My Swiss Cheese Plant, bought when quite small, has, inevitably grown. It now has an aerial root and its first holey leaf. I will repot it, but it needs a moss pole. Does anybody have any recommendations please? They seem to vary in price such a lot, it's hard to know which are the ones worth buying. The plant is currently 40 cms, and growing well.

Any help gratefully received.

Does it have to be a moss pole?
It’s perhaps not as aesthetically pleasing but I have my pothos growing up large bamboo sticks and they grow fine.
They are often sold growing up moss sticks

I got one from Highlandmoss.com which is all sustainable. And you can get pink moss - who knew?!

Thank you both. @Powertothepetal - I think the aerial roots would struggle a bit with just bamboo, and if they have something to cling on to, they grow up rather than out, according to what I have read.

Thank you, @Platinum, those moss poles look substantial. I'm about to order.
