Climbers are also descenders, therfore by starting them high and allowing them to grow down a different look can be achieved. It tends to work for me and they don't grow over the fence and bug people. This is P. actinia . I give it about 4 hours in the morning of direct morning light and then in the afternoon it gets indirect. I stake the bottom down with 6 penny nails through a washer and it works well. It makes a 4' by 8' trellis for a couple of dollars. By putting the pot on a hill it makes a 45 degree slope of the netting and has a nice hanging effect.The hill makes an L-shape and the netting completes the triangle so from the side it looks like a right triangle. Remember Geometry class. LOLOLOL! |
