Training a climbing plant

Get ready for your plants to climb. Climbers can reach dizzying heights and will always find a good grip to attain the best view point.

A cascade of green

These athletic plants excel in finding the most improbable places to cling on to and will totter 
confidently along the finest of wires. Your goal is to create a new vista by adding a touch of 
colour to the walls of your home. 

So, to cover a plain wall or enhance the façade of your house, it's time to think vertically. 
Begonia, jasmine, clematis, rose trees and passionflower will soar up your walls elegantly, 
guided by an invisible cable.

 

Hints and Tips

For the best results, training should be done right from planting to guide the growth of the 
plant from the first appearance of shoots.
Make sure that tying doesn't damage plants by attaching them with figure-eight loops. 
Also ensure that the support is suitable for the weight of the climber. Some plants have a 
great deal of foliage and will require a sturdy support. 

  • Training a climbing plant

    Invisible training kit

    - Seemingly invisible cable to show off your plant fully.
    - No-rust cable that stretches in a straight line in contrast to basic wire.
    - Adjustable system allowing you to create and personalise vertical landscapes as often as you 
    want.
    - Possibility to combine several training kits, according to the growth of the plant.
    - Flexible and sturdy solution that will support your strongest plants without damaging them. 

    Kits comprise 10m of galvanised steel cable, 10 special coach bolts, lock nuts and suitable 
    plugs. Once you have passed the cable through the slit in the coach bolt, hold it in place and 
    tighten the bolt. Now you simply have to guide the plant in the direction you want and train it 
    without tying too tight.
