I have these 2 moss poles I’m trying to decide between for my monstera to replace the current one. I want one that the aerial roots can grow into. I like the idea of the smaller one but will it be big enough for it? Or do I need the bigger 3.5 in width one?

I have bought the first one over 10 times and I love it, so do the plants! They’re easy to put together \& easy to add on to as well!

Does the whole bottom of it just go down into the soil instead of stakes on it?

### Auxsman commented on 2026-01-21

Yes it goes in the soil but you fill the bottom up to the top of your pot with soil so it doesn’t retain too much water! And they don’t have a tendency to fall over (until you get to 4+ feet)

Thank you for this post! As a new monstera mom, I’ve been trying to decide the best route for a moss pole! This definitely helped

#### brittrb replied on 2026-01-22

I ordered it, so I can let you know how it goes when I get it all set up!

#### brittrb replied on 2026-01-22

Also I made a different post not very long ago with more questions on moss poles. There is some very helpful stuff that others suggested and shared

#### Jinxedplant replied on 2026-01-22

I’ll check it out!!!
