Moss Pole?

Hi everyone, quick question about my White Princess Philodendron. She has been growing like a weed this summer and seems to be trying to escape the pot. I'll need to repot her soon anyways since she has roots coming out the bottom of her pot. Are WPP's climbers or crawlers? Everything I've read about them says they're self heading, but mine seems determined to crawl. Gotta love a plant with a mind of its own. πŸ™„

They only grow up. Here’s a picture of my PPP, They just keep going up! And the support will help the focus on growing and not on trying to stay together. It’s a beautiful WPP! Hope it goes well! πŸ¦‹πŸžπŸͺ΄πŸŒΈπŸŒ»
@Charli3Plant Hi Charlie, she definitely looks ready for a pole!
HAPPY GROWING
Definitely climbers. Judging by the size, she’s ready for one. You can go for it! :)
You will want to add some sort of support for your princess. They do get top heavy . A pole will give some support and a brace and also a great way to show off the pretty leaves.
Love it! Yours is soo pretty! 😍
Thank you for the responses everyone!
@SuperblyLilac where did you get that pole from?
Your PPP is gorgeous!
@SuperblyLilac Your PPP is gorgeous too, love the colors of your princess!οΏΌοΏΌ

@Charli3Plant WOWZERS! I actually found the receipt through my Shop app! The company is called β€œSuper Trellis β€œ they have others to pick from also. supertrellis.com πŸŒΈπŸžπŸ¦‹πŸͺ΄πŸŒ»
If you look on Pinterest, they show you how to make moss poles. I used wooden dowels, plastic craft canvas, and sheet moss, fishing line wrapped around it to hold the moss on.
Treleaf https://treleaf.shop/ has beautiful cedar trellises with rubber on the past that goes in your substrate. There extendable and they sell B-Stock cheap (most you can't tell there's anything wrong.) I use miss poles for some plants, but they do take some effort. Treleaf's trellises only require that you attach your plant to get it going!
