I’m here today to teach you how to make a mini moss pole. When you’re a collector of epiphytic plants like Monsteras, Syngoniums, Hoyas, and some Philodendrons, using a moss pole can help your plants to grow big and strong. Moss poles mimic mossy trees, and in their natural environment, epiphytes grow on the trunks of trees and other plants. Often times, the higher a plant grows on a tree or moss pole, the bigger and more mature a plant’s leaf will get. With very few supplies and a couple of bucks, you can make these mini moss poles to start your smaller plants off right! Keep reading to learn how to make a mini moss pole.<\/p>\n

You’ll need:<\/h4>\n

Moss – I’m fortunate enough to live in the northwest where we have harvested moss readily available. If you can’t find a local river moss, you can use this Sphagnum Moss<\/a>. It works just as well!<\/p>\n

Fishing line – Any fishing line will do. You might even have some lying around the house but if not, this fishing line<\/a> is perfect!<\/p>\n

Bamboo Skewers – We’re making mini moss poles today but if you want to make something bigger, you can use any kind of cylinder pole. I used these skewers<\/a> which worked really well for the minis.<\/p>\n
