Guide a climber across a wall without drilling.
Stick a clip where you want the plant to go next, tuck the stem into the hook, and it grows along the line you set rather than flopping forward. White clips in three sizes, in packs of 10, 30 or 50.
Treat these as guides for light stems, and try one on your surface before committing to a whole route.

Small self-adhesive clips that hold a climbing stem against a wall, with no drilling.
Plenty of climbers will happily grow up a wall but have no way of holding on to a smooth painted surface. Left alone they flop forward and end up trailing across the floor.
These clips give the stem somewhere to sit. You stick one where you want the plant to go next, tuck the stem into the hook, and the plant grows along the line you have set rather than the one gravity chose.
Clean and dry the surface first. Adhesive fails on dust more often than on weight.
Plan the route you want the stem to take and mark a few positions.
Peel and press each clip firmly, then leave them to bond before loading them.
Rest the stem into the hook. Do not force a stiff stem into position.
Add clips ahead of the growing tip as the plant extends.
Material: plastic clip with a self-adhesive base
Color: white
Pack sizes: 10, 30 or 50 clips; clip sizes: small, medium or large
Fitting: peel and stick, no drilling
Two choices: clip size (small, medium or large) and pack size (10, 30 or 50). All clips are white.
A 10-pack is enough to trial one stem; a single mature climber trained across a wall can easily use 20 or more.
Adhesive is the weak point in any stick-on fixing. Textured, damp, dusty, freshly painted or wallpapered surfaces are all likely to let go.
Use them as guides for light stems rather than as load-bearing hooks.
Removing an adhesive pad can take paint or wallpaper with it. Test one somewhere hidden first.
Outdoors, temperature swings and damp shorten the life of any adhesive.
Space them along the stem as it grows rather than trying to fix a long trailing vine all at once.
Will they hold on my wall?
On a smooth, clean, dry surface they have the best chance. Try one clip and give it a day before committing to a whole route.
How much weight will one take?
They're intended to guide light climbing stems, not to hold a heavy plant.
Will they damage the paint?
Possibly, when removed. That is true of any adhesive fixing. Test one in an inconspicuous spot before you use dozens.
Can I use them outside?
You can, but adhesive on an exterior wall has to cope with damp and temperature swings, so expect a shorter life than indoors.
How many will I need?
More than you expect. A stem needs support every few inches to follow a line cleanly, so one climber trained across a wall can use 20 or more.
Why you'll love it
No drilling. Peel and stick, which is the only option in a lot of rented rooms.
You choose the route. Place a clip where you want the plant to go next and it grows along that line.
Small and quiet. In white, they read as part of the wall rather than as hardware.
Training a climber up a wall
Training a plant across a wall works best if you decide the shape before you start. Stand back, picture where you want it in a year, and mark a few points along that route. Working clip by clip as the plant grows tends to produce a wandering line you cannot correct later.
Then go slowly. Guide the newest, most flexible growth, and never force an older stem that has already set its direction, because it will simply snap. Support every few inches: too far apart and the stem sags between clips.
Give the adhesive time. Press each clip firmly, leave it a day before you load it, and start with one in a hidden spot to see how your particular wall behaves. Smooth, clean and dry is what these need; textured or freshly painted surfaces are where stick-on fixings usually fail.
A quick guide for your growing space
Heat
Pots dry out faster than garden beds in a hot spell. Check the soil before you water, and leave heat-stressed stems alone rather than repositioning them.
Humidity
Damp air suits many tropical houseplants, but airflow still matters. Leave room between a support and a wall so air can move around the stems you have just tied in.
Frost
A plant support offers no protection from cold. Move tender plants indoors or cover them based on what your own conditions call for.
Small spaces
Growing upward frees up the surface a plant was sprawling across. Use a pot heavy enough to stay put once the weight is higher than it used to be.
