How to prevent climbing plant to grow up over the roof or limit it's growth in any other direction?
Question:We have very nice climbing plant all around the walls of the house.
The trouble is it wants to grow over the windows, doors and also managed to climb over the gully to the roof. I have to cut it often around the windows, but the roof is very high and I'm not very keen to climb it often.
But I would invest in some long term solution - like mounting some metal screens around the roof edge and around the windows, but I don't know what design would work?
Answers:
the plant will grow to it's maximum potential size seeking light. I'm afraid the best way to deal with it is pruning. sorry.
It's IMPOSIBLE
i use fishing wire to let the vine detour its self from climbing way up if you string the fishing wire on places away from windows and doors it will latch on to that and grow what ever way you train it on the wire.
