The right climbing aid for efeututen
As a climbing aid for one Efeutute you can use anything that you can route or tie the tendrils to.
Small trellises that are inserted into the substrate are often used. The tendrils are simply passed through the mesh. For Efeututen 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.
Epithic trunks as a climbing aid
Epite trunks wrapped in moss are very popular as climbing supports. The moss stores water and thus increases the humidity.
The tendrils of an Efeutute are attached to the stem of the epithelium with clips.
The clamps must not constrict the shoots of the ivy. Otherwise, they will cut off the supply of water and nutrients, so that the Efeutute yellow leaves gets and in the worst case the drive dies.
