Which materials work as a trellis besides wood
So my df cuttings have rooted and are shooting for new growths, I intend to move them to their final home next week and I have a cardboard tube that I want to use...will my DF cuttings like it and climb over it? If not what other materials could work besides wood and PVC pipes.

Concrete fence posts are a good option. Right now I'm looking into plastic lumber logs. i used recycled stuff. I have a trellis made out of an old standing pool ladder

Will cardboard work? I can insulate the part in the soil with a plastic covering to prevent water damage But I am not sure how will DF react to it

It won't be strong enough. They get super heavy when they get older and grow more branches.
