Growing poles really are the way to grow! Think of them as an extension to your pot because every node that touches the pole, roots into the substrate. This also makes for fantastic future propagation!
Climbing plants thrive on growing poles for many reasons, one being stability & support, another being the ability to asorb even more nutrients and water through the roots that grow into the poles substrate.
This inturn promotes stronger, healthier more vigorous growth.
LARGE POLE SIZE:
9.6cm wide x 58cm high (when constructed/folded)
35cm wide x 63.5cm (when flat/how they arrive to you)
The Large PlantThingy poles are suited for all large sized climbing plants. They're ideal for plants such as Monstera, Philodendron and Pothos or for plants you want multiple stems to grow up to create a full, bushy plant.
The large size also has the ability to adjust the size of the "D" shape depending how much substrate you want to use, or the amount of roots the plant will grow.
The hexagon cut-out design also allows for a lot more of the substrates surface area to be exposed, resulting in a higher rooting rate & easier root removal if you want to propagate your plant in the future.
They are easy to use, extendable, strong and durable. Meaning they can be reused over and over again, making them a great long-term product.
Available in Black or Clear
(NOTE: Clear has a protective film on it which will need to be peeled off before use. Top tip, peel film off from side to side, rather then from top to bottom for easy removal)

PlantThingy Aroid Grow Pole - Large
There is no right or wrong answer to this, it really depends on what you prefer using.
Fern fibre is my personal favourite. It retains moisture well and plants roots LOVE it.
Spagmoss is another popular choice. Think moss pole vibes.
Wildvine Aroid mix is great in poles and for ease of using one substrate for potting and filling the pole.
Coconut chip can also be used, it is used a lot overseas. It can draw nutrients out of plants (calcium) over time so you will need to make sure you are feeding your plant regularly to balance this.
Orchid bark could also be an option (although I have no personal experience with this)
The Black are PP or polypropylene (as well as white and frosted)
The Clear are PETG or polyethylene terephthalate glycol
Both plastics are recylclable at the end of their life.
