Arka™ Trellis - Petite Mini - AMETHYST
"These are so beautiful in person and well made. Perfect for hoyas! Don’t sleep on these for your plant babies." CS (USA)
Exclusive to Love That Leaf in NZ, Arka have come all the way from another small business in the USA. Created by Ara from Propagation Diaries in Atlanta, Georgia, whose Hoya collection is what dreams are made of (not to mention her Begonia, Anthurium, Alocasia and more).
This trellis: Amethyst in Petite / Mini
Pick your size
Arka Petite Mini | 25 to 26cms tall | 4.5 to 6cms wide
Perfect for the little-ones who want to climb, but a big trellis would tip over their pot. I use this size right down to my 5cm propagation pots and larger, like the Teku Mini 5.5cm clear pot. If you want the sides of your Arka to be straight up-and-down in the pot (not curved inwards slightly at the bottom), go for pots 6cms and wider.
Arka Small/Medium | 26cms to 28cms tall | 7cms to 10cms wide
Fits pots 6cms wide and larger, like the Rain Mini Clear Pot. Or if you want the sides of your Arka to be straight up-and-down in the pot (not curved inwards slightly towards the bottom), they fit pots from 10cm and wider.
Arka Medium/Large | 28cms to 30cms tall | 11cms to 12.5cms wide
Fits pots 10cms wide and larger, like the Rain 10 Clear Pot or Teku 11 Clear Pot. Or for straight up-and-down sides (not curved inwards slightly at the bottom), they fit pots from 12.5cm and wider.
Please note: When you order multiples of the same size, we'll do our best to give you all identical height and width Arka, however to avoid waste when they are made, they do vary in height and width, within the ranges listed above, however do allow 0.5cm overlap between sizes.
Pick your colours
The original CLEAR transparent. Perfect with a clear pot and clear claw clips so the focus is entirely on your plant.
AMETHYST transparent. Subtle colour-changing from pale pink to pale purple in different lights. Heart-melting prettiness.
NEON PINK transparent. A blast of colour that changes from hot pink to glowing neon-pink with an orange-neon pop in different lights. Very 'look at me' 80's vibes.
FLURO. A pop of happiness. Changes colour from fluroscent yellow to neon green in different lights.
DISCO. Did someone say more glitter please? Smooth on the outside, lashing of silver glitter on the inside with a sprinkle of rainbow sparkles in the light.
CLEAR RAINBOW IRIDESCENT. Express your inner rainbow. Clear, colour-changing. Lilac, turquoise, gold, pink... it's all here, but subtle.
CHAMPAGNE GLITTER. Deliciously sparkly and indulgent. A bronze shade of rich rose gold, packed full of glittery gorgeousness.
ROSE GOLD REFLECT. Mirror-finish rose gold that almost glows with warmth.
FOREST. The perfect emerald green that either blends in or stands out depending on the foliage you pair it with.
BLACK SMOKE TRANSPARENT. Subtle, dark but see-through. Keeps the focus on your foliage.
BLACK GLITTER. Drama, drama, drama. In a very good way. Inky black and full of glitter.
What plants are the Arka trellis best for?
All your small to medium, thinner-stemmed plants that need support or want to climb. Perfect for Hoya, Chain of Hearts, miniature Orchids, Syngonium and smaller aroids including Philodendron, Pothos, Epipremnum and more.
What are Arka made of?
Arka are made of acrylic. Yes, it costs more, but it's worth it for the almost glass-like super clear finish and strength, allowing them to be thin yet strong, so they can be made slim enough to slip into pots without disturbing roots.
Strong and more durable than glass with 17 x the impact-resistance. 50% lighter than glass. Won't tip over your smaller pots. Good flexibility without breaking, so you can gently squeeze together the 'feet' of your Arka to slide into smaller-width pots.
Easy to wipe clean, and unlike other plastics that yellow over time, acrylic retains its clarity with minimal yellowing. Popular for tables and furniture, glasses lenses, jewellery... and plant supports!
How to care for acrylic
Clean with warm, soapy water only. Avoid harsh or abrasive detergents or cloths which scratch. Can be polished back to smooth if scratched.
