Hello plant friends! I’ve had this PPP for ab 6 months now & she’s finally losing some bottom leaves. After these get chopped, there will be a huge chunk on the bottom of the plant that’s empty…BUT there’s aerial roots! My question is should I bury her deeper in the soil so the roots could grow, or take the opportunity to add her to a moss pole? I put my white wizard on a moss pole ab 6 months ago & I absolutely love the way it’s grown & would be overjoyed if I can get my PPP looking like that 😂 just not sure if she’s still too young for that yet, & I like the growth pattern she has currently & I don’t want to mess it up. Any advice at all or photos of your PPP on a pole would be greatly appreciated! Also, the dust is diatomaceous earth & not pests lol. Thank you in advance 🙂

Just leave it alone. Doesn’t need anything yet.
A stick for support?
Definitely don’t bury it deeper. Whether you want to add a moss pole or leave it be is up to you, but it should be fine with just light support rn
I am currently sick of my moss poles. Already tossed one yesterday. I am going to put my princes on a regular stick or something now bc I swear one of the poles has fungus gnats lol. I didn’t see any until I decided to put the plant on this pole. My white knight is still on it and thriving, but every time I touch the pole I see a gnat. I’ve tried so much stuff. I’ve been watering the pole with mosquito bits etc.
Acrylic stick will be a good support for her size. You can find them on Amazon. Moss pole is not really necessary its just more work.But if you want then go ahead. With moss pole leaves will face forward and look lush and neat. Even like this she still looks pretty with all that color.
Just some support. Such as a bamboo stick. The roots will not attach to a moss pole.
