# Ok I got a moss pole, but I don’t know how to start princess Penelope…

_Geplaatst door Ashley op 2024-07-20_

Ok I got a moss pole, but I don’t know how to start princess Penelope on it. Do I stick it in the middle? Do I stick it in the back? Do I tire to it? Do I just get it close? I need help!

What happens if I don’t put the moss pole in for her to climb

Hey! Cute name : Princess Penelope.. loved ittt.  
Keep the moss pole in the middle.

When the plant starts growing big , the stems become too hard and strong and it needs some sort of support.

There is a “front and back” to monsteras. Just check to make sure that the pole is on the back side of the main stem. You can usually tell by checking out where the nodes (or aerial roots) begin to sprout from.
