    "Pay attention" indeed, but things would be easier if the OP had posted a more current photo of their setup. ;)

    Either way, there is nothing to support a wall trained ceanothus or any climbing clematis and those pots are way too small for permanent plants.  Maybe a pelargonium or two but not a permanent plant needing a good root run and plenty of fertility and moisture.

    It would also help if people posted in English @Papi Jo.
    There is nothing wrong with jordan.d3193 post. They are relatively new and managed to post a photo and place it with the text.
    We are not all computer literate and able to take professional pictures, sometimes it is a struggle so easier to use a past one. With a perfectly good explanation.
    Apologies jordan.

    Nice pots and ceanothus @Sheps

    I can't see any problem with working out Papi Jo's "canisse treillis" if we can all decipher what is meant by "clementis" and recognise that they are actually ceanothus.

    As for photos, there is bound to be confusion if it's the wrong photo and doesn't show the current situation.

    I hope the advice on pot sizes and plant care has helped Jordan to recognise what he, or she, needs to do to have healthy, happy plants that will grow well and fill their allotted space.  If not, we've wasted our time and he/she has wasted their time and money too on plants that will struggle.

  • i am currently growing my ceanothus this way and i will get bigger wider pots soon but no rush as they are relatively new plants. The trellis is actually very stable dosent feel flimsy at all to me so i will give it a go.

    That pic of the trellis looks fine and the ceanothus will probably be OK this season as long as you keep it adequately watered and fed.  Pot them on before winter tho as those pots are so narrow the roots will get frozen.

    You do need to remove those little plastic ties tho as they are unsightly and can quickly get too tight.  Try using some hemp twine instead and tie it loosely.
