My indoor plants are growing really well with the automatic arduino plant watering system (created for last semester college group project). The Cuban oregano is growing so well that it needed more support. Instead of using a tomato cage, I created a support system out of Knex. I had a few sets of Knex in storage, including a roller coaster and some adapter pieces that allow it to connect with Legos. I was able to use Lego base plates to start with a stable platform. The advantage to using Knex is that the shape can be expanded as the plant grows, and the pieces are flexible so they won't damage the plant. I even added some fun pieces at the top.
Although this system works great for a single indoor plant, it would not work outdoors. Heat and sun would end up fading and breaking down the plastics.
