I’m trying these beautiful gardens at home but have found that sisal and jute twines degrade very quickly. What kind go string is recommended for long term care and where can it be purchased? Thanks!

String gardens feature plants with soil-covered root balls seated firmly in nets and suspended from the ceiling by tension ropes. Invented in 2011 by Fedor, a Dutch botanist, these pot-free gardens offer an alternative to hanging plants. What’s more, you don’t have to choose a specific type of plant for a string garden. As your skills grow, string up balls of grass, orchids, daises or small trees. For your first few attempts, keep it simple and stick with smaller plants.

This looks like an interesting way to hang annuals from a porch or covered deck. Lots of color with no distractions -

It is very interesting. I am not sure how the plant would be fertilized or how long they could last in this way. So interesting.
