, like I do now pretty much daily, or can I put this in a hanging pot will it hang? 🤔
