Pretty leaves! When I add a moss pole, I usually take the plant and soil out of the pot, put the pole where I want it in the pot, fit the roots in the space left around the pole, and fill the dirt back in snug. You’ll probably also want to attach the plant to the pole in the meantime until it attaches itself. I use plant Velcro tape from the hardware store, but anything soft and flexible should work fine
