This has to be our most asked question!Both our bendable moss pole and bendable coir pole can be used for different things.Ultimately, it's your personal preference!The Bendable Moss Pole This pole was designed specifically for aerial rooting plants. We wanted to provide a customizable pole so you can train your plant where to grow.This moss pole is best for plants like pothos, monstera, rhaphidophora tetrasperma and many others.Once you get your bendable moss pole, we recommend to lightly moisten your pole to "activate" the moss. Your plants roots will sense the soft/moist environment and will want to dig it roots in. If done properly, your plants roots will grab on to the moss pole and hold on. This simulates their natural growing environment which will ultimately lead to larger leaves and a healthier/happier plant. VS.The Bendable Coir PoleThis Pole does not require misting or watering. The roots will still tend to form around the pole but will not dig in.The super bend-ability of this pole is pretty spectacular. With our Bendable Coir Pole, your plant masterpiece is only limited by your imagination. This pole can bend into extremely unique positions giving you options.You can either contour the pole around the plant or train your plant to grow any direction, similar to a bonsai tree.
