Hey guys does anyone use the moss poles for their monsteras and if so can I see what they look like? A bit new still but I just got some moss poles and have no idea what to do! Some tips are greatly appreciated! ☺️

Not everyone use a moss pole. It depends on the aesthetics you want for your own plant. Monstera plants is a vine plant so they can flourish in soil or climb up trees. I have a monsters Peru climbing up a trellis. If you want bigger leaves then give it a moss pole. However, some monstera plants can also thrive as a hanging basket but you will have smaller leaves

God I have so much to learn! Wish me luck! I appreciate this advice so much! Mines a Thai constellation and I am in love but the one leaf I have is a bit damaged and I’m not sure what to do.

That plant needs high humidity. Consider getting a humidifier or sit the plant on a pebble tray then make sure you’re keeping the soil moist but not soaked. Get a soil moisture meter to check your soil if you’re unsure on how to get the watering just right. My tropical plants I automatically just put them in a self watering pot. Hope this helps… this is my monstera Peru and I have it in a self watering pot,sitting on a pebble tray and sitting grouped with my philodendron with a humidifier

I use a plastic stackable system for the poles. The back is solid so easy to water. My aroids love it
