Grow your plant on a D-Shaped moss pole without the mess of soil with our modular soilless base. The Soilless Base converts our tried and proven D-pole sections into a vertical growing unit that has endless applications with epiphitic genera. Compatible with the D-Shaped line of moss poles, this add-on is perfect for rooting your climbing plant into a moss pole, and removing the soil element. Pair this base with a few sections of the D-Pole extensions to create a unique growing environment! Once the clear back is assembled, the sections can be filled with moss, bark, coco fibre, or your favourite chunky mix, creating an extendable vertical planter. This base has a wide footprint for stability, and will hold about 200ml of water if the moss pole is overwatered. Note that moist moss is very heavy, and a tall moss pole will quickly become top heavy. Consider additional support to ensure your precious plant does not accidentally topple over. Why go soilless ? Good for plants and takes up less space Less mess and hassle Deals with issues such as root rot Healthier and less pests-prone environment for growing your plant. It's great to grow a plant without the hassle of pots of soil that quickly become too small or heavy to move around. The pot up process is also not as involved when you go soillless; plant care is definitely easier with a modular soilless system. What to grow on your soilless moss pole system? I've filled the pole with sphagnum moss but switch it over to a chunky aroid mix if you prefer. Take that Monstera, and replace it with an Orchid, or an Anthurium, or any other Ephiphyte that might enjoy a vertical growing method. This unit would be ideal as an Orchid Tower. Or, simply place this standalone moss pole next to your pot, and have the plant lean back onto it, preventing any moisture transfer between your moss pole and your potted plant!
