Does Herman look like he needs any support yet? And, what is your recommended support system?

He does not need a support yet but I recommend a moss pole

That’s the one I was thinking of using…when is the right timing to add the poll?

#### Mikel’s Plant Posse replied on 2026-06-07

I’ve had Herman for a few weeks, maybe. What do you think my wait may be for a new leaf to start?

#### PLANTS!!🪴🌱 replied on 2026-06-07

When he gets a bit bigger and starts drooping a bit

It depends

I don’t use moss poles. I use timber planks. They love to climb trees

I don’t think it’s ever too early to put a monstera on a spagnum moss pole. They’ll push aerial roots into it sooner and push out bigger leaves when they get support and nutrients through the pole

Just need him to produce his first arial roots…only a year or less old, at this point.
