# Looking for suggestions! Picked up this dragon tail at a local plant…

_Posted by K on 2024-03-25_

Looking for suggestions! Picked up this dragon tail at a local plant shop last week and she is at the very top of her coco fiber pole. 3 plants in the pot but the main one on the pole seems to be totally rooted in the pole (no roots going down to the soil that I can see). I’d like to extend with an actual moss pole so I can water and fertilize more effectively. Any ideas on how to Frankenstein a moss pole onto this one she came with?

My poles are DIY w rabbit wire outer and sphagnum moss inside. I was thinking I could try to put one sort of over top of the coco pole and then add stability with a stake running the length of both. (I’ll put a pic of me holding it in place that way.) My only hesitation is that I’d have to repot her to anchor the stake and that could be a big shock. Thoughts?
