# So I put a moss pole in my monstera about a week ago and there are…

_Posted by Celeste on 2023-10-02_

So I put a moss pole in my monstera about a week ago and there are still some leaves that are flopped down. Should I add another pole (around where you can see the aerial root sticking out of the pot)? Also if you can see it, did I attach the first pole correctly? Thanks so much!

It look good to me . But where can I buy a moss pole from. And what does it do for the plant? Thank you

I got mine off of Amazon, and it helps provide support for the plant to grow upwards and tall.

If it has some some long aerial roots attach them to it so it knows to climb, you can do the same with the stem, just make sure it’s not too tight
