Horty Hints

Reach for the sky! As the plant grows, it may get too long for the current moss pole. Insert a new pole in the hole at the top of the old one and use moss pole pins to secure the new growth into position.

You grow, girl! Increase the bushiness of this plant by pinching out after a leaf node on single stems. This will promote off shoots and more branches, meaning more leaves.

Leaning tower of leaves! As the plant grows it may become top heavy and the moss pole can start to lean. Straighten the pole up and pack compost in tight around it using your fingertips, being mindful not to damage any roots.

Please note: images show how this plant may look at various stages of maturity. The size you choose may look different.
