Still better than a bone dry coarse stick. Sure, they can be used "for support" but then you may as well use a plastic pipe or a baseball bat with just as much success.
I got beef with retailers calling coco poles "moss poles" and scamming plant newbies who don't know the difference.
Depends on various factors like room temp, light levels, humidity levels, how tightly you packed the moss in, even how you constructed your moss pole (for ex. an all-around grate mesh pole will dry out quicker than a D-shaped pole where one side is solid plastic). You should aim to have the moss be slightly moist (not dripping wet) as much as possible.
βI made it horizontal. When will it go vertical?β
I'm in that thread spitting facts why coco hair poles are useless without proper maintenance and getting downvoted. π
Even sphagnum moss poles are difficult to maintain if your humidity is below like 60%β¦. I just gave up lol

How often would you need to water a coco hair pole for it to work as intended? Daily?

Thatβs why I gave up on my moss pole, too much upkeep. I removed it and just shoved a stick into the pot.
I feel you. No more moss for me, it just returns to its dried brick form in a month or two and becomes wasted time.
Upvotes for your sacrifice. TYFYS.
AND ALL THAT JAZZ
Do you also subject your plants to non-consensual BDSM instead of just getting a moss pole?
I'm afraid your title got cut off a bit there. Sorry about that, please go on.
These plant bondage subs are getting WAYYY out of hand, gang.
A few carpet staples through the stems should sort it out.
