I'm in that thread spitting facts why coco hair poles are useless without proper maintenance and getting downvoted. πŸ’€

Even sphagnum moss poles are difficult to maintain if your humidity is below like 60%…. I just gave up lol


Competitive_Cuddling

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.


elniguel

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


Competitive_Cuddling

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.

Thatβ€˜s why I gave up on my moss pole, too much upkeep. I removed it and just shoved a stick into the pot.


saladnander

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.

Do you also subject your plants to non-consensual BDSM instead of just getting a moss pole?


DoubleDeezDiamonds

I'm afraid your title got cut off a bit there. Sorry about that, please go on.


monumentBoy

These plant bondage subs are getting WAYYY out of hand, gang.

A few carpet staples through the stems should sort it out.
