# My Paraiso Verde - Perry - has grown so much from a tiny starter in…

_Posted by jlsKenzy on 2025-07-18_

My Paraiso Verde - Perry - has grown so much from a tiny starter in May to now. I have never used a moss pole and I know it will eventually need one. But, when do I know it's time to add it? He's still upright, one leaf is over 6" and 3 others are over 4" and there are at least 2 more budding. I see nubs for aerial roots starting to form. He's not ready for repotting. Do I repot anyway and make room for the moss pole? Or just wait a little longer? I'm open to any advice or insights. Thanks.
