Then at that point, loosely tie each Monstera vine to the stakes with twine, but don’t tie them too tightly though. I’ve driven the poles right into the existing pot, but you can also do this at the time of repotting. Simply drive 3 or 4 of them straight down into your pot, and tie all of them on top. I’d recommend using ones that are 6 feet tall. This is a super easy method that you can use for your Monstera deliciosa, and I’ve used this for my own large plant.Īll you have to do is visit your local garden center and get the sturdiest bamboo stakes that you can find (you can even use hardwood tomato stakes). Otherwise, if you have a larger plant with several vines, I prefer the next method. I find that moss posts are easiest to use when you only have 1 or 2 vines on your Monstera. You don’t NEED to use a moss post, and if you don’t feel like making one, there are other options. They’re much sturdier, and much better quality than any pre-made ones out on the market. You would simply need to keep the sphagnum moss moist, and the Monstera aerial roots grow into the moss.Ĭheck out my DIY moss pole guide so you can make your own. Snake plants are especially sensitive to root rot, so you have to use an even lighter hand when watering them. The moss poles are made from PVC coated hardware mesh, sphagnum moss, twist ties, and a plastic coated stake to reinforce the pole. The leaves of the snake plant may turn brown or yellow with a soft texture, not a crispy one like with underwatering. I prefer to make my own, and it’s actually quite easy!Ī moss post I made for my variegated Monstera deliciosa. There are many moss poles on the market, but I’ve found most of them to be quite expensive and poor quality. One of the most popular supports for Monstera deliciosa is a moss pole. Single stake posts made out of coconut coir or other materials.When a Monstera deliciosa is still small, it won’t be apparent that it needs a support because it hasn’t vined out yet, but it’s beneficial to provide a support pretty early on, so it can get a good start. It’s doing exactly what it’s support to do, but you’ll have to take the place of Mother Nature and give it a support!

HERE ARE SOME SUPPORT IDEAS A plant can fall over as well if its root does not get enough space to firmly grow in there. So, if you’re growing this plant indoors and it’s falling over or leaning, there is nothing wrong with your plant. When you notice your plants falling over, repot them into a new pot.
