The trellis system and planters have been replaced with assembled plastic planters at a reasonable price. By solving the disadvantages of ceramic pots being heavy and difficult to drain, the assembled plastic planters became more popular.

Use sturdy garden stakes that are lightweight to support the plants. For plants to have a high aesthetic value, bending and shaping are necessary.
