HousePlants

I am not really sure what this plant is but that don’t really matter for this post. It is about the way it grows, many plant grow wildly without any way to hold it’s self up. If left unattended it will it dangle and grow on to anything it can reach.

Before I moved I had this plant growing on a Tomato Trellis. I kind of liked it because it made it more like a tree. I used it to block sunlight that would blind anyone sitting on my couch.   But with that trellis is was hard to move and I had to put it in a bigger pot then it needed with rocks in the bottom just to keep it from tipping over.
I put it in a smaller pot but didn’t really know what I was going to do with all the “vines”.  I had a bunch of metal hangers that I was throwing out, it came to me. I straighten two and put the criss-cross in the pot. sorry about the horrible drawing but it is just to give you any idea since you cannot really see it in the picture.  Just toss the “vines” over the hangers and just keep doing it until is doesn’t fall.

I did this to a few on my mother-in-laws plants that she was just letting hang. They all seem to like it.  I like that it makes them look full/bushy.  However I am going to have to find something to do with it soon because it is growing fast.   I do not really want to go back to the trellis, I would like to get some longer pieces of metal to do the same thing but bigger.
