My Maranta leuconora is shooting out air roots like crazy.

I already looked if others use moss poles for them, but I couldn’t find anyone using moss poles for this plant.

My experience tells me, that it might benefit from one. Would you agree?

I haven’t used a moss pole yet, do you have any tips?

I grow this plant in semi hydro (mineralic substrate/ LECA), and I don’t want to have something organic, like wood or sphagnum moss, near it.
Do you have any alternatives, that fit the same use but don’t utilise organic substrates?

    Hahaha, no thanks 😁 I already have too many of those. The Maranta spreads in my house like weeds.

    But yeah, you’re right! What works even better imo is to stick it into LECA instead of water, which keeps everything moist and aerated, and prevents rotting issues
