Product specification

XL modular moss pole with a large 6 cm (2.4") diameter, the starter kit is comprised of two detachable 25 cm (10") sections, and one of two base options. We offer moss pole kits with extensions up to 200 cm (80"), just select from the length options. 

A tried and proven sturdy design, this moss pole has a unique screw connection that allows this moss pole to be endlessly extended as your plant grows.

The starter kit includes:

• 1 x 14 cm anchor base OR stake
• 2 x 25 cm pole extensions

We have designed this modular moss pole with a sturdy anchor pot base that will keep your pole upright, while adapting to the diameter of your pot: this provides the most stability. If you don't intend on repotting your plant while you add the moss pole, choose our stake instead, which can just be pushed and twisted into the soil. 

This XL sized kit is quite sturdy, and suitable for most thin-stemmed climbing plants. For young plants, check our L-sized kit, and for heavy climbers consider our XXL and D-Shaped Kits.

Happy to help if you're unsure - send us a pic of your plant and we can advise!

Material

All parts are made of PLA+. PLA is a 100% bio-sourced plastic: it’s made of renewable resources such as corn or sugar cane. PLA is also biodegradable and it can be composted.

Sizing

XL-sized modular moss pole with a large 6 cm (2.4") diameter, the starter kit is comprised of two 25 cm (10") sections of moss pole, and a 12.5 cm (5") base (either a twist-in stake, or a buried anchor base). We offer moss pole kits with lengths up to 200 cm (80"), and you can increase the length further by adding extensions. 

Assembly

We will also provide instructions on how to put your moss pole together using sphagnum moss, but honestly, it is so straightforward and easy that you probably won't need it. They will still be there, if you need them.

Moist moss poles are extremely top-heavy, so our recommendation is that you use an additional brace if your plant is very heavy, or if you extend your moss pole past 100 cm (4 units). You don't want your precious plant keeling over! Our brackets are an excellent option as well, as they can be attached to a nearby wall with nothing more than double sided tape!

Add-ons & extensions

Keep growing your pole with your plant by purchasing moss pole extension kits. Additional modules can be attached without the use of any tools, with screw-in joints. In the same fashion, the poles may be disassembled for cleaning and reuse if your plant doesn't take to its home.

As an aside, each extension of 25 cm holds about 1 litre of hydrated moss.

Get the incredibly practical Slow-Drip watering cap that drops into the top of your moss pole to make keeping the moss moist a breeze! 

Filling your moss pole

Better by far than a coco coir pole, our moss poles are best filled with sphagnum moss, which will hold much more moisture: this will benefit the plant and increase the humidity in it's environment to a greater degree.

Small print

Everything we make is printed to order and lovingly squeezed out by our 3D printers at our little workshop, so there may be slight variations and minor visual defects to your products. This is just a standard feature of the production method.
