Does anyone know which philodendrons need moss poles?

I have about 7-8 different philodendrons and I’m trying to figure out which ones would thrive more with a pole? Also which ones like to hang?
Hi Dani!

Off the top of my head, technically any philodendron could use a moss pole so you can't go wrong per say.

As far as hanging vs using a pole, look at the way that the plants are in the pot. Usually ones that like a pole are growing leaves close together on a single stem (jungle boogie, PPP, golden goddess, etc).
The ones that can hang and trail usually have leaves with space between and have multiple stems (Brasil, heart leaf, Brandi, etc).

If you want to share photos of what you have below we can make specific recommendations!
@AcademicPinoak I agree with @PlantMompy πŸ’―
@PlantMompy sorry it took long, these are my current guys that I’m trying to figure out if they need moss poles or not? I also have a swish cheese one
And this guy he’s a Mican
Hi Dani, what am awesome collection!!

Your Brasil and Micans will climb or trail so the pole is optional. The rest will want a pole eventually πŸ™‚
@PlantMompy thank you so much!
