HivePole – Modular Honeycomb Moss Pole System (95 mm) | Threaded Expandable Trellis

After trying a number of commercial moss poles, I wanted something that solved the issues I kept running into:

• Too small for mature plants

• Difficult to extend

• Weak clip-on connectors

• Poor water distribution

• Limited support for aerial roots

This design is my solution.

The pole uses threaded modular sections so you can add height as your plant grows instead of replacing the entire support.

The elongated honeycomb pattern provides excellent support while leaving large openings for aerial roots to penetrate into the moss.

Included Parts

• Base Plate

• Base Adapter

• Modular Honeycomb Tube

• Joining Flange

• Top Cap

Print as many tube sections as required.

The base plate will need be edited to fit your pot. I have included two one I used with a thick ceramic pot the other a thin plastic one.

Assembly

1. Print the base, flange, tube(s) and cap.

2. Screw the base adapter into the base plate.

3. Fill the first tube with damp sphagnum moss.

4. Screw the tube onto the base.

5. Continue adding additional filled tube sections.

6. Finish with the top cap.

7. Water from the top—the water drains through each module into the next, keeping the entire pole moist.
