Securing branches on a Reptibreeze

[JaniP]

Where do you but that lattice...
I love it. It has a nice rustic look to it.

I got it at the dollar store in the spring. It's made for gardens. You can find it at home depot as well for an inflated price - I find it to be the same quality.
It deter's my boys from climbing on the screen, which is it's main purpose They climb it instead.

Thank you...I will keep a look out for it.

I have been using a combination of coated screws (reduce rust forming) and neodymium magnets. I drill small pilot holes in the ends of the branches or bamboo and put a screw in. For small branches this is all you need. Put the branch ends where you want them and place the magnets on the outside. No holes in the screens and you can adjust them as needed. For larger branches and Chams, I add a magnet to the end of each branch along with the screw, use a little epoxy around the edges, and then use magnets on the outside to secure them. You can get a variety of sizes of round magnets on Amazon.com. Watch your fingers though! They are small but very strong and tend to "snap" together when you put loose ones near each other. Also, I tried using hot glue to secure the magnets at first, but found that the magnets can break the bond, so I switched to 2 part epoxy. Works great for my panthers, Jacksons, and Veileds.

Guess who just ordered a boatload of neodymiums! I'll let you know how they work out.

Sounds good, too. This brings up another question. Do you "hide" your pots or try to blend them in? If so, how?

For now I have the puts exposed. The pots are black so they don't stand out.

The pots are exposed. Dam auto correct.

I added a pothos and was going to put it behind a piece of bark, but, like you said, it just kinda blends in...
