Here’s how

STEP 1 Using clean and sharp secateurs, cut pliable branches or vines up to 3m long and trim cu ings.

STEP 2 Fashion up to 8 branches at least 2m long into U shapes, securing at base with paper twist ties.

STEP 3 At the top, wrap plant wire around branches at least 200mm from ends.

Wrap a branch around the join 6-8 times to cover wire, tucking in the ends.

STEP 4 Starting at the base, poke a branch in the centre, then weave it over and under cage branches, alternatin­g the weaving on each row. At the top, tuck in the branch end. Use a length of coir twine as a hanger.
