Efeutute are climbing and climbing plants for indoor culture, whose shoots can be many meters long. If the plant is to climb up, it needs a trellis. What climbing aid options are there?

The Efeutute can be tied or glued

Efeututes do not form adhesive roots

Unlike other climbing plants, ivy does not develop adhesive roots, only aerial roots. These do not stick to the ground or a climbing aid and must therefore be tied to the climbing aid by hand or attached in some other way.

The right climbing aid for ivy

You can use anything that you can guide or tie the tendrils to as a climbing aid for an ivy.

Small trellises, which are inserted into the substrate, are often used. The tendrils are simply passed through the mesh. In the case of ivy in hydroponics, the climbing aid should be made of plastic so that it does not rot.

With a trellis as a climbing aid, the pot must be deep enough so that you can anchor it well in the ground.

Epithelial trunks as a climbing aid

Epithelial trunks wrapped in moss are very popular as climbing aids. The moss is water-storing and thus increases the humidity.

The tendrils of an ivy are attached to the epithic stem with clips.

The clamps must not constrict the shoots of the ivy. Otherwise, you prevent the water and nutrient supply, so that the ivy gets yellow leaves and, in the worst case, the shoot dies.

Pull ivy climbing

To green a wall, all you need is a few nails. You simply tie the tendrils of the ivy to it.

tips

You can easily grow an ivy without climbing aids if you simply let the tendrils hang. But remember that ivy is poisonous and the tendrils should not be within reach of children and pets.
