moss poles are beneficial as they allow the plant to grow roots into the moss as it climbs, which is what it would do naturally, and generally does produce the happiest plant. however, moss poles require consistent maintenance to keep them moist, and they can \& will mold if you don't pay enough attention. it's up to personal choice, you can also just get a plank of wood and use some plant velcro 🤷 if they're climbing they're happy

Totally agree with the first comment. The idea is to give her conditions that are most like what she would have in the wild.
