I went to Home Depot and bought a few packs of super magnets and glued a Gatorade cap at each end. I used a hot glue gun. Then I glues a few mags to the caps. I used mags on the other side of the screen and presto. Stager the mags so the branch doesn't spin. You can also drill the branch and recess the mags in the branch.

You can stick thumb tacks through the holes in the mesh and deep into the stick/branch on both ends. Given that you aren't housing a monitor lizard, it should hold up

If you want small branches from say a hibiscus or ficus tree stick them on the side of the cage with thumbtacks. The tacks on the outside of the cage holding the branch on the side where you cut it off the tree. This has worked for me wonderfully.

My favorite way to hang stuff, is to use plastic chain and cable holders. I use small self tapping screws to anchor the cable holders and zip ties to hold the chain to the cable holders. I used zip ties instead of just putting the chain in the holder, just in case I wanted to change out the chain. It makes it so easy to change stuff, and take the plants in and out.

Action Jackson gave me the idea, here's his post:

I just Had a thought, of to Hang a Live Pothos plant, thats Kinda y I need a sturdy Branch In my enclosure..

 

[MelissaB]

To hang a pothos plant, you could use 2 cable holders and put a section of chain going across the top, or you can use a small board, branch, sections of bamboo on top of the cage so that it spans across the metal frame for support, then use 50lb fishing line or wire to make a loop to hang the plant. You can thread it through the screen so that there isn't a hole. Or you can put a board across and use a hook that screws into the board through the screen.

I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Your not drilling through the screen????

Drill into the end of the wood and put the mag in the wood. Then use a mag on the other side of the screen.

I like this idea

I'm about to set up 5 more cages this way.

 

[MelissaB]

It's the best way I've tried so far. I love how easy it is to move stuff around, and best of all NO TORN SCREEN. I'm so glad you posted about it, and posted pics. Made it easy to use your idea.

Now I'm going to add a few other plants.
