moss poles are porous meaning they dont hold water like a pot depending on whats in it the water should drip out the side thats how the roots get water  
its normal dw

I’m using Moss but then it doesn’t get as wet

how are you watering it?

i always use a mister to get the outside wet that way it doesn’t happen as much and the water stays going down the pole
