I’m a complete ignorant beginner but I don’t see anything wrong with that setup! In fact I’m tempted to eventually try something similar!

Aw thanks! My mother gave it to us as an anniversary present so I have the goal of making it HUGE

#### Buckolena replied on 2026-09-28

I should think it should indeed get big and beautiful with that setup!

It looks good but the important thing is that the stem is what is being tied to the pole. Not the petioles or part of the leaves. It’s hard to tell from the pic. Godspeed! 💚💚

Remember not to tie them too tight!

Good luck

I was looking for some advice too! Your bottom leaves are huge! I'd say you've got it but I'm a beginner pole user too haha
