How frequently do you water your sphagnum moss poles? I mean… the obvious answer is “when they’re dry”, but was wondering if you have any tips or insight

Are these rooted in the moss pole or in the pot, or both?

I’d recommend watching some videos by the Sidney Plant Guy on YouTube. Jan (?), I think that’s right, is a German transplant who lives in Australia, and is a total plant nerd. I’ve really come to enjoy his work. His home is overflowing with plants, mostly anthurium, and he’s very skilled, and I’m totally jealous. Anyway, he has a number of great videos on moss poles.

They’re planted in the pot (tropical soil mixture). Moss pole is about 2 inches into the soil.

Will do! Thanks
