The PlantScraper Front Opening Moss Pole is a D-shape moss pole designed for flexibility and active plant handling, rather than permanent long-term training.

It provides the same front-facing rooting surface as Classic moss poles, but with a front-opening construction that allows easy access to roots, cuttings, and nodes.

This makes it ideal for propagation, air layering, frequent rearranging, and upgrading plants to larger systems later.

Sphagnum moss is not included. Moss shown in images is for display purposes only.

Front-opening moss poles are best used when access and flexibility matter more than maximum long-term stability.

They are recommended when you:

• Take cuttings regularly
• Plan to upgrade plants to larger moss poles later
• Practice air layering or node rooting
• Want to remove or reposition plants with minimal root disturbance

Classic moss poles, in contrast, are designed for hands-off, long-term training and offer slightly better structural stability and moisture retention.

In short:

• Front opening = flexibility and active care
• Classic = stability and long-term training

Choose size based on the plant’s future growth, not its current size.

S size

• Height ~30 cm
• Width 4.5 cm
• Depth ~3 cm
• Sphagnum moss ~15 g
• Moss pole mix ~0.4 L

M size

• Height ~35 cm
• Width 6 cm
• Depth ~3.5 cm
• Sphagnum moss ~30 g
• Moss pole mix ~0.8 L

L size

• Height ~40 cm
• Width 8 cm
• Depth ~5 cm
• Sphagnum moss ~50 g
• Moss pole mix ~1.5 L

XL size

• Height ~60 cm
• Width 10 cm
• Depth ~6 cm
• Sphagnum moss ~100 g
• Moss pole mix ~3 L

Front-opening moss poles are not part of the Classic anchor system.

• Compatible with Prime Line accessories only
• Compatible with Prime Line anchors and drippers
• Not compatible with Classic Line anchors
• Less stable than Classic poles when stacked
• Recommended stacking limit is up to 4 units

They are designed for modularity and access, not maximum rigidity.

Front-opening moss poles must always be watered from the top.
Both sphagnum moss and moss pole mix contain no nutrients, so regular fertilization is required.

• Front-only ventilation improves moisture retention
• Suitable for sphagnum moss or moss pole mix
• Drippers are recommended for controlled hydration

Made from durable, BPA-free polypropylene or PET plastic, suitable for constant moisture and long-term indoor use.

• Designed for indoor use and best suited for climbing aroids and similar plants
• Climbing plants are trained long-term, not supported temporarily.
• Front-opening moss poles are ideal for propagation, restructuring, air layering, and frequent upgrades, but they are not intended as a permanent, no-touch solution
• If you plan to take cuttings often or regularly change pole size, front-opening moss poles are the better option. For stable, long-term setups with minimal intervention, choose Classic moss poles
• Moss pole size, pot size, and accessories should always be chosen based on the plant’s future size, not its current size. Starting too small almost always leads to repotting and stress later
• Moss poles must always be watered from the top and fertilized regularly, as sphagnum moss and moss pole mix contain no nutrients
• Moss poles should be extended in advance. Once roots reach the top, extending becomes difficult without disturbance
• A high-quality aroid mix with proper drainage is essential for the pot. Drainage is critical for long-term plant health
• If you already have a fully grown plant, taking cuttings and restarting on a moss pole is often the cleanest and safest approach
• Our systems are designed to grow with the plant, but front-opening poles prioritize flexibility over maximum structural stability
