Hi there! I recently got a philodendron billietiae and had them against a kratiste pole attached with a loop of twine. I've realised now that I attached the pole to the wrong side (I believe) and the side facing the room has 2 of what I believe to be root nodes. I would like to have the pole at the back of the plant facing the wall, and would like for the philodendron to climb the pole. My question for you all is if I should place the pole on the side of the plant with the nodes and spin the plant to have the pole nearest to the wall (for aesthetics mainly)? If I do this only one leaf will face the light, but I believe they will move back in time? Ok top of that, is a kratiste pole fine? I like large leaves and would love 60cm leaves, but I have purchased kratiste poles now and don't want to waste them! I have a monstera adansonii too, if I put the philodendron on a moss pole would the monstera be okay on kratiste poles or would it also be better on a moss pole? Thankyou!
The first picture is where I originally had the pole, the second is where I think I should have it, and third is the plant how I had it oriented with the pole (the pole has been removed so the plant is tilting slightly)
