An air plant is an epiphyte, which means it does not need soil to live! It takes in all the moisture it requires from the air. Perfect for a desk or small shelving unit. Plants can be used in a terrarium, hanging in the bathroom, or attached to a piece of wood or moss art.
If you have an aroid plant such as Monstera, Philodendron or Alocasia you should check out our handmade extendable moss poles. These are the ultimate treat for your plant, with fresh moss that your plant can latch onto which will make it grow larger, faster and best of all – happier!
Moss poles add humidity and encourage growth in your plant as well as provide support.
Extendable poles are made from Beech rods which are triple treated in Danish Oil for moisture protection.
We only use sustainably sourced fresh sphagnum moss. No peat bogs are harmed!
Available in green, pink or have some stylish alternating stripes with our mixed option.
No plastic used and we wrap in eco friendly packaging too.
Handmade to order in just 1 – 2 days.
Start with a 60cm tall base pole and simply screw in extensions as your plant grows.
Choose whether you need a base or extension below and then choose whether you would like your pole in classic green, stunning pink or a striped mix of both. You will also receive some extra twine and our care card with your pole – plus a cute wee gift for your plant pot.
Or, read on below to learn how to install and care for your moss pole.
Marimo Moss isn’t really a moss, it is a phenomenon of algae in a ball shape from the inside out! This naturally grows in freshwater lakes in Scotland, Estonia, Iceland, Japan and Australia.
There is a history of wonder and lore with Marimo Moss balls. The legend goes that two lovers who were forbidden together fell into a lake and their hearts turned into Marimo Moss! So now Marimo is said to bring your heart’s desire to both the giver and recipient of one.
