How to Train Indoor Plants to Climb
Training your indoor climbers to climb is a super simple process that anyone can do.
There are basically many simple ways to train your plants to climb. Let’s look at each of them.
The first and foremost thing to help any plant climb is to provide some sort of support system that the stem of the plant can literally rely on.
i) Using Plant Clips
Stick several plant hooks or sticky wall hooks on the wall. You can use transparent ones for better aesthetics. Now place the stems of the plant in the hook.
It is the easiest and the most feasible option out of everything in this list.
ii) Using Wood Pole
Insert a bamboo or a wooden pole in your pot and gently wrap the stems of the plant around the pole. You can also use twigs to hold the stems in place if needed. As the plant starts to grow it will eventually grow around the pole having it as a support mechanism.
If you insert a pole in the pot of your plant. Sometimes it will start to climb over the poles naturally without you having to provide any kind of support.
But other times it might need some sort of an encouragement or support to grow and learn to climb over the poles. In such cases, gently tie the stems of the plants to the poles
iii) Using moss pole
You can also use moss poles to help your climbers. Just like the wood pole, the moss pole can also be placed inside the pot. But you will need a bigger pot depending on the size of your moss pole.
Pin the stems of the plant to the moss pole using a ‘U’ shaped pin or a bendable thin metal wire.
iv) Using yarn and push pin
Wrap the yarn over the stem of the plant at various places depending on the length of the plant and tie several knots. Now push the pin into the knots and stick them to the wall.
This method is not possible if you have a wall made of mortar and concrete.
