# 🆘 So, I bought a moss pole for my baby, Molly (on the brown chair),…

_Posted by Briianna on 2025-04-12_

🆘 So, I bought a moss pole for my baby, Molly (on the brown chair), because she's growing so dang fast and I want her to have somewhere to go besides down. The stick doesn't exactly fit the small pot she came and I'm not sure if I place her in a bigger pot so I can stabilize the stick more without disturbing her roots too much. Should I place her in a bigger pot? My other baby, Millie (on the dresser) seems to be growing much slower if at all. She's in a different room than the other and doesn't get as much light. I'm considering moving her to the same room as Molly to see if she thrives better there. I also don't want her to lose any variegation (is that a thing, can it happen?). Should I repot her into something bigger as well? Would that help encourage her to grow? Appreciate any advice! 🫶

Okay, I've been watching a lot of videos and on Pinterest about moss poles....I really should have looked this up first lol Almost everyone is essentially repotting their plants! They take all the dirt apart from the root and just stick in the pot and add the dirt again. Should I do this? I just don't know 😮‍💨

I think a bigger pot would be super helpful so that way everything isn’t so crowded! When it comes to the one on the dresser, have you fertilized her?

Thanks, Nina! I'll get Molly into a bigger pot asap 🥳 For Millie, no I haven't fertilized her yet. But I do have one someone here recommended. It's called Joyful Dirt Organics All Purpose Plant Food. I can try that and see how she does 🤔

Yes, variegation loss can happen and it can be triggered by inadequate light. It isn't reversible once it happens, so definitely prioritize preventing that.
