Plant Supports, Trellises & Totems for Climbing Houseplants
Help climbing and vining houseplants grow with structure using plant supports, trellises, totems, hoops, and training accessories. These supports are useful for Monstera, Philodendron, Pothos, Hoya, Scindapsus, and other indoor plants that naturally climb or vine.
Choose the Right Plant Support
-
Trellises: A good choice for compact climbers and trailing vines that you want to train upward or across a decorative frame.
-
Totems and poles: Helpful for larger climbing aroids such as Monstera and climbing Philodendron.
-
Hoops and arches: Useful for guiding flexible vines into a tidy shape while adding vertical structure to the pot.
-
Plant ties and training accessories: Help secure stems gently as new growth is directed onto a support.
Which Houseplants Benefit From Support?
Many tropical vines and climbing aroids benefit from something to climb. Popular choices include Monstera deliciosa, Monstera adansonii, Philodendron micans, Philodendron Brasil, Pothos, Scindapsus, and many Hoyas. Support can help manage long vines, encourage upright growth, and make mature plants easier to display indoors.
Pair your support with plants from our trailing and climbing plants, vining Philodendron, or Monstera collection.
How to Train a Plant Onto a Trellis or Totem
- Place the support securely in the pot without forcing it through major roots.
- Guide the main vine or stem toward the support.
- Use soft ties or plant tape loosely so the stem has room to grow.
- Continue attaching new growth as the plant climbs.
For repotting or upgrading the container at the same time, browse our plant pots and planters.
Do all climbing plants need a moss pole?
No. A moss pole is one option, but many plants can also be trained successfully on trellises, hoops, wooden supports, or other sturdy structures.
What size plant support should I choose?
Choose a support that fits securely in the pot and leaves room for new growth. Larger, faster-growing plants usually benefit from taller or extendable supports.
