FAQs
How do I best use the grow pole for my plant?
Soak the pole in water briefly, then insert it into the pot. Arrange your plant's stems around the pole, encouraging them to grow upwards and attach to the moist coir surface.
Can I use this pole for outdoor plants?
Yes, these poles are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, providing support for climbing plants in gardens, patios, and greenhouses.
What is the core of the grow pole made of?
The current stock features a PVC core. While the coir exterior is biodegradable, the PVC core is not.
How long will the grow pole last?
The lifespan depends on environmental conditions and plant growth, but the coir will naturally degrade over time. The PVC core is durable.
Does the pole need to be watered separately?
While watering your plant will help keep the pole moist, it's beneficial to water the pole directly occasionally, especially in dry conditions, to maximize its moisture-retaining benefits.
What are the dimensions of the grow pole?
The dimensions of the grow pole are L5 x W5 x H50 cm.
Troubleshooting
Plant not attaching to the pole
Ensure the pole is consistently moist. Aerial roots need moisture to adhere. You can also gently tie stems to the pole initially to guide growth.
Pole feels unstable
Re-insert the pole deeper into the soil for better stability. Ensure the soil is firm around the base.
Coir surface appears dry
Increase watering frequency for both the plant and the pole itself. The coir needs to absorb moisture to be effective.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Soak the Pole: Before use, soak the coco pole in water for a few minutes. This helps to rehydrate the coir and prepare it for moisture retention.
- Placement: Decide where the pole will be positioned within the plant's pot or garden bed.
- Planting: Place the pole firmly into the soil, ensuring it is stable. Arrange the stems of your multi-stem plant around the pole, guiding them towards it.
Compatibility:
- Plant Types: Ideal for climbing plants, creepers, and vines such as Monstera, Pothos, Philodendron, climbing ivy, and certain flowering vines.
- Locations: Suitable for use in pots, planters, gardens, indoors, patios, nurseries, allotments, and greenhouses.
- Core Material: Note that the current stock features a PVC core, which is durable but not biodegradable.
Care:
- Watering: Water the pole regularly, especially during dry periods, to maintain its moisture-retaining capabilities. Watering the plant will also help moisten the pole.
- Cleaning: To clean, gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the pole is allowed to dry if it becomes excessively saturated to prevent mold.
