Grow Plants in Unique Ways Using PVC Pipe
If your trailing house plant is in desperate need of some support like mine, look no further than this DIY plant trellis. Perfect for plants like Hoya, Adanson's monstera or devil's ivy, take your indoor plant game to the next level with this simple 4-step DIY!
Items you will need:
- PVC pipe (20cm long by 2-3cm diameter)
- A metal ring (ours is from Lincraft and is 30cm in diameter but they come in a range of sizes)
- Hand saw
- Hot glue gun
- Jute twine
- Scissors
- Your choice of trailing house plant
Steps:
1. Cut a piece of PVC pipe to the height of your pot and use your hand saw to make a notch in the centre at the top. This is where your metal ring will sit.
2. Slot your metal ring into the notch and secure with hot glue (watch the video above if that’s unclear… it’s a bit hard to describe).
3. Once dry, you’ll need to wrap the ring and at least the top 10cm of PVC pipe in jute twine (the lower part of the pipe will be pushed into the soil and won’t be visible).
Twine helps your plant to cling to the trellis and grow to the circular shape. Start by adding hot glue to the top of your pipe and wrap tightly. You can go easy with the glue, just adding a dot of hot glue every couple of centimeters is plenty.
4. Place your trellis into your chosen pot, wrap your trailing plant around and watch it grow!
