INDOOR PLANT TRELLIS

Indoor Plant Support

Indoor vining plants need support to help them grow. It can be expensive to purchase a plant trellis, but making one is super simple!  Read on to learn how. 

Materials Needed

(2) 2×3 select pine boards, cut to your desired length (1) 8′ wood closet pole Drill/driver – 2.5″ screws – Stain in your desired color (I used Dark Walnut by Varathane)

Determining Size

For most smaller vining plants, a 4' or 6' trellis is great.  For this trellis, I used 8' boards, as the plant here can grow up to 12' tall over time.

Cutting Rungs

I cut the rungs for the trellis ladder to the following lengths:  – 18″ – 17″ – 16″ – 15″ – 14″

Spacing

The first rung is installed 18" from the bottom of the side supports, and every other rung is spaced 17". For a shorter trellis, 12" spacing between rungs is ideal.
