Product specification

This design integrates our existing moss pole design into a lightweight, shelled out planter, giving the moss pole an anchor point that will remain perpendicular no matter which way your plant decides to lean. The pot floor is an open mesh, allowing all the excess water to flow freely into the cache vessel, and allowing the water from the vessel to permeate the substrate; the walls of the pot also have thin slits to speed up flow that way.

The cache vessel is designed to provide a solid base, with 6 rubber feet to improve stability and prevent slipping.

If you need further support, read our instructions, or reach out to us.

This planter kit includes:

• Inner mesh pot, with built in anchor for XL, XXL, Demi, or D-pole
• Outer cache pot, fully enclosing the inner pot (no light penetration)
• Water level indication parts, to be calibrated to the users growing method

As with our other products, its modular nature allows endless use and reuse, with moss pole extensions and attachments that can be added and removed, cleaned and repurposed.

Ensure you pick your moss pole extensions to match the anchor type!

Material

All parts are made of PLA+. PLA is a 100% bio-sourced plastic: it’s made of renewable resources such as corn or sugar cane. PLA is also biodegradable and it can be composted.

Assembly

Instructions for an example assembly and pot up, for a planter with the D-pole anchor.

Add-ons & extensions

Keep growing your pole with your plant by purchasing moss pole extension kits. Additional modules can be attached without the use of any tools, with screw-on/snap-in joints. In the same fashion, the poles may be disassembled for cleaning and reuse if your plant doesn't take to its home.

As hydrated moss can get heavy our recommendation is that you use an additional brace if you extend your moss pole past 100 cm (3ft). Your plant will be very top heavy once it reaches a certain height, so consider some additional wall or hanging support to keep it from tipping. 

Get the incredibly practical Slow-Drip watering cap that drops into the top of your moss pole to make keeping the moss moist a breeze! 

Filling your moss pole

Better by far than a coco coir pole, our moss poles are best filled with sphagnum moss, which will hold much more moisture: this will benefit the plant and increase the humidity in it's environment to a greater degree. The moss can also be mixed with bark, perlite, or coir chips if you would like to reduce drying cycles.

Small print

Everything we make is printed to order and lovingly squeezed out by our 3D printers at our little workshop, so there may be slight variations and minor visual defects to your products. This is just a standard feature of the production method.
