FAQ About DIY Indoor Plant Supports and Structures

Is it necessary to use ties when supporting an indoor plant?

While not always necessary, using ties can help ensure that a plant remains attached to its support, especially if it's a climbing variety. Soft materials such as garden twine, old nylons, or specialized plant ties allow for gentle attachment without causing harm to the plant's stems. The use of ties is particularly recommended for plants with fragile stems that require additional support to stay upright.
