greenery post clammy, which is essential for good root adherence of slithering aroids.

The branches are built of lattice wire and contain sphagnum greenery to offer the roots adherence while developing. The watering tube is punctured with little openings which permits an equivalent conveyance of water to saturate through the greenery shaft.

The greenery shafts are intended to impersonate development conditions found in the timberlands in which our plants are normally found. Particularly appropriate for Philodendron (philo = love dendros = tree), climbing Syngonium, Scindapsus, Amydrium, Rhaphidophora and Monstera.

Explanation of a Self-Watering Moss Pole

A self-watering moss pole is a type of plant support system that allows the plant to draw water as needed.

The pole comprises a hollow tube containing water, and the moss acts as a wick that draws water up to the plant’s roots. As the plant grows, it will wrap its tendrils around the pole, giving it the support it needs to climb.

Watering moss can be a tedious task, but with a little ingenuity, you can make your own self watering moss pole. This project is easy to set up and requires very little time.

The supplies are also cheap and can usually make multiple moss poles from a single pvc pipe, so it’s a fun DIY project to revisit as your climbing plants search for new places to climb.

I decided to try to make a self watering moss pole via a wicking system after I first made a very dry moss pole with no moisture retention a few months ago.

I’ll walk you through the steps I took, which items I used, and how it has been working for my vining plant so far.

Benefits of Using a Self-Watering Moss Pole.

A self-watering moss pole is important for several reasons. Firstly, it provides a consistent source of moisture for climbing or vining plants, which is crucial for their healthy growth.

This is especially important for plants that require high humidity levels, such as tropical plants, as the moss wick can help maintain moisture levels around the plant. Secondly, a self-watering moss pole provides support for the plant to grow vertically.

This is particularly useful for plants with weak stems and needing additional support to climb or vines to cling to, such as Monstera deliciosa or Philodendron scandens. Lastly, a self-watering moss pole helps prevent root rot by ensuring the plant is not sitting in overly damp soil.

The water reservoir at the base of the pole allows the plant to draw water as needed, and excess water can drain away, preventing the roots from becoming soggy and potentially rotting.

How to Make a Self-Watering Moss Pole.

Moss poles are great for supporting climbing plants with aerial roots that attach themselves to vertical surfaces. These poles provide a textured surface for the plants to attach to and grow up while also serving as a water source for the plants. This step-by-step guide will show you how to make your own self-watering moss pole.
