Mini-tellises are available - I've even seen them at HD. Cost seems high considering what you get. Why not make your own? I am not at all handyman skilled, but I've made them using wood lathe (easy but takes some practice figuring out the cuts); plastic fencing and PVC (very, very easy but look yucky); 'twigs' (not quite so easy but look okay in the garden); and bamboo (basically pretty easy but DO get a bamboo saw [from leevalley or similar] and bamboo-twine [from gardener's supply] or use a small drill & screws). In pots, I prefer to make a miniature tuteur (sp?) you know, the three- or four-legged tower that looks like a cross between a ladder and a tomato cage. Just be sure to make the legs (tuteur or trellis) long enough to go as deep as possible in your pots - too many of the commercial ones are not very sturdy because you can't set the legs deep enough and then the plant pulls them over.

Someday, I'm going to make some from copper wire!

Thank you so much for your help and ideas...looks like I better get busy being creative!!!! LOL

Last night neighbor showed me one she had made for a potted Mandeville vine. Used 1/2" plastic water pipe from HD [cut into short pieces and screwed together), and covered the cut ends with a 'cap' made from wet shredded paper and concrete.. I think a mortar mix, no gravel in it. When it was dry, she spray-painted the whole thing dark green, and I was surprised at how good it looked! Not at all plastic-y.

Depending upon the type of plant, I think even tomato cages work well and can become inconspicuous with some types of growth.
