Dollar Tree is definitely the place to get things for your plants, you just have to think outside the box! I have a Monstera that I’m training, and I was trying to think of the most economical way to get it started.

I found these hanging baskets, turned them upside down, and started training the plant around them. They’re pretty sturdy, too. I attached them to the stake using a few pieces of the chain that came with the baskets.

I hope when the vines the fill in, the contraption won't look as janky. 😒
