Okay so I added a moss pole but I have some concerns that I’ll over-mist my plant because the moss pole is supposed to stay damp. Any thoughts here?

Okay, gorg! Sorry I don’t have any tips lol moss poles are great but a pain. I switched to cedar planks and trellises.

Might do that! It’s weird to have the moss pole get fluff everywhere

#### Tila\_Tequiira replied on 2025-03-14

Yep agreed. I have a single plant left on a moss pole. As soon as spring hits I’m repotting and changing it to a trellis

7 of my 10 plants are needing to be repotted this week so I’ll be doing some shifting.

self watering globes

Oh nice idea!

The self watering approach like Bay Are Plant Mom said seems to work well. Quick, easy, don’t have to spray it every day. You won’t need to mist as often either since the moss retains the moisture. If you plan on attaching vines to the pole, they will eventually root into the moss and then you just water the pole and not the soil in the pot as often.

Stop misting and add humidifiers. Soooo much better. Plants don’t benefit from misting.

#### Sinister Biscuits replied on 2025-02-24

Interesting. It’s worked pretty well for my other plants up until this point, but with their growth it might be time for a new approach. Thanks! 😊

which humidifier waters the moss poles?

#### Potwhileyoupot replied on 2025-02-24

This is the video that helped me pull the trigger to get humidifiers. Hope it helps!

You’d still have to water the moss pole
