Bring variety to your indoor garden: These trellises are easy to make, just as practical as the usual rectangular grids and pretty even without greenery.
Finding the way up ivy, climbing fig, Jasmine and many other climbing pot plants always. You only need one support, around which they can wrap their shoots. Is that a grid?, is a ball or a duck, doesn't matter to them. You therefore have a free hand in the design.
Material for the climbing aids is 3 to 5 mm thick galvanized wire, which can be easily cut with side cutters and easily bent with round-nose pliers. The shapes are not bent freehand, but on a drawn template. Geometric figures like cones, Circles or squares are drawn on paper using a ruler or compass. Photographs or drawings serve as templates for animal figures, which can be brought to the desired size with the copier or enlarged with the help of a small grid. Start with simple shapes, that you modify: For example, several circles can become a sphere with a small sphere as a decoration on the crossing point.
This is how you get every curve!
Simple straight rod cones become more interesting, when the upper ends are turned outwards or end in an attached decorative ball. With rings, that constrict the rods at regular intervals, a whole new shape emerges.
So that the climbing aids stand securely in the pot, they must have long skewers – a length of two-thirds the height of the pot is ideal. When the plant needs to be moved to a larger pot after a few years, moves the climbing aid with it. With geometric shapes, it's easy, a new, to place larger climbing aids over the old one. Figures should be planned equally large enough and with slow growing, pruning-tolerant plants are greened. Regular trimming is one of the most important care measures anyway, because this is the only way the shape remains visible and the plant becomes nice and full, because it keeps sprouting new tendrils out of the base.
