Trellis apparatus for supporting a growing plant, and related systems and methods

A system for growing a plant, the system comprising:

• a portable container to hold a plant while the plant grows;
• and
• a trellis apparatus to support the plant while the plant grows, the trellis apparatus comprising:
• a mesh operable to support and hold a growing portion of the plant, wherein:
• the mesh is sized and configured to not support and not hold a growing portion of another plant that is not held by the portable container, and
• the mesh has an array of passages, each passage defined by a section of a line that is configured to form the mesh, and at least one of the passages is sized to allow a growing portion of the plant to extend through the passage;
• and
• a frame that supports and holds the mesh above the plant, wherein the frame includes:
• a stanchion that positions and holds the mesh above the plant, and
• a coupler that secures the stanchion to the container.

A method for growing a plant, the method comprising:

• disposing a plant in a portable container having a trellis apparatus coupled to the container, wherein the trellis apparatus includes:
• a mesh that is sized and configured to not support and not hold a growing portion of a plant that is not held by the portable container, and that includes an array of passages, each passage defined by a section of a line that is configured to form the mesh, and at least one of the passages is sized to allow a growing portion of the plant to extend through the passage, and
• a frame that includes a stanchion and a coupler;
• with the frame's stanchion, positioning and holding the mesh near the plant in the portable container such that the mesh does not support and does not hold a plant disposed in another portable container;
• allowing a portion of the plant disposed in the portable container to grow through a passage of the trellis apparatus' mesh;
• and
• with the trellis apparatus' mesh, supporting and holding the plant.
