My guess is that its for vine/crawling plants if you loop the vines through the notches so they go upwards... but i have no clue

I’m cracking up 😂 that makes sense. I tried to scan it on google lens but it keep pulling up planks of wood lol maybe it isn’t for plants. It was here from the previous renters

It almost looks like a coat hanger to be honest, like if you flip it upside down. Maybe the past tenants repurposed it for something else?

### Lay.grew.it commented on 2023-04-20

I hope I can think of a way to repurpose it for my plants lol

It looks like those pot holder/hangers. You take and put a pot lip in the groove and it holds the pot for you. Googling terracotta pot hanger and terracotta wall hanger got me some results with things like yours.

Hope that helps!

Thank you!!!!!

Definitely agree with Em

### Brianna commented on 2023-04-20

I think you can slide the lip of the pot under there and it will hold it at an angle?

#### Lay.grew.it replied on 2023-04-22

I’ll try it
