A modular moss pole with built-in drip irrigation for Monstera and other climbing plants. The pole screws together in sections, so you can extend it as your plant grows. A watering funnel on top lets water wick down through the moss — no more daily misting.
Three sizes available:
- 68mm diameter — heavy duty, includes optional drip irrigation attachment
- 50mm diameter (braided) — lighter, decorative look
- 50mm diameter (simple) — compact and quick to print
Components
Base — stable foundation with three 1/4" fiberglass rods for anchoring in the pot
Threaded sections — modular, screw together for the height you need
Watering funnel — sits on top, small holes encourage wicking into the moss
Drip irrigation container (68mm only) — attaches to the pole with adjustable water flow (Version 2 has built-in flow control, no external dripper needed)
Bill of Materials
Fiberglass rods (1/4" diameter) — cut from a driveway marker rod from Home Depot
1/4" distribution tubing + 1/2 GPH dripper (optional, for drip version) — Amazon
Silicone grease or food-safe lubricant for the threads
Print Settings
Material: PETG (I used Hatchbox brass/copper PETG)
Nozzle: 0.4 mm
Layer height: 0.2 mm
Supports: none
Brim: recommended for funnel and pole sections
Apply grease to threads after printing — PETG threads need lubrication to avoid binding
