From Amazon. He's a White Wizard and I know these types don't really need a moss pole, but I wanted it to grow only on one side, not in a circle. So really just to save space 😅. I have him in a self watering pot with pon.

It will help the leaves get bigger so it will benefit it. I just love the look of it. If it’s a trailing plant bam you get a moss pole lol. I am like Oprah Winfrey over here you get a moss pole, everybody gets a moss pole lmao.
