How about attaching some type of clamp, hook or large upright branch next to the primary vines and attaching the vines with ties. There is the new Velcro...
Pothos is a clinger not a twiner. I'd look for a solution in sealing the concrete (to provide a better clinging surface and stop the pH issue) and keeping its...
Try the Jakob Trellis system. We are looking into installing these in our new gardens. http://www.arcat.com/arcatcos/cos42/arc42721.html Sarada Krishnan ...
