Propstick Forty by Grow Vertical

Climbing plants want something to climb. The Propstick Forty gives them a support you can fill, use, empty and use again.

What it is: A 400mm plant support pole by Grow Vertical. It’s made in Australia and ships flat, ready for you to assemble and fill.
What it does: Gives climbers like monstera, philodendron and pothos something to grip and grow up, filled with whatever media you prefer.
Best used: In a 100mm pot. The wider tab setting fits pots from 80mm up to 160mm.
How to use: Clip the butterfly tabs in at your chosen width, fill it with your media, then set it in the pot.

Built to be used again. Most moss poles last one round. When the plant comes out at repotting, the coir is usually broken down or locked into the roots, and the pole goes in the bin. The Propstick Forty is one piece of moulded plastic held together by butterfly tabs. To free the plant, release the tabs and the pole opens up. Refresh the media and it’s ready for the next plant.

Fill it with what works for you. It comes without media on purpose. Our Tree Fern Fibre is a natural fit, but you can also use sphagnum or whatever you’re experimenting with. The pole holds the media, and your plant’s aerial roots do the rest.

Fits the pot you’ve got. The butterfly tabs clip in at two widths: standard suits a 100mm pot, and wide takes it up to 160mm. For the most secure hold, drill a couple of holes in the back wall of the pot, zip-tie the pole to it, then backfill around it. If you’d rather not drill, it stands fine just buried in the mix. You can also zip-tie it through the drainage holes at the base, which is handy if you’re hanging the plant.

Two finishes. Black Eco is made from 90% kerbside-recycled plastic. Clear is made from non-recycled plastic and is fully transparent, so you can see the media and watch roots work their way in.

FAQ

Does it come with moss or media?

No. It ships flat and empty, without media or zip ties, so you can fill it with whatever suits your plant. Our Tree Fern Fibre is a good place to start.

How is it different from a coir moss pole?

A coir pole is the support and the media in one, so once it breaks down or the roots grow through it, the whole thing is finished. The Propstick Forty separates the two. The plastic frame lasts, and you only replace the media. That also means you choose the media rather than being locked into coir.

What size pot does it fit?

It’s designed for a 100mm pot. With the wider tab setting it fits pots from 80mm up to 160mm.

How do I secure it?

For the firmest hold, drill holes in the back wall of the pot, zip-tie the pole to it, then backfill. If you don’t want to drill, burying it in the mix works fine. For hanging pots, zip-tie it through the drainage holes at the base. Zip ties aren’t included.

Can I reuse it?

Yes. Release the butterfly tabs, the pole opens to free the plant, then refill it for the next one.

What’s the difference between Black Eco and Clear?

Black Eco is 90% kerbside-recycled plastic. Clear is non-recycled and fully transparent, so you can see inside.
