Lee Anne: What a great tutorial! Those poles are perfect for Philodendrons and other plants that like to cling and climb!
I thought about making moss poles like that for a long time but I knew I wasn't strong enough to cut that thick wire, and hubby never seemed to have the time ... so for my philodendron's I used small tree branches that I wrapped and tied coir fiber around and "planted" them in the pots when I re-potted the philodendrons.
The tree branches wrapped in coir are okay for smaller plants but those wire cages stuffed with LFS are perfect for large plants! My Monstera deliciosa could sure use a big cage/pole like that great one in your photo! Maybe I will see if I can talk my husband into helping me with one the next time he has some free time.
