- Plant retailers
- Nurseries
- Horticultural distributors
What the product is
A support pole wrapped in coconut coir, used to give climbing and aerial rooting plants something to attach to as they grow. It sells alongside indoor plants rather than as a growing medium, so it reaches a different buyer inside the same business.
How a wholesale order differs
- Length and diameter range, rather than a single size.
- Pack presentation, because the pole is usually sold on a shelf rather than delivered loose.
- Consistency of appearance across a run, which matters more at retail than in a nursery.
- Carton configuration, because poles are awkward to stack and shipping damage shows.
What to confirm before pricing
- The lengths and diameters you want, and the split between them.
- Whether the pole carries your own label or packaging.
- How it will be presented at retail, if it goes to retail.
- Carton and pallet configuration for the destination.
- Whether you want the pole supplied on its own or alongside growing media.
Dimensions, weight and units per carton are confirmed during quotation, because they follow from the sizes agreed for your order.
Packing for export
Poles are packed to survive a sea voyage and then a retail shelf, which are two different requirements. Where the product goes straight to retail, packing is agreed around the presentation rather than only around transit.
Questions buyers ask
Answers to the questions that come up most often on this topic. Where a value depends on your order, the answer says so rather than quoting a figure that would not hold.

How does a wholesale moss pole order differ from a retail one?
A wholesale order works to a length and diameter range rather than a single size, and it has to account for pack presentation, because the pole is usually sold on a shelf rather than delivered loose. Consistency of appearance across a run matters more at retail than in a nursery, and carton configuration matters because poles are awkward to stack and shipping damage shows.
What should I confirm before asking for a price?
The lengths and diameters you want, and the split between them. Whether the pole carries your own label or packaging. How it will be presented at retail, if it goes to retail. Carton and pallet configuration for the destination. And whether you want the pole supplied on its own or alongside growing media.
What are the dimensions, and how many poles fit in a carton?
Confirmed during quotation. Both follow from the sizes agreed for your order rather than from a fixed range, so a published figure would describe a different order than yours.
