# I’ve just joined this group to share my monstera energy with besides…

_Posted by Seven Alexandria on 2026-05-19_

I’ve just joined this group to share my monstera energy with besides my friends/family who are less than enthusiastic 😆. I’m caring for a 2 year old Thai Con. A week ago we switched her from a large planter w coco pole to a smaller pot w a moss pole. Growth had been stagnant since January 2026 so after some research I made the change! Please meet my little lady

Sharing the the coco pole ‘before’ and some Aerial root sprouts since adding the moss poll support. Love it here 🤍

I have a Monstera, what is the pole for and how do you get those verigated leaves?

#### Seven Alexandria replied on 2026-05-21

Hello there! Monstera are climbing plants that need support, usually a tree in nature that provides stability support and nutrition/hydration. The moss pole provides those in an indoor setting. Additional benefits include making it easier to propagate, and more trendy aesthetic. My monstera is a variegated Thai Constellation monstera

How long have you had your Monstera?

### David commented on 2026-05-21

Wow thanks Alexandria I did not know they were climbing plants!

### David commented on 2026-05-21

I’ve had mine for about six months… At least the one at home. I’d love to get a pole and have it climb up!
