Ok, so true to my style it is definitely not fancy but... I made a different trellis for my Hoya because the cat one I made was not big enough. I had the vines all rigged up oddly lol. #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #diyplanter
2ft to light, direct
6โ€ pot with drainage

Nah. Very fancy. What did you use to fasten the sticks?
@MusicalRedmint I used a hot glue gun lol. I used jute twine to stabilize the bottom, middle, and top even more. My partner brought me a pack of shishkabob skewers last night. He was all excited he had found them for 97 cents and figured I could use them as just straight supports. I told him it was even better than that because I could use them to make a trellis or all sorts of things and the Hoya really needed more than the cat I made, but I didn't have any bigger boards to make a bigger one with my laser engraver, so I rigged one up by hand :)
Ah the trusty glue gun. Figures.
It looks really great. Congrats, you're crimson queen will love the added space, the support and the obvious thought you've put into it, I am sure
@MusicalRedmint thanks so much Lady! How's your babies?
@MusicalRedmint I used the hot glue gun because I didn't think I had enough twine but I probably had enough, I realized once I was done.
the hoyas, apart from the krohniana and another one with a leaf issue, are still seemingly okay. The rest....๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ
So you think you could have worked just with the twine and it would hold?
@MusicalRedmint ugh! I wish you didn't have to go through that.
Yeah as long as I managed to tie it really tight
K. Food for thought. And maybe a project if the hoyas don't get infected. Some have started growing like weeds the last few days, and one has started climbing like crazy. So if I want them to remain movable I need options. Thank you for that great example.
@MusicalRedmint Yes! I would send you a pre-made one from my laser engraver, but I'm waiting on the bigger wood sheets to come in the mail.
@MusicalRedmint you can even make some from things like wire hangers :) I'm gonna make one of those for my Tradescantia
Also... not really feasible since I live in a land far, far away. I live across a very big ocean ๐Ÿ˜‰ thank you for the kind thought, though.
I also like DIY projects and maybe it will keep my mind off my dying plants.
That's also an idea, but I prefer wood. For me and my plants.
