This is part of the original plant I received from elderly friends back in the mid 1970's. It is now in three different containers. I had it in those wrought iron hanging baskets with the coconut fiber lining and got tired of every couple of years trying to repot because that coco fiber stuff eventually wears out. I took this one and potted it but couldn't find a trellis. I was in our shed one day and spotted these two 8' long aluminum things that are from when we bought this house in 1975. At that time we didn't have the Florida room, covered deck or pool and enclosure. It was just a cement slab patio with these things holding up the roof. My husband never throws anything away. I have complained over the years about him being a pack rat and he always says "But I might find a use for that some day!" LOL ... well, I found a use for these things. I had him saw them in half and now I have four plant trellises!
